1926ref. 140498Beverly Hills CA: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer MGM 1926. Draft script for the 1927 Silent film. Based on the 1913 yellow peril play by Henry Maurice Vernon and Harold Owen and previously adapted for the screen in 1919 directed by Maurice Elvey and starring Matheson Lang. Lon Chaney in full yellowface murders his daughter after discovering she loves the son of a British diplomat then seeks revenge on son and his the entire family. Anna May Wong who has a small role in the film was originally considered for the role of the daughter but censorship of mixed race relationships on the screen caused the role going to a white actress a sadly all-too-familiar story in her career. Wong would leave Hollywood for Europe the following year after once again being denied the lead role in a film because of her race this time in "The Crimson City."

WITH: The Gospel According to St. Mark title taken from spine label: London: Moon Society a Branch of the National Institute for the Blind 1938. Large oblong folio 28.5 × 34.5 cm. Original blind brown stiff card boards with printed spine label; 91 pp. In lieu of a title page a leaf with transcribed raised alphabet is present: "A Simplified System of Embossed Reading for the Use of the Blind Invented by William Moon L.L.D &c.". Sticker to inside front wrapper "Provided by the United States Government through the Library of Congress". Boards lightly scuffed and stained spine starting. Internally chipped and toned due to stock. Still about very good. Two volumes embossed in Moon type a form of raised type for the visually impaired based on the Latin alphabet developed in 1843-1845 by Dr. William Moon 1818-1894. The only non-Braille system that survives to this day Moon type is most popular among the elderly and readers who went blind later in life as was the case with Moon himself. Born in Kent Moon learned to read by sight first before losing his vision completely by the age of 21. With the loss of vision he also gave up his plans to join the clergy becoming instead a teacher for the blind and a philanthropist. As a teacher Moon focused on the development of the new raised type based on the simplified Latin characters which were easier to remember for those who knew letters by sight but were less spatially economical than the Braille system. The first Moon type book appeared in 1847. To promote the new system Moon founded and funded the Moon Society in Brighton Sussex publishing primarily devotional books during his lifetime. His ambitious project to release the entirety of the Bible in monthly instalments was completed in 1858 printed in 60 volumes. The present volume of the Gospel According to St. Mark appears to be a later edition of the original instalment. The volume is likely to be contemporaneous with the 1938 Christmas annual offered alongside it with the library rubber-stamps in the rear dating from 1939 and 1942. The two volumes also have similar binding and labelling differing only in the notation of the numerals on the title leaf. "When Dr. Moon died in 1894 books in his type were printed in 419 languages and dialects" See: Gabriel Farell The Story of Blindness p. 103. The geographic breadth of the use of the Moon type followed British colonial interests in India and China. In the United States the Moon system competed with and superseded the initially more popular embossed Boston Line Type developed in the 1830s and used extensively at the Perkins School for the Blind in Massachusetts which was similarly based on the Latin alphabet. Moon first promoted his system with a traveling tour he undertook in the US with his daughter Adelaide Moon in 1880s. His son the ophthalmologist Robert Moon emigrated to Philadelphia in the same period and continued to promote his father's system by publishing the Moon magazine starting in 1905 and helping to manage the Moon Society until his death 1914. The National Institute for the Blind would take over the Moon Society thereafter. J. Robert Atkinson would undertake the first printing of Moon books in the United States in 1933. The founder of the Braille Institute of America in Los Angeles Atkinson saw the project as an alternative for the few blind readers who preferred Moon type to Braille likely noting the need of immigrants to California from Asia. Despite this undertaking the present volumes were apparently imported to the US from London. As of May 2026 KVK OCLC show one copy of the Gospel According to St. Mark in North America and no copies of the 1938 Christmas Annual with two copies of the 1937 Christmas Annual held in North America. unknown

1655ref. bn1541A Rouen chez Jacques Cailloüe, dans la Cour du Palais Relié 1655 Très rare ouvrage, ici bien complet de son frontispice présentant Copernic, Kepler et Galilée. 'L'oeuvre s'adresse au grand public plutôt qu'aux experts sur le sujet, et son but est de populariser la vision de l'univers que l'on doit à Copernic, Kepler et Galilée. Le principal argument est que la Lune n'est pas un disque brillant mais plutôt un monde avec un paysage comme celui de la Terre. Bien sûr Wilkins n'est pas le 1er à avancer une telle théorie ; par exemple Galilée l'a indiqué de manière semblable. De manière peut-être plus surprenante, il pense que la Lune est une planète habitable et prédit qu'un jour le voyage vers elle sera possible. Ici aussi Wilkins n'est pas le 1er à faire cette suggestion mais elle est typique de la manière dont il pense, permettant à son esprit de vagabonder au milieu d'idées que d'autres auraient trouvé trop non conventionnelles pour les considérer.' In-12 relié plein parchemin (relié et lavé en 1861 d'après une note sur la garde). D'après une note figurant au 1er contre-plat, l'ouvrage a été « lavé et relié en 1861 ». Sa couverture est en plein parchemin, probablement de récupération : des restes d'écriture manuscrite sont encore parfaitement visibles. Cette technique, assez usuelle aux XIXe et début du XXe siècle produit parfois des résultats imparfaits. Ici cependant, la reliure a été soigneusement réalisée et ne souffre d'aucun défaut.

