1937réf. 0001744ITALY EGYPT THE HOLY LAND. Good. 1937. On offer is an interesting original photo journal created and compiled by Reverend Alex D. Riccio as he states on the first page wherein he has drawn the words "1930-1934 Remembrances of my stay in Europe Rev. Alex D. Riccio." In all there are approximately 184 photos all original save for a handful of real photo postcards all dated between 1930 - 1934. The first 133 photos are exactly that and one sees immediately the trip was a religious 'Grand Tour' as there are many photos of Catholic priests and students at a particular seminary in what is most certainly Italy. The names Cascine and Cortile Cortale are written on some of the photos. He also visits Jerusalem and Egypt with photos from those places also. Some other inscriptions include: "Avro from window; waiters at Council dinner taken in Cortile; Church of St. Claire Assisi; Feast of St. Magdalene; St. Paul's Rome; Facade of Holy Sepulcher; Mount Tabor; Unity of cars before entering into Jerusalem; Inside view of Mosque; Valley of Jehoshaphat; Mosque of Omar; Pyramids of Cairo; Garden of Olives; On board ship Palestine; Bethlehem" and many many more. In a later part of the album are 51 more photos: a number of wedding photos but 17 of them show the results of the great flood of 1936. I believe most of them are taken of the state of Maine possibly Portland Middletown and Cromwell. Some of these are also marked on the back. Many are rather incredible photos too. Most of the photos in this particular album are NOT glued in but placed in the album using the four corner mounts. Most of the photos are black and white and in good shape. The album itself as far as the pages and binding is in great shape but the cover is in bad shape. It is very worn around the edges and has fallen away from the binding. The leather cover features a super art deco design. It measures about 8" x 10 ¾". Please note: this is one of two photo albums compiled by Riccio. The related album is specific to his time at Fordham University. SELLER ID 0001743; Manuscript; 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF GREAT NEW ENGLAND FLOOD ALEX D.

1849réf. 4387New York:: V.G. Audubon 1849-54. First Royal Octavo Edition. Fine with original hand-coloring. A fine original hand-colored lithograph on paper. Royal Octavo 10.5 x 7 inches. Drawn from nature by John Audubon drawn on stone by William E. Hitchcock and lithographed printed and colored by JT Bowen Philadelphia. Accompanied by the original text written by the Reverend John Bachman DD. The Quadrupeds of North America; portrayals of 155 four-legged mammals native to North America depicted in their natural environment was a collaborative effort between the premier nineteenth century American Ornithologist Naturalist Artist and Frontiersman John James Audubon 1785-1851 his sons John Woodhouse Audubon and Victor Gifford Audubon and the naturalist Reverend John Bachman. The four men were unified in their desire to document and portray what they recognized as a dwindling resource; America's native animals amidst the natural beauty of the untouched American landscape. Their collective wisdom predicted the impending effects of Manifest Destiny- man's encroachment on the wilderness and natural landscape of North America- and as such was the impetus for the journey. To document and then portray America's native animals in the splendor and majesty of the uninhabited North American landscape the team traveled westward from Audubon's home in Mill Grove Pennsylvania up the Missouri River and through territory just previously explored by Lewis and Clark; from the Canadian border of the Northern Russian Territories- now Alaska- then southward to Mexico. Arduous and monumental the journey is recognized in the pathos of the compositions. However the true legacy of the work rests on John James Audubon's prolific vision and mastery of his subject and medium. Heretofore unseen The Quadrupeds of North American is a wildlife classic: an essential and timeless contribution to both Early American culture and the Art of American Wildlife Painting. The American Review a Whig journal heralded the national origin of the Quadrupeds: "We have at last have a Great National Work; originated and completed among us- authors artists and artisans of which are our own citizens the Bible of Nature!"

In the course of these journeys most of the intervening country was prospected and the geology was noted'. He then undertook 'an exploration in the less known portions of the interior. Our course was from Mount Wells to Mount Douglas and thence south-eastward across the ranges to the Eveleen mine. From thence we traced the River Mary to its sources and then having crossed a small patch of tableland reached the upper waters of the Katherine which we followed down to the telegraph station; from thence we proceeded along the line to Pine Creek.

Importante também para o estudo do instituto dos morgadios em Portugal. O autor trata com grande pormenor de dois tipos de contratos: 1.º - O Censo que podia ter pelo menos duas formas - censo consignativo e censo reservativo. No primeiro uma das partes entrega à outra uma determinada quantia em dinheiro ficando a segunda obrigada a pagar-lhe uma renda. O segundo consiste na cedência do domínio de um bem a uma parte ficando esta na obrigação de pagar uma pensão anual pelos rendimentos do bem cedido. 2.º - A enfiteuse é um instituto jurídico oriundo do Direito Romano e consiste Segundo J. M. de Carvalho Santo a enfiteuse também dita de emprazamento e de aforamento designa o contrato pelo qual o proprietário de terreno alodial cede a outrem o direito de percepção de toda utilidade do mesmo terreno seja temporária ou perpetuamente com o encargo de lhe pagar uma pensão ou foro anual e a condição de conservar para si o domínio direto.

It is also important for studying the institute of morgadios Majorats in Portugal. The author deals in great detail with two types of contracts: 1st - The Census which could take at least two forms - consignative census and reservative census. In the former one of the parties gives the other a certain amount of money and the latter is obliged to pay rent. The second consists of one party transferring control of an asset to the other who is obliged to pay an annual pension for the income from the asset. 2nd. - The emphyteusis is a legal institute that originated in Roman Law and consists according to J. M. de Carvalho Santo of an emphyteusis also known as an emprazamento or aforamento which is the contract by which the owner of allodial land assigns to another the right to perceive all the usefulness of the same land either temporarily or in perpetuity with the burden of paying an annual pension or rent and the condition of retaining the direct domain for himself.

1870réf. 030898LONDON: George Bell & Sons 1870 A nice set of the second edition of Morris's History of British Birds. In 6 volumes with original decorative cloth bindings and 365 hand coloured plates as called for. The bindings are all clean with bright gilt pictures of birds to each front board and gilt titles and decoration to spine. There is some wear: volume I has some cloth splitting at the hinges and splitting at the rear endpaper with rubbing to corners; volumes II III and IV have very slight pulling to top and bottom of spine and a little rubbing at corners; volume V has very small splits at the top and bottom of the spine; and volume VI has a 1 inch tear at the top of the spine with no loss and scuffing at the corners. Internally all have the original endpapers; the first section including the frontispiece is becoming loose on volumes I II and III; volume IV is sound but the stitching is looser than on the others. There is a little spotting to some plates and text pages but in general the contents are very clean looking unread and the plates are bright and well coloured. A few plates in volume III lack tissue guards and the plate of the Whitethroat is present but detached. Volume 5 has 4 plates present but detached: the Little Stint Schinz's Sandpiper Pochard and Polish Swan - and pages 131-134 the same. A few pages have been roughly opened and a few have darkening to edges. Overall the set is complete with bright bindings and well coloured plates. George Bell & Sons hardcover

This long war which affected almost the entire Principality of Catalonia started with the discontentment of the Catalans by the presence of the Castilian troops in the region during the wars between France and Spain. The first edition published in Barcelona is regarded as Palau as muy estimada. The present copy is probably the second Catalan edition with the preliminaries of the Portuguese translation of the same year. It is unclear if the head margin at some point contained page numbers that were lost when the margin was cut short or that there were not any page numbers.
