Description
Bonn: Henry & Cohen, 1862. Atlas der pathologischen Anatomie für praktische Aerzte. 4 parts in 1. Lithographed title-pages for the 4 parts, 257 lithographed plates (93 hand-colored); plate II/15, supplied from another copy, laid in loosely. Bonn: Henry & Cohen, 1847-1842-1846-1862. 487 x 325 mm. Later half morocco, marbled boards. Minor foxing and dampstaining, some uneven toning but very good. With: Erläuterung zu dem Atlasse der pathologischen Anatomie für praktischen Aerzte. 4 vols. in 5. Bonn: Henry & Cohen, 1832-62. 207 x 125 mm. Later quarter morocco, mottled boards, hinges of Vols. II, III and IV.1 reinforced with cloth tape. Some foxing but very good. Bookplate and stamp of the Pathologisches Institut Bonn in each volume. Bookseller's ticket in both text and atlas volumes. First Edition of Albers's Atlas of Pathological Anatomy, Including the Extremely Rare Text Volumes. The atlas was published over a period of 15 years, and even more significantly the text was published over no less than 30 years, explaining why it is nearly impossible to find. This is the only copy with the text that we have handled in our more than 50 years in the trade, and only the second copy of the atlas that we have ever offered for sale. The atlas itself is rare on the market, with only two copies recorded by Rare Book Hub, and the text has no auction records. Albers studied medicine at the University of Bonn, where he became a professor in 1831 and was named director of the university's pharmacological Kabinett. He published a number of works on pathology, pathological anatomy, pharmacology, psychiatry and clinical medicine; Hirsch notes that Albers' writings show "good observation skills, versatile utilization of clinical and experimental material and boast a worthy knowledge of the literature." His atlas of pathology covers diseases of the brain and spinal cord (Part 1), the throat (Part 2), the thorax (Part 3) and the abdomen (part 4); the five text volumes are subtitled "Diseases of the meninges, brain, 4toskull, spinal cord, and vertebral column," "Diseases of the neck," "Diseases of the chest," "Diseases of the stomach, intestinal tract, appendix, colon, rectum, liver, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, adrenal glands, and urinary bladder," and "Diseases of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, external female genitalia (female hermaphroditism), scrotum, testes, seminal vesicles and ducts, prostate, urethra, and penis (male hermaphroditism)." Goldschmidt singles out several of Albers' plates as being of particular interest, including his illustrations of the parasitic worm Distomum (Part 4, plate 45), urogenital tuberculosis (Part 4, plate 53), tumor of the sinus and dura (Part 1, plate 3a), and tumors of the breast (Part 3, plates 44-53). Albers' atlas is a bit larger in format than Cruveilhier's. Goldschmidt, Entwicklung und Bibliographie der pathologisch-anatomischen Abbildungen, p. 171. Garrison-Morton.com 14348. .

Description
[Philadelphia?]: William Harrison, Dealer in Frames, Chromos, Stereoscopes, Views, Albums, &c. No. 345 South Street, Philadelphia., 1870. Two nearly identical stereoview albumen prints, mounted side-by-side on cardstock. Oblong 7" x 3-1/4." Applied paper title-- "The White Slave" -- and publisher/vendor label on verso. Housed behind glass in a nice wooden contact print frame [not examined out of frame]. Very Good. In each print, a young African-American man is dressed to the nines in boldly checked and striped pants, frock coat, large top hat, and expensive shoes. A young white boy shines his shoes. The setting indicates dissatisfaction with Emancipation and Republican Reconstruction. Many whites, North and South, experienced Reconstruction, not as an effort to elevate Blacks to first class citizenship; but as a reversal of fortune for whites, diminishing their social and economic status, displaced by upstart African Americans. The Library Company describes this rare double print as follows: "Stereograph, possibly published in London, depicting a scene satirizing race relations in America. Shows the dandy standing and with one foot on the boy's shoe shine box in front of a back drop depicted as a wall adorned with broadsides referencing abolition, slavery, and emancipation. The dandy is attired in striped and checkered pants, a jacket with tails, a ruffled shirt, and top hat. He holds a walking stick under one arm and a cigarette in his other hand. The boy kneels and shines the dandy's shoes with his shining supplies and tools by his box. Broadsides include a 'playbill' reading 'Adelphi. Tonight The White Slave. Octoroon Farce' and an advertisement for 'Fast Clipper. Clyde. For New Orleans.' Other posts read 'No Slavery. Freedom' and 'Great Meeting. Negro Emancipation. Poor Slaves.' Adelphi is a London theater where The Octoroon was performed 1861-1862." The Adelphi, the Library Company points out, was a London theater; hence, the possible attribution to a London source. On the other hand, the hub of the Clyde Steamship Company, founded in 1874, was New York City, equally suggesting the possibility of a New York imprint. LCP P.2014.29 on line.

