Description
ca 1820. Late eighteenth century (laid paper), colored blue/green, textured paper wrappers. The stitching of the binding is a multi- colored thread strand.. Near fine; colors are bright and crisp, as is the decoration.. Three folio sheets of watermarked, laid paper (continental). Folded in half, nested, and bound (stitched, landscape format) into plain blue/green laid paper wrappers. The endpapers are milled paper of a later period that are original to the binding. The folded sheets make 6 leaves that are the manuscript (recto only). The leaf size is appx. 213 x 333 mm. An extraordinary manuscript attributed to C F Egelmann (1781-1860) PA school teacher and provincial engraver containing elaborate calligraphic filligree embellishments and ornaments executed in red, green, and blue with gold highlights. Written in German Gothic script the text is a fable of two children. It is set in the "Grafschaft" (county) of Norfolk in the UK. The father of children becomes ill and close to death, decides to present them, a boy and a girl, an inheritance impressing upon them their responsibilities to themselves and god for it all could be gone in a moment of neglect. Typical of such stories among the PA Germans there was always a practical, direct conclusion. The subject offers an eerie echo of a tragedy that befell the Herbach family children in 1820 in York County. The manuscript is most likely a product during his years teaching in Chester or Wernersville (where he had been engaged to teach German) near Reading. Egelmann's manuscript is modelled - in format and style - on continental German calligraphic sample manuals of an earlier generation. Raised in a family of privilege and education, both parents coming from titled families, he certainly would have been familiar with these elaborate writing manuals that circulated as advertisments for skilled scribes. The family originated in Holland where his grandfather had been sent as an ambassador for the English (the family had established itself in England during the Middle Ages; at that point the name was Eagleman). As a young man his father had been private secretary to the chamberlain of King George III in the Duchy of Linneburg. It was during his term of office there that Carl was born in 1781. His mother was Belgian and came from Flanders. At 17, Carl was engaged as secretary by the Chamberlain of England and shortly afterwards was made private secretary. All the time he was in the employ of the Chamberlain, Baron Dinklaga, he lived with the family of the baron at his residence, Schulenburg near Batburgen. During this time his father, and sister died, his mother having died when he was quite young. In 1802, together with an English relative, he emigrated to America. Given this background it is no wonder that the setting for the fable offered here was the UK. Though employed as a teacher by the Quakers in Chester and then moving to Wernersville, Egelmann began a career as an engraver and provincial publisher. He is best known for his book, Deutsche & Englische Vorschriften, first issued in 1821. That book contains clear duplicates of the design and ornament motifs of swirls and birds utilized in the manuscript offered here. See Arndt #2522; Yoder, Pennsylvania German Broadside.

Description
1865. City of London Truss Society. Archive of 65 documents, including autograph letters signed (mostly to John Colley Taunton [d. 1858]), printed reports and other ephemera. 1822-65. Some documents soiled or dampstained, a few with tears, but overall good to very good. Calendar of the archive included. The City of London Truss Society, a highly successful British charitable organization, began operating in 1807 and continued well into the twentieth century (Sir Geoffrey Keynes, the well-known surgeon and bibliographer, served on the Society's medical staff in the 1930s). A notice published in the Philosophical Magazine in 1813 describes the genesis of the Society: "From the great number of persons among the laboring poor who were afflicted with hernia, and for whose relief no adequate provision existed, on the 14th of October 1807 Dr. Squire, Dr. Herdman, John Taunton, the Rev. H. G. Watkins, James Horton, Michael Bartlett, Joseph Atkinson, John Middleton, John Gardner and John Whitford, met at the City Dispensary, and formed themselves into a Society 'for the relief of the ruptured poor throughout the Kingdom, the City of London Truss Society'" (Philosophical Magazine 43 [1813]: 316). John Taunton (1769-1821), surgeon to London's city dispensary, was appointed the Truss Society's first surgeon; after his death, his son John Colley Taunton took over the post, remaining there until his own death in 1858. By 1813 the Society was treating nearly 2000 patients annually; by Taunton's death in 1821 this number had increased to over 3500; and by the end of the nineteenth century the Society was employing three surgeons and seeing over 10,000 patients per year. The archive we are offering contains 65 documents, of which all but seven are handwritten. Of the 58 handwritten documents, the majority are letters to (and a few from) John Colley Taunton. The most notable correspondent represented here is physiologist and surgeon Benjamin Collins Brodie (1783-1862), whose letter to Taunton advises him on a urinary tract infection in a patient. Four of the letters are from surgeon William Kingdon (1789-1863); two of these recommend poor patients to the Society's care. 31 letters are from Samuel Cartwright (1789-1864), a dentist and one of the vice-presidents of the Truss Society; nearly all of his letters have to do with donations to the Society, and several include the exact amounts given. Another group of letters is from Mary Tanner, presumably a patient; two of these letters include prescription notes in what is presumably J. C. Taunton's hand. Also included in this archive are three of the Society's annual reports, for the years 1862-1864; a printed subscription card; and two printed invitations from the Society addressed to Walter K. Taunton. A complete calendar of the archive is included. Royal College of Surgeons, Plarr's Lives of the Fellows Online. .

