1823réf. 56705New Haven: S. Converse Printer Sold by Howe & Spalding 1823. The Emily Skeel-William Safire Copy of Webster's LETTERS TO A YOUNG GENTLEMAN The Skeel-Safire copy of the first edition of this unusual Webster publication. In a series of nine letters to an unknown and likely universal correspondent Webster discusses the usual array of issues surrounding grammar and parts of speech as well as virtue and other moral ideals and also comments on the English language dictionaries of his day such as those compiled by Johnson Sheridan and Kenrick. Following the letters is a "Summary History of the discovery and settlement of America from the time of English settlement through the American Revolution" "adapted to the use of families and schools.a convenient Manuel sic for travellers and seamen." In subsequent years Webster's American history would be expanded and reissued but this is its first appearance. A esoteric Webster item with notable etymology-related provenance having been owned by both Emily Ellsworth Ford Skeel Webster's granddaughter and bibliographer and William Safire the preeminent popular American language and grammar expert of the late 20th century. Skeel compiled A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE WRITINGS OF NOAH WEBSTER and published the work in 1958; books from her library are scarce. Safire was an author journalist and speechwriter who wrote the long-running column "On Language" for the New York Times. An interesting work by the foundational American language expert owned by his granddaughter who was also one of his bibliographers and then the most notable public expert on language in late 20th-century America. 335pp. Contemporary calf expertly rebacked in matching style spine ruled in gilt gilt morocco label. Leather bookplate of noted grammarian William Safire and the Green Knoll bookplate of Roswell and Emily E.F. Skeel on front pastedown. Contemporary ink ownership inscription on titlepage.

PRINTING AND THE MIND OF MAN 291: "Webster was an ardent nationalist and he wanted to stress the political separation from Britain by the cultivation of a separate American language. Under the influence of his friend Benjamin Franklin he turned his attention to 'a reformed mode of spelling' and although he rejected the radical phonetic innovations proposed by Franklin he went far enough to give many printed American words a distinctive appearance."

1826réf. 664Paris: S.n. 1826. First edition. Published unbound. Untrimmed. In fine condition. First edition. Published unbound. 11 5 p. Comte de Noé’s 1777–1858 speech concerning the “Haiti Indemnity” at the Chamber of Peers on April 19 1826. After the successful slave rebellion of Saint-Domingue which culminated in the elimination of slavery and the founding of the Republic of Haiti it took more than twenty years until the French ruler King Charles X of France recognised the independence of the island in return of 150 million gold franc indemnity in April 1825. The sum was later reduced to 90 million in 1838. The issue of the indemnity appeared again in 2003 when the President of Haiti demanded France to pay back over 21 billion U.S. dollars the equivalent in today’s money of the 90 million gold francs however in 2004 the prime minister rescinded the reparations demand.

1650Acquaforte mm. 203x400. Si tratta di uno dei soggetti preferiti da Castiglione, l'entrata degli animali nell'Arca, la tecnica acquafortista raggiunge qui il massimo della raffinatezza. In questa composizione sviluppa il tema accennato nell'incisione : "Noè che fa entrare gli animali nell'Arca" (1630 ca.). Il tema biblico è accennato nella parte sinistra del rame in primo piano gli animali. Le opere attribuibili al primo periodo di attività genovese (L'entrata degli animali nell'arca, Genova, Accademia Ligustica; Noè fa entrare gli animali nell'arca, Firenze, Gall. degli Uffizi, inv. 1336; per le molte versioni, vedi Meloni) mostrano il C. attento soprattutto alla tradizione di pittura animalistica - rappresentata a Genova da parecchie opere dei Bassano e dall'attivo gruppo fiammingo facente capo ai fratelli de Wael e a Jan Roos - ed estremamente vicino, nell'impianto delle scene e nel taglio compositivo, alla pittura dello Scorza (di quest'ultimo vedere soprattutto Noè che accoglie gli animali nell'arca, firmato e datato 1630, Genova, Gall. di palazzo Spinola). Bell'esemplare con margini sottili e piccolo timbro di collezione visibile in basso a destra.. Bartsch vol. 46 n. 1..

Octavo contemporary marbled boards rebacked in period style speckled calf-gilt red morocco spine label uncut. $3400.First edition of this fascinating travelogue by Mordecai Manuel Noah the most prominent Jew in America at the timeÑU.S. Consul to Tunis the first American Jew to receive an overseas diplomatic assignmentÑillustrated with engraved frontispiece portrait and four engraved plates one folding. An excellent uncut copy in contemporary marbled boards.One of the early American republic's most influential Jews Mordecai Noah 1785-1851 was a journalist editor of New York newspaper The National Advocate publisher of the New York Enquirer and a community activist. He held the position of United States Consul to Tunis in 1816 was the sheriff of New York in 1821 the Surveyor of the Port from 1829-33 and a judge of the Court of General Sessions in 1841. He is perhaps most remembered as the originator of the ambitious though never-realized Ararat Project on Grand Island near Niagara Falls in 1825Ña proposed utopian city of refuge for persecuted European Jews. ""In 1813 Noah became U.S. Consul to Tunis. The government hoped that he would be able to forge special ties with influential Jews in North Africa and entrusted him with an additional secret mission: to devise a 'means for the liberation' of 11 captive American seamen in Algiers. Noah's efforts to free American captives were mostly unsuccessful. Only two seamen were released the ransom paid was excessive and the secret agent Noah appointed Richard R. Keene turned out to have an unsavory past. Although Noah carried out his other consular duties successfully and also established ties with local Tunis Jews Secretary of State James Monroe recalled him in 1815É In the wake of the recall Noah published Correspondence and Documents 1816 in his own defense followed by Travels in England France Spain and the Barbary States 1819 his most important book. It describes his experiences abroad and contains valuable information on early 19th-century Tunisian Jewry"" ANB. The appendix includes letters from Thomas Jefferson John Adams James Madison and John Quincy Adams addressed to Noah. Rosenbach American Jewish Bibliography 205. Frontispiece and one plate ""Merchant Slave & Arab"" with expertly repaired margins not affecting image or text. Light foxing to text.
