1. (JEFFERSON, Thomas and DICKINSON, John). A Declaration... Setting forth the Causes and Necessity of their taking up Arms. IN: The New-England Chronicle. Cambridge, Massachusetts, Vol. VII. Numb. 365., July 21–July 27, 1775. Folio (10 by 15 inches), one large sheet folded once; pp.4 , portfolio. $28,000. An extraordinarily rare July 1775 Massachusetts newspaper printing (occupying the entire front page) of one of the greatest state papers of the American Revolution and the most important forerunner to the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson and John Dickinson for the Second Continental Congress. Within a month of the battles of Lexington and Concord, the second Continental Congress met in May 1775. Delegates included John Hancock, John Adams, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Patrick Henry, Benjamin Franklin, and John Dickinson, among others. The majority of the delegates were unsure about what should be done about the ongoing crisis with Great Britain. On July 5, Congress drafted the Olive Branch Petition, a letter to George III in which they appealed for the final time to their king to hear their grievances in order to avoid more bloodshed. But the next day, on July 6, Congress issued one of its most important documents, their “The arms we have been compelled “Declaration… [on] the causes and necessity of their taking up Arms,” written by Thomas Jefferson and John Dickinson. It is a strong statement of grievances against by our enemies to assume, we Britain (including taxation without representation, interference with commerce, and will, in defiance of every hazard, violation their rights to trial by jury) as well as a plea for peace and reconciliation. Its purpose was to justify before the world armed resistance to the British Parliament’s with unabating firmness and attempt to enforce an absolute authority over the colonies. The committee appointed on June 23 to draft this declaration consisted of Jefferson, Dickinson, Benjamin perseverance, employ for the Franklin, John Jay, John Rutledge, William Livingston, and Thomas Johnson. The preservation of our liberties.” original declaration was rejected, and Jefferson was asked to write a new draft; after extensive revision by Dickinson, Congress approved the draft on July 6, 1775. There were contemporary newspaper, pamphlet, and broadside printings of the Declaration, all of which are very rare and do not often appear on the market. Original folds with only very light wear and small occasional holes. Near-fine condition. A great rarity. 5 Some Featured Items “From Her Corrupter, F.

3. PAINE, Thomas. Common Sense… A New Edition, with Several Additions in the Body of the Work. To which is added an Appendix; together with an Address to the People called Quakers. London, 1776. Slim octavo, modern three-quarter green morocco. $46,000. Very rare first British edition, first state, of Common Sense, issued in 1776 within months of the first American edition, a work of such paramount interest to both America and Britain that this edition was issued almost certainly before the Declaration of Independence—the release of which “was due more to Paine’s Common Sense than to any one other single piece of writing”—with first-state half title and all of the hiatuses (including the two in the Introduction), handsomely bound in three-quarter morocco by Aquarius, London. All 1776 editions of Common Sense are rare and desirable and are increasingly difficult to obtain. “By far the most influential tract of the American Revolution… it remains one of the most brilliant pamphlets ever written in the English language” (A Covenanted People 27). The 1776 American editions of Common Sense ignited the drive for independence throughout the colonies and led directly to the ratification of the Declaration of Independence. It was “the most discussed and most widely circulated pamphlet in America” (Gimbel, 49). The British editions had a similar impact, greatly affecting public opinion and drawing many influential Englishmen to support the American cause. “It worked nothing short of miracles and turned Tories into Whigs” (Trevelyan, History of the American Revolution). This first British edition contains Paine’s “Without the pen of Paine, the additions, increasing the original work by one-third. Unlike subsequent sword of Washington would English editions, this rare first state is the only state of the first edition to contain four hiatuses where words and passages critical of the English have been wielded in vain.” crown have been deleted and “not replaced by print” (Gimbel, Table III:86-7). There were four London editions of Common Sense printed by —John Adams John Almon in 1776, issued in two forms—with James Chalmer’s Plain Truth and a general half title page listing both works, or listing them separately, with and without the half title. This copy of Common Sense is in the format with the first-state half title; without Chalmer’s Plain Truth. This true first English edition of Common Sense is most exceedingly rare and difficult to obtain. Gimbel CS-24. APS, 45. Small bibliographic slip tipped-in at rear. Minimal annotation to one page. Interior very fresh with only light scattered foxing, mild occasional edge-wear. A handsome about-fine copy, rare and important. 9 Some Featured Items “With The Kind Regards Of The Author”: Presentation Copy Of The 1872 First Issue Of Expression Of The Emotions, Inscribed By Darwin To The Famed American Reformer Charles Loring Brace, Together With Two Signed Autograph Letters By Darwin To Brace That Same Year

4. DARWIN, Charles. The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals. WITH: Two autograph letters signed. London, 1872. Octavo, original dark green cloth. Together with two autograph letters, each on one 10 by 8-inch sheet folded once for four pages. Housed together in a custom clamshell box. $127,000. Very rare presentation first edition, first issue, inscribed by Darwin to Charles Loring Brace: “With the kind regards of the author.” The only one of Darwin’s books to be illustrated with heliotype photographic plates—a pioneering innovation in scientific photography. Offered together with two 1872 autograph letters written and signed by Darwin to the recipient of this copy. Presentation copies of Darwin’s works are almost always found with the inscription in a secretarial hand; books with the presentation in Darwin’s actual hand, as with this copy, are quite uncommon. “When On the Origin of Species came out in late 1859, the question of humans was conspicuous by its absence, with only the cryptic promise that ‘Light will be thrown on the origin of man and his history.’ His novel baby studies, survey on expression, and myriad other investigations culminated in the 1872 book The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals, the second of his double salvo on human origins, following The Descent of Man by just a year. Expression is perhaps the foundational work of the scientific study of emotional expression, but it is pioneering in other ways too. For one thing, it is the first scientific book to be illustrated with photographs. Advances in photography (the heliotype process in

Brace was so enthusiastic about Darwin’s book that he introduced it to three friends on New Year’s Day in 1860: the abolitionist Franklin Sanborn, the philosopher Bronson Alcott, and the writer Henry David Thoreau… Brace continued to read and reread Origin (he later claimed to have read the book 13 times), grap- pling with its conclusions… In July 1872, Brace took a well-deserved vacation from the Children’s Aid Society and traveled abroad. He stopped in England to visit the man who had transformed his intellectual life a dozen years earlier” (Randall Fuller). The two 1872 autograph letters offered with this copy are from Darwin to Brace before and after his July visit. The first invites the Braces over for dinner: “I am much obliged for your kind present of [Brace’s book] The Dangerous Classes—the subject is very interesting, & I will certainly read your book… If you & Mrs. Brace could find time to come here to dinner & sleep, it wd. give Mrs. Darwin & myself much pleasure. I do not know how long you stay in London, but come after the 9th of July wd. be the most convenient time for me, as I expect a gentleman here on the 5th & 9th, & my strength for conversation with anyone is of the most limited extent. —If you are inclined to come here, I beg you to specify a day… We dine at 7º 15’. With my best thanks, my dear sir, Yours very faithfully—Ch. Darwin.” The letter of July 20 from Darwin to Brace (after the visit) reads: “I am much obliged for your extremely kind note. I cannot speak positively about the Sequoia, but my impression is that Heer found it in the lignite beds of Devonshire. Since you were here my wife has read aloud to me more than half of your work and it has interested us both in the highest degree & we shall read every word of the remainder. The facts seem to me very well told and the infer- ences very striking. But after all this is but a weak part of the impression left on our minds by what we have read; for we are both filled with earnest admiration at the heroic labours of yourself & others, with hearty respects and our very kind remembrances to Mrs. Brace. Believe me, my dear Mr. Brace, Yours very sincerely, Ch. Darwin.” When Darwin published Expression of the Emotions several months later, in the fall of 1872, Brace’s name was included in Darwin’s list of presentation copies that were to be sent out. Furthermore, a letter is recorded written from Brace to Darwin in 1873 that, although in fragments, seems to refer to Brace’s copy of Expression, as he writes of reading a volume that he and his wife “have enjoyed much the more (for) remembering the charming visit (we) had with its author last July.” This inscribed copy and this case) made the snapshot possible, capturing a moment in time the two letters that accompany it have been in the Brace family as opposed to the long exposures that required subjects to hold still for six generations, a family which includes the famous anthro- for extended periods” (James T.

