Light bumping to spine ends a little scuffing to extremities strong and handsome; internally clean with some marginal toning to page edges top-edge untrimmed. A very good strong copy with only light wear. <br /> <br /> Published anonymously and one of only three "romance" titles written by Professor Nicholson presumably in spare moments of release from his day job which was being a very notable and respected British economist. His output more normally consisted of works on tariff reform and influential titles like "Effects of Machinery on Wages" and "Tenant's Gain Not Landlord's Loss" his works also include "A Revival of Marxism" in 1920 his last published work. When he wasn't writing studious treatises on the finer aspects of international economics and trade relations he was immersing himself into the creation of complex bits of Ancient Greek weirdness involving torrid rivalries doomed love cursed gemstones and mysterious oracular types holding forth on the wisdom of the gods.

The People's Answer to the Court Pamphlet: Entitled a Short Review of the Political State of Great Britain
Printed for J. Debrett opposite Burlington-House 1787-01-01. Leather Bound. Very Good. 1787 fourth edition 'Printed for J. Debrett opposite Burlington-House Piccadilly London 5 1/4 x 8 1/2 inches tall hardbound marbled boards over black cloth spine 4 50 pp. With a half-title. Minor rubbing to covers. Staining to half title page and slight foxing to title. Otherwise a very good copy - clean bright and unmarked - of an important eighteenth century political pamphlet. Reference: ESTC No. T82992. ~LLL~ A stinging rebuke to the lambasting in print of the Prince of Wales the future King George IV in a pamphlet entitled 'A Short Review of the Political State of Great Britain' which had been published anonymously in January 1787 by author Nathaniel William Wraxall 1751-1831 and which had attracted a great deal of attention and sales. Within a few days after publication of the 'court pamphlet' six editions each consisting of 1000 or 1500 copies were sold and the publisher Debrett which also issued this response estimated the total sales of the English edition it was also translated into French at 17000 copies. Authorship of this reply is sometimes attributed to Irish-born British politician and pamphleteer Sir Philip Francis the supposed author of the 'Letters of Junius' and the chief antagonist of Warren Hastings 1732-1818. Francis' accusations against Hastings led to the Impeachment of Warren Hastings by Parliament which has been described as 'probably the British Isles' most famous certainly the longest political trial.' In the introduction to Wraxall's posthumous memoirs editor Henry Wheatley comments 'Wraxall says that the Prince of Wales sent repeatedly to Debrett the publisher peremptorily demanding to know from him the name of the author and menacing him with prosecution for libel. If this was the case it seems probable that the secret of the authorship was well kept for a few years after Wraxall was on friendly terms with the Prince of Wales and it is scarcely probable that the Prince suspected the authorship of the pamphlet.

Black Americana 'Negrobilia' "Pick the Pickaninnies" postcard puzzle
New York: Ullman Manufacturing Company 1907. First Edition. Original Wraps. Very Good. First Edition. Original Wraps. An example of early 20th century Black Americana ephemera or as some refer to as 'Negrobilia' referring to a wide array of materials including mass advertisements postcards tourist souvenirs etc. with the image of an African American universally portrayed in a derogatory and racist manner. These items were produced and manufactured by and for white audiences that enhanced the perception of white racial superiority and class status. These type of items are particularly challenging to many communities however many scholars and private collectors alike agree these materials are historical records and reminders of the racist history of the United States and should not be invisible. The puzzle postcard is an example of mass produced racial stereotyping manufactured for an actual mailing enclosure. The instructions on the outside of the mailer state: "Arrange the flaps by placing one over another in such a manner as to show ONLY the eleven pickaninnies."<br /> <br /> Reference: Goings Kenneth. "Mammy and Uncle Mose: Black Collectibles and American Stereotyping." Bloomington Indiana University Press 1994. Full color off-set printed multi-flap post card mailer with die-cut holes for puzzle and tab for closing. 3.5x5.5"; bright and unmarred with fully intact flaps. Ullman Manufacturing Company unknown

Anon [text], engravings after Franz St ber [not named here]
DER MYTHOS ALTER DICHTER in sechzig bildlichen Darstellungen. Dritte umgeararbeitete Auflage.
Wien Vienna: Mayer & Compagnie 3rd revised edition. 1841. Hardcover. Good. Frontisplate 59 other steel-engraved plates lacking pl.50 Sisyphus originally engraved on copper in 1815 by Franz St ber 1795-1858. Large octavo 24cm x 15.5cm newer linen-spined boards with old paper relaid on covers and spine has title but lacks original paper at spine head and foot. Unpaginated but each numbered plate has tissue guard and facing leaf of text in German to explain each myth. Lacks plate 50 maybe cut out by censor. Some foxing and light marginal damp marks at gutter not touching engraved part of plates. The steel-engraved images of gods nymphs and heroes are quite small 9.5cm x 6.5cm printed on strong paper at centre of each plate but of very fine quality and detail. They are closely based on similarly numbered copperplate engravings by Franz Xaver St ber first published Vienna 1815 in similar large octavo format but with completely different anonymous German text. The detail of these later steel engravings only differs from St ber's original 1815 copperplates by covering up some female breasts better to comply with 1840s more prudish moral code. They still retain the strongly erotic impression given by many of the originals thus helping to maintain their popularity over more than 25 years. Mayer & Compagnie 3rd revised edition. hardcover
