199049189New York: Battledore Ltd 1990. hardcover. Carroll Lewis. 6 x 9 inches. hardcover. 111 pages. Collectors and those interested in children's books will find this work fascinating as it unearths information about the first actual printing of Alice in Wonderland. Encouraged by his friends Reverend Charles Dodgson otherwise known as Lewis Carroll first had Alice published by Macmillan & Co. and printed by the Clarendon Press in June 1865 arranging to have a specially bound copy delivered to Alice Liddell the famous Alice for whom the story was spun the next month on July 4. However not several weeks after that John Tenniel the illustrator wrote to Dodgson complaining of his dissatisfaction with the printing of his illustrations. Macmillan examined one of the unbound copies of the book and agreed to fully reprint the book using a more commercial printer from London Richard Clay. The condemned printing was then sold to David Appleton & Co. an overseas publishing house who wanted to distribute copies of the book in America. Only 1952 copies were sold to them of the original 2000 copy print run. The title-pages were redone with a New York imprint dated 1866 the sheets were machine-folded and put into cloth bindings with Appleton's name on the lower spine and the new title-page substituted on a stub for the earlier one. Meanwile Macmillan completed its new edition in November 1865 but post-dated this printing 1866 in time for the holidays. As of this writing twenty-two copies of the original 1865 Alice are located and known to have survived with their original title-pages plus one copy presented to Christ Church Library currently lost by the author. This work resolves the whereabouts of Macmillan's file copy and hopefully provides a framework for future research. An excellent book which contains a wealth of information about the publication of Alice in Wonderland. Well-illustrated throughout. Battledore Ltd unknown books

Frances Anne Kemble's 'Journal of a Residence on a Georgian Plantation in 1838-1839' has long been recognized by historians as unique in the literature of American slavery and invaluable for obtaining a clear view of the 'peculiar institution' and of life in the antebellum South. Fanny Kemble was one of the leading lights of the English stage in the nineteenth century. During a tour of America in the 1830s she met and married a wealthy Philadelphian Pierce Butler part of whose fortune derived from his family's vast cotton and rice plantation on the Sea Islands of Georgia. After their marriage she spent several months living on the plantation. Profoundly shocked by what she saw she recorded her observations of plantation life in a series of journal entries written as letters to a friend. But she never sent the letters and not until the Civil War was on and Fanny was divorced from Pierce Butler and living in England were they published. Kemble followed the success of these letters with the publication of a volume of plays translated from the German of Friedrich Schiller and the French of Alexandre Dumas.

182042714n. p. 1820. White laid paper black printing.German-language text. Light creasing to top edge; minor foxing; small loss to heading minimally affecting one letter; light center fold line. VG. Broadside printed recto only. 14-1/4" x 8-1/2" <br/><br/>Playbill for a performance on Thursday September 28 1820 at an unnamed playhouse possibly the Frankfurt City Theatre. The star-crossed lovers were played by Herr Becker and Demoiselle Lindner both of whom appear in that theatre's records for other plays. The playbill lists box office times and locations cost differences for the various areas of seating the starting time of 6 o'clock in the evening etc. Interestingly a performance of "Der Corsar" "The Corsair" an opera in two acts is advertised for the following morning which we speculate was based on Byron's wildly popular work of the same name. This opera predates both Francesco Maria Piave's libretto and Verdi's opera of the same name. "Intrigue and Love" was first performed on 13 April 1784 at the Schauspiel Frankfurt in Frankfurt to wide acclaim and continues to be performed today. (n. p.) unknown books

The most popular dream interpretation handbook in pre-revolutionary Russia this text offers an alphabetized glossary of dream images and their possible meanings. Little is known about the author Miss Hasse a famous medium supposedly born in a Polish family in a town called Milava in 1854 then a part of the Russian empire. Miss Hasse performed before large audiences conducting séances and managed to amass a fortune riding the wave of popularity of esoterica in the late 19th century. In 1895 she opened a publishing house "MISS HASSE" which specialized in pseudoscientific texts on psycho-phrenology palmistry hypnosis and other esoteric subjects. The publishing house printed works by other popular mediums such as one H.M. Shiller-Shkol'nik. Excerpts from his two earlier books "A sure method for getting to know yourself and others" 1906 and "Hypnosis" 1911 are added to the end of the handbook. The appended text is illustrated with technical drawings. Several pages of testimonials apparently sent by individuals from all over the Russian empire from Kiev to Harbin close the publication suggesting the great reach of the mediums. The handbook was reprinted in 1990 by Moscau Redline press. This first edition is not in the Russian State Library. The Russian National Library's copy is marked lost.
