Best.-Nr. 415194Unbound. Near Fine. One legal folio folded at the top to make four pages. Old folds as filed soiling and small tears at the extremities of the folds very good or better. A certified handwritten copy prepared in March 1885 shortly before Grant's death of an 1880 contract between Grant and Lewis B. Brown of New York City. Signed by various clerks with one seal but NOT SIGNED BY GRANT. The document gives Grant ".forever a right of way to the Atlantic Ocean from Seabrook now Ocean Avenue over and upon the lot. and the privilege to erect a bathing house of moderate size upon the Shore of said Ocean. ." Presumably the "bathing house" was what we'd call a cabana. The document has been docketed and stamped in 1887 two years after Grant's death. Grant's shore house served as the Summer White House during his two terms from 1869-1877 obviously this right-of-way was issued after his term was over. unknown books
1981Best.-Nr. 509897Houghton Mifflin 1981. First Edition. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. FINE/NEAR FINE. SIGNED and INSCRIBED by Elytis on half-title 'For Stathis and Ralph' in GREEK. First English Edition First Printing. 74pp. Orange speckled paper over boards with blue-gilt lettering to front cover backed in blue finished cloth with silver-gilt spine lettering red endpapers. An exceedingly clean and crisp copy. Dust jacket has some trivial rubbing to head and tail of spine entirely crisp and bright otherwise. Ralph Sylvester and Stathis Orphanos were publishers of the fine-press publishing company 'Sylvester & Orphanos.' Stathis was a noted photographer and born of Greek parents maintaining a residence on the island of Samos throughout his life. First published in Greece in 1978 the year before Elytis was awarded the Nobel Prize Maria Nefeli was a stark departure from the earlier work that had won him renown as the greatest Greek poet of his generation. Its novelty gave many early readers pause but 'despite the initial reservations voiced by some critics Maria Nefeli came to be regarded as the summa of Elytis's later writings.' Poetry Foundation.

1885Best.-Nr. 151234New York: D. Appleton and Company 1885. Finely bound editions of Badeau’s important “eyewitness estimation of Grant’s performance during the war” a continuation of Grant's Personal Memoirs. Octavo Vols. II and III of three volumes original publisher's cloth stamped in gilt and black. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper of Vol. III in the year of publication "James C. Hunter Esq with compliments of A Badeau Xmas 1885." In very good. Rare signed by Badeau. Military History of Ulysses S. Grant by Union Brigadier General Adam Badeau—Grant’s aide-de-camp close associate and later literary collaborator—constitutes a substantial posthumous extension of Grant’s own narrative. Having served on Grant’s staff for much of the Civil War Badeau had sustained access to official correspondence operational planning and internal military deliberations. Although Grant’s Personal Memoirs 1885–1886 were completed shortly before his death Badeau assisted in their preparation and subsequently undertook a multi-volume study that expanded the documentary and analytical framework of Grant’s campaigns. Drawing upon wartime dispatches reports and private papers the work presents a detailed operational history while also engaging contemporary debates concerning command decisions and strategic coherence. As a result Military History of Ulysses S. Grant occupies an important position within late nineteenth-century Civil War historiography combining firsthand administrative proximity with retrospective analysis grounded in documentary sources.

Best.-Nr. 10113159 pp. & one leaf with index & colophon. Small 8vo 180 x 115 mm. orig. printed pictorial softcover spine worn author portrait on lower cover. Guaymas Mexico: Joaquín Mortiz August 1970. First and only edition of Carrión’s second book a collection of six short stories printed in a numbered edition of 3000 copies. In the 1960s Carrión 1941-89 was one of Mexico’s emerging literary talents; a number of his short stories had been published in leading journals and his first play El Gran Espectáculo was performed at the Casa de la Cultura de Tlacotalpan Veracruz to rave reviews. Following his studies in philosophy and letters at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México he spent time in France and Germany 1964-65 with the aid of scholarships learning both languages. Dissatisfaction with the Mexican literary world and local hostility toward the gay community drove Carrión to emigrate to Amsterdam in 1970 where he found a progressive and free-spirited milieu. From then on he conscientiously abandoned literature and fully dedicated his life and work to the visual arts in the form of books films social experiments performances mail art etc. This book represents the artist’s final moment as a traditional/conventional author preceding his conversion to experimental and avant-garde methods of communication. “In 1970 he published a second six-story collection De Alemania considered a more mature work. Here he has perfected the interior monologue which is the primary manner in which his characters disclose themselves. In some stories the salient characteristic is alienation but in others Carrión employs humor as a catalyst. Since such characteristics are not always mutually exclusive he does achieve a delicate balance between the two.”–Dictionary of Mexican Literature 1992 ed. Eladio Cortés p. 147.

