1868ref. 16626in-8, 2 pp., de Tréguier, 21 septembre 1868, adressée au Principal du collège où il a fait ses études avant de rentrer au séminaire ; "Je ne puis quitter Tréguier, où je suis venu raviver de vieux souvenirs, sans vous dire pourquoi je me suis abstenu d’aller rendre mes devoirs à un établissement auquel se rattachent les meilleurs de ces souvenirs. Je sais la délicatesse et la profondeur des convictions religieuses. Comme tous les sentiments exquis, cette délicatesse entraine parfois quelques susceptibilité. J’ai craint que ce qui n’est à mes yeux qu’un dissentiment n’empêchant en aucune manière la sympathie ne fut pour d’anciens amis un motif de me revoir sans joie. Voilà uniquement ce qui m’a fait me priver d’un des plaisirs les plus vifs que j’aurais eus, du plaisir de visiter une maison à laquelle je dois de précieuses leçons d’honnêteté et de sérieux, où j’eusse trouvé vivante la mémoire de maîtres vénérés et où j’eusse rencontré d’anciens condisciples auxquels n’a pas cessé de m’unir la plus vive amitié. Agréez, Monsieur le Principal, l’expression des sentiments infiniment distingués avec lesquels j’ai l’honneur d’être Votre tout dévoué serviteur. Ernest Renan".

1896ref. 56203London / New York: Ernest Nister / E.P. Durron & Co 1896. Very good. First edition of this toy theater-like pop-up book in which 3D scenes of the land of the Fae are illustrated within pop-up chromolithographic frames. Children's book publisher Nister made a specialty of movable and toy books like this one a famous example in its series of "stand-up" books. These used paper and linen mechanisms to pull pictorial elements upright creating a 3D scene that we now recognize as a pop-up - though they were not yet called that. As bibliographer Eric Quayle notes "Later versions with the same basic ideas . were called 'pop-up' books" 225. A terrific survival the mechanisms still capable of eliciting wonder with the turning of a leaf. 10.5'' x 13.75''. Original color pictorial paper boards with green cloth spine. Floral-patterned endpapers. Illustrated by Hardy with 6 full-page pop-ups plus black-and-white in-text vignettes. 28 pages. 1897 gift inscription effaced from verso of front free endpaper. Notable wear and rubbing to boards binding a bit shaken with rear joint starting still intact. Pop-ups rehinged with some gutter reinforcements. Bright. Ernest Nister / E.P. Durron & Co unknown

1875"National bank notes retired - legal tenders the only paper money - prosperity for every industry." - subtitle. "This little work makes no pretensions to literary merit. It was written, by the author, at intervals snatched from his other occupations as a farmer... The leading facts stated, and the great and fundamental truths of the science of money enunciated, are in accordance with the true principles of Political Economy when applied to the present conditions of America, and are believed to be sound and incontrovertible." - from Preface. Contains the following five essays: As long as America is so heavily indebted to European Nations it will be impossible to have a good and uniform currency upon a gold basis; Specie-based currency with the shackles of gold redemption and the national bank system are anti-republican and dangerous to human liberty; A second system of paper money freed from the shackles of specie redemption and based upon the faith of the nation; How contraction and gold redemption will affect the debtors and tax-payers; Industry and productions stimulated by a greater volume of currency. Usual library markings. Spine Slant. Above-average wear. Binding intact. Gilt lettering mostly worn from backstrip but clearly legible upon blue front board. Upper portions of almost all pages lightly stained yellow - all text remains clearly legible. Book
