Hill and Carl Baermann. During the winter of 1881-1882 Hill taught her harmony 'the only formal instruction in music theory she ever received. lNAW At the age of 16 she debuted with the Boston Symphony Orchestra as a pianist and finding favor with critics and public alike continued to give recitals. Her marriage in 1885 to Dr. H.H.A. Beach a distinquished surgeon and colleague of Dr. Oliver Wendell olmes considerable altered the course of her career. her husband appreciated and supported her music but disliked her performing in public. With his encouragement she focusted on composing teaching herself the priciples of musical composition. Her Mass in E Flat major for vocal quarter chorus orchestra and organ was first performed in 1892 by the Handel and Haydn Society with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. It was the "first work by a woman performed by this oldest and most conservative of American choral organizations." NAW remarkable for any composer all but three of her 150 works were published.

Excised leaf of an advertisement also laid in. First American editions of the <i>Bible of Nature</i> and of the <i>Opus Maximum</i>.</p>An interesting example of an early American radical book publishing consortium. Pedestrian Stewart 1742-1822 was by all accounts a brilliant eccentric who had traveled across Europe and England and large chunks of North America on foot all in an attempt to reform both men and their minds; his ideas tended toward the radical if perhaps at times unreadable. See the DNB. <br /><br />The two volumes here of <i>The Bible of Nature</i> were published together by a consortium of free thought and radical publishers including expatriate English free thought emigrants Gilbert Vale and George Evans and by J. P. Mendum; the second volume as collected here appears either to be fragmentary or published solely as an introduction to stereotype editions of the Evans editions of <i>Moral State of Nations</i> and the <i>Revelation of Nature</i>. <br /><br />Something of a bibliographical tangle given that the stereotype plates were evidently available free to the asking for American radical publishers of the period and completeness of the second part of the <i>Bible of Nature</i> is unclear and may have been included here simply as a sort of table of contents to the volumes that here follow; whether this sammelband is as published and sold by the radical reformer George Henry Evans or had collected by an early reader is unclear.

1898WRCAM34106Boston: Bates & Guild Company 1898. Two volumes. 680pp. plus fifty photographic plates; 4528pp. including numerous in-text illustrations and plans plus 100 loose photographic plates. Each plate is 9 1/2 x 12 inches and mounted on a heavy card 15 1/2 x 19 inches. Half titles. Large folio. Gathered signatures laid into original half cloth and paper board portfolios paper labels on covers. Portfolios shaken and worn particularly along spines. Minor dust soiling in margins. A few plates with slightly greater edge wear. Contemporary ownership inscription on paper labels. Overall images bright and clean. Very good. From an edition limited to 500 copies. An impressive tour of Boston municipal architecture divided into two parts. The first part features "schoolhouse architecture" almost entirely while the second part features hospitals institutions and miscellaneous buildings. The text accompanying each portfolio offers a detailed description of the buildings illustrated in the large plates. In the plates the buildings are usually shown from the front; but these views are often supplemented by side detail or interior shots. Some of the plates are photographic reproductions of relevant architectural plans. <br> <br> "Wheelwright's architectural imagination was wide; he sought the monumental the classic solution. Stylistically he was catholic even erratic. Some of his schools are Italianate some Georgian some rather nondescript; the half-timber of the hospitals and the Marine Park Bath House illustrated here is blatant.Yet in all the work there is counter-trend apparent based on strict practicality and basic simplicity; and some of the municipal work like the Hook and Ladder House No. 1 and the Eustic School both also shown here has a colonial style remarkably pure and charming for its date" - DAB. <br> <br> An unparalleled visual exhibition of Boston civic infrastructure at the close of the 19th century and an important American architectural work. Wheelwright is perhaps best known for being a founding member of the Harvard Lampoon. He later designed the publication's enigmatic Lampoon Castle in 1909. DAB XX pp.61-62.

Le premier volume sur une Épître amicale manuscrite à Monsieur et Madame de Beaurepaire la Marche (2 pages 1/2) datée d'avril 1871.

Le premier volume s'achève par 3 pages manuscrites de table des pièces en vers contenues dans le volume.

