SWING, David (1830-94)
Autograph Letter Signed
This memorable Presbyterian clergyman and educator in Chicago who was cited for some of his heretical forward-thinking beliefs in1874 was acquitted and resigned to found his own Central Church becoming more popular thereafter and publishing several books of his views. Choice content ALS 1p 5" X 8" n.p. n.d. Addressed to L.U. Fleckler. Very good. Mild age toning and inoffensive abrasion near top margin. Interesting reply seemingly penned shortly after the famed trial reading in part: ".superstition has caused more injury because it has been more universal and perpetual. Skepticism is of later times and has not affected the masses but superstition has had a wide sway always. Which will harm more the next hundred years I cannot state. I think skepticism will. Men will believe too little instead of too much." Nicely penned in brown ink. unknown

SWOPE, Herbert Bayard (1882-1958)
Typed Letter Signed
This colorful and influential editor and journalist -- brother of General Electric president Gerard Swope -- won a Pulitzer prize for his World War One coverage; he edited the New York World from 1920 to 1929. TLS 12pp rectos only 8" X 10¼" Washington DC 1918 January 23. Addressed "To the Council New York World" -- though Swope crosses this out in pencil and adds "Dear RP" publisher Ralph Pulitzer eldest son of Joseph Pulitzer and himself a highly influential journalist. Very good. All 12 pages of this lengthy missive have been neatly tipped together along the left margin the whole of which was affixed into one of Swope's personal scrapbooks since removed. Late in 1916 Swope authored several articles collecting titled "Inside the German Empire" which earned him the 1917 Pulitzer Prize for reporting -- which must have impressed President Woodrow Wilson mightily for only months later Swope writes this detailed report to the editorial board of his employer newspaper of which he would soon become editor. Writing "Confidential" in the upper left corner of the first page he opens with an auspicious "The president asked me to come to see him yesterday. I was with him almost an hour. It was most enlightening." The remainder of the report is a detailed frank and flattering look at Wilson and his conduct of World War One. Swope obviously made a carbon copy of this report one to mail and the other to keep. This is his retained copy although the first two leaves are the originals and leaves three through twelve the carbons. He signs this copy in full and boldly at the close and throughout the text are original non-carbon additions deletions and corrections in ink. Two heavy stock scrapbook margins in which Swope describes the content in thick blue pencil are also present each roughly 10" X 3" and provide interesting background. These read: "This was written after I had been in Washington for several months assigned there to ' the administration out of the water' if I thought things were going badly. The World was a strong Wilson paper which would have given extra force to the attack NY in the Boston / Phila. No one were to use my dispatch if critical" adding in regular pencil "Waddell Catchings of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce had announced that "we had lost the war." A fascinating letter -- whether it saw light of day in any published form is unknown. Also accompanied by a superb unusual glossy 9" X 7" news agency photograph International News Photo a fine image showing a smiling Swope standing with General Eisenhower and two others. Original mimeographed paper label affixed to verso which dates this scene 9 September 1947 titles it "Swope Decorated for War Services" and describes it: "James F. Byrnes former U.S. Secretary of State indulges in a bit of good-natured ribbing after General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower had presented the Medal for Merit to Herbert Bayard Swope right in a ceremony at the War Department. Looking on are Gen. Eisenhower and Bernard M. Baruch second from right. Mr. Swope was honored for 'exceptionally meritorious conduct in performance of outstanding services in World War II.' unknown

SYLVIA BOND-SMITH, [DEREK BOND-SMITH]
1951 - 1952 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT TRAVEL DIARY OF A 10000 MILE EPIC JOURNEY BY TRUCK FROM EUROPE TO SOUTH AFRICA HANDWRITTEN BY A 17 YEAR OLD GIRL MAKING THE TRANS CONTINENTAL TREK WITH HER 20 YEAR OLD BROTHER
KIMBLE ENGLAND AFRICA SAHARA CONGO SOUTH AFRICA. Good. 1951. On offer is a sensational original manuscript diary that details and documents an epic 10000 mile journey by truck for the most part that begins in Little Kimble Buckinghamshire a small town north-west of the Greater London area to Europe and then moves to North Africa across the Sahara through the Belgian Congo to the final destination South Africa. Remarkably the expedition was undertaken by 17 year old Sylvia Bond-Smith the author and her 20-year old brother Derek. Driving through much dangerous and wild terrain their difficulties deprivations and triumphs are retold by this erudite and intrepid traveler in this very detailed journal; from the practical and mundane day to day details of their journey to a wealth of keen eyed and charming observations of this very young woman on the