First Edition. <br/><br/>First performed in Paris at the Conservatoire National on May 18 1892 and at the Théâtre National de l'Opéra on June 17 1892. <br/><br/>"Charpentier carried his spirit of revolt to the Villa Medici and like Debussy before him escaped from Rome to Paris on several occasions. He managed however to write the nucleus of his life's work there: the orchestral suite Impressions d'Italie the symphonie-drame La vie du poète a latterday Lélio and most of the libretto and the first act of his most famous work Louise. Charpentier's growing success in the 1890s with La vie du poète and open-air extravaganzas like the Sérénade à Watteau and La couronnement de la muse coupled with the expected scandal attached to the opera's promiscuous theme and the excitement of the Paris Exhibition led to a box-office triumph in February 1900 though the composer had nearly starved during the previous year. The vociferous young left wing hailed him as the saviour of French music though it was undoubtedly the sociological ideals of this first opera of women's liberation rather than its music which appealed."

‎Carpenter Work in Philadelphia: Martin John and WH. W. H.‎

‎ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT ACCOUNT BOOK FOR PHILADELPHIA CARPENTERS JOHN AND W.H. MARTIN RECORDING DAILY WORK SUPPLIES AND EARNINGS 1835 - 1866‎

‎Philadelphia 1866. 15316pp. Contemporary half calf and marbled boards. Binding worn and rubbed. Very good. An interesting carpenter's account book from 19th-century Philadelphia containing a voluminous amount of entries listing client names types of carpentry work done and the costs thereof. Internal evidence his name on pages 52 and 114 suggests that this belonged to Philadelphia carpenters John and W.H. Martin. The accounts start on July 22 1835 exactly one month after the 1835 Philadelphia general strike ended. Workers' rights and formative unions owe much to this strike in Philadelphia the first general strike by wage workers in North America. The strike helped alleviate long hours and low pay by involving some 20000 workers who demanded a ten-hour work day and increased wages. The strike was very successful ending in an almost complete victory for the workers. <br> <br> About half of the ledger deals with work done in the first five years in which it was kept 1835-1840. There are no entries from June 1847 to June 1849 and only sporadic entries from 1857 to the final entries in 1866; most of the rest of the accounts are from 1840 to 1855 except the two-year hiatus. <br> <br> The account book lists a wide assortment of different types of work accomplished by carpenters including framing putting up awnings "repairing a privey seat" hanging doors and windows putting up lightning rods making shutters mending floors and much more. In addition Martin seemed to occasionally make furniture specifically benches and tables for which there are some entries here. It also contains important information on the prices paid by tradesmen for supplies in Philadelphia at the time mostly lumber and nails in this case. <br> <br> Although there is no explicit ownership signature both internal evidence and other material purchased from the same estate suggest John Martin as the principal craftsperson and W.H. Martin as an employee or other principal of the business. The ledger offers much insight into American trade in one of its most important cities at a time of immense growth. <br> <br> A fascinating account book with much detail on the development of Philadelphia private homes in the middle of the 19th century. hardcover books‎

‎London: George Allen & Unwin 1925. First edition. Spine slightly faded else nearly fine. First edition of these two complementary studies of Shelley both focusing on his psychosexual nature. Carpenter in the first part of the book is "impelled to conclude that the poet's nature was really intermediate or double in character -- INTERMEDIATE as between the masculine and feminine or DOUBLE as having that twofold outlook upon the world. The time has gone by when a remark of this kind could be interpreted as derogatory." In the second part Barnefield brings forward "considerable positive evidence from Shelley's life and writings to show that in him was a strangely double nature and that there was certainly a homosexual COMPONENT in his make-up."
