Paley, William [William Tecumseh Sherman]
The Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy.
New York: Collins Keese & Co 1839. Later edition of this classic book on moral and political philosophy; used by William Tecumseh Sherman while a cadet at the United States Military Academy at West Point. Octavo original calf. General Sherman and his son's bookplates to the front pastedown. Intentionally scratched with "S" multiple times on the front panel by General Sherman. Inscribed by Sherman as a cadet on the front flyleaf "Sherman Nov. 1st/39." The date indicates that Sherman was in his third year at the academy upon signing this book. While at West Point Sherman excelled academically described by fellow cadet William Rosecrans as "one of the brightest and most popular fellows" at the academy. Hirshson The White Tecumseh 1997 p. 13. This book on one of the subjects Sherman described as excelling at would have been used by him in his studies. In good condition with front panel detached splitting to the hinges some loss to the spine and some toning throughout. No other examples of books used by Sherman at West Point are known. Sherman writes about his time at West Point only briefly in his memoirs: "At the Academy I was not considered a good soldier for at no time was I selected for any office but remained a private throughout the whole four years. Then as now neatness in dress and form with a strict conformity to the rules were the qualifications required for office and I suppose I found not to excel in any of these. In studies I always held a respectable reputation with the professors and generally ranked among the best especially in drawing chemistry mathematics and natural philosophy. My average demerits per annum were about one hundred and fifty which reduced my final class standing from number four to six." Collins, Keese, & Co unknown

PALINGENIUS
Marcelli Palingenii Stellati Poetae Zodiacus vitae id est de hominis vita studio ac moribus optime instituendis libri XII. Nunc demum ad exemplaria primaria sedulo castigati centenis aliquot mendis expurgati aliisque accessionibus aucti.
Rotterdam Rotterodami Apud Joannem Hofhout 1722. 8vo. XVI including frontispiece407;47 index2 blank p. Calf 15.5 cm Details:.Back gilt and with 5 raised bands. The frontispiece designed and executed by Jan Goeree depicts an allegorical scene which may refer to passages in the second and sixth book of the 'Zodiacus Vitae' called Taurus and Virgo. It shows a laureated woman Poetry who shakes hands with death and at the same time clings with her left arm to a bust of the virtuous goddess of wisdom Athena. Her feet rest on a bag of gold and a scepter. Next to her stands a winged putto scourge at hand who reveals gold and other treasures of the church that lay hidden below a piece of cloth. Above them on a monument the wellknown scene of Hercules on the crossroads where he meets two women personifications of Virtue and Vice. They both advice Hercules to follow the road they show him. Virtue depicted here as Athena points at a narrow rocky and steep path at the end of which he will find a reward. Vice who is stripped to the waist offers Hercules pleasure crowns and wealth; she points at the easy road. The message is clear the highest good can not be found in wealth and profane goods but in virtue combined with wisdom. At the end of the sixth book Virgo the poet concludes having considered the endless miseries of humankind that we should not fear death but that we must embrace her/him as a safe haven. The woodcut printer's mark shows the intertwined initials of the publisher Johannes Hofhout. The title is printed in red and black. Each of the 12 songs is preceded by a useful synopsis Condition: Binding scuffed. Tip at the head of the spine worn away. Gilt on the back fading. Front joint cracked still strong but showing some small damage. Bookplate on the front pastedown. Endpapers worn and yellowing. Some old ink underlinings Note: The real name of the Italian neolatin poet Marcello Palingenio Stellato or in Latin Marcellus Palingenius Stellatus was in 1725 revealed by I. Facciolati in a letter to the German bibliographer J.A. Fabricius. Marcello Palingenio is an anagram for the name of the Italian courtier Pier Angelo Manzolli born to a humble family in La Stellata near Ferrara between 1500 and 1503. He died before 1558. Recent research Bacchelli 1985 points in a completely different direction. On the basis of indications in the privilege for the printing of the Zodiacus granted in Venice in 1535 to one Marcellus Stellato Neapolitanus it is thought that Marcellus may have been born in Campania and that his real name was Marcello Stellato or Stellati a family name attested in area of Campania thus denying the attribution of the poem to Pier Angelo Manzoli. A weak point is that the appellation 'Palingenio' is here hard to explain. Anyway of the author's life little is known. It is assumed that he was a medical doctor. He was at one point suspected of heterodoxy perhaps because he was a member of the Calvinist circle of Renata d'Este. After his death his bones were dug up following a process of heresy under pope Paulus III and burned at the stake. A Vatican codex which includes documents of the Congregation of the Index of the years 1571-90 informs us that the unearthing of Marcello'nihil credens neque divinitatem Christi' took place in Cesena without however indicating the date while in November 1558 the Bolognese Jesuit Francesco Palmio informed his general G. Lainez that his body was publicly exhumed and burned because of certain heretic books Palingenius had composed. The cause of this exhumation may well have been his 'Zodiacus Vitae' a poem in 12 songs 9939 hexameters each song taking its name from one the twelve signs of the Zodiac. It was written between 1520 and 1534 and was dedicated to Ercole II d'Este. These songs do not form a coherent unity and contain a variety of didactic moralistic metaphysical astronomical and frequently satirical passages. The work was placed on the Index in 1558; and perhaps because of this in addition to its intrinsic qualities and its attacks upon the Catholic clergy it was widely read and admired in Protestant countries. In England it was even used as a school text both in Latin and English. It was imitated in and translated into several languages. The main theme is the 'highest good' and around this are woven other secondary themes. There are contradictions repetitions and none of the questions dealt with is original. Yet the Zodiacus is a characteristic and interesting work for its dealing with important philosophical questions and the author's noble intent to offer the reader a poetic code of rule how to live wisely. Its literary value lies in its ornate style and the freedom with which it treats the Latin language. Most importantly the poem shows traits of true and heartfelt poetry as found in some particularly sharp satiric attacks upon the clergy in certain similes and in outpourings of real pessimism. Source: Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani - Volume 69 2007 and Enciclopedia Italiana 1934 Provenance: On the front pastedown the armorial bookplate of 'The Right Honorable Sir John Trollope Bar-t. M.P.' Probably Sir John Trollope 1800-1874 7th Baronet of Casewick in the county of Lincoln and created Baron Kesteven in 1868. He was a conservative politician and M.P. for Lincolnshire South.

