Biblioctopus (United States)
Description
New York: printed by Hopkins and Seymour, 1806. First Edition. Jefferson’s earliest report on the Lewis and Clark (and Sibley–Dunbar) expeditions. The first official publication to provide any detailed account of Lewis and Clark, and the first work to give any satisfactory account of the Southwestern portion of the Louisiana Purchase. It is also the first account of Texas in book form. Original self–wrappers, a few curls to edges but a fine copy, rare for this fragile item. The full account of Lewis and Clark was not until 1814 (PMM 272). There are 2 imprints for this item, Washington D. C. and New York. For some time, it was believed that Washington was a day or 2 earlier but recent analysis places the 2 imprints simultaneous, and the New York imprint is many times scarcer. 8vo (8 3/4 X 5 1/2 inches). 128pp. Folding table facing p. 24. Uncut. Stitched self-wrappers, brown morocco backed case. Ref: Graff 4407; Howes L319, “b”; Sabin 40824; Shaw & Shoemaker 11632; Streeter Texas 1038 Wagner–Camp 5:3; Literature of the Lewis and Clark Expedition 2b.4; Field 925. An essential Lewis and Clark and southwestern exploration piece. Thomas Jefferson’s report on the Lewis and Clark and Sibley-Dunbar expeditions: the first official publication to provide any detailed account of the Lewis and Clark expedition, the first work to give any satisfactory account of the southwestern portion of the Louisiana Purchase, and “the first account of Texas in book form” (Streeter). The scarce New York printing of the first official publication to provide any detailed account of the Lewis and Clark expedition, and the first work to give any satisfactory account of the southwestern portion of the Louisiana Purchase. The first section consists of material transmitted to Jefferson by Lewis, giving information on their route, the Indians, trade, animals encountered, and the geography. Equally important are the accounts of the southern explorations, which include two letters by Dr. Sibley, one on the Indian tribes of Texas and the other an account of the Red River and the adjacent country. Sibley gives a careful account of the language, characteristics, location, and population of the various Indian tribes in Texas, with some account of their relations with the Spanish and French. The description of Red River gives a good idea of the physical characteristics of the country. Streeter called this the first account of Texas in book form. Jefferson’s report to Congress on the various western exploring expeditions he had dispatched to investigate Louisiana Territory was the most accurate and complete account of the area to appear until the official publications of Pike (1810) and Lewis and Clark (1814). It was widely cribbed by a press eager for information on the vast new lands. The report was published first in Washington, and this rarer New York edition appeared shortly thereafter. According to a Sotheby’s description on RBH, it was simultaneous. In their description it was noted that Washington was printed a couple days before. At the fair they mentioned it was simultaneous, but one bibliography said NY was a couple days later. .

Biblioctopus (United States)
Description
Berlin: Verlag die Schmiede, 1924. First Edition. (in German) The last collection of short stories to be finished before Kafka’s death, though it was published posthumously. Original green cloth (it was also published in paper boards), spine and extremities faded, front hinge starting, but holding strong, near fine. The title story was published 2 years earlier in Die Neue Rundschau magazine, the other three appeared for the first time in this book. The four stories comprising Kafka's final collection, "Ein Hungerkünstler," are a culmination of his literary preoccupations with artistic alienation and the futility of human endeavor. Reading these stories it is easy to see how they form a cohesive thematic quartet despite their disparate subjects, each examining the relationship between the exceptional individual and an indifferent community. In "Josefine, die Sängerin oder Das Volk der Mäuse," perhaps the most enigmatic of the four tales, Kafka constructs a complex allegory of artistic exceptionalism through the figure of Josephine, a mouse whose singing—which the narrator suggests may be nothing more than ordinary squeaking—commands unusual attention from her mouse community. The narrative's persistent ambiguity regarding the actual quality of Josephine's art creates a tension between the performer's self-perception and the community's response, foregrounding questions about the social function of art. Unlike the hunger artist whose talent is measurable (through his capacity to endure prolonged fasting), Josephine's artistry remains fundamentally unverifiable, existing primarily through collective acknowledgment rather than objective criteria. This unstable ontological status of the artistic performance destabilizes conventional hierarchies between artist and audience, suggesting that artistic value emerges not from inherent qualities but from the complex social negotiations between performer and community. The story's final movement, documenting Josephine's disappearance and rapid forgetting by her community, offers Kafka's most poignant commentary on artistic legacy—the once-celebrated performer vanishes "like a legend dissolving into the ordinary," leaving no trace of her supposedly transformative art.

