Notes bibliographiques et historiques: Cette anthologie graphique et poétique a été mise en œuvre par l'éditeur bernois E.W. Kornfeld qui devait en assurer la diffusion et Sam Francis, qui en était l'editeur avec l'auteur Walasse Ting ; ils en partagèrent les frais. Le livre lui-même fut réalisé à Paris; les lithographies furent tirées chez Maurice Beaudet et la typographie par Georges Girard. Antoine Coron souligne le caractère de global book de “1¢ Life”, ses deux pôles étant New York, centre du pop art américain - une douzaine d'artistes se rattachent à ce mouvement - et Paris, mais un Paris peuplé d'Américains installés ou de passage, de Belges, de Néerlandais, de Danois... Dix nationalités sont représentées dans le livre où les seuls Français sont ses artisans imprimeurs. “1¢ Life” apparut comme le livre d'une génération de peintres américains et européens, dont certains (Walasse Ting et Sam Francis parmi les Américains) avaient vécu et s'étaient connus à Paris durant les années 50. [...] Livre de peintres par excellence, étonnant par la profusion de ses contributions graphiques, l'invention colorée de sa typographie, “1¢ Life”, comme “Poésie de mots inconnus”, fait tomber toute réticence face aux livres collectifs. Pourtant, à la différence du livre d’Iliazd, ce n’est pas la fermeté de sa construction qui en assure l’unité, mais la surprise que ménage le renouvellement constant de sa mise en pages (Antoine Coron). -- SHORT ENGLISH DESCRIPTION: A superb copy of Ting's collaborative masterpiece.

1936réf. 2961Atlanta: NP 1936. Letter. Very Good. LETTER WRITTEN AND SIGNED BY MARGARET MITCHELL DETAILING NAMING OF CLASSIC CHARACTER SCARLETT O’HARA. Margaret Mitchell’s Gone With the Wind was published in the summer of 1936 to almost instantaneous success—reaching one million in sales by December at the unheard-of price of three dollars a monumental fee in an America still recovering from the Great Depression. Immediately the book polarized public debate. On one side were the critics: so-called ‘serious’ writers and high-brow detractors bemoaning as Nathaniel Hawthorne once put it “a damned mob of scribbling women” feeding “trash” to the public imagination. On the other side was a public deeply engaged with Mitchell’s powerful storytelling. As even Mitchell’s harshest critics admitted even if Gone With the Wind was not a great novel it did undoubtedly make the reader “weep at a deathbed” and “exult at a sudden rescue.” In an America still reeling from the Great Depression this escape was a much-needed one. Straight away Gone With the Wind’s protagonist Scarlett O’Hara confounded the public. Psychoanalytic journals and public psychiatrists concluded that “America’s new princess was a ‘partial psychopath’ and a person of ‘inward hollowness.’” Mitchell was amused and excited by the public’s response although at times frustrated by the press’s questions. When asked by a Vogue reporter to analyze Scarlett O’Hara in terms of her ‘modernity’ Mitchell responded by asking the reporter if they thought “hard-headed women only came to life in the 1930s Why don’t they read the Old Testament” Some argued that Scarlett O’Hara served as a symbol of new and changing gender roles. A 1939 Reader’s Digest poll found that O’Hara’s primary appeal lay in her position as “the master of her world rather than its victim.” A 1957 survey of high school girls found that three-quarters of respondents identified themselves as Scarlett over any other character in the book. In this way many young women in the mid-20th century saw Scarlett O’Hara as a symbol of the bold women they might want to be—a character defined by as the novel’s dust jacket put it her identity as “a loyal friend and true gentlewoman.” This is a letter postmarked January 5th 1937 only seven months after the original publication of Gone With the Wind during the crucial period in which the public discussed analyzed and fought over who Scarlett O’Hara was—and what she might represent. In this letter Mitchell responds to a fan named Miss Gay Scarlett asking about the origin of the name Scarlett O’Hara. In response to this question Mitchell expresses concern regarding the naming of her character—claiming she “didn’t wish to embarrass any present owners of the name” although she wished to convey to Miss Gay Scarlett that her full “name is so pretty that I wish I had thought of it for it would make a wonderful name for a character in a book.” It is quite unique that Mitchell expresses fear of embarrassing someone with the last name Scarlett rather than O’Hara demonstrating