Les moeurs
s. l.: S. n. 1748. Fine. S. n. s. l. 1748 10 x 16.50 cm 3 parties reliées en un volume First edition illustrated with a frontispiece a title vignette repeated on the three title pages and three title vignettes. Contemporary full marbled brown calf binding. Smooth spine decorated. Red morocco title label. Lower joint open at foot. Lacks and holes along the lower joint. One corner bumped. An essay on virtues of which we know there were countless in the 18th century this one containing particular qualities; immediately aligning itself with the Enlightenment movement by rejecting the notion that virtues are the privilege of a single religion the author addresses all men stigmatizing the wealthy social position and the model of the honest man of the 17th century for the work is a critique of contemporary society against the backdrop of an essay on virtues. The preface which runs counter to the exercise sincerely announces the author's self-love and his design. S. n. unknown

Paolo GIOVIO
De romanis piscibus libellus doctus copiosus & elegans iam recens aeditus
Antverpiae Antwerp Anvers Antwerp: Per Ioannem Grapheum 1528. Fine. Per Ioannem Grapheum Antverpiae Antwerp Anvers Antwerp 1528 10 x 15.50 cm relié New edition rare after the editio princeps of 1524 in Rome. Modern full vellum Bradel binding. Smooth unlettered spine. Title leaf with small lacks to outer margin same for the last leaf. Paper yellowed. Scattered foxing. Lacking the final blank leaf h8 with the printer's device on verso. Physician then bishop and major historian of his time Paul Jove in French focused in this work on zoology and more particularly on fish of Antiquity. Govio's book is not properly speaking a naturalist work the author contenting himself with drawing from literary sources to describe different fish even certain monstrous fish as they were perceived by Latin or Greek authors. Govio describes no fewer than 40 fish commenting on their nutritional and medicinal properties and offering some culinary recipes. There is also no concern for classification in his work although his first chapter is an attempt at a singular description of what a fish is. Between 1485 and 1558 no fewer than 70 books on fish appeared; this abundant literature still inherited from the Middle Ages would lead to true epistemological reflection and gradually construct ichthyology.
