Burnett’s first childrens novel, Little Lord Fauntleroy was originally published as a serial in the St. Nicholas Magazine between November 1885 and October 1886, then as a book by Scribner’s in 1886. Burnett based Little Lord Fauntleroy’s character on her young son, Vivian. The accompanying illustrations by Reginald Birch set fashion trends, and the book was so popular that there was a craze of mothers dressing their sons with velvet suits and lace collars based on Oscar Wilde’s attire, as well as looking like a hero. Little Lord Fauntleroy set a precedent in copyright law when in 1888 its author won a lawsuit against E. V. Seebohm over the rights to theatrical adaptations of the work.

Autograph Letter Signed by Charles Darwin, discussing publication of the U.S. edition of the sequel to On the Origin of Species. 35 lines, in ink, on 3 pp. of 4-page notesheet, signed Ch. Darwin. 17.7x11.4 cm. (7x4½”). 4 Chester Place, Regent’s Park [London]: Wednesday [no date, 1860] Excellent Autograph Letter Signed, in which Darwin writes to his publisher (Murray) about the printing in America of his sequel to The Origin of Species, and makes further inquires about the publication schedule of “Fur Darwin” and sales figures on the Origin and “the new book”. The book being printed in “such hot haste” in America is The Variation of Animals and Plants Under Domestication – for which the printers will not wait for stereo- types. Darwin wants the sec- ond edition to be used for the first American printing (due to corrections having been made), and he asks that sheets of it be sent to Asa Lot 50 Page 14 Gray at Harvard, Darwin’s main American proponent. The Variation of Animals was to a great extent written coterminously with the Origin: it comprised the first portion of Darwin’s original “big manuscript” on evolution, and contains much of the empirical data supporting the theory – content which Darwin trimmed away from the Origin so as to make it more widely read- able. “Fur Darwin” was a pro-evolution work which Darwin had translated from the German to support his position in England. The letter is URECORDED AND UNPUBLISHED.

Regius, 1564 Very Rare and Important First Edition of Dee’s Masterwork, in which he presents and explains his “Hieroglyphic Monad”: a synthetic graphic figure at once summarizing and symbolizing the key forces operative in Nature. Dee said he discovered the Monas through “Platonic Remembrance,” and he claimed that its study would revolutionize the sciences. The most learned man in England, Dee authored both scientific and philosophical works, and he actively promoted the practical sciences of navigation and cartography in England – training many of those who would pilot England’s voyages of discovery. Dee’s high status as a scholar earned him the rank of some-time advisor and tutor to Queen Elizabeth, and by some accounts he was also her spymaster ( the original “007”, which purportedly was the “eyeglass” insignia used by Elizabeth in her secret communiqués to him). The Monas Hieroglyphica was highly regarded by the illuminati, and Queen Elizabeth herself is said to have been tutored in it by Dee. The Macclesfield copy (bound with a 1505 printing of Hermes Trismegistus) sold in 2005 for $70,400 (hammer price).

M’Lean, 1788 Exceptionally rare thick paper copy of Volume II of The Federalist, the seminal work on Ameri- can political theory and a cornerstone of American constitutional governance, called by Wright Howes “the most famous and influential American political work.” Only 500 copies of the first edition were printed, and the present copy is one of the exceptionally rare examples printed on thick superfine royal writing paper. These copies were advertised by publisher McLean in contemporary periodicals as the more upmarket version of this seminal document: “A few Copies will be printed on superfine royal writing paper, price ten shillings.” The importance of the Federalist to the early development of the great political experiment that was the United States cannot be overstated. The complete work comprised 85 political essays, all but the last 8 of which were first published in newspapers in New York, in an effort to convince New York to approve the Federalist Constitution. Alexander Hamilton wrote 51 of the essays, James Madison 14, and John Jay 5; the authorship of 15 of the essays is in dispute between Hamilton and Madi- son. They were all published under the pseudonym “Publius.” This copy with early ink notation

First Edition, First (and only) Printing. New York: Rolton House Publishers, 1963 The seldom seen Caroline Kennedy children’s book, which was slated for mass distribution at the same time when her father, President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated. “According to the printer, fewer than 1,000 test copies were printed. The launch date for the presentation of the book to the public was scheduled to be held on November 22, 1963 at Rizzoli’s. Obviously, the assassination brought an immediate halt to the project” from Guernsey’s catalogue description. In March 1998, Guernsey’s (in New York) offered what was then thought to be the only known copy, which went for $5000.00 in their Guernsey’s Auction of Kennedy Memorabilia. In this rare allowance, the Kennedy’s permitted Caroline to be commercialized and showcased in a book, showing the 6-year old in various historical dresses of the former U.S. Presidential First Ladies, as drawn by Charlotte Jetter. “The drawings are accompanied by descriptive narrations of the dresses which portray the styles worn in their respective eras. The book includes children’s poems about Caroline’s favorite dog and pony. Other poems include ‘The Twist’ and ‘The New Frontier.’ Author Arlene Dalton was a close friend of Jacqueline Kennedy who previously worked at Random House. Jacqueline took advantage of this opportunity to offer Arlene Dalton employment. In an attempt to procure a protective hold around her family, Jacqueline Kennedy involved herself at the highest level, personally supervising and approving every level of production, from publication to marketing. However, in an attempt to avoid any suggestion of Kennedy exploitation in this sensitive production, the book was written entirely independently and without any reference of Jacqueline Kennedy’s role” – from Guernsey’s description.

