First American edition one of 56 copies to secure copyright. 4 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Poet and diplomat James Elroy Flecker 1884-1915 burned bright and briefly. He joined the diplomatic service in 1908 trained for two years and was posted to Constantinople in 1910 "but in September a slight fever was diagnosed as tuberculosis and he returned to England to a sanatorium. He pronounced himself cured and . went back to Constantinople in March 1911 to be transferred in April to Beirut. Flecker was not a very efficient vice-consul" ODNB. His first formal collection of verse The Bridge of Fire was published in 1907 and The Golden Journey to Samarkand was published in 1913. He died in Switzerland aged thirty-one. According to O'Brien An Essay on Flecker was "written in 1925 with the intention of publication in a periodical and did not appear in print until 1937 when it was first issued in a very limited edition of 30 copies by the Corvinus Press in London.

The wrap cover serves as one of the three title pages. In its original title "Raharu" this is the novel that put Loti on the map in 1880 and it served as the inspiration for Leo Delibes' once popular opera "Lakmé" which premiered just three years later. Essentially Loti was the authorial counterpart to Gauguin in plunging whole into Tahitian society and his pen-name "Loti" followed from this novel. Without question one of Loti's greatest strengths as a writer was the color he brought to his descriptions and exotic subject matter and these pochoirs most definitely honor and capture that mastery.

Indonesia officially the Republic of Indonesia is a country in Southeast Asia and Oceania between the Indian and Pacific oceans. It consists of over 17000 islands including Sumatra Java Sulawesi and parts of Borneo and New Guinea. Indonesia is the world's largest island country and the 14th-largest country by area at 735358 square miles. With over 279 million people Indonesia is the world's fourth-most populous country and the most populous Muslim-majority country. Java the world's most populous island is home to more than half of the country's population. Indonesia is a presidential republic with an elected legislature. It has 38 provinces of which nine have special autonomous status. The country's capital Jakarta is the world's second-most populous urban area. Indonesia shares land borders with Papua New Guinea East Timor and the eastern part of Malaysia as well as maritime borders with Singapore Vietnam Thailand the Philippines Australia Palau and India. Despite its large population and densely populated regions Indonesia has vast areas of wilderness with the world's second-highest levels of biodiversity after Brazil. The Indonesian National Revolution also known as the Indonesian War of Independence was an armed conflict and diplomatic struggle between the Republic of Indonesia and the Dutch Empire and an internal social revolution during postwar and postcolonial Indonesia. It took place between Indonesia's declaration of independence in 1945 and the Netherlands' transfer of sovereignty over the Dutch East Indies to the Republic of the United States of Indonesia at the end of 1949. The Proclamation of Indonesian Independence Indonesian: Proklamasi Kemerdekaan Indonesia or simply Proklamasi was read at 10:00 on Friday 17 August 19451 in Jakarta. The declaration marked the start of the diplomatic and armed resistance of the Indonesian National Revolution fighting against the forces of the Netherlands and pro-Dutch civilians until the latter officially acknowledged Indonesia's independence in 1949. The document was signed by Sukarno and Mohammad Hatta who were appointed president and vice-president respectively the following day. The date of the Proclamation of Indonesian Independence was made a public holiday by a government decree issued on 18 June 1946. The four-year struggle involved sporadic but bloody armed conflict internal Indonesian political and communal upheavals and two major international diplomatic interventions. Dutch military forces and for a while the forces of the World War II allies were able to control the major towns cities and industrial assets in Republican heartlands on Java and Sumatra but could not control the countryside. By 1949 international pressure on the Netherlands the United States threatening to cut off all economic aid for World War II rebuilding efforts to the Netherlands and the partial military stalemate became such that the Netherlands transferred sovereignty over the Dutch East Indies to the Republic of the United States of Indonesia. The revolution marked the end of the colonial administration of the Dutch East Indies except for New Guinea. Citra Media Persada hardcover

Contemporary quarter calf and boards rebacked later endpapers; corner of title page torn away first three leaves waterstained at lower edge. A good sound copy. Second edition. Frontispiece & Illustrated with 44 sculptures. 1 vols. Folio. Pettus was deputy governor of the royal mines for over thirty-five years. The first part is translated from the German of Erckern but the second part is Pettus' own contribution to the lexicography of metals - and wonderfully anecdotal and original it is as this from his entry on "DUNG": ".among the Indians it was usual that when they intended Homage to their Superiors or welcome too their Friends they did evacuate their Dung into their Hand and so daub it on the Face of whom they intended to honour or pleasure and was ever accepted by them as the first and best of the Welcoming Ceremonies: for Agricola tells us of Mans-Dung made as sweet as Civit. But to return nearer home when I remained in London during the great Plague in 1666 Dr. Glisson famous in his time being my old Friend and Acquaintance perswaded me to take a piece of his constant Antidote which was only the Dung of one that had dyed of the Plague dryed and so kept in a foraminous Box for the best Antidotical Perfume; but I thank God I escaped without it." Engaging too are the delightful engravings which embellish the work. Wing P-1907 Printed for and sold by Stephen Bateman unknown

