Seller: Type Punch Matrix

Title: TREE AND LEAF
Author: Tolkien, J.R.R.; [Auden, W.H.]
Seller: Type Punch Matrix (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1965. Very good.. Uncorrected proof of the first US edition of Tolkien's long essay on fairy tales, accompanied by an exemplary story - W.H. Auden's copy. Though unsigned, this copy is W.H. Auden's, with his markings in the text and notes (including a list of the seven deadly sins) on the blank verso of the last leaf. Auden famously wrote a 1954 NEW YORK TIMES review raving about THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RINGS, which in no small part helped legitimize Tolkien in literary circles: "No fiction I have read in the last five years has given me more joy." He also shared a friendly correspondence with Tolkien, exchanging letters frequently over the years and receiving advance copies of the next two installments of the series. He also, the year after TREE AND LEAF appeared, spoke at a New York gathering of the Tolkien Society. Tolkien himself later contributed a lovely poem in Anglo-Saxon and English titled "For W.H.A." as part of a festschrift for Auden's sixtieth birthday in SHENANDOAH. This book, in many ways a critical defense of the kind of stories Auden had previously so lavishly praised, would have undoubtedly been of particular interest. An excellent association and rare in this format. 11'' x 5.5''. Original plastic-comb-bound printed pale blue wrappers. [2], 82 pages. With Auden's marginal marks throughout and his notes on the final leaf. Offsetting and small coffee(?) stains mostly confined on wrappers, a bit musty. Comb intact.

Title: Significant Collection of the Worcester Magazine, Publisher Isaiah Thomas' Protest against Advertising Tax. Filled with News of Shays' Rebellion, and Federalist and Anti-Federalist Essays
Author: ISAIAH THOMAS
Seller: Seth Kaller, Inc. (United States)
Condition: Good
Description: In 1785, the state of Massachusetts instituted a stamp tax on newspapers but soon replaced it with a tax on newspaper advertisements. To protest the tax on advertisements, Thomas suspended his weekly newspaper, Thomas's Massachusetts Spy; or, the Worcester Gazette, at the end of March 1786. In April 1786, Thomas began publishing the Worcester Magazine, which was not subject to the tax, as a substitute for the Massachusetts Spy. Although a magazine in name, the Worcester Magazine continued the same kind of news as Thomas had printed in his newspaper. Its most valuable features were political pieces and "intelligence," including essays for and against the new proposed U.S. Constitution. It also included a series entitled "The Worcester Speculator" (16 essays from September 1787 to March 1788), along with agricultural articles, medical notes, recipes, anecdotes, and other items. Thomas continued publishing the Worcester Magazine for twenty-four months (approximately 104 issues) until Massachusetts repealed the advertising tax effective in March 1788, then Thomas resumed publishing the Massachusetts Spy on April 3, 1788. The Worcester Magazine includes extensive coverage of the Massachusetts Ratifying Convention to consider the proposed federal Constitution, which met from January 9 to February 6, 1788. Ownership signatures of "Coln E. Crafts" on some issues indicate they belonged to Ebenezer Crafts (1740-1810). Crafts was born in Connecticut and graduated from Yale College in 1759. He purchased a farm and built a tavern in Sturbridge, Massachusetts. During the Revolutionary War, he commanded a company of cavalry as captain. From 1785 to 1791, Crafts led a regiment of cavalry from Worcester County, Massachusetts, and he helped suppress Shays' Rebellion in 1786-1787. He was one of the founders of Leicester Academy in Leicester, Massachusetts, and later moved to northern Vermont, where he helped found Craftsbury, which was named after him. ISAIAH THOMAS. Magazine. Worcester Magazine, 56 issues from September 1786 to March 1788. Worcester, MA: Isaiah Thomas. Each issue approximately 16 pp., 5½ x 9½ in. Worcester Magazine (1786-1788) was a weekly magazine published in Worcester, Massachusetts, by Isaiah Thomas (1749-1831). To protest a state tax on newspaper advertisements, Thomas suspended his weekly newspaper, Thomas's Massachusetts Spy; or, the Worcester Gazette, at the end of March 1786 and began publishing the Worcester Magazine, which was not subject to the tax, as a substitute.

