Description
[Vienna, 1783. 4to (241 x 176 mm). 432 etched and/or engraved plates of decorative objects (platemarks 171-177 x 131 mm.), comprising parts (Cahiers) VI to XLI, by various engravers after Hagenauer. Printed on thick laid paper, watermark crown & shield with fleurs-de-lis watermark. (Overall discoloration due to paper quality, some spotting and finger-soiling, one or two short marginal tears, a few old ink splashes from users.) Bound ca. 1900 in brown morocco-backed boards, spine blind-tooled and with gilt-lettered title, by Franz Ostermann, binder’s ticket, address 80 boulevard Malesherbes (corners rubbed). Provenance: Victor and Robert Baguès, owners of the Maison Baguès, specialized in luxury lighting, bookplate, shelf-mark no. 72 on bookplate and on paper spine label.*** EXTREMELY RARE SUITE OF MOST OF THE EXTANT DESIGNS  FOR ORNAMENTAL DECORATIVE OBJECTS by the Austrian sculptor Johann Baptist Hagenauer (1732-1810). The collection was produced for the benefit of his students at the Viennese Academy of Engraving and related applied arts. The only complete copy of the suite recorded, containing 474 plates, is held by the Victoria and Albert Museum. Our copy appears to be a close second; it contains 36 of the 42 published parts, each with 12 plates. Absent are parts1 to 5 and 42, as well as the general title. The third most complete holding appears to be that of the library of the Museum für angewandte Kunst in Vienna, with 189 plates (see census below). Hagenauer’s designs, for candelabras and chandeliers, cane pommels, buttons, buckles, cartes-de-visite, frames, wall friezes and molding, vases and ovens, and pure ornaments such as trophies, range in style from geometrical and neoclassical to wildly ornate and figurative, many incorporating fantastical  anthropomorphic or zoomorphic figures. Between these two extremes, his designs above all furnished his students with models of the French style, although the sheer quantity and variety of the designs occasionally foreshadow future artistic schools — thus a few foliate or floral ornaments have an Art deco or even Art nouveau feel (e.g., two cane pommels, plates 129 and 133, the second with a fairy-like creature). The graphic designs for cartes-de-visite, which the artist specifies can be used for multiple purposes, include some particularly enchanting specimens. The whole provides a fascinating glimpse into a transitional period in the decorative arts, when the late Rococo (disparagingly labeled Zopfstil by Jessen and other critics) lingered amongst flashes of the soon to be dominant return to classical simplicity. (Rainald Franz traces the influences on Hagenauer’s ornament designs, and their influence on artists, in detail.) Hagenauer is best known for his sculptures in stone and bronze, but he also produced small-scale works. He was the fourth of 11 children from Strass in Upper Bavaria (then under the jurisdiction of Salzburg). His two brothers Georg and Wolfgang were well-known architects. Christoph, Graf von Schrattenbach, Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg, and an uncle financed his studies at the Fine Arts Academy in Vienna, where his precocious talent earned him continued support from the Archbishop, who sent him to Italy. He met his first wife there, Maria Rosa Barducci, a talented painter. (After her death in 1786, he married another artist, 40 years his junior, Elisabeth Weber, a medallist and sculptor.) On returning to Salzburg Hagenauer was appointed “erzbischöflichen Hofstatuarius,” official sculptor to the Archbishopric. His best-known work is the statue of the Virgin on Cathedral Square in Salzburg, for which his brother Wolfgang carried out the architectural details; he later produced statuary for the park of Nymphenburg castle in Munich and for Schönbrunn in Vienna, and in 1777 became professor of sculpture at the Viennese Academy. Most relevantly, from 1780 until his death he directed the royal school of engraving and metalwork (the k. k. Bossier und Gravierschule, the Imperial-Royal Academy of Engraving). The school had been founded by the engraver Jacob Matthias Schmutzer in 1767, to train “apprentices and workers of the `commercial professions,’ — goldsmiths and silversmiths, workers in bronze, beltmakers, armorers and sword smiths, but also interested amateurs,” in order to boost