[2], 80pp., some heavy browning and spotting throughout, 1062 items described with printed prices. 2 works bound in one, 8vo (225 x 140 mm), later quarter calf, spine lettered in gilt "Catalogues = Gardnier, Stanley, Goldsmid, Devonshire", alas, without the Goldsmid and Devonshire catalogues. Stanley wrote his own notes for this catalogue which was strong in early Italian and Spanish books. "One of the most magnificent collections ever brought to the Hammer." - Horne, p. 674. William Nelson Gardiner was born at Dublin, June 11, 1766, of poor parents. He possessed considerable knowledge of books, and was a very spirited engraver. Accumulated misery, both bodily and mental, led him to take his own life. The evening before his death he addressed a letter to the editor of the 'Morning Chronicle', who had shown him repeated kindness, enclosing a "Brief memoir of himself." In this letter he declared that his sun was set for everthat his business had nearly declinedhis catalogue failedhis body covered with diseaseand he had determined to seek that asylum "were the weary are at rest." He also states "I turned bookseller, for the last 13 years have struggled in vain to establish myself. The same ill fortune which has followed me through life, has not here forsaken me. I have seen men on every side of me, greatly my inferiors in every respect, towering above me; while the most contemptible amongst them, without education, without a knowledge of their profession, and without idea, have been received into Palaces, and into the bosom of the great, while I have been forsaken and neglected, and my business reduced to nothing. It is therefore, high time for me to be gone." De Ricci, p.88. Quaritch, p.271.

Softcover. Condition: Very Good. First edition. Slim octavo. [34]pp. Illustrated in black and white, including halftone portraits (several with fellow soldiers), a reproduction of an oil portrait, several awards, and a reproduction of a drawing by Mulhauser. Wrappers worn, first and last pages very lightly foxed, very good in stapled unprinted wrappers. Inscribed by Mulhauser's mother (presumably the publisher) on the blank first page. Robert Samuel Mulhauser was born in Wisconsin and living in Highland Park, Michigan in 1941, when he jointed the Royal Canadian Air Force. He achieved the rank of Pilot Officer. On June 4, 1942, his plane was presumably shot down by enemy aircraft while on a raid on Bremen (northwestern Germany). He was awarded the Memorial Cross by the Canadian Government. We locate no copies of this memorial volume in either *OCLC* or the trade.

Three-Quarter Leather. Condition: Good. Fourth Edition. This printed and filled in watchmaker's ledger spans a decade of business from 1883 through 1895, and consists of his detailed business accounting, with 129 pages, of the 200 bound pages, filled in. Manuscript notations fill in the printed places for detailed information on each repair transaction on every pocket watch that was serviced. Information on each watch included customer's name, class of movement and number of movement, number and type of metal of each case, type of repair, cost of the repair, and price of watches sold. A rich source on American horology and business history. Original folio ledger, measuring 13" X 8." Unrecorded in OCLC, and completely absent from the trade and any standard bibliographies. Leather spine is worn and chipped, hinges cracked at front and rear. Scattered staining to text, although generally quite clean. Binding is still secure and sound, text block solid.

View of the Pennsylvania Mine (later part of the Empire Mine) in Grass Valley, California, circa 1909. Postmarked Tuolumne & Stockton R. R., 16 August 1909. Addressed to Miss Bessie O'Day of San Francisco. The Empire Mine is one of the oldest, largest, deepest, longest and richest gold mines in California. Between 1850 and its closure in 1956, the Empire Mine produced 5.8 million ounces of gold, extracted from 367 miles (591 km) of underground passages. Very good, or better. (#165027).

Unbound. Condition: Fine. First edition. Measuring approximately 7" x 8½". A fine copy, laid into publisher's unusued mailing envelope with colophon leaf. One of 99 numbered copies Signed by Atwood. From the colophon: "This is [Atwood's] first individually printed art work and it does not have a title, but clearly it shows an interesting metaphor that connects her to her craft as writer - mother bird hatching the alphabet." A striking image, nicely printed on Arches deckle-edge rag paper. *OCLC* locates two copies (Yale, University of Illinois).

