Description
New York: Limited Editions Club, 1961. Limited edition. Hardcover. good+ to near fine. 1/1500. Folio. xix, 177pp, [1]. Maroon buckram slip case, red label with gilt lettering on spine. Red leather over brown cloth boards, gilt letter "O" on front cover. Tan cloth label with gilt lettering mounted on spine. Frontispiece. This limited edition, #87 of 1500 copies hand numbered and signed by illustrator Michael Ayrton at colophon, contains finely printed illustrations in b/w and color reproduced in high quality photogravure throughout. The Oresteia (Ancient Greek: Ὀρέστεια) is a trilogy of Greek tragedies written by Aeschylus in the 5th century BC, concerning the murder of Agamemnon by Clytemnestra, the murder of Clytemnestra by Orestes, the trial of Orestes, the end of the curse on the House of Atreus and pacification of the Erinyes. The trilogy—consisting of Agamemnon (Ἀγαμέμνων), The Libation Bearers (Χοηφóρoι), and The Eumenides (Εὐμενίδες)—also shows how the Greek gods interacted with the characters and influenced their decisions pertaining to events and disputes. The only extant example of an ancient Greek theatre trilogy, the Oresteia won first prize at the Dionysia festival in 458 BC. The principal themes of the trilogy include the contrast between revenge and justice, as well as the transition from personal vendetta to organized litigation. Oresteia originally included a satyr play, Proteus (Πρωτεύς), following the tragic trilogy, but all except a single line of Proteus has been lost. Slipcase with chip lower right front cover, scratches, staining and water stains to slipcase. Binding with light rubbing along hinge of spine and staining to cloth label. Slip case in good, binding in very good-, interior in near fine condition overall.

Gallegos, Juan Marinello. Title piece design by Miguel Prieto. The pages of this magazine were the first major typografic design by Prieto. See: "Miguel Prieto: Diseño Grafico", pg. 56. Sold as set El origen de la revista Romance guarda estrecha relación con la Guerra Civil Española (1936-1939), que producirá la llamada Literatura del Exilio español. Dos amigos republicanos, Antonio Sánchez Barbudo y Lorenzo Varela, se propusieron desde la península, fundar una revista ya establecidos en México como exiliados. La nota distintiva de la publicación sería recoger las expresiones del movimiento cultural hispanoamericano El primer número apareció a los cinco meses de iniciada la Segunda Guerra Mundial. La revista fue una de las primeras ediciones de la empresa Edición y Distribución Iberoamericana de Publicación (Ediapsa), fundada por Rafael Giménez Siles y Martín Luis Guzmán. Romance fue de las primeras revistas que tuvieron corresponsales en Europa. En sus páginas registraban eventos culturales y artísticos de París, Madrid y otras ciudades. Cada uno de los números presentó secciones fijas, entre las que se encontraba la sección literaria, que generalmente refería a los textos del Siglo de Oro, aunque también figuraban poemas de reciente producción. En la sección de arte colaboraron José Clemente Orozco y José Guadalupe Posada, entre otros. La sección "Los libros por dentro" contenía valiosas críticas de libros nacionales y extranjeros. También hubo un espacio dedicado a artículos científicos comentados. La ruptura en la directiva ocurrió cuando Ediapsa quiso imponer como nuevo director a Martín Luis Guzmán, y tanto Antonio Sánchez Barbudo como Lorenzo Varela y los demás miembros decidieron abandonar la publicación.

2002. ISBN-13: 9781584771708; ISBN-10: 1584771704. "Clearly Entitled to Rank Among the Classics" Wheaton, Henry. Elements of International Law: with a Sketch of the History of the Science. Originally published: Philadelphia: Carey, Lea & Blanchard, 1836. xiv, 375 pp. Reprinted 2002, 2019 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584771708; ISBN-10: 1584771704. Hardcover. New. $44.95 * Written when the author was a diplomat posted in Berlin, this distinguished treatise went through several American and English editions, and several more in French, Italian, Spanish and Chinese. A standard work during the nineteenth century, an edition was published in England as late as 1936. "On his own merits Wheaton is clearly entitled to rank among the classics. Like Grotius, he embodied a happy combination of profound scholarship with a wide experience of diplomatic and public life, and his work further resembles that of Grotius in that it cannot be classified under the conventional labels of any doctrinal system. His insistence upon the fundamental principles of natural law is balanced by his analysis of practice as an immediate source of positive law." H.A. Smith, Law Quarterly Review 307-308. "Mr. Wheaton's early familiarity with the jurisprudence and foreign relations of the United States, his long experience in diplomacy, his intimate acquaintance with European languages and foreign diplomatic writers, entitles his writings upon International Law to more than ordinary consideration. His works enjoy the highest reputation for the soundness of their views, and the learning and research displayed in illustrating the various topics discussed." --J.G. Marvin, Legal Bibliography 728. "(A)n excellent work...Indisputably the best of its kind in the English language." --James Reddie, Inquiries into International Law (1842) 106. HENRY WHEATON [1785-1848] was a justice of the Marine Court of New York City, a member of the New York State constitutional convention of 1821, a one-term representative to the New York State Assembly and a high-level diplomat who served in Denmark and Prussia. An important legal writer, he was the reporter of the U.S. Supreme Court from 1816 to 1827 and the author of several notable treatises, including A History of the Law of Nations in Europe and America (1838) and An Enquiry into the Validity of the Bri.
