Red cloth with soiling and staining; elaborate decorative stamping (decidedly non-arctic) to spine and front board although with latter's gilt stamping still reasonably bright despite rubbing/flaking; small cloth loss at frayed spine heel. Pencil scribbling atop ink owners…hip inscription on front pastedown; child's pencil inscription (dated 1920) on front free endpaper; pencil scribbling obscuring an inscription on front flyleaf; ink name-address stamps on rear endpapers. Varied foxing, staining, and some soiling to leaves. Binding is still firm. Library of Congress catalog attributes authorship to Richard Mayde who also wrote other geographically-inspired titles. B/w illustrations - both full-paged and text inset - including frontispiece. Binding doesn't seem contemporary to book's 1876 copyright - seems more like mid-1880s-1890ish - with less than crisp printing to page numbers which is usually indicative of printing plates that have been a bit worn from repeated press passes, i.e. a later printing.

Original cloth stained and rubbed; top 4cm of spine cloth lacking leaving underlying paper backstrip and quire tips exposed; small cloth loss at frayed spine heel; spine's gilt stamping dulled but legible, front board's gilt vignette still reasonably bright but certainly not vibrant; board corners worn. Edges toned; varied scribbling-writing-doodling in both antiquarian ink and pencil on several initial and rear leaves with occasional instances on interior pages (the ink examples apparently being the efforts of a mid-19th century youthful Tuscaloosa, Alabama resident but with some of the pencil writing reflecting a more modern writing cursive style and therefore might be mush more recent); b/w illustrated plates are age-toned; mostly light moisture stains on early and late leaves; mostly light foxing but with a few leaves strongly afflicted. Binding still reasonably firm. Copyright page indicates a George S. Appleton copyright of 1848; as a quick perusal finds instances of worn type this is likely an 1850s reprint which was utilizing the same printer plates.
A BLIND WOMAN'S APPEAL. (Apparently a variation of the Petersburg, Virginia alms request sheet, i.e. an appeal for charity, of poem "The Blind Woman's Appeal.")

Contact seller5-star sellerSingle-sided folded yellow paper sheet. Full dimensions: H 21.7cm x L 9.2cm. OCLC notes poem of 8 stanzas of 8 lines each - however this sheet has, after a prefatory five-line paragraph, a seven stanza poem of 4-4-6-6-6-6-4 lines respectively. Sheet extracted from a book with an 1867 inscription of a Memphis, Tennessee and Oxfor…d, Mississippi dual resident so perhaps two locations of printing possibility and an approximate date. Extrapolating from the OCLC citations, it seems that "The Blind Woman's Appeal" may well have become a generic handout for those afflicted by sight loss and left to panhandling and thus variations/versions migrated around the country during 1860s-1870s. OCLC also notes "A similar work was published, with appropriate gender changes, under [the] title: 'The Blind Man's Appeal.'".

THE WHOLE FOUNDED UPON INDISPUTABLE FACTS AND PUBLIC DOCUMENTS, TO WHICH REFERENCE IS MADE IN THE TEXT AND NOTES. [2], 1-148, 1-12 pages. H 20.25cm x L 12.75cm. Lacks boards or wraps. St…itched text block without preliminary and concluding flyleaves/endpapers; first leaf present is title and concludes with twelve page "Notes" section (as called for by Wright Howes although past Bill Reese catalog calls for an errata as well which is not present). Varying chipping and tears mostly occurring to several initial and rear leaves but no loss of text; past bookseller's authorship note in pencil on title page; some creasing and toning to interior leaves. Binding shows some stress but stitching is holding. Attributed author John Lowell [Jr.] lauds Washington and critiques Jefferson while reviewing early Federal period political events and Anglo-American relations. Born in Newburyport, Massachusetts to jurist and Congress of the Confederation delegate John Lowell and Sarah Higginson Lowell, John Lowell, Jr. graduated from Phillips Andover and Harvard and became a prominent attorney and Federalist Party activist who served in the Massachusetts legislature. Lowell, Jr. wrote a number of tracts under anonymous or pseudonymous authorship with many vigorously opposing French influences upon the young country, defending British policies, and attacking Jefferson and Madison's Democratic-Republican Party.

Blue cloth rubbed; scuffing/fraying at spine ends and board corners; front board pictorial b/w centerpiece paste-on illustration of USS Alabama by W. Stephenson. B/w photograph illustrated endpapers toned; laid-in… at front endpapers are 1987 newspaper clipping regarding the USS Alabama and scarce brochure "Commissiong Dinner U.S.S. Alabama August 16, 1942" (stains and soiling to brochure covers); interior leaves remain mostly clean and without crew signatures/inscriptions. Binding unfortunately shaken between pages [2]-[3] with old failed tape reinforcement; several other lesser stress points. Interior illustrations of aforementioned color cruise map and three b/w plate sketches of BB-60 (a larger format sketch of the front board's paste-on) plus two prior namesakes - WWI era BB-8 and Civil War Confederate raider - all credited to W.S. Stephenson too. B/w photographs throughout; uncredited cartoon-style illustrations amongst ship personnel division group photos; African-American crew members shamefully segregated to last crew photo on page [124]. Only a good copy at best but a rather scarce WWII cruisebook made all the more collectible with ship's commissioning dinner brochure.