Scrapbook. Oblong folio (15 x 11 ¾ inches). 138 leaves [rectos only employed for the scrapbook], two blanks, front and rear. The first 26 leaves, hold newspaper and periodical clippings and illustrations, many in color, relating to the founding of the country and patriotism, from the Pilgrims to the Revolutionary era and on to President Nixon and Tennessee Gov. Whitfield Dunn; the following 138 leaves hold similar material, but also occasional ephemeral publications (e.g., Williams's History of Johnson City [1960 edition] and Kingsport, Its History and Traditions [also from 1960], etc.), and 180 color photographs (all 3 ½ x 3 1/2, inches, taken by the compiler?), documenting the history of the northeastern portion of the state, especially Washington County, Johnson City, and surrounding countryside, with several drawings and printed ink passages (by the anonymous compiler) expanding on the printed material and photographs. The photos include numerous roadside historical markers, monuments, cemeteries, vistas, historic buildings (cabins, inns, plantation homes, etc.), churches, and other sites easily accessed by car. Subjects include individuals (e.g., Sevier, Crockett, Andrew Johnson), events (e.g., State of Franklin, Scopes trial, Overmountain men), a nod to organizations (e.g., D.A.R, U.D.C.), etc. Homemade hinged, wooden boards, rawhide tie. Excellent school project in very good condition.

10.5x16 cm (4 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches); on gray card mount. "Astoria, Oregon" in pencil on the verso. Lumberjacks using a team of oxen to pull a large log onto a skid road. At the turn of the twentieth century oxen (sometimes horses or mules) or steam donkeys were the primary ways to bring logs out of the woods. Edges lightly rubbed. A fine image. (#167125).

10x14 inch canvas panel on pine stretcher, acryllic (we think), amateur work showing a distant view looking eastward of the Shasta-Shastina massif, forests and dry slopes in foreground. Thriftstore kitsch twiddled by another and younger artist, which now bears, superimposed, an image-conformable "name-tag" consisting of a bead of pigment accompanied by suitable brush-shading that integrates tag with original image: an aesthetically-satisfying defacement. Signed multiple times recto and verso, details below. Upper right-hand corner has been drilled through and through, with an eighth-inch shaft and quarter-inch countersunk depression. Pigment, canvas and wood are in very good condition. This Shasta image is not a paint-by-numbers item, but likely a copy from a calendar photo. On the stretcher is pencilled, "Painted by Evelyn Smith (niece to Lattie Grunsky from [illegible]). Painted about 1970-71". Over-printed in black crayon in a different and more youthful hand, "raven mahone". Recto bears three attributions: a small illegible signature in lower right, an Asian-seal impression in blood-orange lower left, and the tag itself. We believe we met the graffiti artist manning a garage sale with friend; while he went off to change the paltry twenty we proffered, she contributed our information that the tagger characterized the work as "a collaborative effort.".

Albumen print, 12.5x17.8 cm (4 7/8 x 7 inches), circa 1872-1880s. Possibly ditch construction for hydraulic mining. Provenance is the J. F. Miles collection. Very good. (#167538).

Original cartoon drawing. 36 x 30 cm., signed by D'alessio. Matted, cartoon attached to mat with paper tape on verso, soiling and spotting to mat. After the stock market crash, D'alessio began selling his drawings to popular illustrated magazines of the time, including the New Yorker, Esquire and the Saturday Evening Post. For more than twenty years (1940-1963) he drew the strip "These Women" for Publishers Syndicate.

Printed circular letter on blue paper, 11 ¼ x 9 ¼, text entirely in French. A periodic report from the company offering its assessment of the cotton market, with statistics showing number of bales shipped from various ports (New Orleans, Mobile, Atlantic States, Texas, and Florida) and with comparisons between 1856-57 and 1857-58 (through September of each year); this report notes improvements in the financial situation from its previous report (translation: "as money is more abundant, our banks have been able to expand their operations and thus facilitate cotton transactions") despite "frequent and considerable fluctuations in prices during the month, the market having been depressed by notices from Europe." The only reference we have found for J. E. DuMont & Co. is an 1859 partnership dissolution suit filed in Mobile's Chancery Court that describes the company as a "general and commission-merchant in Mobile"; the case eventually found its way to the Alabama Supreme Court. Addressed verso of integral leaf to Messrs. J. & C. Heydecker in New York, old fold lines, else very good.

Broadside. 25.5 x 20 cm. Printed on blue paper, text within an ornamental border, signed in type at conclusion of text by C.K. Morrill & Co. of Lowell, Mass, dated June 12th, 1855. Old fold lines, but no wear. Not in Wisconsin Imprints Inventory and not found on OCLC. There are only a handful of separate Fond du Lac imprints before 1855, the most notable being a History of the County of Fond du Lac (1854). The weekly Fountain City Herald was published from 1852 to 1856.