Pronounced by the Hon. William Cushing, Esq; Chief Justice." (p117/c1-p119/c2) General Election Results; John Hancock elected Governor (p119/c1-p123/c2) "Whether the shattered fabric of the original constitution is to be repaired and enlarged, or a new and stately building erected upon the old foundation—whether, on the one hand, the vast continent is to be distributed into distinct republicks, or, on the other, the majesty of a world, centered in an individual, are questions that respect only the forms and not the objects of government; for there are immutable laws in civil societies, independent of times, places and circumstances...." (p125/c1) "A majority of the States being fully represented in Convention, at Philadelphia, on Friday, the 25th of May, they proceeded to the choice of a President, when his Excellency General Washington was unanimously elected to that important office." (p127/c2) Third Week of June 1787 Shays' Rebellion Content "Act for Raising TROOPS, and granting INDEMNITY," June 13, 1787 (p148/c1-p149/c2) Governor John Hancock to General Court, June 5, 1787, regarding troops in western counties (p152/c1-2) Fourth Week of June 1787 Shays' Rebellion Content Proclamation by John Hancock, June 15, 1787 "the Legislature of this Commonwealth, with an intention, not only to adopt every vigorous and efficacious method, necessary to suppress the present traitorous opposition to the laws, and to restore peace and harmony to the Commonwealth, but also to repeat the offers of grace and mercy to the penitent citizen, and to extend the same as far as may be consistent with the true interest of the Commonwealth, and the security of her citizens in future; have...made provision for the raising and supporting a force, to defend the Commonwealth, against all wicked and rebellious men; and have also with a very extensive clemency, by the same resolve, provided, that 'each and every citizen of this Commonwealth, who have committed any treasons or misprisions of treasons against the same...be, and they thereby are indemnified for the same....'" (p161/c1-p162/c1) Reprieve of several Shays' rebels sentenced to death "It is hoped the lenient measures adopted by government will have the happy tendency of restoring the tranquility of this Commonwealth; but should they fail, it is said those of a different complexion will be pursued."

And the said Gideon Dunham being a malignant and incorrigible offender...the said Gideon Dunham shall not, by virtue thereof, receive any benefit or advantage whatsoever, but is excepted therefrom, and shall be so adjudged.... the said David Dunham shall not be considered as within the exceptions of the said resolution." (p174/c1-2) "Whatever measure may be recommended by the Federal Convention, whether an addition to the old constitution, or the adoption of a new one, it will, in effect, be a revolution in government, accomplished by reasoning and deliberation; an event that has never occurred since the formation of society, and which will be strongly characteristick of the philosophick and tolerant spirit of the age." (p177/c2) List of delegates to the "Federal Convention" "By this very respectable delegation, ELEVEN States are represented. The delegates from the State of New Hampshire, though appointed, have not yet made their appearance. Rhode Island is the only State in the Union that has refused to take a seat at this honourable board of counsellors; but a very short period will unfold, whether her refusal will redound to her honour or disgrace." (p178/c1-2) Second Week of July 1787 "The present Confederation may be compared to a hut or tent, accommodated to the emergencies of war—but it is now time to erect a castle of durable materials, with a tight roof, and substantial bolts and bars, to secure our persons and property, from violence and external injuries of all kinds. May this building rise like a pyramid upon the broad basis of the people! and may they have wisdom to see, that if they delegate a little more power to their rulers, the more liberty they will possess themselves, provided they take care to secure their sovereignty and importance, by frequent elections, and rotation of offices." (p191/c1) Petition of Shays' rebel Henry Gale to Governor John Hancock and Council, June 11, 1787 "Your petitioner...pleads for that mercy he has so justly forfeited—and prays your Excellency and Honours, in your great wisdom, and justly acknowledged goodness, would be pleased to pardon your guilty distressed petitioner, who has aged parents bowed with grief...."

