1790réf. 56704Boston: I. Thomas and E.T. Andrews 1790. William Safire's Copy Noted grammarian and pundit William Safire's copy of the first collection of Noah Webster's writings demonstrating the broad reach of the pioneering lexicographer's genius. Webster's essays touch a variety of topics from the new constitution to the practical reasons why marriage between cousins is discouraged. Of particular note is the presence of many words that are spelled phonetically such as "Guvernment" "Skools" and "Karacter." This editorial decision was in keeping with Webster's growing desire to simplify language and qualify it in American as opposed to British ways by dispensing with unnecessary vowels and misleading consonant pairings such as "ch" for "k". The language experiments played out here demonstrate an important step in Webster's development as lexicographer which would culminate in the publication of Webster's famous dictionary nearly forty years later in 1828. A charming Webster item with a notable linguistics-related provenance having been owned by William Safire the preeminent popular language and grammar expert of the 20th century. Safire was an author journalist and speechwriter who wrote the long-running column "On Language" for the NEW YORK TIMES. An attractive copy by the foundational American language expert owned by the most notable public expert on language in 20th-century America. xvi414pp. Modern half calf and marbled boards with early calf corners laid down on the outer corners spine gilt leather label. Leather bookplate of William Safire on front pastedown with a handful of marginal pencil notations in the text likely in his hand. Mild offsetting on titlepage minor toning. Overall very good.

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.

réf. 3730409Philadelphia: Likely published by William Duane 1800. 8vo. 8pp. Caption title. Self-wrappers as issued; once sewn. Near fine housed in a custom cloth clamshell box with gilt-lettered leather spine label. Webster’s Federalist Riposte to Hamilton’s Political Betrayal Pseudonymously authored by Noah Webster as “Aristides” this pamphlet delivers a searing rebuke of Alexander Hamilton for his public denouncement of President John Adams and his behind-the-scenes intrigues within the Federalist Party. Issued in response to Hamilton’s Letter. Concerning the Public Conduct and Character of John Adams Webster defends Adams—particularly his support for naval defenses—and accuses Hamilton of undermining constitutional authority for personal ambition. A key moment in the bitter internal collapse of the Federalists the pamphlet reflects Webster’s political alignment with Adams but also his alarm at Hamilton’s ambitions. “Think not sir” writes Webster “that all the monstrous schemes of daring ambitious men to overawe and controul sic the constitutional powers of our government are either hidden or approved by federal men.” Hamilton’s letter issued late in the 1800 campaign proved a catastrophic miscalculation accelerating the Federalist defeat and Adams’s loss to Jefferson. Though unsigned Webster’s authorship was swiftly exposed. In November of 1800 the New York Gazette mocked the pamphlet: “A more puerile catch penny production never blotted paper” declaring the author “appears from his work about as well qualified for the task as a Billingsgate oyster is to contemplate the principles of Newtonian philosophy.” Sabin 29960; see also 102361. Skeel-Carpenter 729. Not in Ford but see 61–62. Evans 39045 incorrectly suggesting New York as place of publication. ESTC W41582. Sheidley 44. Skeel records six variant printings all from 1800; only one bears an imprint and no priority has been established. Ours is the only printing Skeel attributes to Philadelphia which in 1800 was giving way to the District of Columbia as the nation’s capital. Skeel pointedly refuted Wilberforce Eames’s claim that it was published in New York. unknown
1820réf. 55522New York: Printed by G.L. Birch & Co. 1820. Essays by Mordecai Noah An interesting work on saving and thrift by a consequential American diplomat. Most of the essays blame poverty and bankruptcy on moral faults such as reckless spending and devotion to fashion. Among the examples of moral failings Noah offers are rowdy teens at a late-night oyster house and Wall Street wives bidding recklessly at a silverware auction. Mordecai Noah 1785-1851 was U.S. Consul in Tunis during the Barbary Wars and as such was responsible for freeing American seamen. Noah was notable as one of the first Jewish Americans to hold an important diplomatic post and was ultimately removed from office for anti-Semitic reasons.

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."

And who wouldn't want to believe in that world or at least take pleasure in the ability to recognize parts of it in our own One of the most charming and beloved of the surrealists René Magritte took a light witty paintbrush and created a world both familiar and not--but always recognizable in our dreams. His plays on semiotics identity the idea of woman the possibilities inherent in objects and the idea that everything was not necessarily what it seemed--or what it was supposed to be--are celebrated here in an intelligent retrospective monograph featuring more than 150 paintings sculptures objects and works on paper. The organization of this catalogue paints Magritte as an innovator and an artist who has had significant influence on contemporary creators. Accompanying essays including an introduction by Alain Robbe-Grillet inventor of the nouveau roman consider Magritte's influence on modern and contemporary art. Magritte's relationships with his surrealist contemporaries Louis Scutenaire and André Breton and the art dealers Edward James and Alexandre Iolas are each revealed through individual art historical texts and a selection of unpublished letters. An illustrated chronology is included as well. This catalogue is published in conjunction with an exhibition at the Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume in Paris. My painting is visible images which conceal nothing; they evoke mystery and indeed when one sees one of my pictures one asks oneself this simple question "What does that mean" It does not mean anything because mystery means nothing either it is unknowable. --René Magritte Essays by Jean Roudaut Patrick Roegiers Daniel Abadie Jean-Michel Goutier Bernard Noël Sarah Whitefeld and Renilde Hammacher.

"It is to be regretted that space will not serve to represent the caricaturists and depictors of manners who followed in the wake of Daumier and Gavarni. Among the most attractive of the former is Amédée de Noé known as Cham that is Ham the son of Noah of whom it was said that he had 'an idea a day' for Le charivari. A good proportion of his thousands of lithographs were gathered into albums. His contributions to the Album du siège in which Daumier was his collaborator are typical of his work" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book pp. 155-156. Bobins IV 1348.
