Born of poor parents in Goerlitz Germany as a boy he tended cattle later becoming a shoemaker marrying & fathering 4 children. Boehme at the robust age of 37 in 1612 wrote his first treatise Aurora oder Die Morgenroete in Aufgang. In 1613 an unauthorized copy of the manuscript was copied and circulated by Karl von Ender. Its reception "raised him out of his homely sphere and made him the centre of a local circle of liberal thinkers considerably above him in station and culture." However the local pastor primarius of Gorlitz Gregorius Richter leveled a charge of heresy. The local muncipal council administered an admonishment to no further "meddle in such matters." This charge Boehme publicly followed for 5 years. In 1618 Boehme again started writing expository & polemical treatises. The majority of his works were written though not formally published from 1619 - 1624. A second major work Der Weg zu Christo was published in 1624 and signaled a renewal of clerical hostility. Boehem however was destined to suffer but a short period of this second persecution; he died of an illness on 17 November 1624. Boehme has been said to have a "fertility of ideas" and a "trasncendent greatness of religious insight." Boehme was studied by Sir Isaac Newton and influenced the work Henry More as well as and especially William Law 1686 - 1761. Xl Questions concerning the Soule was translated by the English mystic John Sparrow in collaboration with John Ellstone & financed by Humphrey Blunden. This the first of several works by Boehme that Sparrow & Ellstone were to translate into English between 1644 - 1662. Boehme proved to be highly popular in England where there were regular societies of Behmenists at the time. This work XL Questions went into a second edition in 1648 and a third edition in 1665. 11th EB. A scarce title in the Boehme canon.

"Jules Pelcoq born in Belgium was a Parisian book illustrator and colleague of Honoré Daumier and contributed to Le Charivari and other French periodicals of the time. He also covered the French side for the Illustrated London News during the Franco-Prussian War. While covering the 1870 siege of Paris Pelcoq dispatched his work by balloon to London. Wood engravings were then made from his sketches once they arrived in England.

P6721Petrograd: Partiia Sotsialistov-Revolutsionerov 1921. Octavo 19 Ã 13.6 cm. Original staple-stitched printed self-wrappers; 18 1 pp. Tear to lower front corner else very good. Rare apparently unrecorded and illicitly published pamphlet most likely issued by the Central Bureau of the Party of Socialist Revolutionaries. The SR Party also issued a similar journal in Petrograd in 1920 or 1921. A report by<br/>the Soviet Secret Police notes that a large number of SR pamphlets were confiscated in July 1922. The publisher was likely the SR activist Leonid V. Rossel' 1896-1943 who fled to Finland after 1917; it is possible that the pamphlet itself was actually printed in Finland. The text is a furious indictment of the Bolsheviks' "war" on the Russian peasants and its perpetuation of famine warfare censorship destruction and terror and violence against its own people by the state police. A highly interesting document either produced clandestinely in Petrograd or smuggled there by activists. Not held by the Russian State or National Library.

P5946Petrograd: Izdanie Petrogradskogo komiteta partii sotsialistov-revoliutsionerov 1917. Octavo 20 Ã 14 cm. Original staple-stitched printed self-wrappers; 32 pp. Wrapper lightly chipped else about very good. Political Literacy for Post-Revolutionary Russia. Scarce brochure that seeks to educate a literate but not highly educated audience about the program of the Socialist Revolutionary Party SR breaking down basic principles of capitalist and socialist systems and proposing a program of action. The party won the Constituent Assembly election of 1917 November 25 1917 generally considered to be the first free Russian election taking about 40% of the popular vote. SR was the primary competitor of Russian Social Democratic Labor Party RSDLP the party of Lenin until its name was changed to the All-Russian Communist Party following the October Revolution of 1917. While the Bolshevik RSDLP won the majority of the vote in urban centers and from soldiers on the western front they lost the overall election to the SRs whose candidate list had been printed prior to the split between the left and right wings of the SRs with the left wing forming a coalition with the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks had hoped that this election would provide them the popular mandate to govern. Lenin criticized the Constituent Assembly saying that it failed to represent the Russian people because the ballot had not indicated the split between the SRs right wing and the pro-Bolshevik left. SRs held power for two weeks before the Bolsheviks disbanded the Assembly and gained the upper hand. As ideologically hostile literature as well as documentation of an alternative path of development after the February Revolution the publications of the Socialist-Revolutionaries were subject to destruction in the years after the October coup.

