176614914A Amsterdam; & se trouve à Paris: chez Vincent Imprimeur-Libraire rue S. Severin 1766 First edition of a legendary rarity. Barbier and Cioranescu ascribe this work to Madame de Verzure about whom little is known though Quérard tells us she was the wife of a Geneva banker. She apparently wrote no other books. Contemporary mottled calf. Gilt spine with burgundy morocco label blue marbled edges. . Two volumes in one twelvemo. Bottom corners worn leather worn in one spot on back cover. Otherwise a very good copy. In the dedication to Mirabeau the author notes "Une femme qui savise décrire & cqui ose hazarder limpression doit se cacher avec soin & se garder de jamais se laisser appercevoir." Madame Verzure has retired from society in order to better understand herself as woman and as a thinking person. This work which is principally addressed to women contains about sixty chapters of reflections on the world and her position in it. There are chapters on the passions honor celibacy marriage goodness humor law pain ennui paternal love one's duty in the world truth and sincerity notions of the soul self-love etc. The last two chapters "La femme raisonnable" and "La femme du monde" present the central concern of this book: the woman of the world versus the woman of intellect: "L'une veut qu'on la croie parfaite; lautre cherche à le devenir."

17933334Durango Mx: October 1793. Very good. Broadside 12 x 8.5 inches printed in two columns with a central woodcut headpiece all within a handsome ornamental border. Old folds minor foxing light edge wear eight pinpoint wormholes not affecting readability of text. Completed in ink with ink docketing on verso. Signed and rubricated. A seemingly unrecorded "patente" or indulgence issued by the Holy Cathedral Church of Durango conferring membership into a religious confraternity for a woman named Maria Josefa Cano whose name is entered in ink within the text of the broadside. This indulgence issued by the colonial "Santa Hermandad" defined Cano's duties which included attendance at mass on the last Sunday of each month as well as certain festivities assist sickly brothers and sisters and attend funerals of fellow members "with a candle in hand." It also provided Cano with membership indulgences provided for sixteen pesos for her burial and defined the masses to be performed upon her death. This example includes the name of the former "Hermano mayor" eldest brother crossed out and with the name of the current elder signed and rubricated just below; also includes rubrication below the secretary's name. A wonderful indulgence for a woman in Durango in the last decade of the 18th century. October unknown

According to Joseph-Marie Querard these Memoirs consisting of a set of fictitious letters were most likely actually written by Crebillon 1707-1777 whose father had been elevated from poverty by Pompadour while detailing the descriptions of “the cabals and intrigues of courtiers; the characters of generals and ministers of state with the causes of their rise and fall; and in general the most remarkable occurrences at the court of France during the last twenty years of the Reign of Louis XV.†Pompadour protected both Voltaire and Montesqieu encouraged Diderot and d’Alembert in their efforts and was a noted political force in not only contributing to the circumstances leading to the Seven Years War but also suppression of the Jesuits in France.

17884111Frederick County Md: March 7 1788. About very good. 1p. folio docketed on verso. Old folds short splits along a couple of fold lines minor toning. An impactful manuscript document from the early national period in Maryland formalizing the sale of a slave woman in Frederick County. The sale was made by Robertson Eastburn whose family emigrated from England to Maryland in the early 18th century. The document reads in part: "In consideration of the sum of forty six pounds in Gold and Silver to me in hand and paid by Frederic Strombol.I do hereby Acknowledge have Bargain'd Sold and Delivered and by these presents doth Bargain Sell and Deliver Unto the said Frederic Strombol One Negro Woman named Torry about thirty years of age To Have and to hold the said Bargained Negro woman unto the said Frederic Strombol."<br /> <br /> Slavery in Maryland lasted over 200 years from its beginnings in 1642 when the first Africans were brought as slaves to St. Mary's City to its end following the Civil War. In 1664 under the governorship of Charles Calvert 3rd Baron Baltimore the Assembly ruled that all enslaved people should be held in slavery for life and that children of enslaved mothers should also be held to the same standard of law. 19th-century American slave sale documents are growing increasingly scarce in the market.
