1940ref. 5238661940. Near Fine. An original unpublished typescript of a mid-20th Century minstrelsy together with six mimeographed copies of the typescript. The original typescript consists of 12 quarto pages typed in orange on rectos only paginated in ink by hand and a one-page List of Characters. In fine condition. The six mimeographed copies consist of 12 folio sheets 9" x 14" stapled at the topedge onto a cardboard back cover accompanied by two mimeographed copies of the list of characters on separate quarto sheets. The mimeographed copies are lightly toned three or four copies have some slight staining one copy has an owner name in ink and one is lightly annotated near fine or better overall. The list of 21 characters includes: The Interlocutor Hambones Tambo Shakespeare of Harlem Seven-Up Jackson Suntan Cootie-Locks Dimwit Muskrat Geo. Washington Jones and others. The single-spaced typescript with about 50-60 lines per page is laced with racist language and stereotypes and includes dialogue musical cues stage directions and narration of the Interlocutor; it ends with one of two poems by Shakespeare of Harlem: “Honey dis am Rufus Tappin’ on yoh window-pane … ” and a skit by Seven-Up Jackson: “the only known real live gold-fish swallowing act in history … .” Internal evidence including references to an atomic bomb attack on Tokyo suggests that the play was likely written late in or soon after the Second World War. In 1953 two popular films with similar titles were released: Walt Disney’s Thanksgiving Day Mirthquakes and Merry Mirthquakes featuring a young Liberace as Master of Ceremonies. It is also possible that the character “Shakespeare of Harlem” is an allusion to Langton Hughes whose book of poems “Shakespeare of Harlem” was first published in 1942. An unpublished and unrecorded American minstrelsy well-preserved in near fine condition. The presence of multiple copies inveighs strongly that these scripts were actively used in a group production. unknown

First edition. 12" x 8" quarter leather spine and blue paper over boards n. p. 36 pp. 4 pp. blank 4 pp. All brands and description are in manuscript. This is a most unusual brand book. Some actual brands are shown as drawn and others are described. Some writing on the covers mentions Sun Flower County Mississippi. Perhaps there were ranchers in the vicinity. This is the first and only manuscript brand book we have seen or heard about for Mississippi or a printed version. This manuscript brand book with reference to Sunflower County Mississippi presents numerous hand-drawn brands and descriptions. We are unaware of any printed or manuscript brand books from Mississippi. The period of 1845 to 1869 is very early for any brand book! Sunflower County was formed 15 Feb 1844 from Bolivar County. It was named for the Sunflower River which flows through it. One early settler B.G. Humphries later became the Govenor. Other notable settlers were: James J. Chenning Chewning G.B. Wilds Col. Eli Waits J.Y. McNeill mcMeal Col. Hezekiah McNabb Ezekiel McNabb Mayor Frank Hawkins and Capt John Hawkins. Research of an 1847 tax list and a list of federal land grants given to individuals in the area offer names of early landowners . Several of these names and brands are included in this brand book. lists included Not listed in Adams' Rampaging Herd. We feel this is a very rare brand book.

The Committees of Surveillance were established during the Reign of Terror September 5 1793 - July 27 1794 as part of the revolutionary government's efforts to identify and suppress counter-revolutionary activities. These committees were tasked with monitoring individuals' behavior enforcing revolutionary laws and ensuring loyalty to the revolutionary government. The document outlines the powers duties and procedures of these committees as well as the penalties for those found to be opposing the revolution providing a unique and fascinating insight into the legal and administrative framework of revolutionary France – arguable one of the most profound and radical moments in modern European history. The Committee of Surveillance in France during 1793 was established as a part of the radical phase of the French Revolution. Its function was to oversee and monitor the activities of suspected counter-revolutionaries and enemies of the Revolution as well as to enforce laws related to internal security and revolutionary principles. The committee was tasked with identifying individuals or groups deemed to be a threat to the revolutionary government often leading to arrests interrogations and in some cases executions by the Revolutionary Tribunal. It played a significant role in the Reign of Terror a period marked by extreme political violence and repression in France. The present work is of the utmost scarcity. We have not been able to trace a single copy at auction and OCLC only lists one copy in Paris. Nadaillac Catalogue d’une Collection Importante Sur la Revolution Francaise 724 unknown