“By Desire Of The Owner Of This Book, I Append My Name, With Pleasure”: First Edition Of Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s Poems, 1844, Warmly Inscribed After Her Death By Her Husband, Robert Browning, The Copy Of Andrew Carnegie’s Wife

5. BROWNING, Elizabeth Barrett. Poems. London, 1844. Two volumes. Small octavo, late 19th-century full brown morocco gilt, clamshell box. $17,500. First edition, one of only 1500 copies printed, warmly inscribed by Barrett’s husband, the poet Robert Browning, after her death: “By desire of the owner of this book, I append my name, with pleasure. Robert Browning. March 25-’86.” The copy of Louise Whitfield Carnegie, a prominent philanthropist and the wife of Andrew Carnegie, with her bookplates, beautifully bound in full morocco-gilt by Zaehnsdorf. Published the year before her courtship with Robert Browning began and six years after the critical and public success of The Seraphim, Elizabeth Barrett’s Poems “was so highly regarded that, when Wordsworth died in 1850, her name was widely canvassed as his most appropriate successor as poet laureate” (Drabble, 138). This edition does not contain “Sonnets from the Portuguese,” first published in the 1850 second edition, but does contain many of Browning’s best-loved poems. Without advertisements. Mixed issue: “not only do copies exist containing mixed sheets of each impression, but also most ‘sets’ are made up of volumes from the different impressions” (Barnes A5). Wise 6. This copy bears the inscription of Robert Browning, the supremely gifted poet, husband of Emily Barrett Browning, and “one of the most famous people in the English-speaking world” at the time of his death (DNB). It is unclear whether the original inscribee was Louise Whitfield Carnegie, Andrew Carnegie’s wife and a distinguished philanthropist in her own right. While the volumes bear her bookplates, it appears that Carnegie first met Browning a year after this inscription, at least according to her own recollections as recorded in her letters (see Louise Whitfield Carnegie: The Life of Mrs. Andrew Carnegie, 94). Whatever the case, this remains a most desirable inscribed copy with a fascinating association. Interior fine, slight rubbing and toning to extremities, front joint of Volume I partially split. Very nearly fine condition. 12 “A Formative Influence On The Principles Of The Declaration Of Independence And Of The Early State Constitutions”: Important 1698 Edition Of Locke’s Two Treatises Of Government

In his Second Treatise, Locke independent, no one presented his positive views on the origins of the social order.

The illustrations in the book were printed as line cuts produced from this set of proofs—apparently the only surviving suite of Calder’s original etchings for this book. Etchings fine (with only a few faint fingermarks). Book and dust jacket very good. Prospectus separated and chipped along fold. Letter fine. An important collection of original Calder artwork.

The forms of his lithographs are organized against flat neutral back- grounds and are printed in a limited range of bright colors, especially blue, red, yellow, green, and black [as here]. Amorphous amoebic shapes alternate with sharply drawn lines, spots, and curlicues, all positioned on the stone with seeming nonchalance” (Lenin Gallery).

The resultant prints give a strikingly sharp, almost three-dimensional representation” (Ovenden, 78-88). The 12 monthly parts of Street Life were reis- sued in book form in 1878, and also in a shorter version under the title, Street Incidents (1881), with 21 of the photographs (this edition).

23 Art & Illustrated Books “Only Poe Could Have Written The Poems. Only Dulac Could Have Illustrated Them”

17. (DULAC, Edmund) POE, Edgar Allan. The Bells and Other Poems. London, New York, Toronto, circa 1912. Tall quarto, original full vellum gilt. $3800. Signed limited first edition, one of 750 copies signed by Dulac, illustrated with 28 brilliant mounted color plates and Dulac’s gilt bell motif on the deluxe vellum binding. A striking departure from Dulac’s work to this point, his watercolors for The Bells were “overstreaked with gilt in some cases, crayon in others, to produce rich haunting effects… [One contemporary review declared,] ‘Sometimes Dulac’s pictures are deep-colored and intense, sometimes dim and ghost-like. But one and all are sensitized to record impressions of unearthly beauty or horror. Only Poe could have written the poems. Only Dulac could have illustrated them’” (Hughey 29). Without original silk ties. Offsetting to front endpapers. A fine signed copy.

Dessins, With A Wonderful Large Original Drawing “Hommage A Paul Morand” By Cocteau

18. COCTEAU, Jean. Dessins. Paris, 1923 i.e. 1924. Large quarto, original cream paper wrappers. $9000. Signed limited first edition, one of only 625 copies, this being one of only 50 copies “sur Hollande Van Gelder,” with a large laid-in original pen-and-ink drawing by Cocteau entitled “Hommage a Paul Morand,” depicting a wealthy woman reclining in a lounge chair, a copy of one of Morand’s books dangling from her hand. Dessins contains more than 100 line cuts of Cocteau’s early drawings, dedicated to Picasso. Because some plates were spoiled in the printing and therefore had to be restruck, the work did not actually appear until 1924. Cocteau’s large original laid-in drawing depicts a stylish woman lounging on a wooden chair, a copy of a book by imagist Paul Morand dangling from her hand. Morand met Cocteau in 1917 at the premiere of Cocteau’s ballet Parade. The two were very much part of the same avant-garde artistic and social move- ments. Interior generally fine, slight soiling and a bit of wear mainly to extremities of original wrappers, expert joint repairs. A scarce near-fine copy, most desirable with original drawing by Cocteau. 24 Kathe Kollwitz’s Classic Image, Famille II, Original Lithograph Signed In Pencil By The Artist

19. KOLLWITZ, Käthe. Famille, II. Fassung [Family, Second Version]. Original lithograph, signed in pencil. Berlin, 1931. Measures 20 by 16 inches, matted. $9000. Lovely and famous original Kollwitz lithograph of a family, depicting a baby reaching over its father’s shoulder for its smiling mother, signed by the artist in pencil. “It may seem surprising that there is a considerable number of works among Käthe Kollwitz’ oeuvre which show mothers with one or more children in carefree mood. Kollwitz did not only portray the poverty and need of working-class life in children, but also the happy moments in the lives of these people… [The children] enjoy the intimate close- ness of their mother who turns lovingly towards them or simply gives them a sense of protective se- curity. There are very few works, in which as in this lithograph, fathers also occur” (Käthe Kollwitz Museum, Köln). Kollwitz completed this lithograph in 1931; after the rise to power in 1933 of the National Socialists, she was forced to leave her position in the Preußische Akademie der Künste, and there was an unofficial ban in place against exhibiting any of her work. Fine condition.

Signed limited edition, one of 750 copies signed by Dulac, with 28 wonderful mounted color plates, bound in original vellum-gilt. A beautiful copy. “Dulac was one of the central illustrators of the Edwardian period, a time when fantasy illustration reached a peak of sophistication” (Clute & Grant, 300). “Dulac remained true to the medium of watercolor, and the critics were unanimous in their praise. He was recognized as an illustrator of first rank, a master of the fantastic and exotic, and ‘a dreamer of extraordinary dreams’… Among the 28 color plates in [this volume] are several of the artist’s most loved and celebrated illustrations: ‘The Little Mermaid,’ ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’ and ‘The Princess and the Pea’” (Dalby, 82-83). This collection also includes “The Wind’s Tale,” “The Nightingale” and “The Snow Queen.” Without silk ties (as often). Hughey 27b. A beautiful copy in fine condition.

