Author: Pseudo-CATO, Dionysius (c.3rd-4th centuries C.E.). CAXTON, William (ca. 1422-1492)
Seller: Liber Antiquus (United States)
Condition: Fine
Description: Westminster: William Caxton, after 23 December, 1483. FIRST EDITION. Hardcover. Fine. Bound in brown crushed morocco by Riviere and son, spine lettered in gilt, gilt edges. With 18 leaves in facsimile. Partly foliated in a contemporary hand (one tiny hole in penultimate leaf, washed and pressed, occasional small stain) Provenance: Henry Baker (contemporary signature on most lower margins) - "Richard" (contemporary inscription on giii) - Sir Joseph Whatley, KCH (1765-?1844; armorial bookplate and manuscript notes) - Bertram, 4th Earl of Ashburnham (1797-1878; his sale, Sotheby, Wilkinson & Hodge, 30 June 1897, lot 976; sold by Pickering to:) - Richard Bennett (1844-1900; pencil note) - [Phyllis Goodhart Gordan; by descent]. First edition, printed by England's first printer, William Caxton, of his own translation of Cato's Distichs, a popular 3rd c. collection of ethical proverbs and maxims intended to instill rules of honest living in accordance with good morals at all levels of society. The book features Caxton's remarkable prologue condemning the state of affairs in London, where "no one intends the common good, but only each man his own private profit." Caxton had printed three previous editions of an English verse translation (by Benedict Burgh) of the Distichs, but for the present edition, referred to as Cato IV, Caxton translated the work himself from a Latin original with a French prose version and commentary. Little is known of William Caxton's early life; the first record of him is in 1438 when he is listed as an apprentice in the Mercers' Company. He became involved in foreign trade, and by 1465 he was head of the English merchant fraternity in Bruges. He moved to Cologne in 1471 to acquire a press and learn the printing business. In Cologne, Caxton completed his translation of "History of Troy" before returning to Bruges, where he set up his press and printed "Troy", the first book printed in English. About 1476 Caxton returned to England and set up his press at Westminster Abbey at the sign of the Red Pale. Caxton began his translation of Cato's "Distichs" shortly after completing the "Golden Legend" in November 1483, and finished it on December 23. This book was probably printed in February 1484, between "Knight of the Tower" and "Aesop". "The last quire of this Cato IV contains the printed paragraph marks which were ordered for use in Aesop . . . so it seems that both these books were printed concurrently, and finished just at the moment when the new type material became available." (Painter, "Caxton: A Biography" 139) Caxton's Cato: The literature of edifying proverbs and "sententiae" enjoyed enormous success during the early Middle Ages. The "Distichs of Cato" were a particularly successful example of this genre, being read widely from the Carolingian period up to the 16th century. The book's misattributed to the great Roman statesman Cato the Elder (the book is now believed to be a late antique work by a Dionysius Cato) gave the book the weight of authority. From the 12th century onward, the readership broadened and it began to be used outside of the "collective" settings of the schools and universities, as edifying reading for private, personal contemplation. Caxton dedicated his translation to the City of London, writing "I William Caxton, citizen of London... owe of right my service and good will, and, of very duty, am bound naturally to assist, aid, and counsel [London and its citizens], as far forth as I can to my power, as to my mother, of whom I have received my nurture and living. And shall pray for the good prosperity and policy of the same during my life." Caxton believed that the moral and ethical instruction found in the book would be of great help to the citizens of London, a city in decline, where every man was concerned "with his singular profit" rather than the good of the "common weal". He considered the lessons of the Distichs especially important for children, calling it "the best book to be taught to young children in school." Caxton observed that by the time the well-born youth of London, born with every advantage, became adults, the excellent qualities that they exhibited in their early years had evaporated. Fewer than two in ten go on to become successful, moral men: "And because I see that the children that be born within the said city increase and profit not like their fathers and elders, but for the most part after that they be come to their perfect years of discretion and ripeness of age, how well that their fathers have left to them great quantity of goods, yet scarcely two among ten thrive. And in this noble city of London it can scarcely continue unto the third heir, or scarcely to the second. I cannot judge the cause; but fairer, nor wiser, nor better bespoken children in their youth be nowhere than there be in London; but at their full ripening there is no kernel nor good corn found, but chaff for the most part." In 1483, London was in turmoil following the death of King Edward IV. Richard, Duke of Gloucester, was named Lord Protector for the 12-year-old Edward V. However, before the coronation, Edward was deemed illegitimate because his parents' marriage was declared bigamous. Richard claimed the throne and was crowned in June. The last recorded sighting of Edward V and his brother Richard (the Princes in the Tower) was shortly after Richard's coronation. In October, the Duke of Buckingham launched a revolt against King Richard with the aim of installing Henry Tudor as king. The rebellion failed, but less than two years later Tudor would defeat King Richard at Bosworth Field, ending the Plantagenet Dynasty, beginning the Tudor era, and setting the stage for the English Renaissance. The Distichs was the right text for these turbulent times, a text whose author "left so that all people might always learn from it how every person ought to rule and govern himself in this life, both in temporal matters and in spiritual life.".

