31317<p><strong>Order of Exercises at the Musical Festival In Honor of Prince Napoleon and Princess Clothilde at The Music Hall on Wednesday September 25th 1861 Commencing at 5 o'clock P.M.</strong></p><p>Boston: J.E. Farwell & Co. printers 1861 octavo 3 1 pp. printed program. With unused ticket of admission to the Festival measuring 3 ¾ x 5 inches rare ephemeral items.</p><p>The American visit of Emperor Napoleon II's cousin Prince Napoleon nick named Plon Plon five months after the start of the Civil War was ostensibly unofficial. But after a disastrous White House meeting with President Lincoln whom the Prince thought stupid and graceless Napoleon crossed the Confederate lines to the Virginia headquarters of rebel General G. T. Beauregard whose cosmopolitan manners were more to his taste. Traveling back to the north before his departure the Prince's Confederate sympathies were only thinly disguised though not as manifest as a spurious letter attributed to him in southern newspapers blaming the War on northern "obstinacy … prodigality and avarice… political fanaticism and egotistical speculations." After his secret meeting with the rebel General possibly to discuss French support for the rebellion – or even the Emperor's plan to occupy Mexico – the pudgy Prince had to endure this "musical festival" at which a chorus of no less than 1200 Boston school children serenaded him with the Star Spangled Banner.</p>

181723281Boston: Printed by John Eliot 1817. Wraps. Good overall. An extremely caustic review of Dr. William Warden's 'Letters written on board His Majesty's ship the Northumberland and at St. Helena'.<br /> <br /> William Warden 1777-1849 was a British surgeon in the Royal Navy who was appointed to HMS 'Northumberland' when she was ordered to transport Napoleon to exile on St Helena. <br /> <br /> Warden published the Letters in 1816 with the title 'Letters written on board His Majesty's ship Northumberland and St Helena in which the conduct and conversations of Napoleon Bonaparte and his suite.are faithfully described'. It went through 5 editions but was soon found to be of little value. Warden spoke little French and had to rely on a somewhat untrustworthy interpreter; Napoleon himself later disavowed much of the content. <br /> <br /> The Letters gave a favorable view of Napoleon causing an uproar in England which resulted in Warden being found in breach of discipline and removed from the Admiralty's list of surgeons.<br /> <br /> 8vo 32pp. String binding; the rear blue wrapper present chipped at edges. Contemporary owner name at top of title page "Kimball". Pages slightly chipped at edges tide marks to later pages not affecting legibility of text scattered fox spotting. Shaw & Shoemaker 40880.

1806ABC_49310Paris 1806. Small 4to. Imprimerie impériale Mid-19th-century gold-tooled quarter brown calf with a brown morocco title label lettered in gold on the spine and the initials "P. T." lettered in gold at the foot of the spine marbled paper sides marbled edges marbled endpapers. With a woodcut decorative border on the title page and a woodcut Islamic headpiece at the start of the work. 306 pp. First edition of a rare Arabic work celebrating Napoleon's victories during the Battle of Austerlitz 1805. It describes the battle which is seen as one of Napoleon's tactical masterpieces and the aftermath until the Peace of Pressburg 1805. The work was printed using an early 17th-century Arabic type which is sometimes considered the most beautiful ever created Conidi.After the French campaigns in Egypt and Syria between 1798 and 1801 Napoleon Bonaparte 1769-1821 remained a famous figure in the Arab and Ottoman Worlds. The present work was printed in Arabic in order to present his victories of 1805 to the Middle East. It makes use of the bulletins written during the battle either by Napoleon himself or under his supervision which offer important military information as well as fascinating political and social commentary. The end of the text contains the Arabic translation of the Peace of Pressburg signed on 26 December 1805 by Charles Maurice de Talleyrand for France as well as Johann I Joseph Prince of Liechtenstein and the Hungarian Count Ignác Gyulay for the Austrian Empire. The Arabic type used for the present work was created in the early 17th century with the support of François Savary de Brèves 1560-1628 a French ambassador in Istanbul and an orientalist who had the ambition to establish a polyglot printing press. He was finally able to do so when he was dispatched to Rome for a diplomatic mission between 1608-1614. He called his press the Typographia Savariana and ordered the cutting of new Arabic types based on the calligraphic scripts found in the manuscripts he had brought from the Middle East. These new types were well received and he printed many publications with them until his printing press unfortunately ran out of business in 1618. After the death of Savary de Brèves his types were acquired by Cardinal Richelieu for the Kingdom of France to promote the spread of Catholicism in the Levant. They were then kept in the royal library until 1692 after which they were handed to the Imprimerie Royale and fell into disuse. They were rediscovered and identified by the French Orientalist Joseph de Guignes 1721-1800 in 1787. Napoleon then used these elegant Arabic typefaces as the foundation for his new printing press in Egypt the Imprimerie Nationale which was the first modern printing press in the Arab world. They were used among others things for the first editions of the newspapers Courier and Décade. The types were brought back to Paris when the French were driven out of Egypt in 1801 and given to the new Imprimerie impériale in 1804 that used them for the present work.The edges and corners of the boards are very slightly scuffed. Barely noticeable foxing on some of the leaves the head margin has been cut slightly short with the loss of a small portion of the decorative headpiece. Otherwise in very good condition.l Schnurrer C. F. von Bibliotheca Arabica 1811 p. 497 no. 429; WorldCat 1472886006 85092075 1356910650 57018842 13021778 7 copies; Zenker Th. J.