First edition, French issue, the second volume in Klein’s acclaimed series of four “city” books, inscribed to longtime friend, fellow photographer Peter Turnley: “To Peter, ROME SWEET ROME, en toute amitié, William [line drawn] William Klein Paris 2005,” with over 130 vivid, high-contrast heliogravures (many double-page). According to Fellini, “this is the best Rome there is and Klein is the best photographer there is. He knows Rome like a book and this is it.” “Cheesy, delirious, pure Pop art,” William Klein’s Rome continues the “raw, kinetic and utterly original” innova- tions of Life is Good (1956) (Roth, 140-41). His genius resides in an unerring ability to remind “us that much great, serious art is often about play, achieved simply by experimenting with the possibilities of the material. Forget trance and witness-the revels are the thing” (Parr & Badger I:243). From the collection of Peter Turnley, renowned photographer for Newsweek and contributing editor for Harper’s Magazine. Images clean and fresh, front inner paper hinge starting but sound; some chipping with loss to edges of bright, unrestored dust jacket. Extremely good condition.

First edition of Abbott’s landmark photo-essay on New York City, from waterfronts to storefronts, with 97 halftone plates. After spending the better part of the twenties in Paris photographing such literary celebrities as James Joyce, Jean Cocteau, and Andre Gide, Abbott returned to New York in the 1930s with the intention “to do in Manhattan what Atget did in Paris.” Abbott captured the city “with a straight- forward style that nodded toward 19th-century classicism while signaling a new sort of stripped-down modernism” (Roth, 100). “A distinctive interpretation of New York as well as a priceless document thereof” (Icons of Photography, 104). Plates fine, mi- nor foxing to preliminaries, slight abrasions to pages xiv-xv, 46-47 without affecting plates, light edge-wear to extremities of original cloth. Scarce dust jacket with a bit of chipping and two closed tears, slightly affecting “C” of title and “N” in Dutton on spine end. An extremely good copy, scarce.

26 Striking Original Painting, “War Orphans” By Arthur Szyk

23. SZYK, Arthur. “War Orphans.” London, 1940. Original signed painting on paper; framed. $18,500. Extraordinary signed original watercolor and gouache painting of two young Jewish refugees, huddled together, by anti-Nazi caricaturist Arthur Szyk, whose wartime portrayals of brutality, heroism and suffering strongly influenced American attitudes toward the war effort. Polish-born Arthur Szyk considered his work to be “weapons of war.” Upon the German invasion of Poland in 1939, his life and career were altered forever. Syzk lived in London at the time, and, in an effort to sway American public opinion against the Nazis, British authorities dispatched him to New York City. There he was to assume the role of unofficial propagandist for the Allied powers, contributing a steady stream of anti-Nazi cartoons and caricatures for major U.S. publications, including Time, Collier’s, Esquire, The New York Times, the New York Post (where he eventually served as editorial cartoonist) and the Chicago Sun. For this mission, Szyk developed a new and different approach from his established style of “illumination,” creating caricatures that combined the precise detail and fine craftsmanship of his miniaturist illustrations with the barbed satire of political commentary. In his wartime work, Syzk focused primarily on three major themes: the brutality of the Germans, the heroism of the Poles, and the suffering of the Jews. These themes were present in his 1940 exhibition, “War and ‘Kultur’ in Poland,” which opened in London, and later in Toronto and New York. This striking original watercolor and gouache painting was apparently among the images in that exhibition. Fine condition. A beautiful piece.

“I’ll Sink, But I’ll Be Damned If I Strike!”

24. BOWLES, Carington, engraver and publisher, and COLLETT, John, artist. Paul Jones Shooting a Sailor who had attempted to strike his Colours in an Engagement. London, circa 1779. Broadside, image measuring 13 by 18 inches, trimmed close; entire sheet measures 13 by 19 inches. $12,500. Stirring large hand-colored engraved print of the great American naval commander in action during his famous and heated engagement with the HMS Serapis, firing a pistol point-blank at a sailor attempting to strike the American flag, with two wounded men nearby; Jones is stepping on the body of a dead man, with his cutlass under his left arm and four pis- tols stuck in his belt. This image depicts, albeit exaggeratedly and falsely, an incident during the encounter of Jones’ ship, the 42-gun Bonhomme Richard, with the British 50-gun HMS Serapis, when a shell-shocked gunner shouted for quarter till Jones knocked him down with the butt of a pistol, saying, “I may sink, but I’ll be damned if I strike.” The British public feared Jones and saw him as little more than a pirate, thus this rather negative portrayal of the man known in the United States as the “Father of the American Navy,” trampling his own dead and wounded in order to shoot his chief gunner, Henry Gardner, in the face. This only happened in the propagandistic fantasies of the British. By “the battle’s end, half the crewmates on each ship were dead, there were three or four inches of blood and guts on the high deck of Bonhomme Richard and both ships were on fire. Capt. Pearson, commander of Serapis as- sumed Bonhomme Richard would be the first to surrender. He asked Jones, ‘Do you strike?’ According to battle expert Peter Reaveley, Jones screamed out, ‘No! I’ll sink, but I’m damned if I’ll strike!’” (Joanna Romansic, “NHC Joins Search for John Paul Jones’ Ship”). Trimmed to the edge of the image and legend, a few minor wormholes, some repairs and ex- “Surrender be damned, I have not begun to fight.” pert restoration to versos and margins. A very good copy of this sensational print.

In its final form it consisted of five separate books [independently published and a set only by virtue of title], and The Fourth Book was the first wholly English sea-atlas of American waters… The Fourth Book was sufficiently in demand to justify thirty-seven legitimate editions from 1689 to 1794… The Fourth Book remains one of the great examples of the chart trade in England” (Verner, Bibliographical “For British trading in North America Note to The Fourth Book).

This contemporary broadside describes the conflict from a Loyalist perspective, praising the British victory. While it accurately describes the action, the casualty count it contains has been heavily embroidered by the British for propaganda purpos- es, emphasizing their troops’ fierce bravery and courage.

Octavo, early brown tree calf boards rebacked in period-style calf-gilt. $13,500. First editions in English of Burlamaqui’s Principles of Natural Law and his Principles of Politic Law, two seminal works with a profound influence on America’s Founders, in particular on Alexander Hamilton and on Thomas Jefferson’s use of “pursuit of happiness” in the Declaration of Independence. “Burlamaqui formulated the principles of popular sovereignty, of delegated power, of a constitution as fundamental law, of a personal and functional separation of powers into three independent departments… and finally, he provided for an institutional guardian of the fundamental law” (Bassani, 178-9). Scholars have noted that Jefferson’s concept of the “pursuit of happiness” in the Declaration of Independence can be chiefly traced to Burlamaqui’s Principles of Natural Law” (49). In 1769, Jefferson “ordered from London a list of “His singular beauty consists in 14 books, every one of them dealing with theories of government… [Of these] the books that were to be at the core of Jefferson’s stud- the alliance he so carefully points ies of government were John Locke’s Two Treatises, Burlamaqui’s Natural Law” and several others (Randall, 206). “In pamphlet af- out between ethics and jurisprudence, ter pamphlet the American writers cited… Burlamaqui and Vattel religion and politics.” on the laws of nature and of nations, and on the principles of civil government.” In his profound influence on the Founding Fathers, —Thomas Nugent “Burlamaqui is a writer of the most humanely moral principles, and his works are deservedly held in high esteem” (Marvin, 162).

