Potter 81; Paas 4120. ◆Binding with half a dozen small yellow stains spine lightly soiled label with a couple small scratches plates with light speckled gray strip at leaf edges from printing process otherwise quite pleasing--very fresh internally printed on high quality paper and in a solid scarcely worn binding without any of the usual splaying that vellum invites.<br/> <br/> This is limited edition facsimile of an original manuscript illuminated and written out by Alberto Sangorski and illustrated by Ewan Geddes based on FitzGerald's enduringly popular translation of Omar Khayyam. It is a very attractive and well-preserved facsimile of the fine work produced by Sangorski & Sutcliffe when the firm was at the top of their game. After studying under and then working for Douglas Cockerell Francis Sangorski and George Sutcliffe founded their own bindery in 1901 and continued in a successful partnership until 1912. During that year the firm suffered three major blows: their famously splendid jewelled binding dubbed the "Great Omar" was lost on the Titanic; a few weeks after this accident Francis himself drowned; and Francis' brother Alberto who had been a central figure in producing the firm's vellum illuminated manuscripts went over to Riviere. Despite these losses the firm grew and prospered employing a staff of 80 by the mid-1920s and becoming perhaps the most successful English bindery of the 20th century. Though he was best known for his watercolor scenes of rural and winter landscapes Scottish artist Ewan Geddes 1866-1935 abandons his usual restrained palette in this collaboration with Sangorski & Sutcliffe employing instead a colorful array of paints that capture the warmth and sensuous lyricism of the text.

194128255Croton-on-Hudson 1941. Brief 1-pp TLS on Eastman's personal Croton-On-Hudson letterhead addressed to a "Mr. Simon" dated November 14 1941. Single holograph correction in Eastman's hand. Mailing folds; slightly toned at margins; Very Good. Regarding the recipient's letter to the Reader's Digest of September 24 Eastman had been hired as an editor for the conservative publication earlier in the same year. The subject appears to be the institution of the death penalty in the Soviet Union: ".Nobody questions the fact that the death penalty was decreed for theft of 'socialist property' and the extension of all penalties to children twelve years old automatically extends that one. I am sorry to say I can not tell you offhand when the previous decree was issued but I think it was the Spring of 1934. unknown

"I shall be delighted to have you use some of my poems in your Verse Speaking Festival.perhaps the poem called "Battle Fields" in my volume "Kinds of Love" would be appropriate."

194528254New York 1945. Brief TNS on Eastman's personal W. 13th St. letterhead addressed to "Josephine" dated November 25 1945. Old folds else Fine with bright clear autograph: "Dear Josephine: Thanks so much for the news -- sad as it all was -- in your letter. It was nice to hear from you. I hope the autobiography may live up to your expectations." The recipient is likely the American proletarian novelist and essayist Josephine Herbst 1892-1969; the "sad news" to which Eastman refers may well have been Herbst's ongoing battles with her former husband and fellow novelist John Herrmann. unknown

11836March 1930. 7pp. 4to. Attached with a brass stud. The six pages of the catalogue are in fair condition on aged paper the title leaf is dusty and spotted. The manuscripts listed in this catalogue are primarily of a political and diplomatic nature. They do not appear to correspond with those in the 'Hinchingbrooke Collecton' listed by Cambridgeshire County Record Office on the National Archives website an entry which gives a useful account of their origins mainly the stables at Hinchingbrooke. The first entry in the present list is 'Rules & minutes of the Divan Club' founded by the Earl of Sandwich and Francis Dashwood in 1744. The next entry is 'Private letters from Ministers & friends to the Earl of Sandwich during negotiations at Breda etc. 1747-1748.' Interesting items include: 'Secret memorial by Samuel Engel Esq. concerning certain discoveries & settlements North East of Asia & North West of America. 1773.' 'Collection of letters &c. that passed between Duke of Cumberland Duke of Newcastle & Earl of Sandwich and H.S.H. The Prince of Orange Count Bentinck &c. 1748.' 'Letters & other papers from Arthur Villettes Esq. to the King of Sardinia Lt. Gen. Wentworth & Lt. Gen. St. Clair to the Earl of Sandwich. 1748.' and 'Collection of Private Letters from the Earl of Sandwich to the Duke of Cumberland Duke of Chesterfield Duke of Bedford Henry Pelham Esq the Lord Chancellor & Lord Anson. 1747-48.'

