1783ref. 20840London. 1783. England and France Agree on a Resolution to the American Revolution The first British publication of the terms of peace agreed upon between France and England after the American Revolution. The French had hoped to obtain more from England in the final peace settlement but De Grasse's catastrophic naval loss to Rodney in the Caribbean in 1782 weakened their position and the American commissioners forced their hand by coming to their own accord with the British on November 30 1782. By this treaty the British cede Newfoundland fishing rights return St. Lucia and Tobago to France and France gives back Nevis Grenada St. Kitts Montserrat and St. Vincent to the British as well as territorial exchanges in India. This treaty was vital to the final resolution of the American Revolution since the United States was pledged to move with France as an ally and was not in a position to settle without her. The final treaties of all the warring powers were signed on November 3 1783. Quarto. Antique half calf and marbled boards. Some minimal old ink underscoring else a near fine copy untrimmed.

ref. 15743Paris. 1783. Variant Form of the Anglo-Spanish 1783 Treaty A French printing of the treaty between Spain and England adopted as part of the general peace of September 3 1783. Through this treaty Spain reacquired the Floridas and the Mediterranean island of Minorca while Britain retained Gibraltar and acquired the Bahamas. This printing is unrecorded so far as we can discover. It seems to have been printed for the use of the French commissioners at the time of signing and is in folio form with docket printed on the side so that it could be folded and put in a file. It probably represents a printing during the later stages of the negotiation process. OCLC locates only one institutional holding at the Library and Archives of Canada. Rare. Tall folio designed to be folded with docket title sideways on last leaf. Later marbled boards leather label. Near fine. DAVENPORT 174. OCLC 1007694637.

1875ref. 40335N.p. but possibly Paris. ca.1875. A Rare Series of Plates of Maritime Life on the Senegal Coast A volume of engravings depicting the voyage of the ship Bellone and seafaring life. Following the "title" plate which is numbered 21 are scenes of Africa primarily in Senegal. These plates depict the natives villages and cities. After the scenes of Africa are plates depicting maritime life evidently on a French naval vessel in the Atlantic. These images are much more delicately engraved and are not numbered. The first few of these detail a "day in the life" of a sailor from morning muster and breakfast through scrubbing the deck and inspection and shore leave. Two plates of Uruguay and two unidentified landscapes are also inexplicably inserted in the midst of this sequence. An interesting and perhaps unique compilation of travel and maritime images. Forty engraved plates. Folio. Contemporary green half calf and marbled boards spine gilt. Spine faded. Lightly rubbed at extremities. Bookplate on front pastedown. First plate lightly age-toned. Some very minor scattered foxing else bright and clean internally. Very good. hardcover books

ref. 140949440Stroudsburg PA: Paris Flammonde nd. An outline of letter "A" in an alphabetical encyclopedia of UFOs by Paris Flammonde which was never published.

Near Fine. "Some entries are complete" Flammonde writes "or relatively so others are truncated or nominal." Most of the listings herein are indeed only a handful of sentences but the listings for George Adamski and Kenneth Arnold are the most substantive. The late author was a prolific writer on UFOs and the Kennedy assassination as well as a poet. A truly scarce ufological manuscript. Paris Flammonde unknown books
ref. 140949354No place: Scanuscryption 2007. First edition. First edition. Complete in four volumes.lxxvi 490; ii 491-1020; 1021-1428; 1429-1774 pp. Bound in publisher's yellow wraps. Very Good with a few minor scuffs and stains to edges. Small scratch to front wrap and peeling to laminate on bottom of back wrap of Vol. 1. Nice shape overall. A mammoth work on the 1963 assassination of President John F. Kennedy. The author was a longtime habitue of the JFK assassination scene in addition to circulating in the UFO and sci-fi subcultures who knew most of the major researchers on the case since November 22 1963. He pays tribute to them here summarizing their work and adding some details and personal reminiscences. The second book Masques of New Orleans is arguably the strongest with some interesting insights on the Big Easy figures D.A. Jim Garrison prosecuted such as David Ferrie and Clay Shaw. These books seem to have had hardly any distribution not surprising as they were self-published in the oughts and Flammonde was a proud Luddite in his late 70s and are quite uncommon in commerce.
