Susio's Rare Attack on Duelling: One Copy in the Last 30 Years. An important and beautifully printed attack on the practice of duelling which has become quite rare on the market whereas the second edition of 1558 shows up with some frequency. Thimm who had never seen a copy himself refers to one in "Captain Hutton's Collection" and calls for a folding plate -- in obvious error for among the 10 copies located by OCLC in institutions not one contains any plates; nor did the one dampstained copy which appeared at auction in 1996 and which was mistakenly presumed to be incomplete. <br/>Susio 1519-1583 Renaissance man of letters eminent physician humanist and poet dedicates his book to Henry II King of France who passed an ordinance against duelling. The subject of duelling and its legal ethical and social implications was a hot one in the latter half of 16th century Italy and Susio's work is among the most important of several to appear in his day Mutio il Duello 1550; Attendolo il Duello 1560; Pigna Il Duello 1560; Gallese Contra l' uso del duello 1565; et al.; and the Venetian house of the Giolito family seems to have printed many of them including this. A very desirable copy of a rare and important book on the subject. Thimm p. 280 mistakenly calling for frontispiece; Levi & Geli not in Adams; not in Brunet Apresso G.

194089451940. 1 vols. One full red calf corporate ledger titled "Yachting Incorporated"; one green cloth stock ledger with the remains of a Yachting label on the upper cover; two green cloth books of stock certificates each labeled "Yachting Incorporated Preferred Stock" and one such book labeled "Yachting Incorporated Common Stock"; a similar book of stock certificates of Kennedy Brothers Incorporated; two appointment books with tide tables for 1937 and 1938; and a brown expanding legal-size folder of documents. 1 vols. An Archive Concerning Yachting Magazine. John C. Kennedy was successively treasurer then president of Yachting Inc. publishers of Yachting Magazine and retained this archive after the magazine changed hands in the late 1930s. Included in this material are the corporate records of the Kelmo Corporation into which Yachting Inc. was merged in 1924 it later separated and was re-merged in 1940 records of the Yachting Board of Directors' meetings primarily concerning financing and including the meeting agreeing to sell all the capital stock to Kennedy; the actual books of issued and unissued common and preferred stock certificates of Yachting Inc. a book of shares of common stock of Kennedy Brothers Incorporated transferring Yachting stock to the Kennedys; the original 1923 signed option agreement by which Yachting's owners transferred for $40000 the total outstanding stock common and preferred and the actual stock certificates themselves and the original agreement of Oswald Garrison Villard conferring for $15000 his title and interest in the magazine--name records and other assets; Yachting's corporate income tax returns for 1927 and 1933 and some later tax and real estate correspondence; a lengthy Price Waterhouse report concerning the history and financial condition of Yachting as of January 1924 and a less encouraging special balance sheet and P&L for 1933; a 1933 recapitulation of book sales; and balance sheets and stock certificates of related companies. <br/> <br/> Also included are two 4 x 7" black leatherette books "Tide Tables and Daily Log" for l937 and 1938 in which John C. Kennedy has recorded his daily activities from July 7 l937 thru December 31 1938. Of particular interest are the efforts made in the fall of 1937 to interest Roy E. Larsen of Time Inc. in the purchase of Yachting Magazine by Time--a proposition which Larsen declined. The entries for 1938 deal mostly with Kennedy's growing financial worries and the decline of his sister's and his own health: it comes as a shock to learn that the author of these almost unbearably poignant entries was only 50 years old. On June 28 Kennedy reports the transfer "which took away my last of Yachting after 15 yrs." <br/><br/> In addition the archive contains the original certification of the familiar "Yachting" logo as a U.S. trade-mark registered June 3 1924; the original certificate registering the same in Canada dated January 20 1925; the unsigned carbon of a 1935 deposition by John C. Kennedy with accompanying schedule showing Yachting Inc.'s stock portfolio at the time of its sale in 1933 at a loss of $144000; the magazine's copy of a signed agreement to publish "The Model Yacht" by John O. Berg; a corrected draft of a document changing the corporate name of Yachting Inc. to Kelmo Corporation dated October 26 1939; 5 insurance policies with photostats of applications on the life of John C. Kennedy; his U.S. passport issued 1924; his autograph 2-pp enumeration of property to be divided among the heirs of his mother along with photographs and correspondence concerning her grave; and other papers including his agreement to lease from Jules S. Bache his 112-ft. diesel yacht "Colmena" for July and August 1931 for $13500--a unique souvenir of happier days. Altogether an archive of engrossing interest for the business and sporting historian alike. unknown books

Catch included barracuda pompano and shark. Authorship of the presidential logs has always been something of a puzzle as Halter notes. The present Log was compiled in Washington by "Pa" evidently not one of the members of the party for the Epilogue contains a memo to "Pa" dated 4 June 1938 at the White House "You will please 'muse' ." and is signed in type "F.D.R." The authorship of this log can be assigned to Maj. Gen. Edwin L. Watson a military aide to FDR on the basis of the log for the December 1940 cruise of the Tuscaloosa where "Pa" was a member of the party and celebrated his 57th birthday.

The very scarce printed memorial printed on board the ship of FDR's Third Presidential Cruise on the USS Houston from the July 14 to August 9 1938 on his way to the Galapagos Islands FDR was the first U.S. President to visit them. In the introduction to the booklet one of the editors records that "Shortly after the cruise commenced certain members of the Houston personnel conceived the idea of publishing a book which would relate graphically all of the interesting incidents happening on board our ship . We trust that the following pages will keep alive fond memories of a happy cruise with as grand a shipmate it has ever been our privilege to meet." There are numerous photos of Roosevelt with the crew and the Presidential party shots of the Galapagos and its strange fauna and a good deal of wit and raillery in the text and photos directed toward the "pollywogs" on the part of the "shellbacks" in anticipation of the approaching traditional ceremony of "crossing the line." The ship called at Cocos Island and the log records successful sport fishing for sailfish in those waters. The U.S.S. Houston was sunk during the war. A wonderfully light-hearted and very scarce piece for the FDR collector at a time when the clouds of a world war were gathering on the horizon.
