Title: Lemkovina: Map of Lemkovina or West Carpatho-Russia
Author: [Eastern European Immigration]. [Maps]
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: Philadelphia: Lemko Press, 1929. Very good.. Lithographed folding map, approximately 32 x 40 inches, printed in pink and black. Housed in original red wrappers printed in black. Modest wear along folds, a couple of small separations at crossfolds, light marginal toning. Wrappers with minor spine and edge wear. An extremely rare map of "Lemkovina," the homeland of the Lemko, an Eastern Slavic people from the Central Carpathian Mountains (where Poland, Slovakia and Ukraine meet in the present day). From the late-19th century to the 1920s, tens of thousands of Lemkos immigrated to the Unites States and Canada -- fleeing war, oppression and seeking better economic opportunities. Once in the United States, Lemko intellectuals founded institutions to preserve and promote Lemko culture in the New World and to lobby for sovereignty of the Lemko homeland. The present large-format map is an intriguing artifact of the Lemko-American immigrant experience. The map was drafted by the Lemko-American activist Dmitriy Vislocky and published by the Lemko Press in Philadelphia in 1929; it showcases the areas where the Lemko population prevailed, as well as areas of mixed Lemko-Slovakian and Lemko-Polish demographics; while it does not explicitly define Lemkovina as a sovereign state, its rhetorical direction is nevertheless clear. The Lemko are an Eastern Slavic people who originate from a large area along both slopes of the Central Carpathian Mountains, in a region traditionally often referred to as "West Carpatho-Russia," located along the eastern stretch of today's border of Poland and Slovakia, and extending slightly east into Ukraine. The Lemko language is akin to Ukrainian and is written in Cyrillic. Traditionally many consider the Lemkos to be a subgroup of Russians or Ukrainians, although many Lemkos have tended to self-identify as a distinct ethnicity. The Lemkos have vibrant and sophisticated cultural traditions, with distinct music, folklore, clothing and customs. Most Lemkos are Eastern rite or Byzantine-rite Catholics, although some have converted to the Eastern Orthodox faith. The period leading up to, during, and after World War I was traumatic for the Lemkos. The group splintered their loyalties, with some supporting the Russians (both Red and White factions), while others were sympathetic to Ukrainian nationalism, and some (either voluntarily or under coercion) were allied with Austria-Hungary. Lemkos caught on the wrong side of events often met with cruel fates. In the aftermath of the war, Lemkos who supported the Red Russians formed the "Lemko-Rusyn People's Republic" (which existed from December 1918 to March 1920), a state that took in part of the northern slope of the Central Carpathians of Lemkovina. Meanwhile, further to the east was the pro-Ukrainian "Eastern Lemko Republic" (November 1918 to January 24, 1919). However, these republics were soon extinguished, with all Lemkovina being divided between Czechoslovakia and Poland. The Lemkos in Poland would have a very difficult time, as the Polish state considered them disloyal. Eventually they were forcibly displaced from their homeland. Lemkos began to immigrate to the United States and Canada in the late 19th century, in good part due to economic opportunities. The greatest center of activity for Lemko peoples in North America was in Pennsylvania, although large communities could be found across the American Northeast and Midwest, as well as in places such as Toronto, Canada. Many Lemkos found decent jobs, initially in the burgeoning manufacturing industry. Smaller, but still significant Lemko communities developed as far away as Colorado and Alberta, where they were engaged in the ranching and mining industries. Today, hundreds of thousands of North Americans count Lemko ancestry. Lemkos adjusted very well to life across the Atlantic, and generally met with success. The most famous of all Lemko-Americans was the artist Andy Warhol (1928-1987), who was born in Pittsburgh, the son of Lemko immigrant parents. In the 1920s, Lemko intellectuals in America, largely based in Pennsylvania, formed a movement to preserve Lemko culture, while lobbying for the eventual resurrection of an autonomous (if not sovereign) Lemko homeland – Lemkovina. However, there was a great deal of internecine dispute over the nature of this proposed state, as some favored a pro-Ukraine sovereign entity, while others wanted it to be Soviet satellite (yet, the dream of a future sovereign Lemko nation, of any sort, was never to be realized, as powers ranging from the Czechoslovak and Polish governments to Hitler and Stalin would never allow it). Lemko culture flourished in the U.S. and Canada, centered around Lemko halls and churches, and beginning in the 1920s, a handful of small printing presses were established to serve and educate the community, issuing Lemko-language almanacs, primers, newspapers, and pamphlets. One of the most important