17012506"A Gringuenaude i.e. Paris: chez Vincent d'Avalos & Fleurimont Mordant rue du Gros Visage a l'Enseigne du Privé Conseil attenant l'Hôtellerie de la Fleur" 1701. 12mo 129 x 76 mm. viii 64 pp. Half-title. Expressive woodcut vignette on title a chamber pot and its contents. Occasional very light spotting else fine. 19th-century citron morocco sides gilt panelled spine gilt lettered longitudinally turn-ins gilt gilt edges pair of vellum flyleaves by Koehler with his signature on verso of front free endpaper. First Edition of a silly scatological spoof. Farts excrement latrines and their Rabelaisian synonyms provide characters' and place names and an endless supply of windy jokes in this ultimately tragic love tale. The hero Prince Croqu'Etron Sht-eater son of the sneaky Roi de Vesse Silent-But-Deadly-Fart falls in love with the lovely Princess Foirette Diarrhea daughter of his father's enemy the open-hearted Roi Petaut Loud Fart. Abetted by King Vesse's minister Constipati whose secret liaison with one of Foirette's governesses Lady Clisterine Enema makes him take the Prince's side Croqu'Etron persuades his father to replace war with dynastic marriage a gentler path to territorial aggrandizement. Love vanquishes all King Petaud gives Prince Croqu'Etron a handsome commode chair and the Kingdom of Caca finds peace but the newly married lovers meet their demise at the hands of the evil Prince Gadouard Manure who drowns them in vats of perfume and is punished by the king with the opposite fate being buried alive in you know what. This clever extended dirty joke complete with satirical preface and facetious printing permission dated from Laval 1 Sept. 1701 and a final selection of verses sung at the royal marriage at some point became associated with the fairy tale author Mlle. de Lubert ca. 1702-ca. 1779 whose style it appears to parody. Either through a misunderstanding or as a joke the book was even sometimes attributed to her notwithstanding both its contents and the date of the permission d'imprimer. This is the only 18th-century edition but the book's publishing history was garbled by Gay who describes two 18th-century editions dating the supposed first ca. 1701 based on the facetious permission and a second edition from ca. 1790; according to Gay only the second edition contains the section titled Contes et devis. which appear in this edition on pp. 56-64. Confused library cataloguers have thus dated this edition to ca. 1790. Its typography however points to an earlier date. Stanford University holds a manuscript of the text from the Phillipps collection with textual variants dated 1716. Reprints appeared in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

15087Letter 4 pages folded from a sheet. May 28 1894. Partial transcription: "My darling childI cannot tell you how sorry I feel to have left you so poorly and with strangers. I do think that your mother's relatives are wanting in warm feeling to say the least of it but it is no use troubling ourselves about it. They are so warped up with themselves that they don't care for society it is too dull for them and they begrudge even a day or two. Your poor dear mother did not treat them like this but many a score of times used to trudge off alone to Pollys when she was scarcely able to do so and had to leave you to the mercy of a servant. When Polly always has a lot to take care of each other. You well have to look to outsiders rather than to them to seek for sympathy.<br/>It seems to me very unnatural but it is so and all the whining in the world won't alter it. It makes it very hard upon me I cannot see my way to ulterior otherwise as I have made my Bed I must lie upon it and I now feel how much I should like to be always with you. I am ____ ____ you yesterday struggling on was enough to make a heart of stone feel I now feel how much I love you and would do anything & everything to make your life more worth living. I shall be delighted when that you have gone to Warsford with your aunt do not let anything hunt you further my dear child I hope when I do see you again I find you once again beauteous and cheerful. With much love your affect Father. unknown books

192418762ELondon: Constable & Co 1924. This was the personal copy of the great American humorist author and screenwriter S.J. Perelman and was presented to him by his friend Heywood Hale Broun. Inscribed by Broun: “Happy Birthday from H.H. and J. LL. J. Jane Lloyd-Jones Broun’s wife This work by a man who would have liked to have met you. Feb. 1960.†With a document providing provenance laid in. Thin split to the front hinge otherwise a very good copy with some slight use and edge wear without dust jacket. Broun met Perelman when he was a guest on his radio show “Author Author!†and the two became fast friends. Sidney Joseph Perelman popularly known as S. J. Perelman 1904 – 1979 was one of the most widely read literary icons of the Golden Age of American Humor. His New Yorker pieces fiction and collected essays are legendary for their biting wit and mastery of caricature and language. Off and on throughout his career he worked in film notably as a contributing screenwriter on such Hollywood comedy classics as Monkey Business and Horse Feathers with the Marx Brothers Mike Todd’s Around the World in 80 Days for which he won an Oscar co-creator of the hit Broadway musical comedy One Touch of Venus starring Mary Martin as well as many publishing including twenty-one books radio television and travel writing ventures. He was the brother-in-law of the writer Nathanael West with whom he shared a close relationship up until West’s death in a car accident in 1940 at age thirty-seven and whose memory and literary reputation he devoted himself to maintaining. His inner circle of literary and show-business friends and associates included F. Scott Fitzgerald the Marx Brothers Mike Todd Harold Ross T.S. Eliot Al Hirschfeld Bennett Cerf Lillian Hellman Dashiell Hammett Dorothy Parker Fred Allen Kaufman and Hart Ogden Nash Ernest Hemingway W. Somerset Maugham etc. S.J. Perelman was a gifted man with conflicting desires living and working in complex times. While his writing brought much laughter to the world his personal life reflected his restless spirit and inner struggles with his relationships to his family friends and intimates. Dorothy Herrmann ends her wonderful biography of Perelman with these insights: “…his genius was unique…highly literate and inventive yet cranky and irreverent…perhaps no other modern writer was willing to match his commitment to words…Whether this was a rare gift or a feverish obsession is unimportant in the last analysis. For he made us forget for a brief time our own pain and sorrows – and enter a wild wonderful realm of fantasy that was sublime.†Constable & Co unknown books