Lawton had initially crafted a â€œgritty drama originally called 3000â€ which â€œwas turned into the uber-rom-com Pretty Womanâ€. Erbland goes on to write â€œLawtonâ€™s original script still contains many of the classic beats and scenes that people remember from the final film including a trip to the opera a series of bad shopping experiences and that fancy dinner with the kind-hearted businessman whose company he Gereâ€™s character Edward is trying to raid. The characters are mostly the same.But the tone and ending are completely different and itâ€™s mostly a relief when Vivian and Edward donâ€™t end up together even though the story ends on a decidedly down note. 3000 ends with Kit Vivianâ€™s best friend and Vivian on a bus bound for Disneyland.â€ This script offers fans of Pretty Woman a glimpse into the often circuitous route film development can take.

The Eglinton Tournament

1843008069London: Colnaghi and Puckle. Printed by Cook & Co. Lithography by Day & Haghe 1843. First Edition. Half Morocco. Pebbled cloth on boards. Very Good. A magnificent souvenir of a Romantic era joust basically a re-enactment of the Medieval combat sport in keeping with the resurgent interest in the Middle Ages at the time. This tournament was sponsored by Lord Eglinton at his Scottish castle in 1839. That this massive book took four years to put together attests to its grandeur as well as the ardor of Medievalism among the aristocratic elite. Elephantine Folio 61 by 43 cm. Blank title leaf dedication leaf six paginated pages then 21 hand-colored plates each with a tissue guard and a one or two page Description of the particular plate on a single leaf until the last or 21st numbered plate which has a four page or two leaf Description after which there are two unpaginated pages of "Concluding Remarks". The lettering of text on these pages is done mostly with blue type with occasional red. The title and the plate leaves are of a card stock. The other leaves are of a more standard but not light paper weight and the tissue guards are of a similar minimally less paper weight but a glossier stock. The plates capture and probably improve upon the spirit of the event as they idealize the whole proceeding with nary a misstep all the costuming just right not a speck of dust or dirt to mar the beauty of the sport. However true these "reenactors' -- for that was what they were -- are faithful to the Medieval sport our image of jousting tournaments is probably more influenced by the prettified imitation than the original since books like this directly influenced Hollywood and the historic fiction genre more than the more esoteric surviving documents from the Middle Ages. The tournament reportedly drew an estimated 100000 spectators but it also was mocked and satirized in its day especially by members of the Whig Party. Notwithstanding that this pageant inspired others in its wake. In addition to the 21 numbered plates the title page has a large hand-colored illustrated oval centerpiece 26 cm tall surrounded by monotone decoration comprised of figures of men in armor and seraphs. All the descriptions begin with a decorated letter that is in itself an esquisite vignette. And not to be slighted each of the color plates has surrounding its primary richly colored illustration a highly decorative frame that is populated with seraphs human figures foliate ornaments escutcheons weaponry etc. etc. These frames in contrast to the central illustration are mostly black line drawings with a tinted background but there are occasional bits of fuller color -- the coat-of-arms are generally rendered so -- and in a few of the frames these full color pieces are quite numerous. Regarding the Dedication leaf the dedication is to Archibald William Montgomerie who was the Earl of Eglinton as well as the holder of other titles and was made by Edward Puckle. The gallery he headed at the time goes back to 1760 and remains to this day now known simply as Colnaghi with headquarters in Mayfair but branches in New York and other cities. Nixon 1802 - 1857 illustrated the novels of Sir Walter Scott and not coincidentally "Ivanhoe" apparently was the inspiration to stage this particular pageant. He is best known though as a designer of stained glass and his work in this medium done through a partnership of Ward and Nixon can be seen most famously in Lincoln Cathedral. As to Eglinton himself the tournament cost him dearly as he depleted his coffers of almost everything to cover the massive losses incurred by the event. All edges gilt. Gilt lettering and decoration on cover bright. Two decorative bookplates mounted onto FEP. The book besides being extra-large is also extra-heavy -- 13 lbs. 8 ou. -- and thus expect a substantial amount of extra postage will be required to ship especially internationally. Condition: Binding shows some wear with bumped edge a moderate level of spotting and other soiling most pronounced on the pebbled cloth of front board and small areas with rubbing. Hinge crack by title page. Other than occasional light stains the book is clean tight and we would say a highly attractive copy of the work. Colnaghi and Puckle. Printed by Cook & Co.

