Rome, Date: 1774. Copper engraving by Ottaviani after drawings by Savorelli and Camporesi, printed in light brown coloured ink with contemporary hand-colouring. Good condition. Shaved within plate mark, expert neat repairs to left margin, one just affecting the image area. A stunning plate from "Logge di Rafaele nel Vaticano": with contemporary colouring of the highest quality from the golden age of the hand-coloured print. A very fine image from the second part of a work titled "Loggie di Rafaele nel Vaticano" depicting the decorative work executed by Raphael and his assistants between 1518-1519 in the Vatican. They were drawn by Gaetano Savorelli, a Roman painter and draughtsman best known for his Raphael drawings, and Pietro Camporesi, a Roman architect, who worked for Pope Clemens XIII and Pius VI on rooms for the Vatican Museum. The first to illustrate the famous frescoes, these beautiful plates were probably planned as early as 1760, but were not executed until 1772 to 1776. The plate is remarkable not only as the first important visual record of Raphael's work, but also for the quality of the hand-colouring - the work on this image is, in our opinion, some of the greatest to be produced in Europe during the whole of the eighteenth century: the golden age of the hand-coloured print. They were remarkable not just for their size and magnificent colouring, but also because of the influence they had on contemporary taste. The decision was made to "borrow" elements from ...

One large page, 9 x 5 1/2 inches. Superb and early autograph letter signed by famed American artist and illustrator Will Bradley to Frances F. Browne, a noted editor and literary critic with whom Bradley would work closely with, over the years. Written on Bradley's stationary, printed at top left: "Will H. Bradley/Artist/1111 Monadnock Building/Chicago." The letter is almost entirely taken up with design and description of his art: "Aug 25, -92. Mr. Frances F. Browne, Dear Sir: I will explain the design & send you by today's mail, as the pencil sketch is not very clear. Below the dial are laurel branches which support the dial and also two torches. The sun is indicated, its rays forming a background to add a little strength to center of design. The laurel branches are woven to form four leaf shaped designs in the center of which are emblems, the ribbon work continues below the title and on this I have indicated the sub-title as it will help to make the design compact. The rough sketch looks a little crowded, but the finished drawing will not appear so, as the title will be strong... " Very good, with slight browning to bottom, crease marks barely visible to face of letter. Early Will Bradley letters are scarce, especially with association. US

Newark: Printed by Matthias Day, Date: 1800. Title, 1-(456); i-(xxii); (1)-46. Errata sheet bound in. 1 vols. 8vo (signed in fours). Full contemporary sheepskin, border of blind-stamped dots on covers. Owners' signatures (one contemporary) and stamps. Some wear to joints and hinges, generally browned, dampstaining to preliminaries at gutter, else a very good, sturdy copy. A FIRST IN WOMEN'S AND BLACK SUFFRAGE. Title, 1-(456); i-(xxii); (1)-46. Errata sheet bound in. 1 vols. 8vo (signed in fours). Notable on page 231, paragraph XI, is a reiteration of legislation originally set fourth in the New Jersey Constitution, in 1776, reading in part: "And be it enacted, That all free inhabitants of this state, of full age, who are worth fifty pounds proclamation money, and have resided within the county in which they claim a vote for twelve months immediately preceding the election, shall be entitled to vote for all public officers..." Once dismissed as a possible oversight or sloppy wording on the part of its framers, historians now believe that the phrase "all free inhabitants" intentionally extended the right to vote, not only to women, but to free blacks, as well as aliens. In addition, the act does include a property requirement, only that the person be worth "fifty pounds proclamation money," which included cash. This short-lived legislation, which was rescinded in 1807, makes New Jersey the first state to extend the right to vote citizens regardless of race or gender. Evans ...

Date: 1892. San Francisco | New York: Western Authors Publishing Company, 1892. Original blind-stamped light grey cloth, beveled. First Edition of Bierce's first volume of verse, published the year after his most famous book, TALES OF SOLDIERS AND CIVILIANS. There are about 150 short poems (which he terms "beetles"), mostly gleaned from appearances in newspapers. Bierce had seen action, including at Shiloh, in an Indiana Infantry Regiment; his anti-war sentiments, and fixation with death, are reflected in his writings. In our experience this is a tough book to find in decent condition, due to its light grey cloth and frugal use of gilt. This is a nearly fine copy, however, with scarcely any wear and with only the slightest hint of soil (near the covers' fore-edge). Blanck 1111. 1892. US

