Overall a very good copy. Abû-Muhammad Muslih al-Dîn bin Abdallâh Shîrâzî, (1193-1292), better known by his pen name Saadi (or, Sadi, Sa'di), was a major Persian poet and prose writer of the medieval period. He is recognized for the quality of his writings and for the depth of his social and moral thoughts. Saadi is widely recognized as one of the greatest poets of the classical literary tradition, earning him the nickname "The Master of Speech" or "The Wordsmith" (Ostâd-e soxan) or simply "Master" [Ostad] among Persian scholars. He has been quoted in the Western traditions as well. Bustan has been ranked as one of the 100 greatest books of all time by The Guardian. Bustan [i.e. The Orchard] completed in 1257and it's entirely in verse (epic meter). It consists of stories aptly illustrating the standard virtues recommended to Muslims (justice, liberality, modesty, contentment) and reflections on the behavior of dervishes and their ecstatic practices. Gulistan is mainly in prose and contains stories and personal anecdotes. The text is interspersed with a variety of short poems that contain aphorisms, advice, and humorous reflections, demonstrating Saadi's profound awareness of the absurdity of human existence. The fate of those who depend on the changeable moods of kings is contrasted with the freedom of the dervishes. Saadi is also remembered as a panegyrist and lyricist, the author of a number of odes portraying human experience, and also of particular odes such as the lament on the fall of Baghdad after the Mongol invasion in 1258. His lyrics are found in Ghazaliyat [i.e. Lyrics] and his odes in Qasa'id [i.e. Odes]. He is also known for a number of works in Arabic. George Michael Wickens, (1918-2006), the translator of this edition, was a distinguished Canadian-British Persianist as well as Arabist, translator, and a University lecturer. Wickens was fluent in Persian and Arabic and was one of the pioneering figures of Persian literature in Canada. He translated several masterpieces of Persian literature as Boostan of Sa'di into English. (Source: Wikipedia).

1847rif. 38813Brixton Hill: For private circulation only printed by C. and J. Adlard 1847. FIRST EDITION OF THE ALLITERATIVE MORTE ARTHURE one of the great monuments of Arthurian literature and of Medieval English literature. This poem like Gawain and the Green Knight is part of the late Medieval literary movement now called the "alliterative revival". According to Larry Benson the most recent editor of this poem the Alliterative Morte Arthure "lacks the delicacy and balance of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight but the vigor of its narrative the epic sweep of its action and its coolly realistic presentation of fourteenth-century warfare lend the poem an interest of its own." EDITION LIMITED TO JUST 75 COPIES each numbered and signed by the printer of which THIS IS ONE OF ONLY 50 COPIES PRINTED ON THIN PAPER. Beautifully printed in large attractive type on fine wove paper with large margins. Frontispiece engraving by F. W. Fairholt after a manuscript miniature depicting the Round Table. Large 4to. Bound in original cloth beautifully decorated in blind. Uncut. Professionally recased with original endpapers preserved. Frontispiece discolored as always because of paper used and a bit stained. Otherwise FINE AND BRIGHT. A legendary rarity in its original binding. Extremely rare and important. sxxi For private circulation only (printed by C. and J. Adlard) hardcover
1849rif. 136692London: John Russell Smith 1849. First edition of this important little work; scarce in commerce. James Orchard Halliwell later Halliwell-Philipps 1820-1889 antiquary and literary scholar co-founder of both the Percy and Shakespeare Societies is one of the most significant figures in the codification of English nursery rhymes. Popular Rhymes was a sequel to his groundbreaking Nursery Rhymes of England 1842 both of which "would remain standard works on the subject for half a century" Gregory p. 116. Most familiar to modern readers are Halliwell's versions of Tom Thumb and Chicken Licken and his important transcription from chapbook sources of Jack the Giant-Killer see Thomas Green Arthuriana: Early Arthurian Tradition and the Origins of Legend The Lindes Press 2009 p. 148; these are gathered together in the chapter entitled "Fireside Stories". "Much more than a collection the Popular Rhymes offered historical and comparative analysis of its verses and tales. It amplified the scope of the earlier rhyme-book with a section of nineteen folktales obtained both from oral sources and from chapbooks. The chapter rubrics were now much tighter and more definitive: Nursery Antiquities Fireside Nursery Stories Game-Rhymes Alphabet-Rhymes Riddle-Rhymes Nature-Songs Proverb-Rhymes Places and Families Superstition Rhymes Custom-Rhymes and Nursery-Songs. Halliwell conceded his debt to Robert Chalmers's 'elegant work' The Popular Rhymes of Scotland 1826 but also stressed the differences in content. Together the two 'vernacular anthologies' contained nearly all that was worth preserving of 'the natural literature of Great Britain'" Dorson p. 68. Provenance: pencilled ownership inscription to advertisement facing title "H. C. Hart / 89" possibly Henry Chichester Hart 18476-1908 Anglo-Irish botanist and explorer who like Halliwell was also a Shakespearean scholar editing a number of volumes in the Arden edition.

Although Kurt Schwitters was one of the most influential artists of international modernism only select portions of his immensely varied body of pictorial work have been investigated thoroughly. And what a body of work it is unlike one ever seen before or after combining bits of found detritus into compositions of tight unexpected melodies and startling tunes. Schwitters was constantly sighting scraps of handbills train tickets newspapers clothing and more on the city streets pocketing them for later use in one of his Merz collages. His intense body of found object constructions stands as one of the premier examples of the ultimtate modern form assemblage of which he has been called the "grandfather." After extensive research worldwide and a complete examination of his artistic estate Schwitters's oeuvre has finally been properly acknowledged documented and prepared for public presentation. The comprehensive Kurt Schwitters Catalogue Raisonna of which the present volume is the third installation includes more than four thousand works from the period between 1905 and 1948 many of them published for the first time. Lost and destroyed works are documented whenever possible. For ease of reference the survey is ordered chronologically; within each year works are sub-divided according to genre. In this third volume are presented creations spanning Schwitters's years in exile 1937 to 1948 when he escaped Nazi Germany to live first in Norway and then in England.

