Title: Manuscript on paper on mine surveying, with 12 large & fine folding manuscript plates, heightened in grey, blue, pink, & yellow wash
Author: (CLAUSTHAL: MINE SURVEYING)
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: 40 leaves (the final blank). Small folio (332 x 210 mm.), orig. paste-paper boards (spine & extremities somewhat worn), uncut. [Clausthal?: ca. 1815]. A fine and legible manuscript instructional manual on techniques and problems of mine surveying. The text is divided into five chapters: “Von der Vorbereitung zum Markscheiden” (“On preparations for measuring the area in which mining may be carried out”), “Von Bennenung der Gänge und Klüfte” (“On the naming of seams and fissures”), “Vom Observiren” (“On Observations”), “Vom Vermaß oder Verbestimmung eines Grubenfelds” (“On measuring and defining a mining claim”), and “Von Wasserfällen, Wasserleitungen und Tiefbau” (“On waterfalls, water conduits and underground mining”). This manuscript was probably prepared in 1815 — plate X has the entry “Markscheide 1.7.15“ — at the newly founded mining school at Clausthal, the famous mining town of the Harz Mountains in Lower Saxony (the fine plates name mining locations in the area). The most attractive plates — all of which contain a number of figures — depict mine shafts, mine surveying methods, cartographical considerations, techniques of prospecting and identification of mineral deposits, problems of ownership rights, and the constant problems of flooding. All the plates are finely drawn in black ink and have been heightened in grey, blue, pink, and yellow wash. Internally fine. Stamp of Georg Riemschneider (1888-1946), “Oberbergrat” of Clausthal-Zellerfeld.

CONFIDENCE by James, Henry Jr.

Title: CONFIDENCE
Author: James, Henry Jr.
Seller: Sumner & Stillman (United States)
Description: 1880. [a fine copy] Boston: Houghton, Osgood and Company, 1880. Original green cloth, beveled. First American Edition, which consisted of 1500 copies -- issued two months after the 500-copy English two-decker (which is now quite scarce). And what is interesting is that in the ensuing weeks [following his brother William's marriage], Henry wrote his worst novel... it bears the uncommonly ineffectual title of CONFIDENCE. Its plot is like an old eighteenth century comedy, or a theme for a strange three-figure ballet, in which two young men... become involved with a woman named Angela. First, one of the young men loves Angela; she rejects him and he marries someone else. Then the other young man wants to marry her. She accepts him, and in the climax there is much dashing about and a frantic scene of jealousy in which the first young man offers to divorce his wife if Angela will still have him... [Edel] This copy is in the primary binding (which comes in either green or terra-cotta, without priority), with "Houghton, Osgood & Co." rather than the later "Houghton Mifflin & Co." at the foot of the spine. This is a remarkably fine, bright copy, with just the merest hint of speckling of the green cloth. Although CONFIDENCE has not been as difficult to find as some of the other early James titles, copies like this are becoming rather scarce. Supino 11.4.0; Edel & Laurence A11b. Provenance: the front flyleaf and the title margin bear the penciled signature of the first owner -- J[ohn]. H[enry]. Oglesby [1822-1888], signed in New Orleans on July 4, 1880.
