Cf. pl. n°2 (pl. 250 du numéro 121) et pl. n°3 (pl. 251 du numéro 121). Le titre est une citation latine extraite de la Genèse, vers 19, signifiant : « Souviens-toi, homme, que tu es poussière, et que tu redeviendras poussière ». A gche se trouvent trois personnages, figures du peuple, dans l’encadrement d’une porte, juchés au sommet de deux marches : un homme (ayant participé à la révolution de Juillet) tient en l’air un pavé portant les dates des Trois Glorieuses « 27. 28 // 29 » (juillet) qu’il s’apprête à jeter sur le groupe de personnages en face de lui. Il est accompagné de deux enfants (« ces enfans [enfants] sont les gamins héroïques qui firent les barricades », in explication) : l’un, coiffé d’un bonnet phrygien décoré de la cocarde tricolore, porte un sac contenant des pavés, tandis que l’autre tient un plat sur lequel se trouvent deux autres pavés. Le groupe de personnages s’avançant se compose des membres du gouvernement. De gche à dte: Louis-Philippe, déguisé en Paillasse (les boutons du costume sont en forme de poire). Il a posé par terre sson chapeau décoré de la cocarde tricolore. A genoux, il joint ses mains pour supplier les hommes du peuple de l’épargner. Puis Dupin, déguisé en sauvage et tenant un gourdin portant l’inscription « PLAISANTERIE ». Ensuite, le conquérant de la Hollande (le duc d’Orléans). Puis vient Lobau, portant une perruque d’ancien régime, un grand tablier blanc et tenant de sa main dte un seringue à clystère. Soult vêtu à la mode de Louis XIII, fait reposer son genou droit sur une béquille. Enfin, Thiers, portant un vêtement de petit diable blanc (il porte un bonnet blanc pourvu de cornes, et une queue dépasse de son pantalon). La pl. met en garde le gouvernement de ne pas trahir les idéaux républicains qui ont présidé à la naissance de la monarchie de juillet. Elle rappelle le rôle fondamental du peuple dans l’instauration du régime. Elle entend rappeler au roi et aux ministres que c’est grâce au peuple que la monarchie de juillet a pu voir le jour, et menace de faire basculer le régime en place si les idées républicaines sont bafouées. L’explication est très claire : « Souvenez-vous que c’est moi, moi peuple, qui vous ai faits tous, et que je puis vous défaire demain si vous êtes parjures, si vous êtes prévaricateurs, si vous êtes prodigues de mon sang et de ma sueur, si vous gaspillez mon bien, si vous enchaînez ma liberté ».

1909ref. BIBLIO-29696The Leather Trades Publishing Company Ltd. London second edition revised and enlarged 1909. Cloth gilt cover-title edges sprinkled 8vo 25 cm. xx 498 28 pp 26 pp advertisements at end some 179 leather samplesin a wide variety of colours and finishes. An impressive sample-book with some 179 mounted leather samples. From the introduction: "Six Chapters are now added to the work. The Chapter on "Dyestuff Comparisons ; and the Testing of Dyestuffs" will be found of particular service by those who are unable to go through a course of technical study and by leather dyers in general. The whole of the matter of the book has been revised." A contemporary review of the first edition had commented: " Its scope is as comprehensive as the title implies and the author most painstakingly describes and explains in detail the machinery methods and meaning of the numerous processes involved in leather dressing yet in such a manner that it should commend itself equally to the skilled workman manufacturer or investigator. After a general introduction and account of the preliminary processes for the preparation of the leather such as splitting and shaving scouring and bleaching the author passes to the section on dyeing. The coal-tar dyes are discussed in detail and special attention is given to the most economical methods of furnishing the dye bath.An elementary account of the theory of light and complementary colours leads up to an excellent description of the matching of shades.The book provides a full account of the various processes of 'finishing' with fat liquors &c. and closes with chapters on mechanical finishing such as printing and graining. An interesting section is provided by a chapter on novelties and fancy articles such as 'marbles' and 'bronzes.' The treatise is well printed and illustrated and is provided with numerous excellent samples of leather illustrating the effects obtainable with the various dyes described. One or two pencil notes endpapers cracked at hinges and joints somewhat pulledsome offsetting of the leather specimens sometimes penetrating the tissue guards and offsetting the facing page otherwise Good.

Edited second edition with 148pp. rather than 203pp. of the first edition Roff pp. 79-83 for the first edition. Printed by R. and A. Taylor Shoe Lane. This work is designed as a supplement to the Adventures of Telemachus. It treats of the conduct and suffering of Ulysses the father of Telemachus. The picture which it exhibits is that of a brave man struggling with adversity. The agents in this tale besides men and women are giants enchanters sirens. By avoiding the prolixity which marks the speeches and the descriptions in Homer I have gained a rapidity to the narration which I hope will make it more attractive and give it more the air of a romance to young readers."
