179539807London: Printed and Sold by Daniel Isaac Eaton Printer and Bookseller to the Supreme Majesty of the People at the Cock and Swine 1795. Modern plain wrappers and stitching. 54pp. Light browning Very Good.<br /> <br /> The publisher Daniel Eaton was a persistent challenger of British efforts to curtail speech critical of the Crown and government. He had been arrested and acquitted for publishing Paine's 'Rights of Man" and then for publishing a comparison of the King of England to a Game Cock. <br /> This pamphlet's thesis is that "Britain is on the brink of ruin. . . Corruption and distress walking hand in hand through the country; and war eternally compleating the triumvirate of despotism. . . That government is near its end when having once depended upon the free temper of the people they endeavor to reign by their own extent of power." The author writes "on the extravagance of the present reign" and its corrupting effects. He predicts "commercial bankruptcy! a national famine! and an unavoidable Revolution!" <br /> OCLC 221410570 4- Columbia Baylor two in England as of January 2024.

Walton the son of innkeepers moved to London to become an ironmonger but would spend the last forty years of his life collecting information and writing on fishing. The book was first published in 1653 but re-released in numerous editions both due to its popularity and Walton's propensity to revise and contribute more chapters to it. It has stayed in print since it was first published and is noted for its well observed descriptions of English country life. "The Compleat Angler has something in common with 'Lady Chatterley's Lover:' while many know the title few have actually read it. Yet it's the most frequently reprinted book in the English language after the Bible" The Guardian.<br /> <br /> George Bayntun 1873-1940 was the founder of Bayntun Bindery 1894 dedicated to using traditional hand-crafted techniques and high-quality materials. "The Riviere Bindery was one of the most notable and prolific shops in London's West End from about 1840 through 1939" Princeton. Bath-based Bayntun Bindery acquired the firm in 1939 transforming into the "Bayntun-Riviere bindery" which is still in existence and family owned. Although named after the English miniaturist Richard Cosway 1742-1821 the desirable "Cosway Binding" with its jewel-like portrait miniature set into a fine binding was first developed at the turn of the century by J.H. Stonehouse director of London's Henry Sotheran Booksellers. Their miniatures were painstakingly crafted by the talented painter Miss C. B. Currie 1849-1940. As the style grew in popularity other publishing houses quickly began to reproduce this technique-each developing their own desirable take on the aesthetic-referred to as "Cosway style." <br /> <br /> Coigney 18.

Goldman 36; Singerman 630. <br> The First Complete Machzor Jewish Prayer Book Set for the full year printed in America a stunning complete set. <br> Isaac Leeser 1806-1868 was a central leader of American Jewry in the mid-19th Century the stalwart defender of Orthodoxy against the rise of the Reform movement. He was the head of the Jewish community of Philadelphia and acted as a cantor philosopher publisher and author of many sermons and essays. He was key in the founding Jewish institutions and publications central to the building of Judaism in America including the original Jewish Publication Society the Jewish Sunday School movement and many key translations of Hebrew texts into English. <br> As such he was the first Jew to translate the Hebrew Bible into English publishing The Five Books of Moses in 1845 followed by the full Twenty-Four Books of the Old Testament in 1853. His other major translation is that offered here the first Machzor Prayer Book set for the full year published in America in 1837-1838.Publication in this case was a complex project. Leeser based his new translation on an earlier London edition improving upon both the English translation and the original Hebrew which are presented in facing pages. Once the translation was ready for publication he ordered new Hebrew types from Europe but could not find printers who were familiar with Hebrew–so he taught two Christian printers Hebrew in order to prepare them for the printing. <br> In spite of the difficulties involved all six volumes of the machzor set were published in a total of only 13 months. Leeser marketed his prayer book to audiences in both America and the British Empire and therefore included prayers on behalf of a monarch British and a republican government America. The work also includes a fascinating two-page list of subscribers spanning the Eastern US as well as Jamaica at the end of Vol. VI. The same volume here includes interesting margin notes in pen from a period Rabbi or service leader. <br> With an original run of only 500 sets complete sets of the first edition such as this are very rare.

186014804Charleston: Evans & Cogswell 1860. 23 1 pp. Disbound light spotting and some pages tanned. Good. <br /> <br /> This 1860 Association Tract contrasts the New York Tribune's ugly distorted view of the South with the "cool-headed sensible unimpassioned" views of South Carolina's Senator Hammond. Tracing the intractable conflict between North and South to the country's birth the author asserts "It is a great mistake to assign the election of Lincoln as the CAUSE for a disruption of the Federal Government. It is but the occasion." Secession and a separate Southern slave-holding Confederacy are passionately urged. <br /> The last page unnumbered prints the 'Constitution of 1860 Association' whose purpose is "promoting resistance by the slaveholding States to the aggressions of the non-slaveholding States." This is one of two 1860 Charleston issues. <br /> III Turnbull 306 different imprint. Not in LCP. Evans & Cogswell unknown

It began as a "suggestive purchase list" prepared by Bertha Mahony Miller and Elinor Whitney Field proprietresses of the country's first bookstore for children The Bookshop for Boys and Girls. Opened in 1916 in Boston as a project of the Women's Educational and Industrial Union the bookshop closed in 1936 but The Horn Book Magazine continues in its mission to "blow the horn for fine books for boys and girls" as Mahony wrote in her first editorial. In each bimonthly issue The Horn Book Magazine includes articles about issues and trends in children's literature essays by artists and authors and reviews of new books and paperback reprints for children. Articles are written by the staff and guest reviewers including librarians teachers historians and booksellers. The January issue includes the speeches of the winners of the Boston GlobeHorn Book Award and each July issue includes the same from the winners of the year's Newbery Medal and Caldecott Medal. The Fanfare list published in December is the editors' selection of the best children's and young adult books of the year.3 No lists were published from 1941 to 1945 or 1955 to 1958.

185221535Columbia S.C.: R.W. Gibbes State Printer 1852. 24pp stitched. Untrimmed minor edgewear generously margined light toning and foxing. Very Good. <br /> <br /> A rare early informative Report on prisons and South Carolina's criminal law. The Report recommends changes in the penal law; not Hayne assures from "sympathy with the spirit of indiscriminate and sweeping innovation which to some extent is the characteristic of the age and which absolutely runs riot in many of the States of this Confederacy." South Carolina has a low crime rate: "more than half of our population and the portion amongst whom from their position crime would naturally most abound are slaves who are kept in order without a resort to the Courts." But he fears an "alarming" rise in crime in Charleston. Urging greater efficiency "in detecting crime" he recommends employing prosecutors in each district and "physicians for post mortem examinations in murder cases." <br /> Hayne wants to streamline outmoded judicial procedures allow appeals "in cases not capital only on cause shown" to curtail the power of pardon with standards to guide issuance of pardons to curb the most wretched prison conditions particularly housing "the arrested debtor and the innocent witness" with "the convicted felon"; and to provide separate cells at night and employ prisoners in shoemaking and other useful tasks. An Appendix prints valuable data on the prison population of South Carolina. <br /> III Turnbull 143. Cohen 4567. Not in Harv. Law Cat. or Marke. OCLC 8348549 3- Harvard U Chi.