the intense care Mitchell put into her writing researching individuals with the first and last name Scarlett before naming her characters. Mitchell also shows her sensitivity towards the concerns of her reader responding to their questions with kindness and interest. As part of an America searching for themselves in Scarlett O’Hara the letter writer Miss Scarlett looked for a deeper understanding of her own name by prodding Margaret Mitchell on her character’s identity. Even as Gone With the Wind’s critics derided the book as empty Miss Scarlett’s letter shows the intense meaning imbued in every aspect of the book by a deeply interested American public. The text reads in full: “Atlanta Georgia January 4 1936 but actually 1937 Dear Miss Scarlett: I have been away from town for a month and received no letters during my absence so I am just now finishing your letter. Your name is so pretty that I wish I had thought of it for it would make a wonderful name for a character in a book. As to where I got the name Scarlett — that is a long story. Scarlett was not originally her name and when I found it necessary to change her name I decided I wanted a two-syllable “family” name. I wanted a Georgia name too but not a name ever borne by a family living in Clayton County. I didn’t wish to embarrass any present owners of the name who might be living now in this section of Georgia. The name Scarlett is a very well known and old name in our coast section near Savannah and Brunswick. After considering hundreds of names I chose it as I couldn’t find in the records of Clayton County that any family named Scarlett had ever lived there. It may interest you to know that the Scarlett family is a prominent one in Maryland. Sincerely signed Margaret Mitchell printed Margaret Mitchell” Atlanta: np 1936. One page on one sheet 7.25 x 11 in of Mitchell's letterhead with her name printed in blue at top left. With original envelope postmarked Jan 5 1937 from Atlanta and with Mitchell's address on back.

réf. 5491In the field Port Gibson Mississippi May 1863. 4to 8" x 12" lightly lined sheets fastened together at top. 33 pp. of manuscript. A compelling brigade battlefield report composed in the immediate wake of the Battle of Port Gibson Mississippi 1 May '63 an assault that set the stage for Grant's pivotal siege of Vicksburg; the eight reports of Army of the Tennessee regiments and batteries chronicle extensive combat; the capture of Confederate colors; the taking of hundreds of rebel prisoners and guns; casualties and more. Likely transcribed by a regimental brigade clerk this fascinating document comprises highly detailed reports submitted by regimental and battery commanders with a prefatory brigade report by Brig. Gen. George F. McGinnis 1826-1910 Commander of the 1st Brig. 12th Div. 13th Army Corps of the Army of the Tennessee. Included here are the official reports for each of the following regimental battery commands: the 11th 24th 34th and 46th Indiana; the 2nd and 16th Ohio; and the 29th Wisconsin. All reports record combat and provide accounts of the participation of these regiments and batteries in the Battle of Port Gibson. Commanders whose companies endured serious casualties append lists of the killed and wounded and often record the specific nature of injuries. The seven regimental reports were written by the following commanders: Col. Dan Macauley 11th Indiana Inf.; Col. Wm. J. Splicely 24th Ind. Inf. Vols.; Col. R. H. Cameron 34th Ind. Inf. AKA "Morton Rifles"; Col. Chas. R. Gill 29th Regiment Wis. Inf.; Capt. James A. Mitchell 16th Ohio Inf.; Col. Thos. H. Bringhims 46th Ind. Inf.; Lieut. Aug. Beach 2nd Ohio Bat. The Battle of Port Gibson-in which the Union prevailed-was fought near Port Gibson Mississippi during Grant's Vicksburg Campaign. On 30 April '63 the Army of the Tennessee-composed of the 13th and 17th Corps-crossed the Mississippi River at Bruinsbur some thirty miles south of Vicksburg. Grant sought to move east toward the capital at Jackson Mississippi to prevent the Rebel Army commanded by Gen. Joseph E. Johnston from reinforcing Vicksburg. Port Gibson-ten miles east of Bruinsburg on the Bayou Pierre River-was the best route of approach and thus became the Union's primary target. Intense fighting broke out around midnight on 1 May when Union forces came upon Rebel Maj. Gen. John Bowen's men in the brush around Port Gibson. After a brief cessation the battle continued again at dawn. The fighting continued for the majority of the day as multiple Confederate lines suffered under the weight of the