Square quarto (7-1/4 by 8-3/4 inches), contemporary three-quarter brown calf, marbled boards. $11,800. First edition of a seminal volume of letters by Clarkson written to a French statesman during the French Revolution, featuring “the most concrete details of the Middle Passage and the punishments inflicted on captives,” with two copper-engraved plates of enslaved Africans bound by torturous wooden yokes, along with a large engraved folding map of an African coastal region and the engraved folding plan of an African village, in contemporary three-quarter brown calf. Thomas Clarkson was dedicated to making the brutality and in- humanity of slavery undeniable. As the British movement’s most tireless investigator, best known for History of the Slave Trade (1808), Clarkson was “the heart and soul of the campaign for abolition” (Thomas, 493-95). “Responding to the egalitarian rhetoric of the French Revolution, Clarkson traveled to Paris in August 1789, to agitate for anti-slavery legislation before the Assemblé Nationale… As part of his efforts, in December 1789, and January 1790,” Clarkson wrote these letters to Comte de Mirabeau, a leading member of the French Société des Amis des Noirs (DNB). “Here was the reality of the slave trade set out in all its horror before Mirabeau’s very eyes” (Dorigny, 126). Ultimately, however, “the great debate on the slave trade, so minutely prepared by Mirabeau… never took place” (Dorigny, 128). While his letters were never published in French, Clarkson’s 11 letters to Mirabeau were translated and issued herein as nine key letters. Over a decade before his History, Clarkson’s Letters on the Slave-Trade had a powerful impact. Interior generally fresh with light scattered foxing, minor expert repairs to folding map and iner paper hinges, small bit of dampstaining to blank preliminaries, slight edge-wear, rubbing to spine of contemporary binding.

Rare first American edition of this important political work, a significant influence on America’s Founding Fathers. Washington, Jefferson, Hancock and other leaders of the Continental Congress were subscribers to this edition, and both The Federalist Papers and Common Sense refer to it. Edited by Burgh’s close friend, Benjamin Franklin. John Adams declared Burgh’s Political Disquisitions “a book which ought to be in the hands of every American who has learned to read” (Wood, 165). A Scottish reformer, Burgh here brings together important issues of government, liberty, freedom of speech and press, armies and militias, taxation without representation, and the British oppression of the American colonies. Political Disquisitions “produced a great effect upon the mind of the American colonists during the Revolution” (Sabin “All lawful authority, 9246). Originally published in London in 1774-75, this rare first American edition is of particular importance because it was actually owned and read by many of the legislative, and executive, Founding Fathers and was a great influence upon them. In fact, demand was so great for this American printing that Franklin, who was a friend of Burgh, agreed originates from the people.” to edit it. The subscriber’s list begins with George Washington and includes important members of the Continental Congress, most notably Thomas Jefferson, John Hancock and John Dickinson. Jefferson is known to have recommended the work to others. The work is cited in Hamilton and Madison’s Federalist Papers, and Thomas Paine mentions it in Common Sense. Bookplates of Randolph G. Adams, distinguished bibliographer and librarian and a major force in the scholarship of the American Revolution. Original owner initials and flourish, dated 1775, in each volume.

The manuscript pardon, written in a secretarial hand and signed by John Adams, and with an intact paper seal, concerns the pardon of mariner John Cassin. Cassin was granted this pardon after four years detainment in the Caribbean after running afoul of ever-shift- ing trade laws. The pardon was granted to alleviate the resultant international relations situation, as many of the founders hoped that both Canada and Cuba would eventually be added to the United States. Adams offered only 21 pardons during his Presidency and itis unknown how many have survived, making this item exceptionally rare and desirable. With engraved illustration. Signatures bold, paper seal intact, small closed tear along edge, slight area of faint offsetting to verso. About-fine condition. 38 “Eternal Hostility Against Every Form Of Tyranny Over The Mind Of Man”

McMullin as “Second Lieutenant in the Third Regiment of Cavalry,” countersigned by Edwin Stanton, Secretary of War, with fragile paper seal present.

Stationed in Missouri, the unit was re- named and reorganized by an Act of Congress on August 3, 1861—the first summer of the Civil War—into the 3rd U.S. Cavalry Regiment. The regiment was initially tasked with pursuing retreating Confederates all the way to Texas. From May 1864 until the end of the war, the 3rd Cavalry Regiment was stationed in Arkansas.

Anderson who, born enslaved, earned medical and theological degrees before serving as chaplain to the Buffalo Soldiers Tenth Cavalry on the western frontier, where he was the “first African American to command a U.S. army fort.” “One of the best accounts to be found anywhere of the brave black regiments. Must reading for students of the Civil War era” (John Hope Franklin). It traces the heroic record of African American soldiers from the Revolution to the Civil War.

Born into slavery in Texas, Anderson was educated at Wilberforce University, received his theological degree from Howard University, and earned his medical degree at Cleveland University. In 1897 he sought an army commission as chaplain to the Tenth Cavalry Buffalo Soldiers. “When the regiment was sent to Chickamauga in preparation for deploying to Cuba, Anderson was left behind at Fort Assiniboine temporarily to serve as post commander, quartermaster, commissary officer, and post exchange officer. Thus Anderson goes down in history as the first African American to command a U.S. Army fort” (Glasrud, Searles, 75-6). Interior generally fresh with trace of edge-wear to early leaves, expert repairs to gutter edge of one plate and inner hinges, mild edge-wear, toning to spine of original cloth.

It includes 40 measures of original music in multiple keys, with partial lyrics written in pencil under eight measures “The instant happiness that (“…mi-a, you’ve got to come and see me”) and the notation “Transition from Maria vocal to dance” beneath the lyrics. Other musical notations include “f Porter gave his audience is the sempre, same movement in accompaniment” around measure nine and “into Maria dance” at measure 40. kind that becomes history.” This piece is possibly from the 1938 Broadway musical comedy “You Never —The New Republic Know.” Based on the story “By Candlelight” by Siegfried Geiger and a script by Rowland Leigh, “You Never Know” featured music and lyrics by Cole Porter. In the original cast, Mexican co- median Lupe Velez (1908-44) played a Parisian maid named Maria opposite American singer and dancer Clifton Webb (1889-1966). From the collection of Porter’s close friend Clifton Webb, an actor and singer who was a lead in the original cast of “You Never Know.” Expected light folds, minor paper clip impression on verso. 42 “Looking At You, While Troubles Are Fleeing, / I’m Admiring The View, ‘Cause Its You I’m Seeing”

Rare autograph draft, written entirely in Cole Porter’s hand in pencil circa 1928, of the lyrics for his hit song, “Looking At You.” From the collection of Clifton Webb, one of the inspirations for the song. Written entirely in Cole Porter’s hand in pencil, these lyrics read in full: “Looking at you, while troubles are fleeing, / I’m admiring the view, ’cause it’s you I’m seeing, / And the sweet honey-dew of well-being / Settles upon me. / What is this light that shines when you enter / Like a star in the night, & what’s to prevent her / From destroying my sight, if you center / All of it on me? / Looking at you, I’m filled with the essence of / The quintessence of joy / Looking at you, I hear poets tellin’ of / Lovely Helen of Troy. / Darling, life seemed so grey I wanted to end it / Till that wonderful day, you started to mend it, / And if you’ll only stay then I’ll spend it / Looking at you.” This is an early draft of Cole Porter’s hit song, “Looking At You.” While the lyrics are identical, the final version had some spelling and syntax differences. “Looking At You” was first performed at Revue des Ambassadeurs, a Parisian nightclub, in 1928, as an addition to a production initially built around the talents of George Gershwin’s sister, Frances. When “Clifton Webb and Dorothy Dickson joined the cast… they inspired Porter to write one of his loveliest songs,” (McBrien, Cole Porter, 119), titled “Looking at You.” From the collection of actor Clifton Webb. A good friend of Porter’s for decades, Webb worked mostly on Broadway in the 1920s and 30s before his film career blossomed in the for- ties in such movies as Laura (1944), The Razor’s Edge (1946) and Sitting Pretty (1948). Faint middle crease. Writing dark and readable. A wonderful item with superb provenance.

