19395098N.p. but New York City 1939. Very good. 20pp. of mimeographed text printed on rectos only stapled. Some dust-soiling and uneven toning to outer leaves soft central vertical fold throughout. A rare annual report authored by L.L. Berry secretary-treasurer of the New York-based Missionary Department of the A.M.E. Church for the year 1938-39. Llewellyn L. Berry 1876-1954 was born in Hampton Virginia and graduated from Hampton Institute. He served as pastor of various A.M.E. churches in North Carolina and Virginia between 1908 and 1933 before spending the last twenty-one years of his life as Secretary-Treasurer of his denomination's Home and Foreign Mission Department. The present report contains an opening message by Berry as well as sections on missionaries who have passed away in the last year "Visits to the Foreign Field" reporting on official visits to "all the mission fields in Africa" a separate section on the group's "Cuban Mission" which Berry attended a section on the the Voice of Missions the organization's official periodical and more. Most of the latter half of the report is comprised of a detailed financial report of the Missionary Department before Berry adds an optimistic conclusion. According to OCLC Columbia University is the only institution holding any annual reports from Berry with copies from 1933-34 and 1940-48; we could locate no institutional holdings for the present year. unknown

It also offers a thorough course for teaching color that incorporates visual tactile and language exercises. <br /> <br />Despite espousing the superiority of art education that did not rely on rote copying exercises Turner accepted the job of producing a new version of White's Course in Art Instruction for the American Book Company in 1891 along with four young art educators--Nathanial Berry Elizabeth Perry Jessie Prince--who referred to themselves as "the syndicate." Bailey was a state agent with influence over art education in Massachusetts where a years-running competition with Prang came to a head when Prang bought out the American Book Company acquiring evidence of Bailey's involvement in the production and coercing a more cooperative climate for Prang's books in MA schools.

181655305Paris: Vente 1816. Fine. Royal wedding edition of this popular pre-Revolution comedy issued on the occasion of the marriage of Princess Marie-Caroline and the Duc de Berry - and from the library of the Duchess herself who famously sold her books after her failed coup in 1832. The Duchess's wedding occurred only a year after the restoration of the royal House of Bourbon in 1815 following Napoleon's final defeat at Waterloo. On that occasion a special performance of Andrieux's 1787 play was performed for the Duchess a devotee of the theater. This rare edition was printed as a memento of that event which was to have massive implications in French history. <br /> <br /> The Duchess's new husband was the king's brother; after the Duc de Berry's assassination in 1820 their son became the heir apparent to the French throne. But when the July Revolution of 1830 deposed the Bourbons the Duchess and her son went into exile. In 1832 however the Duchess of Berry clandestinely returned to France to lead a rebellion becoming "the most wanted woman in France" Samuels. Her coup failed and she was once again exiled; her story would later be dramatized in fiction by Alexandre Dumas as LES LOUVES DE MACHECOUL 1859. <br /> <br /> Realizing she would never return to her beloved library of some 8000 volumes at Chateau Rosny she made the decision to sell it. It was then one of the most famous libraries in France with a tremendous range in philosophy history travel science law theology fiction and theater. This copy's binding and bookplates mark its provenance from the library of the Duchess. It was bound by René Simier 1772-1843 who "had no superior and few rivals during his career" Ramsden 190 with his ticket announcing him as "Binder to the King to Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Berry and to His Royal Highness the Duke of Bordeaux." The binding is in the style the Duchess regularly ordered from Simier featuring her gilt arms on the boards upon a carefully selected full morocco. It further bears the engraved bookplate of Rosny on the unusual pink endpapers. Books from the Duchess's library still appear with some regularity on the market today but rarely with such a close personal connection to the Duchess herself. Contemporary full honey morocco boards stamped in gilt with the arms of the Duchess of Berry bound by René Simier with his ticket "Relieur du Roi de S.A.R. Madame Duchesse de Berry et de S.A.R. Mgr le duc de Bordeaux". Pink glazed endpapers all edges gilt. 4 82 pages. Engraved bookplate of the Bibliothèque de Rosny on front pastedown; bookplates also of Alexis Rouart and Eugène Aubry-Vitet. Only trace rubbing and soil. Vente unknown
181966477London: Longman Hurst Rees Orme and Brown Paternoster-Row; and James Ridgway Piccadilly 1819.

On the upper cover is the ownership signature of Princess Starhemberg i.e. Princess Franziska Starhemberg 1787-1864. Presentation copy from the editor Mrs. Berry inscribed "To the Princess Starhemberg from her most attached grateful & affectionate friend The Editor." There is one correction in ink in the margin of p. viii also in her hand. Berry 1763-1852 was the editor of the works of Horace Walpole two dramatic plays and A Comparative View of the Social Life of England and France from the Restoration of Charles II to the French Revolution. "These letters are written with such a neglect of style and often of grammar as may disgust the admirers of well-turned periods and they contain such frequent repetitions of homely tenderness as may shock the sentimental readers of the present days. But they evince the enjoyment of happiness built on such rational foundations and so truly appreciated by its possessors as too seldom occurs in the history of the human heart. They are impressed too with the marks of a cheerful mind a social spirit and every indication of a character prepared as well to enjoy the sunshine as to meet the storms of life" Berry p. xix. Lowndes p. III 2155. Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, Paternoster-Row; and James Ridgway, Piccadilly unknown

9573Monterey KY: Larkspur Press 2006. Full Leather. Fine binding. Octavo. 4 36 4 pp. Limited edition number 9 of 75 copies on Somerset Book paper there was also an edition of 500 regular copies. Signed by Wendell Berry at the colophon; additionally noted by Fox the year it was bound. In full goatskin binding with a series of leather onlays tooled in gold and blind all creating a fantastic pictorial binding. Accompanying the binding is a fine paper portfolio with publisher's prospectuses samples and associated material; additionally some templates related to Fox's binding. All housed a custom clamshell by Fox. <br /> <br /> The text offers a lens into the 19th century view of how a native of region assesses the value of the natural wonders. Berry's commentary at the end of Allen's text brings the troubling viewpoint into a modern context: "The chapter is built upon a division of mind which in our time has become terrifying but which Allen believed to be no more than a simple equation. On the one hand in a sentimentally romantic fashion he was sensitive to the natural life of the area which was then still intact. And on the other hand he seems eager for the destruction of this virgin bounty that so inspired him. I say 'the destruction' and not 'the use' for his language is patently that of an exploiter intent upon 'conquering' nature." A sobering volume that will most surely always remain relevant.
