9 BLACKWELL, Elizabeth (d.1758). A Curious Herbal, containing Five Hundred Cuts of the most useful Plant which are now used in the Practice of Physick. Engraved on folio Copper Plates, after Drawings, taken from the Life… To which is added a short Description of ye Plants and their common Uses in Physick. London: John Nourse, 1739.

2 volumes, folio (398 x 247 mm). 2 engraved titles, 4 engraved dedicatory leaves, 2 engraved leaves “English Index,” 2 engraved leaves “Catalogus Plantarum,” 125 engraved leaves of explanatory text and 500 hand-colored plates (some minor pale foxing and offsetting throughout, plates 113-116 and their explanatory text leaf bound after 117-120 in Vol. I, some minor marginal worming on upper margins of some plates at end of Vol. I, some toning to plates at beginning of Vol. II and occasionally elsewhere, Plate 354 with 5-inch repaired tear crossing image, occasional marginal finger-soiling). Contemporary mottled calf, edges uncut (rebacked, some edge repairs, worn). Provenance: purchased from Hamill and Barker, 1966; Anita Peek Gilger copy (sold Christie’s New York, 14 October 2003, lot 11).

Henrey’s fourth issue, except here the dedication in vol. II is to Robert Nicholls and vol II. is without the dedications to Henry Plumptre, Joseph Miller or John Johnstone. The work’s bibliographical history is complicated and not fully documented. “There is no uniformity with regard to the number of dedications contained in the various issues, or in the order in which the preliminary leaves are arranged” (Henrey).

Elizabeth Blackwell undertook the work with the encouragement of various eminent members of the medical profession and with the intention of paying off her husband Alexander’s debts. She took a house opposite the Chelsea Physic Garden, at 4, Swan Walk, at the suggestion of Isaac Reed, in order to draw and engrave the plants. Her husband helped by supplying the common names of the plants in various languages.

The work was a success, and she achieved her object. She accompanied her husband to Sweden where he was employed as an agricultural expert (Linnaeus visited him in 1746), but he unfortunately became involved in politics, was arrested and eventually beheaded on 29 July 1747, for his part in a conspiracy to alter the Swedish succession. Elizabeth, who died in 1758, is buried in the churchyard of Chelsea Old Church.

10 BORN, Max (1882-1970). Typed letter signed (“Max Born”) to Samuel Goudsmit. Edinburgh, 6 December 1951. 1 page, 4to, 254 x 203 mm, on University of Edinburgh stationery, received stamp lower margin, red pencil annotation upper corner, a few tiny holes upper left corner, creased.

“IT IS NOT SO MUCH THE FINANCIAL QUESTION WHICH ANGERS ME, BUT THE INCREDIBLE DISREGARD FOR SCIENTIFIC WORK AND DIGNITY.” Born enlists the help of American physicist Samuel Goudsmit (1902-1978) regarding royalties for his 1932 textbook on optics whose copyrights were seized by the Custodian of Alien Property after the Second World War. In his letter, Born refers to a Letter to the Editor he wrote for the Manchester Guardian on 27 November 1951 (not present): “In 1932 I published a voluminous textbook on optics...Six months later I had to leave Germany as a victim of Hitler’s persecution...From that moment I received no royalties from the book...After the war the book, like many others from German publishing firms, was confiscated by the United States Government.” Born writes Goudsmit: “I would be grateful if you could induce the American Physical Society and any other bodies to take up the matter, and perhaps publish a copy of my letter in one of the big American newspapers or even in a physical periodical.”

Goudsmit’s papers (digitized by the American Institute of Physics) include this letter, and contain correspondence between Goudsmit, Born, and the Department of State regarding the matter of Born’s copyrights; his papers also include a carbon copy of a letter sent to born by the Office of Alien Property regarding the issue of his copyrights. $300-400

23 CAPUTO, Philip (b. 1941). A collection of 2 typed poems signed with carbon copies (“Philip Caputo”), 2 autograph letters signed (“Phil”), and one typed letter signed (“Phil”), 2 December 1973 - 19 April 1977, a few typed and handwritten corrections. Together 15 pages, 4to, with two envelopes.

