Title: AN ACCOUNT OF THE ARREST, TRIAL, CONVICTION AND CONFESSION OF JABEZ BOYD, FOR THE MURDER OF WESLEY PATTON. BY A GENTLEMAN OF THE NEIGHBOURHOOD
Author: [Boyd, Jabez]
Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: Philadelphia: T.K. & P.G. Collins, Printers, 1845. 15, [1 blank] pp. Stitched and lightly foxed, some pencil linings in margins. Good+. "The victim was beaten to death at Westchester, Pennsylvania, while being robbed. Boyd was arrested in church 'with a hymn book in his hand, and from which he was singing with apparent composure.' He was hanged" [McDade]. The pamphlet's author says Boyd "was brought up in ignorance, and surrounded by depraved companions." From his youth he "exhibited a cruel disposition, and a manifest delight in tormenting and witnessing the sufferings of others, and more especially those of dumb animals." Conceiving a plan to poison someone with arsenic, he tested it by giving "it to a coloured man engaged about the premises." The pamphlet recounts his pattern of criminal behavior. "Eventually to be known as the American Jekyll and Hyde, Jabez Boyd was always judged to be a highly religious man in his community, but it appears that he used his church-going activities to learn when potential victims would be abroad with sums of money on their persons or in their homes" [Steakis, Encyclopedia of American Crime 118]. FIRST EDITION. McDade 126. AI 45-953 [3]. Cohen 12386. OCLC 70114956 [3- Yale, Lib. Cong., Clements], 82107487 [1- Harv. Law School] as of February 2026.

Title: BARRETT'S AUTHENTIC EDITION. LIFE OF ABRAHAM LINCOLN, (OF ILLINOIS.) WITH A CONDENSED VIEW OF HIS MOST IMPORTANT SPEECHES; ALSO A SKETCH OF THE LIFE OF HANNIBAL HAMLIN (OF MAINE)
Author: Barrett, J.H.
Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: Cincinnati: Moore, Wilstach, Keys & Co. 25 West Fourth Street., 1860. Original cloth [rubbed at extremities, spine lettering dulled]. Port. frontis of a clean-shaven Lincoln, 'Middleton, Strobridge & Co.' in small lettering. Port. of Hamlin after page 194. 216 pp. Foxed, lacks endpapers, some doodling on blanks. Good+. "Barrett had been a delegate to the Chicago convention, and seems to have been closely associated with Lincoln for several days after its adjournment. Years later he wrote: 'He readily gave such facts as my inquiries invited or suggested.' Nor was Barrett content with the material which he obtained directly from Lincoln. He sought to provide an accurate background, and to this end turned to Filson's history of Kentucky, Judge Scott's gazetteer of Indiana, and to other source books. The result was a commendable work, the first of a long series which was to issue from the pen of this author" [Wessen, Campaign Lives of Abraham Lincoln 1860]. Wessen says the book first issued on June 27 1860, in printed wrappers and, as such, is "excessively rare;" and on July 2 in cloth with, as usual [and as here], the second state of Lincoln's portrait. FIRST EDITION. Monaghan 20. Wessen 10. Miles 396. Sabin 3616. Not in Eberstadt, Thomson, Decker.

Seller: J & J Lubrano Music Antiquarians LLC (United States)
Description: Wien: C.A. Spina [PNs C.S. 22.131 - 22.154], 1871. Large octavo. Half dark brown cloth with marbled boards, octagonal paper title label to upper. 1f. (recto illustrated title printed in dark brown, verso blank), 1f. (recto index, verso cast list), 284 pp. With secondary pagination. Engraved. With "Druck von A. Eckel in Wien" to lower inner margin of first page of music. Binding slightly worn, rubbed, and bumped. Minor internal wear. First Edition, first issue. Weinmann p. 132. Indigo und die vierzig Räuber, to a libretto by M. Steiner and others, was first performed at the Theater an der Wien on 10 February 1871. "On the advice of his first wife, the theatrically-astute mezzo-soprano Henriette ('Jetty') Treffz, Johann began experimenting with the composition of operetta during the mid-1860s, but it was not until 1871 that a stage work of his, Indigo und die vierzig Räuber, was produced. Though a box-office success, the work received mixed critical reviews; Ludwig Speidel (Fremden-Blatt, 12 February 1871) considered the piece 'promises the most splendid expectations for the future', while Hanslick (Neue Freie Presse, 12 February 1871) dismissed it as 'Strauss dance music with words added and ascribed rôles'."