Kuntres mi-Sefer ha-Zohar Hibbura Tinyana BOUND WITH Sefer Iggeret ha-Kodesh AND Nevu’at ha-Yeled AND Herev Nokemet Nekam Berit

178248885Berlin and Dessau: Hevrat Hinukh Neâ€˜arim Berlin Freischule/n.p. 1782. First editions 2 of 4. Hardcover. Nearly Fine. Sammelband of four opuscules published between 1782 and 1819 octavo. Contemporary half calf top inch perished over pastepaper boards; spine lettered and tooled in gilt. Edges speckled blue. Covers lightly worn else fine clean copies the fourth work lightly foxed throughout. The first three works issued from the Hevrat Hinukh Ne'arim Berlin Freischule under the supervision of Isaac Satanow 1732-1804 the most prolific Hebrew writer of the Berlin Haskalah. As director of the publishing house Satanow was assigned the task of reissuing old Hebrew classics by the Marpeh ha-Nefesh a philanthropic group headed by the banker Daniel Itzig his son-in-law David FriedlÃ¤nder and the famous physican and philosopher Marcus Herz. A number of these editions however were in fact original works by Satanow which he presented as the work of earlier writers. The first item in the sammelband is an outstanding example of this latter type. I. Kuntres mi-Sefer ha-Zohar Hibura Tinyana Berlin: Hevrat Hinukh Neâ€˜arim 1783. aleph-gimel8 dalet1; 25ff. Vinograd Berlin 313. First edition of this polemic styled in imitation of the Zohar as a response to the Mitpahat Sefarim 1768 of Jacob Emden 1697-1776 in which the latter calls into question the antiquity and textual integrity of that chief work of the Jewish mystical tradition. Emden's critique may be understood as an attempt to undermine the doctrinal foundation of the Frankists who based their beliefs on the Zohar. "Emden had suspected the authenticity of the Zohar for a long time and he hoped some time 'to reveal the strange things found in the book.' But these intentions were secretly nursed within him for many years until the time was propitious for his exposÃ©" Cohen. Perhaps surprisingly for a maskil Satanow held a very different view: "While advocating secular knowledge and the study of science Satanow also expressed great admiration for Kabbalah. In contrast to Emden he claims that the whole Zohar was written by Bar Yohai and Moses De Leon had nothing to do with its writing. He also rejects Emden's claim that in the Zohar there are words against the Talmud and promises to 'consult the Zohar and prove that all its words are right and truthful none of them is crooked Kuntres mi-Sefer ha-Zohar pp. 25 26" N. Rezler-Bersohn. Born in the Polish now Ukrainian town of Satanov Isaac Satanow settled in Berlin around 1771. "Among the most prolific of the early Haskalah writers. Satanow demonstrated a wealth of knowledge of the Hebrew language ranking as a model stylest throughout the Haskalah period" EJ 14: 905-906. As a leading representive of the eighteenth-century Jewish Enlightement Satanow boldly displayed a "conglomeration of contrasts" Jewish Enc. XI: 71: â€œThough Orthodox in his beliefs he nevertheless favored Reform in practice. He was one of the greatest authorities on Jewish tradition and lore yet he was one of the most free-thinking of philosophers.â€ For a more detailed discussion of this and other works by Satanow see N. Rezler-Bersohn "Isaac Satanow - An Epitome of an Era" in: Year Book XXV Leo Baeck Institute 1980. For Emden in the present context see M. L. Cohen Jacob Emden A Man of Controversy Philadelphia: The Dropsie College 1937 pp. 254ff. II. Sefer Igeret ha-Kodesh Berlin 553 1793. 7ff. Vinograd Berlin 415. Later edition of this well-known work. The celebrated talmudist and exegete Nachmanides the Ramban Moses ben Nachman ca. 1195-ca. 1270 acted as a conciliator between the parties in the early 13th-century controversies surrounding the philosophical and secular direction of Maimonides' growing influence. "After having given the earlier part of his life to his Talmudical works Moses Nachmanides devoted himself to writing of a homiletic-exegetic and devotional character. To these belong the "Iggeret ha-Kodesh" and the "Torat ha-Adam." In the former which deals with the holiness and significance of marriage Moses criticizes Maimonides for stigmatizing as a disgrace to man certain of the desires implanted in the human body. In Moses' opinion the body with all its functions being the work of God none of its impulses can be regarded as intrinsically objectionable" Jewish Enc. IX:88. The rare editio princeps appeared at Rome in 1546; the editor of the present edition Isaac Satanow notes at the title that the letter was â€œprinted in Basel in the year 5340â€ referring to the 1580 edition of Ambrosius Froben Prijs 127. III. Nevuâ€™at ha-Yeled Berlin: Hevrat Hinukh Neâ€˜arim 549 1789. asterisk8 2asterisk2. 10 unnumbered leaves. Vinograd Berlin 384. Later edition of a medieval Hebrew short story with commentary first printed at the end of Jacob Zemah's Sefer Nagid u-Metzaveh Constantinople 1726. "The body of the tale is followed by a number of occult prophecies in Aramaic. it was known already as early as the end of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th when some kabbalists among them R. Abraham b. Eliezer ha-Levi wrote commentaries on the prophecies. The story tells of a wonder child Nahman born in the fifth century to a kabbalist; the child died very young but immediately upon birth began to tell his mother secrets of the heavenly worlds. His father cautioned him not to reveal mysteries forbidden to man and from then the child spoke only obscurely and enigmatically. Modern scholars have attempted to date the story and the prophecies therein by tracing known historical events hinted at and relating them to the text. The obscurity of the text makes this very difficult but it seems probable that historical events in the 15th century especially in the East are referred to in the prophecies. However the purpose of the story and its prophecies was to anticipate the coming of the Messiah and to describe the major political and historical events and catastrophes bringing about his final revelation. The kabbalists interpreted the prophecies as hinting at the coming of the Messiah in the early 16th century" JE XII:1020. Here the commentary on the Aramaic "prophecies" is likely attributable to Satanow. IV. Herev Nokemet Nekam Berit Dessau 5579 1819. 16pp. Vinograd Dessau 77. First edition of this famous polemical letter. A leader of the Reform movement Meyer Israel Bresselau d. 1839 together with I. S. Fraenkel edited and adapted in 1818 a prayer book for the Hamburg Reform Temple under the title Seder ha-Avodah. He anonymously published the present work in response to Eleh Divrei ha-Berit Altona 1819 "a pamphlet which collated the views of the greatest Orthodox rabbis of Western Europe against Reform Judaism and its innovations." A rhymed work written in a satirical biblical style Herev Nokemet is "remarkable in its witty take-off on the Orthodox rabbis who opposed the reforms in the Hamburg Reform synagogue. It ranks among the best Hebrew polemic literature written at the time of the Haskalah" EJ 4:1358 In response Meir Leib Reinitz published his Lahat ha-Herev ha-Mithappekhet in 1820. Bresselau's polemic was reprinted as an appendix to Bernfelds's Toledot ha-Reformazyon ha-Datit be-Yisrael in 1900. ×§×•× ×˜×¨×¡ ×ž×¡×¤×¨ ×”×–×”×¨ ×—×™×‘×•×¨× ×ª× ×™×™× × ×¡×¤×¨ ××’×¨×ª ×”×§×“×© × ×‘×•××ª ×”×™×œ×“ ×—×¨×‘ × ×§×ž×ª × ×§× ×‘×¨×™×ª.