Comprising apparently-unpublished poems “The Veterans,” and “The Walking Dead,” as well as a small group of personal correspondence.

Philip Caputo served as an infantry lieutenant in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam War. Following his service, he began his journalism career at the Chicago Tribune in 1968, where he won a Pulitzer Prize for reporting on election fraud in Chicago. Starting in 1973, and for the next 5 years, he worked as a foreign correspondent for the Tribune. His Vietnam memoir, A Rumor of War, was published in 1977, and has sold over two million copies; the novel was adapted as a two-part television movie in 1980.

In “The Veterans”, Caputo writes: On those roads which trace civilization’s long retreat, we died of unseen wounds, / Never washed by tears nor gentle rain; / We wonder if it’s lust for all we lost / That bids us return to die again.” Copies of both The Veterans,” and “The Walking Dead” are present in Caputo’s papers at Boston University’s Howard Gottleib Archival Research Center.

Correspondence includes letters written from Italy and Moscow (“Moscow is about as well as can be expected. This is not the kind of place one can love. I’m hoping I can eventually learn to tolerate it”). $400-600 24 CARPENTER, Nathanael (1589-1628?). Geography delineated forth in Two Bookes. Containing the sphaericall and topicall parts thereof. Oxford: John Lichfield and William Turner, printers to the famous University, for Henry Cripps, 1625.

4to (208 x 145mm). 3 folding letterpress tables (of 4, lacking that at p. 228 in the second part), woodcut diagrams in text, each part with first and final blanks, errata leaf at end. (Some marginal dust-soiling.) Contemporary olive green velvet over pasteboard, remnants of ties, edges gauffered (text block cracked with some leaves becoming loose, velvet worn); quarter calf folding case. Provenance: Thomas Langley (early calligraphic signatures on front pastedown and free endpaper, one dated 1662).

FIRST EDITION. Carpenter’s primer for Oxford students contains a cautious discussion of “a Spanish Chart taken by the Hollanders” showing California as an island; the recent North-West Passage expeditions undertaken by Henry Hudson (1610-11) and Thomas Button (1612-13) are cited as grounds for the author’s skepticism. It also contains an early definition of geography as a discipline.

“Unable himself fully to accept the Copernican system, Carpenter presented his readers with a faithful account of it and encouraged them to weigh the evidence for themselves” (ODNB). ESTC S107662; Sabin 10999; STC 4676. $1,000-1,500

25 CASSIN, John (1813-1869). Illustrations of the Birds of California, Texas, Oregon, British and Russian America. Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott & Co., 1853-1856.

FIRST EDITION of Cassin’s ornithological work including species not described by Audubon or other American naturalists.

Sabin 11369. $1,500-2,500

Cather responds with palpable annoyance to a presumptuous young fan: “Persistence wins, they say; but I think it wins much more easily when it is accompanied by a certain courtesy and delicacy. I get a great many letters from young boys, but they are seldom so inconsiderate as to present me with a questionnaire... You can readily see that it would be preposterous if a writer attempted to explain his book to several hundred thousand readers, and one reader has just as much right to ask questions as another. When I call your attention to this I am sure you will understand why I did not answer your earlier letters.”

[Framed With:] HOPPÉ, Emil Otto (1878-1972). Gelatin silver print portrait of Cather, 1921, visible image 162 x 104 mm. $400-600

II, 8vo (219 x 134 mm). 9 folding maps (6 loosely inserted in cover pockets) and 47 plates and views (some maps with some minor foxing or offsetting, 2 folding maps in Vol. III each with a small marginal repair at gutter; some minor spotting or soiling to some plates).

Provenance: Wicksted, Shakenhurst (inscription on front endpaper in Vols. II and III).

FIRST EDITION OF DARWIN’S FIRST PUBLISHED BOOK, second issue of volume III. Described as “one of the most famous journeys ever undertaken,” the Admiralty Surveying Expedition of H.M.S. Beagle (1831-1836) carried the 23-year old Charles Darwin as Naturalist and Geologist. It was his observations on the voyage which gave birth to and gradually strengthened his convictions regarding natural selection and evolution. On the first voyage of 1826-1830, King and Fitzroy charted the coasts of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego, and on the second voyage (1831-1836) further charted the South American and Australian coasts, the Galapagos Islands, New Zealand and Tahiti. Magnetic observations in the appendix are by Edward Sabine who was with both John Ross and William Parry in the Arctic. Darwin’s own investigations, most notably in the Galapagos, are fully contained in vol. III, together with his journey up the Parana River and into the Andes towards the Cordillera. He later wrote that this voyage had “been by far the most important event in my life, and has determined my whole career.”