adventure of a lifetime. The 300 pages or so 7" x 4.5" book is rife with experiences from mileage numbers to describing an elephant and gorilla hunt. Midway Sylvia and her brother meet up with their father who is exploring in the Belgian Congo. Adding further depth to the super narrative are the tipped in and some tucked in ephemera; train tickets stamps hotel ephemera news clippings the intrepid Smith-Bond siblings meet mid journey two journalists who become attached to the Smith's and document their story: "A boy a girl and a truck and ten thousand miles of adventure. That is the thrilling prospect facing Kimble brother and sister Derek Bond-Smith 20 and Sylvia 17. Very soon the Bond-Smiths embark on their biggest journey yet - 10000 miles by truck to Cape Town. Their route lies across 2000 miles of scorching Sahara - where they will follow a faint track marked every 60 miles by a petrol can through to the steaming Congo Nigeria Kenya and down through Tanganyika and Rhodesia." and a number of hand drawn maps and illustrations litter the journal. With great amusement we read an entry of their accommodations at one point: 'cheap not very clean but a nice old girl running it' then a later hand a one word note in pencil on the top margin with an arrow to the passage reading 'brothel'. Here are some snippets: Dec 6th 1951 To the Spanish frontier at La Jungesa - Gathering Kit getting official forms etc we drove on a bit and found a perfect camping site just off the road. Smooth grass and a kind of Oak tree and little cub bushes and mountains all around very beautiful. Got tent up and found water from a nearby stream and got meal. While eating too Dutchman came up whose signatures above. Cycling to South Africa so they hope through Spain and down West Coast of Africa. Algers Laghanek Dec 23rd 1951 Land flat at first than came to Atlas Telliem it became very rocky. Steep rocks very steep road cut right down. Very sleepy and couldn't keep my eyes open for long come out to a plateau passed through Boyhem in village stopped to talk 3 women and two men French bitterly cold stopped for lunch on desolate plain. Dec 30th 1951 Up at 6:15 supplies very short and all have been hungry for a few days very little breakfast. Jan 4th 1952 Up at 6 after about 4 hours of sleep got booked in what turned out - to be a very nice place with running water hot bath etc. Consists of several buildings and got nice room with bath around corner no sights nets above bed. First we have seen like this. Little would I have thought a year ago I would ever be in Nigeria so far its a very nice place were in now. Not much vegetation but lots of English colonist about which is pleasant like being home again only Colonial atmosphere I soon get into a bath and how I needed one never been so dirty in my life & had a good splash around. Felt really good to be so clean again first time I have had clothes off since we left Alger. Jan 14th 1952 Up at five it was still dusk found then & Skye sleeping in sleeping because of animals on the road. On road at 6:30 just as sun was rising beautiful sunshine. Saw several groups of guinea fowl several of which Derek blasted away and missed- saw no game - except 3 small Gazelle and two big monkeys. At Kobo we stopped at the road and bought two Pawpaws papayas and stopped for breakfast had my first Pawpaw which was quite good soon after Kapo came upon several cry neatly laid out and constructed villages some buildings still use leaina foundations leashed together with creepers. One deserted village rather impressive. Bush in this area very thick and road narrow. Jan 21st 1952 Captured several gorillas from the Rinzori mountains - The biggest gorillas in the world - Mal Shot one weighing 1/2 a ton with Teryizi large dimensions & black & hairy & strong It immediately wounded 2 of the natives while itself was wounded and dying on the ground. It grabbed one of them by the hand and flung him for 30 meters and the natives hand stayed in the gorillas grasp his bones crushed like butter. Another native the gorilla hit in the face which was completely torn in two. Jan 25th 1952 Up at 7 had breakfast than got picked up some of Ron & Skyes kit. Left Stanleyville at 9 after saying goodbye to Ron & Skye which was horrible having come so far with them Boys at Sebana Hotel - dreadful service bad. Good to be on the road again & walking quietly along Enuno & Ura rivers by and also Tslopo river and then through Baywaboli - not very big place. Population fairly dense natives all wearing white and proper looking than around Baywaboli where Govt patrol passed by - Avakabi & over the Kuri river by bicycle - a fast flowing river with lots of flat rocks after Ikani river the forest rather dense - tropical like vegetation all around palms tall trees and think undergrowth 5 monkeys around the road about us about 20 bands bigger baboons & thought for an instant they were gorillas which is quite possible as we are near gorilla county. At Elephant Station at Andudu on Nepoko river. Pygmies are very cruel as regards animals. One way they kill elephants is to smother themselves with the smell of the elephant and creep up on it while its asleep and cut its trunk off so it cannot eat or drink & is in great pain until it dies in about 4 days."