local production of these goods. In conjunction with tariffs and prohibitions against imported goods, the founding of this school helped further the development of autonomous Austrian decorative arts and crafts (Franz, pp. 874-5, trans.). Hagenauer completed sixteen of the cahiers at his own expense, before requesting funding from Prince Kaunitz, director of the Fine Arts Academy. The rarity of these ornament designs may at least in part be due to their use by student artisans. Hagenauer’s only other published work appears to be a guide to perspective, also published for his students (Unterricht von der Proporzion des Menschen, vom Perspective, wie auch von der Lichtes- und Schattenlehre, Vienna 1791). Subjects of the engravings are as follows: Cahiers VI-VII: Table candelabras, held by sculpted mythological figures or animals (including a Cerberus), each individually named in the captions, which are in French throughout. 24 plates. VIII: More table candelabra, with anthropomorphic, grotesque, classical or simply foliate decors. 6 pl. IX-XI: Candlesticks, mostly neoclassical, some with figures, titled “Termes” (cahiers IX-X) and “Tridons” [sic, for Tritons?] (cahier XI). 36 pl. XII-XIII: Ornate cane pommels, most showing the side and top views. 24 pl. XIV-XV: Buttons, 9 to 14 per plate. 24 pl. XVI: Buckles, “for men[’s belts or shoes], horses’ harnesses, and other ornaments.” 12 pl. XVII-XVIII: “Buckles for women and other ornaments appropriate for luxury objects.” 24 pl. XIX-XXI: Designs for “billets de visite, also applicable as ornaments to other objects.” 72 designs on 36 pl. XXII-XXV: Frames: “different borders applicable to all kinds of decorative objects.” 48 pl. XXVI-XXVII: Clocks: (“Cartets pendules à piédestaux et à supports”). 24 pl. XXVIII-XXIX: Wall supports for busts, figures, vases, etc. 24 pl. XXX-XXXI: Moldings and friezes. 24 pl. XXXII-XXXIV: Large ornate vases (“New inventions of different vases”). 36 pl. XXXV: “Ovens [for heating] in pedestal form on which one can place vases, etc..” 12 pl. XXXVI- XXXVIII: Trophies, “ecclesiastical, secular, and related to war, peace, the arts and sciences, etc.” 36 pl. XXXIX-XXXXI: Large branched candelabra and chandeliers (”Girandoles” and “Lustres”). 36 pl. (The absent cahiers 1-5 are largely devoted to ovens, and no. 42 depicts glasses and cups.) The plates are numbered at top by part and within each part, and consecutively at the foot. This collection starts with 38 (the first five parts had fewer plates each). Usually only the first plate of each part is titled, to identify the object, but the plates in cahiers VI and VII are individually captioned. Various engravers signed or initialed the plates: Johann Lechner (the initial J. often confused with an F., cf. Thieme Becker), Kilian Ponheimer, Johann Assner, Franz Assner, Antoine Amon, M. Wohlfarter, and G. Brodkorb. Not all the engravers knew French; the caption for Cahier XIV, pl. 1, by J. Assner, for example, is spelled “Poutons.” This copy was owned by well-known decorators. Victor and Robert Baguès’s Parisian firm of luxury lighting was founded by their father Noel Baguès in Paris in the 1850s. The brothers were “heirs to an admirable and patiently amassed collection [of lighting fixtures].... Every type was represented...” (La Renaissance de l'art français et des industries de luxe, vol. 9 [1926], p. 490). In 1911 they branched out into fer forgé, or wrought iron works, and they established a conservatory to maintain the traditions of master ironworkers. It may have been the Baguès brothers who had the plates bound, before 1902: Franz Ostermann (d. 1938), a binder originally from Alsace, founded his Paris workshop in 1872 at 80 boulevard Malesherbes, moving to 28 rue Ampère in 1902 (data.bnf.fr). Census of recorded holdings: UK: Victoria & Albert: apparently complete copy, 474 plates & title. Austria: Vienna, Museum für angewandte Kunst (MAK): 189 plates. Franz cites a copy at the library of St. Peter’s Abbey in Salzburg, though it is not in their online catalogue. The Kupferstichkabinett in Vienna owns 340 drawings of the designs; many appear to be copies by his students (Franz, p. 877). Germany: Staatlichen Kunstbibliothek Berlin: 105 plates, from cahiers 1-2, 14, 22-25, 28-29, and 33-35. Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Universitätsbibliothek: 80 plates.

