AN IMPORTANT EXAMPLE OF AMERICAN COLOR PRINTING. Two volumes, complete. A remarkable catalogue of a remarkable collection. Odell focused on bibliography, books about books, history of printing and the graphic arts, and fine printing, at a time when few American collectors were interested in these areas. Books in these categories account for well over half of the 2,434 lots. There is also a wide selection of extremely rare books in other areas, especially the occult, including incunables and a few highly important medieval manuscripts. The catalogue itself is notable for two reasons. First, there are the precise, knowledgeable, and extensive descriptions, with numerous references to specialized bibliographies: most American book catalogues of this period give the barest information about the items at hand. Second, this is certainly the most lavishly-produced American book auction catalogue of the 19th century. It was beautifully printed on fine laid paper, with numerous engraved initials, headpieces, and tailpieces. VOLUME I OF THE PRESENT SET IS FROM THE DELUXE ISSUE, ONE OF VERY FEW COPIES PRINTED PRIMARILY FOR PRIVATE CIRCULATION, with the initials, headpieces, and tailpieces printed in different colors. The sets of this deluxe issue that reached the market were sold for $10 each, a colossal price when we consider that lot 1462, a copy of Bodoni's 1818 Manuale Tipografico, sold for $4.50! Volume II is from the regular issue, and is NEATLY PRICED THROUGHOUT in a contemporary hand. Title-pages printed in red and black. Facsimiles. 4to. Volume I is ABSOLUTELY PRISTINE, uncut, unopened, unsewn, unstabbed, and unglued, loosely laid into original wraps (light soiling to wraps). Volume II in bound in half leather and marbled boards, with original wraps bound in (binding somewhat worn at extremities). Both volumes internally FINE, AND BRIGHT. Complete sets are extremely rare (volume II is especially scarce). Not in Bigmore & Wyman or Taylor.

Erste Ausgabe dieser Leichenrede auf Garcia de' Medici, verfaßt vom bedeutenden Florentiner Humanisten Leonardo Salviati (1540-89), Mitbegründer der Accademia della Crusca und Apologet eines reinen Toskanisch als moderne Literatursprache.

Am Schluß der vorliegenden Rede (gewidmet Giulio de' Medici) finden sich ein Sonett Salviatis auf Benedetto Varchi sowie ein Erwiderungssonett desselben auf den Verfasser. Der Humanist Varchi (1502-65) zählte ebenfalls zum Freundeskreis um Michelangelo und sollte nach seinem Tod gleichfalls mit einer Trauerrede Salviatis bedacht werden. - Etwas braunfleckig und im oberen Bug auch leicht wasserrandig. Die erste Initiale ("N") fälschlich kopfstehend eingedruckt. Offenbar aus altem Sammelband hervorgenommen; durchgehend von zeitgenöss. Hand foliiert (305-312). Adams S 212. Edit 16, CNCE 52440.

Lex. Lit., p. 254). - Light browning and staining (more pronounced in first and last leaf). A few contemporary annotations. VD 16, T 768. Hoffmann I, 495. Graesse VI.2, 118. OCLC 54244694.

"A Jesuit, Pardies deserves a place in the history of physics for having intervened in the debate on the ideas of Newton and Huygens at certain decisive moments. His work, which is not extensive, is characteristic of a traditional period..... Although Pardies did not have the time to devote the full measure of his abilities to science, he was undoubtedly one of those vigorous intellects that science always needs.... His notions, as bold as they were n?ive, purported to demonstrate the spirituality of the soul by virtue of its capacity to understand the infinite through the 'clear and distinct ideas' of certain geometric arguments." - DSB.

18295234New York: New York Protestant Episcopal Press 1829. Very good. Broadside 10.5 x 9 inches. Old folds foxing creasing and toning with substantial but irregularly-trimmed margins. An unrecorded New York broadside advertising the opening of the New York Protestant Episcopal Press NYPEP and related activities at No. 46 Lumber Street in New York City in 1829. The text states that "PRINTING of every description will be executed for Churches Bible and Common Prayer-Book Societies Tract Societies Missionary or Education Societies and all other religious institutions of the Protestant Episcopal Church at the lowest rates and in the best manner" and that the new establishment will "also be the publication office of The Family Visiter and Sunday School Magazine; and of The Children's Magazine." The text also includes notes about the business of the organization as well as notices to "Booksellers who are members of the Protestant Episcopal Church" and "secretaries of religious and charitable associations." In addition to their printing and binding work the broadside states that the NYPEP will take charge of the depositories of five New York institutions -- the General Protestant Episcopal Sunday Union the New York Bible and Common Prayer-Book Society the Auxiliary New York Bible and Common Prayer-Book Society the New York Protestant Episcopal Tract Society and the New York Protestant Episcopal Sunday School Society. The bottom half of the broadside is taken up with a listing of the organization's Board of Trustees "Other Managers" the general agent book-keeper printer William Van Norden and binder Christian Brown along with a postscript with details on various forthcoming publications by the press. William Van Norden was a prolific printer in New York in the first half of the 19th century producing more than just religious works. He printed the collected works of Benjamin Franklin Hannah Moore's memoir and the Proceedings of the New York Historical Society among many other works and later helped produce The National Portrait Gallery of Distinguished Americans.
