1886000610NNEW YORK CITY NY. Very Good. 1886. On offer is an original typed letter signed TLS dated The Society for Ethical Culture NY April 14 1886 1-1/2 pages by Felix Adler 1851-1933 Jewish rationalist intellectual popular lecturer religious leader and social reformer who founded the Ethical Culture movement. Although not mentioned by name this was written to Douglas Volk the American artist noted for his famous portrait of Abraham Lincoln that was used for the postage stamp. Also of note this letter comes on the heels of Volk's founding of the Minneapolis School of Fine Art Minnesota now the Minneapolis College of Art and Design and served as its director until 1893. Adler writes: "My Dear Friend: I must send you a few lines even if they be brief and printed in the stiff letters of the typewriter which you must excuse. I want to tell you simply how dear your kind words are to me and how I treasure and shall always treasure your precious friendship. I am glad to learn that your first days in Minneapolis have been spent in bright sunshine and I trust it may be a favorable augury for the near and distant future. You have indeed a great work before you and it must cheer and inspire you to feel that you are to plant your great and holy art in virgin and fruitful soil. I shall follow your progress with constant and undeviating sympathy you may be sure and I trust you will not fail to keep me informed even of every little thing that occurs in your life of every little sign of progress and of every disappointment for these too of course will not be wanting. With kindest and sincerest good-wishes from all of us to all of you and especially to you your friend Felix Adler." BIO NOTES: At the age of twenty-four Adler founded the New York Society for Ethical Culture in 1876. His sermon on May 15 1876 is considered to be the date on which the religion he called Ethical Culture was established. His lectures before this society on Sundays in New York were well known and attended and were routinely reported on in the New York Times. Adler's belief in deed rather than creed led his society to foster two innovative projects. In 1877 the NYSEC sponsored Visiting Nursing where nurses and doctors if necessary visited the homebound sick in poor districts. This service was eventually incorporated into the New York City health system. A year later in 1878 a Free Kindergarten was established as a tuition-free school for working people's children. It evolved over time into the Ethical Culture Fieldston School. In 1902 Adler was given the chair of political and social ethics at Columbia University which he held until his death in 1933.

17704695Mexico 1770. Good plus. 3pp. on a bifolium. Previously folded. Completed in manuscript with additional later manuscript annotations. Some edge wear and staining. Light tanning and scattered foxing. An attractively illustrated and scarce example of a confraternity patent for a religious order in mid-18th century Mexico. This bifolium confers membership to and lists the benefits for those inducted into the congregation of the Parish of San Sebastian and was filled out and given to Sebastian Fabian Mendoza on September 29 1770. The first leaf recto is attractively printed containing a skillful engraved illustration of the Virgin Mary accompanied by St. Joseph and St. Sebastian on each side with Jesus holding the Eucharist in a cloud over head and decorated with numerous detailed printers' ornaments. The text on this page prints the principal benefits of membership which include assistance with all burial rites upon death twenty-five pesos paid to surviving family following the same and inclusion in all masses said for the congregation as well as in all graces and indulgenced received by it. The interior two pages print a list of sixteen indulgences conferred upon the congregation by Pope Benedict XIV. Most interestingly several manuscript notes on the second leaf of the bifolium each dated from 1807 record that the recipient of the patent passed away earlier that month in September that he received burial rites in accordance with his membership and that twenty-five pesos was paid out by the treasury of the congregation. Scarce we locate one other copy of this patent at the University of Pennsylvania; the Newberry holds a copy of a later edition with a different illustration. A very interesting document of popular piety and local religious organization in 18-century Mexico. unknown

18074567Mexico City 1807. Very good. Letterpress broadside illustrated with large engraving 12 x 8.25 inches. Minor wear and foxing engraving printed slightly off register. An evocative and rare Mexican broadside relating the story of Italian Jesuit Francesco de Geronimo 1642-1716. The portrait was executed by Francisco Gordillo also the chief assayer of the Mexico City mint. This broadside was produced the year following Francesco's beatification in 1806; he was later canonized as a saint in 1839. This "Very Light Sketch of the Life of Francisco" includes a biographical history of Geronimo as well as a physical description and information on his beatification and burial. <br /> <br /> "St. Francis wanted to be sent to preach in the Far East but the Jesuit authorities wanted him to stay in Naples which was the centre of his apostolic labours. He worked through the 'Oratorio delle Missioni' an organization of working men which functioned as a sickness benefit and funeral society. His preaching was famous: sometimes he would bring a skull to the pulpit at others scourge his bare shoulders with an iron chain until they bled. He established hostels for reformed prostitutes and their children. His beatification postponed by the suppression of the Jesuit order finally took place in 1806 and his canonisation in 1839" - New Catholic Encyclopedia.<br /> <br /> Rare at auction and with only five copies in OCLC at the California State Library Boston College University of Pennsylvania the JCB Mathes copy and the Wellcome Library. unknown

1688000125London: Printed by J.B. and sold by Randal Taylor 1688. First Edition. . Hardcover. See Description. Small 4to. pp. 6 34. With imprimatur leaf facing the title. Bound in 19th century marbled boards rubbed. Re-backed in black morocco with older gilt lettered spine laid on. Bookplate depicting a baron's crown on inside front cover. Sticker removed from front end paper. Booklet is trimmed on the bottom obscuring the lower printed border line on the title page but not affecting any text. Plenty of space remains in the margins of the text pages. 40 sheets of 19th century blank paper are bound in the rear. Top edge gilt. The author is actually Henry Keepe writing under the pseudonym of Charles Taylour. His booklet addressed to King James II describes how he Keepe salvaged the crucifix and gold chain of Edward the Confessor from a damaged tomb at Westminster and how he later presented this treasure to the newly crowned king. The author claims that his discovery of the artifact on June 11 1685 was a "forerunner of the Good News" that James had defeated his enemies presumably the Duke of Monmouth. Keepe then relates three previous occasions when King Edward's body was disinterred. On each occasion the corpse was supposedly found in a miraculously uncorrupted state. These stories stand in some contrast to the author's own experience. Although Keepe stresses that the tomb's artifacts including the gold chain and crucifix correspond to historical accounts he also reveals perhaps inadvertently that the Confessor's body was nothing but bones. Unusual and scarce piece. ESTC locates only 7 copies in the U.S. OCLC lists 5 locations.