Leiden: Brill, Date: 2016. First edition. Hardcover. Fine. Octavo. 2 vols. xxiii, (1), 454; xx, 344pp. Each volume with separate indices; Vol. 1, with a 40 page bibliography. Pictorial magenta boards lettered in white with lilac spine labels. A fine, as new set. Volume I offers an account of Abū Ḥāmid al-Ghazālī (d. 505/1111) as a rational theologian who created a symbiosis of philosophy and theology and infused rationality into Sufism. The majority of the papers herein deal with important topics of al-Ghazālī's work, which demonstrate his rational treatment of the Qurʾān and major subjects of Islamic theology and everyday life of Muslims. Some other contributions address al-Ghazālī's sources and how his intellectual endeavors were later received by scholars who had the same concern of reconciling religion and rationality within Islam, Christianity and Judaism. Volume II brings together twelve leading experts on al-Ghazālī who write about his thoughts and the impact they had on later Muslim thinkers. Contents: v. 1. God versus causality: Al-Ghazālī's solution and its historical background / Hans Daiber -- Al-Ghazālī's changing attitude to philosophy / Wilferd Madelung -- Al-Ghazālī and the rationalization of Sufism / Binyamin Abrahamov -- Revelation, sciences and symbolism: Al-Ghazālī's Jawāhir al-Qurʼān / Georges Tamer -- Al-Ghazālī at his most rationalist: the universal rule for allegorically interpreting revelation (al-Qānūn al-Kullī ...

NEW JERSEY. LAWS. Acts of the twenty-fifth general assembly of the state of New-Jersey. At a session begun at Trenton, on the twenty-eighth day of October, one thousand eight hundred, and continued by adjournments. Being the first sitting. Trenton: Sherman, Mershon & Thomas, 1800. 8vo. 29, [2] p. Untrimmed. Later law buckram, leather spine labels. Ex-library, with old stamp on title but no external markings. The first New Jersey session laws to be produced in octavo format. For nearly a hundred years the major New Jersey government documents--session laws, assembly votes, council journals--were published in folio format. In early November 1800, the state printers at the time, George Sherman, John Mershon, and Isaiah Thomas, petitioned the assembly to reduce government document printing from folio to octavo, and they presented the cost-saving statistics. The assembly was convinced, and from then on the standard government printing was done in octavo. Evans 38062; Felcone, Printing in New Jersey, 1754-1800, 1111; ESTC W25911. US

San Francisco and New York: Western Authors Publishing Company, Date: 1892. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. A volume of satirical verses and sketches collected from Bierce''s journalism. A reviewer for the Californian Illustrated Magazine observed that the "black beetles are prominent citizens of California - public men, lawyers, judges, journalists, social leaders, and clubmen - whom Mr. Bierce has first impaled on the needle of satire and then embalmed in the amber of his poetic fancy. This he has done as a whole cleverly, sometimes very excellently. He has his own ideas as to the propriety of his work, and frankly says that he makes no apologies either for its production or preservation." Frontispiece portrait by J.H.E. Parlington. Octavo. Original gray cloth binding, with beveled edges, blind-stamped borders, gilt titles, and decorative endpapers. Small period bookseller's label to the rear pastedown. The spine is a touch sun faded, with some minor wear to the corners and tips; otherwise very good. BAL 1111. 1892. Western Authors Publishing Company US

Stockhoolm: Moderna Museet, Date: 1970. Very Good. Stockholm: Moderna Museet, 1970. First Edition. Quarto (27x21.5x1.5cm); unpaginated [162pp], including biography, chronology, and bibliography. Twelve photographic gatefold spreads, each followed by numerous full-page B&W photographs. Text in parallel Swedish and English. Deliberately rudimentary stab-stapled binding covered in binder's tape, with coated card front and thick cardboard back, as designed and published. Textblock in repeated sequences, each beginning with a gatefold on coated paper, followed by a textual page on yellow wove paper, followed by a sequence of B&W stills for 12 tableaux. The binder's tape serving as spine is peeling (about 1.5cm) at crown and foot, but this is probably as much a desired outcome for Kienholz and Pontus Hultén as anything. Some rubbing to front surface, but otherwise unmarred and unmarked. Edward Kienholz (1927-1994) was an American installation and sculptural tableau artist, and a sardonic, sometimes gruesome, critic of modern life. Pontus Hultén (1924-2006), curator of this show, would go on to create major shows at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and to become the first director of the Pompidou Center in Paris. He remains renowned for his funky and eccentric exhibition catalogs, bound in atypical ways, of which this is an early example. This volume is the catalog of the Kienholz exhibition held at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm from 17 January to 1 March 1970, and ...

FIRST EDITION. A scholarly text in which Hinman emphasized structure and function in health and disease and clinical urology rather than operative surgery. It remains a valuable source book. Murphy, History of urology, p. 199. First edition. Frank Hinman, graduated from Stanford, took his medical training at Johns Hopkins Medical School (under Osler, Kelly, Welch, Halsted, and Hugh Hampton Young), and was Clinical Professor of Urology at Berkeley. He was the first trained urologist in California. His son, Frank Hinman Jr., also followed him in this same field with distinction and worked with each other in private practice. "In 1935 Hinman published his Principles and Practice of Urology, a scholarly text in which he emphasized structure and function in health and disease and clinical urology rather than operative surgery, and it remains a valuable source book." – Murphy, History of Urology, p. 199. "Besides being an outstanding clinician, Dr. Hinman was a scientist at heart. Whenever he faced a problem in his clinical practice, his mind immediately shifted to the research lab. His broad research interests covered diverse topics: hexamethylenamine, priapism, the waxed-tipped catheter, renal and prostatic (perineal) operative techniques, radical surgery for testicular tumors, renal ...
