Title: Considerations sur les Corps Organisés, Ou l'on traite de leur Origine, de leur Développement, de leur Réproduction, &c. & ou l'on a rassemblé en abrégé tout ce que l'Histoire Naturelle offre de plus certain & de plus intéressant sur ce sujet
Author: BONNET, Charles
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: xlii, one leaf of errata, 274 pp.; xx, 328 pp. Two vols. 8vo, cont. polished mottled calf (small inkstain to outer lower corner of the first 30 leaves), triple gilt fillet round sides, flat spines nicely gilt, red & green morocco lettering pieces on spines. Amsterdam: M.M. Rey, 1762. First edition and a lovely set of this important work. Bonnet (1720-93), is considered one of the fathers of modern biology. He was an enthusiastic champion of preformation, the theory postulating that the animal already existed in miniature in the germ cell, which is first stated in this work. “Bonnet’s theory of generation offered the best synthesis of 18th-century ideas of development and remained a leading authority until von Baer…He used many of Haller’s arguments to support his own opinions.”–Garrison-Morton 472. Pretty set with the stamp on half-titles of Antoine Passy (1792-1873), French biologist and geologist. ❧ Needham, A History of Embryology, pp. 213-14.

Title: The Governor Of Rhode Island Writes To The Governor Of Massacusetts About A Fugitive In 1798
Author: ARTHUR FENNER
Seller: Stuart Lutz Historic Documents, Inc. (United States)
Description: ARTHUR FENNER (1745-1805). Fenner was Governor of Rhode Island from 1790-1805.LS. 2pgs. February 2, 1798. Providence, [Rhode Island]. A letter signed A Fenner as Governor of Rhode Island and written in another hand. Fenner wrote to Massachusetts Governor Increase Sumner concerning a fugitive. Sir Application has been made to me according to the Constitution and Laws of the United States, to request your Excellency to cause to be apprehended a man of the mane of John Simmons a fugitive from the Justice of his State. I have the honour to forward herewith to your Excellencyand also a Warrant returned by an officer that the person charged is not to be found in his precinct. The man charged belongs to the town of Ne Bedford in your Commonwealth & is now resident there. I have therefore to request your Excellency immediately to take such steps as may be most expedient for the apprehending & securing the said John SimmonsI have the honour to be with great Respect your Excellencys most obedient & very humble servant. A Fenner. The letter is essentially an early example of an interstate fugitive warrant. It is in good condition, with a sizable tear on the inner margin, probably from the seal, that does not affect the text.

Title: Anthology of American Negro Literature", Highlighting the Contributions of Black Writers to American Literature, 1944
Author: Sylvestre Watkins
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1944. [African American][Literature] Watkins, Sylvestre C. (ed.). Anthology of American Negro Literature. New York: Random House / The Modern Library, 1944. First edition. Original tan cloth with gilt and green title panels to spine and front board. This landmark anthology sought to present, in Watkins' words, "a representative record of the achievement of the American Negro in literature." It gathers work from the 18th century through the early 1940s, with a particular emphasis on the Harlem Renaissance and its aftermath. Contributors include Phillis Wheatley, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Paul Laurence Dunbar, Charles W. Chesnutt, James Weldon Johnson, W.E.B. Du Bois, Langston Hughes, Countee Cullen, Zora Neale Hurston, Richard Wright, and Sterling A. Brown. The collection spans multiple genres including poetry, short fiction, drama, essays, autobiography, and folklore. The volume was part of The Modern Library's effort to bring culturally significant works to a mass audience in affordable editions. The publication date is significant: appearing at the height of the Double V campaign, the anthology implicitly aligned African American cultural achievement with calls for racial equality both at home and abroad. While later anthologies would critique its omissions and its framing within the integrationist politics of the 1940s, Anthology of American Negro Literature served as an important midcentury reference point, often used in college curricula and public library collections to introduce mainstream audiences to African American writing. Light rubbing to extremities, faint toning to spine, a few small spots to boards; interior clean, binding sound. Very good overall. An influential early anthology canonizing African American literature for a general audience.