43 Americana Two Beautiful, Large, Vintage Photographic Portraits Of Sioux Chiefs By Frank A. Rinehart

40. RINEHART, Frank A. Two Large Native American Photographic Portraits. Omaha, 1896. One image measuring 12-1/2 by 15-1/2 inches, the other 13 by 16 inches; both mounted on glass and framed together in old wooden frame, entire piece measures 33 by 20-1/2 inches. $12,000. Two splendid large photographic portraits of Native American (Sioux) chiefs—Chief Hollow Horn Bear of the Lakota Sioux, on the left, and Chief Afraid of Eagle, of the Oglala Sioux, who participated in the Battle of Little Bighorn, on the right—by renowned photographer Frank A. Rinehart. Both images are vintage enlarged negatives (internegatives) that would have been used by Rinehart or his studio for producing large prints, and show remarkable detail, clarity, and fine tonal gradation. In 1898 Smithsonian ethnographer James Mooney arranged for the Indian Congress to coincide with the Trans- Mississippi Exposition in Omaha so that the delegates could serve as a living ethnographic museum for the Exposition. Photographer Frank A. Rinehart, the Exposition’s official photographer, was commissioned to do portraits of some of the 500 Indian delegates. Rinehart’s series of stunning photographs constitutes one of the most impressive visual records of Native Americans at the turn of the century. Hollow Horn Bear (1851-1913), Lakota chief and diplomat, was well-known for passionately defending his people’s rights in the face of repeated treaty violations. Afraid of Eagle was a Chief of the Oglala people, and he was present at the Battle of Little Bighorn in 1876, where General Custer met his demise. Bit of spotting and crackling to negatives, chiefly near edges, old wooden frame showing some scratches and wear, exceptionally good condition. Very scarce and desirable.

44 “His Principal Mistake Lay In His Rather Violent Opposition To Washington”

41. ROOSEVELT, Franklin D. Typed letter initialed. Washington, 1942. Single sheet of light green White House letterhead, measuring 7 by 9 inches; p. 1. $7500. Fascinating typed and hand-initialed letter written during World War II from President Franklin D. Roosevelt to his uncle, the Honorable Frederic A. Delano, thanking his uncle for sending a clipping on Tom Paine and stating that Paine’s principal mistake was opposing Washington in the election of 1796. The letter, typed on light green White House stationery, dated “August 25, 1942,” and addressed to FDR’s uncle, the Honorable Frederic A. Delano, reads in full: “Dear Uncle Fred:- Many thanks for sending me that clipping about Tom Paine. I , too, have always had a keen interest in him. His principle mistake lay in his rather violent opposition to Washington in the campaign of 1792 [i.e. 1796]. Affectionately, [hand-initialed] FDR.” This letter actually refers to the campaign of 1796, rather than the non-existent campaign of 1792. Paine, formerly a friend of Washington, felt betrayed by Washington’s inaction while Paine was languishing in a prison in France during the French Revolution. Roosevelt had a deep fascination with Paine. In fact, in one of his most famous Fireside Chats, during the darkest days of the war, just after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, he began with a lengthy invocation of the Revolutionary War and quoted Paine (“These are the times that try men’s souls…”). This letter was written to the Honorable Frederic A. Delano, a railroad magnate who held numerous governmental positions and was also FDR’s favorite uncle. Fine condition.

43. ROOSEVELT, Franklin D. Inaugural Addresses of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Washington, 1943. Slim quar- to, original half ivory vellum, acetate, slipcase. $20,000. Limited edition, one of only 100 copies, an exceedingly rare presentation/association copy, warmly inscribed by FDR to the renowned director of New York’s prestigious Morgan Library and a first cousin of FDR: “For Fred Adams Jr., My Bibliographer in Chief, Merry Christmas from Franklin D. Roosevelt.” This is one of FDR’s famed Christmas Books, privately printed at his own expense, a flawless copy in the original glassine and slipcase. This rare presentation/association copy of Roosevelt’s Inaugural Addresses features FDR’s first three Inaugural Addresses. Limited edition of only 100 copies: one in a tradition of privately printed Christmas Books that Roosevelt published “at his own expense… the FDR Christmas Books are prime collector’s items… nearly all of them were distributed exclusively to close friends of the family… difficult to obtain today” (Halter 193-4). This exceptional copy was inscribed by President Roosevelt during his presidency to Frederick B. Adams, Jr., who served as director for more than two decades of New York’s prestigious Morgan Library & Museum. Adams, “a renowned bibliophile… [was] a first cousin once removed of President Roosevelt through his mother, Ellen Walters Delano.” Adams also collected FDR’s “speeches and personal arcana, which he catalogued as well. ‘It was sort of a joke between us that I was his bibliographer,’ he said” (New York Times).

46 Eleven-Page Typed Manuscript Inscribed By Frank Lloyd Wright To Lewis Mumford

44. WRIGHT, Frank Lloyd. Typed manuscript inscribed. Taliesin West, February, 1953. Eleven pages, each 8-1/2 by 11 inches, typed and inscribed on the rectos. $8800. Original 11-page typed manuscript, inscribed by its author, Frank Lloyd Wright, to his friend, the architecture critic Lewis Mumford: “For Lewis, F.L. Wright.” With Mumford’s annotation in the top right corner: “Feb 1953.” The distinctive type face and spacing of the text invite the possibility that Wright typed this himself. “The Language of Organic Architecture” is perhaps the most succinct elucidation of Wright’s architectural philosophy. It originally appeared in print in Wright’s occasional series of broadsheets as Taliesin Square-Paper 16 in February 1951, and again, in a slightly revised form in May 1953, under the title “Organic Architecture.” Lewis Mumford and Frank Lloyd Wright first began corresponding in the 1920s, after Mumford wrote an article placing Wright in contrast to the European modernists like Le Corbusier. Mumford also characterized Wright’s work as an ideal of form and expression ideally suited to the American landscape. Letters between the two turned into meet- ings, and a long and productive friendship developed. Wright’s isolationism during World War II caused a public falling out between the two and they did not speak for over a decade. But their respect for each other remained, and gradually they resumed their correspondence, which continued until Wright’s death in 1959. Staple holes to top left corners. Fine condition.

Three years later she was dead at the age of 44.

46. DICKINSON, John. Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania, To the Inhabitants of the British Colonies. London, 1768. Octavo, modern half green calf gilt. $8500. First English edition of the famed revolutionary work that helped spark repeal of the Stamp Act by calling it “pernicious to freedom,” one of only 500 copies, featuring the first appearance in print of Franklin’s prefatory British Editor to the Reader, not in the first American edition or second English edition, with Franklin calling for restraint, urging Britain to never be “so angry with her colonies as to strike them.” Dickinson, a leading member of the Continental Congress, authored several of the most important Revolutionary works. His Letters from a Farmer was chief among them and “helped to repeal the Stamp Act” (Langguth, 175). He singles out the 1765 Stamp Act as “pernicious to freedom” and contests “Parliament’s power with greater acuity than any writer had shown before” (Bailyn, 215). Dickinson was “known as the ‘Penman of the Revolution… [This is] the most important political writing of the revolutionary period” (Webking, 41-3). “Excepting the political essays of Paine… none equaled the Farmer’s Letters” (Grolier, American 100:13). This rare first English edition was published “at the insistence” of Franklin, then in London (Ford 303). Dickinson’s “12 letters appeared first in thePennsylvania Chronicle between November 30, 1767 and February 8, 1768” (Adams 54a), and were first issued separately in the virtually unobtainable March 1768 Philadelphia edition. Bookplate of prominent bibliophile and publisher James Strohn Copley. Text generally fresh with mild scattered soiling, foxing, title page with tiny gutter-edge holes from original stitching not affecting text, mild edge-wear to spine. A desirable extremely good copy, handsomely bound.

First edition of this collection of President Kennedy’s speeches and statements, one of only 100 copies handsomely bound in full morocco gilt-tooled with the presidential seal, inscribed on a tipped-in leaf to Arthur Goldberg, appointed by JFK first to the role of Secretary of Labor and then Supreme Court Justice: “For Arthur, with appreciation, Jackie.” Published mere months after Kennedy was assassinated, this volume explores the priorities of his second and third year in office through a selection of his public statements and speeches. Without original matching slipcase. This copy, boasting a deluxe calf binding with gilt presidential seal, is one of only 100 given to those who attended a fund raising dinner for the Kennedy Library in honor of Jacqueline Kennedy, who was making her first public appearance since her husband’s death. Mrs. Kennedy signed copies for those who requested she do so, although few of the copies are inscribed to a specific named individual as this copy is. Goldberg served as Kennedy’s Secretary of Labor until 1962, when Kennedy appointed him to the Supreme Court. Later, Goldberg was persuaded by LBJ to resign from the Supreme Court in order to serve as American ambassador to the United Nations. Interior clean, minor flaking to spine. A handsome and rare inscribed copy.

