1859C0297144 pages with diagrams. Duodecimo 6 1/4" x 4" issued in original publisher's decorative blind stamped boards with gilt-decorated and lettered spine. Hagedorn: 51 First edition.<br /><br />The second part of this book contains many clever problems selected from those which competed in a tournament arranged by Frere the chess editor of Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper. The first part was published without the sanction or approval of Morphy and comprises games with notes copied form the Chess Monthly The Era and other sources without any special acknowledgment. The collection was evidently hurriedly and incompetently made to take advantage of the demand created by Morphy's success in Europe. Hadgedorn.<br /><br />Born on 8th December 1820 in Brooklyn of a French Creole father and a mother of Irish descent Thomas Frere's interest in chess is sparked in 1827 on seeing "the Turk" Maelzel's automaton chess player at Tammany Hall. The story leaps forward to 1854 with Frere a married man with three children working for the Home Life Insurance Company in Wall Street whilst also operating a printing engraving and publishing business. He witnesses the start of public chess in New York when the owner of Limberger's saloon at the corner of Fulton and Nassau Streets decides to replace the decrepit chess equipment used by two patrons with several new sets and boards. Within three years in excess of fifty players are frequenting the establishment. Moving from Limberger's saloon to Brooklyn in 1856 Frere starts the Brooklyn Chess Club. Frere becomes involved with organizing and running the First American Chess Congress held in New York. Morphy takes first prize in the Grand Tournament ahead of Louis Paulson in second. Paulsen causes a sensation with his feats of blindfold chess. In 1859 Frere publishes the first book about the new American chess sensation Morphy's Games of Chess and Frere's Problem Tournament. During 1858 through 1859 he becomes embroiled in a feud with Daniel W. Fiske Editor of Chess Monthly and lead organizer of the First American Chess Congress regarding Staunton's refusal to contest a match with Morphy.<br /><br />Condition:<br /><br />Spine head lightly chipped corners rubbed else a very good copy of an early American chess title.

I primi libri non suscitarono grande impressione, e la sua fama è dovuta soprattutto alle fiabe (pubblicate in fascicoli annuali dal 1835 al 1872), per le quali egli prende il materiale dove gli si offre (racconti per bambini, tradizioni, motivi popolari) mantenendo, nell’elaborarlo, un tono inconfondibilmente suo, tra l’incantato e l’ingenuo, e abbandonandosi alla contemplazione di un mondo candido e fantasioso, ricco di bellezza e di bontà, in cui il fiabesco è un inno di fiducia e di gioia che si leva nonostante ogni amara esperienza”. Così Diz. Treccani,I, pp. 420/421. L’irlandese Harry Clarke (1889-1931), autore delle splendide illustrazioni di queste fiabe, è figura di spcco nell’Irish Arts and Crafts Movement, e i suoi disegni furono influenzati sia dal Movimento Art Nouveau che da quello Art Deco. Tracce d’uso interc. nel t.; 5 carte con mancanze al marg. esterno bianco; 1 tav. in b.n. con piccola manc. al marg. interno bianco; con qualche fiorit. ma complessivam. un buon esemplare.

In-16 p., brossura orig., custodia in mz. tela e astuccio in cartonato mod., pp. (8),192,62. "Terza edizione". (la prima è del 1902, Parigi). Cfr. Falqui, p. 68 per la I ediz. - Salaris “Storia del futurismo”, p. 20: “Il poema epico in versi liberi narra della scalata al cielo da parte di un mare in tempesta; volontà di potenza, aggressività guerriera, titanismo prometeico di derivazione romantica, simbolismo visionario ed orchestrazione wagneriana ne sono i caratteri. Due citazioni, da Dante sui “difettivi sillogismi” e da Poe sull’eloquenza dell’analogia, sottendono sin da questa prima prova una visione dell’arte come culto dell’allucinazione contro il razionalismo positivista”. Ben conservato, con barbe.

190049488Paris: Société Anonyme des Imprimieres Lemercier 1900. Hardcover. Small 8vo. Full blue calf with gilt spine rules/lettering in compartments gilt board rules and inner dentelles. 560pp 31pp 23pp 56pp pictorial ads. All edges gilt. Illustrations marbled endpapers sewn-in red/green/yellow page marker. Near fine. Spine only faintly shellacked a turn-of-the-century practice with hand-lettered paper shelf label near foot. Exceptionally handsome tight first edition of this detailed guide to American participation of this world's fair to end all world's fairs held in Paris between 12 April and 12 November 1900. Like all world's fairs its intention was to celebrate mankind's accomplishments and advances in every field imaginable -- but with the debut of the new century it was felt appropriate to celebrate accomplishments of the preceding century as well. This remarkable copy bears a red-bordered 4½" X 3/4" colophon slip typed in blue tipped to an inner flyleaf noting that "Twenty-five copies of this catalogue have been bound in this form for special distribution. This copy is numbered 11." Recipients of this specially-bound edition were likely important politicos of the day. The name of this special recipient has been giltstamped on the front board: "WILLIAM B. ALLISON SENATOR." From the collection of William B. Allison 1829-1908 the powerful Iowa Republican who as U.S. senator from that state 1873-1908 was one of the "big four" who controlled the Senate; as chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee for most of those years he championed tariff legislation and co-authored the Bland-Allison Act of 1878; as member of the Senate Finance Committee he was often courted by U.S. presidents to hold cabinet positions. Early 20th century bookplate on front pastedown notes "This book is part of Allison Memorial Collection Gift of Mrs. Jennie A. Brayton" and until deaccessioned was part of Allison's non-circulating collection at his hometown public library across the street from his Dubuque residence. According to Leland L. Sage in his 1956 biography "William Boyd Allison: A Study in Practical Politics" Allison owned "hundreds of books on government economics history banking finance and the tariff as well as volumes of American and English literature. An omnivorous reader Allison doubtless read most of these volumes if only for relaxation from the strain that accompanied his efforts to solve the many problems facing the Nation. Alexander Hamilton was his guidepost in finance Robert Burns his favorite poet and 'The Cotter's Saturday Night' his favorite poem." A superb copy of this rare edition with gilt as fresh and bright as the day applied. Société Anonyme des Imprimieres Lemercier hardcover
