180321250471803. London: Printed by J. Cundee . Sold by T. Hurst. 1803. 12mo. Contemporary sprinkled calf with restorations; pp. xii 349 eight stipple-engraved portraits including frontispiece; binding worn; occasional light spotting or browning p. 173 with flaw to lower outer corner; otherwise a good copy.First edition of this anonymously published compendious biographical dictionary of remarkable women who defied gender roles or led independent lives and had a positive impact on their societies and the perception of women.Almost programmatically the volume opens with the biography of Alice a 106-year old African-American slave in Pennsylvania who remembered the days of William Penn and the first settlers. At the age of 95 she still could be seen in full gallop on her daily way to church. Alice of Dunk's Ferry as she became known died in 1802 in Bristol Pennsylvania and is considered now to have been the formost local aural historian for the eighteenth centrury. In the entry for Alice is a reference to a portrait ""See annexed engraving"" p. 3 which is not listed in the directions to the binder and strangely enough can only be found in the later 1804 Worcester Massachusetts edition printed by Isaiah Thomas 1749-1831 a New England pioneer politician writer publisher and printer to whom this text is sometimes ascribed.A precursor of this dictionary is the 1801 ""Eccentric Biography; Or Memoirs of Remarkable Characters"" published by T. Hurst. It contained biographies of both genders; however far fewer of women about a fifth of the almost one hundred biographies collected in this first edition. Among them are biographies of the cross-dressing Chevalier d'Eon Mme de Pompadour Angelica Kaufmann Mary Wollstonecraft the longest and most laudatory biographical entry in the volume Mary Astell Catherine I and II empresses of Russia and other outstanding female lives from history.See Sabin 21754 for the Boston edition of ""Eccentric Biography of Remarkable Characters"" and a Boston 1825 edition. unknown
19104067London 1910. An attractive children's game. There a blocks of wood with 6 paintings pasted onto the six sides when placed together they make a picture showing children playing. Held in a wooden box which once have a clasp now broken. There are 4 chromolithographed illustrations in the box and a fifth is pasted onto the lid. We suspect there was a sixth now missing. The blocks have rubbing to the corners with slight loss of image. The lithographs are on thin paper and has small nicks and tears to the edges but still attractive. Darkening to the image on the front board. Overall an attractive game showing signs of regular use. This was clearly British from the red post box on the image to the lid of the box. The dating is from the children's clothing particularly the sailor suit on the cover. 150 x 190 mm 6 x 7½ inches. hardcover

It would seem that there were plans for this to be an annual review but if so this doesn't appear to have happened as Worldcat only records these two years.

The rest of the boards are in good slightly bumped condition. Inside there is an owner's signature to the end paper. The rest is clean and tidy. The half-title reads "Etat de l'Angleterre pour l'anneÌe 1780." viii 178 2 pages. The first volume conforms to OCLC: 40428559. This is followed by another half title for the year 1781 and a second volume of the book. viii 199 3. pages. This second volume conforms to OCLC: 630334412.

Le premier volume porte sur l'année 1780 le second sur l'année 1781.

Le reste des planches est en bon état légèrement bosselé. A l'intérieur la signature d'un propriétaire figure sur la page de garde. Le reste est propre et bien rangé.

18885720Sydney Davies and Co 1888 Première édition. Une superbe photographie originale à l'albumine représentant la drague « Wallaroo ». Il s'agissait d'un bateau à vapeur à hélice en fer de 150 tonnes, construit dans les chantiers navals de Clyde (London Works) par le constructeur naval écossais William Simons & Co. Ltd.

113795Continental Europe 13th-14th century. . Hebrew manuscript on vellum in old black ink; sheet size: 32 x 21.5 cm mount size: 45 x 35 cm; browning staining creases and marginal tears; mounted.<br /> Fragment from the Writings' Book of Psalms with Masorah containing Psalms 112 to 114. Psalm 113 also known in the Christian Latin liturgy as 'Laudate pueri Dominum' beginning in the King James' version: 'Praise ye the Lord O ye servants of the Lord'. In Judaism it is the first of the six Psalms comprising the Hallel prayer which is recited on 'Rosh Chodesh' the first day of the Hebrew month and on Jewish holidays. In Roman Catholicism it is one of the Psalms included in the Vespers service the evening prayer. It has been set to music often notably by Claudio Monteverdi in his 'Vespro della Beata Vergine' in 1610. In Hebrew the psalm has several famous melodies typical to each community's place of settlement which were passed trough generations in Sephardi Mizrachi and Ashkenazi communities and dating back to the middle ages and possibly prior.<br /><br />It seems that this leaf was used in what is known in Hebrew as 'Gnizat Krichot' the use of the leaves from old books' for binding newer books at a time when bookmaking materials were scarce. Many Jewish books that were confiscated by the Catholic Church during the Inquisition were also repurposed as binding material.<br /> [Continental Europe], [13th-14th century]. hardcover

Lightly soiled; near fine.</p> <p>“Our Fathers are Fighting in France.†A rare and unrecorded first World War photo-illustrated broadside documenting a little-known display of Franco-American friendship. </p> <p>Across America various patriotic societies often organized by women raised funds and sent baby clothes and necessities to France. These funds went to help babies orphaned by the War or to help French mothers with children whose fathers were fighting with the American solders. As one American soldier described it: “We will say for instance that this is Baby No. 4000.