Neustadt Neapoli Nemetum Impensis Joh. Caroli Unckelii librarii Francofurtensis excudebat Heinricus Starckius 1617. 8vo. 4 volumes in 1: 486; 32511 index; 1017 index4 blank; 272 recte 270 p. Contemporary calf. 17.5 cm Ref: VD17 23:242009B: vol. 1 & 3; VD17 3:314636G vol. 2; VD17 3:314634S vol. 3; VD17 23:242011X vol. 4; Schweiger 2991: Vollständige Exx. dieser Ausgabe finden sich sehr selten; Brunet 5612; Graesse 6/1539; Ebert 22078 Details: Back with 4 raised bands. Boards with blind ruled borders. First title in red and black. Woodcut printer's mark on that title depicting Samson between two pillars; Samson died according to Judges 16:30 when he grasped two pillars of the Temple of Dagon and 'bowed himself with all his might'. Judges 16:30 The motto reads: Nostra Fortitudo Nomen Domini. This convolute lacks according to VD17 the 7 page Q. Aurelii Symmachi Vita of Jacques Godefroy. Ebert remarks that this short vita is usually lacking. The titlepage of the last volume bears erroneously the year 1517 Condition: Binding scuffed and worn at the extremities. Corners bumped. Both pastdowns are detached: the binder used a manuscript music sheet for the endpapers. The music and the accompanying text in English seem liturgic Note: The Roman nobleman Quintus Aurelius Symmachus ca. 340 - ca. 402 AD was a prominent civil servant and became the most famous and admired orator of his day. Fragments of his speeches survive. H.J. Rose may call his oratory empty but an eulogy that Symmachus composed for the emperor Theodosius after he had sided with the usurpator Maximus once saved his life. And with his oratory this pagan politician was considered to be the most prominent opponent of Christianity. When Gratianus ordered by imperial edict the removal of the altar of Victoria from the Senate building of Rome he pleaded for the repeal of the edict. Of historic importance is the third letter in the tenth book of this collection of letters in which Symmachus asked for the restoration of this altar. It made a great impression it is said but he was defeated largely through the efforts of the bishop of Milan Ambrosius ca. 339-397 AD. The bishop persuaded the emperor to neglect the plea of this leader of the Roman aristocracy for the restoration of the altar. This was the last battle between Christianity and the other pagan religions of antiquity. The two episcopal letters about this 'cause célèbre' which Ambrosius addressed to the Emperor have been added here at the end of the letters of Symmachus. The collection of letters is arranged in ten books and contains some 900 letters addressed to the leading persons of the period. § The Latin text of this correspondence was edited by the classicist Johann Philipp Pareus 1576-1648 one of the most laborious grammarians Germany ever produced. His best work was done at Neustadt where he was Rector of the local school from 1610 till 1623. Pareus did much for Plautine scholarship. He was also a Symmachus specialist. Pareus published in 1628 a second and in 1642 in Frankfurt a third edition Provenance: The provenance of this book is probably English. The endpapers are the remnants of an English music sheet Collation: A-2G8 2H4; A-X8; A-G8 leaves G7 & G8 blank; A-R8 Photographs on request hardcover