Last Week of July 1787 "An Ordinance for the Government of the Territory of the United States, North-West of the River Ohio," popularly known as the Northwest Ordinance, passed by the Confederation Congress on July 13, 1787. (p225/c1-p228/c2) The ordinance created the Northwest Territory, prohibited slavery in the territory, encouraged education, and created a mechanism for the admission of new states. The First Congress reaffirmed and renewed it through the Northwest Ordinance of 1789. Report of Commencement at Harvard College, at which the college awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree to Thomas Jefferson (p230/c2) More than a year later, in September 1788, President Joseph Willard of Harvard sent the diploma to Jefferson in France via a French naval lieutenant; Jefferson received it in February 1789. Third Week of August 1787 "The whole of the United States, are now waiting with anxious expectation for the result of the Federal Convention, which it is expected will in a few days be made publick." (p279/c2) Fourth Week of August 1787 "We are well informed, that many letters have been written to the members of the federal convention from different quarters, respecting the reports idly circulating, that it is intended to establish a monarchical government, to send for the Bishop of Osnaburgh, &c. &c.—to which it has been uniformly answered, 'tho' we cannot, affirmatively, tell you what we are doing; we can, negatively, tell you what we are not doing—we never once thought of a king.'" (p290/c1) Second Week of September 1787 "The Worcester Speculator. No. I." (p311/c1-p313/c2) "The end proposed, by the creation of man, was, undoubtedly, the communication of happiness. How to bring this design into effect, demands the earliest and ripest thoughts of the human mind. Infinitely various are the means fitted for the accomplishment of this design; and innumerable are the ways, which may, with success, be pursued for this purpose." (p311/c1-2) "Every enterprize, publick as well as private, in the United States (says a correspondent) seems suspended, until it is known what kind of government we are to receive from our National Convention.... In short, the pulse of industry, ingenuity, and enterprize, in every art and occupation of man, now stands still in the United States, and every look—and wish—and hope—is only to, and every prayer to heaven, that has for its object the safety of our country, is only for, the present august National Convention." (p318/c2) First Week of October 1787 Beginning of letter from George Washington to Congress accompanying proposed Federal Constitution, September 17, 1787: "We now have the honour to submit to the consideration of the United States in Congress assembled, that Constitution which has appeared to us the most adviseable. "The friends of our country have long seen and desired, that the power of making war, peace, and treaties, that of levying money and regulating commerce, and the correspondent executive and judicial authorities should be fully and effectually vested in the general government of the Union: But the impropriety of delegating such extensive trust to one body of men is evident—Hence results the necessity of a different organization. "It is obviously impractical in the federal government of these states, to secure all rights of independent sovereignty to each, and yet provide for the interest and safety of all: Individuals entering into society, must give up a share of liberty to preserve the rest. The magnitude of the sacrifice must depend as well on situation and circumstances, as on the object to be obtained." (p12/c1-2) [Text incomplete: lacking front cover and pp. 13-16] Second Week of October 1787 "We are informed that the Constitution proposed by the late Federal Convention promises to be highly popular with the citizens in New York; and that the distinguished person, from whom an opposition was predicted, has expressed himself in terms favorably to the plan. Perhaps there never was a subject indeed, upon which men were more unanimous, for even those who cavil at the system itself, are impressed with the necessity of adopting it." (p25/c2) "George Washington, Esq; has already been destined by a thousand voices, to fill the place of the first President of the United States, under the new frame of government. While the deliverers of a nation, in other countries have hewn out a way to power with the sword, or seized upon it by stratagems and fraud, our illustrious hero peaceably retired to his farm after the war, from whence it is expected he will be called, by the suffrages of three millions of people to govern that country by his wisdom (agreeably to fixed laws) which he had previously made free by his arms. Can Europe boast of such a man?