1893 Letter Agreeing to Emigration of Japanese Agricultural Workers to Brazil

1893541904Japan 1893. Hardcover. Near Fine/Near Fine. Quarto sheet. Measuring 8¼" x 10½". Holograph letter with two Japanese stamps hanko. Neat old folds from mailing near fine. An 1893 letter from The Nippon Yoshisa Imin Kaisha Emigration Company to John Middleton & Company of Yokohama responding to a proposal to have Japanese workers emigrate to San Paulo Brazil to fill jobs in the agricultural sector. The deal "provided the sanction of the Japanese Govt. can be obtained" agrees to a five year term of service at a monthly wage of 33 with "all other terms the same as the Japanese Emmigrants in Queensland Australia." A third entity Carlisle & Co. a London-based shipping company is referenced as proposing the offer and terms to The Nippon Yoshisa Imin Kaisha on behalf of Middleton. According to The New York Times obituary of owner John Middleton he was a businessman originally from Mystic Connecticut who served as a tea broker in New York City starting in 1855. In 1860 he left for China working for various firms until 1871 when he established Middleton & Company with headquarters in Yokahama and a branch in New York City. He died in April 1893 eight months before this letter. Following the end of feudalism in Japan the rural parts of the country fell into poverty forcing workers to look for work outside the country. Unfortunately various exclusion policies by majority white nations such as America and Australia prevented the Japanese from entering the country. Brazil was one destination open to them. A treaty between the two countries in 1907 opened the doors for large movement of Japanese emigrants leading to a Brazil population today consisting of nearly 2 million residents of Japanese decent the largest population outside of Japan. This early document shows an early attempt to lease some workers to Brazil which at the time was suffering from a massive labor shortage. A similar effort appears to have been achieved by Middleton & Co. in Queensland Australia as reference at the end of the document. An interesting document of early Japanese emigrants to Brazil worthy additional research. hardcover