1828006534New York City 1828. Hardcover. Cloth spine. Marbled pastedown on boards. Leather centerpiece label on front board. Good. Original watercolors of rural Manhattan as it appeared in 1828. Among these and captioned are a farmhouse on Broadway and 8th Street; Kips Bay showing a boy sailing a small craft with a farmhouse in the background; a house in Bloomingdale the location of an early village now the Upper West Side along the river between 96th and 106th Streets; and a stately mansion surrounded by fields and less important buildings we would conjecture in or around Bloomingdale but captioned surely incorrectly the Battery. Most of the paintings are uncaptioned. Of these some are surely the Upper Hudson area or are scenes that we can't tell whether they are upstate or in the present day city. The artist also ventured away from the New York areas. Among the non-New York paintings are a depiction of the Cape Pogue Lighthouse on Martha's Vineyard which still stands; Fowey Harbour which is in Cornwall; and a few scenes which look very much like Scotland. Oblong 14 by 19.5 cm. 55 watercolors generally fully finished. Although the sketchbook has a label on its front board bearing the name of Walter Oddie who was a listed artist we believe a good amount of the artwork contained in this sketchbook is of his father-in-law Henry Meigs. Meigs had been a U.S. Congressman from New York and also held a number of other political positions in the city over the course of his career. More pertinently Meigs was known to be an amateur painter and as such an inspiration to Oddie. Given Oddies youth at the time -- he was 20 or 21 years old and from his diary for the years 1828 and 1829 now housed in the Winterthur Library we know he was just starting to paint we find it inconceivable that he would have had the skill yet to produce the sensitive and fine renderings of nature and buildings that typify this sketchbook. Further underlying our thinking about attribution is that some of captioning only makes sense if Meigs were the primary artist. We do consider it quite likely that Oddie may have done some of the sketchier work contained herein as well as contributing in bits and pieces to his father-in-laws work as well as perhaps copying some of it in this sketchbook. To us it isnt really so important who was responsible for particular paintings in the sketchbook. Rather the significance lies in the recording of New York City and its surroundings at the time we suspect that there may be no recording anywhere of some of the buildings and locations at this time. And of course not to be minimized is the beauty of the better paintings contained in the sketchbook.Whatever the degree of Oddies contribution the sketchbook does have something to say about his career and visa versa given that it contains the type of artwork for which he became known later. Oddie was born in Maryland Washington D.C. or possibly New Orleans but spent almost his entire life in New York and more specifically New York City Brooklyn or Long Island. In 1828 the year most of the watercolors in the catalogue were executed Oddie was spending much of his time in the city.Once Oddies interest in painting was sparked he was believed to have been largely self-taught but he did come to study art with Hudson River School painter Robert Walter Weir and Anthony Lewis De Rose a portrait and historical painter. From the diary we know that Oddie did work with De Rose in 1829; we believe that his tutelage with Weir came later. From the diary we know that Oddie was regularly going to art exhibits and critiquing what he saw. The diary also discloses or corroborates our prior sense that Oddie sometimes would work off of engraved prints. To what degree he was merely copying the prints as opposed to using the prints as a spur to his own imagination we can not determine with certitude. We tend to think the views of Scottish and Welsh castles contained in the Sketchbook were done by Meigs not Oddie and so they might well have been done from life.From the diary we know that Oddie had some day job that occupied him during the week and so he did most of his painting at that time on the weekends when he would often go for long hikes along the Hudson. Oddie also refers in the diary to having been in Hudson then and now the county seat of Columbia County and so it is very plausible that some of the upstate scenery is from around there. Again we think some of these paintings may have been done by Meigs.Oddie would become an associate member of the National Academy of Design where he frequently exhibited his artwork.One further note we spoke of questioning one caption referring to the Battery. In 1828 the urbanized part of the city didnt even reach 14th Street but the Battery as the oldest part of the city was thoroughly urbanized. Thus the painting could not be of the Battery. But the landscape is very consistent with the topography of Upper Manhattan. <br /> hardcover books
