191411263London: G.W. Bacon & Co 1914. 530 by 705mm. 20.75 by 27.75 inches. Chromolithographed map laid on wood cut into a jigsaw housed in original box small piece missing upper right. An humorous serio-comic map of Europe in jigsaw form showing a satirical depiction of the beginning of the First World War. The principal combatants are portrayed in canine form: a British bulldog French poodle German dachshund and an Austro-Hungarian mongrel. The Royal Navy is controlled by John Bull in the costume of a Jack Tar. To the left Russia is portrayed as a steamroller driven by the Tsar who has already trapped the tail of the Austrian mongrel and threatens to crush all before him. The mongrel is also being stung by a Serbian hornet and is leashed to the German dachshund who is having his nose bitten by the British bulldog. Below the fighting dogs lies Italy as a soldier with gun in hand deciding which side to join. To the right Greece stares menacingly with dagger drawn at the Ottoman Empire who holds the gateway to the Black Sea in one hand and German ships in the other. A German dachshund puppy sits behind him on a leash sporting a fez a reference to the 1914 Ottoman-German Alliance. There is an extensive note at the bottom outlining the events leading up to the beginning of the war and concluding defiantly "Peace has gone to the Dogs for the present - until a satisfactory muzzle has been found for that Dachshund." The note is by Walter Emanuel 1869-1915 a regular writer for the satirical magazine Punch. The artist responsible for the piece is unknown. Emanuel was known for his anthropomorphic books about dogs produced in collaboration with the artist Cecil Aldin including 'The Dogs of War' 1906. Although the title is similar to the present work this was in fact the biography of a Norfolk spaniel. G.W. Bacon & Co, unknown
19562330Place of Publication Not Identified: Publisher Not Identified 1956. <br /><br />Octavo 8 5/8 x 4 7/8 inches; 213 x 97 mm 14 pages in stapled wrappers. <br /><br />Lurid antisemitic pamphlet that begins "Are the Methodists teaching Judaism instead of Christianity" The pamphlet goes on to give excerpts from Jewish and Methodist publications in an attempt to show the Methodists are teaching from the Talmud which supposedly promotes communism. These excerpts are interspersed with sarcastic commentary such as referring to the Anti-Defamation League as the "secret police" of the American Jewish Committee. <br /><br />The author also attacks the NAACP saying it's not led by a "Negro" but by "a revolutionary New York Jew." Moreover we're told that "documented information" links Zionism with "the World Communist conspiracy." The author also has a thing against universal brotherhood: "The creed of those who sponsor this program is to eliminate all personal freedom and the sovereignty of nations including America in favor of a Jewish world social order." <br /><br />We estimate the publication date of the pamphlet to be 1956 or thereabouts since that's the latest year shown in the various excerpts published here. We have not been able to identify an author or group issuing this pamphlet. Perhaps an interesting research project for scholars of antisemitism or anticommunism. <br /><br />OCLC shows only five institutional holdings of this pamphlet: Michigan State Samford New York Public Library Abilene Christian and the Wisconsin Historical Society.

1879140948304no place: no publisher 1879. Near Fine. An exquisitely compiled herbarium of over 1000 plants native to Europe collected over the course of one year meticulously chronicling the flora's growth throughout the seasons. Approximately 1051 specimens of all manner of flora mounted on 104 sheets further mounted onto leaves some with exact collection dates almost all specimens have been identified in their Latin name except the last 113. At the head of each leaf are sequential month and year. Bound in modern quarter tan calf over green cloth with five raised bands and green leather spine label lettered in gilt; fern patterned end papers. 11 x 17". Folio. Near Fine with only small ratio of loss to specimens 17 to be precise with some breakage to a few leaves and stems. Offsetting from specimens and some wear to edges. <p>A massive assemblage collected by an unidentified fervent botanist over the course of an entire year. The book begins in December 1878 with seasonally humble speedwells white dead nettles and catkins. Slowly but surely winter melts away in the collector's environment and tender spring ephemerals like snowdrops blood root and hellebore are presented with clear excitement. The specimens truly become vivacious in the warmer seasons between May and June where it seems pages are stacked almost artistically with perfectly preserved flag iris large stalks of horsetail bright examples of thistles and spindly tufts of wheat. It seems that toward the end perhaps exhausted after weeks of collecting in the summer heat specimens assembled in the colder months of October and November are more hastily affixed and without species name below. A particularly attractive herbarium that is well-preserved and lovingly assembled. [no publisher] unknown

14306London Publish’d Boston Republish’d by W. Norman 1801. . 18 leaves 18mo 5½ x 3½ inches comprising engraved frontispiece engraved title a leaf of letterpress text 12 leaves of engraved hierogylphs on the 12 subjects a leaf of letterpress text and two blank leaves the blank recto of the frontispiece and the final blank leaf pasted to the original embossed colored wrappers as issued some early and neat hand-coloring; a well-used and soiled copy with two clean tears repaired and two hieroglyphic leaves "Modesty" and "Knowledge" with corners torn away but with loss only of the line borders the plates for "Religion" and "Curiosity" less fully inked than the others but all readable. Expertly restored and resewn in the original embossed and colored wrappers. Three early ownership inscriptions: "E. Weston" this lined through on the title-page and replaced with "George Appleton’s 1804" or possibly "1809" and on the blank verso of the title a large and calligraphic signature "Nathaniel Thomas". First and apparently the only American edition. The Boston publisher William Norman also published an edition of the New Hieroglyphic Bible in 1794 which was successful enough for him to reprint or reissue it in 1796. Doubtless that success inspired him to produce the present Hieroglyphic Amusement which had been published in London by John Wallis as a set of twelve engraved cards accompanied by a small printed booklet in 1791. Jill Shefrin mentions the Wallis publication in her Make it a Pleasure and not a Task: Educational Games for Children in Georgian England: Princeton University Library Chronicle 60 1999. Wallis published several sets of rebus cards: in 1791 a set of twelve cards entitled Hieroglyphic Amusements. . . . The passage on Education recalls Locke: "As the young plant groweth as it is bent. . . so is a young child in the hands of the mother. - Trust not a man-servant with the education of thy son nor a maidservant with the education of thy daughter." This American publication is even rarer than sets of the London cards. There are two copies in OCLC AAS and Peabody Essex. The Peabody Essex library catalogue entry gives "4 pages 12 leaves" i.e. 14 leaves: is their copy complete; the American Antiquarian Society copy is backlogged for cataloguing.