Title: [BIBLE] The Old and New Testament, embellished with Engravings, from Pictures and Designs by the Most Eminent English Artists
Author: [Macklin Bible]
Seller: Tschanz Rare Books (United States)
Description: London: Thomas Bensley for Thomas Macklin, 1800. 7 volume set [48 cm] Contemporary calf with decorative gilt stamped borders to boards with raised and gilt bands to backstrips. All edges gilt. Marbled endsheets and pastedowns. Some minor wear to corners. Some foxing to the plates. A few small dampstains. Some wear to backstrips and boards. The Macklin Bible is the largest Bible printed on a letterpress. Published serially between 1791 and 1800 in London, this project was of one several ambitious projects that commissioned paintings of literary subjects, exhibited them at their premises, and sold engravings, and/or editions of the relevant text including the engravings, after the paintings by subscription. These 'literary galleries' sought to be both commercial printselling projects for the proprietors, and to foster British history painting, aligning with the ambitions of the Royal Academy to encourage a native school of painting in this genre. The foremost literary gallery was Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery, which operated between 1789 and 1805. In addition to its 70 full-page plates, the Bible includes head and tailpieces for each biblical book - 113 in total. All but two of the vignettes were designed by Philippe-Jacques de Loutherbourg, who also painted 16 pictures for the full-page plates. The full-page plates and headpiece and tailpiece vignettes were published by Macklin, and the text was printed for Macklin by Thomas Bensley. The type was cut by Joseph Jackson and Vincent Figgins, Jackon's apprentice. The paper was made by Whatman. The instructions to the binder recommended binding the set in six volumes, but this set, like many others, was bound in seven. Darlow & Moule 982. ESTC T123175. Herbert 1442.

Named cast includes Mirate as the Duke, Varesi as Rigoletto, Brambilla as Gilda, and Ponz as Sparafucile. Ricordi blindstamp to lower left corner without date. Some browning; minor to moderate foxing; tear to inner portion of pp. 165-66 and pp. 183-84; blindstamp partially trimmed. First Edition. One of two issues (the absence of a date on the Ricordi blindstamp may indicate a slightly later printing). Hopkinson 53A (variant). Fuld pp. 452-53. Crawford p. 605. Chusid p. 141 and pp. 686-87. Title page illustrated in Gatti: Immagini, 63. Rigoletto, in three acts to a libretto by Francesco Maria Piave after Victor Hugo's play Le roi s'amuse, was first performed in Venice at the Teatro La Fenice on 11 March 1851. "The première, with a cast that included Raffaele Mirate (Duke), Felice Varesi (Rigoletto) and Teresa Brambilla (Gilda), was an enormous success, and the opera, in spite of continuing problems with local censors, almost immediately became part of the basic repertory, being performed more than 250 times in its first ten years. Rigoletto has never lost this position and remains one of the most frequently performed operas in the international repertory. ... Rigoletto is almost always placed as the true beginning of Verdi's maturity, the essential dividing line between 'early' works and the succession of repertory pieces that will follow." Roger Parker in Grove Music Online.