1796rif. 373398New York 1796. Broadside text in English and French in two columns. 12-1/4x8 inches. Silked and inlaid to a larger sheet very toned extraneous fold at the bottom area of loss at the top largely affecting the title in French. Broadside text in English and French in two columns. 12-1/4x8 inches. A broadside prospectus for a noted allegorical print celebrating the American Revolution. We locate only two known examples of this broadside John Carter Brown Library and Winterthur Museum. The print first published in 1796 and then again with the addition of extensive descriptive text in 1798 used classical iconography to illustrate America's victory in the American Revolution with the gods led by Minerva with the American eagle on her aegis paying honor to American heroes and laying waste to the concepts and persons of monarchy. As a French veteran of the American Revolution and transatlantic witness to the French Revolution it is perhaps unsurprising that the artist Renault would choose such subject matter for this dramatic piece. Reilly describes the print and its features in detail: An allegory of liberty flourishing and monarchy and tyranny in decline. In a wooded grove Minerva with a shield bearing the arms of the United States and a flag emblazoned with stars pours libations on an altar fire. Beside her are three female figures. The first Plenty holds a torch to a pile of titles of nobility crowns scepters and other attributes of monarchy. Justice holds a sword and scales and Peace an olive branch. Behind them is a small pyramid on a pedestal inscribed with the names: Hancock Warren Sullivan Putnam Scamel Barber Green Laurens Wooster Mercer and Poor. Two urns on the monument are labeled "B. Franklin" and "Montgomery." To the right is a column surmounted by a seated nude Liberty figure holding a wreath. Below it stands a cherub with a scroll with the words 'Allons enfans de la Patrie.' an open book labeled 'The Rights of Man' a staff and liberty cap and a flag. Behind is a mountainous landscape and town. In the lower right foreground stands another group including a king about to stab himself several other monarchs cringing and a standing woman. In the lower left stand an aged classical priest and a writhing mutilated hydra appear. Not much is known about Renault or Verger beyond their production of this print.

1796rif. 65977New York: D.F. Launy 1796. Attractive Allegorical Engraving Depicting Democracy's Victory over Monarchism An attractive and elaborate allegorical engraving celebrating American independence drawn by French-American artist John-Francis Renault and engraved by Peter Verger both known almost exclusively for the present print. The print first published in 1796 and then again with the addition of extensive descriptive text in 1798 uses Classical iconography to illustrate America's victory with the gods led by Minerva with the American eagle on her aegis paying honor to American heroes and laying waste to the concepts and persons of monarchy. As a French veteran of the American Revolution and transatlantic witness to the French Revolution it is perhaps unsurprising that Renault would choose such subject matter for this dramatic piece. Reilly describes the print and its features in detail: "An allegory of liberty flourishing and monarchy and tyranny in decline. In a wooded grove Minerva with a shield bearing the arms of the United States and a flag emblazoned with stars pours libations on an altar fire. Beside her are three female figures. The first Plenty holds a torch to a pile of titles of nobility crowns scepters and other attributes of monarchy. Justice holds a sword and scales and Peace an olive branch. Behind them is a small pyramid on a pedestal inscribed with the names: Hancock Warren Sullivan Putnam Scamel Barber Green Laurens Wooster Mercer and Poor. Two urns on the monument are labeled "B. Franklin" and "Montgomery." To the right is a column surmounted by a seated nude Liberty figure holding a wreath. Below it stands a cherub with a scroll with the words 'Allons enfans de la Patrie.' an open book labeled 'The Rights of Man' a staff and liberty cap and a flag. Behind is a mountainous landscape and town. In the lower right foreground stands another group including a king about to stab himself several other monarchs cringing and a standing woman. In the lower left stand an aged classical priest and a writhing mutilated hydra appear. "Stauffer describes an impression the 1798 edition with re-engraved title and imprint accompanied by the following text: 'By a Column raised to Liberty is a Monument sacred to the memory of the American Heroes fallen in defence of their Country. While Liberty is Crowning them America uder sic the figure of Minerva sacrifices to their Manes and a Priest of that Deity sings their glorious actions. The Hydra of Despotism mortally wounded by those great men expires in frightful convulsions. Peace and Justice hand in hand join with America in her homage to Liberty. Plenty reclining on her emblematical Horn reposes on American ground. The Genius of Liberty points out the declaration of Independence and a Book of the American Constitution. From the dreadful Sight a group of Kings turn away with horror and dismay.'" Not much is known about Renault or Verger beyond their production of this print. Describing the former as an "Allegorical & historical painter" Falk writes that "Renault claimed to have been at the Battle of Yorktown in 1781 as assistant secretary to Count de Grasse and Engineer to the French Army. His 'Triumph of Liberty' was advertised in NYC in 1795 by D.F. Launy and again in 1797 by Renault and Verger. In 1819 he published an engraving of the British officers surrendering their arms to Washington at Yorktown describing himself as a U.S. Citizen." Falk has little to add respecting Verger except that "He was associated with John Francis Renault in the publication of the latter's 'Triumph of Liberty' print" and that he was "Active in NYC from 1795-97; Paris in 1806." OCLC locates copies of the first edition of this print at the Society of the Cincinnati American Antiquarian Society and Massachusetts Historical Society. We locate further copies at the Library of Congress and Yale Art Gallery. A rare and dramatic allegorical print published on the twentieth anniversary of the Declaration of Independence.
