1864Best.-Nr. 14111864 Imp. Boehm et Fils, Montpellier, 1864. In-8 demi-chagrin, dos orné. (vii), 845 pages. 5 planches gravées hors-texte
In-8, broché sous coutures, (1) f. de titre, (2) p. d'Avis de l'éditeur, 86 p. Edition à la date de l'originale de ce célèbre récit de détention et d'évasion, augmentée de "Extrait du mémoire de M. de Comeyras" et d'une "Addition du mémoire". Le titre courant porte: "Mémoires du sieur Henri Masers de Latude, contenant les opérations qu'il a pratiquées pour se sauver une fois de la Bastille, & deux fois du donjon de Vincennes, avec la suite de ces événements". La rédaction du texte est attribuée, par Barbier, à Jean-Yrieix de Beaupoil marquis de Saint-Aulaire. Aventurier excentrique, Masers de Latude passa 35 années (1749-1784) en prison pour avoir adressé une machine infernale à la marquise de Pompadour. Il parvint à s'évader de La Bastille en 1766. Arrêté à Amsterdam, il fut emprisonné à Vincennes d'où il s'évada encore à deux reprises, mais fut chaque fois repris. Sa libération définitive n'intervint qu'en 1784. "Peu d’hommes ont pris dans l’imagination populaire une plus grande place. Le célèbre prisonnier semble avoir résumé dans sa vie de souffrances toutes les iniquités d’un gouvernement arbitraire" (F. Funck-Brentano). De fait cette brochure, qui eut un immense succès, contribua au climat d'agitation prérévolutionnaire. La Révolution fit de Latude un héros de la lutte contre l'arbitraire royal et l'Assemblée lui octroya une pension. Bon exemplaire, imprimé sur beau papier de Hollande, entièrement non rogné.

1744Best.-Nr. 46404203Amsterdam, Desbordes, 1744 ; 2 vol. in-12, veau fauve, dos ornés, tranches rouges. (Reliures de l’époque) Portrait gravé par Scotin, 12 ff. n. ch., 429 pp. (1 p.), 12 ff. de table - 2 ff., 501 pp., (1 p.), 11 ff.Traduction française d’une biographie parue en italien en 1692. On peut lire les biographies de Gregorio Leti de deux manières : en considérant Leti comme un historien et lui repprocher, comme le font toutes les anciennes bibliographies, son inexactitude, ou alors comme on lit un romancier et dans ce cas on est séduit par son goût pour le merveilleux. Leti (né à Milan en 1630) était un aventurier : jeunesse dissipée, liberté de mœurs, goût pour les voyages. Ses errances le conduisirent un jour à Genève où il se fit calviniste et publia des écrits stairiques contre Rome. Ce zèle de converti lui valut la protection des magistrats genevois qui lui offrirent en 1674 des lettres de bourgeoisie, une faveur qu’ils n’avaient jamais accordé à personne avant lui. Mais en 1679 il dut quitter Genève pour avoir publié des satires contre quelques familles de la ville. Après un bref séjour en France où les protestants étaient de nouveau inquiétés, il gagna l’Angleterre. Charles II l’accueillit avec bonté, lui offrit 1000 écus et lui parmit d’écrire une histoire d’Angleterre. Un fois de plus, l’ouvrage déplut à cause de certains traits satiriques. En 1682 Leti se réfugia à Amsterdam où il mourut en 1701.Bayle le présente comme un nouvel Arétin. On connaît surtout de Leti Le Putanisme de Rome, la continuation du Divorce céleste de Pallavicino et son roman sur les amours de Charles de Gonzague et de Marguerite de Rovère.

He was ordained at Hebrew Union College in 1884 and began his rabbinic career began in Little Rock AR before moving to Chicago in 1887 as assistant to Dr. Bernard Felsenthal at Zion Congregation.