Description: N.p. [St. Louis?]: [Mrs. J.D. Burton], 1912. First Edition. Very good. 16mo. 2 blank ff., 32 pp., 2 blank ff. With reproductions of 5 photographs in the text. Original red printed wrappers bearing title, stapled as issued. Minor wear along spine fold, at one time folded vertically in half. In excellent state. FASCINATING ACCOUNT OF THE LIFE OF AN AUCTIONEER, CONFIDENCE MAN, GRAFTER, AND MURDER, active in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The narrative gives the modern reader an insightful view into the ubiquity of "low-level" crime throughout the United States at that time, much of which was never reported to police, and was never recorded in contemporary newspaper accounts. James Hanahan (a.k.a. Hanehan or Henahan) was an Irish emigrant who killed two men in Tennessee and another in Kansas City. He changed his name to James D. Burton and went on the lam for 50 years. "Weary of constantly evading arrest and conscience-stricken in his old age," he made a full confession of his crimes to an editor at the Sunday Post-Dispatch Magazine. He is described as "a little old man, modest, soft-spoken, almost shrinking in his demeanor." Much of the text is written in the first-person, interspersed with media reports about Hanehan's crimes. He gives accounts of his flights from justice, which took him variously to Chicago, Detroit, Kansas City, St. Louis, Milwaukee, Texas, and Oklahoma. Mostly he is involved with grafting under the noses of the local police, whom he paid for protection, and he does not hesitate to identify these individuals and his many accomplices. Hanehan was in and out of jail for half a century, but was never identify as the bespoke murderer, despite his picture appearing regularly in rogues galleries. At the end of the text is an affidavit which states that Hanehan will not be tried for the murders he committed 50 years hence. We have seen mention of an edition published in the same year in Chicago by Lindon Bros. This name appears nowhere on our pamphlet, and if the two editions are indeed discrete their priority has never been explained. However, on the inside of the front wrapper is the copyright statement "Entered according to act of Congress in the year 1912, by Mrs. J.D. Burton" (sic!) Scarce.

Description: [Los Angeles]: N.P., 1927. Very good +. 8¾” x 5 ”. Single sheet broadside. Very good plus: one tiny pinhole, else fresh, with contemporary amendment to admission price in pencil. This is an unrecorded handbill for a “frolic” that took place in Los Angeles' historic Central Avenue district, once considered the “Harlem of the West.” We found references to this event in the African American California Eagle newspaper which mentioned that “A number of charming and beautiful Los Angeles coeds are busily rushing around . . . making plans and preparing for the much talked about Hi-Jinks' Frolic.” The paper assured that “many out-oftown visitors have motored to our fair city to attend this affair” and promised “pretty ladies and music that you can't resist.” This joyful flyer shows a penciled correction to the admission price (down from 50 cents to a bargain 35), advertises “Music by the Famous Masked Mystery Orchestra” and invites attendees to “Come Masked or Unmasked.” It reads,“Oh, Boy! It Will Be Great!” and we believe it likely was. We locate no evidence of this handbill in OCLC or online.

ISBN-13: 9781616190330; ISBN-10: 1616190337. Paperback. Five untrimmed pages. Else fine. $23.95 * A title in The Lawbook Exchange series, Foundations of the Laws of War. Originally published three years before the withdrawal of U.S. troops in 1973, this important book is not a polemic, but a sober account of the Vietnam conflict from the perspective of international law. Framed in reference to the Nuremberg Trials that followed the Second World War, it describes problems the United States may have to face due to its involvement in the Vietnam conflict. After presenting a general history of war crimes and an account of the Nuremberg Trials, Taylor turns his attention to Vietnam. He also examines parallels between actions committed by American troops during the then-recent My Lai Massacre of 1968 and Hitler's SS in Nazi-occupied Europe. Telford Taylor [1908-1998] was chief counsel for the prosecution at the Nuremberg Trials. Later Professor of Law at Columbia University, he was a vigorous opponent of Senator Joseph McCarthy and an outspoken critic of U.S. actions during the Vietnam War. His books include Sword and Swastika: Generals and Nazis in the Third Reich (1952), Grand Inquest: The Story of Congressional Investigations (1955) and The Anatomy of the Nuremberg Trials: A Personal Memoir (1992).
