From the Foreword: "Recently a happy chance has resurrected some letters of James Read the Pennsylvania lawyer . These missives neglected for nearly two centuries . chiefly concern a debt owing by Read to Franklin's friend and correspondent William Strahan the Scottish printer and bookseller long resident in London. They reveal Poor Richard in the grotesque role of the collector of a doubtful account . The debt was contracted whilst all the parties were loyal members of the British Crown; its enforcement overlapped the American Revolution and the lasdt unpaid balance was reluctantly charged off after William Strahan's death. From this transacion and from epistolary fabric which it produced is pieced the following memoir." . SIGNED by the AUTHOR. First Edition Number 1 of 50 signed. Hardcover.

‎The Printer and the Pardoner An Unrecorded Indulgence Printed by William Caxton‎

‎Washington D.C.: Library of Congress 1986. Bradley Martin's copy. Laid in is a two page letter on Pierpont Morgan Library stationary to Bradley Martin. It is dated 6 May 1987 and mentions a possible exhibition of Martin's treasures at the Morgan Library "in the fall." Without saying so the letter hints that the Morgan would be an appropriate repository for Martin's incredible library. The attempt proved to be futile as the Martin collection was sold at auction in 1989 and 1990 realizing a total of $35303000. Fine condition in a Very Good dust jacket which has 1 small chip to the rear panel. The jacket is protected by a removable Brodart clear-plastic sleeve. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a library discard. Pages are crisp clean and unmarked. 1986. First Edition. Includes a bibliography of printing by Caxton in Cologne Bruges and Westminster. This book discusses a previously unknown Caxton printing and reproduces in facsimile vellum strips utilized in the binding of a volume of other Caxton imprints from the Rosenwald collection. Illustrated with 19 b/w reproductions. Bound in the original gilt-stamped green cloth. From the dust jacket: "In a remarkable feat of synthesis and historical imagination Needham weaves together the stories of William Caxton the wealthy cloth merchant who at fifty years of age mastered the newly invented art of printing and took the craft to England of the broadside indulgence he printed and of the institution he printed it for. The most common surviving form of early job-printing indulgence instruments were used to raise funds for the Roman church and its institutions. THE PRINTER & THE PARDONER: AN UNRECORDED INDULGENCE PRINTED BY WILLIAM CAXTON FOR THE HOSPITAL OF ST MARY ROUNCEVAL CHARING CROSS tells the story of that hospital notorious for fund-raising activities carried on by such as Chaucer's Pardoner. Literary history church history printing history and political and social history intersect in the study of the Rounceval indulgence. This newly discovered broadside from Caxton's shop becomes the forty-fourth item in a new census of Caxton imprints published as Appendix D in THE PRINTER & THE PARDONER. This 'Checklist of Caxton's Printing' includes 111 items printed in Cologne Bruges Westminster and Paris. It identifies every known piece of printing done by William Caxton and ranges them in a chronological sequence based on Needham's bibliographical researches."
