Loolee Palava" A French - Indian Romance of Fort Duquesne -- 58 pp handwritten manuscript of a novelette set in Pittsburgh during the Seven Years War. Ca. 1896
Paperback. Good. Probably written by a Pittsburgher 'Loolee Palava' tells that story of Louis Bouriel 'only child of a very wealthy proud and austere nobleman of France' and his journey to America where he engaged in skirmishes and battles in the Pittsburgh area with a number of love intrigues etc. A bit of a potboiler. 58 pp handwritten with many corrections appears to be lacking at least the last sheet as it ends in the middle of a sentence. Some of the pages are 14 inches tall others are 12 inches bound with an old string at the top. Light wear. The name Loolee Palava may have been inspired by an article that appeared in the Pittsburgh Press in 1896: ' LOOLEE PALAVA: A Legend Suggests a Name for Four-Mile Run. George M. Brisbln of Osceola Mills formerly of the Gazette of this city has written a letter to Superintendent Falconer of Schenley Park giving him a brief but Interesting history of Four-Mile Run currently the valley in Greenfield where Carpatho-Rusyns including the Warholas settled when It was a favorite place for hunters trappers and Indians. Mr. Brisbln is 70 years old and was born In this city. He says an old Indian hunter often accompanied him on hunting excursions and related numerous legends concerning the locality. In 1751 the son of an Indian woman went on the warpath and never returned. The woman pined for her son for many years and finally became insane. Everyday she visited Four-Mile run and called "Loolee Palava" and the echo returned "Loolee Palava" which the woman believed was the voice of her son. Her devotion to her son's memory became known to the Indians who named the run Loolee Palava or Whooping Boy the name of the young warrior. The suggestion to name the run Loolee Palava may be adopted.' This novella was apparently never published but we think the name of it was the result of reading this article in the local paper. paperback

Manuscript “Estimate Book" for an unidentified New York City contractor dated 1867-1873
<p>small quarto 84 pages plus blanks entries written on lined paper in ink bound in half black leather marbled paper covered boards worn at tips of spine corners and edges of boards boards scuffed outside hinges of binding mostly open but boards attached text block good. Volume was printed by "R.C. Root Anthony & Co. Stationers Printers & Lithographers No. 16 Nassau St. cor. Pine New York." Front board contains paper label with "Estimate Book" written on it Includes index in front of book with names of 24 different individuals or companies.</p><p>The first 84 pages of text consists of the "Estimate Book" of the contractor recording various contracts that he appears to have bid on given estimates and perhaps in some cases eventually secured the contract. Some pages have "entered" with a circle around it as if to say that this bid was accepted. Other estimates show changes or monies subtracted. </p><p>After the entries for the contractor's estimate book there are two other sections with entries as well as a number of blank pages. Just after the Estimate Book there is a 5 page section of diary entries which are dated 1 Jan. - 3 Feb 1909 written in pencil and in a legible hand. At the rear of the volume there is another 5 page section which has one page written in ink the others in pencil and is dated 1911. It is unclear what the relationship of these two small sections to the larger contractor's Estimate Book. It's possible they are related but they differ in dates by forty to fifty years. These two smaller sections appear to be related. The first 5 page section is a diary presumably kept by a woman and she mentions doing seamstress work. The section small section of 5 pages is of accounts where the product being shipped is shawls. These sections also appear to have some sort of Philadelphia PA connection.</p><p> <b>Description of "Estimate Book"</b></p><p>While the volume is not signed and the name of the contractor is not known the volume does include an index at the beginning and records 24 different contracts that our contractor either carried out or bid on. If he carried out a project and since the name and street is given of the property to be worked on it could be possible with further research in old newspaper databases to find out who built these "new" structures perhaps in the classified sections of the papers. Some of these projects were:</p><p> M & S Steinberger on White St. where he repaired beams worked on flights of stairs ran ventilation to a water closet etc. J.C. Hamilton - Barclay St. where he put in steam pipes laid a floors hung wainscoting installed various hardware etc. He did considerable work for Hamilton covering over fifteen pages of this volume. Abbott & Fuller had some work done fitting up offices in the "Hamilton Building."</p><p>One entry 6 pages long is for the "rebuilding of Apollo Hall 28th St. & B'Way." The theatre sat at 31 W. 28th Street near Broadway. The theatre was originally built in 1868 and was named Gilsey's Apollo Hall. In 1870 it was renamed the St. James Theatre. Its capacity was approximately 1530 seats. In its early years it offered lectures in the upstairs hall and musical entertainment in the main auditorium. When Augustin Daly's former Fifth Avenue Theatre on 24th Street burned down in 1873 Daly moved his company to the St. James remodeled it and renamed it the New Fifth Avenue Theatre where he continued as proprietor until 1877. It was this remodeling of the theatre in June 1873 that is recorded in this volume. The entire estimate for remodeling by this contractor came to $19939.94. This theatre was the first theatre to introduce air conditioning. It was destroyed by fire in 1891 and finally demolished in 1939.</p><p>In an entry from June 1868 our contractor bids on construction of five new houses at the corner of 52nd Street and 8th Avenue for a Mr. Walton. The estimate is laid out over five pages with a total cost to be $29352.15. At about this same time our contractor bid on another five house project this time for a Mr. Edward N. Saylor Jr. totaling $34789.00. Messrs. L.W. & T.M. Andrews also had a contract taken out for four houses on 42nd Street between 5th & 6th Avenues two large houses $20789.26 and two smaller houses $12761.56. </p><p>Another project he appears to have bid on was the Gilsey Hotel at the corner of Broadway and 29th Street coming in at an estimate of $32750.00. It is unclear if he was the eventual contractor on the job. The building still exists today and is on the historical register.</p><p>All of these estimations give the amount of lumber and other material needed as well as labor costs by the day. Sometimes the contract appears to show either the material cost separately or combined with labor. Other times labor is specifically separated out. Some bids were updated or stated to have been "entered."</p>

