réf. 06549London: Macmillan and Co. Limited 1897. The Grand Banks - Where Boys Become Men" A Classic of the Sea KIPLING Rudyard. 'Captains Courageous' A Story of the Grand Banks. With illustrations by I. W. Taber. London: Macmillan and Co. Limited 1897. First edition. Small octavo 7 1/4 x 4 3/4 inches; 184 x 121 mm. viii 245 1 blank 2 advertisements pp. With twenty-two full-page illustrations by I. W. Taber. Publisher's blue cloth front cover and spine pictorially decorated in gilt dark gray coated endpapers all edges gilt. Minimal rubbing to extremities small bookseller's description neatly affixed to front paste-down. A touch of very light foxing otherwise a near fine copy the notoriously fragile endpapers remarkably fresh and intact. One of Kipling's most enduring and widely read novels Captains Courageous stands apart within his canon as a pure sea story drawn from his own experiences aboard fishing vessels off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland. First published in 1897 it tells the story of Harvey Cheyne a spoiled American boy transformed by hardship discipline and camaraderie after being swept overboard and rescued by a Gloucester fishing schooner. The novel's vivid depiction of life at sea - its dangers routines and moral code - owes much to Kipling's gift for observation and his admiration for working seamen. The result is a narrative at once adventurous and deeply humane often compared to the great maritime traditions of Dana and Melville but with a distinctly Kiplingesque emphasis on character and duty. Isaiah West Taber 1830-1912 is a slightly deceptive figure in this context - he was not primarily a book illustrator but one of the leading American photographers of the late 19th century based in San Francisco. That explains why the plates in Captains Courageous feel unusually "real": they are derived from photographic studies not traditional drawn illustration. The publisher's pictorial gilt cloth binding with its bold maritime design is particularly attractive and increasingly difficult to find in such well-preserved condition especially with the delicate coated endpapers intact and the gilt still bright. A handsome and increasingly scarce first edition of one of the great literary evocations of the sea. London: Macmillan and Co., Limited, 1897 unknown

1885réf. 58913San Francisco: Taber Photo. ca. 1885. San Francisco Chinatown Before the Earthquake and Fire Two photographs of elegant Chinese restaurants in pre-earthquake San Francisco Chinatown likely taken in the mid-1880s. The first photograph depicts the Woey Sin Low restaurant's third-floor balcony looking past hanging glass lanterns and an ornately carved wooden window onto the corner of Dupont and Clay Streets. In front of the restaurant a hanging banner reads "BÄobàn jiǔxí" advertising that the establishment can host and arrange banquets. The second photograph has been identified as the grand dining room at another restaurant just around the corner on Washington Street called Bun Sun Low. After a fire in 1885 Bun Sun Low's dining room was renovated into the dramatic space pictured here with hanging chandeliers and lanterns and intricate carvings adorning the doors windows walls and even ceiling. Despite the caption some uncertainty exists as to the identification of this second photograph – a different image of what is clearly the same room is held at the New York Public Library which states that the restaurant in the image was located on Dupont Street rather than Washington suggesting it may in fact be a lower floor dining room of the Woey Sin Low restaurant depicted in the previous photo. Both restaurants were long-running fixtures of Chinatown in operation from the 1870s and present in Langley's directories from the 1880s. As neither establishment survived the earthquake and subsequent fires of 1906 it may not be possible to definitively identify the restaurant shown in the interior view. Both images were published by the prolific photography company of Isaiah West Taber which is the source of many wonderful if often dubiously attributed pre-earthquake images of San Francisco. The catastrophe that leveled these beautiful restaurants was equally disastrous for Taber – his entire considerable stock of photo negatives was destroyed in the same event. An interior and exterior glimpse at some of the finest Chinese dining San Francisco had to offer in the Gilded Age as well as evidence of the interest in the activities and aesthetics of Chinatown held by many Americans. Images a bit faded. Mounts lightly soiled and wavy. Upper left corner of mount of second image with a small chip. Overall very good. unknown