The subtlety of this bookwork is apparent not only in the readymade of the wallpapers but also in the suggestion of a narrative that does not require a text for its construction: the simple association of the identities of the rooms’ owners in the first person informs us that the narrator has a teacher a wife etc. The progression of these identifications suggests a leaving of the family home to enter the world the framework of so many narratives found in short stories novellas and novels.

1872Best.-Nr. 55322Washington D.C.: United States Government Printing Office 1872. First edition. Softcover. vg. Octavo. 14pp. No wrappers with printed text starting on the first page. The printed text date May 14th 1872 relays an official Executive Communication from U.S President Ulysses S. Grant granting the United States Senate's Committee on Foreign Relations' previous request for information concerning the ongoing persecution of Jews in Romania and authorizing the transfer of said information from the U.S. State Department. The information here remitted to the Senate consists of a series of 14 pieces of correspondence dated October 6th 1871 - May 13th 1872 between the then U.S Consul to Romania Benjamin F. Piexotto 1834-1890 Second Assistant Secretary of State William Hunter Jr. 1805-1886 and U.S Secretary of State Hamilton Fish 1808-1893. The initial sections include the President's order the Secretary of State's introductory statement and a full list of correspondences included in chronological order. In the 1860s and 70s - following newly established autonomy from the Ottoman empire the unification of the Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia and the ascendancy of the newly elected Prince Domnitor Alexandru Ioan Cuza - Romania saw a new extreme wave of anti-Semitic measures laws and attitudes. At the prompting of their respective Jewish citizens a number of countries in the international community voiced their opposition to these developments and sought to put pressure on the new Romanian government. In 1870 the United States entered the fray with the appointment of Jewish-American lawyer Benjamin F. Piexotto 1834-1890 as the new American consul in Bucharest. Piexotto served in Romania from 1871-1876 and was able to improve the conditions for Romania Jews during his tenure. He promoted the ideas of the Haskalah The Jewish Enlightenment and modernization to the community and among his numerous endeavors was responsible for improvements in modern Jewish education through the establishment of the Society for the culture of the Israelites in Roumania Societate Pentra Cultura Israelit Romania. Piexotto also funded the Roumänische Post in an effort to combat anti-Semitism in the Romanian Press. Ultimately his efforts are credited for strengthening Jewish community structures in the country and ultimately laying the groundwork for eventual Jewish emancipation as allowed for in the provisions of the 1878 Treaty of Berlin.

1864Best.-Nr. 101729Np New York: For sale by all News Agents. Price $1 per 100. 1864. 4to. Broadside text in two columns; creased from prior folding and split at creases some toning and paper clip rust staining. Republic campaign broadside reprinting an interview with Lincoln by former Wisconsin State Assemblyman Joseph T. Mills and former state Governor Alexander Williams Randall. Lincoln vigorously defends the use of Black soldiers in the Union Army against Democratic candidate McClellan's strategy of leniency towards Southern States rejoining the Union: "The slightest knowledge of Arithmetic will prove to any man that the rebel armies cannot be destroyed with Democratic strategy. It would sacrifice all the white men of the North to do it. There are now in the service of the United States near 200000 able-bodied colored men most of them under arms defending and acquiring Union territory. The Democratic strategy demands that these forces be disbanded and that the masters be conciliated by restoring them to slavery. Will you give our enemies such military advantages. to get them back into the Union Abandon all the posts now garrisoned by black men take 200000 men from our side and put them in the battle-field or corn-field against us and we would be compelled to abandon the war in three weeks. . There have been men base enough to propose to me to return to slavery the black warriors of Port Hudson and Olustee and thus win the respect of the masters they fought. Should I do so I should deserve to be damned in time and eternity. My enemies pretend I am now carrying on this war for the sole purpose of abolition. So long as I am president it shall be carried on for the sole purpose of restoring the Union. But no human power can subdue this Rebellion without the use of the emancipation policy and every other policy calculated to weaken the moral and physical forces of the Rebellion." This is the first separate printing of the interview which was first published as "The Loyal Road to Peace and the Disloyal Road to Ruin President Lincoln on Democratic Strategy" in the Wisconsin Grant County Herald August 1864. The broadside also prints Grant's letter to E.B. Washbourne "The Rebels have now in their ranks their last man. The little boys and old men are guarding prisoners guarding railroad bridges and forming a good part of their garrisons for entrenched positions " and a poem by Bayard Taylor on the Democrats' presidential nominating convention.