Description
London: [Printed at the Ballantyne Press for] Reeves & Turner, 1892. Third Edition with the Notes of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley. 188 x 122 mm. (7 3/8 x 4 3/4"). Two volumes. Edited by H. Buxton Forman. PARTICULARLY FINE RED CRUSHED MOROCCO, GILT AND ONLAID, BY SANGORSKI & SUTCLIFFE (stamp-signed on front turn-in), covers framed by multiple plain and decorative rolls, cornerpieces with the gilt torch of liberty extending obliquely from an onlaid green morocco heart bracketed by volutes, front boards with central onlaid citron morocco medallion stamped with the poet's gilt monogram, rear boards with onlaid citron morocco pansy surrounded by a gilt collar with the quote "Pansies let my flowers be" (from "Remembrance"); raised bands, spine compartments with onlaid green morocco quatrefoil at center, volutes at corners, volume I with FRONT DOUBLURE OF BROWN MOROCCO semé with rows of alternating quatrefoils and dots, at center A MINIATURE PORTRAIT OF SHELLEY UNDER GLASS framed by a laurel wreath inlaid with four red morocco cinquefoils, navy blue moiré silk endleaves, all edges gilt and delicately gauffered. Housed together in a fleece-lined red cloth drop-back box. Frontispiece in each volume, vignette title pages. Front flyleaves with engraved bookplates of Edward Laurence Doheny and Carrie Estelle Doheny. A FLAWLESS AND SPARKLING SET. This is the outstanding Doheny copy, in lovely bindings, of a body of literature graced with a lyricism Day asserts is "unmatched elsewhere in English verse in its ethereal, ideal beauty." While the notes of Shelley's wife, appended here, have aroused considerable denigration (she is accused, among other things, of making her husband's verse less political than it actually was), her editorial work is nevertheless professional and has remained an essential source for the study of Shelley's work. As Betty T. Bennett explains, "biographers and critics agree that Mary Shelley's commitment to bring [her husband] the notice she believed his works merited was the single, major force that established Shelley's reputation during a period when he almost certainly would have faded from public view." Thanks to her efforts, Shelley (1792-1822) is one of the best-known English poets and an icon of the Romantic movement. According to DNB, our editor, Henry (Harry) Buxton Forman (1842–1917) "channelled a general enthusiasm into a minute study of textual details, for which his careful and exacting temperament was ideally suited. His patient application produced impressive editions of Shelley," who was, along with Keats, Forman's main literary interest. After studying under and then working for Douglas Cockerell, Francis Sangorski and George Sutcliffe founded their own bindery in 1901 and continued in a successful partnership until 1912, when Francis tragically drowned. Despite this loss, the firm grew and prospered, employing a staff of 80 by the mid-1920s and becoming perhaps the most successful English bindery of the 20th century. The "Cosway" binding, with painted miniatures inlaid in handsome morocco, apparently originated with the London bookselling firm of Henry Sotheran about 1909, the year G. C. Williamson's book entitled "Richard Cosway" was remaindered by Sotheran and presumably given this special decorative treatment. The name "Cosway"--referring to the British miniature painter, Richard Cosway (1742-1821)--was then used to describe any book so treated, whoever its author. This set was bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe for book dealer J. W. Robinson of Los Angeles, who supplied many books for the superb collection of Estelle Doheny (1875-1958), one of the most distinguished women book collectors of the 20th century, whose magnificent library was especially rich in fine bindings. Volumes from her collection are sought after for their especially fine condition..

