1965513160Cambridge University Press 1965. Leather. NEAR FINE. A very nice mid-century printing of the coveted Turquoise setting on India Paper printed at the Bentley House in London. vi 1184 361pp.; 125 concordance color lithograph maps and gazeteer. Large 8vo Smyth-sewn binding with overcast stitching in hand-grained Morocco goatskin leather with leather liner; all edges gilt gilt stamped spine lettering two place ribbons. Owner's imprinted name scratched off; some trivial scuffing to the gilt very faint dampstains to just a few pages; otherwise an uncommonly nice copy with little evidence of use--no markings blank dedication pages very clean and bright pages and tight sound binding. One of the most sought-after settings of the KJV the Cambridge Turquoise is prized for its boldness and clarity of it's large font especially when printed on the older 'India Paper' makes for one of the most eminently legible personal Bibles -- readable from a distance of several feet. While the goatskin leather is very nice the key to the value of this printing is the paper. The excellence of the India Paper of this era the likes of which has not been produced since the 70's is hard to overstate. Decades of research and development by Oxford and Cambridge went into producing this astounding combination of thinness strenght and opacity. Cambridge University Press unknown

1775ST17825Paris: Joseph-Gérard Barbou rue Mathurins 1775. 163 x 96 mm. 6 3/8 x 3 3/4". Seven volumes. Edited by J. N. Lallemand; preface by Jean Baptiste Louis Crévier. <br/> EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE CONTEMPORARY GREEN ARMORIAL MOROCCO perhaps by Derome covers with triple gilt rule border central gilt coat of arms of the Blanche family featuring a seated fox with one paw raised above it a row of three five-pointed stars smooth spine divided into compartments containing a gilt lyre surrounded by stars and dots floral sprigs at corners volume number within a laurel wreath gilt lettering marbled endpapers all edges gilt. With printer's two-swans device on title pages volume I with frontispiece portrait engraved by L. J. Cathelin after J. C. Philips. With pencilled note on front flyleaf attributing the binding to Derome. Brunet III 1108 "Edition estimée"; Dibdin II 171. For the binding: Olivier Pl. 2279. ◆Spines slightly and uniformly sunned very light shelf wear to bindings occasional faint foxing in volume IV but A SUPERB SET almost entirely absent of any signs of use.<br/> <br/> This is a fine-paper copy in a binding both charming and handsome of what Dibdin deems "a truly beautiful and accurate edition" of Livy's Roman history. Brunet called it an "esteemed edition" and notes that fine paper copies like the present set sold for twice what regular copies cost. First printed by Sweynheym and Pannartz in 1469 the "Histories" of Titius Livius Patavani 59 B.C. - 17 A.D. follow the rise of Rome from the founding of the city through its triumphs in the Punic Wars and up through the reign of the author's contemporary emperor Augustus. His account is notable for its emphasis on the glorious triumphs and accounts of heroism of the Romans stemming in his eyes from their virtue; his history is intended not just to inform but also to elevate the reader. The present edition according to Dibdin builds on the fine editions edited by Crevier and Drakenborch incorporating their useful notes and additions. It was beautifully printed by Joseph-Gérard Barbou 1723-90 scion of a family that had begun printing in Lyon in 1529 moving to Paris in 1540. Joseph apparently specialized in Latin classics producing editions of Cicero Lucretius Pliny Caesar and Martial among others. The fine binding here does not have Derome's ticket but is well executed enough to make the attribution written in at front plausible. There were no fewer than 18 members of the Derome family not to mention workshop associates who made their livings as binders in Paris from the middle of the 17th century until the first quarter of the 19th. Our binding is tasteful--perfect for a scholarly edition of a classic--and conceivably the work of one of the Deromes or of an extremely competent associate. Olivier attributes our armorial stamp to the 18th century Blanche family of Burgundy and he finds it on a copy of Barbou's 1771 Sallust in the library of Madame la Comtesse de Cossé. The "country house" condition of the present set suggests an aristocratic owner more concerned with owning fine books than with reading them. [Joseph-Gérard] Barbou, rue Mathurins unknown