—Or can the history of the world, shew an instance of such a voluntary compact between the Deliverer and the Delivered of any country, as will probably soon take place in the United States?" (p26/c2) Third Week of October 1787 "PROCEEDINGS of the UNITED STATES in CONGRESS assembled, Friday September 28, 1787. "Congress having received the report of the Convention, lately assembled in Philadelphia. "Resolved unanimously, That the said report, with the resolutions and letter accompanying the same, be transmitted to the several legislatures, in order to be submitted to a convention of delegates, chosen in each state by the people thereof, in conformity to the resolves of the Convention, made and provided in that case." (p34/c1) First Week of November 1787 "Summary of late Intelligence. / New York, October 26. (Excerpt from Federalist No. 1) "Among the most formidable of the obstacles which the new Constitution will have to encounter may readily be distinguished the obvious interest of a certain class of men in every State to resist all changes which may hazard a diminution of the power, emolument, and consequence of the offices they hold under the State establishments; and the perverted ambition of another class of men, who will either hope to aggrandize themselves by the confusions of their country, or will flatter themselves with fairer prospects of elevation from the subdivision of the empire into several partial confederacies than from its union under one government." (p75/c1) "The Federal Constitution is now the subject of conversation from Newhampshire to Georgia. In some places there are persons who appear to be raving mad, both for and against the plan. It is but reasonable to observe, that if ever there was occasion for a people to deliberate with calmness, on as important a measure, as ever did, or ever will come under their consideration, now is the time. The federal system ought to have a fair examination—it is a plan of government not for one particular state, but for all the states—we therefore should not approve or disapprove of the measure, until we have given it a most thorough and impartial examination...." (p76/c1-2) "We wish not to prejudice our readers either one way or the other by our publications—we wish them to judge for themselves—it will therefore be needless for us to republish the flighty rhapsodies for, and the ill natured anathemas against, the federal constitution, which have appeared in some newspapers. We mean to give them facts, and to extract from other periodical publications such observations only, as are made by gentlemen who are known to be fully acquainted with the subject—we think it our duty to lay before our readers Mr. Gerry's letter, addressed to the Hon. President of the Senate, and the Hon. Speaker of the House of Representatives of this Commonwealth, together with Mr. Wilson's address to the citizens of Philadelphia. These gentlemen were both members of the Federal Convention, Mr. Gerry from this State, and Mr. Wilson from Pennsylvania. Mr. Gerry appears to be opposed to the plan, and Mr. Wilson is in favor of it—they both candidly give their opinions, and the reasons on which their opinions are grounded...." (p76/c2) Second Week of November 1787 Elbridge Gerry to Samuel Adams, President of the Senate, and James Warren, Speaker of the House of Representatives of Massachusetts, October 18, 1787. "I have the honour to inclose, pursuant to my commission, the constitution proposed by the Federal Convention. "To this system I gave my dissent, and shall submit my objections to the honourable Legislature. "It was painful for me, on a subject of such national importance, to differ from the respectable members who signed the constitution: but conceiving as I did, that the liberties of America were not secured by the system, it was my duty to oppose it. "My principal objections to the plan, are, that there is no adequate provision for a representation of the people—that they have no security for the right of election—that some of the powers of the Legislature are ambiguous, and others indefinite and dangerous—that the Executive is blended with and will have an undue influence over the Legislature—that the judicial department will be oppressive—that treaties of the highest importance may be formed by the President with the advice of two thirds of a quorum of the Senate—and that the system is without the security of a bill of rights. These are objections which are not local, but apply equally to all the States." (p79/c1-2) Speech of James Wilson at the State House in Philadelphia "It will be proper however, before I enter into the refutation of the charges that are alledged, to mark the leading discrimination between the state constitutions, and the constitution of the United States. When the people established the powers of legislation under their separate governments, they invested their representatives with every right and authority which they did not in explicit terms reserve: and therefore upon every question, respecting the jurisdiction of the house of assembly, if the frame of government is silent, the jurisdiction is efficient and complete. But in delegating federal powers, another criterion was necessarily introduced, and the congressional authority is to be collected, not from tacit implication, but from the positive grant expressed in the instrument of union. Hence it is evident, that in the former case everything which is not reserved is given, but in the latter the reverse of the proposition prevails, and every thing which is not given, is reserved. This distinction being recognized, will furnish an answer to those who think the omission of a bill of rights, a defect in the proposed constitution...." (p81/c1) "This constitution, it has been further argued, is of pernicious tendency, because it tolerates a standing army in the time of peace.