Union assault. After a rebel counterattack was thwarted in the late afternoon the Confederate forces retreated for good. 131 of Grant's men were killed and 719 were wounded of the 23000 engaged; 60 Confederate men-including Gen. Edward Tracy-were killed and 340 were wounded of some 8000 engaged. While Grant lost more men his victory enabled his army to secure a foothold on Mississippi soil. In turn Grant launched his campaign deeper into the interior of the state and started moving his army inland and eastward towards Jackson without resistance. Revealing the Confederate's inability to defend the line of the Mississippi River the Union victory forced the Confederate evacuation of Grand Gulf precipitating the fall of Vicksburg. "Local lore has it that Union forces marching through Mississippi spared the town of Port Gibson from the torch because it was too beautiful to burn" American Battlefield Trust. SOME REPRESENTATIVE PASSAGES: May 6 1863; Brig. Gen. George F. McGinnis "The balance of my brigade moved rapidly to the front and were soon within range of a rebel battery supported by a brigade of Infantry.a fearfully destructive fire was poured upon them that Col. Cameron very properly and with much coolness and judgment halted his command and protected them from the enemy's fire behind the brow of the hill.the 11th Ind. which had been in reserve moved to the front in double quick.the gunners and horses were shot down and the brigade in support turned their backs upon us and fled in confusion from the field. The result of this gallant dart.was the capture of the two twelve pounder Howitzers three Caissons three wagons loaded with ammunition three stand of colors several horses and over two hundred prisoners." Col. Dan Macauley 11th Ind. Inf. "My command was immediately ordered forward to support the 2nd .took up a position in the ravine and on the brow of the hill and opened fire upon the enemy. At this point the conflict was terrific and was kept up without any intermission whatever for an hour and thirty-seven minutes when the enemy finding that they could not drive us from our position retreated in dismay and made no further resistance on that part of the field. During this last engagement I received information that the rebels." "The 24th Ind. and 29th Wisconsin stood the brunt of this engagement occupying the front and most dangerous position. It was here that their heaviest loss occurred owing to the nature of the ground on which they moved.The expressions of admiration in which the two batteries were handled the precision and rapidity with which they were fired were frequent and well deserved. Officers and men are entitled to much praise." "I cannot refrain however from special mention of the 29th Wisconsin not that they fought longer or more gallantly than others; not that are more brave or better disciplined but that it is a new Regiment and this was the first time that they had been engaged with an enemy or that any of their men had even been under fire. They fought like veterans and suffered severely as their report of casual this will show." "A deep ravine choked by an almost impassable canebrake and undergrowth was before no through which with great exertion we succeeded in forcing our way. there was stationed a rebel battery supported by a heavy force of infantry." Col. Wm. J. Splicely 24th Ind. Inf. Vols. "At about daylight on the morning of May 1st 1863. Here we formed in line stacked arms and commenced breakfast. At about 7 O'clock A.M. while eating our whole line was assailed by a terrific shower of shot & shell from the enemy's batteries. Our line was soon formed.we moved rapidly over the hills and ravines and dense thickets of cane vines and underbrush." "We moved forward at double quick time formed in line in a deep gulch or ravine & were soon engaged with the enemy.The battle at this point raged fiercely for one hour & a half; my men standing up like veterans under this terrific fire the whole of that time. Here it was that I lost most of the killed & wounded of my command. About 3 o'clock PM the enemy gave way and left us in possession of the field." Col. R. H. Cameron 34th Ind. Inf. "After a fatiguing night march from Brewers Borough Mississippi. we halted at a small creek at daylight for a cup of coffee within sound of the enemy's cannon.we moved up and formed in line of battle in a ravine where not only the enemy's shells but rifle bullets fell in it very thick. Here we had Lieut. Poling of Comp. "E" and Sergeant Hallace of Comp. "H" seriously wounded." "After a hot fire for