Boards stained; prelims including frontis and title-page a little foxed; very good copy. 8vo recent drab paper spine and printed paper label original blue paper boards untrimmed. Frontis portrait engraved by William Sharp after the portrait by George Romney. Three-page checklist of Paine's published works followed by four pages of publisher's terminal advertisements. An important memoir of Thomas Paine by his lifelong friend and supporter Thomas Clio Rickman 1761-1834 the reform-minded bookseller and poet. "Rickman's name will be forever linked with Paine for he was to Paine what Boswell was to Johnson" - John Keane Tom Paine. Paine lived with the Rickmans while he finished the controversial second part of The Rights of Man in 1792 during which time Rickman arranged to have the famous portrait made of Paine by George Romney. After Paine fled to France that summer Rickman joined him there to avoid imprisonment for selling Paine's books. Rickman was something of a versifier and wrote several poems about Paine usually sonnets and an Elegy in 1810 reprinted here. Following the memoir are miscellaneous poems and writings by Paine. Prior to Rickman's biography Paine's life had been the subject of two unfriendly biographies by hack journalists which Rickman discusses in the preface. The publisher's terminal advertisements include probably the only checklist of the writings of Rickman.

First edition of this sympathetic memoir of Paine by his longtime friend and supporter Thomas Clio Rickman 1761-1834 a fellow radical reformer and poet. "Rickman's name will be forever linked with Paine for he was to Paine what Boswell was to Johnson" Keane p. xvi. Rickman became associated with Paine while the latter was an excise man in Lewes 1768-74 and remained close to him until Paine's death. In the early 1790s Rickman moved in radical circles wrote lyrics for republican broadsheet songs and became close to John Horne Tooke and Mary Wollstonecraft. Paine lodged with Rickman while completing the second part of the Rights of Man. To avoid prosecution in Britain for publishing Paine's works Rickman joined Paine in France in 1792-93. "His Life of Thomas Paine the work for which he is chiefly known was not a conventional biography but a series of anecdotes and general meditations on Paine written with the authority of intimate personal acquaintance. Important features include his refutation of claims that Paine was converted to Christianity on his deathbed and his attention to Paine's mode of writing. Rickman was one of the first commentators on Paine to understand that his direct and colloquial style was inseparable from his egalitarian arguments" ODNB.

18961004259New York: M'lle New York Publishing Company 1896. Ten promotional posters for the first year of M'lle New York a fortnightly illustrated magazine that ran from August 1895 to January 1899. Edited by Vance Thompson and James Huneker and primarily illustrated by Thomas Fleming and Thomas Powers M'lle New York was inspired by the sophisticated satirical French weeklies of the day. More than any other American periodical it captured a bohemian sensibility its colorful pages crowded with literary translations risqué drawings and advertisements aimed at a cosmopolitan male readership. Paul Verlaine Knut Hamsun Maurice Maeterlinck and Henrik Ibsen all appeared in its pages. While "off the radar of broader culture" M'lle New York was nonetheless "an important instance of a coterie publication one with a strong avant-gardist and French influence and one that more clearly serves as a precursor to modernist little magazines than others of this period." See Kirsten MacLeod American Little Magazines of the Fin de Siècle: Art Protest and Cultural Transformation. The strong graphic identity of M'lle New York is reflected in these promotional posters which were eventually offered for sale by the editors as a fundraiser: "We've been besieged with requests for them." The posters assembled here date from August 1895 to January 1896. Eight are by Thomas Fleming seven signed in the image one unsigned one by Thomas Powers and one "The Journalistic Orchid" by editor James Huneker's wife the artist Clio Hinton Huneker. The posters feature depictions of nude or nearly nude women alongside grotesques of various kinds: a satyr a capitalist "pig" a mask ethnic caricatures. The one outlier is a straightforward announcement of a new short story by Edward W. Townsend in the inaugural issue. OCLC locates a single holding of M'lle New York posters at Hofstra. An uncommon and compelling group. Ten color-lithographed posters of varying sizes measuring between 12 and 19 inches high and between 8.5 and 20 inches wide printed on various paper stocks. Penciled dates to top corner of nine posters; pencil sketch to one verso. Light edgewear short closed tear to January 1896 poster. M'lle New York Publishing Company unknown