It has been labeled everything from dangerous to poisonous, including such connotative names as ‘dope,’ ‘wild,’ ‘boon to psychiatry,’ ‘Psychotic inductor.’ ‘pathway to schizophrenia,’ …and ‘narcotic.’… Its uses are varied. It has been used to temporarily induce some forms of mental disorders for the purpose of subjective and objective study; it has been used as a sedative for some forms of men- tal disorders; it has been used as an aid to various forms of religious experience and as a means of understanding. It has been used as a source of amusement by some, and because of this has been used time and time again as the object of anti-drug education…” A 1½x3” piece has been torn from the top right corner of the first page, but not affecting the body of text.

Page 40 THE FOUR BOOKS IN DUST JACKETS 140. Milne, A[lan] A[lexander]. ; Winnie-The-Pooh; ; . 4 volumes. Illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard. Original gilt decorated cloth, dust jackets. First Editions (When We Were Very Young is the second state, with page ‘ix’ numbered). London: Methuen, 1924, 26, 27, 28 Advertisement for the 1929 Christopher Robin calendar and ‘When We Were Very Young’ notepaper laid into The House at Pooh Corner. Inspired by stories made up to tell to his son, , the ‘Winnie the Pooh Books’ quickly established themselves amongst the cornerstones of children’s literature. Having been asked to provide some space fillers for Punch, these semi-fictitious accounts of his son’s doings were transformed to verse and augmented and printed under the running title When We Were Very Young. After a few appearances, the verses were expanded to fill a full page and an illustrator, Punch’s political cartoonist, E.H.Shepard was found. When Milne had what he felt to be enough verses to fill a small book, he approached his publisher, Methuen, who agreed with a reticence shown by the publication of only 5175 copies of the first edition. Success was instant and by the end of the year 43,000 copies of the book had been sold. Despite the success of his first book, it was with Milne’s second book, a continuation but this time in prose, and the formal introduction of the eponymous character, Winnie the Pooh (who appeared in essence in When We Were Very Young, but under the title of Edward Bear), that guaranteed Milne’s immortality as a children’s author. The tales of Pooh, and friends have been produced in 25 languages and sold 70 million copes since first publication, a figure that is still increasing at a rate of 500,000 copies a year. Some light chipping and soiling to jackets; spines leaning slightly; first title with previous owner’s name on front free endpaper; near fine in Lot 140 very good or better jackets. (7000/10000)

First Edition. Tokyo: Wunternaum Press, 1964 Rare first edition of Yoko Ono’s compilation of ‘event scores’. Often considered a Fluxus artwork, the work was in fact published by Ono’s own imprint, Wunternaum Press, in Tokyo. Event scores were intended to replace the physical work of art with instructions that an individual may wish to enact. For example: “City Piece. Walk all over the city with an empty baby carriage.” Event scores were developed by a number of artists attending John Cage’s Experimental Music Composition classes at the New School for Social Research in New York. While Ono did not attend these informal lessons, her husband at the time, Ichiyanagi Toshi (an experimental musician), did. Toshi and Ono became regulars of Cage’s circle of friends by 1959. The first edition contains over 150 works, virtually all are in English with about a third translated into Japanese. They are divided into five sections: Music, Painting, Event, Poetry and Object. Later editions included 80 additional works and two additional sections: Film and Dance. Quite rare, with no copies appearing in book auction records for at least 30 years and copies only rarely appearing in the trade. WorldCat locates only 5 copies within the United States.

This copy retains the original dedication to Shelley’s first wife, Harriet. At the time of publication, Shelley was separating from his wife Harriet and removed most of the dedication leaves prior to distribution.

Because of the subversive nature of its contents and by agreement with the printer Thomas Hookham, Shelley used his own name on the title-page and colophon. He then mutilated most of the copies he distributed by cutting out the two imprints to avoid prosecution. One of about 70 copies of the first issue from a total printing of 250 copies, the remaining 180 copies were issued by Richard Carlile shortly after Shelley’s death in 1822 with the preliminary material and closing imprint intact.
