LETTERS FROM THE 15TH CENTURY: ON THE ORIGINS OF THE KELMSCOTT CHAUCER TYPEFACE. A STUDY WITH SPECIMEN LEAVES OF THE INFLUENCE OF THE EARLY GERMAN PRINTERS ON WILLIAM MORRIS' MASTERPIECE

ST15039cBMcMinnville Oregon: Phillip J. Pirages 2019. ONE OF 47 COPIES numbered I-XLVII bound in flexible vellum from a total edition of 165 COPIES. Text: 244 x 154 mm. 9 1/8 x 6 1/8"; Case: 502 x 372 mm. 19 3/4 x 14 5/8". ii 75 pp. Bound in flexible vellum with ties inspired by Kelmscott Press bindings by Amy Borezo who also constructed the case holding the volume and leaves. The book printed letterpress on Zerkall Book Laid Vellum paper by Arthur Larson at Horton Tank Graphics. Book layout by Jill Mann. EACH COPY WITH FIVE LEAVES: ONE FROM THE KELMSCOTT CHAUCER WITH woodcut borders and initials and A WOODCUT SCENE DESIGNED BY EDWARD BURNE-JONES AND ONE EACH FROM THE PRESSES OF FOUR GERMAN PRINTERS FROM THE 1470s--PETER SCHOEFFER JOHANN MENTELIN GÜNTHER ZAINER AND ANTON KOBERGER. ◆The incunabular leaves consistently excellent with only minor defects and the Kelmscott leaves which were never part of a bound volume in entirely fine condition. This is a unique leaf book in the way that it combines three elements: a significant private press production involving people at the top of their craft a scholarly commentary that contributes to a further understanding of the history of printing and--most important--five leaves: one from the Kelmscott Press "Works" of Geoffrey Chaucer and four from books issued by German printers at work in the 1470s. The book has been printed and bound by hand by gifted professionals; the essay addresses a topic of significance to typophiles in a considerably more thoroughgoing way than has been done before; and the assemblage of leaves represents a powerful visual reinforcement of the text as well as an opportunity to share in the ownership of four important incunabula along with the extraordinary Kelmscott Chaucer. The story of the production is heavy on serendipity: in the winter of 2012 after purchasing a very incomplete copy of the Kelmscott Chaucer at auction we considered the possibility of producing a leaf book but because the Chaucer--universally considered to be one of the most beautiful books ever printed--had been written about by so many different people in so many different ways we didn't know what aspect was left for us to explore. The one topic we fastened on as thus far inadequately examined is the origin of the work's typeface. We soon learned that Morris who is known to have owned more than 500 incunables most admired--and was consequently most likely to have been influenced in his typographic design by--Peter Schoeffer of Mainz Johann Mentelin of Strassburg Günther Zainer of Augsburg and Anton Koberger of Nuremberg. Over the course of the years succeeding the purchase of the defective Chaucer we were fortunate beyond all expectation to acquire incomplete books from each of these four eminent printers. As a result the present leaf book will allow the reader not only to read in the accompanying essay about the influence on Morris of his typographic forebears but also to compare with his or her own eyes the resemblances between the Kelmscott leaf and the leaves from four centuries earlier. We have additional copies of this binding available at different price points. Please contact us directly for more details. Phillip J. Pirages unknown

[Diplomatic History - Cuba, Great Britain, and the United States - Enslavement - Filibustering Missions] Seymour, Vice Admiral GBiblio.com

Collection of Reports Addressed to Peter McQuhae From Various Figures in the British Foreign Office on Subjects Including an Imminent Filibustering Attack on Cuba by a Pro-Slavery Organization from the Unted States; the Movements of a Slave Trading Brig’s Fishing Rights Relations to Spain And Other Issues of Pressing Importance to British Interests in the Caribbean