Later sticker at top corner of front cover not infringing upon text. The Treaty of Paris ended the French and Indian War on 10 February 1763. By April news was just reaching the English colonies. This sermon was delivered from Daniel 2:20-21 and reads in part "we no longer hear ye alarm of war but hope for ye establishment of peace on very advantageous terms to us who dwell in this land. Let us consider yt it is God who hath given us this quietness." It is not signed but Dunster's name is penciled on the wrapper and the handwriting matches Dunster manuscripts held at Harvard University. A notation on the front cover shows that he delivered this sermon again in 1773 and 1786. Isaiah Dunster 1720-1791 was a Congregational minister at Harwich on Cape Cod from 1748 until his death in 1791. His headstone in Brewster Cemetery says of him that he was "The most beloved Pastor of the First Church in Harwich. He graduated at the University in Cambridge. In native Town was ordained Nov'r 18 1748. After a judicious pertinent and faithful discharge of related ministerial duties satisfied with Life and confident of Immortality He died Jan 18 1791 in the 71 year of his age and 43 of his Ministry."

1987réf. 222098Oxford 1987. unbound. 3 pages front and back on "Headington House" stationery 8.25 x 5.75 inches Oxford April 28 1987. Written to noted Civil Rights attorney Howard N. Meyer responding to an article that Meyer had written about Wilson and "Patriotic Gore" in small part: ".There was an element of permanent as it were un-critical radicalism in Wilson - hatred of establishments suspicion of the motives of all public men natural reaction to slogans and clarion calls and eloquence in political or national causes within the framework of the establishments of what he regarded as hopelessly bourgeois countries - he thought that all wars certainly since Napoleon were monstrous bloodshed of a horrible kind in the interests of groups disguised as ideals - all that he got from Marx and similar writers - this applied to both World Wars and obviously to the Civil War and rather more plausibly to Vietnam. He obviously did not mind sheer killing as such because that does not emerge in for example 'To the Finland Station' - it was only towards the end of his life partly under the influence of Solzhenitsyn and other irrefutable evidence that he turned against the Soviet Union and became nauseated by Stalin and everything to do with him - and his distaste even turned to the once-hallowed Lenin. I had a conversation with him in which he reminded me that I had said that he was too nice about Lenin - he agreed and the Introduction to the second or a later edition of 'To the Finland Station' altered this approach.I realize and from my knowledge of Edmund whose memory I still revere and of whom I am deeply fond. His loss of faith in Russia which began after his visit in the thirties but still persisted when I first met him was I suppose true of an entire generation of American leftists and British ones too; It was a marvelous mass delusion which I think perhaps has no parallel in history. Of course he must have been right in part about the crushing of the Southern states the exploitation and the bullying.but this should not have extended to respect for his violent and irrational political prejudices ferocious suspicion and desire to discredit honorable human motives just wars general idealism above all Lincoln's reputation. He simply wanted to attack icons and fetishes as such - and in the course of this said a great many untrue unjust and silly things." This letter contains much more fine content and is effectively an unpublished essay and critique of one of the most distinguished writers of the 20th century. Horizontal folds tiny stains and a paperclip impression in the top margins. Still very good condition. Russian-British philosopher and historian of ideas regarded as one of the leading thinkers of the twentieth century and as the dominant liberal scholar of his generation. unknown books

Book Description: "Isaiah Berlin was deeply admired during his life but his full contribution was perhaps underestimated because of his preference for the long essay form. The efforts of Henry Hardy to edit Berlin's work and reintroduce it to a broad eager readership have gone far to remedy this. Now Princeton is pleased to return to print under one cover Berlin's essays on Vico Hamann and Herder. These essays on three relatively uncelebrated thinkers are not marginal ruminations but rather among Berlin's most important studies in the history of ideas. They are integral to his central project: the critical recovery of the ideas of the Counter-Enlightenment and the explanation of its appeal and consequences--both positive and often tragic.