18841574Habana 1884. Good plus. 2496 i.e. 498pp. Quarto. Contemporary calf gilt a.e.g.; rebacked with original spine laid down. Corners repaired with later black buckram; boards scuffed spine chipped. Hinges cracked repaired with later cloth and renewed endpapers. Minor scattered foxing and toning to text. Accomplished in a neat highly legible hand. A very attractive manuscript translation into Spanish of Pierre Larousse's well-known work on eminent and historical personages Fleurs Historiques des Dames et des Gens du Monde in a contemporary Cuban gilt goatskin binding. The manuscript connects three figures in the upper social echelons of Cuban society. José Fernandez Pellon the scribe of this volume is recorded as the Grand Master of Cuba's freemasons lodge the Gran Logia Unida de Colón y la Isla de Cuba. The translator Aurelio Almeida helped to found the organization in 1875 and at this time served as the Lodge Secretary. The initials E.D. gilt at the foot of the spine and the dedicatory inscription "A Eugenia Desvernine" refer to Eugenia Desvernine y Galdós b. 1865 daughter of the famous Cuban pianist Pablo Desvernine and Carolina Galdós y Echániz. She was also the niece of Benito Pérez Galdós the Spanish realist novelist who some authorities consider only second in stature to Cervantes. A contemporary social register remarks that Eugenia was one of the most beautiful women in Cuba perhaps an inspiration for the painstaking production of this manuscript.<br /> <br /> The original work by Larousse was a loose collection of religious parables classical myths biographies of ancient and modern historical figures. The title of the manuscript advises that is an extract and in the brief introduction Almeida explains his selection process writing that "He suprimido algunos artículos sobre cosas muy sabidas de la historia sagrada; y otros sobre la de Francia que mencionan frases ó personas casi ninca citadas ó citades solamente por las escritores francesas." He also notes several alterations and additions more relevant to Spanish history saying "En Cambio he agregado algunos artículos sobre historia de España que no están en el original y he tomado unos pocos de otra obra del mismo Mr. Larousse y de libros diversos." The result is an original amalgam of biographies historical episodes and religious parables. Interestingly we find no recorded printed editions of Larousse's work in Spanish so that the present manuscript is also an entirely original work of translation. A fascinating product of the cultural interests and mores of Cuban high society near the end of the Spanish colonial period. unknown