Expedition artists were Augustus Earle and Conrad Martens from whose drawings many of the engravings were prepared. Freeman 11; Hill 607; Norman 585; Sabin 37826. A FINE COPY. $25,000-35,000

40 DARWIN, Charles Robert (1809-1882). On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection. London: W. Clowes and Sons for John Murray, 1859.

8vo (198 x 122mm). Half-title [with 2 quotations on the verso]. Folding lithographic diagram by William West after Darwin. 32-page publisher’s catalogue dated June 1859 [Freeman variant 3] bound at end. (Preliminary leaves, including title, with margins brittle and with some chipping; half-title slightly short with split at gutter tissue-repaired; some minor marginal toning.) Original green cloth by Edmonds & Remnants with their ticket on the lower pastedown, covers panelled in blind, the spine lettered and decorated in gilt [Freeman variant a] (recased preserving original endpapers, spine dulled and repaired at ends, some wear to joints and extremities); quarter morocco folding case.

FIRST EDITION OF “THE MOST IMPORTANT SINGLE WORK IN SCIENCE” (Dibner). Although some key observations and findings from the voyage of the Beagle acted as his initial inspiration, Darwin’s ideas about the beneficial mutation of species did not coalesce into the theory of evolution until his reading of Thomas Malthus’s Essay on the Principle of Population in the latter half of 1838. In his Essay, Malthus presented a statistical argument that unrestrained human populations breed beyond their means and struggle to survive; Darwin related Malthus’s argument to the competition for resources among wildlife and to botanist de Candolle’s “warring of the species” in plants. It became clear to him that general competition among living things was part of the “struggle for existence,” and only the best-adapted survived. Although the idea of species evolution can be traced to the Greek “great chain of being,” Darwin’s eventual argument for the existence of a viable mechanism - natural selection - made the concept acceptable to the scientific community.

He completed a 35-page sketch of his evolutionary theory in June 1842, which he converted into a 231-page essay by February 1844. He returned to his notes in late 1854, and after consulting Charles Lyell, began writing an extended treatise for his scientific peers on 14 May 1856. Nearly two years later, in March 1858, “Natural Selection” was two-thirds complete at 250,000 words, and was projected to be published as a three-volume work. In June of the same year, he received a letter form Alfred Russell Wallace regarding his own independent conclusions about evolution. Both scientists presented papers to the Linnean Society on 1 July 1858. At Joseph Dalton Hooker’s suggestion, Darwin completed an abbreviated manuscript of “Natural Selection,” comprising 155,000 words, in April 1859. Stripped of references, the new work was not aimed at specialists, but rather the general reading public. The work was published as On the Origin of Species on 24 November 1859 in an initial print run of 1250 copies, and has since become regarded as “a turning point, not only in the history of science, but in the history of ideas in general" (DSB).

FIRST EDITION, PRESENTATION COPY, inscribed (in the hand of a publisher’s clerk) on the front flyleaf: “From the Author.” This work was the first of Darwin’s works to publish extensive evidence supporting his theory of Evolution through natural selection. “In my volume ‘On the Origin of Species’ I have given only general reasons for my belief that it is apparently a universal law of nature that organic beings require an occasional cross with another individual… Having been blamed for propounding this doctrine without giving ample facts, for which I had not, in that work, sufficient space, I wish to show that I have not spoken without having gone into details” (Introduction).

FIRST EDITION, FIRST ISSUE, THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF THE WORD “EVOLUTION” IN DARWIN’S WORKS, preceding its appearance in the sixth edition of On the Origin of Species the following year. "This is really two works. The first demolished the theory that the universe was created for Man, while in the second Darwin presented a mass of evidence in support of his earlier hypothesis regarding sexual selection" (Garrison-Morton). In 1847 Wallace and Bates, friends through their shared interest in entomology, set out to "travel to the tropical jungles to collect specimens, ship them home for sale, and gather facts 'towards solving the problem of the origin of species' - a frequent topic of their conversations" (DSB). Wallace and Darwin’s researches so closely mirrored each other that in 1858 the two published a joint first announcement of the theory of natural selection.

