Second and final English edition. First published as Deportation et Naufrage de J.J. Ayme Ex-Legislateur the first English Translation followed later that year. Ayme was a member of the Directory who was arrested after the Coup of 18 Fructidor and sent to the penal colony in Cayenne commonly known as Devil's Island. He managed to escape and eventually made his way to England. His narrative details the inhuman behavior of the colony's masters towards their prisoners and slaves. Produced to promote opposition to the Revolution in Great Britain the English translation was intended to expose the brutality of the Directory and the hollowness of its stated commitment to political freedom and human rights.

1819SS321-001Various: Various 1918-1955. Hardcover. Very Good. For an itemized list of the items in this lot please inquire. Condition Very Good to Good. The Courier-Journal newspaper began publication in Louisville Kentucky in 1868 - the last run of the Courier-Journal newspaper was Sunday February 28 2021; the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company printing facilities closed for good on March 4th 2021. The material offered here is dated 1918 through circa 1955 and includes technical material used by apprentices and compositors working in the composition and press rooms of the Courier-Journal Job Printing Co. Included are 6 volumes of the Typographic Technical Series For Apprentices Part VI Nos. 32-40 out of series Chicago IL: Published by the Committee on Education United Typothetae of America 1918. All copies with the bookplate "Property of Courier-Journal Job Printing Co. For EMPLOYES' sic Use Only Return to Superintendent's Office" in a handsome Art Nouveau design on the front paste-down. This educational material demonstrates that the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company was unionized at least from the beginning of the twentieth-century and highlights the power and influence of typographers who were among the most educated economically mobile wage laborers in the United States and who were represented in every major urban center in the newspaper industry; the typographic unions won a 48-hour work week in 1897 and a standard wage scale throughout the newspaper industry; as an example of the power of the typographers unions in the 1930s the International Typographical Union introduced the 40-hour work week across the industry which spread to other unions and has sinse been codified across the labor sector by federal legislation; the typographers occupied an important if ambiguous place in the development of American labor history in as much as American labor was never successful in uniting all laborers together in one force but tended organize within industries. This grouping tends to focus on the tools of the trade including type specimens and catalogs of process inks issued in the 1920s and 1930s; Courier-Journal typographers left notes to themselves in these catalogs indicating material they felt needed representation in the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company's shops. Something of an outlier in this grouping is an accordion-fold volume of photographs of printing equipment available for use in the 1950s by the competing print shop The Standard Printing Company Incorporated of Louisville Kentucky. Most likely a salesman's dummy to show potential clients that The Standard Printing Company had the latest printing equipment and the most prestigious customers this undated circa 1955 without imprint accordion-fold photo-archive of printing equipment shows the most modern print shop of the 1950s. The earliest book printed by the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company was issued in 1884. An interesting article by Chris Kenning in the Louisville Courier Journal March 11 2021 gave some valuable insights into the history of the newspaper the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company and the challenges to the newspaper business and printing in general in the United States with the advent of desktop computers and the rise of the internet. While the Kenning article did not touch much on the time period 1918-1955 there are still interesting stories to tell about the printing industry in America the place of printing in the American labor movement and printing technology in the first half of the twentieth century that can be told using the materials offered here as visual aids. With the sale of the Courier-Journal to the Gannett Co. Inc in 1986 the road to the shut down of the Courier-Journal Job Printing Company was opened. Now the Courier-Journal newspaper will be printed in Indianapolis IN. The current print circulation of the paper is now under 60000 while the Courier Journal's digital journalism garners 4.5 million monthly visitors to their website. Media consolidation has been made possible with the internet's ability to distribute news on a minute-by-minute basis making regional newspapers printed on paper a redundancy. The Cincinnati Enquirer the Lexington Herald-Leader the Bowling Green Daily News are all regional newspapers that will no longer be produced locally after having been produced in Louisville by the presses of the Courier-Journal. This consolidation of the newspaper industry means the loss of 102 Louisville jobs including printing press operators mailroom and transportation jobs that have been lost to the relocation of the press work to Indianapolis.

Attractive copy of Job Wilson's study of the influence of climate on the epidemic of spotted fever meningitis that spread throughout New England in the first years of the 19th century. Organized in three parts Wilson begins with a short description of the climate in New England from 1630 until 1806. Wilson expands the details of his study to show climate variations from 1801 to 1814 and their correlation with the rise and fall of the disease. This is one of the earliest studies in America to offer data on climate and disease with specific reference to the outbreak of spotted fever in 1807 1809 1811-1815. Part two of the Wilson's study describes the cause for the fever with reference to its impact on the lungs liver and brain.

1901002660Paris: Boivin et Cie. 1901. Decorated Cloth. Good. Flamboyant Job illustrations set to colortype. Folio. 36 by 28 cm 14 by 11 inches. N.d. but probably 1901 or a few years earlier.

184234680Bristol 1842. 16pp caption title as issued. Disbound else Very Good<br/><br/> Chief Justice Durfee says that the Dorr rebels are traitors. "The first duty which every person residing within the jurisdiction of this State owes to it is that of allegiance." The Dorr Constitution "can find no justification in law." Durfee explains with references to Rhode Island's original Charter of 1643 that sovereignty is "found in the body politic and corporate and no where else.No one within this jurisdiction can lawfully renounce this allegiance and transfer it to another sovereignty." The Chief Justice denounces "this principle of revolution by an unauthorized and irresponsible movement of masses."<br/> Dorrites must have trembled when not long after giving this Charge they learned that Durfee would preside at the trial for treason of Thomas Dorr. <br/>FIRST EDITION.

184654235Boston: Thomas H. Webb & Co 1846. First edition 8vo pp. 176; original printed wrappers backed with red cloth at an early date manuscript paper label on spine; wrappers lightly soiled and worn with minor loss to back wrap; a few corners creased and curled but text generally clean. A good sound copy. A work of Emersonian pantheism by the Chief Judge of the Rhode Island Supreme Court who presided over the Dorr trials. In an earlier work The Influence of Scientific Discovery and Invention on Social and Political Progress 1843 Durfee believed that he had found in the advent of steam power a sign of divine intervention indicating a "law of progress" in man's development. Panidea adumbrates this theme: all is eventually assimilated into the "Theanthropoid" Durfee's term for the Divine Mind. See Schneider History of American Philosophy. DAB offers a concise assessment: "a somewhat pretentious philosophical work which nobody read." American Imprints 2262. <br/><br/> Thomas H. Webb & Co hardcover books

002783Paris: Charavay Martoux the first two works. Charavay Martin the third work. Edouard Crete printer. Half Morocco Marbled Boards. Good. Folio 14 by 11.5 inches 36 by 30 cm. N.d. circa 1900. Rebacked with the original morocco spine mounted onto skiver. The skiver though being a different shade of red is conspicuous along the entire front joint and at the lower end in particular the reattachment looks clumsy. The leather of the spine has heavily rubbed with dry chipping at the extremities. The leaves within are heavily age toned and a bit brittle with some marginal chipping. A few tape repairs. The leaves of the three volumes are not exactly even and so this comes off similar to many a sammelbund. Still excellent value for two antique French juvenile classics. <br/><br/> Charavay, Martoux (the first two works). Charavay, Martin (the third work). Edouard Crete, printer. hardcover books
