Title: CALENDRIER POUR CETTE ANNEE
Author: (EPHEMERA). (POCKET ALMANAC)
Seller: Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts (United States)
Description: Paris: Louis Janet, [ca. 1820s]. (Necessaire): 120 x 70 mm (4 3/4 x 2 3/4"). Calendar: [6] leaves; notebook: [4] leaves. Red straight-grain morocco, lined with green satin, containing a calendar in paper wrappers and notebook bound in matching pale green satin. Exterior decorative panel with central painted porcelain scene surrounded by wire filigree and pearls, under a glass window. In a later red morocco case by Riviere & Son (stamp-signed), double ruled in gilt, raised bands, gilt-ruled compartments. Each calendar page with an engraved vignette. The necessaire additionally containing a pair of scissors with a delicately carved mother-of-pearl handle, a silver mechanical pencil, a small wooden pencil, and an awl (a tipped-in early 20th century auction listing not mentioning the latter two, suggesting they are possible later additions). The notebook with the engraved bookplate of Sir David Lionel Goldsmid-Stern-Salomons, dated 1908, to the front pastedown. Calendar leaves loose, with fore-edges slightly creased, other trivial defects, but the leaves and binding fresh and quite clean. Nécessaire lightly worn from use, with very short split to one tab closure; decorative panel with faint horizontal hairline crack (visible only under magnification), scattered losses to the paint on the porcelain panel, but the fragile object surprisingly well preserved, with all its components present. This charming calendar, in a period nécessaire (a small case for toiletries or, as here, personal implements), provides a window into the life of a young woman during France’s Bourbon Restoration; wonderfully preserved (in a custom Riviere box), it was later in an important British collection. Small calendars and almanacs were popular New Years gifts for young French women starting in the late 18th century, and by the second decade of the 19th century--when this calendar was likely produced--a thriving industry had grown up around their production. Louis Janet (1788-1840), who was in business as a bookseller and binder from 1810 through 1838, made much of his business in these small almanacs and keepsake books. In our charming almanac, each month has an attractive engraving of a Neoclassical scene, with graceful women in flowing drapery, often accompanied by flitting putti. The nécessaire is similarly decorated: the central panel depicts a young female in a flowing gown leaning over a plinth inscribed with the text: "l’amilie me suffit" ("friendship is enough for me"). These attractive illustrations, together with the contents of the nécessaire, suggest its owner was a fashionable young woman. This delightful object is from the collection of David Lionel Salomons (1851-1925), whose books were chosen with notable discrimination, the goal always being to obtain copies in very fine condition. The collection was particularly strong in 18th and 19th century illustrated books and attractive bindings. It is very likely, given the dates of his collection, that he was the owner who commissioned the pleasing Riviere & Son box in which the nécessaire currently resides..

New. $17.50 * In six lectures, Aiken compares the constitutions of Great Britain and the United States and also examines their similarities and differences in terms of government, (The House of Commons and the House of Representatives, the Senate and the House of Lords), religion, slavery, elections, the judiciary and other topics. "The author's design was to compare our limited monarchy with the greatest modern republic, not in order to disparage either, but to elucidate both to a popular audience of his countrymen (...) The subject has an intrinsic claim to attention. It embraces a variety of topics, both entertaining and important, and historical truths of immense practical value, concerning which the people are deeply interested and too often misled." --Preface, viii CONTENTS: Lecture One: Introductory Lecture Two: Provincial Institutions. Outline of American Constitution. Lecture Three: Elective Franchise. Legislative Assemblies. Lecture Four: The Executive Power. Lecture Five: Law-Religion. Lecture Six: Social Influence of Political Institutions. Peter Freeland Aiken [1799?-1877] was a Scottish advocate for some time, and later moved to Bristol, England. He was the author of The People's Charter, and Old England For Ever (1839) and War: Religiously, Morally and Historically Considered (1850).

Description: New York: Roy Publishers. Very Good in Fair dj. (c.1946). First Edition. Hardcover. NOISBN . [solid copy, minor bumping at several corners, light soiling to page edges, small faint bookseller's stamp at bottom of front pastedown; jacket heavily worn at edges, with numerous small tears, soiling, etc.] "It was just a casual impulse that sent Corporal Blackie backstage to visit his friend Joe -- an impulse which carried him into the life of Eileen, the red-haired strip-teaser. This is their story, and the story of Norman, Eileen's husband, married just a few weeks before he was shipped out to Africa, to lose both hands, win the Military Medal and fall in love with his courageous young nurse. It is the story of Gerry, for whom Blackie was not glamorous enough; of John, who was lonely, but who could not face what the company psychiatrist discovered about him." The author, in his first novel, has constructed the narrative out of "letters, bits of conversation, flash-backs and scraps of action." .