182523292London: Printed for Henry Colburn 1825. First edition. Hardcover. Very good condition. A work describing the illness and death of Emperor Napoleon by Francois Carlo Antommarchi 1780 - 1838 an Italian physician who served as Napoleon's physician from 1818 to his death in 1821. Antommarchi performed an autopsy the day after Napoleon's death; controversy concerning the cause of death lingered for years.<br /> <br /> Antommarchi was one of a series of doctors who treated Napoleon on St. Helena sent there in 1819 by Napoleon's uncle. Napoleon rejected many of their treatments; he appears to have suffered from a variety of ailments. A 2007 study by American Swiss and Canadian researchers using modern methods and accounts such as Antommarchi's came to the conclusion that the cause of death was an advanced case of gastric cancer.<br /> <br /> Two volumes with Signet Library gilt embossed stamp at front covers.<br /> <br /> 8vo Vol I: viii 416pp. Vol II: 286pp; ads 2pp. Tan calf raised bands at spine.

1799ABC_45147Calcutta: Honorable Companys Press 1799. Never bound but side stitched through 3 holes. Super Royal 4to 33.5 x 25 cm. A British propaganda publication printed in Calcutta transcribing secret documents that the British supposedly found in the palace of Seringapatam: primarily Tipu Sultans correspondence with the French considered a betrayal of the British. Tipu Sultan 1750-1799 ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore in southern India took part in a long-standing military feud with the British but made peace with them in 1792. When the French under Napoleon made a push for India in 1798 the British attacked Tipus forces once again starting the Fourth Anglo-Mysore War and eventually killing Tipu Sultan in the attack on Seringapatam. He had a fearsome reputation as the Tiger of Mysore and the present publication attempts to discredit him as a traitor. His supposed affiliation with the French Jacobin Club would have especially concerned British readers. Most of the correspondence between Tipu Sultan the French and their allies including Zaman Shah Durrani ruler of what was to become Afghanistan is printed in parallel columns in English and French. Also included is the text of a letter from Tipu Sultan printed letterpress in Persian in the nastaliq script: 9 lines of type apparently set in the nastaliq type cut under the direction of Charles Wilkins 1749-1836 who served the East India Company in India and became their leading orientalist. It was first used at Calcutta in 1781. The only earlier type for the script that has been clearly documented is thought to have been cut in the 1590s for the Propaganda Fide in Rome who used it around 1633. Neil Benjamin Edmonstone translated the Persian and G.G. Keble the French. Although the book is a true very large quarto point holes along the fold at the head and deckles at the foot and fore-edge the chainlines are vertical though one would not expect sheets this large to be made in double moulds the usual reason for chainlines parallel to the long axis of the sheet.In good condition. Wholly untrimmed and with most bolts unopened and the point holes present.l Shaw Printing in Calcutta 359; Shaw SABREB sab00086; not in Cat. East-India Comp. Honorable Companys Press, unknown