Expliquez par des vers françois par un Père CapucinBy Un Père Capucin probably Ludovicus van Leuven Philippe de VilersA handsome and complete example of one of the most visually compelling French devotional emblem books of the seventeenth century: the first Paris edition of 1631 containing the complete numbered sequence of 118 full-page copper-engraved emblems contrasting Divine and Human Love.Published in Paris by the engraver and print publisher Jean Messager the volume transforms theology into a remarkable sequence of miniature allegorical dramas. Winged personifications of Divine and Human Love hunt fish fight play suffer travel trade and confront temptation vanity demons death and salvation. Each image is accompanied by a Latin motto or scriptural reference and explanatory French verse creating an extraordinarily rich visual meditation upon desire mortality and the struggle between earthly attachment and spiritual love.The engravings remain the great attraction of the book: frequently strange sometimes macabre and often unexpectedly playful they include scenes of skeletons devils apparitions crucifixion archery hunting games domestic pursuits and symbolic landscapes. Taken together they form a distinctive piece of Baroque visual theology and an important contribution to the Counter-Reformation emblem tradition.The work is anonymous on the title-page attributed only to un Père Capucin. Modern bibliographical scholarship including the Morgan Library catalogue following Adams considers the author probably to have been Ludovicus van Leuven secular name Philippe de Vilers the Capuchin responsible for the major 1629 expansion of the earlier Antwerp emblem sequence.The iconographical ancestry of the book is complex. An earlier series Amoris divini et humani effectus varii had appeared at Antwerp in 1626 under Michiel Snijders. A pirated Paris issue followed in 1628 and Ludovicus van Leuven's considerably enlarged Amoris divini et humani antipathia appeared in 1629 with 83 engravings. The present 1631 Paris publication expanded the concept further to 118 numbered emblems presenting the mature French form of the series.It also belongs to the broader seventeenth-century flourishing of devotional emblem literature associated with works such as Herman Hugo's enormously influential Pia Desideria while remaining a distinct work with its own unusual and extensive iconographical programme.A particularly appealing copy in handsome nineteenth-century dark-blue morocco with the complete emblem sequence strong impressions and attractive marbled endpapers.Les Emblemes d'Amour Divin et Humain Ensemble belongs to the great European tradition of the emblem book in which image motto and text combine to communicate meanings that no single element conveys alone.Here the central opposition is between Divine Love and Human or Worldly Love.Love is personified repeatedly as winged or childlike figures who perform recognisable human activities.

1790ref. 846n/a: n/a 1790. First Edition. Cardboard covers. Very good. Early Manuscript Defense of the Critique of Pure Reason Original one-of-a-kind handwritten manuscript defense of Kants Epistemology. 196-page manuscript in clear German cursive with some deletions and corrections ink on clean paper. 1790 Quarto. An extensive presentation and defense of Kant's theory of knowledge probably written as the basis for a lecture or series of lectures. There are five main sections: Einleitung 34 paragraphs Theorie des Vorstellungsvermögens überhaupt 30 paragraphs Theorie der Sinnlichkeit 35 paragraphs Theorie des Verstandes 64 paragraphs Kritik der bisherigen Methaphisick 21 paragraphs Many of the paragraphs contain numbered Anmerkungen" further reflections. In these the author shows himself to be a stout defender of Kant's controversial new theories: "Vor Kant ist es keinem eingefallen die Gemüthsvermögen zu untersuchen die Erkenntniße aus dem Erkennbaren zu schöpfen und die Philosophie nicht von den so genannten Objeckten zu erbetteln. Man begehet keine tolle Freiheit wenn man behauptet daß es vor Kant wohl resonierende Köpfe und philosophische Versuche aber eigentlich keine Philosophie und Philosophen gegeben habe. The identity of the author remains unknown. Interestingly the final sentence announces a sequel: "Näher darüber in unseren zukünftigen moralischen Untersuchungen wo wir für das Ens Entium einen begreiflicheren Gott wieder finden werden.

1522ref. 9527Rome: Marcello Silber. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1522. Leather. Very scarce post-incunable edition of the famous marvels of the City of Rome bound as is common with a work on the indulgences of the churches of Rome. With 8 full page woodcuts papal arms and large initial. In two parts: 55 of 56 8 ff. A8-g8 missing a1 plus the 8 unnumbered leaves of the Mirabilia without signatures or catch phrases. Printing information on the Indulgentiae on g8 lacks title with image of wolf feeding the twins. Leaves have old hand-inked page numbers continuous through both parts. Small marks and occasional light stainsfirst few leaves have damp mark at bottom edge first leaf has marginal losses at bottom and stronger marks old neat ink notation at top of leaf date of 1522 written in top of leaf has papal seal of Hadrian VI 1522-1523. The Mirabilia has no title colophon nor illustration it is 22/23 lines with the only woodcut being the small first initial. In renewed leather boards with a new handsome spine with 5 raised bands and gilt. Renewed endpapers. Handsomely printed in Gothic type with 8 magnificent full page woodcuts plus the insignia on a2. The lines on the legendary Pope Joan have been neatly crossed out. The Mirabilia Romae is a rare text one of the first printed guide books to the marvels of the Eternal City. The tradition of the Mirabilia started in the medieval period as a guide for the use of Pilgrims combining Christian beliefs and the mythology and history of Rome. "Unhampered by any very accurate knowledge of the historical continuity of the city the unknown author has described the monuments of Rome displaying a considerable amount of inventive faculty" according to the Catholic Encyclopedia. The printer of this work is Marcello Silber who ran the family establishment in Rome until 1527. His father Eucharius Silber had printed a number of earlier editions of the Mirabilia including a 1491 incunable edition. This work with its wonderful woodcut illustrations is scarce in any edition. The Indulgentie conforms to G-250 of Rossetti's Rome I with 24 lines. We have not been able to identify which Mirabilia Rome Urbis this is: although the printing looks like Silber the paper is not the same as the Indulgentiae and as far as we can tell it does not conform to any of the Mirabilia in OCLC Rossetti Sander nor USTC. A very attractive copy inside and out. Provenance: the Joseph Mendham collection. ; Woodcut; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 55 8 pages . Marcello Silber hardcover
