Title: DEMOCRACY. An American Novel
Author: [Adams, Henry]
Seller: Sumner & Stillman (United States)
Description: 1880. New York: Henry Holt and Company, 1880. 8 pp undated ads (plus endpaper ads, the front one dated March 31, 1880). Original cream cloth decorated in black. First Edition of this anonymously-published novel, a cutting satire of Washington politics; Adams's authorship was not acknowledged until after his death in 1918. It is about Washington power, its use and abuse. It involves a woman who goes to Washington so that she can be near the hub of all political power, and her "salon" becomes the hub itself; a particularly apt quote is "Is a respectable government impossible in a democracy?". Characters include a Senator Clinton from New York, as well as a Mr. Gore. This copy is in Blanck's state "A", bound in cream-colored linen, with signature mark "F" present on p. 65, and with the endpapers dated March 31, 1880 (the book was first published just that week). Blanck lists seven states -- A through E in white linen and numbered #112 in the Leisure Hour Series, F and G in mustard yellow cloth and corrected to #111. (Blanck gives precedence to this state "A," but then says "The sequence of forms B-G has not been determined and the order as given is all but wholly arbitrary" -- though cream-colored cloth was certainly the earlier binding.) Condition is near-fine, with very little of the usual cover soil, very little of the usual spine-end wear, and very little of the usual bubbling of the cloth; there is a small bit of adhesive near the gutter of the title leaf. Blanck 11. Provenance: the title page bears the early signature of Ogden H[offman]. Fethers (1845-1911), an attorney in Janesville Wisconsin who would become a regent of the University of Wisconsin and, as supreme chancellor of the Knights of Pythias, was one of the authors of the Pythian Service Book (Nashville 1906).

Title: L’Appollo favorevole, tragicomedia politica, di Iacomo Turamini dedicata al Clariss. Sig. Giovanni Badoaro. Nelle felicissime Nozze della Clariss. Sig. Maria Contarini
Author: TURAMINI, Giacomo (b. 1574)
Seller: Govi Rare Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Good-
Description: A URBAN TRAGICOMEDY FOR THE WEDDING BADOER-CONTARINI 12mo (134x73 mm). 65, [1] leaves. Collation: A-E12 F6. The last leaf is a blank. Printer's device on title page. Roman and italic types. Woodcut decorative ornaments and initials. Later flexible vellum. On the last leaf verso manuscript dedication "Alla Serenis.ma Sig.ra Palazzina Anconitana" signed with the letter "G" and followed by the drawing of a heart within a square. Some light marginal staining. Rare first edition of this tragicomedy in five acts in verse dedicated to Giovanni Badoer on the occasion of his wedding with Maria Contarini. In the dedication, dated Venice, 20 September 1597, the author states that with this play he introduced something new into drama by bringing love stories far away from woods and rivers (i.e., pastoral and piscatorial dramas) and setting them for the first time in a urban landscape (Rome is the scene): "nel prendere argomento io della mia favola, Cittadino, & nell'introdurre Città, e Cittadini, forsi non ho fatto male" (l. A3v) (cf. L. Riccò, Minotauri, centauri, ermfroditi: misti e mostri teatrali italiani, in: "Norme per lo spettacolo, norme per lo spettatore: teoria e prassi del teatro intorno all' 'Arte Nuevo' ", G. Poggi & M.G. Profeti, Florence, 2011, p. 89). "Due secoli più tardi per condizione dei personaggi, non principi, non gente d'altissimo affare, ma semplici borghesi, il dramma del Turamini si sarebbe chiamato tragedia urbana" (E. Bertana, La tragedia, Milan, a. 1905, pp. 210-212). Born in Siena to a wealthy family, Bernardino Turamini decided to take the vows as an observant minor and to change his name to Giacomo. After the conversion his literary activity focused exclusively on religious themes. He later moved to Rome, where he entered the circle of the Barberini family and printed a series of sacred dramas based on the life of saints and biblical heroines.

Title: To the President, Senate and House of Representatives of the United States...Terminate the Treaty of Extradition...
Author: Society for the Abrogation of the Russian Extradition Treaty
Seller: ZH BOOKS (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: New York: By the authors, 1893. Very good. Broadside, n. d. (1893); 14 x 8 1/2; text and a table to recto, printed in black; several fold lines, else minor wear; in very good condition.In February of 1893, the US Senate would ratify a controversial agreement, the first ever extradition treaty between the two countries, which initially was proposed by Emperor of Russia Alexander III in 1886 and which would be quite-unfavorably received by many Americans, who feared it would affect political exiles, who had sought refuge in the United States. The treaty indeed included a political offense clause, but it also stipulated an exception for individuals that took “an attempt against the life of the head of either Government . . ." Nowadays, the validity of the agreement has created two camps - on the one hand, those arguing that the treaty specified "it shall remain in force for six months after notice of its termination shall have been given by either of the contracting parties" and since such notice has never been formally recorded - it is still valid; on the other hand, others speculating that with the multiple changes in government, the treaty became invalid after the October Revolution in 1917.The broadside, published by the Society for the Abrogation of the Russian Extradition Treaty, featured a very-large table with columns for names and addresses (unused) and stated: "To the President, Senate and House of Representatives of the United States: We, the undersigned, citizens of the United States, respectfully petition you to give notice to His Majesty, the Emperor of all the Russias, that the United States of America desire to terminate the Treaty of Extradition recently made with him...[When signed please return to Society for the Abrogation of the Russian Extradition Treaty, 100 Broadway, New York City.]" Not in OCLC, not in the trade (as of January 2022).