Bates stayed in South America for eleven years, returning the year after Darwin presented his first papers to the Linnean Society. He was an avid supporter of Darwin’s arguments, and Darwin showed great interest in his researches into mimicry amongst butterflies, in which Bates saw “a most beautiful proof of natural selection.” Darwin described one of Bates’ papers on the subject as “one of the most remarkable and admirable papers I have ever read in my life” (DSB).

8vo (182 x 118mm). 7 heliotype plates by O. G. Rejlander (3 folding), numerous illustrations in text; 4 pp. publisher’s advertisements at end dated November 1872. (Title a little soiled, some very slight marginal toning, folding plates with some minor pale spotting on verso.)

Original green cloth by Edmonds & Remnants with their ticket on the lower pastedown (minor wear to spine ends and corners, a few bumps to board edges, hinges cracked); quarter morocco folding case. Provenance: George Harris (1809-1890), prominent psychologist, scientist and correspondent of Darwin (presentation inscription from the author); Walter Spindler (1878-1940), English artist best known for his portrait of Sarah Bernhardt (signature and note on front free endpaper dated March 1907, and his extensive underlinings and neat marginal notations on approximately18 pages).

FIRST EDITION, Freeman’s First Issue (but with photographic plates numbered in Roman).

PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED IN DARWIN’S HAND TO GEORGE HARRIS on the title-page.

Additionally inscribed by the publisher’s clerk “From the Author” on front flyleaf. And with a holograph envelope cover addressed in Darwin’s hand to Harris tipped-in on leaf facing the title.

“With this book Darwin founded the study of ethology (animal behavior) and conveyance of information (communication theory) and made a major contribution to psychology” (DSB).

The work contains studies of facial and other types of expression in man and mammals, and their relationship to various emotions. “This is an important member of the evolutionary set, and it was written, in part at least, as a confutation of the idea that the facial muscles of expression in man were a special endowment” (Freeman).

George Harris (1809-1890) was a barrister and judge with strong interests in anthropology and psychology. During 1874-1876, George Harris solicited comments and suggestions from many eminent philosophers, theologians and naturalists concerning the ideas and language of his planned treatise on the nature of man for his A Philosophical Treatise on the Nature and Constitution of Man published in 1876.

The present copy (as well as most other presentation copies) has its plates numbered in roman instead of arabic, contradicting Freeman’s priority of arabic numbered plates: since this copy was one of those specially prepared for presentation by having its edges trimmed by the binder, it is most likely that Darwin would have presented copies from the earlier issue.

Autograph letter signed (“Charles Darwin”) to Lady Dorothy Fanny Nevill (“Madam”), Down, Bromley, Kent, 27 November [1861]. 4 pages, 8vo (203 x 127 mm), on a bifolium. Creased.

“I am convinced that orchids have a wicked power of witchcraft, for I ought all these months to be working at the dry old bones of poultry, pigeons, and rabbits instead of intensely admiring beautiful orchids…”

A fine letter in which Darwin thanks Lady Nevill for her kindness and assistance in supplying him with plants, and mentioning his forthcoming work on orchids [On the Various Contrivances by which British and Foreign Orchids are Fertilised by Insects] which he had promised to send her when it was published. “…I am pleased to hear that my Books have at all interested you; but I fear my little Orchid book will be dry. This summer when at the sea, I meant merely to write a paper for some scientific journal, but the subject grew on me till my M.S. got rather too long for a paper. I am convinced that orchids have a wicked power of witchcraft, for I ought all these months to be working at the dry old bones of poultry, pigeons, and rabbits instead of intensely admiring beautiful orchids. - I mention all this, because, though I can hardly bear to write the words, I must beg your Ladyship not to send any more of your treasures; though perhaps at some future period I may indulge myself with the examination of a few more orchids. - I will not forget your Ladyships most generous offer to give me other flowers, if I require them for observation, & I have no doubt that I shall some time be a beggar again of the beauties - I am truly obliged to your Ladyship for taking the truth to write to Mr. Veitch [Chelsea nursery firm of James Veitch]; who has already sent me some orchids & with much generosity refused[?] all payment for cut flowers. - I see in ‘Cottage Gardner’ of this morning, an account of the beauties of Dangstein, which I shall now read with interest.”

