"black letter" was the first complete Bible printed in "Lancaster Penn" and the=> first folio German Bible printed in America: It was an impressive production large in size set on good paper and the type pleasantly laid out and neatly impressed in double-column format.

Henry and showing Moses with the tables of the law is appealing.<br>Â Â Â Â In the preliminaries the double-column text includes a brief biography of Luther and an essay by the famous Pietist August Herman Franke 16631727 advising how to read Scripture. The printer was only 19 years old when he undertook this massive project and despite the numerous subscribers listed on five preliminary pages in four-cloumn format he was nearly bankrupted by the enterprise.<br>Â Â Â Â In the upper outer corner of the front pastedown is the large printed binder's label of "Henrich Miller buchbinder in der Ost Dranien Strasse gegeneuber der Lancaster. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â O'Callaghan 146; Shaw & Shoemaker 47206; Arndt & Eck German Language Printing in the U.S. 2363.

181565189Lenox Mass 1815. Single sheet 24.5 x 20 cm. partly printed completed in manuscript. Old folds heavily foxed. For $60.00 Gale sells one bark mill and grants to Elias Gould of Henniker County of Hillsborough NH "the full and exclusive right and liberty of using the said Bark-Mill in the town and county aforesaid." Signed by Gale and witnessed probably by his wife dated in ink September 11 1815. See RINK 1394 for one copy of an 1818 broadside printed in Lenox which takes note of a patent infringement for this patent; and for the grant of patent right see RINK 1392 which is an 1813 notification that Gale has purchased exclusive right to C. Tobey's patent bark mill. Presumably this is a somewhat different machine than our 1811 Gale patent. This broadside is not listed in Rink or Imprints. <br/><br/> unknown books
1900136802Philadelphia & London: J. B. Lippincott Company 1900. Octavo pp. 1-6 7-308 309-320: ads frontispiece with illustration by Virginia H. Davisson title page printed in red and black original pictorial white cloth front and spine panels stamped in red and purple rear panel stamped in red binding signed "H" t.e.g. other edges untrimmed. First edition. A presentation copy with initialed inscription by Long on the front free endpaper: "Das heist vergiss-mein-nich" This means "forget-me-not". "If the exotic quality in Lafcadio Hearn was made authentic by observation that of John Luther Long 1861-1927 was largely the product of his imagination at times of high order and one that has not had proper appreciation either in fiction or drama. He was never in Japan but inspired by information which he received from his sister Mrs. Irwin Currell he established an atmosphere which has the illusion of reality and from it he evolved one character at least of supreme importance who has passed into world literature . Long continued his exotic romance in THE FOX WOMAN 1900 an imaginative novel of a crippled Japanese artist and his worship of a beautiful but soulless American woman to whom he is just a passing whim. She is the 'Fox Woman' of the Japanese who is without a soul. For her own pleasure she models him after the hideous Ni-O figures and in order to please her he tries to look like these grotesques until he grows as bestial as they and his soul becomes subject to his body just as before his ugly body had been made noble in the eyes of his wife Jewel by the splendor of his soul. Long uses effectively the utter submission of a Japanese wife to her husband's will in Marushida's present to Miss Carroway of Jewel for her body servant. The inevitable discovery on the artist's part of his abandonment by the goddess and the return of Jewel are told simply and naturally." - Quinn American Fiction pp. 516-518. Long is best known for his long short story "Madame Butterfly" dramatized in collaboration with David Belasco later made into the famous opera by Puccini. Wright III 3388. Stamping on spine panel faded mild dust soiling to rear panel a very good copy. A very nice copy of a rare vampire novel. #136802 J. B. Lippincott Company unknown books