New York: Pantheon Books, 1950. First Edition. 2 vols. First edition in English, first printing. Foreword by Carl G. Jung. Original cloth, near fine, in chipped and rubbed dustjackets, with a small repair to the spine of volume 1, worn slipcase. From many varieties, these jackets have rear flap ads reassuringly dated “1950” and married reprints don’t. The I Ching a masterpiece of Chinese Literature with all you can handle on multiple levels including a fortune telling game for the sleeping uninitiated and a stairway into the mind of Confucius for the conscious and awakened. The origins of I Ching were as a divination text from the 10th-4th century BC. This edition was originally translated into German by Wilhelm in 1924, then into English here by Baynes; considered the first accurate and culturally sympathetic translation. One of the oldest continuous philosophical and divinatory traditions, a text that bridges ancient Chinese cosmology with practical wisdom over the course of three millennia. As both an oracle and a philosophical treatise, it embodies the fundamental Chinese concept of change as the only constant in existence, offering a systematic approach to understanding the dynamic interplay between opposing forces (yin and yang) that govern all phenomena. Its influence extends far beyond divination into Chinese philosophy, literature, politics, and daily life, making it one of the most consulted books in human history and a cornerstone text for understanding Chinese thought, from Confucianism to Taoism.

Description
New York: [Printed from the type at the Press of A. Colish for] New Directions Books, 1979. No. 125 OF 200 COPIES. 228 x 152 mm. (9 x 6"). 4 p.l., 57, [1] pp., [1] leaf. Original quarter black cloth over marbled boards, smooth spine with gilt lettering. Housed in a tan paper slipcase (sunned, but in still in excellent condition). SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR on the limitation page. In near mint condition, with just a breath of rubbing to extremities. A copy from the library of two significant American poets, this is a pleasing edition of the work of arguably the most celebrated of the Beat writers. Political activist, popular writer, widely read poet, important publisher, and owner of San Francisco's City Lights Bookstore, Lawrence Ferlinghetti (1919-2021) was a central part of the Bay Area Beat scene. He published Allen Ginsberg's "Howl," and was subsequently arrested for doing so, before being acquitted in the famous 1957 obscenity trial. He found inspiration for his writing in a wide range of subjects, including politics, Classical literature, and jazz. "Landscapes of Living & Dying" includes verses ranging from the humorous ("San Jose Symphony Reception") to profound ("An Elegy to Dispel Gloom," written following the assassinations of George Moscone and Harvey Milk). This edition is one of several books printed for New Directions at the Press of A. Colish in the late 1970s. The press was founded by Abraham Colish (1882-1963), who had worked his way up from printer's devil at a Bridgeport, Connecticut, press to composing room foreman for the great Bruce Rogers, before opening his own fine printing workshop in New York City in 1907. His press did work for the Limited Editions Club from the 1930s through the 1980s and was employed by the Grolier Club, the Typophiles, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and others to produce fine press books. This volume comes from the library of Laure-Anne Bosselaar (b. 1943) and her husband Kurt Brown (1944-2013). Bosselaar is a Belgian-American poet, translator, and editor who has published numerous works of poetry in multiple languages, including five collections of her own works. She has received various prizes and recognitions (Pushcart, Isabella Gardner, Breadloaf) and was named Poet Laureate of Santa Barbara in 2019. Sometimes publishing jointly with Bosselaar, Brown was also a prolific poet and editor of anthologies, as well as the founder and first director of the Aspen Writer's Conference, playing a pivotal role in shaping its early vision and establishing Aspen as a literary center..
