1870503438A. J. Johnson 1870. First Edition. Hardcover. VERY GOOD. 4to 28cm. Half brown leather over brown pebbled cloth gilt ruled and lettered spine with elaborate stamped panels and raised bands gilt edges b/w plates with tissue guards color fold-out map of Palestine. Moderate wear to covers and edges dampstain to frontispiece clean and soud otherwise with sturdy binding. 'This analysis was first prepared by 'a wealthy currier of England' Matthew Talbot and published about 1800. The material was arranged by subject in thirty Books divided into chapters and sections giving every verse in the Bible but once. The two indexes one really a table of contents the other alphabetical were inadequate. A plagiarized edition was published in 1848 by an Englishman named Whowell as Analogy of the Old and New Testament Systematically Classified. In 1853 came Nathaniel West's revision of Talbot's work in which there was little change except that West included twelve verses that Talbot had inadvertently omitted making a total of 31173 and added a Consulting Apparatus of nine tables and indexes — a great labor but of considerable practical value. A. J. Johnson bought the plates of the 1853 West edition from Scribner & Co. and asked Fred B. Perkins to see what they needed for improvement. He found many typographical errors and recommended a revision in view of more recent scholarship. The old plates were then scrapped and the Rev. Roswell D. Hitchcock of Union Theological Seminary New York was employed to undertake a thorough revision. The work was completely recast the Books reduced from thirty to twenty-seven new indexes were provided and Cruden's Concordance newly set was added. Mr. Perkins and the Rev. George W. Sheldon of Union Theological also aided in the work. As copy they used the recent text of the American Bible Society. In regard to the accuracy of that text Mr. Perkins stated that he could find but one typographical error and that was a 'somewhat doubtful case of 'wrong font.'' More 'historical methods' were employed in this analysis the division into chapters was by 'thoughts' rather than by verses and cross references were used. The indexes and tables were reduced to four.' Margaret Hills The Bible In America §1868. A. J. Johnson hardcover

189422091894. As published in L'estampe Originale. Album VII. A four color embossed Gypsograph lithograph. 10 1/4 x 15 9/16 margins: 16 ¾ x 23 ½. Signed and numbered by Charpentier. Printed by Eugene Verneau. With the Blind stamp of L'estampe Originale. Stein and Karshan 14. Slightly mat burned in the margins but colors are excellent as original. One of the most important artists together with Pierre Roche to use gypsography in the 1890s. The process involves using plaster moulds and hand-colored damp paper to create the image after which ink is applied directly to the mould as with a wood-engraving. Later he replaced the plaster moulds with metal to achieve more detail in the relief. He used the method in book form for the first time here. The effect is one of medals set within the typographic layout L'Estampe Originale

First Edition. <br /> <br /> First performed in Paris at the Conservatoire National on 18 May 1892 and at the Théâtre National de l'Opéra on 17 June 1892. <br /> <br /> "Charpentier carried his spirit of revolt to the Villa Medici and like Debussy before him escaped from Rome to Paris on several occasions. He managed however to write the nucleus of his life's work there: the orchestral suite Impressions d'Italie the symphonie-drame La vie du poète a latterday Lélio and most of the libretto and the first act of his most famous work Louise. Charpentier's growing success in the 1890s with La vie du poète and open-air extravaganzas like the Sérénade à Watteau and La couronnement de la muse coupled with the expected scandal attached to the opera's promiscuous theme and the excitement of the Paris Exhibition led to a box-office triumph in February 1900 though the composer had nearly starved during the previous year. The vociferous young left wing hailed him as the saviour of French music though it was undoubtedly the sociological ideals of this first opera of women's liberation rather than its music which appealed."

1899423702Port Chester New York / North Dakota 1899. Unbound. Near Fine. A collection of 21 letters from 1890 through 1899 pertaining to pioneer land debt in North Dakota. Near fine with small tears and some age toning most in envelopes.<br /> <br /> A collection of letters to Richard Carpenter of Port Chester New York. Carpenter was financing land purchases for new settlers in Lisbon Wisner and La Moure in North Dakota. He would receive a share of the crop until the land was paid off. However most farmers who bought the land were unable to afford paying the money back as the soil was much denser and the weather much colder than many of the southern farming communities. One letter is written on the back of a full page lithographic broadside map of Wisner and pleads with Carpenter to take $200 away from the mortgage that still needs to be paid on the land. Most of the letters are complaints about payments and raising crops "The crop failure and low price for 93 gives this country a bad black eye and paralyzes all lines of trade and the earliest remedy is a bountiful 94" and "I have seen the men from Dakota and the account they give of the country is very discouraging everyone wants to sell and no one wants to buy". Many of the letters are written from J. E. Wisner who arrived in 1880. Wisner had built a flour mill laid out a town site promoted a stillborn railroad and invented a farm implement that made him a wealthy man for his time. His letters are more often strictly letters of payment being sent to Carpenter. The letters offer financial data from farm and land owners during this time as well as insight into the lives of farmers trying to work in unfit conditions before the 20th century. <br /> <br /> An interesting collection of letters from concerned farmers to a land owner in New York 1890 through to 1899. unknown