—This has always been a topic of popular declamation; and yet, I do not know a nation in the world, which has not found it necessary and useful to maintain the appearance of strength in a season of the most profound tranquility.... But what would be our national situation were it otherwise? Every principle of policy must be subverted, and the government must declare war, before they are prepared to carry it on.... no man, who regards the dignity and safety of his country, can deny the necessity of a military force, under the control and with the restrictions which the new constitution provides." (p82/c1-2) "The power of direct taxation has likewise been treated as an improper delegation to the federal government; but when we consider it as the duty of that body to provide for the national safety, to support the dignity of the union, and to discharge the debts contracted upon the collective faith of the states for their common benefit, it must be acknowledged, that those upon whom such important obligations are imposed, ought in justice and in policy to possess every means requisite for a faithful performance of their trust." (p83/c2) "After all, my fellow citizens, it is neither extraordinary or unexpected, that the constitution offered to your consideration, should meet with opposition. It is the nature of man to pursue his own interest, in preference to the public good; and I do not mean to make any personal reflection, when I add, that it is the interest of a very numerous, powerful, and respectable body to counteract and destroy the excellent work produced by the late Convention.... I will confess, indeed, that I am not a blind admirer of this plan of government, and that there are some parts of it, which if my wish had prevailed, would certainly have been altered. But, when I reflect how widely men differ in their opinions, and that every man (and the observation applies likewise to every State) has an equal pretention to assert his own, I am satisfied that any thing nearer to perfection could not have been accomplished.... Regarding it then, in every point of view, with a candid and disinterested mind, I am bold to assert, that it is the best form of government which has ever been offered to the world." (p84/c1-2) Roger Sherman and Oliver Ellsworth to Governor Samuel Huntington of Connecticut regarding proposed Constitution, September 26, 1787. (p85/c1-2) Fourth Week of November 1787 "The town of Northampton, and the District of Easthampton, assembled together on Thursday last, in legal town meeting, and made choice of the Hon. Caleb Strong, Esq; and Mr. Benjamin Sheldon, to represent them in Convention for the purpose of ratifying the reported Federal Constitution.... "In conformity to a resolution of the General Court, passed the 25th of October last, we have delegated you to meet in State Convention, on the second Wednesday of January next, for the purpose of adopting or rejecting the reported Constitution for the United States of America." (p113/c1) First Week of December 1787 "The following ADDRESS of His Excellency BENJAMIN FRANKLIN, Esquire, to the President of the late CONTINENTAL CONVENTION, was delivered by him immediately before his signing the proposed Constitution for the United States." (inside front cover) "I confess that I do not entirely approve of this Constitution at present; but sir, I am not sure I shall never approve of it: For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which I once thought right, but found to be otherwise. It is therefore that the older I grow, the more apt I am to doubt my own judgment, and to pay more respect to the judgment of others." (inside front cover/c1) "I doubt too whether any other convention we can obtain, may be able to make a better Constitution. For when you assemble a number of men to have the advantage of their joint wisdom, you inevitably assemble with those men, all their prejudices, their passions, their errors of opinion, their local interests, and their selfish views. From such an assembly can a perfect production be expected? It therefore astonishes me, Sir, to find this system approaching so near to perfection as it does...." (inside front cover/c1-2) "Thus I consent, Sir, to this Constitution because I expect no better, and because I am not sure that it is not the best."