Description
Turin: nella stamperia [Gerardo?] Giuliano, 1772. 12mo (151 x 85 mm). 180 pages. 26 half-page woodcuts printed from 23 blocks, of which 22 showing tormented souls in Hell and one a memento mori; five smaller woodcuts: title cut of St. Michael (printer’s device?), St. Francis receiving the stigmata, the Trinity with spheres of the cosmos, a skull and crossbones, and the Crucifixion; a few type ornaments. (Lower corners of fols. B1 and B2 torn with loss to a few words on B2v; softened, some corners creased, light foxing.) 20th-century quarter parchment and block-printed paper covered boards (scrape to lower cover). Provenance: “Ex libris Sac. J. Henry,” 20th-century inkstamp repeated twice on title. *** Rare edition of a popular devotional work intended to terrify readers away from sin, illustrated with nightmarish, expressionistic woodcuts.  Showing silently screaming sinners contorting with pain in the flames and tortures of Hell, the woodcuts illustrate 24 “esclamaziones,” most describing, in purple prose, different sins. Each “exclamation” is followed by an esempio — a monitory tale, and a final, brief paragraph containing the sinner’s remorseful prayer for pardon. At the outset the unknown author paraphrases Augustine (Ep. 185, 21) to express the grim view that fear is the strongest incentive toward virtue ("Plus sunt quos corrigit timor, quam quos diligit Amor"). Faced with a hair-raising image of the ultimate punishment, the reader learns the perils of pride, lust, avarice, usury, vengefulness, gluttony, slander, cursing, sloth, ingratitude, gambling, dancing, expensive dress, ostentatious display, disrespect towards one’s parents, obstinacy, impenitence, and despair. Duly terrified, he or she is prepared to learn more about Hell, eternity, Judgment Day, God’s omnipotence, and even Paradise. Further lessons include a particular warning to “dishonest poets, painters, and comedians,” a poetic litany of metaphors for mortal sin (an infinitely ugly monster, a drink that transforms men into beasts, poison proffered by the Devil in a golden cup, etc.), its effects on the soul and the body, and how to avoid it. Just when one thought it was over, more tales of the damned follow, including one of a female sinner, who “neglected to confess a mortal sin out of shame.” The work concludes (finally) with lists of daily prayers and meditations. A single wood engraver produced the 23 half-page blocks, 22 of which (repeated to 25) show horror-filled scenes of naked souls. He deployed his limited skills effectively, filling the frames with tireless parallel hatching and varying the positions of each writhing sinner, shown as if through a window into Hell. The iconography was evidently copied from one edition to another, to judge from the only digitized images of any edition that we could find, 2 pages from the undated Lucca: Marescondoli edition (ICCU ITICCUCFIE�28152). The memento mori cut on p. 72 includes xylographic text which was engraved backwards by the possibly illiterate engraver, who copied it directly from a different block. The smaller woodcuts, in different styles, were probably from the printer’s stock. OCLC and ICCU together list 16 editions of this popular text (most claiming, like this one, to be revised and expanded), the earliest from 1670, and the latest published in 1857. The majority were printed in the 18th century, in Bassano, Treviso, Brescia, Bologna and Lucca. It is obvious that the surviving editions, none of which are recorded in more than two copies (most in one copy only), reveal but the tip of the iceberg of a chillingly gripping bestseller. Only this edition, whose attributed dating by ICCU we have adopted, and another edition by the same printer, dated 1742, are from Turin. The present edition is the only one recorded with the word “chiamar[e]” instead of “richiamare” in the title. Interestingly, the other Turin edition, which was presumably illustrated wtih the same primitive woodcuts, is held by the Bibliothèque Kandinsky in the Centre Pompidou in Paris, a library dedicated to the study of modern art. The book fits right in. ICCU ITICCUTO0E�35776, locating a copy of this edition at the Biblioteca provinciale di filosofia San Tommaso d'Aquino in Turin. The only American holdings are a copy of the Bologna 1675 edition at Yale Medical Library, and of the Treviso 1785 edition at Harvard.

