1953111689New York: The Viking Press 1953. First edition of Bellow's first National Book Award winning novel. Octavo original cloth salmon topstain. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper "For Ann Englander whom I protected from the angry wolves Saul Bellow." Fine in a near fine price-clipped first-issue dust jacket with the John Steinbeck ad on the rear flap and no reviews. Jacket design by Robert Hallock. An exceptional example. The Adventures of Augie March comes on stage with one of literature's most famous opening lines. "I am an American Chicago born and go at things as I have taught myself free-style and will make the record in my own way: first to knock first admitted." Bellow quickly found a receptive audience for his new energetic style. The critic Irving Howe took note of Bellow's "free style" manner calling it "the first major new style in American prose fiction since those of Hemingway and Faulkner." This novel went on to win the National Book Award for 1954. Both Time Magazine and the Modern Library Board named it one of the hundred best novels in the English language. The Viking Press hardcover
1913150527London: John Richmond Ltd 1913. Presentation copy of Sassoon's pseudonymous parody inscribed to the distinguished antiquarian bookseller and scholar Percy Muir First edition first impression presentation copy inscribed by the author on the half-title: "P. H. Muir from Siegfried Sassoon 4.10.29"; one of 1000 copies printed highly uncommon in such condition. A pseudonymous parody of John Masefield's early narrative poems The Daffodil Murderer was published as the winner of the entirely fictional "Chantrey Prize" and wryly advertised as "Brilliant Beyond Belief" on the front wrapper. The recipient of this copy was Percy Muir 1894-1979 the distinguished antiquarian bookseller and scholar of children's books. Sassoon inscribed this copy to Muir in the year before Muir joined the London antiquarian booksellers Elkin Mathews Limited. Muir joined the firm in 1930 and remained with them until his death. Muir was president of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association from 1945-1947 and chaired the first conference of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers ILAB in 1947. He became president of the ILAB from 1950-1952 and was subsequently elected the first Life President of Honour. His major work English Children's Books was published in 1954. Sassoon's poem is frequently cited as a parody of John Masefield's long narrative poem The Everlasting Mercy published in 1911. Masefield's work was read in pubs denounced from pulpits and branded in the words of Lord Alfred Douglas "nine-tenths sheer filth". The original publishers were sufficiently worried about prosecution to leave blank spaces where Masefield had written the word "bloody" and it was later claimed by Robert Graves that Masefield's innovative diction emboldened Shaw to use the word in Pygmalion. J. M. Barrie called the work "the finest literature" Edmund Gosse noted that in it was "a happy blending of the traditional and the revolutionary" and Masefield was duly awarded the Royal Society of Literature's Edmond de Polignac prize for 1911. Masefield had hit a rich-seam in poetry and followed The Everlasting Mercy with The Widow in the Bye Street published in 1912 Dauber published in 1912 and The Daffodil Fields published in 1913. Sassoon appears to have been rather frustrated at literature's latest craze and he sat down to write his own version and created a parody of Masefield's general style diction and subjects across The Everlasting Mercy The Widow in the Bye Street and The Daffodil Fields. There were two results of Sassoon's parody. The first was that in many ways it had helped Sassoon find a poetic voice. In The Weald of Youth Sassoon describes how in December 1912 the thought struck him: "Why not amuse myself by scribbling a few pages of parody I may as well say at once that the immediate result was far beyond what I had intended. I began his story in crudest imitation of Masefield's manner. Stimulating my pencil with an occasional dose of The Everlasting Mercy I found myself corking down the 'human document' with astonishing facility. After the first fifty lines or so I dropped the pretence that I was improvising an exuberant skit. While continuing to burlesque Masefield for all I was worth I was really feeling what I wrote - and doing it not only with abundant delight but a sense of descriptive energy quite unlike anything I had experienced before. Never before had I been able to imbue commonplace details with warmth of poetic emotion. I felt that. I had found a new pair of poetic legs and the fact that they had been graciously presented to me by John Masefield made no difference to my sense of self-satisfaction". The other result of publishing The Daffodil Murderer was that it brought Sassoon to the attention of Edward Marsh - the editor of Georgian Poetry - and Marsh soon became Sassoon's mentor. Despite the parody Sassoon and Masefield met during November 1918. Masefield's Great War poem Reynard the Fox undoubtedly owes some inspiration from Sassoon Masefield advised Sassoon on a forthcoming lecture tour of the United States Masefield sent letters introducing Sassoon to some of his closest American friends Sassoon dedicated the American edition of Picture-Show to Masefield Sassoon was invited to one of Masefield's festivals of spoken poetry in 1930 and in 1957 Sassoon was the recipient of the Queen's Medal for Poetry an idea devised by Masefield.

1959164968No place: The Association for Symbolic Logic Inc. March 1959. A seminal work of modern philosophy First edition first printing of the author's first major work published when he was only 18 years old which provided the foundations for Kripke's innovations in modal logic and semantics. Saul Kripke 1940-2022 was "one of the most penetrating minds of our time. His achievements span the disciplines of philosophy logic and mathematics. From his post at Princeton University where he was James McCosh Professor of Philosophy and his previous post at Rockefeller University Kripke established a towering reputation as one of the two or three most eminent philosophers in the English-speaking world.Kripke's contributions to philosophy have extended the boundaries of the most unfamiliar and technical regions of modern analytic philosophy - where philosophical reasoning intermingles with abstract mathematic theory. He worked in the field of modal logic a branch of formal logic that has introduced ways to distinguish kinds of true statements. Before Kripke modal logicians - including the inventor of modal logic C. I. Lewis - did not have the mathematical tools to analyze many of the most important kinds of English sentences. One of Kripke's major achievements was the invention of 'possible world semantics' a form of modal logic that has shown to the satisfaction of most philosophers that the common-sense understanding of the concepts 'possibility' and 'necessity' in true statements can be mathematically proved" Branch p. 180. Octavo pp. 1-14 in the journal. Original buff wrappers printed in black. A couple of tears to spine chip at foot neatly reglued contents clean: a near-fine copy.
