1849réf. 47625Philadelphia: Lindsay & Blakiston 1849. Very good. Early edition of this French reader for young US learners published as the cracks that would lead to the Civil War began to form. The world economic status of the US in 1849 was strong due in no small part to the country's ability to produce cotton cheaply through the labor of enslaved people. With the rise of Industrial Revolution technology people were able to move around the globe faster than every before - an urban American student learning French in this period was not only engaging in mental stimulation but actually stood a chance of using their skills to eventually converse with a real French person. ÆSOP'S FABLES IN FRENCH was published during this period offering moral anecdotes alongside "those idiomatic forms of speech" that "characterize a language" Advertisement. Scarce; OCLC locates only one holding of this edition. Duodecimo. 6'' x 3.5''. Original textured sheep-backed pink boards. 238 pages collated complete. Early partially removed ownership label to front board with last name Stocker. Early pencil ownership inscription to second blank. Early ink ownership inscription to page 3 matching ownership label. Scattered pencil annotations to margins. Binding with wear some dampstaining; careful repair to lower spine. Leaves with light foxing and occasional toning. Sound. Lindsay & Blakiston unknown

1538réf. 338977Basilae: In officina Heruagiana 1538. Collection first published by Froben 1518. A1-Z8: 393 5 pp. 8vo. Late 17th-century stamped-calf binding loss to head and foot of spine title page with borders drawn on it some loss to title page not affecting text annotated throughout some worming needs to be resewn and binding reattached title page should be repaired. Provenance: Johannis Miller. Collection first published by Froben 1518. A1-Z8: 393 5 pp. 8vo. With ownership signaure to the title page: "Ex Libris Johannis Miller pret. 1s. 0d Anno Dm 1693" a further ownership signature to the recto of the last leaf "Ex Libris Johannis Miller A D 1688" and annotations throughout the text. Rev. John Miller 1666-1724 was commissioned fort chaplain of the New York companies in 1692 spending 1692-1695 in New York: "Miller was the sole officiating Episcopal clergyman in the entire province of New York during the three years of his residence; his activities as evinced by contemporary records and his familiarity with all inhabited parts extended beyond the confines of the city." During this time he wrote extensive notes about New York and drew a map of the fort. When his returning vessel was overtaken by French Privateers he threw his documents overboard to destroy the intelligence contained therein. He later rewrote many of his observations and redrew the map from memory it's retained in his manuscripts at the British Museum from George Chalmers in 1842 and was later published in Valentine's 1842-3 Manual. He returned to England where he was given the post of vicar of Effingham gaining a reputation as a "worthy and respectable vicar" and "a man of research." His library was still "preserved with great care" by his successor in the beginning of the nineteenth century then consigned and sold in New York by Bangs and Company in 1894. A number of his books have found their way into prominent libraries and collections Stokes' Iconography; Paltsits Victor Hugo intr. "New Yorke Considered and Improved A.D. 1695 by John Miller" Electronic Texts in American Studies 17. The present work seems to have gone from him to another owner Richard Norton and then to Thomas Norton; the second page has the ownership signature and note: "Thomas Norton pretium / Thomae Dicitur Fr Richard". Thomas Norton could be Thomas Norton 1684-1748 Whig Member of Parliament of Ixworth Abbey Bury St. Edmunds Suffolk; the grandson of Col. Richard Norton M.P. 1615-1691 intimate friend of Cromwell; and nephew of Maj. Richard Norton.