CONGREGATIO FILIARUM AB IMMACULATA CONCEPTIONE COMPAGNIA DELLE DIMESSE 4to (196x150). [12], 109, [3] pp. Collation: *6 A-O4. Woodcut device with St. Catherine of Alexandria kneeling before the Virgin Mary and Child on the title page, woodcut vignette of the Virgin Mary and Child in heaven surrounded by 16 smaller vignettes of the four Evangelists and 12 events from the life of the Virgin on l. *6v, woodcut vignette of the Virgin Mary and Child in heaven with angels within a typographic frame on l. O3r, woodcut coats-of-arms of the Cardinals Michele Priuli and Agostino Valier facing each other at the bottom of their respective letters of approval of the Ordini on ll. O3v-4r, colophon on l. O4v. With a dedication by the master and sisters of the Congregation to the Bishop of Vicenza Michele Priuli (1547-1603) dated 4 April 1587, followed by another dedication addressed by Antonio Pagani (from Monte San Felice, 1 September 1584) to the sisters of the Congregation and in particular to patronesses Deianira and Angela Valmarana, and Isabetta Franceschini who helped him to found the Order. With several historiated and decorative woodcut initials. Roman and italic types. 18th-century vellum, pastedowns covered with colored floral paper. A clean, well-preserved copy. First edition (reprinted in 1617, 1672, and 1889) of the statutes of the Congregation of the "Suore dimesse figlie di Maria Immacolata", a female religious institution founded in Vicenza in 1579 by Antonio Pagani, a friar of the local convent of the Minor Observants of San Biagio. In 1584 the Bishop of Vicenza, Michele Priuli (1547-1603) and the Apostolic Visitor in Vicenza, Agostino Valier (1531-1606) approved the congregation and its statutes (their letters of approval dated 1584 are printed at the end of the edition together with their coats-of-arms, ll. O3v-4r). The new order quickly spread to other towns of the Republic of Venice: in 1595 a new institute was founded in Murano, followed by others in Thiene, Schio, Feltre, Verona, Bergamo, Verona, Padua (1615), and Udine (1656). In 1810, only the houses of Udine and Padua survived the Napoleonic suppression of the religious orders. The Dimesse still exist today and, since 1842, have devoted themselves mainly to the education of girls (https://www.dimesse.it/about-us/). The Dimesse were grouped together in numbers of no more than nine, initially in different houses in Vicenza. They were all widows or young women who wished to begin a life of exclusive Christian poverty, deprived of the presence of outsiders. These women were not obliged to take vows, but they did follow a rather strict rule. A "massaro" acted as an intermediary with the outside world; the "nuns" praied during the day in honour of the Virgin Mary, did works of charity, received strangers who could stay no longer than three days; they could receive visits from relatives only on the 14th of each month; any increase in income had to be given to the poor of Christ. The internal structure of the rule provided for the annual election of a female adviser, the presence of a confessor and a chaplain at masses, and the observance of chastity, poverty and humility. Antonio Pagani was born in Venice and studied canon and civil law in Padua, graduating in 1545. Influenced by Sister Paola Antonia Negri of the Compagnia delle Angeliche, Pagani entered the Order of the Bernabites in 1546 and was ordained a priest in 1550. In 1557 he entered the Franciscan Order, first in Udine and then in 1558 in Venice at the convent of San Francesco della Vigna. Between 1559 and 1562 he visited several towns in Veneto and Istria as a much sought-after teacher and preacher. In 1562 the general of his Order sent him to the Council of Trent. In 1565 he was transferred to the monastery of San Biagio in Vicenza. The newly appointed Bishop Matteo Priuli entrusted him