Title: The Blessed Damozel (Signed limited edition)
Author: Rossetti, Dante Gabriel; Charles Ricketts; Thomas B. Mosher
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Description: Maine: Thomas B. Mosher, 1901. First Variorum edition. Number 2 of 10 copies printed on vellum (this being No. 2) signed by Thomas Mosher, with designs by Charles Ricketts. Small quarto (5 3/4 x 5 1/4 inches; 146 x 134 mm.). [i-v, blank], vi, limitation, [inserted photogravure portrait], xiii, [i, blank], [1]- 32, [2], [4, blank] pp. The photogravure frontispiece is after the author's 1874 portrait of Alexa Wilding for Lord Mount-Temple. Publishers vellum over boards, spine lettered in gilt (gilt somewhat faded), remains of original tan silk ties. Spine a little discolored and with minimal loss to extreme top, otherwise a wonderful copy. The Arthur A Houghton copy with his bookplate on rear paste-down. The famous Pre-Raphaelite artist and poet Gabriel Charles Dante Rossetti's most-celebrated poem, The Blessed Damozel, was written when he was 19. It would remain a favorite subject-he continuously revised the poem up until his death and used the theme for his painting of the same name (1871-1878). Inspired in part by Edgar Allan Poe's poem The Raven, Rossetti inverted the story of a grieving lover and with the narrative unfolding from the perspective of the deceased damozel looking down at her lover from heaven. It was first published in the Pre-Raphaelite journal The Germ. The text is here printed as it first appeared in the February 1850 issue of The Germ with, neatly printed below, the variants present in the 1856 Oxford and Cambridge Magazine, the 1870 Poems, and the 1886 Collected Works. Bishop notes the decorative similarities between this edition and that of Hacon & Ricketts in 1900, including the "same alternating black and red Ricketts initials and text, the same red rules as the two-page openings of the book following the half-titles, and the same red Roman numerals of each stanza," although Mosher here opts for smaller type, a larger page, and different dingbats, with his printer's device prominently displayed on the title-leaf verso.

Title: Tales of Superstition and Chivalry
Author: Bannerman, Anne
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very Good +
Description: London: Printed for Vernor and Hood...by James Swan, 1802. First edition. Very Good +. Publisher's blue paper-covered boards with printed paper spine label. Joints beginning to split (still holding) and some wear to corners. Some minor toning but overall quite clean. A fresh, Very Good+ copy in the desirable original boards. Octavo. [8], 144 pp. Complete with the scarce frontispiece and three plates. The frontispiece, a full-length female nude illustrating the story "The Prophecy of Merlin," generated some scandal, causing it to be withdrawn from the volume at Anne Bannerman's request (though some copies, including this one, still retain the controversial plate). The poet Anne Bannerman (1765 - 1829) was a part of the Edinburgh literature circle that also included John Leyden, Thomas Campbell, and Dr. Robert Anderson, the latter of whom edited the Edinburgh Magazine. Anderson, an early supporter of Bannerman's work, published her writing in his periodical and praised her work to their literary contemporaries. Bannerman published only three books: Poems (1800), the present work, and an updated edition of her Poems that appeared by subscription in 1807 in an attempt to save her from poverty. Bannerman's first book of poems was well reviewed, earning admiration particularly for a series of odes, which "evok[ed] a sublime and visionary poetic identity" (ODNB); and for two series of sonnets, one original and one translated from Petrarch. Bannerman was strongly influenced by Scottish Gothic poet and dramatist Joanna Baillie (1762 - 1851), and applied Baillie's 1796 theory of dramatic composition to her own sonnet series; after publishing her Poems, Bannerman sent Baillie a presentation copy of the work. Published two years after her debut collection, Tales of Superstition and Chivalry frustrated and perplexed some critics, though Sir Walter Scott responded positively to the work. In fact, Bannerman was the only woman writer included by Scott in his Essay on Imitations of the Ancient Ballad (1830). Of her Tales of Superstition and Chivalry, Scott wrote, "They were perhaps too mystical and too abrupt; yet if it be the purpose of this kind of ballad poetry powerfully to excite the imagination, without pretending to satisfy it, few persons have succeeded better than this gifted lady, whose volume is peculiarly fit to be read in a lonely house by a decaying lamp." Despite a relatively small poetic output, Bannerman's enduring significance lies in the originality and chilling ambiance she brought to her Gothic ballads, her position among her contemporaries in Scottish poetry, and her innovative sonnets and odes.