of these houses was the Lemko Press of Philadelphia, which under the leadership of Dmitriy Vislocky, published the Lemko Gazette. The circle of the Lemko Press had a pronounced Ukrainophone allegiance and was at odds with some other Lemko-North American groups. As a major part of their campaign to define "Lemkovina" and call for its eventual nationhood (presumably as a pro-Ukrainian sovereign state in opposition to both the Soviets and Poland), Dmitriy Vislocky and the Lemko Press produced the present map. As best as we are aware, it is the only large format map of the period to specifically show Lemkovina as a distinct entity, and being published in Philadelphia, it stands as a remarkable feat of Lemko-American immigrant cartography. The large format map, executed to the ample scale of 1:200,000, with text in Cyrillic, and lithographed from a hand-drawn template, shows the Polish-Slovakian frontier region (which today extends east into Ukraine), along the Central Carpathian Mountains, an area traditionally sometimes known as "West Carpatho-Russia." A very rugged and rural area, it is roughly framed by the the Dunajec River in the west, and the San and Uzh Rivers in the east, and with the cities of Nowy S cz, Poland, to the northwest, and Košice, Slovakia, to the southeast. The map delineates all major rivers, roads and railways and locates cities, towns and villages. The legend below the title explains the color-coding employed to define demographic areas. Territory shaded in bold pink are of majority ‘Russian’ [meaning Lemko and Rusyn] population (i.e., core Lemkovina), while the areas covered by southwest-northeast hashed lines are of mixed Lemko/Rusyn-Slovakian population and the areas with northwest-southeast hashed lines are of mixed Lemko/Rusyn-Polish population. Beyond are labeled the lands of Poland (to the north), Slovakia (to the south), Eastern Galicia (to the northeast) and Sub-Karpatsky Russia (Ukraine, to the southwest), while the map defines the Polish-Czechoslovak border as it was then internationally recognized. While the map does not explicitly state that Lemkovina is a country, Dmitriy Vislocky’s sovereignist direction of travel is nevertheless clear. The present map is extremely rare. It was likely issued in only a small print run and the survival rate of such fragile, ephemeral American immigrant publications is very low. We can trace only a single institutional example of the map, held by the David Rumsey Map Collection at Stanford University. Beyond that we are aware of only a single other example as having appeared on the market in the last twenty-five years. David Rumsey Map Collection (Stanford University): 11153.000.

Title: Report to Mr. Asa Keyes District Attorney, Los Angeles County, California on the Failure of the St. Francis Dam
Author: [California]
Seller: McBride Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Good plus.
Description: Los Angeles, 1928. Good plus.. [4],23 leaves, plus forty-six photographs. Folio. Contemporary black leatherette, cover gilt. Spine ends chipped and worn, leather coming away from boards, extremities worn. Small pen notation to title page, contemporary ink stamps in text. Light wear. Report compiled by District Attorney Asa Keyes following the tragic and catastrophic failure of the St. Francis Dam. The St. Francis Dam was a concrete gravity dam located in the San Francisquito Canyon in northern Los Angeles County, built between 1924 and 1926. Just before midnight on March 17, 1928, the dam failed, killing at least 431 people in the subsequent flood. It is considered one of the worst American civil engineering disasters of the 20th century, and the third-greatest loss of life in California history. In the immediate aftermath of the disaster, officials at all levels began enquiries into the causes. This typescript report, produced within a month of the collapse and flood, was ordered by Keyes as part of his investigations. The text is accompanied by six charts and thirty-six photographic views with captions. Though there were many theories about the cause of the collapse, experts concluded that the failure was due to defective foundation materials, "which, while reasonably hard when dry, became soft and yielding when saturated with water." The dam's failure ended the career of William Mulholland, the general manager and chief engineer of the Bureau of Water Works and Supply, which is now the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power. When asked by Keyes if he would build the dam on the same spot again, Mulholland replied, "No, I must be frank and say that now I would not." Formerly the property of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, this piece was acquired by author Tom Zimmerman (along with other source material) for his book on the city, Paradise Promoted: The Booster Campaign That Created Los Angeles, 1870-1930 (2008).

Title: A Collection of Above Three Hundred Receipts in Cookery, Physick and Surgery; for the Use of all Good Wives, Tender Mothers, and Careful Nurses
Author: [Kettilby, Mary]; by Several Hands (anon.)