Paris: Caractères de Henri Didot, An XI - 1802. Translated by Claude-Ignace Brugière de Barante. 340 x 240 mm. (13 1/2 x 9 1/2"). 4 p.l., 176 pp. SPLENDID LATE 19TH CENTURY RED MOROCCO BY R. PETIT (stamp-signed on front turn-ins), LAVISHLY GILT À LA FANFARE BY J. LE COMTE (stamp-signed on rear turn-in), covers with animated design of lobed geometric compartments formed and connected by strapwork, the large rectangular centerpiece blank, the other compartments containing various tools, among them a flower basket, torch and fasces, fleuron, or filigree ornament, the spaces between the compartments filled with flowering vines and curling tendrils, the whole enclosed by gilt fillets and a tulip roll, raised bands, spine compartments with torch tool at center and spiraling tendrils at corners, gilt lettering, richly gilt turn-ins, blue-green watered silk pastedowns and endleaves, leather hinges, all edges marbled and gilt. Housed in an excellent felt-lined modern maroon morocco buckram clamshell box. WITH 33 ENGRAVINGS, consisting of frontispiece and 32 numbered plates, of designs AFTER RAPHAEL. A Large Paper Copy. Verso of front free endleaf with two engraved armorial bookplates, one belonging to Anthony J. Cefaratti. A breath of rubbing to extremities, minor foxing throughout due to acidic paper (a little more noticeable on the plates) otherwise A FINE COPY, the leaves fresh and bright with generous margins, IN A SPARKLING, UNWORN BINDING. Sumptuously bound, attractively illustrated, with generous folio-sized proportions and wide margins, this is an especially pleasing copy of an ancient love story. Taken from "The Golden Ass," the major work by second century Roman writer and orator Lucius Apuleius, "Cupid and Psyche" is the tale of the obstacles faced by the god of love and his mortal wife. It is presented here in the original Latin as well as in French translation by Claude-Ignace Brugière de Barante (1745-1814), with an introduction by François Henri Stanislas de l'Aulnaye (1739-1830). It is accompanied by a lovely suite of illustrations after paintings by Raphael, reinterpreted by Frédéric Dubois (fl. ca. 1780–1819) and Pierre-Antoine Marchais (1763-1859) under the direction of Anne-Louis Girodet-Trioson (1767–1824) into almost modernist line engravings which nevertheless retain the softness of Raphael's originals. Our copy is distinguished by its ravishing fanfare-style binding. Executed by two of the lesser-known artisans working in Paris at the end of the 19th century, it proves that fame was not required to achieve the highest level of binding quality. Flety finds a number of binders named Petit working in Paris at the time; our R. Petit is most likely Rémy Petit, who had a rue Saint-Thomas-d'Aquin workshop which Flety tells us was operational through 1900. Our gilder Le Comte was likely the artisan of that name who was active on rue de Bourgogne in the third quarter of the 19th century. It was not uncommon for binders in Belle Epoque Paris to outsource the gilt decoration on their bindings to an expert doreur, especially when the design was as complex as what dazzles us here. Former owner Anthony J. Cefaratti (1918-2013) was a captain in the U.S. Army in World War II, and became a foreign service officer in the 1950s..

A late comer to the debating societies of Yale College, the Calliopean Society was incorporated in 1819 by a group from the Linonia Society dissatisfied with the leadership of oldest society on the campus.  This society named after the muse of poetry Calliope included in its ranks many students from the Southern states and created a strong voice for antebellum issues in a stronghold of abolitionism.  As a result it was disbanded in 1853 and only resurrected one hundred years later in the mid-1950's as an active more conservative union with little interest in New Deal and Great Society policy.  The main headings of the catalogue include Biography, Divinity, Encyclopedias, History, Mental and Moral Philosophy, Novels and Romances, Natural Science, Poetry and Plays, Politics and Law, Rhetoric, Voyages and Travels, and Books in Foreign Language.
