The Story of the Iliad Edited for School Use

[Women's Education] [Companionate Marriage] Ward, Hetta L; Reverend Ward; Susan HayesBiblio.com

Memoirs of Mrs. Hetta L. Ward with Selections from her Writings Presentation Copy

18434025Berkeley: T.R. Marvin 1843. First edition. Very Good . Original publisher's cloth binding with gilt to front board. Minor loss of cloth to crown of spine. Faint residue of removed library label to spine and front board. Peach endpapers. Light scattered foxing as is typical of the period. Inscribed on the front endpaper by Ward's husband the compiler: "Reverend Mr. Ellingwood with the respects of J.W. Ward." Bookplate on the front pastedown reveals that the recipient Rev. Ellingwood went on to donate the volume to the Theological Seminary of Bangor Maine. A scarce and important example of a published American elegiac volume produced in this case by an eminent family to mourn the loss of an educated woman. Memoirs is unrecorded by OCLC and has never appeared at auction. In their marriage James Wilson Ward and Hetta Lord Hayes Ward united two prominent Northeastern families. A senator and Congregationalist minister James descended from the founders of Plymouth and had attended Andover and Amherst. Hetta the daughter of a judge and niece of a Dartmouth president was herself a graduate of Miss Grant's Seminary Academy. The present volume released "exclusively for private circulation among the friends of the deceased" is a testament to Hetta's value not as a daughter who married well or a wife who effectively managed a house but as a companion an intellectual and an individual. In this sense it deconstructs the period's expectations of separate spheres or hierarchy between sexes. With an opening letter by Susan Hayes Hetta's mother as well as a copy of the eulogy conducted by her husband the book reveals vast details about who Hetta was as a person. Both describe her as tender and affectionate; but time and again emphasis is placed on her mind. Though Hetta was skillful with a needle as a child according to her mother "her numberless questions interested and surprised me.She acquired a fondness for poetry.She became as much interested in the in the study of the exact sciences as in the works of imagination making herself acquainted with the higher branches of Mathematics Algebra Geometry etc." James similarly eulogizes his wife. What becomes clear is that he is grieving the loss of a companion and equal. "If we have found a friend of distinguished excellence and for years rejoiced with that friend in mutual interchange and warm affections it is natural when death intervenes and separates us from the dear object of our love to contemplate their virtues.First characteristic which I would notice which she possessed in an eminent degree is an ardent love of truth.She possessed great powers of abstraction.She saw with great clearness the point of an argument and was quick to distinguish between sophistry.She loved to trace the workings of the human mind." Not satisfied simply to have their own testaments to Hetta's extraordinary mind the compilers included to the last half of the book a collection of her own poetry and prose. A scarce work in a genre underappreciated in American literature and history. Such coterie publications of intimate mourning were uncommon for the time particularly for a woman.

MONTAGNANA, BartolomeoMareMagnum

Bartholomaei Montagnanae ... Consilia 305. In quibus agitur de uniuersis fere aegritudinibus, humano corpori euenientibus: & mira facilitate, curandi eas adhibetur modus. Post haec accedunt tractatus tres De balneis Patauinis: hoc est, de situ, aspectu, minera, ac viribus eorundem. Praeterea sequitur breuissimus ordo, ac ratio medicinas praeparandi: & sub qua dosi debent exhiberi. Una cum antidotario omnium refertissimo. Recens omnia summa fide, ac diligentia in lucem edita: & a mendis, quibus scatebant, repurgata. Affectus vero omnes, quibus de agitur in his consilijs, sequens index aperte indicat

In-folio, (8), 369pp, (1), legatura in pergamena coeva, titolo manoscritto al dorso; rilegato con Tractatus tres de balneis Patavinis e con Tractatus de modo componendi Medicinas, & de dosi earum, e Antidotarium. Medico di origine veneta morto nel 1460, esercitò a Padova anche come insegnante presso la locale e prestigiosa Università di medicina, dove dai documenti risulta professore dal 1422 al 1441. La sua opera Consilia, stampata nei primi decenni del secolo successivo, è molto conosciuta e apprezzata. Viene anche ricordato per l’attività di chirurgo ed esperto di anatomia: si dice che abbia eseguito personalmente quattordici dissezioni complete. Trattandosi di uno studioso quattrocentesco, i suoi interessi botanici sono strettamente legati alla sua attività di medico nella preparazione dei medicamenti che provenivano per la maggior parte dal mondo vegetale. Il prestigio dei Consilia durerà per alcuni secoli e molti saranno gli autori di medicina che attingeranno alle sue informazioni scientifiche e alla struttura del libro, organizzato sapientemente nella discussione di 305 casi clinici comprendenti tutta la materia medica conosciuta, chirurgia e anatomia comprese. In-folio, (8), 369pp, (1), contemporary vellum binding, handwritten title on the spine; bound with Tractatus tres de balneis Patavinis and with Tractatus de modo componendi Medicinas, & de dosi earum, and Antidotarium. Doctor of Venetian origin who died in 1460, he also practiced in Padua as a teacher at the local and prestigious University of Medicine, where the documents prove him as professor from 1422 to 1441. His work Consilia, printed in the first decades of the following century, is well known and appreciated. He is also remembered for his activity as a surgeon and anatomy expert: he is said to have personally performed fourteen complete dissections. Being a fifteenth-century scholar, his botanical interests are closely linked to his activity as a doctor in the preparation of medicines that mostly came from the plant world. The prestige of the Consilia will last for a few centuries and many medical authors will draw on its scientific information and on the structure of the book, expertly organized in the discussion of 305 clinical cases including all known materia medica, surgery and anatomy included.