1852List2521London 1852. Five groups of documents measuring 13 x 8 inches various paginations see full description below. Fine condition. A scarce set of primary source documents relating to the protection of British territory in the Caribbean in particular along the Mosquito Coast during the period of varied interests in the area in the period following the Anglo-Spanish agreement on the slave trade. Consisting of a series of secretarial copies of reports delivered to Peter McQuhae Commodore of H.M.S. Imauam stationed in Jamaica these dispatches offer an overview of the issues confronting the British Navy in Jamaica during the period and in the Caribbean more broadly. Most of the documents refer to issues with Cuba the most interesting perhaps being a letter warning of an impending filibustering expedition against Cuba by a pro-slavery faction in the American South. The group consists of five groups of bound documents some bound out of order and likely bound later. Contents are as follows: 1. Addington A.M. Four Page Report Concerning Placing a Ship of War at Grey Town to Discourage Invasions on the Mosquito Coast March 13 1851. Henry Addington writes McQuhae to recommend stationing a warship at Grey Town: â€œ.it would be sufficient that a Ship of War should from time to time look in grey Town without remaining there at any time long enough to endanger the health of the crewâ€¦ to provide for the case which is possiblee thoâ€™ not at all likely that during the interval between the visits of a Ship of War some expedition of Nicaraguan or some of the North Americans returning from California might take advantage of the comparatively unprotected state of the lace to take possession of it and that the cruiser on its return to Grey Town might find the place so occupied Lord Palmerston concieves taht in such an event it would seem to be inconsistent with the Honor of this Country that a British Ship of War should acquiesce in such an aggression and it would be right that the intruder should be expelled if the Commander of the Ship of War should find as he probably would that he had the means of doing so without much difficulty and that in case he should repel the intruders and re-establish the authorities of the Mosquito Government demanding the liberation of any British or Mosquito subjects who might have been made Prisoners and holding hostages for their relief if they should have been removed up into the interior of the Country. It It is to be hoped however that all questions of dispute in regard to Grey Town will beoon be settled because Her Majestyâ€™s government has through Her Majestyâ€™s Minister at Washington proposed to the Government of the United States that an arrangement should be made by which the Sovereignty of Grey Townâ€¦ should be transferred to the State of Costa Ricaâ€¦ Lord Palmerston desires me to add that there are at present at Washington a plenipotentiaries both from Nicaragua and Costa Rica for the purpose of conducting this negotiationâ€¦â€ 2. Addington G.M. Single Page Letter in Secretarial Hand Warning of Incoming Ships to Cuba Carrying Enslaved Individuals January 24 1852. Addington writes to McQuhae about two incoming vessels carrying enslaved Africans passing on information received at Rio De janeiro by another British vessel: â€œI am directed by Earl GraH.M. Minister at Rio reporting that he had recieved information that two Slavers had sailed from Havana toâ€¦ the coast of Africaâ€¦ with the intention of returning with Cargoes of slaves which are to be landed at the Entrade de Cuchillo in Cuba.â€ 3. Seymour G.F. et al. Four Reports Bound Together on Varied Subjects including the Case of the Creole British Fishing Rights in Spanish Waters off of Cuba and Porto Rico and the Case of a Detained British Vessel in Cuba 1852. A series of four reports addressed to McQuhae on various subject as follows: A. Report dated May 17 1852 from Seymour discussing the case of the Creole detained in 1851: â€œ.enclosing copies of a letter from the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs approving of the course I had pursued with regard to the Creole and of a despatch from the Earl of Malmesbury to Her Majestyâ€™s Minister at Madrid relative to the rights of British Subjects to fish on the coast of Cubaâ€¦â€ B. Letter from Augustus Stafford Apriul 23 1852 discussing the Creole mostly discussing the enclosure of varied reports on the subjects but with little specific information. C. Addington A.M. April 21 1852 letter discussing the Creole case and the enclosure of documents. D. Earl of Malmesbury April 14 1852 letter discussing the Creole case in more detail: â€œ The Right thus claimed rests on this universally admitted precept of international Law â€œdominium finitur ubi finitur armorum visâ€ which in modern practice has been construed to mean â€œabout one marine league from the mainlandâ€ and H.M.