A Sixteenth Century Mexican Broadside from the collection of Emilio Valtón. Described with a Checklist by Edwin H. Carpenter.

1965réf. LV1993Los Angeles:: Dawson’s Book Shop 1965. 1965. Folio. 14 pp. Title printed in red & black; front pocket. Original quarter beige cloth with blue-gray boards and a gilt-device on upper cover printed spine label. Occidental/ Lawrence Clark Powell gift bookplate. Fine. LIMITED EDITION of 140 copies designed and printed by Saul & Lillian Marks at the Plantin Press. Valtón owned thirty-nine pre-1600 broadsheets listed here by Ed Carpenter 1915-1995. This leaf book contains an original printed leaf from the first press in the New World. It is known that all copies of this edition differ some printed leaves being more desirable. The present specimen is a promissory note opening with the printed phrase "Sepan quantos estra carta vieren come yo . . ." translates closely to "Know by all men that this letter . . ." The accompanying essay describes that similar legal documents were among the first printed documents in Mexico. This was because certain legal phraseology allowed for a document to print the standard words needed and then add the necessary text in manuscript as with this specimen. Dr. Emilio Valtón was the first bibliographer to collect this extremely early and otherwise ignored form of printing in Spain. "Carta de pago" power of attorney. Gothic type. Approx. 9 x 12 ½ inches. 44 lines. Printed on one side. With a leading capital letter S followed by the phrase cited above "Sepan. . ." followed by seven lines of manuscript text. Then in printed form begins "Generalmente para a en todos mis pleytos causas ceuiles y criminal les mouidos y poz mouer que yo be y tengo con qual esquier personas y las tales y otras quale . . ." The verso also has a nine-line manuscript with elaborate signature. By inference this piece is attributed to Pedro Ocharte. See: Valtón Emilio.

Autograph letter signed to Mr. John Paget

1879réf. 41099London 1879. Carpenter William B. 1813-85. Autograph letter signed to Mr. John Paget 1811-98. London 56 Regents Part Rd. N.W. June 2 1879. 4pp. 178 x 114 mm. A few tiny pin-holes but fine otherwise. From English physiologist and naturalist William B. Carpenter who "helped shape the modern life sciences in Britain Oxford DNB through both his writings and his work as a teacher and administrator at what is now the University of London. Carpenter performed valuable researches in marine zoology and was directly influential in persuading the British Admiralty to sponsor the Challenger expedition the first major scientific study of the deep oceans. Carpenter is also recognized as one of the founders of the modern theory of the adaptive unconscious-he observed that the human perceptual system and the mechanism of human thought operates almost completely outside of conscious awareness. Carpenter's letter which discusses a false confession to murder made by a mentally unbalanced young man reads in part as follows: Dear Mr. Paget In turning out my papers at the University today I have come upon a document which I forward to you containing the Father's statement of his Son's relation to the "Brompton Murder" case with full particulars of the latter's confession and its inconsistency with the facts. I believe that I did not send in this to the Home Secy.; but that what I specially urged upon him was the evidence with which Knowles had supplied me of the "cracky" nature of the youth's mind and of the obviously hereditary tendency to brood as shown in the father and aunt-the latter an old servant of Knowles. And I remember also that there was evidence of the youth having had money in the Savings Bank and of his having drawn out a pound just before the Crystal Palace Police Fête. This altogether made so strong an impression on Mr. Bruce that he at once commuted the sentence; and the family were so sensible that the lad was not fit to take care of himself that they expressed no disappointment at his not having received a free pardon. . . . Carpenter's correspondent was the police magistrate and author John Paget whose Paradoxes and Puzzles published in 1874 included accounts of a number of sensational crimes. We have not been able to identify the murder case to which Carpenter refers in his letter. . unknown books

Female Leader in Women's Education & Penal Reform Movement Mary Carpenter Autograph Letter Signed

réf. 16330Mary Carpenter - Female Leader in Women's Education who opened "ragged schools" to give an education to the children of the poor. Autograph Letter Signed Red Lodge House 4 pages folded from a single sheet. 4"x6". To "Dear Esther." Signed at the closing "M.C." Feb. 13 187 Her signature and closing lines trail onto the adjoining first page. She writes in part: "Will you kindly send at once and by parcel delivery a copy of the 2nd volume of 'Our Convicts' to the editor of the Illustrated News at their office 198 Strand. Mr Acton says he has not received a copy. I fear there have been many mistakes this time as I have too many 2nd vols. Please to keep a list of what copies of those 10 are sent off. I have had very favourable and friendly reviews; the 'Inquirer' as usual on that subject cold & dry; not one has yet grasped however the meaning of the book in the smallest degree. It is a comfort however that those who understand the subject are perfectly satisfied; the Baron Von Wollenberg & Mr M. wrote very warmly and I have reason to hope that many thoughtful persons are reading it so I must wait patiently for the rest to spring up & am only thankful to have been thus enabled to bear a testimony which will remain to principles of the highest importance to the well being and morality of the country:- if one tenth of this kind of thought which are devoted to speculation and theology were given to extending the reign of God by converting sinners how different would the world be! I shall be glad when you have finished theology and are engaged in the spread of religion. Reading Miss Aitkin's letters has led me to open Channing and I am interested in perceiving how completely my reformatory work is in accordance with his views. Mary Carpenter was one of the foremost public speakers of her time and is best remembered for the huge contribution she made to educational and penal reform. She opened "ragged schools" to give an education to the children of the poor and introduced reformatories which took a caring and constructive stance for young offenders. Mary Carpenter also campaigned for better education for women and reforms to prisons. Following a meeting with Frederick Douglass Mary Carpenter became a fervent opposer of the slave trade particularly the Fugitive Slave Law of 1850. She travelled extensively in America Europe and India where she also sought reforms similar to those she pursued in Britain. She was a pioneer in the field of equality for women and stood almost alone as a female orator who was widely listened to and respected. Not all criticism was favourable however and in 1864 the year prior to this letter her books and her work were condemned by Pope Pius IX. unknown books