Cavo Padre Andres and Carlos Maria de Bustamante.ABAA

Los Tres Siglos de Mexico durante el Gobierno Espanol hasta la Entrada del Ejercito Trigarante .

18367554Mexico: Abadiano y Valdes 1836 - 38. First edition. 4 vols. 4to viii 281; 158; viii 419; viii 281 pp. Vols. 1-2 edited by Bustamante from the MS: Historia civil y politica de Mexico; vols. 3-4 constitute the editor's supplement. The work is ofrten bound in two volumes but here we have it in four. Cavo was a Jesuit a native of Mexico and expelled from the country along with the others of his order in 1767. Although he made a great effort to return to Mexico later in his life dissociating himself from the Jesuits and travelling to Spain to do so but he did not succeed. The rest of his life was spent in Rome where he died in great poverty in 1803. Beristain de Souza has almost nothing to say about him as his work was not discovered until the 1830's when Bustamante ran across the manuscript in a private episcopal library and theeafter took charge of having it published with his additions.The first two books are Cavo's up to the expulsion and despite the title is a history of viceregal Mexico City.Wikipedia says: "The work is not a history in the usual sense. It is better described as the annals of Mexico City with particular emphasis on the development of political ideas. The book also contains details of colonial life that are not available in any other source. Cavo shows signs of Mexican not Spanish colonial nationality and for this reason is considered a forerunner of Mexican independence. Porrua Diccionario states that his was the first history of Viceregal Mexico. The last two volumes are by Bustamante himself an important Mexican historian after independence associated with the liberal party and they are a continuation up to 1821 being of a broader scope and containing some important documents also not published before. Bound in contemporary calf leather over speckled boards titles and fillets in gilt on spines. Very good set. Abadiano y Valdes hardcover books

A COLLECTION OF SERMONS WITH MILLER'S MANUSCRIPT NOTES BY THE PROMINENT MINISTER OF THE UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH IN NEW YORK CITY

181234742New York: various 1812. Ten sermons bound in contemporary half sheep and marbled boards rubbed gum label at spine base. Rubberstamp on blank front pastedown. Manuscript table of contents. Each sermon as follows: 1. A SERMON PREACHED IN NEW-YORK JULY 4TH 1793. BEING THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE INDEPENDENCE OF AMERICA: AT THE REQUEST OF THE TAMMANY SOCIETY OR COLUMBIAN ORDER. BY.ONE OF THE MINISTERS OF THE UNITED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCHES IN THE CITY OF NEW-YORK. New York: Greenleaf. 1793. 38 2 blanks pp. Very Good. On the final blank is Miller's written notes. The Tammany Society should "stand as guardians over those inestimable rights and privileges which have been so dearly purchased." Christianity teaches the equality of all. Slavery will "be forever banished from a nation" which regards everyone "as subject to the same great laws and amenable to the same awful tribunal in the end." Evans 25823. 2. A DISCOURSE DELIVERED IN THE NEW PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH NEW-YORK: BEFORE THE GRAND LODGE OF THE STATE OF NEW-YORK AND THE BRETHREN OF THAT FRATERNITY ASSEMBLED IN GENERAL COMMUNICATION ON THE FESTIVAL OF ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST JUNE 24TH 1795. New York: Childs. 1795. 32pp. Light to moderate foxing Good. Verso of title page has Miller's notes laid in explaining another of his discourses should have been inserted. His Discourse says Masonic principles "are such as the blessed Redeemer perpetually dropped from his hallowed lips." Evans 29081. 3. A SERMON DELIVERED FEBRUARY 5 1799; RECOMMENDED BY THE CLERGY OF THE CITY OF NEW-YORK TO BE OBSERVED AS A DAY OF THANKSGIVING HUMILIATION AND PRAYER ON ACCOUNT OF THE REMOVAL OF A MALIGNANT AND MORTAL DISEASE WHICH HAD PREVAILED IN THE CITY SOME TIME BEFORE. New York: Forman. 1799. 36pp scattered foxing. Good. With a chart showing 2082 deaths listed by religions including eleven Jews; also listing forty-three Negroes. Evans 35821. Not in Austin. 4. A SERMON DELIVERED MAY 9 1798 RECOMMENDED BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES TO BE OBSERVED AS A DAY OF GENERAL HUMILIATION FASTING AND PRAYER. New-York: Swords. 1798. 46 2 blanks pp. Very Good. The "events in Europe" are characterized by atheism profaneness a "selfish and mercenary spirit." Miller warns against the "curse" of "European connections." Evans 34109. 5. A SERMON DELIVERED DECEMBER 29 1799; OCCASIONED BY THE DEATH OF GENERAL GEORGE WASHINGTON LATE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND COMMANDER IN CHIEF OF THE AMERICAN ARMIES. New York: Swords. 1800. 39 1 blank pp with the half title. Light toning Very Good. Evidently Miller's sermon was similar to one delivered by Dr. Erskine of Edinburgh because an 'Advertisement' on the verso of the title page denies that "such coincidence" was the result of plagiarism. Evans 37964. Stillwell 171a. 6. A SERMON DELIVERED BEFORE THE NEW-YORK MISSIONARY SOCIETY. APRIL 6TH 1802.