â€™s Govt are clearly justified in demanding that the Spanish authorities shall be ordered not to meddle or interfere with British fishermen outside that three mile boundaryâ€¦â€ 4. Earl of Malmesbury et al. Series of Three Secretarial Copies of Reports Concerning Impending Filibuster Raids on Cuba Giving Instructions for Assisting Spanish Forces. A very interesting series of reports detailing the planned response to pending â€œPiratical Attacksâ€ showing the extent to which British forces were prepared for an American filibuster attack on the island and the degree to which they intended on assisting the Spanish forces. As follows: A. Seymour G.F. Secretarial Copy of Letter Written on May 5 1852 from Cumberland at Bermuda relaying the transmission of a full report of instructions to the British forces regarding an impending filibuster raid: â€œ I hereby enclose for your guidanceâ€¦ ordersâ€¦ relative to the assistance which is to be afforded by Her Majestyâ€™s Ships on the application of the Captain General of Cuba in the Transport of Troops in the event of a Piratical attack being again made on that island by which you will govern your conductâ€¦â€ B. Earl of Malmesbury. Secretarial Copy of a Letter Dated April 10 1862 discussing piratical attacks: â€œ.that in the event of a Piratical Attach being made upon that islandâ€¦ HMâ€™s ships might assist in conveying troops to any poiunt of the Coast of Cuba at which the invading Party might effect a landingâ€¦â€ C. Honley P. Secretarial Copy of an Undated Letter c. 1852 regarding piratical attacks: â€œHer Majestyâ€™s ships might assist in coveying Troops to any point off the Coast of Cubat at which the invading Party might effect a landingâ€¦ you should be instructed until further ORders that if the Captain General of Cuba should require your assistance for the transport of troops in the manner pointed out in your abovementioned dispatch you should comply with that demandâ€¦â€ 5. Crampton Sir John. Copy of a Letter in Secretarial Hand Relaying the Impending Danger of a Pro-Slavery Filibuster Mission from Florida May 17 1852. A fascinating letter relaying information received from M. Calderon de la Barca concerning an impending filibuster mission against Cuba led by a Dr. Wren part of an organization called â€œThe Lone Star Association:â€ â€œ.it would appear that the government of the United States has also received an intimation that something of the sort is on foot for the President informed M. Calderon that orders had already been sent to the U.S. Authorities at the different Ports of the Union to be prepared to take vigorous measures for the repression of any such attemptsâ€¦ an expedition is in fact meditated by certain parties in the South and that it is intended that it should leave some Port of Florida. The real object of this expedition however as as I am told not Cubaâ€¦ but San Domingo for the purpose of acting as auxiliaries to the Dominicans against the Haytiansâ€¦ it is by no means impossible that its ultimate aim would be Cubaâ€¦ the persons I am given to understand engaged in the expedition are a Dr. Wren who is president of a society called â€œThe Lone Star State Associationâ€¦â€ The letter is worthy of further study - we find references to a Dr. Wren in newspaper articles from the period but were unable to pinpoint his identity or the history of his organization. An article from a Loudon Tennessee newspaper describes Dr. Wren as a â€œrepresentative of New Orleans societiesâ€ and described a meeting in Loudon in 1852 trying to recruit for the overthrow of the Spanish colonial government of Cuba through an invasion. unknown

