Philipon et autres Rédacteurs du Charivari et de la Caricature: Dessins Comiques par MM. Bouchot Cham de N. Daumier Gavarni Grandville et autrés artistes du Musée Philipon. Paris: Chez Aubert Éditeur. 1844. Folio 13 x 9 7/8 inches; 329 x 250 mm. iv 160 pp. Twenty magnificent hand colored lithographs all heightened with gum arabic. The plates are by Honoré Daumier 10; Cham 8; Beaumont 1 & Quillenbois 1. Contemporary ca. 1844 quarter dark green morocco over green paper boards front cover with gilt emblem. Spine with five raised bands tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments marbled endpapers. An excellent example with ten of the wonderful hand colored lithographs by Honoré Daumier. "The house of Aubert was ingenious in marketing its products. Its lithographs.were published one by one in periodicals like Le charivari and together in suites by the same artist without letterpress. Still a third form of publication was in albums made up of lithographs by several artists with accompanying texts. These collections most commonly took the form of volumes with the generic title Paris Comique which consisted of twenty colored lithographs accompanied by quite unrelated texts. Aubert remarked that the resulting hodgepodge had 'a plan that is easy to follow for it consists in not having any' and in fact this was indeed a frugal procedure for reusing old texts and already published plates. The interest of the various volumes of Paris comique resides entirely in the lithographs they happen to contain. It can be considerable however since Daumier and Gavarni are the predominant artists" Ray The Art of the French Illustrated Book 164. The Plates: 1. DAUMIER. La Tragédie.

Vile Professor and Chair Political Science Department Middle Tennessee State University Murfreesboro TN. ISBN 9781584778561. Hardcover. New. $39.95 Remembered today as a lexicographer Webster 1758-1843 was equally active as a political writer. As is the case with his dictionary and grammar textbooks his political essays are strongly patriotic and embody a confidence that the United States would soon become a great nation. He composed Sketches of American Policy at a time when the nationally minded segments of the political class were beginning to pursue plans to create a strong federal government to replace the Confederation Congress. Seeing this as a necessary step to ensure the nation's progress Webster endorsed this cause and wrote this pamphlet to promote it. During his tours throughout the states he presented to several people who would become delegates to the Constitutional Convention including George Washington James Madison and Benjamin Franklin. It circulated widely among the delegates and was an important influence in their debates. Interesting for this reason it is also valuable as a contemporary critique of the Articles of Confederation by a gifted scholar who associated with the leading statesmen of the day. unknown books
