James Reese Europe 1881â€“1919 was a composer and bandleader instrumental in the transition from ragtime to jazz whose popularity and influence is impossible to overstate. He conducted the Clef Club Orchestra in New York City which only played music by African-American composers and was the first Black orchestra to perform at Carnegie Hall. Europeâ€™s Society Orchestra toured the country with dancers Vernon and Irene Castle popularizing ragtime dancing. In 1916 Europe enlisted with the 369th Infantry Regiment also known as the Harlem Hellfighters a primarily Black regiment that became one of the most highly decorated American units in World War I. Europe was a second lieutenant and led the Hellfighters Band which toured France in 1818 and is credited with bringing jazz to the continent of Europe. James Europe died in Boston in 1919 when a member of his band taking issue with Europeâ€™s criticism stabbed him in the neck during the intermission of a concert at Mechanics Hall.

Poetical Sketches. By W.B.

178353851783. London: Printed in the Year 1783. London: Noel Douglas 1926. 8vo original paper over boards. Very good. § Trade edition of this handsome facsimile of the very rare original edition of 1783. Bentley 132. "The original 1783 copies were seventy-two pages in length printed in octavo by John Flaxman's aunt who owned a small print shop in the Strand and paid for by Anthony Stephen Mathew and his wife Harriet dilettantes to whom Blake had been introduced by Flaxman in early 1783. Each individual copy was hand-stitched with a grey back and a blue cover reading "POETICAL SKETCHES by W.B." It was printed without a table of contents and many pages were without half titles. Of the extant copies eleven contain corrections in Blake's handwriting. Poetical Sketches is one of only two works by Blake to be printed conventionally with typesetting; the only other extant work is The French Revolution in 1791 which was to be published by Joseph Johnson. However it never got beyond the proof copy and was thus not actually published. Even given the modest standards by which the book was published it was something of a failure. Alexander Gilchrist noted that the publication contained several obvious misreadings and numerous errors in punctuation suggesting that it was printed with little care and was not proofread by Blake thus the numerous handwritten corrections in printed copies. Gilchrist also notes that it was never mentioned in the Monthly Review even in the magazine's index of "Books noticed" which listed every book published in London each month signifying that the publication of the book had gone virtually unnoticed. Nevertheless Blake himself was proud enough of the volume that he was still giving copies to friends as late as 1808 and when he died several unstitched copies were found amongst his belongings."
