26988'Fox Film Comp. / California'. 9 August 1932. Fox agreed to the film on condition that von Stroheim was limited to shooting 85000 feet of film around an hour and a half of screen time. The studio was pleased when he brought it in on time he tied a thread around lead actor James Dunn’s genitals and tugged on it every time he wanted him to show emotion and on budget but a screening left them appalled at the morbid content. Von Stroheim was sacked and the film was rewritten and renamed ‘Hello Sister!’ with three-quarters of the original retained. It was a flop and von Stroheim chose never to direct again. 168pp 4to with four pages of prelims followed by script paginated 1-157 with seven added pages 6A 28A 42A 65a 76A 133a 147A.

190079398Chaumot Nièvre Chaumot 1900. Fine. Chaumot Nièvre Chaumot 4 juin 1900 13.80 x 21.30 cm une feuille Autograph letter signed by Jules Renard addressed to Gabrielle Réval. One and a half pages written in black ink on letterhead paper from ""Gloriette"" the writer's residence in Nièvre. Transverse fold lines inherent to mailing. Fine letter to this fellow writer alluding to Poil de Carotte: ""Je suis au moins aussi content que vous. Certes je n'avais pas oublié le manuscrit où Poil de Carotte était si bien compris - et aimé - j'avais oublié la signature."" ""I am at least as pleased as you are. Certainly I had not forgotten the manuscript where Poil de Carotte was so well understood - and loved - I had forgotten the signature."" He mentions Gabrielle Réval's book: ""Et tant mieux ; car j'ai lu les Sèvriennes et non le livre d'une amie de Poil de Carotte. L'auteur seul a plu le lecteur seul a été touché. Il y a de belles réussites vous le voyez madame."" ""So much the better; for I read the Sèvriennes and not the book of a friend of Poil de Carotte. The author alone pleased the reader alone was moved. There are beautiful successes you see madam."" Jules Renard already enjoyed considerable success at this time: ""Il me répugnerait de jour au vieux maître sachez pourtant que j'ai déjà reçu bien des livres écrit bien des lettres en quelle proportion par politesse je ne sais plus mais aucune ne fut plus spontanée que celle dont vous me remerciez aimablement."" ""It would repel me to play the old master know however that I have already received many books written many letters in what proportion out of politeness I no longer know but none was more spontaneous than the one for which you thank me kindly."" The highly laudatory letter alluded to here is preserved at the Jean Jaurès Media Library in Nevers and was written by Renard a few days before ours: ""Ce n'est pas l'auteur des Sévriennes que je remercie c'est vous. C'est grâce à vous que j'ai lu par cette froide fin de mai entre la première rose de mon jardin et les dernières flammes de ma cheminée un beau Livre."" ""It is not the author of the Sévriennes that I thank it is you. It is thanks to you that I read during this cold end of May between the first rose of my garden and the last flames of my fireplace a beautiful Book."" Gabrielle Réval was one of the co-founders of the Prix de la Vie heureuse which would later become the Prix Femina. unknown
1802AQ19691London: s.n. 1802. 4pp; three pages of text with integral address panel. Some marking loss to folds and torn to seal opening. 'Did you ever consider the business of the K's Civil List in a legal point of view I mean to what revenues he is entitled by Law at his Access and by what Law. Blackstone is not at all explicit on the subject' A detailed inquiry by leading Whig politician Charles James Fox 1749-1806 on February 23rd 1802 on a distinct matter of law relating to the royal revenue and referencing Blackstone to the future Attorney General Sir Arthur Leary Piggott 1749-1819. Both Piggott and Fox were later to serve together in the Ministry of all the Talents but this autograph letter reveals the exploratory discussions amongst leading Whigs in the opening stages of greater Parliamentary scrutiny of the Civil List. Precipitated by rapid growth in the Civil List debt which had reached almost £900000 by January 1802 the situation provided an opening for Whiggish political positioning; on March 29th of the same year Fox railed against the situation in the House in a manner very much presaged in this letter arguing that the moment 'that Parliament exonerated the Crown from the expenses of levying fleets and armies.the hereditary revenues became the property of the public'. A significant manuscript displaying not only the political nous of the wily Fox - always scanning the horizon for an opportunity to return from the political wilderness that his opposition to the French war had forced - but also the growing constitutional significance of the problems of Civil List expenditure. . Quarto. [s.n.] unknown

Title page provided in facsimile. Corrosion to 2nd page of preface. Foxing marginal soiling. Lacks third table. <br> George Fox was a founder of the Religious Society of Friends commonly known as the Quakers or Friends. He rebelled against the religious and political authorities by proposing an unusual and uncompromising approach to the Christian faith. He traveled throughout Britain as a dissenting preacher. He was often persecuted by the authorities who disapproved of his beliefs.This work was edited by Thomas Ellwood an associate of John Milton. Interestingly this journal omits the dissent within the Quaker movements and the contributions of others are largely excluded. Historians have used it as a primary source because of its wealth of detail on ordinary life in the 17th century and the many towns and villages which Fox visited. Jones Rufus Preface of Jone's version of Fox's journal 1908. <br> Ellwood describes Fox as zgraceful in countenance manly in personage grave in gesture courteous in conversation." Peen says he was "civil beyond all forms of breeding". We are that he was "plain and powerful in preaching fervent in prayer" "a discerner of other men's spirits and very master of his own".

I called upon your Brother yesterday and left with him the letters that passed between you & me explaining that it was at your desire that I did. I was very glad to have your authority. I was very much inclined to take it even of my own when I was supposed he was to be my Successor now that he knows the whole of the transaction if he still choses as I fear he will to go into this den of Thieves neither your nor I have any thing to answer for. If this transaction had been witheld from him he might have had reason to complain of me but much more of you. I have not heard from him since he has been au fait. His expressions both to me personally & to the party were so kind that I am far from considering him as lost but wether he is or not and whatever part your situation may make it right for you to take in Politics I shall always depend upon your friendship & kindness to me as perfectly unalterable. that most contributes to keep up my spirits in this very trying situation." 3 sides 4to.