Kyaiklat, Burma, British India December 18, 1943 - June 6, 1944Biblio.com

Archive of correspondence between the India Independence League and M.S.M. Somasundram Chettiar.

1943010675Kyaiklat Burma British India 1943. Handwritten. Very Good. Loose Leaf. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Correspondence from Chettiar in Tamil from IIL in English. 9 letters from Chettiar and IIL in manuscript and typescript; 10 pieces of correspondence from IIL on note cards with IIL letterhead; 1 IIL membership card for Chettiar. CONDITION: Overall Very Good old folds some splitting and tape repairs along folds of documents by IIL but Chettiar's letters largely free of wear or tear text legible throughout. All documents now housed in sleeves that are mounted onto backing but it remains easy to remove documents from enclosures. This collection contains English translations of Chettiar's letters presumably made by the previous owner who also wrote captions describing each piece of correspondence on their respective mounts. An evocative collection of correspondence document- ing an Indian nationalist organization's coercion of funds from a member of a prominent money-lending Burmese-Tamil family. These letters show the Indian Independence League's attempt to extort money from a wealthy man whom they had identified as being in a position to help "free India from bondage and for the maintenance of the Indian National Army." This was M.S.M. Somasundarum Chettiar a 63-year-old merchant who operated his business on Strand Road in Kyaiklat a town in the Pyapon District of Burma. A recent historical study by Suppiah and Raja on the Chettiar families of Burma suggests that Somasundaram was part of a "distinguished ethnic group comprising the business class among Malaysian Indian-Tamils" who made their fortunes by lending money to the Indian working class in Burma. The Chettiar ethnic group boasted "a centuries long tradition as an indigenous banking caste in South India" and thus due to a combination of "stringent business regulations during British colonialism in the Madras Presidency and economic opportunities in the newly opened British colonies in Southeast Asia" both the Indian working class in Burma and members of the Straits Settlement Chinese utilized "Chettiar agents in order to conduct bank transactions.in the middle of the nineteenth century." This reliance upon the Chettiar's services only increased by the turn of the twen- tieth century as the demand rose for rubber and tin made in Southeast Asia. As "local Chinese and Malays with only small and medium capital sources relied on loans from Chettiar agents to develop land plant rubber and open mines.Chettiar agents" became "known as the leading moneylenders" in late-colonial Burma. Somasundaram would thus have been part of a known community of capitalists "who accumulated capital for further expansion of their activities at the expense of the Indian working class." The Indian Independence League and the Indian National Army were closely intertwined movements during WWII both led by Subhas Chandra Bose and governed by the Azad Hind Provisional Government in Exile.They worked to unite the Indian diaspora in Southeast Asia to support the cause of independence and sought military support from Japan to facilitate an armed wing for their movement. Primary source documentation of the Azad Hind government's activities is scant institutionally. We locate a scrapbook created by a member of the Indian National Army held at the Institute of Social Research in the Netherlands and a letter from Subhas Chandra Bose asking for a loan from the Hikari Kikan of Syonan held by the National Library Board of Singapore. This would be the only comparable collection held in North America.A rich collection of correspondence highlighting the conflicting poles between Indian diasporic wealth and Indian nationalists' aspirations for the nation's self-rule listing credit Pico Banerjee Peek A Boo Rare Books & Ephemera . unknown

[STUART, John McDouall]Biblio.com

The Book of Common Prayer and Administration of the Sacraments . together with the Psalter or Psalms of David .

1860135299London: George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode 1860. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode 1860. 'Small pica 16mo' unpaginated. Original full morocco all edges gilt; leather a little rubbed at the extremities with a small glass-ring on the front cover; some foxing throughout; mild signs of age and use including a dried sprig of maidenhair fern loosely inserted at one opening; in very good condition. The front free endpaper is signed by John McDouall Stuart at the foot of the following inscription: 'Presented to me Henry Nathaniel Phillips by John McDouall Stuart on board of the Ship "Indus" on her pasage sic from South Australia to London in 1864'. Written on the verso in another hand is '"Ask and it shall be given you". Matt 7th - 7.v'. The book has the contemporary blindstamp of the Adelaide booksellers W.C. Rigby 53 Hindley St Adelaide on the top corner of the rear free endpaper. We would like to think the book was purchased in Adelaide inscribed with a most apposite Biblical text and given to Stuart prior to his departure from Adelaide in late 1861 on his ultimately successful sixth expedition across the continent and back. However in many ways it was a Pyrrhic victory: 'Ill with scurvy and nearly blind Stuart had to be carried on a stretcher slung between two horses; recovering sufficiently to ride by the time they reached Mount Margaret on 26 November he pushed on with three of the party and arrived in Adelaide on 17 December 1862. On a public holiday on 21 January 1863 crowds lined the streets amid banners strung from buildings. He was awarded £2000 though allowed only the interest from it and his party received £1500 between them. White-haired exhausted and nearly blind Stuart decided to visit his sister in Scotland and sailed in April 1864. He later went to London. His claims for a greater reward from the South Australian government led to another £1000 again with only the interest. His "Explorations in Australia. The Journals of John McDouall Stuart" was edited by W. Hardman and published in 1864. He died of ramolissement and cerebral effusion on 5 June 1866 aged only 50 in London and was buried in the Kensal Green cemetery. He has remained a lonely and independent figure with a fierce pride. His reputation as a heavy drinker has led detractors to minimize his achievements even to the extent of doubting that he reached the Indian Ocean in 1862' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. Surprisingly apart from this singularly personal gift from Stuart Henry Nathaniel Phillips has left no other trace of his existence that we can find. George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode hardcover