Il ne reste aujourd'hui que quelques dépendances du château encore debout.
1898WRCAM54953Puerto Principe Cuba 1898. Broadside 16 1/4 x 12 1/4 inches. Toned old folds and creases minor edge chipping short closed tear slight fold separations. Very good. A very rare possibly unique surviving example of a Cuban broadside dating from the month after the conclusion of the Spanish- American War. The war ceased with a truce between the United States and Spain on August 12 1898; the official end of the war came a few months later on December 10 when the two parties signed the historic Treaty of Paris. Here on September 10 in the interim between truce and treaty the outgoing Spanish colonial governor of the south- central Cuban city of Puerto Principe present-day Camagüey Emilio March y Garcia calls for reinforcement of the truce agreement that would ensure free and open commercial trade in the region in the face of continuing interference by Cuban insurgents. March y Garcia claims that the Cuban revolutionaries are illegally detaining people interrupting the cattle trade trampling property rights carrying arms in flagrant disregard for the law and more. The ARIZONA REPUBLICAN published an English translation of this proclamation in its September 26 1898 issue. The translation reads: <br> <br> "I hereby inform the commanders of insurgent bands who are pillaging in the neighborhood of this city; who not observing the agreement between the Spanish and American governments with regard to the freedom of commercial relations are illegally detaining the country people; who are obliging the land owners to procure special passes and permits in order to put in order their plantations and will not allow them either to sell their cattle under the absurd pretext that the estates are the property of the nominal Cuban state and that its government alone can distribute and sell them and turn their products to what uses it sees fit thus trampling under foot the rights of property whereas on the part of this government the most absolute liberty in making contracts has been allowed and will be allowed in the future thus demonstrating the respect it has for the rights of all persons within its jurisdiction. I must call to notice with real sorrow that if these towns are suffering almost the horrors of starvation it is the result of the measures adopted by the chiefs of the insurgent bands who are impeding free traffic by forbidding the entry of all kinds of provisions especially cattle into the towns. In view of what I have already explained I consider it necessary to publish the following warnings: Article 1. I repeat my order of August 23 last permitting free entry and exit to all towns of this province subject to my authority and the most absolute freedom of trade between all the inhabitants of the province. Article 2. The prohibition to enter towns with arms remains in force and whoever is found with arms in his possession will be punished in accordance with the laws." <br> <br> Don Emilio Augusto March y Garcia Mesa was a career Spanish military commander who spent at least three stretches of time in Cuba the last as military governor of Puerto Principe during the Spanish defeat in the Spanish- American War. He also served as the colonial governor of Puerto Rico and general captain of Arago the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands. <br> <br> The present broadside is exceedingly rare and quite possibly unique with no copies listed in OCLC and no records at auction. unknown books
18355845C. Van Benthuysen; George H. Evans; 1835 1840 1841 1852. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. 5 vols bound into contemporary cloth 7.25 x 4.63 inches frontispiece 202; 2; vii-viii ix-xxv 1; 4; frontispiece 4 126; 122; 74 pages. Excised leaf of an advertisement also laid in. First American editions of the Bible of Nature and of the Opus Maximum. Walking Stewart articulated a materialist philosophy of Nature which combined elements of pantheism with yogic notions of a single indissoluble consciousness. These early American imprints must have been read by the New England transcendentalists but I don't recall seeing Stewart discussed in the major biographies of Emerson or Thoreau. In any event the similarity is striking for example to Thoreau's Walking. The two volumes here of The Bible of Nature were published together by a consortium of free thought and radical publishers including expatriate English free thought emigrants Gilbert Vale and George Evans and by J. P. Mendum; the second volume as collected here appears either to be fragmentary or published solely as an introduction to stereotype editions of the Evans editions of Moral State of Nations and the Revelation of Nature. Something of a bibliographical tangle given that the stereotype plates were evidently available free to the asking for American radical publishers of the period and completeness of the second part of the Bible of Nature is unclear and may have been included here simply as a sort of table of contents to the volumes that here follow; whether this sammelband is as published and sold by the radical reformer George Henry Evans or had collected by an early reader is unclear. The New-York edition of Opus Maxium not located in OCLC. A nice copy with minimal wear some foxing and light staining; but still very good -- entirely and pleasantly readable throughout.

18140072711814. Quarter Vellum. Cloth Boards. Near Fine. Spectacular manuscript estate survey maps from early 19th Century. Folio 53 by 39 cm. 6 text pages followed by ten double paged maps all handsomely colored and detailed. The first nine maps are numbered 2 to 10 per table in front showing that notwithstanding the enumeration there is not a missing map. One map with extra fold-out flap addenda. An additional double-sided hand-colored map in the back inserted into the foliio and then two additional hand-colored survey maps by de la Marche or his son loose -- never bound in -- architectural sketch of the chateau footprint done in pen-and-ink -- two other smaller less visually exciting maps and some correspondence. Maps are colored in greens reds yellows and blues. The washes of color together with the obvious precision of the draftsmanship render these maps utilitarian in purpose originally pleasing to the eye and very decorative. Tiny vignettes of churches mark villages and forests are signified by dots representing trees as was the convention. This chateau belonged to M. François Louis Barrairon at the time. It is located in the Indre-et-Loire Department and is between and equidistant to Tours and Vendome. Condition: bottom of leaves stained and sometimes slightly chipped or chewed looking. A few other minor chips. A few un-obtrusive well-executed repairs of tears. unknown