The Folklore Manners Customs and Languages of the South Australian Aborigines: gathered from Inquiries made by Authority of the South Australian Government. First Series all published

1879144271Adelaide: E. Spiller Acting Government Printer 1879. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Adelaide E. Spiller Acting Government Printer 1879. Octavo viii 174 2 24 'The Grammar of the Narrinyeri Tribe' xii lithographed 'Facsimiles of Letters Written by Aborigines' one leaf folding 2 25-28 index pages including a page of lithographed music plus 9 lithographs from drawings by Aboriginal artists and 7 original albumen silver photographs 3 are approximately 105 × 145 mm; 4 are approximately 115 × 95 mm mounted on captioned leaves. Original green cloth attractively blocked in gilt on the front board and in blind at the rear; spine ruled and lettered in gilt; covers a little worn and marked with the binding a little shaken; acidic paper tanned with the folding facsimile document splitting at one fold; mounts a little cockled; trifling loss to the corner-tip of one photograph; page 29 printed close to the right-hand edge an imposition error during production; a few mild signs of age and handling; a very good copy of a rare and important work with the photographs in excellent condition. An early ownership signature on an initial blank is proving difficult to decipher Ruppard Sheppard. The original photographs that illustrate the book are almost certainly the work of Captain Samuel Sweet see Robert Holden: 'Photography in Colonial Australia. The Mechanical Eye and the Illustrated Book' 1988. We have handled a number of copies of this work and this copy conforms with what we suggest might be called the first and most desirable issue of these photographs. The substance of the book was derived from a 48-question circular compiled by George Taplin and 'distributed to all the keepers of aborigines' depots throughout the colony and to all persons who are known to be acquainted with the manners customs and languages of the aborigines'; the value of the work may be judged by the editor's remark in the introduction 'that much information has been elicited and that most of the papers show that the writers have used their powers of observation in an intelligent manner'. The untimely death of Taplin in June 1879 at the early age of 47 may account for the failure of further volumes in the series to materialize. Ferguson 16711; Holden 105 and pages 49-51. E.

Audubon, John James & Bachman, The Reverend John .Biblio.com

PL 111 Musk Ox

18494369New York:: V.G. Audubon 1849-54. First Royal Octavo Edition. Fine with original hand-coloring. A fine original hand-colored lithograph on paper. Royal Octavo 10.5 x 7 inches. Drawn from nature by John Audubon drawn on stone by William E. Hitchcock and lithographed printed and colored by JT Bowen Philadelphia. Accompanied by the original text written by the Reverend John Bachman DD. The Quadrupeds of North America; portrayals of 155 four-legged mammals native to North America depicted in their natural environment was a collaborative effort between the premier nineteenth century American Ornithologist Naturalist Artist and Frontiersman John James Audubon 1785-1851 his sons John Woodhouse Audubon and Victor Gifford Audubon and the naturalist Reverend John Bachman. The four men were unified in their desire to document and portray what they recognized as a dwindling resource; America's native animals amidst the natural beauty of the untouched American landscape. Their collective wisdom predicted the impending effects of Manifest Destiny- man's encroachment on the wilderness and natural landscape of North America- and as such was the impetus for the journey. To document and then portray America's native animals in the splendor and majesty of the uninhabited North American landscape the team traveled westward from Audubon's home in Mill Grove Pennsylvania up the Missouri River and through territory just previously explored by Lewis and Clark; from the Canadian border of the Northern Russian Territories- now Alaska- then southward to Mexico. Arduous and monumental the journey is recognized in the pathos of the compositions. However the true legacy of the work rests on John James Audubon's prolific vision and mastery of his subject and medium. Heretofore unseen The Quadrupeds of North American is a wildlife classic: an essential and timeless contribution to both Early American culture and the Art of American Wildlife Painting. The American Review a Whig journal heralded the national origin of the Quadrupeds: "We have at last have a Great National Work; originated and completed among us- authors artists and artisans of which are our own citizens the Bible of Nature!"
