1944Best.-Nr. 28922AB1944. No.8 / 200 copies of the original limited edition. Dublin The Cuala Press 1944 September 1944. Octavo. 58 pages. Original Hardcover. Inscribed by George Yeats on the front free endpaper: "Mrs. Hempel from George Yeats April 1944". This has to be of course "April 1945". The impossibility of signing/inscribing a book in April 1944 if it was only published in September 1944 is easily explained with the classic everyday-mistake of still writing the previous year in the first few months of the following year. A stunning association. The signature and inscription is a solid match to George Yeats' autographs in her later hand and William Butler Yeats and George Yeats were frequent visitors to the Hempel's in Dublin. In addition the low number of the edition 8/200 suggests this being one of the reference copies given to George Yeats who contributed heavily to the volume and even added an explanatory note in print verso the titlepage. This copy is near fine bound in the publisher's quarter buckram over yellow paper-covered boards. The books pages remained unopened. Eva Hempel's husband Eduard Hempel is one of the most controversial figures in modern Irish history excoriated by some as 'Hitler's man' defended by others such as the country's first President Eamon De Valera. Certainly Hempel presented William Butler Yeats in 1938 with a copy of 'Germany Speaks' whose inscription described an 'unforgettable afternoon' spent together by Yeats and Hempel. Eduard Hempel and his wife were accepted socialites in the Dublin world of World War II famously receiving a condolence call by de Valera upon the death of Hitler. Eduard Hempel and his wife Eva were granted asylum in Ireland after world war II and stayed way beyond the end of World War II. Alan Wade 207 / Liam Miller 75 hardcover

1856Original publishers boards, 12mo, 132 pages. Singerman 1440. DE RENNE II, p.579. Milberg nr. 58. Uncommon work by this Jewish author who would go on to become a Confederate Officer during the Civil War. Levy (1827 - 1888) . Was also editor in chief of the Savannah Daily Advertiser, and in April 1868 Levy criticized in print the political views of a certain Dr. James Waring. Waring, apparently thin-skinned, demanded a duel. Levy obliged, but luckily friends were able to defuse the situation (Encyclopedia of Southern Jewish Communities, 2013) . Logan was a popular actress of the mid-19th Century, daughter to Cornelius Logan, a comic actor & playwriter who served as her manager until his death in 1853. While Logan was born in Philadelphia, she made her name in the antebellum South, with many lucrative engagements in cities such as Savannah, where she, no doubt, inspired Mr. Levy to write this work in her honor. Very Good Condition. (amr-45-23B) xx
1851Best.-Nr. BK0174Antwerpen: J. E. Rysheuvels 1851. 312 pp. 12mo. Original printed wrappers. Binding tight. Text in Dutch. Good plus with a chip to the front wrapper some edge wear tape repairs and light soiling. An uncommon collection of essays sketches and travel narratives by the Belgian journalist Lodewijk Vleeschouwer 1810-1866 including approximately 150 pages devoted to his experiences in the United States between 1828 and 1834. Vleeschouwer traveled through New York Philadelphia Charleston and Savannah eventually finding employment teaching languages and philology at the Chatham Academy and Savannah Lyceum in Georgia. He later returned to Belgium where he became a prominent journalist and satirist. The American section titled Brokken uit eene reize door de Vereenigde Staten van Noord-Amerika "Fragments from a Journey through the United States of North America" begins with a journey from New York to Philadelphia. Vleeschouwer describes a fierce competition between two steamboat companies which reduced fares to nothing and eventually offered passengers free meals before one company abandoned the route. He recounts a collision between competing vessels and gives observations on Philadelphia's streets public works boarding houses and social customs. Other chapters describe American Sunday observances Quaker meetings Methodist preaching and the treatment of Black servants including a confrontation involving a white guest and a Black servant over the biblical descendants of Cain and Abel. The later American chapters concern Vleeschouwer's residence in Savannah including an extended account of a dispute between two young men following a horse race. The quarrel begins when one man who is Jewish takes offense at the name "Shylock" leading to a challenge to a duel and subsequent legal proceedings. Vleeschouwer concludes with an account of his return voyage to Europe aboard the Olive-branch departing Savannah for Liverpool. The remainder of the volume consists of satirical sketches speeches literary criticism and essays including a discussion of phrenology. A relatively unusual Dutch-language account of American life during the Jacksonian period written by a European visitor who spent several years living and working in the United States. Howes V135. .
