Three volumes. pp. 167; 192; 183. Frontis and titles engraved by Bicknell. Large 8vo.Original vellum backed boards. Top edge gold. Limited to only 400 copies. Engraved Ex Libris of Truman H. Newberry. Fine English text edition issued by the Bibliophile Society The owner of this set Truman H. Newberry was a Secretary of the Navy under Theodore Roosevelt. He was elected to the Senate in 1918. On Mar ch 20, 1920, Newberry was convicted on charges of spending $3,750 to secure his Senate election (quite amazing, considering modern ideas about expenditures to secure political office). The U.S. Supreme Court overturned this decision (May 2, 1921) on the grounds that the U.S. Senate exceeded its powers in attempting to regulate primary elections. By a vote of 46 to 41 (January 12, 1922), the Senate declared Newberry to have been duly elected in 1918. On November 18, two days before the start of the 3rd session of the 67th Congress, Newberry resigned as certain members resumed their efforts to unseat him. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W118

PARIS, La Cité des Livres. - 1926 - sur grand vergé, grandes marges - Reliure à la Bradel postérieure- couverture rempliée conservée - 177 pages - Envoi manuscrit au docteur Edouard JONQUIERES - Très bel exemplaire. Résumé: Début du XVIIIe siècle. Retiré à Londres, un vieil homme prend la plume afin de raconter les aventures de sa jeunesse, lorsqu'il écumait les mers des Caraïbes sous les ordres du redoutable pirate George Merry, capitaine de L'Étoile Matutine, en compagnie, entre autres, du chirurgien lettré Mac Graw, de l'ancien officier des gardes-françaises Marceau, et du galérien évadé Anselme Pitti. Après avoir évoqué son enfance misérable en Bretagne, le meurtre absurde d'une jeune fille qui le conduit à fuir à Brest, et son embarquement à bord de L’Étoile Matutine, grâce auquel, espère-t-il, il pourra « acheter la petite auberge où toutes les ressources de [sa] paisible imagination se réunissaient afin d'y réaliser le bonheur », le narrateur dépeint, en chapitres courts et dans un style lapidaire et détaché, les anecdotes qui émaillent l'existence précaire et dévoilent les tempéraments lunatiques des gentilshommes de fortune : une expédition dans le port de Veracruz ravagé par la peste, l'émotion suscitée par une miniature reproduisant un portrait de jeune fille, l'abandon de deux mutins sur une île déserte, la rencontre avec un matelot du vaisseau fantôme Le Hollandais volant, etc. À la suite d'une expédition organisée pour retrouver le légendaire trésor du Capitaine Flint, qui tourne au fiasco, à la fois tragique et bouffon, le narrateur et Mac Graw se décident à bénéficier de l'amnistie proposée aux pirates faisant leur reddition par le roi Georges II, nouvellement couronné, tandis que George Merry poursuit sur la mer le chemin qui le mènera au gibet de Savannah, où il sera pendu dans son bel habit rouge.