1917Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original sheet music. Folio. (35 x 25 cm). In Ottoman script. [4] p., scores. [SHEET MUSIC] Sedarabân Mürebb' Zincir ikâ'inda. Darü'l-Elhan Külliyati No. 1. Darülelhan (The House of Melodies) is not a real publishinghouse but a music school established at 10 January 1917, in Istanbul. The principle aim in the establishment of this school was to follow a scientific way in the education and teaching of musical arts, and introduce the old pieces by printing them. Some courses on Turkish and Western music should be given in a course of four years. This school closed in the days of Independence War and reopened by the attempts of Haydar Beg the mayor of Istanbul in 1923. On this publications, it's written usually "Our establishment started to publish the beautiful pieces inhereted from the most famous Turkish composers in order to conserve them. These publications are checked by a scientifically responsible council and found ass quite correct. Up to now, the pieces contining Setarabân, Mâye, Evç-ârâ, Acem Asirân, Müste'ar, Nevâ, Gulizâr, Beyâti, Mâhur, Ferâhfezâ, Ferâhnâk, Nev-eser, Nühüft and Arazbâr Buselik tones, havng the number 72 have already been put on sale for 5 Kurus at the magazine of Samli Iskender in Bayezid Square". (Source: Music publications from Ottoman Empire up to today, 1876-1986.; ALANER, BÜLENT). Haci Sadullah Aga was a composer and performer. He was the son of Hafiz Kerim Efendi, one of the muezzins of Fatih Mosque, and was one of the greatest composers of the reign of Sultan Selim III. In some sources, the information regarding his life have been jumbled together with other namesake composers of his era. Some of his works may have been confused with those of other namesake composers. Therefore, information regarding his life is not precise. As far as it is known, after his first education, he was accepted to Enderun Mektebi (The Palace School in which the devshirmeh [T.N. selected for the army] children were educated) and he was educated in literature and history and gained skill in javelin, Indian club and horse riding. He had served in the Russo-Turkish War in 1767. It is said that he received great attention from Selim III because he had a beautiful voice and he was a master singer (vocalist) and that he was the head of the fasil committee of the sultan for some time. Sadullah Aga, who is accepted as the most powerful composer of the school of Selim III, was also the 'musahib' (talk friend) of the sultan and later he became the head 'musahib'. He was an eloquent and cheerful person with a nice personality. He served as a music teacher at Enderun and served at the Palace during the reign of Mahmud II. Sadullah Agha followed the footsteps of Itrî and under the influence of Itrî he had integrated lyricism to his compositions, which are considered to be among the greatest pieces of the classical repertoire. He developed a style that is pertinent to classical rules but is more lyrical. His influence on all composers of his period can be seen. Around thirty works of Haci Sadullah Aga, who had composed hundreds of works, has reached the present day. Compositions and 'semaî' are dominant among these works. All of these works are secular and mostly literal works. His works contain a high level of lyricism and musicality. Especially all of his works that formed the 'Bayati-Araban' set are among the most beautiful examples of the classical music repertoire. Sadullah Aga, who is among the elite composers of Classical Turkish music, lived his last years by secluding to the residence given to him seven years before his death by the sultan and died at the age of seventy eight. He has many great songs in various tones. Darülelhan published 121 scores before 1928, this is the first one. Özege 3585. Not in OCLC. Extremely rare.
1794148 p. + Frontis portrait of Muir engraved by John Scoles. 8vo. 210 mm. Early Henry family autograph ownership. ExLib stamp of the Lancaster Mechanic's Society. Age stain, but still good. Thomas Muir [the Younger of Huntershill](1765-1799) was a Scottish political reformer. As a student he embraced controversy, and he soon developed a reputation as a lawyer who was willing to appear in court on behalf of poor clients who could not afford to pay a fee and was a fierce critic of a legal system that he believed was biased in favor of the rich. As a young Whig he helped form Friends of the People branches were formed throughout Scotland. Muir was arrested January, 1793, and charged with sedition. After being interrogated for several hours he was released on bail. Muir now traveled to London where he had talks with other leaders of the Friends of the People. The leaders of the movement were concerned about the violence taking place in France. Muir agreed to go to France and join Tom Paine in his attempts to persuade the leaders of the revolution to abandon the plan to execute Louis XVI. Muir was unsuccessful and after having talks with the Girondist leaders, he returned to Scotland, and was promptly arrested. Edinburgh he was tried for sedition before Lord Braxfield and a hand-picked jury of anti-reformers. Muir was found guilty and sentenced to fourteen years' transportation. Afraid that Scottish reformers would attempt to rescue Muir, he was quickly removed to London. Radicals in the House of Commons immediately began a campaign to save the men now being described as the Scottish Martyrs. Attempts to stop the men being transported failed and in May 1794, the ship Surprise left Portsmouth and began its 13,000 mile journey to Botany Bay. The men arrived on 25th October to join the Colony of 1,908 convicts. As a political prisoner, Muir was given more freedom than most convicts and he was allowed to buy a small farm close to Sydney Cove. After two years at Port Jackson, New South Wales, Thomas Muir escaped with the help of Francis Peron, the chief mate of the American ship, the Otter of Boston. Muir reached Vancouver Island but after being offered help by a Spanish captain, he was arrested and taken on board the Ninfa. While on the way to Cadiz the Ninfa was attacked by the British warship Irresistible. During the battle Thomas Muir was hit by a glancing blow from a cannonball which smashed his left cheekbone and seriously injured both his eyes. For several days Muir's condition was so bad he was expected to die. When the French government heard about what had happened to Muir they tried to persuade the Spanish authorities to release him. The Spanish eventually agreed and Muir arrived in Bordeaux in November 1797. Muir joined up with Tom Paine in Paris where they continued the fight for parliamentary reform in Britain. However, Muir had never fully recovered from the wound he received on the Ninfa and his health began to deteriorate at the end of 1798. He was taken to Chantilly where he died on 26th January, 1799.