with the reorganisation of the diocese of Vicenza. It was in this city that Pagani founded the Compagnia dei Fratelli della Croce and, in 1579, the Congregation of the Dimesse, and a few years later he wrote and published the present Ordini. He died in January 1589 in Vicenza. During his lifetime he published two collections of poems (Rime, 1555 and Rime spirituali, 1570) and several devotional works both in Italian and Latin (cf. Sr. R. Ferraresso, Il Venerabile Antonio Pagani, in: "Quarto centenario della morte del Ven. Antonio Pagani 1589-1989. Francescano, teologo, riformatore", Le Venezie Sacre, nuova serie, anno V, 1/2, Padua, 1988, pp. 17-28; see also G. Mantese, Il Ven. Antonio Pagani nella storia religiosa del Cinquecento vicentino e veneto, in: "Op. cit.", pp. 29-55). "Si aprì così un ventennio [1565-1585] di attività intensa volta alla riforma dell'Oratorio di san Girolamo e alla fondazione della Compagnia dei Fratelli della Croce e delle Dimesse. La fondazione di queste ultime va ricondotta ad alcune terziarie francescane che, desiderose di attendere con maggior impegno alla vita interiore, vivevano ritirate in uno stabile, che comprendeva anche una torre, presso la chiesa di san Marcello. Animatore di questo movimento di terziarie, soprannominate 'Pizzocchere della Torre', che dipendevano dai Minori Osservanti di San Biagio, era il Pagani. Fra le terziarie vi erano le nobili vicentine Deianira e Angela Valmarana, cugine, e le sorelle Caterina, Domitilla e Paola Antonia Fiorini. A queste, che gradualmente si staccano dalle 'Pinzochere della Torre', fra' Antonio dà norme e regole, costituendo così, un nuovo nucleo di terziarie aventi una propria fisionomia. In un primo periodo, Deianira e le sue compagne, vivono in una casa del borgo Pusterla e mantengono contatti con le terziarie della torre. Poi, lentamente, ma con decisione, fin dall'agosto 1579, la separazione tra i due gruppi diviene sempre più profonda, fino al distacco completo. In un atto notarile, rogato in Vicenza il 25 agosto 1579, si legge: 'Vicentiae, in Borgo Pusterle in domo habitationis reverende sor Deianire per titulo de venditione et pretio finito et determinato de ducati mille et cento correnti, messer Sebastian Bovo, spicial in Vicentia, dà, vende et aliena alla magnifica domina sor Deianira fu quondam de magnifico Cavalier Gio Alvise nobile vicentina Pizochara de Terzo Ordine di Santo Francisco una casa grande, murata et solarata con corte et horto cinto de muro nel borgo de Portanova in contrà de Santo Roccho'. Con tale sistemazione si può dire abbia inizio la nuova Compagnia. Infatti, il 25 agosto 1579, venne sempre considerato come data di fondazione della Congregazione delle Dimesse. Il 2 ottobre 1584, il cardinale Agostino Valier, visitatore apostolico a Vicenza, si reca presso la Compagnia. E questa la prima comparsa ufficiale delle Dimesse che devono aver presentato al cardinale gli 'Ordini' " (Sr. R. Ferraresso, Op. cit., pp. 25-26; on the foundation of the congregation see also Sr. D. Anolfi, La fondazione delle Dimesse, in: "Op. cit.", pp. 95-124). "Agostino Valier firmly believed in the project of lay consecration of women carried out by the Company of Saint Ursula, which served as a prototype for other women's congregations that sprang up locally at that time for the spiritual perfection of the women admitted to them and for the service of the community. The first institute to join the Ursulines was that of the Dimesse. Founded in Vicenza in 1579 by the Franciscan and former Barnabite Antonio Pagani, and approved by Agostino Valier himself as Apostolic Visitor of Vicenza in 1584, the institute of the Dimesse was also established in Verona during the last period of Valier's episcopate. More precisely, in 1602, Valier gave Father Galese Nichesola permission to continue the foundation of the Congregation of the