It would seem that this volume was only issued with uncolored plates.<br/><br/>"For many of Daumier's admirers his lithographs of 1870-1871 represent the peak of his achievement. They are in his last style massive stripped down direct which speaks as nothing else could for this tragic period in France's history. <br/><br/>The Siege of Paris - that took place from 19th September 1870 to 28th January 1871 and the consequent capture of the city by Prussian force - culminated in France's defeat in the Franco-Prussian War and the establishment of both the German Empire and the Paris Commune - the radical socialist anti-religious and revolutionary government that ruled Paris from 18th March to 28th May 1871. The Franco-Prussian War had led to the capture of Emperor Napoleon III in September 1870 the collapse of the Second French Empire and the beginning of the Third Republic.<br/><br/>The Plates:<br/><br/>1.

Après le Siége Cham 113<br/><br/>"Particularly to be noted are his bitter reflections on the legend which Charlet Bellangé Raffet and their imitators had helped to create. The desolate battleground of "The empire means peace" no. 26 offers an ironic commentary on an epigram uttered by Napoleon III in 1852. His "Square Napoleon" no. 14 displays the gravestones of those for whose death the Emperor has been responsible beginning with the Boulevard Monmartre in the winter of 1851 and ending with Sedan in 1870. In Cham's "The reverse of the Saint Helena medal" no. 30 indeed the country's disaster is attributed specifically to Napoleon Bonaparte as well as to Napoleon III. Daumier's first plate for 1871 showing France "Appalled by her heritage" no. 17 is bleak indeed but a later design offers a gleam of hope: "Poor France!. The trunk blasted but the roots hold fast" no. 33.<br/><br/>It should be mentioned that Cham's contributions to this album though trivial in comparison with Daumier's monumental compositions are by no means negligible. He provides the detail that Daumier omitted. The horrors of the bombardment are recorded in his plates but so too is the black humor of Parisian life during the siege. For example he shows the population pursuing food in any form - horses cats rats even a large woman regarded with speculation by an impudent boy: "No more meat! - Let's go then!" no. 20.<br/><br/>The plates included in Album du siège were transferred to zinc for engraving by Gillot's process rather than printed directly from Daumier's lithographic stones."

1815biblio1Pamphlet 8vo removed disbound 35 pp. Mostly disbound a bit soiled folds and creases at edges ink smudge on title aging and toning throughout. Noah Worcester 1758-1837 was born in New Hampshire and would become a noted a clergyman. He published several important tracts on religious subjects and appears to have had some unorthodox views of the holy trinity and published a few articles on the subject. However around the time of the War of 1812 Worcester reflected on the effects of war and became a pacifist. In 1814 he first published his "A Solemn Review of the Custom of War" which would continue in several other editions. In this work he argued that the violence and destruction of war was inconsistent with Christian values. He would found the Massachusetts Peace Society and this group would be in the forefront of a rather popular antiwar movement that emerged in America around the time of the War of 1812. ANB. OCLC. A.

Rubbed worn stained but sound front flyleaf with old tear pen starts. Very good. First edition. 250 pp. 1 vols. Small 8vo. First edition of this scarce grammar by Webster which he would later consider to be one of his two most important works. A second edition appeared in 1822 and the text was reused in the introductory matter of his famed American Dictionary 1828. Webster wrote to a friend in 1829 "My 'Philosophical and Practical Grammar" . has been but little used: but except for my quarto Dictionary I consider it as altogether the most valuable work I have ever published."

Silliman was perhaps the best-known scientific man in America in the first half of the 19th century a highly respected professor of chemistry and natural history at Yale and a long-time friend of Webster's.

181924603New-York: Printed by C.S. Van Winkle 1819. 39 1 blank pp. Disbound wrapper remnants in inner margins of first and last page. Light soil Good or so. <br/><br/> This pamphlet advocates in response to the Panic of 1819 "two restrictions on banks: first they may discount no 'accommodation paper' i.e. simple loans that were not self-liquidating in the course of active trade; and second that they grant no renewals of loans." The absence of such restrictions the author argues encouraged excessive speculations and brought about the depression. See Rothbard 'The Panic of 1819' page 132 1962. As evidence Aristides cites the "wild enthusiasm" which characterized resumption of commerce after the 1815 Treaty of Ghent and the resulting extensions of credit "to the utmost limit." <br/> Authorship has been variously attributed to Webster and Van Ness. Skeel doubts Webster's hand. "Among other reasons she states that the Letter does not seem to be written in his style and that she finds no allusion to it in his letters. The pamphlet has also been ascribed to William P. Van Ness another who used the pseudonym 'Aristides.'" <br/>Sabin. <br/>AI 49978 4. Sabin 102364. See Skeel page 563 note 12. Printed by C.S.
