Complete in four pages with the imprint recorded on the rear colophon. With no listing on ESTC and no appearances at auction a truly scarce piece. A unique opportunity to trace a string of direct argument-and-response publications rapidly produced within one year of the 17th century querelle des femme pamphlet wars. Brought together in one binding by solicitor and bibliophile Edward Hailstone whose remarkable library at Walton Hall included rare books and antiquities. The Querelle des Femmes the Woman Question was a debate on women's status that raged across Europe and England through the 16th to 18th century depicted at times in drama and literature but most often enacted through broadsides and pamphlets. While early iterations of the debate focused on whether women were humans or indeed possessed souls emphasis began shifting as an increasing number of women began printing responses of their own. In this collection's first pamphlet "Mary Want-man the fore-maid of the petitioners" the anonymous female author draws attention to the negative impacts that misogynist bolster lectures have had on the general state of matrimony. By labeling women as natural harlots predestined to cuckold their husbands the Petition alleges polemicists endangered women and men alike: the former would lack economic and legal security without a spouse and the former would turn to drink and debauchery. "Mary Want-man" in this sense turns the tables on the terms of the debate. Men are morally weak without a helpmeet and need wives -- and women are placed at social disadvantage by the rules that define them as men's companions. To this end the Petition sets out the demand that men be required to marry much as women have been and that they meet five terms: "First that all men of Quality and Degree soever shall be obliged to marry as soon as they are one and twenty and that those persons who decline so doing shall for their Liberty as they call it pay yearly to the State.Secondly that no Excuse shall be admitted but that of natural Frigidity or Impotence.Thirdly since it is found by experience that the generality of young men are such Idolators of the Bottle.that no person whatsoever shall be privileged to enter a Tavern who is not married.That every Poet or pretender to be a poet or anyone who is hired to write .to the derogation of the Matrimonial State shall be obliged to marry before Lady day ensuing.Lastly.every person of Quality pretending to keep a Miss.must dispose of her in Marriage to his Footman or Groom." Biting and witty this feminist satire suggests that men must be corralled and that marriage is the means by which to do it thus also ensuring stability for women. Soon after the "Bookselling Batchelors" engaged "Mary" with their own publication -- and in attempting to break down the Petition's satirical arguments An Humble Remonstrance relies on many of the misogynistic commonplaces that the Ladies decried. And in its conclusion Remonstrance teases the possibility that women were right about men's current debauched tendencies shifting The Petition's desire for social instability to one of bawdy fulfillment for men's benefit. "The Ladies are weary of lying alone and so are we: They would fain be advantageously married and so would your humble Servants. The Quarrel on their side is therefore unjustly begun.but because Jacob could serve two Apprenticeships for his Rachel they imagine that we must do the same; not considering that the Race of Methuselahs and Patriarchs is quite extinct." Unwilling to be outdone the women clap back; and a pamphleteer claiming to represent the interests of the region's Widows joins the printed fray. "Last week a petition subscribed by the unmarried Ladies came before you.Tis true we wondered to find an Army of Maids from whom the world usually expects modesty and silence.Widowes indeed who lye under no such restrictions are allowed to speak for themselves." Thus the Widows point out a crucial and problematic differentiation among women based on marital status: the division of the femme covert unmarried or married women with legal identities subsumed by fathers or husbands under coverture versus femme sole orphaned or widowed women with more independent legal and social status. To this end the widows recognize the need of the Maids to raise concerns about the issues most affecting them; while the more empowered widows can build on this foundation and push for a further expansion of rights. While the final pamphlet of the group is not a direct engagement with the others it does suggest the collector's own interest in the role alcohol plays in much of the behavior decried by women in these works. An opportunity unlikely to arise again for acquiring three incredibly scarce directly related arguments released only weeks apart. Various unknown books

Euclid; Anonymous; [Mercator, Nicolaus, editor?];Biblio.com

Euclidis elementa geometrica novo ordine ac methodo fere demonstrata :

