Description
Avignon: Chambeau, 1748. FIRST EDITION. Contemporary mottled calf (worming to rear board, extremities worn), spine and label gilt, edges sprinkled red. Reinaud bookplate on the front pastedown. In very good condition. First edition of this epicurean exposition of human virtues and aesthetics. Divided into three volumes, the text examines genius, poetry, happiness, chance, nobility, pleasure, tragedy, drama, memory, imagination, taste, and beauty. The author classifies these characteristics into personality types and occasionally mentions historical figures that fall into their categories. He also comments on the prevalence of virtues in geographical regions, of which France, naturally, produces the most agreeable humans. Caillet 3804; Barbier, Anonymes III: 1105.

Tachika Chikuson 田近竹邨 Chikuson Jihitsu Gachō 竹邨自筆画帳. N.p. Early 20th century. No colophon. Signed, with artist’s seal. Orihon folding album with fabric boards and gilt edges 24 x 18cm is housed in a modern brown chitsu with clasps 24.5 x 18.5cm. 12 monochrome and color paintings approx. 21.5 x 15.5cm depicting Chinese landscapes are painted on silk and laid down on metallic speckled boards. First and last paintings in the album include Japanese text. This early 20th century work explores the 12 months of the year through Chinese landscapes that depict the passing of the seasons. Chikuson (1863-1922) established painting academies in Japan and went on to teach within these schools. His work was exhibited multiple times at the Bunten exhibition (officially known as the Monbushō Bijutsu Tenrankai 文部省美術展覧会) sponsored by the Ministry of Education and he accumulated 5 awards from the exhibition over the years. Chikuson was a student of Tanomura Chokunyū 田能村直入 (1814-1907) who himself was a student of Chikuden. Chokunyū was a master of the Nanga 南画 school of painting, also known as Bunjinga 文人画, which focused primarily on Chinese landscapes. Boards show wear; very slight worming of some pages. Fine condition.

Lee and Shepard, 1891. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Full blue cloth with black & gilt lettering and decoration, blue clay-coated endpapers, illustrated with engravings throughout. Covers are clean & bright, top of spine is a little worn, one page gathering proud. Overall, an attractive copy. A fantastic concept: a bunch of 49ers who now live in New England decide (40 years later) to take a trip back to California. The trip would take over a month, and the book is a combination travelogue of these kind of rowdy guys, along with reminiscences of the Gold Rush days, including some documents of the time. Deserves to be in any collection of Californiana & Gold Rush history.

Description
London: R. Faulder, 1780. viii, [3], 10-101, [1 blank] pp, but lacking the half title. Disbound. Except as noted, Very Good. This is the second of six 1780 printings. Tickell excoriates "the most infamous, slavish, base, sordid, venal, mean, inconsistent, despicable parliament, that ever existed;" as well as "that administration which has robbed us of thirteen colonies, and plunged us in a shameful and calamitous war with the whole world." As Adams notes, the work "contains a number of references to the war in America," and criticism of British policies. Adams, American Controversy 80-83b. Sabin 95794.

An amusing advertisement for Toronto-based Dingman's Soap, it showed a cowering gentleman, fallen through and stuck into the seat of a chair, and an enraged housewife, holding part of a broken ruler, the latter presumably used to bash the hapless man. In the background, a startled clerk is peering at the scene.
