Title: Hand-corrected manuscript for Looking Forward
Author: ROOSEVELT Franklin D.
Seller: Bauman Rare Books (United States)
Description: 1933. Signed. ROOSEVELT, Franklin D. Hand-corrected manuscript for Looking Forward. No place,1933. 235 leaves measuring 8-1/2 by 11 inches, typing on recto, with corrections in Roosevelt's hand on 22 leaves, other corrections throughout in pencil. Housed in a large black ring binder with individual leaves placed back-to-back in mylar sleeves. Housed in a custom clamshell box. $28,000.Manuscript draft of Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1933 book Looking Forward, his clarion call for a new deal that was published in the month of his inauguration, with Roosevelt's handwritten corrections in ink on 22 pages.Published amidst the devastation of the Great Depression and in the same month as his inauguration, FDR's Looking Forward draws on major articles and speeches; it was an immediate best-seller. On publication the New York Times noted: ""As President Roosevelt takes up the task of translating into terms of action his conception of the 'new deal' there comes from the press this book in which he sets forth his convictions as to why a new deal is necessary."" Included are chapters on the reorganization of the government, taxation, agriculture, railroads, judicial reform and more. This extraordinary final draft, containing all but FDR's Inaugural Address (which had not been yet been delivered and was the last thing added to the book; it is present here in a photoreproduction of the manuscript for those pages), has additions, corrections and emendations by Roosevelt himself in ink on 22 pages, and numerous other pencil corrections and additions in an unknown hand. The lengthiest addition is found at the top of the first page of text, in which Roosevelt has added: ""This is essentially a compilation from many articles written and speeches made prior to March 1, 1933. I have added parts which bind the material together as a whole."" At the end of the introduction, he also strikes through ""The White House,"" replacing it with ""Hyde Park, March 1st 1933""three days before his first Inauguration.Roosevelt's marks in the manuscript, by leaf number:5: Added to the top ""This is essentially a compilation from many articles written and speeches made prior to March 1, 1933.

Title: Complete Set of Macmillan's Limited Editions of Yeats' Works, each volume signed by Yeats
Author: Yeats, W.B.
Seller: John Windle Antiquarian Bookseller (United States)
Description: 1924. New York: Macmillan, 1924-1927. 6 vols, 8vo. Each vol. bound in the original quarter robin's egg cloth over paper covered boards with printed labels, pastedowns with Charles Ricketts' illustration of hawk, unicorn, fountain and moon. Very good copies with almost no foxing and just occasional browning of endpapers, backstrips and backstrip labels expertly restored. Gift inscription in Early Poems presenting the set to a Vassar graduate of 1946. § A complete set of Macmillan's limited editions of Yeats' works; each volume one of 250 copies signed by Yeats. The series, along with a trade edition, was published in New York between 1924 and 1927; Macmillan published the series in London also but only in a trade edition, there was no signed limited edition. The first volume was published the year after Yeats won the Nobel Prize for Literature. This well matched set has been together since at least 1946 when it was presented to Celia Thompson on her graduation from Vassar College by her family "with our love and our congratulations and our relief!" To find the six volumes together like this is almost unheard of. The titles are: Later Poems (1924), No. 71 of 250, Wade 135. (Label on upper board with slight abrasion.) Plays In Prose And Verse Written for an Irish Theatre, and Generally with the Help of a Friend (1924), No. 137 of 250, Wade 137. Plays and Controversies, (1924), No. 33 of 250, Wade 140. (Frontispiece and seven illustrations.) Essays (1924), No. 212 of 250, Wade 142. Early Poems and Stories (1925), No. 51 of 250, Wade 148. Autobiographies: Reveries over Childhood and Youth and The Trembling of the Vale (1927), No. 156 of 250, Wade 152. (Frontispiece and four plates.).

Title: PIONEERING HYDROTHERAPY
Quam salubria balnea sint: cum ad sanitatem tuendam, tum ad morbos curandos, dialogus adversus neotericos medicos. Rome: A. Bladus de Asula, 1535.
Author: BRANCALEONI, Giovanni Francesco
Seller: Martayan Lan, Inc. (United States)
Description: 4to. [20 x 14.4 cm], (30) ff. Woodcut printer's device on title, two woodcut initials. Bound in old stiff vellum stained green (rather spotted and abraded). Contemporary marginal annotations throughout, some possibly by Ottaviano Caligari (?). Scattered leaves lightly soiled, paper flaws in blank margins of ff. D, G, but generally very good. Rare first edition of this influential balneological treatise by one of the founding fathers of hydrotherapy. A modern interpretation of Galen, Avicenna and Hippocrates, Brancaleoni's work promoted the healthful and hygienic effects of bathing a generation earlier than Falloppio, and well in advance of the 19th-century pan-European trend for spa cures associated with Vincenz Priessnitz (1799-1851) and Father Sebastian Kneipp. While the identity of the early annotator of this copy has not been confirmed, the primary hand appears identical to the notes appearing in another medical text handled by our firm: Ferdinando Balami's translation of Galen's De ossibus, also published in Rome by Blado in 1535, and bound in an analogous green vellum binding, which bears the ownership inscription of the physician Ottaviano Caligari. OCLC lists two copies of the 1535 edition: Harvard and the Wellcome (this edition not in the NUC).*Wellcome 1037; Durling 669, 670 (1536 eds.); BMC (1536 ed.); Bibliotheca Palatina F2421; not in Osler, Duveen, Waller.

Title: A Journal of Civilization (Volume 9 January 7, 1865-December 30, 1865)
Author: Harper’s Weekly
Seller: Nicholas D. Riccio Rare Books & Prints (United States)
Description: Folio, cloth, profusely illustrated with wood engravings. Partially disbound, front cover and preliminary pages detached, spine is missing, first page of May 20, 1865 has tear in the middle of page, some aging, but internally clean. Harper's Weekly ran for 59 years (1857-1916). It featured illustrations from some of the most prominent artists of that time, including Thomas Nast, Winslow Homer, and Livingston Hopkins. The present volume is probably one of the most important of the series, since it covers the end of the Civil War and the Lincoln assassination. Coverage of the Lincoln assassination begins in the April 29th issue, which starts with an engraving of John Wilkes Booth on the front page. In the pages that follow, there are illustrations of the assassination and Booth fleeing. One of the illustrations in this issue is done by Thomas Nast. In the next issue (May 6, 1865) is a front page illustration, after a photograph by Mathew Brady, of Lincoln with his son. Extra postage required.