166612956London: Typis T.R. impensis Joh. Martyn. Good with no dust jacket. 1666. First Edition Thus. Leather. viii 136 pp. 12 folding plates. A-F12. A small 12mo measuring 3" x 5" entirely in old calf with new-ish spine. Frontis plate showing 3 ancient scholars along with a modern fellow demonstrating geometrical shapes. This is an odd and scarce little first edition a new method of demonstrating Euclid's elements with an anonymous editor some have identified as Nicolaus Mercator. OCLC 1050145768 identifies Mercator as the editor ESTC R23875 does not. Mercator the German mathematician c1620-1687 did indeed write an extensive introduction to publisher John Martyn's 1678 second edition of this work. According to Malet it is "a simplified reorganized presentation of most of his results the reorganization also involves the axioms and common notions mostly aimed at practically teaching how to solve problems." It covers Books 1-6 and 11-12. A pre-publication 1665 review of the book said "In this compendious and pretty Edition the Anonymous Author pretends to have rendred these Elements more expeditious; by bringing all together into one place what belongs to one and the same subject." English mathematician John Collins wrote ".I met with a Cambridge Scholar who suggested that the small anonymous Jesuit's Euclid printed by Mr. Martyn was now in good request among tutors and their scholars there that they wanted the like for arithmetic and algebra." Beeley BJHS 2019. We haven't been able to determine exactly why this work was known as the "Jesuit's Euclid" except that the Jesuits who taught Euclidean geometry as standard part of the curriculum may have appreciated this condensed no-nonsense version and adopted it for their classrooms. While it may have been popular in the mid-1600s it is now quite scarce with no copies currently for sale and no auction records for this first edition only 3 for the 1678 second edition and those over 50 years ago. ESTC records only 25 copies of the first edition in libraries 14 in the UK and 11 in the US. Condition is good. Original leather boards have some age but are clean and intact new spine done a while ago. Original endpapers appear to have been laid down older cloth strengthening at the gutters. The frontis has a small ink splotch on it's back the title has a ghost impression of the frontis along with at least 2 owner inscriptions one indicating that the book was in the possession of a Benedictin order at some point. The bottom of B12 has a short lack. The folding tables at the rear are out of order and table 1 is labeled table 2 but there are 12 different tables. #10 is separating at the fold. Some small normal toning throughout and signs of use but an intact copy in nice condition of this quite scarce little work. ; Engravings; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 136 pages . Typis T.R. impensis Joh.

1690739Paris: Paris Chez Antoine Dezallier 1690 1690. First Edition. 12mo. First edition. xxv26151pp.Bound in contemporary calf. 405J Baillet was from 1680 to his death librarian to M. de Lamoignon advocat-general to the parlement of Paris of whose library he produced a manuscript catalogue raisonné in 35 folio volumes. It seems ironic that one should need to cosult Barbier to discover the author of this pioneering work but the effort is rewarding for here we read that - Cet ouvrage était le premier publié en France sur ce genre de recherches bibliographiques. The subject is approached from various angles the psychology of pseudonymity the various types of cognomes etc. This was a preliminary treatise which should have been followed by a Recueil des Auteurs Déguisés but unfortunately the author died in 1706 leaving his work unfinished and it was not for another 100 years with the publication of Barbier's Dictionnaire des Ouvrages Anonymes in 1806 that the project was finally completed. In his preface Barbier pays eloquent tribute to the erudition of his predecessor. "In 1690 Adrien Baillet 1649 - 1706 published his Auteurs deguisez. A list of nearly 1700 identifications of pseudonyms accompanied this extensive and very interesting discussion. Unconsciously Baillet adopted in this list a new procedure that has had many imitators. Aprosio's Visiera alzata and Baillet's Auteurs deguisez are the first great contributions to the study of cryptonyms by librarians." Taylor & Mosher The Bibliographical History of Anonyma and Pseudonyma pp. 115-116. Baillet was librarian to M. de Lamoignon avocat général of the Parlement de Paris. Baillet's bibliographical activities left him no time to change his clothes or to eat more than one meal a day. "Des auteurs déguisés" 1690; "Des enfants célèbres" 1688. With the exception of the last which still attracts by its curiousness these books are now almost forgotten both because they are incomplete and because they have been more than replaced by the works of such writers as Brunet Querard Barbier etc. Baillet's criticisms were not accepted by all.
