1865Best.-Nr. 005102Philadelphia: Barclay & Co. 1864 1865 1865. FIRST EDITION. 1 vol. 9-1/4" x 5-3/4" original pictorial wrappers illustrated pagination irregular but complete original stitching completely unsophisticated without repairs internally clean and bright mild general handling but surely one of the nicest copies you're going to encounter VERY GOOD. McDade 623 According to RBH only 2 copies have ever appeared at auction. The last one in 2008. Variant issue mentioned by Howes with the illustration of the execution moved to p 96; also with misprint of copyright date as "1864". Featuring engraved portrait of Mary Surratt on cover. The assassination of Lincoln by John Wilkes Booth on the night of April 14 1865 need no retelling. Time however which has its own way with our judgments has raised some doubts about some of these. The unfairness of the military tribunal is now manifest and the guilt of Mrs. Surratt is certainly doubtful. This was amply demonstrated by the fact that only two years after the crime the government could not obtain the conviction of her son John Surratt in the civil courts in Washington.

1866Best.-Nr. 6114no place given: William E. Marshall 1866. Very good . Lithograph measuring about 17." x 22.5" full margins; likely untrimmed. The image measures about 15.75" x 20.5". Matted and framed and has not been examined out of frame. Offsetting/age-toning affects the right half of the print although this is only visible at the margin not within the image. Important 1866 engraving of the recently deceased 16th president; Marshall sent copies to many of Lincoln's closest friends and colleagues and the response was one of unanimous praise. Highly detailed and dignified it presents the statesman as a figure of great worth; even of immortailty. This example handsomely presented in a double matte and deep brown wooden frame. William E. Marshall unknown
1663Best.-Nr. 41874Nuremburg: Heirs of J. & W. Endter 1663. 8vo. 6 3/16 x 3 3/4 inches. xiv 998 xl pp. Title in red and black engraved frontispiece and 42 plates 7 folding. Early ownership signature on front pastedown. Early 18th-century lengthy manuscript commentary referencing passages on Brahmins from a work by Johann Albrecht von Mandelslo 1616-1644. Contemporary vellum First German Edition of one of the earliest European accounts of Hinduism in Southern India by a missionary who worked in Palicatta Coromandel for ten years from 1630 enlarged by supplementary accounts of Asian African and American religions not included in the Dutch and French editions. Abraham Roger was a Dutch missionary and linguist who spent a significant portion of his career working in India under the Dutch East India Company VOC. He was stationed in Pulicat a trading hub on the Coromandel Coast of South India where he worked among the Tamil speaking population. His experiences as a missionary coupled with his interest in local culture prompted him to document Hindu religious practices and beliefs culminating in this notable work. First published in Dutch in 1651 and translated into German in 1663 it is one of the earliest and most significant works by a European exploring Hinduism in South India. Roger's approach was distinct in its attempt to understand and accurately portray Hinduism a religion he sought to comprehend despite his missionary objectives. His work stands out for its translations of Hindu hymns and descriptions of temple rituals and he drew much of his knowledge from his close collaboration with local Brahmins reflecting a relatively objective tone compared to other European writings of the period. Despite his Eurocentric and missionary perspective Roger was unique in that he did not entirely dismiss Hinduism but rather engaged with it to create one of the earliest detailed European accounts of the religion.

Throughout the 1950s a group of artists ran a business that broke all the rules pushing animated films beyond the fluffy fantasy of the Walt Disney Studio and the crash-bang anarchy of Warner Bros.

When Magoo Flew is the first book-length study to chronicle the complete story of this unique American enterprise.

FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request - IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY - AVAILABLE IMMEDIATELY WHY WAIT -- 470 pages; clean and crisp tight and bright pages with no writing or markings to the text. -- DESCRIPTION: The Facts On File Dictionary of Clichés explains the meanings and origins of more than 3000 clichés and common expressions. Draws from a wide variety of sources including the Bible Shakespeare and other works of literature. Drawing from a wide variety of sources this book details the meaning of the cliché or expression its source early uses and the history of the phrase over time and its level of use in contemporary English is also noted. -- REVIEW: "This dictionary spans allusions of the past 1000 years including more than 1500 terms names and words used as metaphors to crystallize moments within the larger context of history culture and literature. Updating and expanding The Facts On File Dictionary of 20th-Century Allusions this work joins broader references like Dorothy Auchter's Dictionary of Historical Allusions and Eponyms LJ 8/98 and Elizabeth Webber and Mike Feinsilber's Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of Allusions 1999. Over 600 new entries from earlier time periods have been added although the selection appears random. There is an entry for Sinclair Lewis's Main Street but not William Faulkner's The Sound and the Fury or the "sound and fury" of Shakespeare's MacBeth; Batman Bernhard Goetz and Littleton CO are listed but not Waterloo Charles Manson or the Simpsons. Typically Merriam-Webster's includes each entry's pronunciation meaning and multiple examples of usage. Facts On File contains nearly twice as many entries but offers no pronunciation guide sometimes omits historical or cultural insights and seldom quotes usage examples. Whereas both dictionaries describe Ahab within the context of Moby Dick Facts On File omits mention of the historic and biblical context of King Ahab an archetype of evil from the Old Testament. Finally some entries appear too rudimentary to include such as "ABCs as easy as ABC." Nevertheless this new work is recommended as a sound reference tool holding many allusions not yet covered elsewhere. --Michelle Foyt Russell Lib.
