‎Autograph letter signed 3-sides 8vo to Caroline Southey 1786-1854; poet. Wife of the poet Robert Southey.‎

‎Sending " a little collection of verse commemorative of domestic bereavements" and continuing by praising her work " I must also apologise for the intrusion - but really I can not look upon one - the thoughts of whose mind I have though so many years known so well and admired so much as a mere stranger and feel that on this score you will forgive me. I have just read ' The young grey head' and allow me to say that it is perhaps the most touching and effective of all you compositions not even excepting 'The Evening Walk' which moved me even to tears.Would to God I could convey through you to your illustrious husband my high admiration.that your own health may remain improved and that you may long be spared to adorn the female literature of England.". Musselburgh 2nd Feb. 1843. Laid down by the blank conjugate leaf to a page from an album compiled by Maria Burrard a 2nd cousin of Caroline Southey. unknown‎

‎Les Oeuvres de Monsieur de Molière • The Works of Monsieur de Molière‎

‎à Paris: Chez Denys ThierryClaude BarbinPierre Trabouillet 1682. Fine. First and most acclaimed collected edition of Molière's works bound by M. Lortic Chez Denys Thierry Claude Barbin Pierre Trabouillet à Paris 1682 9 x 16.50 cm 8 volumes reliés First complete collected edition and first illustrated edition. The first edition of Dom Garcie de Navarre LÂ’Impromptu de Versailles Dom Juan ou le Festin de Pierre Les Amans magnifiques and La Comtesse dÂ’Escarbagnas. With thirty copper engraved illustrations by Jean Sauvé after Pierre Brassart 9 of them included in the pagination.19th-century red full morocco binding spines with five raised bands date gilt at foot double gilt fillets to edges of covers and spine-ends large inner gilt dentelle marbled endpapers all edges gilt. Bindings signed M. Lortic. An exceptional copy of the famous 1682 edition housed in a very elegant binding by Marcelin Lortic who succeeded his father Pierre-Marcellin Lortic - Baudelaire's binder. The first complete edition of the works of Molière edited by two of his close friends Vinot and the actor Charles Varlet de la Grange who was also his troupeÂ’s secretary: “For this edition publishers used MolièreÂ’s manuscript texts more or less corrected by him either according to the needs of performances or publication. This means that the text of 1682 often differs slightly from the separate first editions and the collected edition of 1674.Despite this it is the text that has most often served as a source for the numerous later editions published right up to the present time” J. Le Petit Bibliographie des principales éditions originales.   According to Anaïs Bazin “It is in the Préface by Lagrange and Vinot placed at the beginning of the first edition of the ÂŒuvres complètes de Molière 1682; there and nowhere else we still find today the only reliable and acceptable information — perhaps the only information and this conjecture is a serious one — that Molière wished to leave to the public concerning his fifty-one-year career!” Notes historiques sur la vie de Molière Techener 1851. This slightly excessive sentence nevertheless highlights the unique importance of these first biographical notes written by close friends of the greatest French dramatist. It also reveals numerous faults within the known versions of MolièreÂ’s final play and masterpiece Le Malade imaginaire printed after the authorÂ’s death. “This comedy is corrected from the authorÂ’s original manuscript and free of all the false additions and presumed scenes inserted in previous editions. And to highlight this declaration even further they take care to write at the beginning of two scenes in the first act that the text — actually the entire act — was not MolièreÂ’s in the previous editions and that they publish here the authorÂ’s original scenes.” In his bibliography Albert-Jean Guibert would conclude: “This edition must be regarded quite rightly as the most complete of the seventeenth-century editions. Stage directions are included and for the first time each comedy is preceded by an engraving particularly valuable for the attitudes and costumes of the characters.”  Chez Denys ThierryClaude BarbinPierre Trabouillet hardcover‎

‎Monroe, James‎

‎Message from the President of the United States to Both Houses of Congress at the Commencement of the First Session of the Eighteenth Congress. December 2 1823.‎

‎Washington D.C: Printed by Gales & Seaton 1823. First edition in book form of the Monroe Doctrine. Octavo bound with a number of other congressional reports in contemporary sheep numerous folding charts and tables. In very good condition with rubbing to the spine front and rear panels and some toning throughout. Rare. President Monroe's message includes his policy statements regarding the Western Hemisphere which would become known as the Monroe Doctrine. To the European powers on the other side of the Atlantic he declared: We owe it therefore to candor and to the amicable relations existing between the United States and those powers to declare that we should consider any attempt on their part to extend their system to any portion of this hemisphere as dangerous to our peace and safety. The President's message is preceded by A List of Reports to be made to the House of Representatives at the First Session of the Eighteenth Congress by the Executive Departments. Several other accompanying documents follow it including: General Gaines report on the campaigns against the Arkikaras; the Commissioner of Public Buildings report; a report of the Sec. of State on the present condition and future prospects of the Greeks; a memorial related to a General System of Bankruptcy; a report of the Sec. of the Treasury on the State of the Finances etc. Howes M724: In addition to containing the notable first enunciation of the 'Monroe Doctrine' one of the accompanying documents gives General Gaines' report on the upper Missouri campaign against the Arikaras Howes D385 & A307 Grolier. The fear that the continental powers were planning to reconquer the Latin American republics that had declared their independence from Spain—coupled with irritation over Russia's intention to quarantine the Northwest coast of America from all but Russian vessels—led President Monroe to articulate a policy largely drafted by Secretary of State John Quincy Adams that would obligate the European powers to respect the Western Hemisphere as the United States' sphere of influence and prevent their intervention in the New World. His eponymous doctrine boldly declared that "the American continents by the free and independent condition which they have assumed and maintained are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for further colonization by any European powers" and that any subsequent European meddling in the Americas could not be viewed "in any other light than as the manifestation of an unfriendly disposition towards the United States."

‎Message From the President of the United States Stating the Interpretation Which Has Been Given To The Act Entitled “An Act in Addition to the Acts Prohibiting the Slave Trade. with A Report of the Committee to Whom was Referred So Much of the President’s Message of the 7th of December last as relates to the Suppression of the Slave Trade.‎

‎Washington D.C: Printed by Gales & Seaton 1819-1826. Two rare printed pamphlets regarding President James Monroe's position on the prohibition of the Slave Trade. Octavo. In very good condition. Rare. During the course of his presidency Monroe remained convinced that slavery was wrong and supported private manumission yet at the same time insisted that any attempt to promote emancipation would cause problems. Monroe believed that slavery had become a permanent part of southern life and that it could only be removed on providential terms and like many other Upper South slaveholders he believed that a central purpose of government was to ensure "domestic tranquility" for all. He feared for public safety in the United States during the era of violent revolution on two fronts. First from potential class warfare of the French Revolution in which those of the propertied classes were summarily purged in mob violence and then preemptive trials and second from possible racial warfare similar to that of the Haitian Revolution in which blacks whites then mixed-race inhabitants were indiscriminately slaughtered as events there unfolded. In 1820 Monroe signed the Missouri Compromise which admitted Missouri as a slave state but banned slavery from territories north of the parallel 36°30′ north. He also became a member of the American Colonization Society which sought to aid freed slaves in colonizing Africa. Printed by Gales & Seaton unknown‎
