1837rif. 21083Osnaburg Stark County Ohio: Heinrich Kurtz 1837. First Edition. Original muslin backed marbled paper over boards. Very good; some spotting. 8vo 57 3 - index pp. The book is signed with numbers and bound in fours with an inserted bifolium in each signature signed with the number and an asterisk. Thus there are 6 leaves in each of the five signatures. The paper is not watermarked. A most unusual manual of folk remedies and herbal compounds that contains 470 numbered paragraphs of succinct medical formulae cures and advice for man and animals. The copy offered here is without the title page that bears the Kurtz imprint. The listed title is taken from the copy at the NLM http://resource.nlm.nih.gov/8308472. At some point close to the publication date the title page was omitted or cancelled. After inspection of the title page in another copy it is worth noting that it was printed from an engraved plate and inserted. Kurtz may have run out of copies to insert. So what appears in the text is the truncated drop-title at the head of the text on page 1 thus omitting the imprint and title reference to the manuscripts of the famous Virginia physician that are as Kurtz claimed the basis for the text. The copy offered here is bound in a contemporary cloth backed boards. A coarse type of muslin was used as the backing and is the same on the three copies that have come into our possession. The bindings are identical on all the copies the pattern and color of the marbled paper are the same on two copies with the third having a color variant in the marbling. The books derive from one source and appear to have been bound in this manner so that they could be offered while masking the printer and the origin. The book is unlike anything Kurtz printed during his career see Durnbaugh "Henry Kurtz Man of the Book" in Ohio History v. 76 #3 1967 - i.e. religious periodicals hymnals ABCs.

rif. 3728502New York 1837. Small octavo. 1 engraved title 2 91 1 1 10pp. Album with manuscript additions and two hand-drawn star charts and 13 pen and ink outline portraits. Quarter green cloth with original pale yellow silk-patterned paper covered boards; dark blue endpapers; all edges gilt. Album with engraved title leaf with vignette illustration. Album re-backed with green cloth; new cloth reinforced hinges; rubbing to edges of boards; scattered foxing; very good. Unusual handwritten American astrological album dated 1837 containing detailed horoscope readings hand-drawn star charts predictive portrait drawings dream interpretations and lottery number advice. The manuscript records two full horoscope readings: an extensive analysis of Robert H. Gould not yet twenty-one and a separate “Lady’s Horoscope” for a woman apparently born in 1810. Each section is accompanied by a hand-drawn astrological chart mapping the celestial signs governing the subject’s birth with the individuals consistently described as “natives.” Gould’s horoscope is notably elaborate forecasting marriage career prospects travel to the southern United States and Mexico “In 7 years you will be in the South you will be Rich in Mexico and in the Southern States” longevity and specific advice on favorable days of action. It also provides recommended lottery numbers and predictions concerning children prosperity and personal relationships. The album includes pen-and-ink portraits depicting Gould at age twenty-one figures said to influence his future and a child identified as one of his sons. The lady’s horoscope offers comparable predictions including marriage faithfulness personal fortune bodily injury and death and is illustrated with drawings of her future husband or sincere friend. Written with confident authority the compiler explicitly distinguishes his interpretations from contemporary printed dream books suggesting familiarity with popular astrological and oneiric literature of the period. An exceptionally rare survival documenting antebellum astrology and popular belief in the United States. Note. 1. Album New York: Published by Solomon King 1830 unrecorded in OCLC. zxc unknown
