Description
1939. First Edition. WHITE, Terence Hanbury. The Sword in the Stone. London: Collins, 1938. Octavo, original gilt-stamped black cloth, original dust jacket. Housed in a custom clamshell box. $7000.First edition of the original version of White's playful and profound tale of King Arthur's youth, illustrated with numerous linecuts by the author.To craft his charming story of ""The Wart,"" the boy who is—unknown to anyone except his magical tutor, Merlyn— the future king of England, White drew inspiration more from his own experiences as a schoolmaster than from Malory's Morte d'Arthur. He also confessed in a letter that he wrote ""about what he would have liked to have happened to him when he was a boy"" (Gallix, 16). ""The characterizations are exceptionally fine and the story has a perfect blend of humor and sentimentality"" (Anatomy of Wonder 5-318). ""Few would deny its romance and humanity"" (An English Library, 56). ""One of the finest children's fantasies of the 20th century"" (Clute & Grant, 1010-11). White substantially revised the book for its 1958 inclusion in The Once and Future King. In 1963, Disney released an animated adaptation. Gallix A10. Currey, 430. See Cawthorn & Moorcock, Fantasy 100 Best 54. Book fine, dust jacket very good with light wear to edges, one small chip to top edge of front panel, closed tear to rear panel, mild toning to spine.

Description
47 pp. Small 8vo (169 x 102 mm.), modern marbled boards, gilt title on spine. [Paris: 1747]. A scarce and early auction catalogue dispersing a substantial collection of paintings belonging to a “Baron de Banckheim,” possibly a fictitious provenance. We also do not know the expert in charge of this sale, but we do see that they borrowed heavily from the celebrated catalogues of the leading art dealer of the time, Edme François Gersaint (1694-1750). The foremost scholar on Gersaint, Guillaume Glorieux, writes that a number of catalogues of this period plagiarized the authoritative biographies of artists composed by Gersaint. This catalogue offers 121 paintings, many of which are thoroughly described, with measurements provided. Most of the pictures are by Dutch and Flemish artists, such as J. van Ruisdael, Jordaens, Hondius, G. van Honthorst, etc. Nice copy. With the engraved bookplate of G[eorges] P[annier] (1853-1944), the Parisian art dealer and collector of early art auction catalogues, on the front paste-down; and stamp of the Bibliothèque Heim and the ownership inscription of “Simonet expert 1857,” both on the first page. ❧ Lugt 662. G. Glorieux, A L’Enseigne de Gersaint (2002), pp. 396-97.

About very good.
Description
Bogota, Colombia, 1836. About very good.. [2],30pp. Small quarto. Original plain wrappers. Spine ends slightly chipped, some dog-earing to corners. Minor dampstaining and dust soiling. The 1830 separation of Venezuela from Nueva Granada and the resultant breakup of Gran Colombia created numerous diplomatic headaches such as boundary settlements, treaty negotiations, and debt/credit resolutions that had once been shared. In this scarce pamphlet, members of the Colombian Congress raise constitutional objections to executive actions of the president's office regarding the division of international credit between Venezuela and Colombia. OCLC locates only one copy, at the Harvard Business Library.