fifteen minutes the 11th Ind. came to our relief and both Regiments advanced with a shout upon the rebel guns.At this point it was impossible to distinguish the 11th Ind. from my own regiment except by their uniform as they were indiscriminately mixed with each other and the enemy." Col. Chas. R. Gill 29th Reg. Wis. Inf. "The well directed fire from my Reg. prevented the advance of this part of his line one foot. I produced fearful slaughter in the enemies ranks.I take great pleasure and pride in informing you that although he position of the regiment was a trying one being unexpectedly attached & so situated that it could not change position to advantage no man flinched-all faced the enemy bravely while their comrades fell dead & wounded at their sides.The night before the battle the Reg. had marched all night with knapsacks four days rations in harisacks & one hundred rounds of ammunition to each man." Capt. James A. Mitchell 16th Ohio Inf. "In front of the Battery the enemy appeared in large numbers in the bushy field beyond the ravine.-Formed Battery & commenced firing immediately with what effect could not be seen as the enemy were concealed in the grass & bushes. From this point about a mile to the east on a high hill commanding a full view of the field was what appeared to be the enemy's post of observation or Head Quarters." "During the action up to about 4 P.M. when the enemy disappeared from the Battery's front the men were exposed to a brisk fire from the enemy's sharpshooters said to be posted in the trees-although the gun carriages were struck several times by rifle balls yet strange enough none of the men or horses were injured."

réf. 5491In the field Port Gibson Mississippi May 1863. 4to 8" x 12" lightly lined sheets fastened together at top. 33 pp. of manuscript. A compelling brigade battlefield report composed in the immediate wake of the Battle of Port Gibson Mississippi 1 May '63 an assault that set the stage for Grant's pivotal siege of Vicksburg; the eight reports of Army of the Tennessee regiments and batteries chronicle extensive combat; the capture of Confederate colors; the taking of hundreds of rebel prisoners and guns; casualties and more. Likely transcribed by a regimental brigade clerk this fascinating document comprises highly detailed reports submitted by regimental and battery commanders with a prefatory brigade report by Brig. Gen. George F. McGinnis 1826-1910 Commander of the 1st Brig. 12th Div. 13th Army Corps of the Army of the Tennessee. Included here are the official reports for each of the following regimental battery commands: the 11th 24th 34th and 46th Indiana; the 2nd and 16th Ohio; and the 29th Wisconsin. All reports record combat and provide accounts of the participation of these regiments and batteries in the Battle of Port Gibson. Commanders whose companies endured serious casualties append lists of the killed and wounded and often record the specific nature of injuries. The seven regimental reports were written by the following commanders: Col. Dan Macauley 11th Indiana Inf.; Col. Wm. J. Splicely 24th Ind. Inf. Vols.; Col. R. H. Cameron 34th Ind. Inf. AKA "Morton Rifles"; Col. Chas. R. Gill 29th Regiment Wis. Inf.; Capt. James A. Mitchell 16th Ohio Inf.; Col. Thos. H. Bringhims 46th Ind. Inf.; Lieut. Aug. Beach 2nd Ohio Bat. The Battle of Port Gibson-in which the Union prevailed-was fought near Port Gibson Mississippi during Grant's Vicksburg Campaign. On 30 April '63 the Army of the Tennessee-composed of the 13th and 17th Corps-crossed the Mississippi River at Bruinsbur some thirty miles south of Vicksburg. Grant sought to move east toward the capital at Jackson Mississippi to prevent the Rebel Army commanded by Gen. Joseph E. Johnston from reinforcing Vicksburg. Port Gibson-ten miles east of Bruinsburg on the Bayou Pierre River-was the best route of approach and thus became the Union's primary target. Intense fighting broke out around midnight on 1 May when Union forces came upon Rebel Maj. Gen. John Bowen's men in the brush around Port Gibson. After a brief cessation the battle continued again at dawn. The fighting continued for the majority of the day as multiple Confederate lines suffered under the weight of the Union assault. After a rebel counterattack was thwarted in the late afternoon the Confederate forces retreated for good. 131 of Grant's men were killed and 719 were wounded of the 23000 engaged; 60 Confederate men-including Gen. Edward Tracy-were killed and 340 were wounded of some 8000 engaged. While Grant lost more men his victory enabled