Dimesse in Verona, which had been founded a few years earlier in imitation of the institute in Vicenza. Some information about the birth of the foundation in Verona can also be found in a letter written by Father Galese Nichesola on the 20th of February 1617 as an introduction to the Ordini della divota Compagnia delle Dimesse, che vivono sotto il nome et la protettione della purissima Madre di Dio Maria Vergine (Verona, Angelo Tamo, 1617). The Veronese Ordini, with the exception of Nichesola's introductory letter and the final reference to the final part of the De Beguinis decree of the Council of Vienne of 1311, are essentially a new edition of the Ordini prepared by Father Antonio Pagani for the Compagnia delle Dimesse of Vicenza and first printed in 1587. It should be noted that the Veronese edition of 1617, like the princeps of 1587, ends precisely with the two documents approving the Ordini delle Dimesse of Vicenza, which bear the names of the Bishop of Vicenza, Michele Priuli, and the Apostolic Visitor, Agostino Valier. The two documents date back to 1584, the year in which the first version of the Ordini for the Dimesse -of which the autograph manuscript is preserved in the Bertoliana Library of Vicenza- was written, which was essentially taken up again in the 1587 edition, although enriched with four important chapters on the 'Capitolazione' and purged of more explicit references to Franciscan spirituality. Unlike the Company of Saint Ursula, which was mainly for young women who wished to live as consecrated women within their own families, the Congregation of the Dimesse welcomed women of all ages, virgins and widows, and offered them the possibility of living in an alternative residence to the family home. Like the Ursulines, the Dimesse followed a monastic rule, but without public vows, and played an active role in teaching Christian doctrine, caring for the sick and undertaking other pious works. These similarities were no coincidence. Behind them was the will of the ecclesiastical hierarchies, precisely at a time when the rules of the cloister were being tightened, to favour the presence of models of life for women as an alternative to the usual scenario of convent/marriage, giving them dignity and value, placing them within a well-defined organizational network under the bishop and responding to a precise pastoral and educational program, traceable to a fundamental categorical imperative: the sanctification of society. A certainly ambitious goal, but one that the post-Tridentine Church could not avoid, and to which it sought to respond with new and renewed models of spiritual perfection, ever closer to the needs and particularities of the individual, even, as in this case, of those "single women" who so alarmed society at the time. Here, then, we see that for Valier the virgins and widows of the Congregation of Saint Ursula, and later of the Congregation of the Dimesse, were certainly an attempt to offer a different paradigm of reference for those women who wished to live out their own choice of faith in the world, but they were also exceptional pastoral instruments with enormous educational potential. As models of holy life and at the same time as promoters of works of charity in the middle of the century, they were able to act in the intimacy of families, to intervene to comfort the suffering of others in hospitals and to work for the promotion of knowledge of Christian doctrine in the catechism schools of the parishes. These groups of 'pious women' were therefore another important element in Valier's program of spiritual renewal and, more generally, in that of the Tridentine Church" (E. Patrizi, Pastoralità ed educazione: l'episcopato di Agostino Valier nella Verona post-tridentina, Milan, 2015, I, pp. 367-368). Edit16, CNCE17188, OCLC, 1342995722 (only 2 copies in US libraries); P.

