Description
1869. [WOOLSEY, Edward J.] Specimens of fancy turning: executed on the hand or foot lathe: with geometric, oval, and eccentric chucks, and elliptical cutting frame. [2], 2 pp. and 30 unnumbered leaves of plates. 4to, 220 x 180 mm, publisher's green cloth. Philadelphia: Henry Carey Baird, 1869. A fine copy of this wonderful example of the use of photography in America in the nineteenth century. In the preface Woolsey states that he made these images. Inspired by "an amateur friend", whose "exquisite productions" were too delicate to be successfully photographed, these "coarser" designs were produced by first applying India ink to an enameled card with a "flat camel's hair brush". The card was then fastened to the face of a chuck with tacks or mucilage, whereby a spring tool "cut through the blackened surface of the card, exposing to view the white paper". The cards were subsequently photographed. "They lack, however, the depth of black background, which cannot be equaled by the solutions of silver employed by the photographer." A fine copy of this rare book.

Description
1677. First Edition. HATTON, Christopher. A Treatise Concerning Statutes, or Acts of Parliament: and the Exposition thereof. London: Richard Tonson, 1677. 16mo, 18th-century full speckled calf neatly rebacked, raised bands; pp. [16], 85, [3]. $1650.First edition of this legal treatise by Queen Elizabeth I’s Vice-Chamberlain and Lord Chancellor.Sir Christopher Hatton (c. 1540-1591) was Queen Elizabeth I's advisor and close confidante. Though Hatton held numerous official positions within Queen Elizabeth's government from Lord Chancellor to Vice-Chamberlain of the royal household, he was perhaps most notable as the man Elizabeth called her ""mouton."" In fact, while Mary, Queen of Scots, was among only a few to publicly make the allegation that Elizabeth had taken Hatton as her lover, many shared her opinion. Whatever the case, Hatton was highly influential during Elizabeth's reign and deftly carried out her instructions. He also participated in actions such as the trial of Babington and served on the commission that found Mary guilty of treason. ""Regarded as most likely to know Elizabeth's real mind, he was appointed lord chancellor in 1587, when any shortfall in legal training was outweighed by impartiality, common sense and Star Chamber experience; his moderate attitude that 'neither fire nor steel' should be used in settling religious matters helped maintain internal quiet"" (Oxford Companion to British History). Wing H1142. Sweet & Maxwell 21.I.8. Harvard Law Library, I:891. Occasional pencil marginalia.Text generally clean; early restoration to slightly rounded corners. A very good copy of this scarce treatise.

1872. ALGER, W.R. The Friendships of Women. Boston: Roberts Brothers, 1872. Comes in original green cloth binding. 416 pages. 7" x 5" inches. Alger was a Unitarian minister and author who weaves together historical examples and philosophical and sociological musings to analyze female social life in its various modes: platonic love, friendship of sisters, the father and daughter, etc. Alger's decision to look at women's social life as a subject of intellectual interest is peculiar for its time period, but stems from being "struck both by the small number of recorded examples of the sentiment among women... and by the commonness of the belief that strong natural obstacles make friendship comparatively feeble and rare." Alger even has a critique of sorts against a system of "prejudice in England and America against friendships between men and women" which has "operated considerably to lessen their frequency." Minor bumping on tail and headcap of spine, overall in very good condition,