Darwin also sends his regards to naturalist Arthur Edward Knox and paleontologist Sir Philip Egerton: “If your Ladyship should meet Mr [Arthur Edward] Knox I hope that you will remember me to him: I spent many years ago a very pleasant morning with him & Sir Philip Egerton at the Zoological Gardens…” In a postscript he adds: “Since writing I have reason to hope that I shall receive a flower of Mormodes from Mr Rucker of Wandsworth”.

Lady Dorothy Fanny Nevill (1826-1913), the daughter of Horatio Walpole, 3rd Earl of Orford, developed a notable garden at Dangstein near Petersfield, where she cultivated orchids and pitcher-plants. Nevill was provided Darwin with samples of, and observations from, her garden. In Insectivorous Plants (1875) Darwin credited Lady Nevill with having sent him an Australian plant and a utricularia montana. In her Reminiscences, Nevill noted that she had maintained correspondence with Darwin, William Hooker, and Joseph Hooker, all of whom she felt had an avid interest in her garden. $6,000-8,000

An advertisement for Edmund D. Brooks’ firm, in the 6 July 1912 issue of The Bellman, includes an advertisement for "A Rare Book from the Doves Bindery. A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens...Elegantly bound in full Niger Morocco, gold tooling, edges gilt, original covers preserved in COBDEN-SANDERSON's masterly manner" (p.24).

Tidcombe records 3 other works bound for “E. L. Brooks, Minneapolis” (i.e. Edmund D. Brooks). The first, a copy of John Keats’s Lamia and other Poems (1820), includes a rose, forget-me-not and leaf design (Tidcombe 717, binding undated). The second, a copy of John Keats's Endymion (1818), is similarly bound to the present work with an oak leaf wreath in the center within an interlacing strapwork panel (Tidcombe 718, binding undated). The third, a copy of Alfred Lord Tennyson's In Memoriam, incorporates tulips and a center wreath (Tidcombe 771, binding dated 27 September 1912).

Edmund DeWitt Brooks was born and raised in Minnesota, where his family, with roots on the East Coast, settled in 1864. His greatgrandfather, Captain James Brooks, was a member of Washington’s Life Guard during the Revolutionary War. Edmund Brooks began working as a books and manuscripts dealer in 1901, and quickly became a significant contributor to the development of literary culture in Minneapolis.

He spent several months each year in London and in Continental Europe, and counted among his friends many significant literary and art figures in the English-speaking world. He was a member of the Caxton Club, the Rowfant Club, the California Book Club, and the Authors Club of London. Tidcombe 761. $10,000-15,000

69 [FINE PRESS & LIVRE D’ARTISTE]. -- [KELMSCOTT PRESS]. CHAUCER, Geoffrey. The Works ... now newly imprinted. Edited by F.S. Ellis.

Hammersmith: Kelmscott Press, 1896.

Folio (424 x 288 mm). Chaucer and Troy types, printed in black and red, woodcut title, borders and initials by C.E. Keates, W.H. Hooper and W. Spielmeyer after William Morris, 87 woodcut illustrations by W.H. Hooper after Edward Burne-Jones. Early 20th-century vellum gilt, spine in seven compartments with 6 raised bands, gilt lettered in second and seventh, yapp edges, uncut, STAMP-SIGNED BY PETER FRANCK (slight even fading to spine); red morocco gilt lettering-piece from previous binding laid in; full morocco folding case. Provenance: Philip Duschnes (booklabel, see below); John Whiting Friel and Helen Otillie Friel (bookplate designed by Rockwell Kent).

IN A FINE BINDING FOR DUSCHNES WHICH PETER FRANCK SPOKE OF “WITH PRIDE” (Guild of Book Workers Journal).

