Plates torn and a little rumpled, repairs on verso of cutlery plate, but negligible loss; scattered minor browning - still a very good copy of the second edition of Latini's rare cooking manual, a reprint of the 1692 first edition with just an updated title page (even the 1692 colophon remains).

Sections on carving, food management, and other general instructions round out the volume. The famous tomato recipes are for a sauce of roasted, skinned, tomato, chile pepper, thyme, onion, salt, oil, vinegar, and the other a stew (which, like cassoulet, takes it name, cassuola, from the dish it's cooked in) with chicken, veal and quail.

Description
1790. First Edition. NEWTON, John. The Christian Correspondent; or A Series of Religious Letters, Written by The Rev. John Newton… to Captain Alexr. Clunie, From the Year 1761, to the Death of the Latter in 1770. Hull: Printed by George Prince, 1790. Octavo, modern half olive cloth, black morocco spine labels. $1200.First edition of the collected 18th-century letters between John Newton, a slaveship master and born-again Christian, to Alexander Clunie, a fellow slaveship captain and Newton's Christian mentor.The Rev. John Newton was born into a sailing family. His father was a shipmaster in the Mediterranean. While Newton's mother raised him as a Christian, she died when he was just six years old. Newton spent a few years in boarding school before joining his father at sea. While Newton was slated to become a slave master at a Jamaican sugar plantation, he was forced into naval service. After attempting to desert and surviving a brutal court marshal, Newton went to work in the slave trade. While he found Christianity in 1748 after nearly dying in a storm at sea, he remained an active slave shipmaster. ""In the summer of 1750 Newton began another slaving expedition, this time as master of the Duke of Argyle… Throughout this voyage and the next, as master of the African, Newton felt no scruples about slave trading, seeing it as the work marked out for him by Providence, though he admits to his horror at slavery's brutal accoutrements and his prayer that in God's own time he would receive a more humane calling, one that would keep him in regular communion with other Christians, perhaps a reflection of his new friendship with Alexander Clunie, whom he met when the African called at St. Kitts. Clunie, a fellow ship master and believer, convinced Newton of the importance of the fellowship of believers and of his security in the covenant of grace. In 1790 their long-term friendship ultimately resulted in the publication of The Christian Correspondent, a collection of letters they exchanged over the years,"" mainly dealing with Christianity and family life (Encyclopedia of Christian Literature, 489). In the time between the writing and publication of these letters, a great deal changed in Newton's life. Following a series of strokes in 1854 that forced him to leave the seafaring life, Newton reconsidered his association with slavery. He acknowledged the damage that it wreaked on a person's humanity and began to view it as fundamentally opposed to Christian beliefs. In the final years of his life, he became an ardent abolitionist. He wrote extensively on the subject—as he had on all subjects throughout his life—and counted Wilberforce among his closest friends. ESTC T18631. Contemporary owner signature.Scattered soiling to interior, binding fine. A near-fine copy.

Description
[Mexico City, 1983. Lithographic poster, 22.25 x 13.75 inches, printed in black, white, and yellow. Light overall wear and dust soiling. Very good plus. Rolled. A rare poster advertising the "Great Gay March" in Mexico City on June 25, 1983. The march was organized by the Colectivo Sol de la RED LHOCA (Lesbianas, Homosexuales, Organizaciones y Colectivos Autonomos), an important LGBTQIA+ organization, part of whose name was a pun on the word "Loco." The poster features a few protesters carrying signs printed in a field of yellow and black, with relevant text about the march at top and bottom. The text at top translates roughly to "Great Gay March '83. Pride. Joy. Freedom. Join Us! Strengthen Yourself!" OCLC locates just a single institutional copy of this poster at Texas A&M University, whose catalogue note provides excellent background on the event: "The gathering place was the 'Monumento a los Niños Héroes' who fought American invaders in 1847, on the 'Plaza del Templo Mayor,' a temple destroyed by Spanish invaders when Mexico City was Aztec Tenochtitlan. In 1978, a group called Frente Homosexual de Acción Revolucionaria (FHAR) started organizing marches affiliated with leftist movements like the Cuban and Nicaraguan revolutions. The first demonstration for homosexual rights took place in 1979 which, like the marches in the United States, coincided with the anniversary of the Stonewall riots. FHAR was dissolved in 1981. This caused conflict during the 1983 Gran Marcha Gay, with the parade effectively splitting into two marches because of the political differences of the organizing groups. Both marches began at the Monument a los Niños Héroes; one march was organized in general support of civil and political rights for homosexuals. The other, organized by Red LHOCA (Red De Lesbianas Homosexuales Organizaciones Y Colectivos Autonomos), which primarily consisting of former FHAR members, included trans individuals and ended with a rally denouncing violence against people who were trans as well as calling for the end of government raids." An important visual relic of an important moment in the history of queer activism in Mexico.