Lee’s inscription neatly translated to English in pen on copyright page. Very nearly fine condition.

Tall quarto, contemporary full paneled brown calf rebacked. $18,500. First edition of Tyson’s “epoch-making” anatomical study that laid a foundation for the theory of evolution, “the first work to demonstrate scientifically the structural relationships between man and anthropoid ape” (Norman), heralded as a “forerunner of Blumenbach, Buffon, Huxley and Darwin” (PMM), with eight striking copper-engraved folding plates. In Tyson’s Orang-Outang “the earliest important study in comparative morphol- ogy… he compared the anatomy of men and monkeys, and he placed between them what he thought was a typical pygmy—it was, in fact, an African chimpan- zee… He established a new family of anthropoid apes standing between monkey and man... Popularized as the ‘missing link,’ the theory that man shares some remote common ancestry with the apes was not clearly expounded until the publication of Huxley’s Man’s Place in Nature in 1863 and Darwin’s Descent of Man in 1871. Tyson did not foresee the theory of evolution; but his work contrib- uted substantially to its formulation” (PMM 169). With eight splendid engraved folding plates “drawn by William Cowper... [It] was the first work to demonstrate scientifically the structural relationships between man and anthropoid ape… Tyson’s anatomical study—the first conducted of a great ape—had a powerful influence on all subsequent thought on man’s place in nature” (Norman 2120). Interior generally fresh with light scattered foxing, plates with minimal paper repairs, early archival tape reinforcement to versos with lightest dampstaining to one plate, expert restoration to boards. A highly desirable copy of this seminal work in the history of science.

In its original form Caradog’s chronicle is not now extant’” (DNB). The work was translated into English in the 16th century by Humphrey Llwyd but remained in manuscript.

Paul Getty Museum, A Thousand Years of the Bible, 70)—with much woodcut ornamentation, complete in contemporary paneled reverse calf boards. Queen Elizabeth I “encouraged a renewed interest in the English Bible, but the Great Bible [prepared by Miles Coverdale and published in 1540] was still the version authorized for church use. It was clear that the Geneva Bible [published 1560 by Calvinist exiles in Switzerland] was, in many ways, a superior translation; some of its notes, however, were offensive to the Crown. Consequently, it seemed advisable to undertake a revision of the Great Bible. Matthew Parker, Archbishop of Canterbury, headed the revision committee, which included many bishops and well-known biblical scholars. Few changes were made in the Old Testament. There is evidence of genuine scholarly learning in the changes to the New Testament… The new authorized version was called the ‘Bishops’ Bible because of the dominant role they played” (Bible 100 Landmarks 63). First published 1568. Set mostly in Gothic type in double columns of 58-59 lines. Gathering 3* printed in red and black, with small woodcut illustrations for each month in the Calendar.

77. LEAF, Munro. The Story of Ferdinand. New York, 1936. Square octavo, original half tan cloth, dust jacket, custom clamshell box. $26,000. Rare first edition of one of the most popular and enduring children’s books ever written, inscribed: “For Howard Stewart with all the best from Ferdinand and Munro Leaf,” with an original drawing of Ferdinand also by Leaf. Ferdinand marked Leaf and Lawson’s first collaboration. “It is dynamic text and no less vital picturization” (Bader, 145). “This is perhaps one of the finest 20th-century examples of the inspired wedding of a text and illustrations to make a children’s book that as a whole is even greater than the sum of its parts- which are in themselves very fine indeed. The simple, delightful Leaf story about a Spanish bull who prefers the fragrance of flowers to the roar of the bull-ring is lovingly illustrated by Robert Lawson. The overworked word ‘classic’ is well deserved here. Children have adored The Story of Ferdinand ever since the book was published” (Early Children’s Books and Their Illustration, 251). A near-fine inscribed copy with rare original drawing.

71 Literature “Perhaps The Best-Produced Shakespeare Edition Of The 18th Century”

80. SHAKESPEARE. The Works of Shakespear. Oxford, 1770-71. Six volumes. Royal quarto, 19th-century three-quarter calf gilt. $15,000. Desirable expanded second edition of Hanmer’s famous illustrated set of Shakespeare, with 36 full-page copper-engravings (one for each play) by Hubert Gravelot after Francis Hayman, along with frontispiece portrait after Chandos, and two plates of the Westminster and Stratford monuments. Considered by many to be superior to the 1744 first edition which was issued in a small printing. According to Thomas Dibdin, Hanmer’s was the first Shakespeare “which appeared in any splendid typographical form.” First published in 1744 in a small edition, this republication contains Pope’s original Preface, Rowe’s account of the life of Shakespeare, additional notes by Percy, Warton and Hawkins and an expanded glossary. “This reprint on excellent paper, perhaps the best-produced Shakespeare edition of the 18th century, deserves more recognition than it has received… artistically the most delightful edition of Shakespeare” (Franklin, 31). Artist Francis Hayman was “the most proficient English illustrator of his time” (Ray, 5). Volume I is 1771 printing; all others are 1770 printings. Grolier, Shakespeare’s Plays 11. Infrequent marginal dampstaining to generally clean text, expert joint repair and restoration to several volumes, boards a bit scuffed. A handsomely bound set of this desirable illustrated royal quarto edition.

72 “Now The Leaves Are Falling Fast…”: Autograph Manuscript Of Auden’s Poem Autumn Song, Signed By Him

81. AUDEN, W.H. Autograph manuscript poem signed. No place, no date. Octavo, one leaf, written on one side only, 20 lines, five verses in black ink. $7200. Autograph manuscript of the first published version of Auden’s classic poem “Autumn Song” (here untitled) in Auden’s hand, signed by him and with an interesting correction. When Auden initially wrote out the poem, he mistakenly omitted the third verse. He then went on to include this verse beneath his signature, drawing an arrow to its proper place, with his note “Sorry, I forgot this verse (I have no copy here). W.H.A.” “Autumn Song” initially appeared in Auden’s 1936 collection Look, Stranger! In the coming years, Auden revised the poem substantially, with line alterations in the second, third and fourth stanzas, and a com- pletely rewritten final stanza. The revised poem is now usually found in collections and anthologies, such as Mendelson’s definitive edition of Auden’s Collected Poems. This fair copy, however, hews closely to the earliest published version, indicating that it was probably written out sometime closer to the 1936 publication date, before the poet had considered re- vising. Faint fold lines. Fine condition.

“From A Martian Named Ray Bradbury”

82. BRADBURY, Ray. The Martian Chronicles. Garden City, 1950. Octavo, original light green cloth, dust jacket, custom cloth clamshell box. $6800. First edition of this scarce science fiction classic, inscribed in green ink: “David—From a Martian named—Ray Bradbury, 1972.” Bradbury’s first novel and second book, “which could be regarded as an episodic novel, made Bradbury’s reputation… Its closely interwoven stories, linked by recurrent images and themes, tell of the repeated attempts by humans to colonize Mars… All the Bradbury themes that were later to be repeated find their earliest shapes here” (Clute & Nicholls, 151). “This was the book that established Bradbury’s reputation… He put far more emphasis on style and mood than he did on technical detail or scientific plausibility… His reward was a stunning popular and critical success” (Pringle, Science Fiction 100 3). Interior fine, light toning to spine; dust jacket lovely and about-fine. A beautiful inscribed copy.

