Description
44 pp. Small 4to (185 x 130 mm.), late 19th-cent. brown half-morocco signed “Knecht,” spine gilt. Paris: Lebrun, 1782. An important and rare sale catalogue, fully priced throughout and with nearly all buyers’ names in a contemporary hand. This was the third and final portion of Nogaret’s collection to be sold during his lifetime (1st: Lugt 2791; 2nd: 3153); his estate sale in 1807 (Lugt 7210) offered the inferior leftovers. In the avertissement, Lebrun, this auction’s expert, declares that this catalogue offers an unparalleled selection of Italian paintings. “[Joseph Hyacinthe François de Paule de Rigaud, comte de] Vaudreuil, whom Alexandre de Tilly remembered as the most magnificent courtier of Louis XVI’s reign, now emerged as the principal figure among a group of ambitious officeholders in the entourages of the queen and the comte d’Artois whose expenditure on luxury objects functioned, at one level, to legitimize their recent appointments to positions of power…Nogaret (1734-1806)… quickly assembled collections of paintings and furniture through the offices of the dealer Lebrun, who was also responsible for guiding Vaudreuil’s purchases…”–C. Bailey, Patriotic Taste: Collecting Modern Art in Pre-Revolutionary Paris (2002), pp. 174. The present catalogue describes 116 painting lots (by Guercino; Ludovico, Agostino, and Antonio Carracci; Correggio; Pietro da Cortona; Giorgione; Titian; Murillo; Maratta; Panini; Rubens; Rembrandt; A. Brouwer; Metsu; Cuyp; Ruysdael; van der Neer; I. van Ostade; Vouet; Poussin; S. Bourdon; Le Nain; Watteau; Lancret; Natoire; F. Boucher; Greuze; Fragonard; etc., etc.); nine sculptures; and 17 drawings and miscellaneous group lots. This copy is profusely annotated with several layers of contemporary notes. The great collectors and dealers of the time are noted as buyers in the margins — e.g. Lebrun, Donjeux, De Vouge, Langlier, Lebrun jeune, Paillet, Dulac, Quesnay, Hamon, “[Nicolas] Lenoir, arch. de l’Opera,” etc. In addition to these, in what looks like a different hand, a connoisseur has recorded the earlier auction history for a number of lots. A fine copy, with plentiful information on provenance. Engraved bookplate of G[eorges] P[annier] (1853-1944), the Parisian art dealer, and stamp of the Bibliothèque Heim on verso of title. ❧ Lugt 3392. See Blanc, Trésor de la Curiosité, Vol. II, pp. 60-62. P. Michel, Peinture et Plaisir: Les Goûts Picturaux des Collectionneurs Parisiens au XVIIIe Siècle (2010), pp. 62, 303, 307, & 312.

Description
New York: Sidney Janis Gallery, 1953. First edition. Custom box. Very Good. DUCHAMP'S FAMOUS "CATALOG" FOR THE CELEBRATED 1953 DADA RETROSPECTIVE. "Duchamp planned, organized, and installed a major historical show of international Dada at the Janis Gallery in 1953. More than two hundred works of art and documents were on view, each one identified in a Duchamp-designed 'catalog' that was itself pure Dada - a tissue-thin broadsheet with written texts (by Jean Arp, Richard Huelsenbeck, Jacques-Henri Lévesque, and Tristan Tzara) in contrasting typefaces, set in narrow columns that ran diagonally down the page. When the sheets were delivered to the gallery, Duchamp took one, crumpled it up into a ball, and told Janis to mail it as it was, and Janis did so, to the confusion of numerous art lovers who wondered why they were being mailed trash. (A wicker basket of crumpled catalogs stood beside the gallery door at the opening.) "Duchamp was represented in Janis's Dada show by four works: Tu m', his last painting on canvas; To Be Looked at (from the Other Side of the Glass) with One Eye, Close to, for Almost an Hour, the glass study he had done in Argentina; the ready-made Fresh Widow; and Janis's replica of Fountain, installed over the door at the entrance, with a sprig of mistletoe dangling from its inverted bowl." (Calvin Tomkins, Duchamp: A Biography, 378-9).
 With text by Hans Arp, Richard Huelsenbeck, Jacques-Henry Lévesque, Tristan Tzara; Arp's and Tzara's texts were translated by Duchamp. Ref. Schwarz 543. New York: Sidney Janis Gallery, 1953. Single sheet of thin tissue-like paper, 25x38 inches (96.5x63.5 cm). It's possible this example was crumpled, but it clearly has been stored flat and folded now for some time. With closed tear at center (with no loss); a few tiny tears at folds and edges. Housed in custom cloth box. Rare in such good condition. AN ESSENTIAL PIECE OF DADA HISTORY.

New. $950. * The trial process is the sum of its parts: opening argument, direct and cross examination, and summation. In Trying Cases to Win, nationally known trial lawyer Herbert J. Stern provides an overall blueprint for conduct in the courtroom as he guides the reader through each of these segments. Rather than a collection of anecdotal war stories from various trials, Stern outlines the nuts and bolts of the right-and wrong-approach, processes and strategies for every component needed for trial success. Each volume is also available separately. The complete five-volume set includes: Voir Dire and Opening Argument, Direct Examination, Cross Examination, Summation, Anatomy of a Trial (co-authored with Professor Stephen A. Saltzburg). Herbert J. Stern is a highly regarded trial lawyer and accomplished teacher of trial techniques. A partner and founding member in the New Jersey law firm of Stern & Kilcullen, Stern is a former Federal Judge, having served as United States district judge for the District of New Jersey from 1974 to 1987. He established his reputation as an advocate while serving as a trial attorney with the Organized Crime and Racketeering Section of the United States Department of Justice from 1965 to 1969 and as United States attorney for the District of New Jersey from 1970 to 1974 when he won a national reputation for unprecedented convictions of numerous public officials. He was founder and Co-Director of the Advocacy Institute at the University of Virginia School of Law from 1980 to the present. He was Special Counsel for Hon. Lawrence Walsh, Independent Counsel, Iran-Contra Prosecution, 1988. Judge Stern was the subject of the book, Tiger in the Court (Chicago: Playboy Press, 1973). He is the author of Judgment in Berlin (New York: Universe Books, 1984) which was made into a major motion picture with Sean Penn, and Martin Sheen playing Judge Stern; and, most recently, Diary of a DA: The True Story of the Prosecutor Who Took On the Mob, Fought Corruption, and Won (New York: Skyhorse Pu.

Description
Edinburgh: printed for Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, London; and for Archibald Constable and Co., and John Ballantyne, Bookseller to the King, Edinburgh, 1820. First Edition. 3 vols. 1st edition. Original boards and labels, rebacked with new endpapers (a fitting match). Soiled and worn else very good, but troublesome to weigh against other sets, because variables won’t and constants aren’t. Just after publishing Ivanhoe, Scott returned to his Scottish roots for this novel. The monastery of the title is Saint Mary’s Cistercian Abbey and the action is mostly within or surrounding it. The time is the Scottish Reformation (16th century) when the religious question had not been settled, but Scott wrote as the detached narrator, and presents its resolution as inevitable. The characters are (as is the custom in historical romance) a gathering (or a compaction) of real and fictional figures, playing out their personal, petty roles, rendered (and contrasted) against the great events surrounding them, as worldly life goes on, oblivious to all private vicissitudes and recoveries. The only grown–up hero, with a marginally objective sense of the times, is the Catholic Benedictine/Cistercian monk, Sub-Prior Eustace (once William Allan) who fights for his lost cause as stubbornly and gallantly, as would Robert E. Lee, 300 years later.