Franck began his vocation as a binder at age thirteen as an apprentice at his uncle’s bindery in Landau. He came to the United States in 1907 and began working as a binder at the Roycroft shop. He bound for the Caxton Printers and Stikeman and Company, before returning to his native Germany in 1920 where he worked for the Bremer Press bindery in Munich. After several years, he returned to New York where he worked again for Stikeman and Company, and later the Blackwell-Bennett Bindery. In 1925, he began working for the printing house of William Edwin Rudge in Mt. Vernon, New York. In 1932, he established his own workshop in Sherman, Connecticut; that same year, he was chosen as a member of the Meister der Einbandkunst, one of the highest honors for a bookbinder.

“It was during this period that Peter’s finest work was done. He had joined the Guild of Book Workers in 1929 and in 1932 began exhibiting his work” (Lucy Crump, “Peter Franck, American Hand Binder,” Guild of Book Workers Journal, Fall 1964, pp.7-8). He bound several copies of Dard Hunter’s private press books in full vellum, and “one of each of these is held by the Dard Hunter Museum at the Paper Chemistry Institute in Appleton, Wisconsin [now at the Robert C. Williams Museum of Papermaking at Georgia Tech]” (ibid., p.8). A binding Franck “speaks of with pride is one he did for Philip Duschnes. This is a Kelmscott press complete Chaucer. I quote the catalogue, ‘Folio, full vellum, uncut, with vellum overleaf on covers, gilt lettering, six raised bands, with exceptionally fine marble like veining, by Peter Franck.’ Incidentally, the price of the above is listed at $1,250” (ibid. p.9). Writing about the process of binding in vellum, Franck notes: “One must be warned in pressing to pay attention to the height of the printing punch, for example the Kelmscot (sic) Press ‘Chaucer’, where the print and wood-cut illustrations are very deeply impressed. In this case, sufficient hand-made paper stubs must be added before or during the sewing to equalize the height of the punch” (translated by Betsy Palmer, “Vellum Binding,” Guild of Book Workers Journal, Fall 1964, p.13).

LIMITED EDITION, ONE OF 425 COPIES ON PAPER OF A TOTAL EDITION OF 438. “THE FINEST BOOK SINCE GUTENBERG” (Franklin).

The supreme achievement of the forty year artistic collaboration between Morris and Burne-Jones, and of the Kelmscott Press: “the final chapter of co-operation; the venture in which their particular talents are combined for the last time, and to spectacular effect” (Robinson).

Earliest plans for the work date to 1891; though the book was announced to Kelmscott Press subscribers in December, the actual printing did not begin until August 1894, and the book was only issued to subscribers in June 1896. Franklin Private Presses p.192; Peterson A40; Robinson William Morris, Edward Burne-Jones and the Kelmscott Chaucer; Sparling 40. $60,000-80,000

He & Squaretyki[?] (Czech) seem dubious about my non-neutral (anti U. S. involvement) stand. So we discussed that Central America dilemma - how not to create another Marxist police state.”

Ginsberg inquires about Eörsi’s recent play, and then discusses a project: “I am working on photography more, and hired a young friend to sort out my photos & negatives from 1945 -- thru the sixties -- and make enlargements of snapshots of Kerouac & Burroughs from those days 1949--1953--1963-- I seem to have had a consistent thread of awareness of seeing them as on earth one time only all along & the photos look fine.” He concludes, “I am overworking.” $400-600 38

8vo. Half-title; 6pp. advertisements. (Browning, some light marginal chipping). Modern cloth-backed linen; original front wrapper bound in (laid down with repairs).

FIRST EDITION, published in the year that Gumilev married poet Anna Akhmatova. Dissatisfied with the mysticism of Russian Symbolism, Gumilev and Sergei Gorodetsky established the Guild of Poets, modeled after the medieval guilds of Western Europe. The Guild advocated that, like an architect, a poet needed to adhere to higher levels of craftsmanship; they compared writing a poem to building a cathedral. Zhemchuga. Stikhi was the first collection Gumilev published to illustrate the Guild’s principles. Kilgour 420. $500-700

The Latin text first appeared at Antwerp in 1579. Each emblem bears a Latin caption and bible quotation, with a poem in Latin on the opposite page. The book is based on the theme “Cognoy toy mesme”: the illustrations, mottoes and poems are elaborations on this subject, and the examples are mostly derived from classical mythology and philosophy. This edition is a variant of Landwehr 263 with a new type face for the text and a new Dutch poem on the final leaf verso.

