198649703Bordeaux William Blake and Co 1986 2 volumes in-8, brochs, couvertures illustres.Edition originale de cette passionnante correspondance qui tmoigne de la grande amiti qui liait Andr Lhote, Alain-Fournier et Jacques Rivire. A travers ces 210 lettres crites entre le 28 octobre 1907 et le 3 octobre 1924, on dcouvre les joies, les dceptions, les projets et les tracas de chacun. On remarquera en particulier parmi les 10 lettres d'Alain-Fournier crites en 1909, celle adresse Andr Lhote le 20 janvier 1909 dans laquelle l'crivain esquisse dj avec motion ce que sera son Grand Meaulnes : ... Dans mon livre il y aura bien d'autres ftes! dans les campagnes, les fermes et les jardins; bien d'autres promenades merveilleuses sous les pommiers de Pques; bien d'autres noces qui s'en iront en voiture, quand souffle le premier vent tide du printemps, gonflant la blouse des paysans et que midi sonne dans les villages...Le ton de la correspondance volue au fil des annes car la jeunesse insouciante disparat avec les proccupations professionnelles. Dans la dernire lettre adresse Andr Lhote le 26 juin 1914, Alain-Fournier crit: ... il faut nous rsigner maintenant que le temps est venu de raliser sans relche, ne nous crire que de brves lettres d'affaires amicales. Cela ne veut pas dire que rien soit chang dans l'affection trs fidle, trs dvoue, trs pleine de foi que je n'ai pas cess de vous porter... L'change pistolaire sera mme bris ds le dbut de la guerre: mobilis en 1914, Jacques Rivire est fait prisonnier le 24 aot, et Alain-Fournier disparat quelques semaines plus tard, le 22 septembre 1914. La correspondance s'interrompt le 18 juillet 1914, et il faut attendre le 13 aot 1917 pour qu'elle renaisse. 34 lettres sont alors changes, bien que les deux amis habitent le mme immeuble de la rue Boulard.Un des 100 premiers exemplaires sur papier Ingres d'Arches. Neufs, non coups.

Contemporary marbled calf, spines gilt in compartments, red and green labels, marbled edges, a bit rubbed. Goldsmiths 10270; Einaudi 3307; INED 2794; Higgs 3980; Weulersse, i, 136; not in Kress. First 8vo edition in 2 volumes. In the same year a 4to edition was published which is considered to have preceded the 8vo edition. It is considered the 'second textbook of Physiocrat orthodoxy' (Schumpeter, p. 225) and the author the 'ablest expositor of this (the Physiocrat) system' (McCulloch). Important physiocratic work, considered as the best survey of the doctrine. Adam Smith praised it and Catherine II of Russia invited the author to her court. It provoked Voltaire's L'homme aux quarante écus and De Mably's vehement criticism in his Doutes proposés aux philosophes économistes. - Modern bookplate on front paste-down.

1851406078New York: Wm. C. Locke & Co 1851. Wrappers chipped at edges professionally rebacked some unobtrusive offsetting on map. 8vo. 50 pages. Large folding map on three joined sheets 21 x 1788 cm; 8.25 x 61.75 inches. 11 woodblock illustrations in text and with 2 more not recorded in the index but always present. Original printed wrappers with woodblock vignette. SCARCE Hudson River Railroad travel guide published the first year in which the full line was completed. It covers points of interest along the route with woodblocks illustrating the text. Topics include: the history of the Hudson River the history of the construction of the Hudson River Railroad and the cities towns and villages along the Hudson from New York City all the way to Troy. <br /> <br /> Concerning the West Point Foundry at Cold Spring the guide states: "the iron foundry was established here by Gouverneur Kemble. The works are situated about a mile west of the village upon a small stream which tumbles rapidly down the mountains affording considerable water power. It is the largest establishment of its kind in the country employing nearly five hundred hands constantly."<br /> <br /> The building of the Hudson River Railroad is another topic in the guide. The project was considered highly impractical since much of the route had to be cut through extremely difficult rock and terrain. This section includes a description of the tunnels which had to be constructed. <br /> <br /> The railroad was opened in three stages. In September 1849 it allowed passengers to travel from New York to Peekskill. By that December 6 twenty-three additional miles were opened extending to New Hamburg. By the 31st of the month it was open the remaining distance of nine miles to Poughkeepsie. <br /> <br /> The Hudson River Railroad was an extension of the Troy and Greenbush Railroad which was chartered in 1845 connecting Troy South to Greenbush now Rensselaer on the east side of the Hudson. The Hudson River Railroad was chartered on May 12 1846 to extend this line south to New York City. The full line opened on October 3 1851 the same year in which this travel guide was published. WorldCat/OCLC records 25 copies but it is scarcely found complete with the map and the map is also excluded from the digitized versions available online. Wm. C. Locke & Co unknown

As Oxford Companion says Lamb's essays "present with exquisite humor and pathos and in a brilliant and inimitable style characters that the author has known . . . the productions of a playful or melancholy fancy . . . and general comments and criticism." The name "Elia" as Lamb says was "clapt down" on these essays in honor of a fellow clerk at South Sea House a building of commercial offices and the subject of the first essay. A second collection "The Last Essays of Elia" appeared in 1833. Charles Lamb 1775-1834 worked in the office of the East India Company and wrote poetry essays and plays. With his sister Mary he was the author of "Tales of Shakespeare" a flowing and lucid prose rendition of 20 of the bard's dramas that helped rekindle 19th century interest in the plays. The strikingly attractive binding done in an elaborately gilt style reminiscent of the Roger Payne era is the work of Riviere one of the foremost names among English binderies partly because the firm did consistently fine work and partly because it was so long in business. Robert Riviere began as a bookseller and binder in Bath in 1829 then set up shop as a binder in London in 1840; in 1881 he took his grandson Percival Calkin into partnership at which time the firm became known as Riviere & Son and the bindery continued to do business under the Riviere name until 1939 when it was acquired by Bayntun.
