18637035Mexico City: Tipografia de Mariano Villanueva 1863. Second edition. 16mo 9 x 12.5 cm pp 254 2. Apparently Neve y Molina was a native Otomi Pilling from Naxera and the preliminary matter of the volume indicate that he was professor of the language at the Tridentine Seminary in Mexico City and chief translator of Otomi at the Ecclesiastical Court. His grammar was the earliest published of this language. Palau #190160 notes the rarity of the first edition of 1767 also printed in Mexico but this second edition seems to be even scarcer judging from the scarcity of library holdings and appearances at auction. Sabin 52414. Quarter morocco over cloth boards with gilt decoration on spine. Very good copy. <br/><br/> Tipografia de Mariano Villanueva hardcover books
176741578Mexico: Bibliotheca Mexicana 1767. Small 8vo. 12 ff. 160 pp. engr. leaf of errata lacks the engr. frontis. <br><br>Otomí is one of the principal languages spoken in Central Mexico and this work more than any other standardized its orthography; it is also the classic Otomí grammar and dictionary and is by a man some authorities believe to have been himself an Otomí Indian or at least of Otomí heritage. It was written during the mid-18th-century renaissance of linguistic study of the languages of Mexico and Palau considers it "muy rara." It is much rarer on the market in our experience than similarly important works in Nahuatl.<br>Â Â Â Â Both the engraved frontispiece which as often is lacking here and the handsome elaborately engraved errata leaf which is here present are signed by => the engraver Jose Francisco Gómez.<br>Â Â Â Â => The Bibliotheca Mexicana was the private press of the great bibliographer writer and secular cleric Juan Jose de Eguiara y Eguren.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: Small round ownership stamp of Michael Mathes in upper inner corner of the verso of the title-leaf. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â Medina Mexico 5174; García Icazbalceta Lenguas 55; Viñaza 356; Maggs Bibl.

Marbled paper of the 18th century supplied as wrappers in 20th century; front free endpaper supplied from a different book. Old very light waterstaining in some sections and a bit of foxing; errata leaf closely trimmed affecting border and some line numbers but not rather remarkably the engraver's minute signature. Overall => a decent copy of an important book scarce on the market. Bibliotheca Mexicana unknown books
1767177750Mexico: Puente del Espiritu Santo Cuidad de Mexico. Biblioteca Mexicana 1767. Hardcover. Good some staining to pages here and there has the appearance of being tender title-page with moderate foxing around the perimeter. The binding is contemporary and somewhat primitive adding to the charm of this copy. Paper covered boards 4" x 5 88" with applied cloth over spine and attaching to boards. Title-page followed by engraved frontis then 22 pp. of preliminaries then pp. 1-160. Inserted at p. 13 is an engraved sheet or errata dated 1768. Notes written in pencil on the ffep indicate that the frontis and engraved errata sheet present in this volume are excessively scarce and were unknown to Sabin. Both the engraved frontispiece and the engraved errata leaf are signed by the engraver Jose Francisco Gomez. There are also penciled notes of past prices written on the ffep all relating to bookseller catalogues from the 19th century. The margins on the pages are sizable adding to the desirablility of this copy. References: Medina: México 5174 - GarcÃa Icazbalceta: Lenguas 55 - Viñaza 356 - Sabin no. 52413. There are three parts to this work: The first contains Molina's orthography. The second provides Otomi equivalents for over two thousand Spanish words and a list of numbers from one to one thousand. The third section consists of a grammar of the language in Spanish with examples of Otomi phrases. "The author was the first to establish a proper system of characters which has been since retained" --Sabin. Puente del Espiritu Santo, Cuidad de Mexico. Biblioteca Mexicana hardcover books

184056942Providence: G. A. Hidden & Co. n.d. 1840. Lithograph approx. 11" x 13" mounted old shadow from a previous mat in the margins old tears and creases evident but no apparent loss; good. The Providence Dyeing Bleaching & Calendring Co. began its operations on Sabin Street in Providence under the name Patent Calendering and Bleaching Company. In 1842 the company was incorporated as Providence Dyeing Bleaching and Calendering Company making official a name that had been in common usage for some time. By 1845 it had acquired a water privilege and industrial building along the Woonasquatucket in the Olneyville section of Providence. Converted for use as a bleachery this building provided the nucleus for the company's 19th-century expansion which included the construction between 1843 and 1875 of a Grey Room a Packing House and a Kier Room. In 1885 the company closed its Sabin Street plant consolidating all operations in Olneyville. The image in this lithograph is of the Sabin St. location. <br/><br/> G. A.

1866List806Washington: For the Author 1866. 8vo blue wraps 42 pp. Apparently a gift copy from Curtis. Near fine overall with minimal wear. Near Fine. A scarce survival from Lorenzo Snow's trial in the U.S. Supreme Court for polygamy under the Edmunds Act where two of his three convictions were eventually overturned as the court determined that the offense was continuous and therefore only warranted a single conviction. George Ticknor Curtis defended Snow and published this edition of his speech himself. Curtis argued that Snow had lived continuously with one woman and defended his right to have multiple "wives" as a matter of religious freedom. This copy with "From the Author" on the top margin of the title wrap apparently presented as a gift from Curtis. For the Author unknown books