The Principal Navigations, Voyages, Traffiques and Discoveries of the English Nation, made by Sea or overland, to the remote and farthest distant quarters of the Earth, at any time within the compasse of these 1500 yeeres. London: George Bishop, Ralph Newberie and Robert Barker, 1599-1600.

3 volumes in 2, folio (287 x 180 mm). Ornamental woodcut capitals, head- and tail-pieces. (Lacking the map, as often, vol. I pp.607-619 supplied, p.607 soiled, a few tiny rust-holes affecting a few letters, some minor dampstaining or soiling.) Contemporary calf, spine in 7 compartments with 6 raised bands, gilt-numbered in one, tan morocco lettering-piece gilt (joints starting, some overall light wear); cloth folding case. Provenance: Charles Maynard, 1st Viscount Maynard (engraved armorial bookplate); Stewart Kidd (bookseller’s label); Bayard Livingston Kilgour, Jr. (1904-1984), American book collector (bookplate).

Second (first enlarged) edition. Title-page in volume one in the second state, dated 1599 and not including the reference to “the famous victorie atchieved at the citie of Cadiz, 1596,” with misspelled “Hackluyt” on vol. II title-page, and with “yeeres” on vol. III title-page. WITH THE VOYAGE TO CADIZ (vol. I, pp.607-619, ESTC state 1a). The section was suppressed by Elizabeth I after the disgrace of the Earl of Essex in 1599. In some copies sold after Elizabeth’s death, these sheets were reinserted. As for the presence of the map, Pforzheimer notes: “It is generally allowed that the map which belongs in that third volume, though only occasionally found, was not issued with all copies.” Church located thirteen copies of the map. There are apparently two variants of the printer’s ornaments on the title-page in volume one. This copy has a border of fruit and flowers surrounding the opening word “The” and the ornamental device above the imprint is composed of a center medallion flanked by cornucopia. No priority has been established between this state and the variant with a typographical border around “The” and a device using three birds above the imprint.

The present edition greatly enlarges the first edition of 1589, with the entire third volume devoted to America. “Hakluyt’s Principall Navigations was the fruit of a life devoted to promoting the cause of English colonization and commerce by disseminating knowledge about, and stimulating interest in, all the less known or recently discovered parts of the world. This great repository of explorations, travels, and adventures ‘within the compasse of these 1500 years’ was aptly styled by Mr. Froude ‘the prose epic of the modern English nation’” (Church).

The Supplement “contains fourteen rare works not easily accessible in any other form, and is quite as important as either of the volumes published in [Hakluyt’s] time” (Sabin 29600). “In a word, many of such useful tracts of sea adventures, which before were scattered as several ships, Mr. Hakluyt hath embodied into a fleet, divided into three squadrons so many several volumes; a work of great honour to England” (Thomas Fuller, The History of the Worthies of England).

FIRST EDITION of Hegel’s seminal work on “the sociology of the perfectly organized state… It turns away from the apparent chaos of the democratic advocates of individual right in favour of an overwhelming sense that liberty cannot exist apart from order, and that the vital connexion of all parts of the body politic is the source of all good” (PMM 283).

Paul Singer (1904-1997) was born in Pressburg, Hungary and grew up in Vienna, where he began his studies in 1921 at the Realgymnasium, becoming a neuropsychiatrist in 1929 at the University of Vienna. While in Vienna he developed a lifelong interest in Chinese art. He and his wife, actress Eva Geyer, fled the country in 1938 and, after a brief stay in London, came to the United States. Singer became quite active in collecting Chinese art with support from Arthur M. Sackler, and in exchange they agreed his collection would go to Sackler upon his death. Borst 1361; PMM 283.