Biblioctopus (United States)
Description
1961. France (mostly Lyon): 1929-1961. The archive contains over 60 letters to Couturier, five letters from her, over 34 pieces of original art, eight etchings by others, seven exhibition broadsides and invitations, ten ledgers and receipts, four postcards and photographs, and several additional pieces. Albert Doran (1892-1987) was the pseudonym of Marie Couturier Grenetier, a French painter who adopted a male name to establish herself in the predominantly male artistic world of early twentieth-century France. A pupil of Antoine Barier, she made her reputation through vigorous, original depictions of mountain landscapes, capturing the misty and contrasting atmospheres of the Alps, the Savoie, and southern France in all seasons. She exhibited in Paris at the Salon des Artistes Français from 1925, was named an Officier d'Académie, and joined the Société des Peintres de Montagne in 1929. Her talent earned her the gold medal of the Société Lyonnaise des Beaux-Arts, where she later served as a member of the jury, and she participated in numerous salons and mounted several solo exhibitions throughout her career. The archive offers an intimate view of the working life of a pre-war French woman artist and the practical mechanics of the pseudonym that made it possible. The letters are addressed variously to Madame Albert Doran or Monsieur Doran, with the majority dating from the 1930s. Some correspondents are clearly aware that the artist is a woman; others still believe they are writing to a man. What emerges is a portrait of a deception that gradually ceased to matter: by mid-career, most of Couturier's gallerists and clients knew perfectly well who she was, and continued to work with her regardless. The pseudonym, having served its purpose as a door opened, became a professional name rather than a disguise. The original artwork consists mostly of pencil studies and small watercolors. The archive also includes cartons de vernissage for Doran exhibitions and ledgers recording works sold, with fees and other details of her commercial activity.

Near fine
Description
London, United Kingdom, 1800. Single four page letter measuring 4 ½ x 7 inches. Near fine. Frances Anne “Fanny” Kemble (1809–1893) was a British actor, writer, and later abolitionist. After her initial retirement from acting, she married Pierce Mease Butler, maternal grandson of American Founding Father Pierce Butler. Butler and Kemble lived in Philadelphia, but Butler had been deeded three large plantations—and the people enslaved on them—on Butler Island in Georgia. Kemble finally saw the plantations for herself several years into their marriage, and during this time wrote Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation in 1838–1839, which was critical of the conditions of the enslaved people. Butler forbade Kemble to publish the Journal; the two divorced, but it was not published until 1863. Offered here is a letter from Fanny Kemble to a publisher or newspaper editor about printing her response to a statement in an article about American slavery, likely written following her return to London in 1877. Kemble is frustrated about not having received a reply to her initial note to the publisher, which was: “in consequence of an article which appeared to me extremely likely to [?] the public judgement upon the subject of American slavery – I was extremely anxious to offer some reply to the statement in that article & wrote to you to beg you could tell me whether you would receive & publish such a communication from me [...] it contained some references to my own private circumstances which I intended for you & no one else.” Of interest to scholars of the abolitionist movement, especially women abolitionists.

