Pasted on the first front endpaper is a printed 'A Revelation and Prophecy By the Prophet Seer and Revelator Joseph Smith Given December 25th 1832.copied from the 'Pearl of Great Price' Published at Liverpool in 1851.' Very Good. Twenty-seven pamphlets many of them extremely scarce from the Reorganized Church founded in 1860 in Illinois. Its separation from the Latter Day Saints occurred in the schism of 1844 after the murder of Joseph Smith and the ensuing dispute over the succession. The pamphlets reflect the doctrines of the Reorganized Church and its version of its history. Certain pamphlets demonstrate rivalry with the Mormons e.g. Nos. 12 and 16 denouncing polygamy and Brighamism calling Brigham Young a profligate materialist and sensualist who is now "worth millions and has expended vast sums yearly in maintaining large numbers of wives and children." The pamphlet titles are: 2 Truth Made Manifest A Dialogue on the First Principles of the Oracles of God by Eliza; 3 The Voice of the Good Shepherd; 4 Epitome of the Faith and Doctrines of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints with Findings of Lake County Ohio Court in Kirtland Temple Suit printed on verso; 5 The Gospel; 6 The One Baptism: Its Mode Subjects Pre-requisites and Design.

rif. 66896Ephemera. Four pages of genealogy on two loose leaves 6 1/2 x 10 1/4" which appear to have come from a family Bible. The pages are divided into columns with the following headings: Births; Deaths; Marriages. One page lists the births of Joseph A. Young's parents Brigham Young and Mary Ann Angell. On the reverse the marriages of Joseph A. Young and his family members are listed. The second page lists the children of Joseph A. Young and Mary Ann Ayres in the "Births" column. The days of the week along with "G S L City" are listed next to their names and the dates of their births often with the exact time listed as well. On the verso of this page the "Deaths" of their children are listed Mary Thornton Young Elsie Vilate Josephine Young Alice Young and others. Joseph Angell Young 1834-1875 was Brigham Young's eldest son. He was born October 14 1834 in Kirtland Ohio. He came to Utah in an early day and actively participated in the affairs of the new settlement as a frontiersman. He also played an important role in emigration affairs and he is known for enduring bitter storms and biting frosts during one of the harshest winters in order to successfully rescue the belated hand-cart companies of that season. In addition he built and was the first superintendent of the Ogden-Salt Lake line the old Utah Central and was among the promoters of the Utah Southern. In 1872 Young was appointed to preside over the Sevier district of the Church spanning from Gunnison to Kanab. Two years later the settlements on the Sevier were organized as the Sevier Stake of Zion and Elder Young was appointed to preside over this Stake. He held this position until his death taking a significantly active part that tended to build up and strengthen the new settlements as well as introducing the United Order to the Saints on the Sevier. In Latter-day Saint Biographical Encyclopedia Volume I Andrew Jenson cites a passage published by Deseret News following Young's death: "Elder Young was esteemed for his many estimable qualities of heart as well as head. He was a man of naturally keen intelligence his mental qualities even reaching what might be termed brilliancy in some directions while his generosity was proverbial especially among the working classes all who were ever in his employ holding him in esteem for his universally kind and fair treatment." Andrew Jenson also points out that "On account of the persecutions of the 'Mormon' people he Joseph A. Young was deprived of the advantage of an early education but was a discriminating and passionate reader and at the time of his death had perhaps the finest private library in the Territory." Two leaves from a Family Record which contain the genealogy of an important family descending from Brigham Young and significant to the history of Utah and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. - Information obtained from "Latter-day Saint Biographical Encyclopedia Volume I" by Andrew Jenson. unknown

Blotz's pseudonym for Ferdinand Christian Touchy 1736–1808 Die Gartenkunst edited by Johann Ludwig Christ and published 1797–1804 is the second revised expanded and improved edition based on the original 1775 publication. It reflects the advances in horticultural knowledge and practice of the time. The text provides comprehensive guidance on the design establishment and maintenance of various types of gardens including ornamental Lustgärten kitchen Küchengärten arboretum Baumgärten and flower gardens Blumengärten. A notable feature of the text is its emphasis on the cultivation of exotic trees shrubs and plants suited to English gardens reflecting the growing popularity of the naturalistic English landscape style in Europe during the late 18th century.

rif. ST18545Southern Germany early 12th century. 240 x 310 mm. 9 1/2 x 12 1/4". Double column 16 intact lines in a large Romanesque script. Rubrics and two small initials in red one three-line initial in red and A STRIKING SIX-LINE 65 x 55 mm. ROMANESQUE INITIAL "U" DEPICTING CHRIST WITH A BOOK AND ST. PETER WITH THE KEYS TO HEAVEN the full-length figures and their garments drawn with simple black and red pen lines Christ's robes and halo touched with a thin wash of green against a light blue ground the initial drawn in red with light embellishment and washed with yellow. From the collection of Roger Martin 1939-2020. Recovered as a binding lining and thus with overall darkening creases small holes and other condition issues but the text entirely legible; a small curved tear and a little abrasion just touching the side of the initial coloring perhaps a bit faded but overall in excellent condition the figures intact and representing a remarkable and impressive survival. This is a large and attractive fragment preserving much of its original appeal with an exceptionally nice Romanesque initial featuring Christ handing the key of heaven to St. Peter. The two figures composed of red and black penstrokes and tinged with light washes of color are rendered with beautiful simplicity. The artist has cleverly placed St. Peter slightly outside the interior of the initial and Christ mostly within it with just one foot crossing over its base as though he is welcoming the Apostle into a sacred space. The composition is uncluttered and elegant inviting the viewer to enjoy the precision of the artist's pen. Romanesque initials with historiation are not nearly as common as purely decorative ones and the present subject matter--Christ handing the key to St. Peter--is rare among the examples containing human figures. In institutions we have been able to locate only two roughly contemporary examples depicting this particular scene see BL MS Egerton 809 fol. 41 and Walters MS W.754. Although we have no additional information about the parent manuscript it is clear that this fragment comes from a very substantial volume and was probably made for the use of a monastery. The date and attribution are made on the basis of the fragment's script and decoration. Sotheby's has suggested parallels to three manuscripts made at Echternacht see BnF Latin 9558 BnF Latin 8912 and BnF Latin 9740 but this fragment would benefit greatly from additional research. Even in its reused state it stands out as an unusually fine example of Romanesque art and narrative that would make an excellent addition to any private or institutional collection. unknown
