Title: Jofukyusai betsugoroku [Satake’s Grand List of Pseudonyms]
Author: SUZUKI, Ichimei (or O), compiler
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: 48 parts & one index in 20 vols. 8vo, orig. yellow wrappers, orig. block-printed title labels on upper covers, new stitching. [Kubota]: Meitokukan Academy, 1827. Second edition (1st ed.: 1825) and rare; this was printed in the Kubota domain in northwestern Japan. Following the death of his father in 1785, Yoshimasa Satake (1775-1815), became daimyo of the Kubota domain in Dewa Province (modern-day Akita Prefecture). He instituted a number of reforms, ordering the planting of extensive windbreaks to improve crop yields; encouraged the mining, silk, and lacquerware industries; instituted land reforms; dismissed incompetent and corrupt officials; and hired forestry management experts. He also established the domain academy, the Meitokukan [“House of Virtues”], which developed an active publishing division. The present work is a rare example of an early publication from the school, which specialized in Chinese learning and Confucian traditions. The Preface was written, under the pseudonym “Rakuo,” by Sadanobu Matsudaira (1758-1829), who instituted the “Kansei Reforms” of 1789-1801, which included a number of educational changes, improving the quality of learning through Japan. The compiler of this work, Ichimei Suzuki (d. 1818), was a teacher at the Meitokukan and was encouraged by Satake (referred to here by his pen name “Jofukyusai”) to prepare this work. It is a list of pseudonyms of authors and other people of the Three Kingdoms era (220-80 AD) in China, with biographical sketches of each person. For each name, Suzuki and his fellow compilers have given citations of the Chinese books in which they were able to determine the actual names. Fine and fresh set, preserved in two old chitsu. With the “Kanda ke zo” seal of the Kyoto collector Kogan Kanda (d. 1918), who formed a large and fine library, which was inherited by his grandson Kiichiro Kanda.

Title: Tell me what sort of wall paper your room has and I will tell you who you are
Author: CARRIÓN, Ulises
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: [20] leaves. Small 8vo (178 x 115 mm.), orig. black printed dust-jacket, perfect-bound. Geneva, Switzerland: Ateliers Typographiques Héros-Limite, 1995. The very rare second edition of Carrión’s beguiling bookwork composed of bound wallpaper samples, one of the artist’s lesser-known books, due to its rarity. The 1973 first edition, published by the artists’ space In-Out Center, was made in an edition of 50 numbered copies. The present work is one of 52 copies, 26 of which are lettered A-Z, the rest numbered 27 to 52; our copy is no. 42. This book is part of a series of re-publications that Juan J. Agius, an executor of Carrión’s estate, undertook to replicate the increasingly scarce and fragile bookworks Ulises Carrión (1941-89) created in the 70s. Under the imprint of Editions Héros-Limite in Geneva, Agius produced second editions of Mirror Box (1st ed.: 1979), Looking for Poetry / Tras la Poesía (1st ed.: 1973), Arguments (1st ed.: 1973), and the present bookwork. ”In Ulises Carrión’s bookworks, the ellipsis of the literary text is accompanied by an ellipsis of the narrative, as can be seen in the listing of names or the identification of characters that are not linked by any narrative relationship within a story…In Tell me what sort of wall paper your room has and I will tell you who you are (1973), Carrión cuts out and binds together a set of wallpaper samples, typing on them the name of the room in which each will appear. The names start in the first person (my room), then identify the members of his family and relations (my parent’s room, my sister’s room, my uncle’s room, my wife’s room, my teacher’s room), finally reaching a progressive lack of differentiation of the person to whom the room with the specific wallpaper belongs (your room, a room, …’s room). The subtlety of this bookwork is apparent not only in the readymade of the wallpapers but also in the suggestion of a narrative that does not require a text for its construction: the simple association of the identities of the rooms’ owners in the first person informs us that the narrator has a teacher, a wife, etc. The progression of these identifications suggests a leaving of the family home to enter the world, the framework of so many narratives found in short stories, novellas, and novels. The new art of making books permits the insinuation of a story without resorting to text or narrative…”–João Fernandes, “Art as Subversion: Make and Remake to Make Anew” in Guy Schraenen, ed., Dear reader. Don’t read. (2016), p. 41 (analyzing the 1st ed.). In excellent and fresh condition. The first edition is unrecorded on WorldCat, and we find only three copies of the second in North American institutions. ❧ Juan J.

Title: A LETTER FROM HON. THOS. H. BENTON, TO COMMODORE STEWART, ON THE ACTION OF THE NAVY BOARD
Author: Benton, Thomas Hart
Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: [np:], 1856. 12mo, 10pp. Disbound, lightly tanned, Very Good. In this scarce pamphlet Benton explains his opposition to the law that has separated many distinguished officers from the Navy, as part of the Navy's planned reduction in force. The "odious and trackless secrecy of the proceeding" is especially objectionable. Because the decision-making Board serves as agents of the President, the Act has rendered the navy "a Presidential navy, holding by the tenure of Executive favor," rather than "the navy of the country." Commodore Charles Stewart, one of the career officers cashiered under the Act, was a celebrated naval officer. During his long service he commanded the American Mediterranean Squadron; at the time of Benton's Letter he commanded the Philadelphia Navy Yard. He served during the Quasi War with France and the War of 1812 as commander of the Constitution, the Constellation, and other vessels. FIRST EDITION.

Author: Grautoff, Ferdinand H., writing as "Seestern.
Seller: L. W. Currey, Inc. (United States)
Description: London: Kegan Paul, 1907. Octavo, pp. [i-iv] v-vii [viii] ix-xxiii [xxiv] 1-402 [403: printer's imprint] [404: blank], original pictorial black cloth, front panel stamped in gray, red and white, spine panel stamped in red and gray. First edition in English. Translation of '1906' DER ZUSAMMENBRUCH DER ALTEN WELT (1905). Account of an imaginary world war set in the near future that exhausts the European nations and shifts the balance of power to the United States and Russia. "The English introduction of the revolutionary dreadnought battleships, and the Moroccan crisis of 1905, stimulated the writing of a number of German war visions. The most successful of these was Ferdinand Grautoff's '1906' DER ZUSAMMENBRUCH DER ALTEN WELT (1905). By 1907, 125,000 copies had been published. This best seller would serve as an archetype for the genre well into the 1930s. In his account of a coming Anglo-German conflict, Grautoff exhorted the public to support the Kaiser's quest for a stronger navy. '1906' was a skillful mixture of fact and fiction, a persuasive portrayal of future war and Germany's stake in expanding its power at sea." - Fisher, Fantasy and Politics: Visions of the Future in the Weimar Republic, p. 4.