Description
Augusta, Georgia, 1818. Single letter, three 9 x 16 inch pages, letters with some tape repairs and stray holes at folds, still quite legible. Very good. A letter written by Calvin Barnard to his friend Asa Holman of Bolton, Massachusetts, describing the former’s trip from Boston to Augusta, South Carolina from November 25 to January 1. Barnard first traveled from Boston to Charleston, South Carolina, by boat, from which he notes “almost a continual gagging and vomiting” from the passengers. In Charleston, Barnard observes that the city is inelegant, the unpaved streets “filled with mud”, and views “the breastworks which were thrown up during the last war”. This would have been the War of 1812, of which Barnard was likely a veteran. South Carolina had engaged upwards of 5,000 soldiers and had put up defenses along the coastline in anticipation of the war, but it did not come to the mainland – although South Carolina was under naval blockade, and the Sea Islands were targeted by the British. Barnard reaches Savannah, Georgia, on the 25th of December; similarly, he finds it “although a place of considerable business”, “about as dissatisfactory a place I ever was in.” Augusta, which he reaches by foot, “is much handsomer built and situated than Savannah but not less dissipated” – he remarks that “Being the first day of the year is in this part of the country another great day for getting drunk.” After spending some time in Augusta, he finishes the letter with some pointed observations about its residents: “I have had a better opportunity of becoming acquainted with the manners, customs, and dispositions of the citizens of Augusta [...] I shall not do them injustice by dividing them into three classes (in which the Negroes are excepted). The first class of which are the gentry as they would expect to be called, made up of men from all parts who have become rich here, mostly by avaricious and unjust means [...] And this class we cannot expect to see drink more than once a week. The second is mostly the natives of this state and South Carolina, who are men of a little property, of a little education and very little of an honorable principle of any kind, and these are not often seen drunk in the forenoon. The third class appears to me to be made up of the off-scouring of every bad place on earth, for I never saw their equal for drunkenness, lying, stealing, fighting, swearing from morning till morning again. It is not possible that the continent of America has in any other place their equal. If it had, I think the whole world soon be sunk.” He finds Augusta’s African-American residents the only trustworthy ones, despite local opinions: “If any stealing is done here, it is laid to the Negroes, but I had my surtout, a shirt, and handkerchief stolen on Friday night last, but have too good an opinion of the blacks to [think] they have them.” Of interest as an outsider’s views on the early Antebellum South and on drinking – another pressing social issue of the day.

1738. Londres [i.e. Amsterdam?] : Aux dÈpens de la Compagnie, 1738. 12mo, (4), 179pp. Title- printed in red and black. Ink signature Carteret Harvey on A1. 19th-century blue cloth, red label, red edges, very good. ß OCLC: 12073708: Miscellany, comprising a grotesque fairy tale, a philosophical epistle and a series of letters addressed from hell to the world above. The whole is redolent of political and philosophical overtones, intended as a criticism of the Regency and the morality of the age. L'amour magot, is a fable about the dangers of romantic love in an inexperienced young heroine. The 'lettres infernales' are written by inhabintants of hell. One letter is written from a bookseller, addressed to his colleagues on earth in which he discusses hell's booktrade. OCLC locates in all about 18 copies but doubtless there are more. No one hazards a guess at the authorship. A pencil note in the book states: Anon see Bulletin du bibliophile 16 sÈrie p. 372. Comte d I. .

1946. Defend Democratic Rights! Handbill Calling for Justice After the Arson of Black WWII Veteran John T. Walker's Home in Redwood City, California, 1946 Redwood City, CA: Communist Party, San Mateo County, [1946]. 8.5 x 11 in. Mimeographed leaflet. Handbill issued by the Communist Party of San Mateo County after the nearly completed home of Black World War II veteran John T. Walker was burned to the ground in Redwood City, California, on December 6, 1946. The attack belonged to a wider postwar wave of violence against Black veterans whose military service had not protected them from white intimidation, housing exclusion, police violence, or racial terror after their return home. In 1946, Sergeant Isaac Woodard was blinded by police in South Carolina shortly after his discharge, and violence against returning Black servicemen helped push civil rights demands onto President Truman's national agenda.

Description
Paris: Petite Encyclopédie Récréative, c. 1852. Hardcover. 632 pages. 11 x 7.5 cm. A petite version of this time-honored gastronomic classic, which is more about a conversation concerning cuisine or culinary arts - the genius is the authors entertaining analysis of casual conversation and doctrines, observations and anecdotes of every kind that may complement the pleasures of the table. Brillat-Savarin, the man who gave us the expression - "Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you who you are" - was already an old man when he published (1825), at his own expense for an audience of friends, the one book for which he would be remembered. During his lifetime, he had been neither a man of letters nor a cook, as is often thought, but a provincial lawyer who rose to become a judge of the appeals court in Paris. He died at seventy a few months after the publication of his masterpiece. Text in French.