73 Literature First Edition Of James And The Giant Peach, Inscribed By The Illustrator

83. DAHL, Roald. James and the Giant Peach. New York, 1961. Large octavo, original red cloth, dust jacket. $5500. Scarce first edition of Dahl’s “little classic,” with beautiful illustrations (many full- page and in color) by Nancy Ekholm Burkert, inscribed: “To all the dear Spencers and Ollmanns, large and small! Nancy Ekholm Burkert.” “In 1953 Dahl married the actress Patricia Neal; they had three children, to whom he began to tell bedtime stories. James and the Giant Peach, the first of these to reach print, is a comic fantasy about a small boy who travels the world inside a huge peach, in company with several giant insects. Like most of Dahl’s children’s books, it first appeared in print” in the United States (Carpenter & Prichard, 139). Illustrator Nancy Eckholm Burkert’s drawings “are not a sec- ondary accompaniment to words, but a primary and integral part of the book experience in which she is an equal partner with the writer” (Michael Danoff). James and the Giant Peach was her first illustrated children’s book. Price-clipped dust jacket lightly rubbed with minor loss to spine foot. A near-fine copy of an elusive first edition, inscribed by the illustrator.

“The First Of Its Kind”: Rare First Complete Divine Comedy In English, 1802

84. DANTE. The Divina Commedia… Inferno—Purgatorio—and Paradiso. London, 1802. Three volumes. Octavo, 19th-century three-quarter polished red calf gilt. $12,500. First edition of the first English translation of Dante’s Divine Comedy, significant for “assisting to reestablish an audience for Dante, whose reputation had suf- fered a decline in the previous century” (ODNB), translated by Henry Boyd, with frontispiece portrait of Dante by Thomas Stothard. The first English translation of the whole Divina Commedia of Dante, with Boyd’s attempt to capture Dante’s terza rima, which in English is extremely difficult to sustain. In 1785, Boyd had published his translation of the Inferno alone, “the first of its kind” (DNB). This printing also contains preliminary essays and notes to each of the three books. Bookplates; early owner ink signature. Text clean, light rubbing to joints and corners, faint evidence of shelf labels to spines, spines toned. An extremely good, attractively bound copy.

74 “One Of The Most Famous 20th-Century Books Of All… A Must”

85. ELIOT, T.S. Old Possum’s Book of Practical Cats. London, 1939. Octavo, original yellow cloth, dust jacket. $3600. First edition of one of T.S. Eliot’s most popular books, in its original dust jacket designed and drawn by Eliot. It was fellow poet Ezra Pound who first gave the nickname “Old Possum” to Eliot. Eliot sometimes used it among his friends and occasionally signed letters to them with the initials “T.P.” (Tom Possum). “A classic from the day it was printed and today—partly because of the irrepressible musical, Cats—one of the most famous 20th-century books of all. This one is a must” (Joseph Connolly). Gallup A34a. Interior very fresh with faint foxing to preliminaries; colorful dust jacket with less toning than usual, light edge-wear to spine head, closed tear along front seam. A lovely copy.

True First Edition Of Plath’s Only Novel The Bell Jar, Published Under The Pseudonym Victoria Lucas

86. (PLATH, Sylvia) LUCAS, Victoria. The Bell Jar. London, 1963. Octavo, original black paper boards, dust jacket, custom clamshell box. $13,000. First edition of Sylvia Plath’s only novel, published pseudonymously only one month before her death, her powerful exploration of a brilliant yet fragile mind, in very scarce original dust jacket. “One of the most celebrated and controversial of postwar poets writing in English,” Sylvia Plath com- mitted suicide on February 11, 1963, little more than a month after her novel The Bell Jar was published in England under the pseudonym of Victoria Lucas (Oates, New York Times). With her “taut, controlled, colloquial yet poetic prose” Plath, in her only novel, has forever recorded “the raw experience of night- mare” (Drabble; Rosenthal). A bright and lovely copy.

75 Literature Goldfinger, Boldly Signed By Ian Fleming

87. FLEMING, Ian. Goldfinger. London, 1959. Octavo, original black cloth, dust jacket, custom clamshell box. $23,000. First edition of the seventh James Bond thriller, boldly signed by Ian Fleming. Fleming’s novels are “a perfect example of the right thing at the right time, as appropriate an expression and index of their age as, for example, the Sherlock Holmes stories or the novels of Dashiell Hammett” (Grella, 20th Century Crime and Mystery Writers). “In the first two months of 1958, Fleming wrote the first draft of Goldfinger under the working title The Richest Man in the World. This was destined to become a quintessential example of both the novels and the movies” (Biondi, 35). Perhaps surprisingly, given 007’s globe-spanning adventures, this is the only Bond novel to include a map (on unnumbered page 246). Cloth in Gilbert’s second state, without small indent in the top left section of the skull: “both were available upon publication.” Gilbert A7a (1.2). Bookplate. Book fine, bright dust jacket with a few faint spots of foxing and very minor wear to spine head and upper corners, near-fine. A scarce and desirable signed copy.

“Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. The third time it’s enemy action.”

76 “We Are Not To Judge The Feelings Of Others By What We Might Feel In Their Place”: 1766 First Issue Of Goldsmith’s Classic The Vicar Of Wakefield

88. GOLDSMITH, Oliver. The Vicar of Wakefield. Salisbury, 1766. Two volumes. 12mo, 19th-century full tan calf gilt. $6200. First edition, first issue, of Goldsmith’s best-known novel, beautifully bound by Bedford. The Vicar of Wakefield has long charmed readers “in part due to the imaginative glow that Goldsmith so effortlessly casts over the action… and to his flexible and easy style” (Baugh, et al., 1061). As celebrated as the novel itself is the account which grew up around it regarding Dr. Johnson’s hand in seeing it published. “Boswell tells the story that Johnson was one morning called in by Goldsmith, whose landlady had arrested him for his rent. Johnson found that Goldsmith had a novel ready for press, took it to a publisher, sold it for 60 pounds, and brought back the sum, which enabled Goldsmith to pay his rent and rate his landlady” (DNB). First issue, with the misprint “Waekefield” in running headline in Volume II, page 95. Text fine, only minor wear to calf. A beautiful copy.

The First Complete English Translation Of Gogol’s Dead Souls

89. GOGOL, Nikolai V. Tchitchikoff’s Journeys; or, Dead Souls. New York, 1886. Two volumes. Octavo, original burgundy cloth gilt, custom clamshell box. $8500. First edition of the first complete English translation of the Russian novelist’s unfinished masterwork, “the first novel from which the world began to form its ideas of 19th-century Russia” (Hornstein, 139). First published in 1842 in Russian, Gogol’s Dead Souls is now widely regarded as the foundation of the Realist movement in Russia. A sa- tirical story of bureaucracy and serf- dom, the novel was extremely popular, as it was interpreted as an obvious condemnation of feudalism. Tragically, Gogol burned the draft of a second volume only ten days before his death in 1852. An English translation of Part I of the novel was published in 1854 under the title Home Life in Russia, but is “an adaptation… with an altered ending” (Line, 19). The present translation, by Isabel F. Hapgood, also contains A.E. Zakharchenko’s conclusion, translated from Charrière’s French edition. Text fresh, only light soiling to cloth, mild toning to spines. A handsome copy in near-fine condition.

“One Of The Most Endearing Books Ever Written For Children”

91. GRAHAME, Kenneth. The Wind in the Willows. London, 1908. Octavo, original blue cloth, custom slipcase. $14,000. First edition, presentation copy, of a childhood classic, with publisher’s presentation stamp. “Unquestionable is the permanence, as an inspired and characteristically English contribution to children’s literature, of Kenneth Grahame’s The Wind in the Willows… one of the most endearing books ever written for children… Part of the secret success of the book is that its appeal is ageless and parents never tire of reading it aloud. Like all great books it is inexhaustible” (Eyre, 62). Grahame created his classic a series of bedtime stories for his four-year-old son Alastair, who was known as Mouse; yet it also became “in many respects an elegy for the old idyllic English rural life which Grahame could now see was passing away forever” (Carpenter & Prichard, 218). Stray mark to frontispiece, scattered foxing (less than usual), inner paper hinges expertly repaired, original cloth exceptionally fresh. A beautiful and desirable presentation copy. Rare.