Contemporary full leather; boards scuffed and stained with worn edges; large loss of rear board's surface leather exposing underlying cardstock; front board has small surface loss at its top left; so…me splitting at joints but boards remain reasonably firm; spine chipped at ends; spine with five raised bands with maroon title label in second compartment from head still retaining fairly bright gilt stamping. Missing ffep (and perhaps a ffly) and half-title which is pages i-ii - i.e. title leaf (pages iii-iv) is immediately opposite front pastedown; also missing rfep and perhaps a rfly; otherwise pagination matches a Dublin 1772 copy owned by Harvard. Toning to interior leaves with some creased corners; at center of title page is handwritten antiquarian ink authorship note "By Counsellor Dagg" (book was published anonymously but is firmly attributed to Henry Dagge) along with two two-line antiquarian ink inscriptions at top right - "Wil. Vans Murray | de Soc. Med. Temps.[?]" followed by pencil inscription "V.M Robertson | [illegible] 1834." Text block is firm. Book now presented in a trimmed clear Dura-Lar (polyester film) sheet forming a dj which aids the joints and modestly enhances the book's shelf appearance. This Dublin edition was published the same year as Thomas Cadell et al's London edition but presumably the latter has priority. OCLC locates eleven physical copies of the 1772 Dublin among member institutions although OCLC notably misses the Harvard copy (Dagge's 1774 second edition is more wildely held). Henry Dagge's CONSIDERATIONS ON CRIMINAL LAW is among the earliest works on the subject most notably preceded by William Eden's "Principles of Penal Law" in 1771 but, of course, both were preceded by the cornerstone of English legal analysis Sir William Blackstone's "Commentaries on the Laws of England" issued in four volumes between 1765-1769. Acquired from a modest collection of eighteenth and early nineteenth century legal and medical works from a Columbus, Mississippi estate which had familial roots to the Maryland Eastern Shore and the hamlet of Cambridge in Dorchester County. Attorney, politician, and diplomat William Vans Murray (1760-1803) served in the Maryland House of Delegates from 1788-1790 and the United States House of Representatives from 1791-1797 followed by an appointment as United States Ambassador to the Netherlands from 1797-1801. The secondary inscription is quite likely Murray's nephew William Vans Murray Robertson (1797-1836) who owned the circa 1760 mansion Glasgow near Cambridge's Choptank River waterfront.

Contact seller5-star seller29 folding leaves. 8vo (229 x 156 mm.), later semi-stiff silk-brocade-covered wrappers (covers a bit wormed), gold- & silver-speckled endpapers, old stitching. [Japan]: on final leaf (in trans.): "3 August 1483." A beautiful and fine calligraphic manuscript of "Guhish?," a text on waka poetic theory that, along with "Gukensh?" ?…??, "Sangoki" ???, and "Kirihioke" ???, made up the writings collectively referred to as the "Cormorant and Heron Forgeries" (Usagikei Gisho ?????). These four texts were attributed to Fujiwara no Teika (1162-1241), the "single most influential figure in the history of Japanese classical poetry. [He] was the supreme arbiter of poetry in his own day, and for centuries after his death was held in religious veneration by waka and renga poets alike. Teika's unique reputation rested in part upon his accomplishment as the leading figure among the many fine poets of the Shinkokin Jidai, the period of fifty-odd years in the late twelfth and early thirteenth centuries when revival and innovation in the native poetry were exemplified in Shinkokinshi, ca. 1204, the eighth, and in many respects the greatest, of the imperially sponsored anthologies of classical verse. As one of the six compilers of this anthology, and with forty-six of his poems included in it, Teika stood at the forefront of the younger and more innovative poets of his day, and his various experiments with diction, rhetoric, and figurative language, as well as with new styles, modes, and aesthetic effects, were widely imitated by his contemporaries. After his death, his quarreling descendants were recognized as the ultimate authorities on all poetic matters, and through them Teika's influence pervaded six hundred years of Japanese poetic history."Robert H. Brower, "Fujiwara Teika's Maigetsush?" in Monumenta Nipponica, 40.4 (1985), p. 399. So great was Teika's reputation that, following his death, a number of forged poetic texts were created by the extremely competitive members the Nij? and Reizei poetic factions, both of which claimed the texts had been left by Teika. These texts, including "Guhish?," were composed around the turn of the 14th century and immediately entered the canon of Teika's writings. They were considered authentic, and had a significant impact on Japanese poetic traditions and aesthetics, until the 20th century. The final leaf of text contains information about which source material was used to create this manuscript, dated 3 August 1483. Our manuscript could well be a later copy. Fine and fresh copy, written in a beautiful calligraphic hand on thick superior torinoko paper. First and last few leaves with minor marginal worming. Preserved in a chitsu, with the characteristic handwriting of Mr. Mori, the chief bibliographer of the great dealer Sorimachi Shigeo ????, on the label of the upper cover of the box.
