Gray, Barry (Robert Barry Coffin) [1826-1886]
MATRIMONIAL INFELICITIES, WITH AN OCCASIONAL FELICITY, BY WAY OF CONTRAST
pp. x, 269. 12mo. 19.5 cm. Original full cloth binding. Some age stain. Manuscript ownership of H. A. Mills. Coffin was a New York journalist and litterateur. His books (usually written under the pseudonym Barry Gray) were extremely popular through the Civil War era, but were quickly forgotten. His humor and observations seemed to lack the bite and originality that made for long-term loyalty and reputation. This particular work, however, contains some entertaining observations on the practice and content of popular publishing in the era. Curious contemporary domestic habits are, of course, discussed in colorful detail. Wright 'American Fiction' II:591. "Marriage is neither heaven nor hell. It is simply purgatory" -- Abraham Lincoln.

A Naturalist; Born, Ignaz von.
MONACHOLOGIA: Or, Handbook of the Natural History of Monks: Arranged According To the Linnaen System. By A Naturalist.
77 p. + Sepia Engraved Half Title, Frontis and Full Page Plates of Monks. Also 4 full page plates of drawings of Monk's and Nun's habits, cowls, gowns, etc. printed on pink paper. Ruled in black throughout. Inked ownership of Geo. T. Strong, 1858 on title page. Strong was Treasurer U.S. Sanitary Commission during the Civil War. Marbled endpapers. Top edge gilt. 215mm. Original quarter leather over marbled boards. Binding worn with rear board detached. First edition in English. Ignaz von Born (1742-1791) was Austrian by birth. Educated at a Jesuit college in Vienna, he spent 16 months as a member of that order before becoming thoroughly disillusioned. He studied law for a time in Prague and then toured Holland, France and Germany studying mineralogy. He returned to Prague in 1770, and worked in the department of Mines and the Mint. In 1776 he returned to Austria and wrote several books on mineralogy, including a very influential study in 1786 dealing with extracting precious metals through amalgamation. In addition to his scientific work, Born was known for his satires, especially of the Jesuits. In this work he studies the habits and habitats of that most pernicious of species - the clerical Monk, in a clever send-up of the still novel Linnaean system. He was a friend of fellow Freemason Mozart and other Illuminati. Translated by Count Valerian Krasinski. SCARCE. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! POPERY BX 2

Wilkes, George.
McCLELLAN: From Ball's Bluff to Antietam.
40 p. 8vo. 235 mm. Original printed wraps, sewn, as issued. On the rear wrap is an ad for Wilkes' Spirit of the Times. The American Gentleman's Newspaper. A Chronicle of the Turf, Field Sports, the Army and the Stage. From the Preface: "The following articles are portions of a series which appeared originally in Wilkes' Spirit of the Times [July 9, 1862-March 30, 1863], and which were devoted to the review of General McClellan and his battles, from the time of the commencement of his career at Ball's Bluff, down to what Mr. Wilkes has justly characterized as 'the unspeakably disgraceful battle of Antietam'. Mr. Wilkes began to criticize McClellan's movements, and in placing a few of his articles before the public, in connected form, it is not out of place to state, that the universal verdict of the country has attributed more influence to them in removing McClellan from command, than all other pressures put together." The Contents include: Philosophy of Idolatry : Is McClellan a hero?; McClellan inside and out; A Refutation; The Opiate of the North; The tragedy at Centreville; The Battle of Antietam; Fitz Napoleon no more; The New Leader; The Modern Arnold; Tete d'Armee; McClellan : a Retrospect; Little Mac; and The Conservative Plot. George Brinton McClellan (1826-1885) George Brinton McClellan was a major general during the Civil War. He organized the famous Army of the Potomac and served briefly (November 1861 to March 1862) as the general-in-chief of the Union Army. Early in the war, McClellan played an important role in raising a well-trained and organized army for the Union. McClellan's Peninsula Campaign in 1862 ended in failure, with retreats from attacks by General Robert E. Lee's smaller Army of Northern Virginia and an unfulfilled plan to seize the Confederate capital of Richmond. His performance at the bloody Battle of Antietam blunted Lee's invasion of Maryland, but allowed Lee to eke out a precarious tactical draw and avoid destruction, despite being outnumbered. As a result, McClellan's leadership skills during battles were questioned by U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, who eventually removed him from command, first as general-in-chief, then from the Army of the Potomac. The author George Wilkes (1820-1885), became co-editor, with William T. Porter, of the "Spirit of the Times" in New York in 1850, and subsequently editor and owner. The publisher, Sinclair Tousey (1818-1887) began as a newspaper-carrier and, in 1840, he established and published in Louisville, Kentucky, the " Daily Times," the first penny paper that was issued west of the Allegheny mountains. In 1853 he became partner in a news agency in New York and, in 1860, he Tousey became sole proprietor of the agency - out of which the American news company was organized, in 1864. He joined the Republican party at its organization, was an enthusiastic Abolitionist, writing and speaking against slavery. Scarce first edition in original state. RARE ANTI-McCLELLAN TRACT.
