1893réf. 14427Toledo OH: The Toledo Blade Co 1893. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Octavo 510pp. illustrated. BAL's "third printing" collating to 510pp. and with the frontispiece portrait of Locke appearing to be an integral leaf. Very good in the publisher's tan cloth over thin boards. A cheaply produced book with the printing plates heavily degraded in some places producing some shoddy-quality printing. Still sound and clean better than usually found with only mild wear to the extremities and the inner hinges tender but sound. Locke a humorist in the vein of his contemporary Mark Twain wrote letters to the Toledo Blade--a newspaper which he would go on to buy in 1867--under the pseudonym of "Petroleum V. Nasby." Nasby was an ignorant bigot who supposedly defected from the Union to the Confederate army during the Civil War though he deserts the Confederates after being unable to adjust to army life. He is constantly misspelling words and betraying a drunken oafish hateful personality as he bloviates on world affairs. Like Twain Locke was partly celebrating but mostly criticizing the ordinary American ignoramus though amusing satire. Lincoln reportedly devoured the Nasby letters and made a habit of reading them aloud to visiting dignitaries. BAL 11851. The Toledo Blade Co hardcover

1821réf. 5359New Haven Conn.: A. H. Maltby and Co. 1821. Hardcover. Good. Rare American imprint by a publisher active from about 1819-1850 who began publishing the Yale Literary Review; book first published in 1709. This title is often confused with a book published in 1836 in France by Baron von Holbach; Holbach's book is anti-organized religion and Trenchard's is not; Trenchard was a former Quaker who theorized that 'transports' etc. attributed to God are owing to natural causes. Title page mistakenly attributes this title to John Locke the reason for this is unknown; we found a list of books misattributed to Locke in a Locke bibliography but this is not on it. This is a chapbook about 3in x 5in recently bound in nice leather with marbled endpapers; new binding is near fine the chapbook only good original covers discolored stained rubbed and chipped; chip and tear to side edge of chapbook front cover closed with non-acidic Filmoplast P; many pages have been turned down and most have worn creased corners; pages stained and darkened; stain to top edge and foreedge; foreedge stain mostly visible on p51-52; corners of rear blank flyleaf torn off; 52pp. A.
