1848réf. 35106Wien: Gredruckt bei Joseph Ludwig 1848. First Edition. Broadside 50.75x42cm. printed blackletter; previous folds two corners neatly clipped not approaching text else Very Good to Near Fine. Proposal issued shortly before the Vienna Uprising of October 1848 during which violence broke out between the laboring class of the city and the Hapsburg army as the latter was trying to leave in order to quell the Hungarian Revolution. Löve most likely a university student at the time proposes that Vienna would best be defended if the walls surrounding the inner city were to be dismantled they would be irreparable if damaged by enemy bombardment and the moat filled in for building development. Unlocated in OCLC or KVK though noted in James E. Walsh 1848 Austrian Revolutionary Broadsides and Pamphlets 1976 p. 143 dating the broadside to June 31 1848. Löve issued another five or six titles listed in Walsh one signed in type "Redacteur I der Studentenzeitung" editor of the student newspaper; another "Redakteur des Stürmers" editor of "The Strikers".

"ANTHELIA MELINCOURT at the age of twenty-one was mistress of herself and of ten thousand a year and of a very ancient and venerable castle in one of the wildest valleys in Westmoreland." The opening line of Melincourt is indisputably a rejoinder to Austen's celebrated gambit in Pride and Prejudice 1813 and Peacock's sharpest satire of wealth fortune-hunting and politics recounts the fortunes of the heiress and her social climbing friends as well as the bon-vivant Sir Telegraph Paxarent his philosophical friend Mr. Forester and the career of Sir Oran Haut-ton - a "specimen of the natural and original man" and an orang-utan of high fashion "heightened by a pair of enormous whiskers and the folds of a vast cravat" - who is elected as one of the MPs for the venerable rotten borough of Onevote. A rare work that is almost invariably seen in worn half leather bindings the present copy of Melincourt is in a nicely preserved near contemporary binding of dark green cloth with printed spine labels the publication date is too early by a few years for this to to be publisher's cloth a very handsome triple-decker with good provenance.

Engraved frontispiece portrait. 2 vols. 12mo. Bouillé was a French general who served in the West Indies and distinguished himself as a commander of French forces in the American Revolution; he was the cousin of La Fayette. He was also Lieutenant-General of the Royal forces in the days of the French Revolution and remained loyal to the King playing a major role in the plan for Louis XVI's escape which ended in the King's arrest at Varennes. Bouillé escaped to England where he supported the royalist cause and where he died in 1800. These Memoires were first published in London in 1794 in translation; they were then re-translated from the English into French and published there in 1798. According the publisher of this edition Bouillé's family which consigned the original manuscript to him claims that the English translation was faulty filled with errors incomplete and disavowed by Bouillé himself.