Seller: Rabelais - Fine Books on Food & Drink (United States)
Description: London: For Richard Wilkin, 1714. Octavo (19 x 12.5 cm.), [16], 218, [13] pages. FIRST EDITION. “Mary Kettilby’s collection of cookery recipes and medicinal and home remedies, from a tasty “green-pease soop, without meat” to gooseberry wine. Households that could not afford French cooks or French cooking came to form a growing audience for books by women that contained unpretentious recipes cut to suit a less costly cloth, for pickling and collaring rather than ragouts. Where Hannah Woolley had led, plenty of female cooks with their eye on the profitable middle market followed, with books like Mary Kettilby’s collection of recipes (1714) and Eliza Smith’s Compleat Housewife (1734)” Colquhoun, Taste: The Story of Britain through its Cookery (2015)). Kettilby’s book purported to be a collective effort: the preface stating that ‘a Number of very Curious and Delicate House-wives Club’d to furnish out this Collection’. Maclean however (pages 79-82) doubts this, and notes that evidence from later editions indicate Kettilby to be the main author. Apart from the Preface, there is no introduction of any sort: the recipes follow immediately after the chapter headings. The book is clearly divided into chapters of recipes for food and for remedies, but within the chapters there is no definite structure. For example, the first chapter begins with six recipes for soups, followed by recipes for collared beef, ‘French-Cutlets’, collared mutton, stewed pigeons, broiled pigeons, dressed turbot, and then patties ‘for a Dish of Fish’. The recipes are given either as goals, as ‘To make Hogs-Puddings’, or as titles, sometimes with descriptions, as ‘A very good Tansy’. Quantities are given in whichever units are convenient, as ‘a Gallon of grated Bread’, ‘three Pounds of Currants’, or ‘nine Eggs’. Often, quantities rely on the cook’s judgment, as ‘as much Sugar as will make it very sweet’. Temperatures and timings are given when necessary, as ‘a cool Oven: Half an Hour bakes it’. Later binding in 19th century style. Half-calf, gilt-decorated spine, marbled endpapers. The front paste-down contains the bookplates of two significant culinary collections: Thomas Scruggs & Margaret Cook, and Marian Hatch. The Hatch bookplate was designed and engraved by British engraver Alfred J. Downey. With the bookseller's ticket of Philip C. Duschnes to the rear pastedown. Ink ownership mark to half-title, "1718, Eliseab[?]; and inscription on final page of text, "[illeg.] near New College Oxford". [OCLC locates eighteen copies; Bitting, page 258; Cagle 789; Maclean, pages 79-82; Oxford, page 54; Wellcome II, page 389].

Description: Eight folding engraved plates. xviii, 524, [4], 29 pp. Small 8vo, cont. polished calf, spine gilt, red morocco lettering piece on spine. Paris: L.E. Ganeau, 1750. First edition, a translation by Louis Anne Lavirotte, of Needham’s Account of some New Microscopical Discoveries (1745) and his Observations upon the General Composition and Decomposition of Animal and Vegetable Substances (1749). This edition contains substantial additions by Needham which appear here for the first time, including his “forward-looking theory of reproduction”–D.S.B., X, p. 9. The first English Catholic priest to be elected to the Royal Society of London, Needham (1713-81), developed a theory of generation in this work which placed him in the vitalist camp through its reliance on principles peculiar to living things and its assignment of self-patterning powers to matter. It differed from Buffon’s in its denial of chance combinations of mathematically countable genetic traits. The final 29 pages — “Description et Usage du Microscope” — discuss a Cuff-style microscope developed by Passement. Its parts are illustrated on one of the plates. Fine copy with the bookplate of Etienne François Dutour de Salvert (1711-89), experimental physicist, geologist, and botanist from Riom. He wrote several monographs on electricity and natural history and corresponded with a wide range of scientists, including Nollet, Lavoisier, d’Alembert, and Buffon. ❧ Needham, History of Embryology, p. 211.

Description: Liverpool: James and Woodburn, Printers, 1844. Leather bound. 200pp. Octavo [21.5 cm] 3/4 calf over marbled boards. Very Good. Light rubbing to extremities. Front joint splitting at head and foot. Title page is loose and laid in. Sporadic foxing to endsheets and pastedown. End sheets and paste downs chipped at foot with subtle losses. This Millennial Star contains the "Trial of Sidney Rigdon" and "Awful Assassination". The trial of Sidney Rigdon pertains to elder Rigdon ordaining his own "Prophets, Priests and Kings". Brigham Young compares Rigdon and his actions to those of James Strang and the Strangites. The supplement, 'Awful Assassination' brought the details of the Smith brothers martyrdom to the British and European Saints. The Millennial Star during this time period was one of the only LDS periodicals, and this supplement is where many of the scattered faithful would have received the news of the Prophet Joseph Smith's murder.
