Description
Okayama, 1925. Very good.. [15]pp. Old fold lines, minor wear. With original envelope. Lengthy letter written by Mrs. C. Burnell Olds to a friend and donor back in Connecticut, Mrs. Nathan S. Bronson. Okayama is located to the west of Osaka and Kyoto, in the southern portion of the country; Mrs. Olds was born to a missionary family stationed in Japan, and had worked in that country since 1903. In her letter, Olds relates her current round of activities, the ways in which Mrs. Bronson's funds have been of great use, and the other activities she observes and participates in within the local community. She opens recounting a visit to the True Beauty Girls' School, to which Mrs. Bronson has donated. She writes, "The fact that an American woman was willing to give to a non-Christian school way over here in Japan has made a great impression here in Okayama." She goes on to discuss the building of a new church by some "earnest young men," briefly noting that they still need money to furnish the church. "We are very anxious to start some kind of social work here -- if possible to open an amusement hall where young men can come to have a good time in a good way -- with good women. There is no such place in our city, and how many evil resorts there are." She relates further activities, an endless stream of clubs and activities and teaching efforts for the Lord, closing with family news. An interesting missive, chock full of information on a local missionary's efforts in 1920s Japan.

1825. No binding. Fine. Autograph Letter Signed, to William Imlay, February 10, 1825. 1 p., 7&frac78; x 9 3/4 in. ""The great struggle is over.... no one, friend nor foe, expected a defeat, so sudden & signal. But we must submit like good citizens; I hope for better & brighter times. The Genl bears his disappointment, as he always bore his victories, like-a hero.""Congressman George Holcombe, a loyal Jacksonian, bemoans the loss of the election. New Jersey had given its one vote in the House of Representatives election to Jackson. Historical BackgroundFrom 1800 to 1820, the Democratic-Republican Party won six consecutive presidential elections. In 1824, the party split into factions that fielded four candidates: John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts; Andrew Jackson of Tennessee (the hero of the Battle of New Orleans); William H. Crawford of Georgia (former Secretary of War and Secretary of the Treasury); and Henry Clay of Kentucky (in his first of five unsuccessful presidential campaigns).In the election held between October 26 and December 2, 1824, Andrew Jackson received 41% of the popular vote and 99 electoral votes, while John Quincy Adams garnered 31% of the popular vote and 84 electoral votes. Crawford and Clay divided the remaining popular vote and together gained 78 electoral votes. John C. Calhoun was easily elected as Vice President with 182 electoral votes, more than twice the total of all other candidates combined.As no presidential candidate won a majority of electoral votes, the House of Representatives had to decide the outcome, based on the provisions of the Twelfth Amendment. In the original election, five states had divided their electoral votes, with New York apportioning votes among all four candidates. However, in the House, each state had only one vote, and could consider only the top three candidates-Jackson, Adams, and Crawford. The fourth candidate, Speaker of the House Henry Clay, detested Jackson and threw his support behind Adams, who won on the first ballot with thirteen states, to Jackson's seven, and Crawford's four.Jacksonians were shocked by the results. They accused Adams and Clay, who became Adams' Secretary of State, of a ""corrupt bargain."" Jackson's supporters coalesced into the Democratic Party, while Adams and Clay founded the National Republican Party and then the Whig Party.Complete TranscriptWashington / Feby. 10th 1825.Dear sir, The great struggle is over. The friends of Jackson had been preparing (at least, I had) for some time, to be beaten. But no one, friend nor foe, expected a defeat, so sudden & signal. But we must submit like good citizens; I hope for better & brighter times.The Genl bears his disappointment, as he always bore his victories, like-a hero.

He studied medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and was a physician in Allentown, New Jersey, from 1808 to 1815. He served in the New Jersey General Assembly in 1815 and 1816, and in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1821-1828. Initially a Republican, he became a Jacksonian over that time.William Imlay (1790-1880) was a resident of Allentown, Monmouth County, New Jersey. He served as a justice of the peace in Monmouth County and as postmaster of Allentown (1820-1844). He also owned a drug and hardware store, and raised silk worms and mulberry trees. His cousin, James H. Imlay, had represented the district in Congress from 1797 to 1801.

Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description
1875. Set of two original albumen prints depicting armed Arab and Bedouin camel riders, published circa 1875, represents late nineteenth-century photographic engagement with tribal identity, martial imagery, and desert life in the Arab world. Produced during a period when European photographers and publishers circulated ethnographic and Orientalist imagery to Western audiences, these photographs document the visual construction of the "Arab warrior" as both cultural type and romanticized emblem of desert autonomy. The images support research in Middle Eastern social history, the history of photography, colonial-era ethnographic representation, and the visual politics of identity in the Ottoman and North African regions during the late nineteenth century. Albumen prints. Circa 1875. Each image approximately 8.25 x 11 inches. The first photograph shows an Arab warrior mounted astride a camel, spear poised in throwing position, with a sword secured to the saddle at the animal's flank. The rider and camel stand centered on a road lined with palm trees and vegetation, suggesting an oasis or cultivated approach to settlement. The second photograph portrays a Bedouin figure traditionally dressed in a thobe and kufiyya, standing beside his camel against an open desert landscape. The camel is saddled, with the warrior's sword visible along its side, and a solitary fort tower appears in the background, evoking regional defensive architecture and territorial presence. Both compositions emphasize weaponry, dress, and mounted mobility as markers of status and identity. Such images circulated widely in European albums and travel publications, shaping Western perceptions of Arab society through a lens that combined documentary detail with staged ethnographic typology. The prominence of spear and sword underscores continuity of martial symbolism at a time when imperial powers were consolidating control across North Africa and the Middle East. The juxtaposition of oasis roadway and stark desert fortification highlights environmental and political dimensions of nineteenth-century life in the region. Light age-related toning consistent with albumen process; minor surface wear and edge handling; images retain strong contrast and clarity. Overall very good condition. A compelling pair of nineteenth-century photographs reflecting the intersection of photography, ethnographic representation, and constructions of Arab martial identity.

Description
London: T. Bensley, 1795. Hardcover. Very Good. Hardcover. Scarce. This edition is printed in Greek and Latin. Bion ( onos) was an ancient Greek bucolic poet from Smyrna, probably active at the end of the second or beginning of the first century BC. He is named in the Suda as one of three canonical bucolic poets alongside Theocritus and Moschus. One long poem about Adonis and seventeen shorter fragments of his poetry survive. Moschus (Moschou) was an ancient Greek bucolic poet and student of the Alexandrian grammarian Aristarchus of Samothrace. He was born at Syracuse and flourished about 150 BC. Aside from his poetry, he was known for his grammatical work, nothing of which survives. Theocritus (early third century BCE), born in Syracuse and also active on Cos and at Alexandria, was the inventor of the bucolic genre. Like his contemporary Callimachus, Theocritus was a learned poet who followed the aesthetic, developed a generation earlier by Philitas of Cos (LCL 508), of refashioning traditional literary forms in original ways through tightly organized and highly polished work on a small scale (thus the traditional generic title Idylls: "little forms")[Wikipedia]. The editor, George Hamilton Gordon, 4th Earl of Aberdeen (1784-1860), was a writer on Greek classical architecture and a future British Prime Minister. The book was described as: "A beautiful and correct edition, by the late Gilbert Wakefield, and printed with great care and delicacy by Bensley, but without accents, for which omission it has been much censured, and for which reason it never sold. The work is commended by foreign critics." [Thomas Frognall Dibdin] Bound in red leather with a faded spine with rubbing to gilt titling. Bumping and soiling to covers. All edges gilt. Red dentelles with gilt ornament design. Hinges are slightly cracked but text block is firm. Browning and spotting to front and particularly the rear endpapers with darker browning along margins of hinges. Tear to front free endpaper.Text pages are generally clean with light aging to margins. Very good condition. Measures 6.5 x 9.5 inches. Pages: (8) + 33 + (82). POE/072123.

Secacus NJ: Citadel Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dj. (c.1985). First Edition. Hardcover. 0806509767 . [minimal shelfwear, a tiny trace of foxing to top of text block; jacket lightly rubbed, minor edgewear, soft vertical crease at bottom of front panel]. (B&W photographs) "A complete account of Howard Hughes's career as a film mogul," a spotty track record that includes such classics as HELL'S ANGELS, SCARFACE and THE OUTLAW (all of which are discussed at some length) and such turkeys as MAD WEDNESDAY (aka THE SIN OF HAROLD DIDDLEBOCK), VENDETTA and THE CONQUEROR. (Come to think of it, I should have included THE OUTLAW with the turkeys, too.) About a third of the book is devoted to Hughes's stewardship (if that's the right word) of RKO Studios, which he ran from 1948 until 1955, selling it off after having pretty much delivered it to death's doorstep. The book concludes with a brief chapter called "Hollywood Afterlife," which discusses Hughes's post-RKO years and also a few of the cinematic depictions of the increasingly reclusive (and wacko) mogul. .