1929ref. 82794Indianapolis IN: The Bobs-Merrill Company 1929. First edition first printing. Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "To Jean Hersholt a great artist from the author of this book Lorna Moon". With the bookplate of the Motion Picture Country House tipped-in above the inscription and two MPCH ink stamps to the front pastedown. The author Nora Low grew up in Aberdeenshire but eventually moved to the US and became a Hollywood screenwriter working on a number of hits in the 1920s including Mr. Wu starring Lon Chaney Don't Tell Everything 1921 starring Gloria Swanson and Her Husband's Trademark 1922 with Gloria Swanson and directed by Cecil B. DeMille Love 1927 and Anna Karenina starring Greta Garbo. She also wrote two semi-autobiographical literary works: the short story collection Doorways in Drumorty 1925 and the present novel Dark Star 1929 which was adapted as the film Min and Bill in 1930. Both were based on her childhood in a small inward looking town in Scotland and explore similar themes including "the particular codes and conventions created by such a closed community patterns of surveillance strictures of public morality evidence of private despair. They engage with the margins of this world presenting itinerants outcasts and misfits with a distinct lack of sentimentality. Low's work is also striking in its awareness of the position of women in the community: her stories deal with minutiae with networks of power which operate in apparently insignificant areas" ODNB. Though Hersholt one of the leading Hollywood actors of the early 20th century never appeared in a film written by Low the two may have been acquainted either socially or professionally. The bookplate records that this copy was donated by Hersholt to the Motion Picture Country House a retirement community for Hollywood figures that as president of the Motion Picture Relief Fund he was instrumental in founding in 1940. A lovely copy uncommon in such nice condition with an excellent association. Octavo. Original black cloth white cloth backstrip titles to spine in black and red red top-stain. With dust jacket. A little pale spotting to boards top stain faded. An excellent copy in the jacket with faded spine panel a few minor nicks and a short closed tear to the lower panel. hardcover

"Ce pays inconnu des terriens est la Lune et l’inversion du point de vue « au clair de terre » permet de réduire certaines certitudes à l’état de préjugés ou réciproquement de fournir une justification de plusieurs préjugés. Un chapitre est consacré aux « causes de tant de lois bizarres, de coutumes singulières, d’usages extravagants ou barbares ». C’est un véritable cabinet de curiosités anthropologiques que le lecteur est invité à visiter. Il découvre des peuples qui pratiquent les sacrifices humains, des enfants qui dévorent leurs parents, des veuves qui se font brûler avec leur époux, des hommes qui mettent les femmes en commun, des femmes qui se prostituent au temple de Vénus... Les cas de superstitions qui seront discutés par Rétif et Nodier sont ici replacés dans une perspective anthropologique plus large qui relativise les us et coutumes à travers le monde et du même coup la frontière entre préjugé et raison. (in, Réhabilitation des préjugés et crise des Lumières, Michel Delon, p. 143-156. Revue Germanique internationale, 1995, La crise des Lumières.) "Edition originale de cette utopie lunaire. L'auteur, musicographe et auteur d'un opéra comique, fait l'éloge, dans son "Epître à moi-même" en début du vol. 1, de l'amour-propre comme facteur de perfectionnement moral." (Querard II, 791). Cet ouvrage a parfois été attribué à Thiphaigne de la Roche. Jost de Villeneuve est peu connu. On sait qu'il fut directeur des finances de la Toscane (notice Bnf), et auteur dramatique On lui doit notammen Zéphir et Fleurette, opéra-comique, ballet par Messieurs de Villeneuve et L. [Laujon.] (1750). Le Voyageur philosophe est son principal ouvrage. "Cette odyssée philosophique est un songe au bout duquel le voyageur se retrouve au bas de son lit. Le pays du rêve, celui des Sélénites (habitants de la lune), permet la comparaison de l'état social et de l'état naturel : dans l'absence du mien et du tien, il n'y a pas de vice, pas de crime, pas de crainte de la mort. A Sélénopolis, les sciences ont fait de grands progrès. C'est le siècle des Lumières parfaitement réalisé." (A. Soboul, Utopies au siècle des Lumières, Hachette, n°034/5).