Title: Combined Map Berkeley Highlands
Author: [California]. [Real Estate]
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: Berkeley: Meikle, Brock & Skidmore, 1913. Very good.. Folding map, approximately 18 x 26 inches. A couple of short separations at fold points. Contemporary manuscript docketing on blank verso. Light tanning. An early 20th-century cadastral map that shows block and lot numbers, property dimensions, railroads, partial land ownership, and more, in a new subdivision north of Berkeley, here called Berkeley Highlands and now known as Kensington. The depicted area is bounded generally by Arlington Road, Highland Avenue, Purdue Avenue, Beloit Avenue, and Yale Avenue, oriented with north to left. Land development companies had bought most of the Kensington area by 1911, when it was first surveyed. The area was named "Kensington" in 1911 by Robert Brousefield, a surveyor who had lived in the London borough of South Kensington at one time. The Berkeley Highlands, with most streets named for colleges and universities, was subdivided slightly later than Berkeley Park and Kensington Park. The map was produced for Meikle, Brock & Skidmore, the agents who developed this land in the East Bay Hills and then sold the lots. The map is also notable for its notation in the lower right corner of the “Private Estate of George Shima." Shima was a Japanese immigrant who became the first Japanese American millionaire (His assets were valued $ 18 million in 1920). At one point, he produced about 85% of the state's potato crop, which earned him the nickname, "The Potato King." His business success did not bring him respite from racism, however. In 1912, he moved to his new home in this Berkeley neighborhood, where he lived in regal fashion, employing a retinue of servants, and also purchased the adjoining lot and converted it into a garden adorned with rare shrubs and flowers imported from Europe and Asia. Despite being the subject of hundreds such newspaper headlines as "Yellow Peril in College Town", Shima became active in the community, donating $500 to the local YMCA, and gradually won over his neighbors. Still, the opposition he encountered led him that same year to become the first president of the Japanese Association of America and to unsuccessfully fight the passing of the California Alien Land Law of 1913 which was written to prevent Asians from owning land. Scarce, we locate copies at Berkeley and Yale.

The Lusatians or Sorbian people are a minority ethnic group originating from the northeastern portion of the Carpathian Mountains more than 1400 years ago and were part of the great Slav migration. Due to the shifting country borders in this part of central Europe, the Sorbians are centered in what is now the Lusatia portion of Germany, around the town of Bautzen, and close to the northern border of the Czech Republic. Their culture and language are closely related to the Czechs. The twelve scenes represented are title: 1) V Máji [In May], 2) O žních [The Harvest], 3) Rozsévač [Spreader or Sower], 4) V Blatech [In the Mud], 5) Dřevorubci [Woodcutters], 6) Pastýř [Sheperd], 7) Na Sv. Martina [On St. Martina], M8) Kopání Bramborů [Digging potatoes], 9) štědrovečerní noc [Christmas night], 10) Přástky [Extensions], 11) Posvícení [Dedicated], 12) Velikonoční Ráno [Easter morning].

Title: The Epic of the Wheat. THE PIT. A Story of Chicago
Author: Norris, Frank
Seller: Sumner & Stillman (United States)
Description: 1903. New York: Doubleday, Page & Co., 1903. Original red cloth decorated in gilt. First Edition, first printing (with the J.J. Little device and "First Edition" on the copyright page). This copy is in the first state, with integral title leaf. This was the second volume in Norris's planned trilogy on human suffering and sacrifice, "The Epic of the Wheat." THE OCTOPUS (1901) had described the struggle between wheat farmers and the railroad interests in California, and THE PIT then follows the same wheat through the manipulation of the commodity markets in Chicago. The third volume, which would have been titled THE WOLF, was going to follow the wheat to its destination, relieving a famine in Europe. However, Norris died in 1902 (after an appendix operation, at age 32), so the third volume was never written. This copy is in the standard bright red cloth binding (there were also "presentation copies" in grey paper boards), and is in fine, bright condition (signature erased from front endpaper). McElrath A7.1.a (binding B); Blanck 15038; a Johnson High Spot (though most would place THE OCTOPUS at least on a par with THE PIT).

This work, a collection of Goldsmith's essays, was first published in 1765, with two additional essays having been added in the 1766 second edition. In the Preface, Goldsmith's humour and mastery of the English language shine through, giving promise to what might be found in these Essays, regardless of his self-deprecating wit. This volume with the Ex-Libris of "R.H. Isham", quite possibly Lieutenant-Colonel Ralph Heyward Isham (1890-1955), who served in the British army during WWI.