197197383Rabat Morocco August 16 1971. 1971. - Over 140 words typed in French on the Prince's 8-1/4 inch high by 6-1/8 inch wide royal stationery with a crown above Maghrebi script printed in indigo at top right. In his letter addressed to Vice President Spiro Agnew's chief of staff Arthur Sohmer Prince Moulay Abdallah of Morocco requests that Art Sohmer convey his warm regards and thanks to the Vice President for sending him a physical therapist "Je vous prie de transmettre a Monsieur le Vice-President S. AGNEW mes chaleureux remerciements pour la delicate attention qu'il a eue a mon egard en depechant aupres de moi un reeducateur". Vice President Agnew visited King Hassan II of Morocco on July 25th 1971 only a couple weeks after the attempted coup during which Prince Moulay Abdullah of Morocco was wounded. The prince goes on to praise the skills and personality of the therapist which the Vice President had sent him and apologizes for not having been able to attend the dinner which the American Ambassador had hosted in the Vice President's honor. He further expresses his thanks to Art Sohmer for the latter's own personal contribution and gesture of friendship: "Je tiens a vous remercier pour votre contribution personnelle a ce geste si amical qui m'a particulierement touche". Signed by Prince Moulay Abdullah in Maghrebi script. The letter is creased at the corners and stapled to the original mailing envelope with the oval red ink seal of the prince's "Secretariat Particulier" with the prince's name above the image of the Prince's crown. The envelope also bear's the Office of the Vice President's blue stamp. The Department of State's stamp together with the October 14th date is stamped in blue on the verso of the letter. Penciled at the top left of the letter is a request for a translation likely written by Art Sohmer: "State: Translation & suggested reply if appropriate".<p>Accompanying Prince Moulay Abdullah's letter which was written in French is an official "Office of the Vice President / Referral" form addressed to Mr. James L. Carson director of the State Department's Secretarial Staff. This form dated October 12 1971 and signed by Major P.D. Slack the Marine Corps Aide to the Vice President requests that the letter be translated for Art Sohmer and the Vice President's benefit. The translation typed on 10-1/2 inch high by 8 inch wide "Department of State Division of Language Services" letterhead accompanies the letter. A referral number is stamped at the top of the Prince's letter as well as at the top of the referral form and the translation references this number. <p>The brother of King Hassan II of Morocco Prince Moulay Abdullah of Morocco 1935-1983 was married to Lamia Solh the daughter of Lebanon's first Prime Minister. On July 10 1971 General Mohamed Medbouh who was disillusioned by King Hassan's light treatment of staff members who were shown to have been shaking down foreign companies and convinced that the King may himself be involved led a coup attempt. Conspiring with other military officers Medbouh enlisted a force of 1200 cadets to storm the palace during the King's birthday reception where according to different sources between 400 to 800 guests were present. 92 people were killed in the attempted coup and many more injured including Prince Moulay Abdullah Ben Mohammad. Royalist troops overcame the rebels killing more than a hundred cadets and capturing another 900 and their officers. Two weeks later on July 25 1971 Vice President Agnew visited Morocco. In his book "Hunting the President: Threats Plots and Assassination Attempts." Mel Ayton quotes Chuck Vance who served on President Ford's protective detail and who described the risks of foreign visits by U.S. Presidents & Vice Presidents: "There's going to be some razzle dazzle so people aren't quite clear who to attack. They'll have military personnel everywhere: frogmen ships and aircraft. I called in a whole naval fleet one time in a Moroccan visit for Vice President Agnew because of political uncertainties" no doubt referring to this visit. It was during this visit that Agnew referred or sent the physical therapist to the Prince. Prince Moulay Abdullah who was a favorite of his father passed away from cancer in 1983 at the age of 48. Stade Moulay Abdullah stadium was named after him.<p>Spiro T. Agnew 1918-1996 was Governor of Maryland and Vice President of the United States under Nixon.