his army to secure a foothold on Mississippi soil. In turn Grant launched his campaign deeper into the interior of the state and started moving his army inland and eastward towards Jackson without resistance. Revealing the Confederate's inability to defend the line of the Mississippi River the Union victory forced the Confederate evacuation of Grand Gulf precipitating the fall of Vicksburg. "Local lore has it that Union forces marching through Mississippi spared the town of Port Gibson from the torch because it was too beautiful to burn" American Battlefield Trust. SOME REPRESENTATIVE PASSAGES: May 6 1863; Brig. Gen. George F. McGinnis "The balance of my brigade moved rapidly to the front and were soon within range of a rebel battery supported by a brigade of Infantry.a fearfully destructive fire was poured upon them that Col. Cameron very properly and with much coolness and judgment halted his command and protected them from the enemy's fire behind the brow of the hill.the 11th Ind. which had been in reserve moved to the front in double quick.the gunners and horses were shot down and the brigade in support turned their backs upon us and fled in confusion from the field. The result of this gallant dart.was the capture of the two twelve pounder Howitzers three Caissons three wagons loaded with ammunition three stand of colors several horses and over two hundred prisoners." Col. Dan Macauley 11th Ind. Inf. "My command was immediately ordered forward to support the 2nd .took up a position in the ravine and on the brow of the hill and opened fire upon the enemy. At this point the conflict was terrific and was kept up without any intermission whatever for an hour and thirty-seven minutes when the enemy finding that they could not drive us from our position retreated in dismay and made no further resistance on that part of the field. During this last engagement I received information that the rebels." "The 24th Ind. and 29th Wisconsin stood the brunt of this engagement occupying the front and most dangerous position. It was here that their heaviest loss occurred owing to the nature of the ground on which they moved.The expressions of admiration in which the two batteries were handled the precision and rapidity with which they were fired were frequent and well deserved. Officers and men are entitled to much praise." "I cannot refrain however from special mention of the 29th Wisconsin not that they fought longer or more gallantly than others; not that are more brave or better disciplined but that it is a new Regiment and this was the first time that they had been engaged with an enemy or that any of their men had even been under fire. They fought like veterans and suffered severely as their report of casual this will show." "A deep ravine choked by an almost impassable canebrake and undergrowth was before no through which with great exertion we succeeded in forcing our way. there was stationed a rebel battery supported by a heavy force of infantry."

Haynes Cambridge MA: MIT Press 1992 ISBN: 0262061457 / 9780262061452 Hardcover Description The first edition of Essentials of Programming Languages EOPL is one of the most influential textbooks in the formal study of programming languages. Written by Daniel P. Friedman Mitchell Wand and Christopher T. Haynes the book provides a rigorous introduction to: operational semantics continuations and control structures interpreters and abstract machines type systems and program analysis functional and logic programming foundations The 1992 MIT Press hardcover is the true first printing preceding later revised editions that reshaped the text. Early printings in strong condition are increasingly scarce. Association Copy Significance Your copy contains a signed dated inscription from Daniel P. Friedman to Hassan Aït‑Kaci making it a primary‑source artifact linking two major contributors to programming language theory and computational logic. This matters because: Friedman is a foundational figure in Scheme continuations and semantics. Aït‑Kaci is a foundational figure in logic programming type systems and computational semantics. Association copies between major researchers in the same field are highly prized by archives and institutional buyers. The inscription documents a direct intellectual relationship between the authors and Aït‑Kaci. This elevates the book from a standard collectible to a research‑grade provenance item. In institutional terms this is the kind of copy that becomes the centerpiece of a programming‑languages archive. Cambridge, MA: MIT Press hardcover
