Description
London, 1943. Weil, Ernst (1891-1965). Complete set (nos. 1-33) of Weil's rare book catalogues. Approx. 1320pp. total. Plates. London: E. Weil, 1943-1965. 218 x 138 mm. Bound in 3 volumes, recent cloth, red leather spine labels; original printed wrappers present. Fine. Herbert M. Evans' Copies, with his purchase notes on the front wrappers of several catalogues and his signature or initials on one or two front wrappers. Typed letter signed from Weil to Evans, dated 19 May 1953, bound into Catalogue 20. First Editions of these important catalogues issued by one of the foremost 20th-century dealers of rare books in medicine and science. These copies are from the library of Herbert M. Evans (1882-1971), co-discoverer of Vitamin E and one of the pioneering collectors of rare medical and scientific books. Many of the catalogues in this set bear Evans's pencil or ink notes on their front covers, and Catalogue 20 (1953?) has a typed letter signed from Weil to Evans bound in, discussing a possible purchase of four items. Ernst Weil, a native of Germany, was influenced by his cousin, the bookseller Heinrich Eisemann, to collect and eventually to sell early printed books. In 1924 he founded with Hans Taeuber the firm of Taeuber & Weil in Munich; in 1933 he moved his family to London, where he entered into partnership with E. P. Goldschmidt. In 1943 he began selling books under his own name, issuing 33 catalogues before his death in 1965. Although modestly produced, his catalogues contain much research and original observation, particularly on hitherto ignored medical and scientific books. See E. Weil, "A doctor and his books: Harvey Cushing and his library. The formation of the Harvey Cushing Collection," Journal of the History of Medicine 1 (1946): 234-246. .

Description
N.p.: s.i., 1977. Very Good -. [Berkeley, CA]: [Poltroon Press], 1977. Seven xeroxed leaves folded into [28]pp. booklet side stapled at top left-hand corner. Wrappers toned and starting to chip along fold; Good to Very Good. Upper panel inscribed and signed, "Mr Kahn - The pages weren't numbered in the original. I've written in places in this copy where the Xerox failed & have numbered the pages. Philip Whalen / 9:vi:77." A crude and out-of-sequence xeroxed reproduction of Whalen's work "Prolegomena to a Study of the Universe," published by the Poltroon Press in 1976. Whalen has helpfully added in manuscript part of the text that got cut off by the xerox machine, the lines amounting to something pretty close to verse: "pissing a stream noticing him and death Kierkegaardian." (Just not very good verse.) Though difficult to establish the Mr. Kahn from the inscription, it is tempting to point to Lloyd Kahn, another stalwart of the Bay Area and the publisher of the Whole Earth Catalogue and editor-in-chief of Shelter Publications.

Description
Image by Denver photograph Kirkland dated 1911, ca. 9" x 5.5". Attractively matted, framed, and glazed. Overall size ca. 13.25" x 9.75". Some cracking and creasing but in quite good condition overall. From the collection of Marilyn Horne (b. 1934). "Tetrazzini possessed technical gifts of the highest order, a dazzling ease and agility in virtuoso passages, and a tone of warm, clarinet-like beauty, qualities vividly present in the best of her many recordings." Desmond Shawe-Taylor in Grove Music Online. A distinguished American mezzo-soprano, "Horne had a voice of extraordinary range, rich and tangy in timbre, with a stentorian chest register and an exciting top... In concert she once achieved the feat of singing in a single programme Rossini arias and Brünnhilde's Immolation Scene, proof of her exceptional versatility. Throughout her lengthy career she was an admired recitalist, singing lieder, mélodies, Spanish and American songs with equal aplomb." Alan Blyth in Grove Music Online.