1573393 manuscript volumes neatly written in black and red ink. Original wrappers with later string ties. Wrappers damaged with a little loss in places. Some worming. Still overall very good. 19 x 13.5cm. These three volumes are a collection of manuscripts written in the late Edo period probably the 1860s. Most of the original documents on which the manuscripts were based were written shortly after the arrival of the American delegation led by Commodore Matthew Perry in July 8 1853 June 3 in Japanese calendar. These documents written in the face of this national crisis were mostly driven by the patriotic fervour of the authors. They show a variety of thoughts about the threat from the foreign powers. None of these were published at the time and only Watanabe Kazan’s Shinki-ron was published in modern times. <br> <br>Kazan wrote his treatise inspired not by the arrival of Perry but by the Edo government’s hostile treatment of the American merchant ship Morrison in 1837. <br> <br>Titles and short synopses of these works follow: <br> <br>Volume 1: Chiyoda mondō Questions and Answers in Chiyoda 千代田問答 1853; Momijiyama shinrei-ki紅葉山神靈記 Message from the Holy Spirit in Momijiyama <br> <br>The author of Chiyoda mondō is unknown. The word "Chiyoda" in Chiyoda mondō is the name of the area where the Edo Castle sat and refers to the god in the Tōshōgū Shrine in Momijiyama next to the western part of the Edo Castle. This document is difficult to read but it appears to explain how a group of mysterious people or possibly divine spirits tell stories related to Japan's national affairs in 1853 discussing the country's national defence against foreigners and the situation regarding Christianity. <br> <br>In Momijiyama shinrei-ki the anonymous author who was an attendant to the group of the high government officials visiting the Tōshōgū Shrine in Momijiyama fell asleep and in his dream a Holy Spirit appeared and told him the necessity of enhancing the coastal defence in the face of the American expansion. <br> <br>Volume 2: Daimyō shoka kengi 大名諸家建議 Proposals from War Lords and Various People <br> <br>This manuscript is a collection of proposals and opinions expressed by Daimyō war lords and the retainers of the Edo government on the subject of Japan's foreign policy after the arrival of the American delegation led by Commodore Perry which requested trade with Japan. The Daimyō discuss how to deal with the crisis in terms of such issues as trade and coastal defence. Some even proposed possible war with the American fleet. The daimyo some of whom were high-rank officials of the Edo government included Shimadu Nariakira島津斉彬 1809-58 Maeda Nariyasu 前田斉泰 1811-84 Matsudaira Shungaku 松平春嶽 1928-90 Tokugawa Yoshinobu 徳川慶喜 1837-1913 Ii Naosuke 井伊直弼 1815-60 Nabeshima Naomasa 鍋島直正 1815-71 and the retainers included Inoue Saburōemon 井上三郎右衛門 - and Katsu Rinsuke 勝麟助 1823-99. Katsu became a capable mediator when the Edo castle was surrendered peacefully to the new Meiji government in 1868. <br> <br>Volume 3: 海防備言 Kaibō bigen Words on Coastal Defence. Habu Kumagorō 土生熊五郎- Rifujutsui 嫠不恤緯 Widow Does Not Worry the Shortage of Weft the latter a Chinese expression referring to strong patriotism; Watanabe Kazan 渡辺崋山 1793-1841 Shinki-ron愼機論 Essay on Attention to an Opportunity 1838; Hakura Morochika羽倉用九 1790-1862 Gakaisho 畫灰書 Drawing in Ash and Gasuisho畫水書 Drawing in Water 1854; Fujimori Kōan 藤森弘庵 1799-1862 Kaibō biron 海防 備論Treatise on Coastal Defence 1853 <br> <br>Habu Kumagorō was a Confucian scholar in Wakayama. He proposed the developing the land of Ezo 蝦夷 Hokkaido. Rifujutsui discusses such topics as the advance of the Russians to Siberia and the necessity of developing Hokkaido as well as the art of war. <br> <br>Watanabe Kazan was a chief retainer of the Tahara Domain eastern part of present Aichi Prefecture Confucian scholar and also famous as a painter. Shinki-ron criticises the xenophobic foreign policy of the Edo government. <br> <br>Hakura Morochika was a Confucian scholar in Osaka. After the arrival of Perry he discussed the measures against foreign enemies. In Gakaisho a collection of historical essays Hakura objected to trade with America in the form of an answer to the sovereign message from America seeking trade with Japan. He also wrote an answer to the sovereign message from Russia but he was more sympathetic to the Russians because they sought trade through the official channel in Nagasaki while the American delegate in the military fleet came to Uraga in a threatening manner. In Gasuisho also Hakura mentions the harmful effects of Christianity. <br> <br>Fujimori Kōan was a Confucian scholar of the Ono Domain in present Ono City Hyogo Prefecture. In his later life he opened a private school in Edo and wrote the comprehensive treatise on Japanese coastal defence Kaibō biron after the arrival of Perry. . unknown
