Title: The Rare Autograph Of Jean De Lamberville, The French Jesuit Missionary Who Worked With The Five Nations
Author: JEAN DE LAMBERVILLE
Seller: Stuart Lutz Historic Documents, Inc. (United States)
Description: JEAN DE LAMBERVILLE (1633-1714). Lamberville was a French Jesuit priest who landed in New France in 1669 and was largely stationed in Montreal. He was an important missionary to the Onondagas and converted their chief, and he was a conduit between the Five Nations and the European settlers. He was one of the most influential Frenchman in the New World.ADS. 1pg. 7 x 5 . July 15, 1705. Paris. An autograph document signed Jean De Lamberville twice, once in the text and once at the conclusion. Writing in French, Lamberville penned: I, the undersigned Jean De Lamberville, priest of the company of Jesus and attorney of the mission of said company in New France, called Canada, in North America, confess to have received of the sum of eighty livres for the last six months of the year 1705 on account of 800 livres rent [government obligation], belonging to said mission and issued on the 7th of January 1682. For the said eighty livres I discharge Mr. Layeur and all others. Done at Paris the fifteenth of July, 1705. Jean De Lamberville SJP. Father Lamberville likely returned to France around 1700 and remained in France for the rest of his life. The statement is written on vellum and has a red wax seal in the lower right corner that was largely removed. There is a stamp at the top stating that it came from the Department of Rents in Paris, and a small circular hole in the exact center of the document where two folds merged. Generally, autographs of New World missionaries are very difficult to find. According to the RareBookHub, the last Lamberville signed document to sell at auction occurred in 1924, attesting to their rarity.

Title: The Year Before Jack Kennedy Ran For President, Jackie Kennedy Sends A Letter To Evelyn Lincoln, Requesting International Magazine Subscriptions

An autograph letter by Jackie Kennedy written to noted secretary Evelyn Lincoln.

Every January will you get us a 6 month subscription to them (except for 2 magazies we get 12 months). Just keep this listhave to bother to tell you again in Jan.

Seller: ZH BOOKS (United States)
Description: St. Petersburg: Tipografiia P. O. Panteleeva (Pechatano po Rasporiazheniiu Voennago Ministerstva), 1902. Softcover. First edition, 1 of 3300 copies; 9 x 11; pp. I-XI, [1], 1-679; wraps illustrated in gilt, red, and black by graphic artist Nikolai Samokish (1860 - 1944); stitching perished, gatherings mostly intact; wraps detached with some loss of paper to margins (more pronounced on back wrap); text clean; foxing mostly to tissue guards covering illustrations; numerous plates, diagrams, and colored maps (some large fold-out); good.An ambitious and massive undertaking, the book was published in commemoration of the 100th anniversary of the establishment of the Russian Ministry of War. Created in 1802 as the Ministry of Ground Armed Forces during the Government Reform of Alexander the First. It was renamed in 1815. In May of 1900, Emperor Nicholas the Second declared that a historical work should be written through documents from all the different departments of the ministry. It soon became apparent that given the amount of material, housed at various institutions in Moscow and St. Petersburg, the cost of printing, and the scope of research needed would make the completion of the project in two years impossible. It was made even more difficult by the fact that to be fully appreciated, the work needed to include chapters on the development and growth of the Russian military before the Ministry of War was officially established in 1802. In the end, it was decided that a description of the development of the corresponding branch would precede each section and in turn each section would be divided into parts according to the ruling royal figure and the historic events associated with him/her. Later on, an appendix and more volumes would be published but none could outshine this first inaugural publication.Expenses were not spared illustrating the volume. The wraps illustrations, and the vignettes and engravings at beginning and end of each chapter were created by Nikolai Samokish - a respected artist who specialized in battle scenes. He was also a Professor at the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts in the early 1900s and was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor. The plates, some photographic and others engraved, depicted all the major royal and military figures of the times. The editor, compiler, and researchers were themselves prominent names and heads of military departments.

Description: Kharkiv: Proletar, 1928. First Edition. Very good. First edition, 1 of 2000 copies; 6 1/4 x 4 3/4; pp. [2], 5-111, [1]; pictorial wraps with futurist design, signed in-plate AC (unatributed); small nicks to tips of spine; a short, closed cut to fore-edge of front wrap and a few creases; partially unopened; in very good condition.Mykhail (Mykhailo) Semenko (1892 - 1937) was a poet, founder of Ukrainian Futurism, and one of the lead figures of the Executed Renaissance (a generation of outwardly pro-Soviet, Ukrainian intellectuals, who would nevertheless refuse to bow to Stalin's policy of Russification of Ukraine and would be executed en masse). Semenko would found a number of important futurist groups, including Aspanfut, Komunkult, Nova Generatsiia, and Kverofuturism (the latter popularly known in English as Panfuturism) and would edit various almanacs and journals. Severely criticized for his work, Semenko would abandon Futurism and become a poet of the Bolshevik Revolution, the current book being the first example of his entirely-new drection of poetry. Despite that, he would be arrested and executed by NKVD in the Solovki Prison Camp during the Great Purge. OCLC listing one copy at the University of Manitoba; none in the trade.