MEMORANDA OF CURTIS'S BOTANICAL MAGAZINE 1822 - c1832
anonymously hand-printed and illustrated 1822. Hardcover. Near Fine. Replicas of the first 58 volumes of Curtis Botanical Magazine rendered in hand-colored floral illustrations and holographic text edited from and amended to the original text by an anonymous English artistic hobbyist and rebound likely early 20thC in 24 volumes. William Curtis' first volume was published in 1787; Curtis's volume 59 the last in this hobbyist's project is dated 1832 which coincides when the hobbyist concluded his or her work. The magazine continues still under the auspices of Kew Gardens. The hobbyist here started this ambitious undertaking in 1822 which is known from the notation "Commenced 1822" he or she leaves on the title page of the first volume. The ten-year project concluded sometime in 1832 which the last entry is dated. The monumental work results in replications of illustrations and text for 3024 species. The drawing and hand-coloring aspires to the original works of James Sowerby the first of Curtis's artists. The hobbyist here sometimes copies sometimes adapts Sowerby's style; the result though technically primitive in execution is consistently charming. The amateur's colors are not as vibrant as Sowerby's; supplies of high-quality natural pigments would have been limited to the amateurist. Bound-in after Curtis' Volume 42 is the actual published Part 1 of "General Indexes to the Plants contained in the First Forty-Two Volumed of the Botanical Magazine" printed by Stephen Couchman and published by Sherwood Neely & Jones 1816 40 pp and Part II 1817 pp 41 - 111. Most impressive is the hobbyist's holographed index to all Curtis's 53 volumes which runs approximately 200 double-sided pages. These 58 volumes were collected into 24 bound volumes presumably organized by the hobbyist thusly and were professionally rebound in polished black half leather - with five raised bandstitles and devices in gilt to the spine over green/salmon/ black marbleized boards with marbleized edges - by appearances sometime in the first quarter of the 20thC by an anonymous binder. The bindings are of highest quality. Laid-in to Volume 1 is the original bill of sale for the work from Henry A. Martin print dealer and publisher of Washington DC dated 11/24/1916. The original bindings were likely calf which with age would have called for some kind of rebinding here handsomely executed. anonymously hand-printed and illustrated hardcover

Pornographic manuscript: The Two Queens
1930. Unbound. Very Good. Typed manuscript. Ribbon or top copy. 27 1 leaves typed rectos only last leaf is blank. Many corrections visible in type. Unsigned. Old folds paperclip stains in the margins the paper is well-thumbed with small tears and creases but is overall supple and very good. Complex literate and detailed sex story about a man who meets a beautiful foreign woman in a park in an American city and is brought back to a luxurious abode where to his surprise he is called upon to pleasure the woman's lovely friend repeatedly and in a variety of ways. He later wakes up in the park and thinks he has dreamed the encounter but discovers a gold watch has been left in his pocket as a gift. The following day the events are repeated but this time with his friend and the beautiful foreign woman joining in. Spoiler Alert!: when they are thrown over after the dalliance the men learn that the young woman was the princess of a European country soon to be a queen and that she was visiting America for a last fling in anticipation of her upcoming wedding to the crown prince of another nation and that her companion was a countess who traveled everywhere with her as a chaperone.<br /> <br /> Porn of this sort was made exponentially more common when American servicemen gained wide access to mimeograph machines during WWII but this is a typed manuscript and our best guess is that it predates the War. Little from the text indicates the possible age of the manuscript. An OCLC and broad internet search locates no copies although admittedly OCLC is an insufficient source for tracking this sort of material. Possibly unique. unknown

SOMETHING BETTER.
Boston: Boston: Lee and Shepard Publishers 1878. 1878. First edition. First edition. 12mo. Original red cloth advertisements on endpapers 232 pp. plus 8 pages of advertisements. Book title four of six books published as the "Sparkling Series" of the publisher's many book publications. Presents Detective Gabriel Gooch in a book published in the same year as THE LEAVENWORTH CASE written by Anna Katharine Green. Although Detective Gooch appears in only three chapters he is somewhat unusual "If Marcus Graves committed an error in placing his case unreservedly in the hands of Detective Gooch that worthy made a great mistake when he adopted the profession of detective. He was singularly unqualified for that calling." Gabriel Gooch sounds like a parody of "Ebenezer Gryce" in THE LEAVENWORTH CASE. Lyle H. Wright's third volume of his bibliography on Fiction Wright 111-5071 cites two copies of the book one copy in the Huntington Library and the other copy at the Library of Congress. OCLC cites four copies Huntington Library Library of Congress Ohio State and Yale University. Not listed in any of the standard reference books such as Hubin Barzun & Taylor etc. Some minor spotting to the cloth else a very good tight copy. Boston: Lee and Shepard, Publishers, 1878. hardcover