Description
Troyes: Jean-Antoine Garnier, 1770. 24mo (118 x 67 mm). 24 pp. Title woodcut of the Virgin and St. Anne. Untrimmed, in contemporary French block-printed wrappers of floral papier dominoté with pansies, 5-petaled flowers, and closed buds on a dotted ground, printed in black and brown; title and date (1766) written in a 19th-century hand on front cover, back cover with erased Flemish library stamp (last line Flandre-Orientale); tears to backstrip.*** Only Garnier edition of a centuries-old staple of juvenile religious instruction. This pocket chapbook contains the catechism-like dialogue of the Emperor Hadrian and the legendary wise child (Epitus), who answers questions from his pagan elder about religion, Christ, the creation of the world, Biblical figures, death, and redemption. The dialogue is a distant descendant of the Sanskrit and Persian Seven Wise Masters story cycles, via the second-century Roman dialogue between Hadrian and the philosopher Epictetus. Its textual history is complex. Suchier traced eleven different versions (excluding a differently titled Catalan and Hispanic filiation) of a text that had its earliest known incarnation in a late 13th-century Provençal manuscript, and its first surviving printing in Lyon in the 1470s. The 16th-century editions, also “popular” editions, diverge in various ways from the text used in the incunable edition: dubbed by Suchier “ES3,” that version, which borrows also from the Elucidarium of Honorius Augustodunensis, was continuously reprinted, and is that which appears here. It does not represent, as implied by Mandrou, Marais, and others, a reworking of the popular text by a tendentious chapbook editor. Textual scholars have further traced corruptions and telephone-tag-like mutations of the text through manuscripts and print. Some of those corruptions account for the boy’s more enigmatic responses. While most of his preternaturally enlightened answers embrace standard Christian orthodoxy, others are outright bizarre; e.g., ”What is woman? —The image of death.” This violently misogynistic image, as well as a notoriously anti-Semitic remark, somberly highlighted by Mandrou and other social historians, both turn out to be the result of textual corruptions: The image of death was originally an answer to the question “What is sleep”; the question was missed by a scribe or a compositor and the mistake was perpetuated. Similarly, a remark on Jesus dying for the Jews, who were “bad,” can be traced to a corruption of the word esleuz (élus), or the chosen (people), to ébreus, i.e, Hebrews or Jews (cf. Kleinhans, p. 300). This was the text’s third appearance in the so-called Bibliothèque bleue, the cheap chapbook editions published in the 17th and 18th centuries in Troyes and other French provincial cities and distributed by colporteurs or peddlers. It was preceded by a 17th-century Troyes edition by the Oudot press, and a Caen edition. The paper wrappers of this copy are in the style of several examples from Paris and Orléans reproduced by Kopylov and Jammes in their respective volumes on French block-printed paper, but I have not found an exact match. OCLC locates four copies in American libraries.

Description
Pittsburgh, Pa: August 2, 1838. Good.. [2]pp., on a single folded sheet, integral blank addressed on verso. Original mailing folds, somewhat tender along fold lines, a small panel of integral blank chipped away along fold lines, short tear and small area of loss from removed wax seal to first leaf costing or affecting a few words, top edge bumped. An informative manuscript letter written by a notable abolitionist during his travels through Pittsburgh in the summer of 1838. Elias Richards (1802-1887) writes from the United States Hotel to his wife Elizabeth Hunt Richards (1804-1892) in Massachusetts while on a trip intending to locate a place he could settle in business. Both Elias and Elizabeth Richards were prominent abolitionists based in Weymouth, Massachusetts. Richards details his travel from Philadelphia through Pennsylvania, mentioning several towns on the road to Pittsburgh. Richards then provides a description of the Steel City: "This is a very busy city, situated on a point of land, between the Monongahela & Allegheny Rivers. I think this is a good place for business, everything seems to be lively, except the Steam Boats, the River being low they cannot run." Richards then relates his notable activities of the day before: "I called on W.H. Burleigh, yesterday. He invited me to attend an A.S. Slavery meeting at 3 o'clock P.M. which I did. I was introduced to a number of our A.S. Slavery friends. We had a very good meeting indeed. The meeting was addressed by Messrs. Hillin, McLeod, & Burleigh. It seemed almost as if I were at home, being in company with these noble spirits. They seem like old acquaintances." William Henry Burleigh was a Connecticut-based journalist, editor, women's rights and peace activist, Unitarian, and also prominent abolitionist. At the time of the present letter, Burleigh was serving as editor of the Pittsburgh Temperance Banner, which afterwards became the Christian Witness, the official periodical of the Western Pennsylvania Anti-Slavery Society. Richards ends his letter with his indecision on Pittsburgh as a place to center his commercial activities (he was a cobbler and leatherworker by trade), a report of his good health, and well wishes for his wife and children back home. Manuscript material from Elias Richards appears to be quite uncommon, especially mentioning other important abolitionists working in places such as Pittsburgh as early as the 1830s.

Description
Boston: Henry L. Devereux, Printer, 1839. First edition. Removed. Lacking the wrappers, slight foxing, mostly to the last few leaves, else very good.. 48 pp. 8vo. A strong campaign piece in support of Van Buren and attacking the opposition, including Massachusetts leaders: "Instead of this the political relation assumed by Massachusetts towards the General Government has been for forty years past... sometimes almost rebellious opposition.... The members of the legislature and the delegation of the Commonwealth in Congress are employed... not in facilitating the action of the General Government, but in thwarting its efforts and embarrassing [it]." Everett also spends much time attacking those opposed to Van Buren's Independent Treasury Bill (ie. the Whigs, and specifically Daniel Webster and Henry Clay). Alexander Hill Everett (1792-1847) was Minister to Spain who later switched his party from Whig to Democrat and was blamed for the 1839 loss of his brother, Edward Everett, for reelection as governor.