78 Radclyffe Hall’s Own Copy Of The Well Of Loneliness, With The Bookplate Of Hall And Her Lover Una Troubridge

92. HALL, Radclyffe.The Well of Loneliness. London, 1928. Octavo, original black cloth, dust jacket. $9000. First edition of Radclyffe Hall’s pathbreaking work of gay and lesbian literature, her own copy, with the bookplate of Hall and her lover Una Troubridge. The Well of Loneliness provided an open treatment of lesbianism “at a time when homosexuality could not be discussed in English books or in the English press. Unlike male inversion… the female kind was not officially acknowledged to exist in England” (de Grazia, 166-167). Following its 1928 publication in England, the book was ordered withdrawn from sale by the Secretary of the Home Office. Early in 1929 in New York, “Charles Sumner, Secretary of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice… raided the office of the publisher and removed 865 copies remaining from the sixth edition, then raided Macy’s book department” (Haight 94). This is the author’s own copy, with the shared bookplate of Hall and her partner Una Troubridge. Hall had been with Troubridge for a decade before she wrote The Well of Loneliness; she considered it essential to get Troubridge’s approval before publishing the book: “I am glad to remember that my reply was made without so much as an instant’s hesitation: I told her to write what was in her heart” (de Grazia, 167). The attention from the trials in England and America over the work’s “obscenity”—which resulted in a victory for the Hall and her publishers in America—turned the work into an international bestseller. The book remained contraband in England until 1959. The publisher managed to produce two issues in England before the book was suppressed; this copy is from the second issue, with the word “whip” corrected to “whips” on page 50. Book fine, with a bit of toning to endpapers only; scarce dust jacket with tears with minimal loss, spine toned. Very desirable.

79 Literature “To Michael, Of St. Thomas, Where I Have Also Had Wonderful Moments Of Life”: Warmly Inscribed In The Year Of Publication By Norman Maclean

93. MACLEAN, Norman. A River Runs Through It, and Other Stories. Chicago and London, 1976. Octavo, original blue cloth, dust jacket. $6000. First edition, first printing, of Norman Maclean’s first book, warmly inscribed in the year of publication: “University of Chicago. May 19, 1976. To Michael, of St. Thomas, where I have also had wonderful moments of life. Norman.” Maclean’s largely autobiographical title novella is drawn from his early years spent mostly in the Rocky Mountain region. Though critically acclaimed, the work received little attention until its adaptation as a major film, after which it achieved tremendous popular success. In addition to the title story, this collection includes “Logging and Pimping and ‘Your Pal, Jim” and “USFS 1919: The Ranger, the Cook, and A Hole in the Sky.” In first-issue dust jacket, without edition statement. Book fine; lightest rubbing, mere trace of edge-wear to about-fine dust jacket.

94. HEMINGWAY, Ernest. The Fifth Column. A Play in Three Acts. New York, 1940. Octavo, original grey cloth, dust jacket, custom clamshell box. $6200. First separate edition of Hemingway’s only full-length play, inspired by his experiences in the Spanish Civil War, one of only 1174 copies printed, in original dust jacket. “There were author-publisher discussions, in 1938, when the The Fifth Column was written, whether to publish the play separately or not. A collection of Hemingway’s short stories—The First Forty-Eight—was in the planning stage, and Hemingway encouraged the inclusion of the play… The Fifth Column was adapted by Benjamin Glazer and produced by the Theatre Guild, Inc. opening on 26 January 1940 at the Shubert Theatre in New Haven, Connecticut” and later performed at the Alvin Theatre in New York (Grissom A.16.1.d).

First edition (one of 3000 copies) of Flannery O’Connor’s powerful first novel, “a comic masterpiece,” a lovely copy in original dust jacket. O’Connor’s extraordinary first book exemplifies her characteristically sharp satire and gothic sensibility, deftly blending humor and the grotesque. “This novel is like no other—the individuality is intense, the comedy fierce, the truth undeniable” (Burgess, 99 Novels, 62). “A comic masterpiece, Wise Blood focused on Hazel Motes, the would-be founder of a ‘church without Christ, where the blind stay blind, the lame stay lame, and them that’s dead stays that way” (Davis, 1955). “Her doctrinally strict, mordantly funny stories and novels are as close to perfect as writing gets,” (New York Times). Farmer A1.I.a.1. Book fine; about-fine dust jacket with two small nicks to upper rear panel, spine colors right and bright.

First Edition Of O’Hara’s First Novel

96. O’HARA, John. Appointment in Samarra. New York, 1934. Octavo, original black cloth, dust jacket. $5500. First edition of O’Hara’s first novel. John O’Hara’s acclaimed first novel was “an instant success when it was published in 1934… tightly constructed and fast-paced, it detailed the three-day slide to self-de- struction of a young man named Julian English.” O’Hara was hailed as “‘one of the most underrated authors in America” by Bennett Cerf, who said that “O’Hara be- longs right up there with William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway” (New York Times). With publisher’s errata slip tipped in after title page, as called for. Book fine; some chipping, soiling to scarce, very good dust jacket.

First edition of Shakespeare’s works to be edited by Edward Capell, in handsome contemporary binding by Charles Hering. “In 1745 Capell had been struck by the unsystematic ed- iting of Shakespeare... and had begun working on a new edition. By 1750 he had collected all the recent editions of Shakespeare, the folios, and most of the known quartos... It was the first edition to be prepared from a complete transcript rather than a marked-up copy of the previous edition, and it marked a change of editorial policy in which the textus receptus was rejected in favor of an unusually meticulous collation of the early quartos and first folio. Pegge records that Lord Dacre wrote to Capell as the ‘Restorer of Shakespeare’, and that Capell wept on reading the letter” (DNB). With the booklabel in Volume I of binder Charles Hering, active in London from 1795 to 1815. Bookplates. Interior generally fine, vellum quite clean, boards a bit bowed. A beautiful copy of this important edition.

Inscribed By Dylan Thomas To U.S. Poet Laureate Stephen Spender

106. THOMAS, Dylan. Twenty-Five Poems. London, 1936. Octavo, original gray paper boards, dust jacket, custom clamshell box. $17,500. First edition, first printing, presentation copy of Dylan Thomas’ second book of poetry, inscribed to prominent literary figure and United States Poet Laureate Stephen Spender: “Stephen Spender. Dylan Thomas.” This first printing of 730 copies of Twenty-Five Poems received mixed reviews. But then Edith Sitwell reviewed the book for the Sunday Times. “No doubt as a result of Edith Sitwell’s enthusiasm, Twenty-Five Poems was reprinted the following month... Dylan Thomas was finding a wider public” (Ferris, 145-6). “His position in the English tradition seems secure; Donne, Blake, and Yeats are among the precur- sors cited” (DNB). This copy is inscribed by Thomas to poet Stephen Spender and bears Spender’s bookplate. Both Thomas and Spender accomplished their best (and most famous) work during the 1930s. However, Spender—who was five years older—had achieved success slightly before Thomas, allowing him to start a fund to support the struggling 19-year-old. In an interview in The Paris Review, Spender spoke at length about how he was moved to invite Thomas to London (and pay his fare) after reading a “marvelous” poem. Thomas arrived nervous and somewhat cowed by city life, yet ended up staying and making his mark with works like Twenty-Five Poems. A lovely inscribed copy with exceptional provenance. 86 First Edition Of Atlas Shrugged, Inscribed By Ayn Rand

This novel describes how a genius named John Galt grows weary of supporting a society of un- grateful parasites and one day simply shrugs and walks away. He becomes an inspiration to like-minded men and women, all of whom eventually follow his example, until society, in its agony, calls them back to responsibility and respect. Again [as with Rand’s novel The Fountainhead in 1943] reviews were unsympathetic, and again people bought the book” (ANB). By 1984 “I swear—by my life and my love more than five million copies of Atlas Shrugged had been sold, and of it—that I will never live for the sake in a 1991 Library of Congress survey Americans named it second only to the Bible as the book that had most influenced their lives. of another man, nor ask another man First printing, in first-issue dust jacket.
