Description
London: Horizon, 1944. First edition, hardcover issue, one of 500 copies printed on Barcham Green handmade paper by the Curwen Press. Of the 1000 sets of sheets printed, 500 were reportedly bound in cloth and 500 were bound in wrappers. Presentation copy, inscribed by Connolly to his friend Tom Driberg on the front free endpaper: "Tom with much love / from Cyril - " Tom Driberg, later ennobled as Baron Bradwell of Bradwell, a poet in his youth, a journalist (author of "The Talk of London" column under the pseudonym of "William Hickey" in the Daily Express), a member of the British Communist Party and later long-standing Labour MP (and Chairman of the Labour Party), the author of a sympathetic account of Guy Burgess and a suspected spy, a promiscuous homosexual and High Church Anglican, Driberg is the subject of a biography by Francis Wheen entitled The Soul of Indiscretion: Tom Driberg, Poet, Philanderer, Legislator and Outlaw - His Life and Indiscretions. One of the most civilized, and civilizing, of modern books, The Unquiet Grave is a compilation of the "doubts and reflections of a year" on "art, love, nature and religion." Begun in 1940, "The Unquiet Grave," as Connolly reflected ten years later in the introduction to the revised edition, "is inevitably a war-book." Although it was an attempt "to extricate himself from the war and to escape from his time and place into the bright empyrean of European thought," it was also an attempt to alleviate "a private grief - a separation for which he felt himself to blame ... a struggle against propaganda ... and an optimistic determination to prove how near and necessary to us were the minds and culture of those across the channel who then seemed quite cut off from us, perhaps for ever. To evoke a French beach at that time was to be reminded that beaches did not exist for mines and pill-boxes and barbed wire but for us to bathe from and that, one day, we would enjoy them again." "As a signal of distress from one human being to another The Unquiet Grave went unanswered, but the suffering was alleviated. As a demonstration of the power of words, however, ... the work was an object-lesson. ... ‘La pensee console de tout'." Virtually the entire book is quotable, a fact to which Ernest Hemingway attested when he wrote: "It is a book which, no matter how many readers it will have, will never have enough.

Andreas, Valerius [1588-1655], Editor. Commentarius ad Institutionum Juris Civilis Libros IV. Brevis, Analyticus, Methodicus, Quaestionibus Controversis Passim Insertis: Cum Additionibus Perpetuis, Ex Jure Potissimum Consuetudinario Harum Vicinarumque Provinciarum, Auctore Valerio Andrea, Desselio. Louvain: Typis Hieronymi Nempaei, 1653. [xii], 758, [20] pp. Quarto (10" x 7-1/4"; 25 x 18 cm). Contemporary vellum with yapp-style fore-edges and later cloth ties, marbled paper pasted to boards, spine, with later lettering piece and later gilt owner (?) name (Desselio), colored to resemble calf, speckled edges. Light rubbing to boards, moderate rubbing to extremities, vellum beginning to crack through pastedowns, which have some minor worming, along with the hinges, later owner stamp of Xavier Tremblay to endleaves. Title page printed in red and black, Moderate toning to text, somewhat heavier in places, neat early underlining to a few leaves, some worming to pastedowns, library stamps to endleaves and a few other places. A very good copy of a scarce title. $750. * First edition. This is the first edition of the celebrated commentary on Justinian's Institutes by Hendrik Zoes, a preeminent Dutch humanist jurist and rector of the University of Louvain. Zoes was a central figure in the 17th-century legal landscape; his commentaries on the Code, Digest, and the Decretals of Gregory IX were staple texts in European legal education for decades. This edition is particularly notable for the "perpetual additions" by the editor, Valerius Andreas (Dessel), which integrate the jus commune with the customary laws (jure consuetudinario) of the Low Countries. This synthesis of Roman law and local practice highlights the practical application of Humanist jurisprudence in the early modern period. Tremblay [1971-2011] was a Sorbonne-educated French linguist renowned for his contributions to Iranian and Indo-European studies. He won two important prizes in his field during his brief life: the Figdor Prize and the Prix Emile Benveniste. All 17th-century editions of Zoes's Institutionum are scarce. OCLC locates no copies of this 1653 first ed.

2005. ISBN-13: 9781584774730; ISBN-10: 1584774738. Angell, Joseph K., and Samuel Ames. [Lathrop, John, Editor]. Treatise on the Law of Private Corporations Aggregate. Revised, Corrected and Enlarged. Originally published: Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 1861. lvi, 810 pp. Reprinted 2005 by the Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584774730; ISBN-10: 1584774738. Hardcover. New. $69.95 * Reprint of the seventh edition. The first American treatise on the subject, it departed from English models to address the unique characteristics of the American corporation in the years after 1815, an era of unprecedented growth that was encouraged by the courts. It was the standard treatise of its day. In his Legal Bibliography (1847) Marvin says it was "undoubtedly the best work... an American lawyer can possess" and notes that "Chancellor Kent highly recommends the book" (63). The first edition was published in 1832; the final edition was published in 1882. The seventh edition is desirable because it summarizes the state of the field before it was revolutionized by the Civil War economy and the rise of modern corporate capitalism after 1865.

Mikhail Tal, Walter Browne and Roman Hernandez all tied for fourth through sixth with scores of 9.Condition:Edge wear, stain at head hinge, some internal soiling, corners bumped, some scribbling internally where the signer was trying to get the pen to work, except for Vasily Smyslov, signed by each of the contestants pictures who signed the program else a good to very good copy.

c. 1930s. Paperback. Very Good+. Two unique albums. (No. 1) Cloth-covered flexible boards, bound with thin black rope, typed label on inside front cover (see title); oblong 8vo (11.25 x 7.25 inches); unpaginated (approx. pp. 50), black heavy cardstock leaves with b/w photographs (silver gelatin prints) affixed with corner mounts. (No. 2) Green wraps, bound with thin green rope, typed label on inside front cover (see title); oblong 8vo (11.5 x 8 inches); unpaginated, (approx. pp. 50), grey heavy cardstock leaves with silver gelatin prints affixed with corner mounts or directly to the pages, many with tipped-on handwritten labels. Photo sizes range from 1.5-by-2.5 inches up to 3.5-by-4.5 inches, with anywhere from 2 to 9 photos per page -- over 100 images total in each volume, in sepia and b/w. Covers a bit wrinkled and chipped along the edges; leaves lightly rubbed at corners; a few images lightly rubbed or faded, though in excellent condition overall. Some light silvering here and there, rather nicely so. Two photo albums, composed mostly of city- and landscapes, and images of Navy vessels. It is almost certain that our photographer is himself in the Navy, considering the extent of his travels and the nature of the photographs, which are usually aimed at a passive subject -- a ship, a landscape. The first album includes a few pictures of the sailors aboard their ship, posing as a loose group in their bunks, or a uniformed group on deck. The rest of the images (spread across both volumes) that include people, usually show them going about their business (a street market, a young man climbing a palm tree), with only a few casual group portraits of men and women, either in uniform or in civilian clothing. While the title labels are specific to China, Japan, New York, Egypt, etc., the "Photos Diverses" include other major world cities (it appears as though our photographer visits Italy and France), what appears to be barracks, the inside of a factory, the occasional landmark or artifact, and, again, ships. A lot of ships -- naval and otherwise -- from afar or from the deck.
