Title: The Celebrated Lecture on Heads; which has been exhibited upwards of one hundred successive nights, to crowded audiences, and met with the most universal applause.
Author: STEVENS, George Alexander.]
Seller: Savoy Books (United States)
Description: London: For J. Pridden Book. [1765.]. Folio, stitched, uncut. Pp. 9, (1). Folding engraved frontis. Creased at center, with a light stain at inner margin. A very good copy. "Fifth edition." An early folio edition from the first year of publication of an oft-printed comic staple of 18th century theater, generally cited as the first English comic monologue. Stevens was an actor and author of a libertine bent, who scored a huge success with this parody of an academic lecture on physiognomy, propped with fifty-one papier mache heads. He played it throughout his career, touring England, Ireland and America, and it was widely imitated and reprinted into the 19th century. The imposing frontispiece, dated September 25, 1765 in the plate, recreates Steven's presentation for posterity, showing him before his collection of exemplary heads. Of this edition, ESTC locates the BL copy only, stating in error "first published... in 1764," but failing to record any such edition, and indeed none exists with that date. A total of four of these folio editions printed in double columns were issued by Pridden, two undated, including the present "fifth" edition, which may well be the first such, and two from 1766. All are rare..

Seller: Between the Covers- Rare Books, Inc. ABAA (United States)
Condition: Near Fine
Description: Sweden, 1940. Softcover. Near Fine. Oblong quarto measuring 12" x 9". String-tied brown paper with blind stamped illustrations on the cover. Contains 40 sepia-toned or black and white gelatin silver photographs measuring between 1.5" x 1.75" and 4" x 6" without captions. Album is very good with creasing, chips, and rubbing with very good photographs with some tears. A photo album kept by a woman in Sweden between 1930 and the mid 1940s. The album depicts the young woman and her family and friends in a variety of poses and locations. Many of the photos show women engaged in recreation in fields, having picnics, and posing in family gardens. The women are in fashionable clothes and hats smiling and demurely posing when they weren't frolicking and laying about in pastures. One section depicts the girls at a garden party in white dresses. A photo in this series shows a girl playing an accordion for her friends. Another group of photos show the women posing for portraits in costumes which include powdered wigs and 18th Century period style dress with the girls playing the male and female roles. Two photos show men in a Swedish military uniforms posed for portraits. One photo shows a woman writing at a desk in a store with a window in the background which reads, "aktiebolag," which is Swedish for corporation. A modest but interesting collection of images of a young woman and her friends and family in Sweden in the 1930s and 40s.

Description: St. Pétersbourg: W. Bessel & Cie [PN 671], 1880. Quarto. Original gray publisher's printed wrappers with catalogue of instrumental works to verso of lower. [i] (title), 2-156 pp. Small oval publisher's handstamp to foot of title. Wrappers considerably worn and chipped with significant losses to margins, affecting price list and content to lower outer portion; detached, with spine and blank inner margin reinforced with black cloth tape. Minor loss to blank lower outer corners of first ca. 15 leaves; some signatures loose. Revised by Rimsky-Korsakov and Glazunov, printed from plates of the first, ca. 1877, edition. "The B minor Symphony is the most important large-scale work to be completed entirely by Borodin himself, and one of his greatest works. It is a close relative of both Prince Igor and the abortive Mlada, two theatre works which diverted the composer's attention, off and on, during the symphony's extended gestation period. According to memoirs of Nikolay Kashkin, the symphony's striking opening theme originated in an abandoned chorus of Polovtsians, and Borodin's principal Soviet biographer has cited several other instances of melodic congruence between Igor or Mladaand the symphony. ... The first movement constitutes one of Borodin's most imaginative sonata forms. Its opening theme, brusque and epigrammatic, combines both the major and minor 3rd above the tonic, and except for the E♮ (an upper neighbour) constitutes an octatonic subcollection. ... Other instances of interplay between major and minor 3rd, found scattered throughout the symphony, may be traced to this terse opening theme. ... The lyrical second theme (first heard in the conventional key of D major) provides effective contrast and acts as a cyclic element in the symphony, easily recognized in the trio of the scherzo, more distantly echoed in the finale. ... The mercurial scherzo, in F major, draws much of its effect from the rhythmic contrast between the two principal ideas, the first firmly on the beat, the second syncopated. The Andante begins with one of Borodin's most serene melodies, its second phrase embodying the ornamental grace notes typical of his lyric tunes. This memorable melody is heard in varying orchestrations, in a free sectional design; some of the contrasting material subtly incorporates the interplay between minor and major 3rds found in the first movement. The finale is another sonata movement, freer than the first; perhaps its most striking moment is a whole-tone passage from the development, the theme of which is echoed in both Mlada and the prologue of Prince Igor." Robert W. Oldani in Grove Music Online.