FIRST EDITION, SIGNED BY HELLER on the title of the author’s first book, in dust jacket priced “$5.95.” The title of this contemporary American novel has entered the language more seamlessly than any other. However, “Catch 22” was not the book’s original title. In the late ‘50s, when a chapter was published in the anthology New American Writing, Heller was calling the novel “Catch 18.” He only changed it to Catch 22 the following year when Leon Uris published his bestselling World War II novel Milo 18, beating Heller to the number and begetting a cliché destined to be with us for decades to come. The phrase is used to refer to the maddeningly circular logic used to deny leave on the grounds of insanity to the novel’s anti-hero, Yossarian.

The Doctor quotes the Catch 22, which states that a man “would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn’t, but if he was sane, he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn’t have to; but if he didn’t, he was sane and had to.” $4,000-6,000

104 HOBBES, Thomas (1588-1679). Leviathan, or The Matter, Forme, & Power of a Common-Wealth Ecclesiasticall and Civill. London: printed for Andrew Crooke, 1651.

Woodcut head-ornament vignette on title. (Some light staining, tiny rust-hole in 2T2 affecting 3 letters, final leaf slightly trimmed along fore-edge.)

Contemporary English dark calf (rebacked preserving original spine, some wear); morocco folding case.

FIRST EDITION OF THE MOST IMPORTANT 17TH-CENTURY ENGLISH WORK OF POLITICAL PHILOSOPHY. Hobbes regarded the state “as a great artificial monster made up of individual men, with an existence which could be traced from its generation through human reason under pressure of human needs to its destruction through civil strife proceeding from human passions. The individual (except to save his own life) should always submit to the State, because any government is better than the anarchy of the natural state” (PMM).

Hobbes’ theory caused a scandal in England, where he was labeled “everything from atheist, heretic and libertine to the ‘monster of Malmesbury’ and ‘pander to bestiality.’ He was blamed…for the great London Fire of 1666 and…discovered a committee of bishops in the House of Lords willing to put him to the stake” (Norman). His influence, first on Spinoza and Bentham, has lasted into our own century.

The frontispiece “may have contributed to the strong impact of the book” (Schmitt). Previously ascribed to be in the style of W. Hollar, it is now thought to be by Abraham Bosse (ca. 1602-1676), who executed it after lengthy discussions with Hobbes.

Second edition, revised and expanded from the 1577 First Edition, of the great Elizabethan narrative history used by Shakespeare as a main source for many of his plays.

The textual history of this second edition is particularly complex, with most copies bearing cancels in Vols. II & III following censorship by the Elizabethan authorities who ordered the removal of politically sensitive. According to DNB there were three stages in the castrations and revisions, and consequently copies survive with various states of cancels, variant cancels and original leaves. The present copy conforms with ESTC, except without the cancel leaf paginated 421 (recto) and 424 (verso) replacing leaves 2Q3.4 in Vol. II (the originals here supplied in photo-facsimile).

PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY HOVEY on the front free endpaper of Vol. I: “Mr. J. Lombard / from his friend / C. M. Hovey / Dec. 25th 1854.” Charles M. Hovey was a nurseryman in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the editor of the popular and long-running Magazine of Horticulture. The beautiful mounted chromolithographs in this work were finely executed by by the Boston firm headed by William Sharp, and describe a variety of apples, pears, cherries, plums, and berries. “The book has a place in the history of American printing as well as American pomology” (Oak Spring Pomona). The plates are accompanied by text which gives the history of each variety, a full description, its growing habit, flower and fruit, and advice on its cultivation.

The present work was intended by Hovey as an international show-case for what American pomologists had achieved, as well as an essential reference guide. It originally appeared in parts between 1847 and 1856, and is considered complete in two volumes with 96 plates. In addition to the two volumes found here, Hovey also issued three parts for a third, unfinished volume.

12mo. Title printed within pictorial border. Original gilt-lettered green cloth (very slightly rubbed at extremities); half green morocco folding case.

FIRST EDITION OF JOYCE’S FIRST PUBLISHED WORK, one of 509 copies, in the third variant binding (priority of the second and third variants undetermined). Chamber Music was printed at the urging of Arthur Symons, to whom Yeats introduced Joyce in the fall of 1904. Joyce never received royalties for its publication, though in 1912, he sold copies in Trieste with considerable success. The suite of 36 lyrical poems reflected the sentiment and mood of Joyce as a young poet. He intended the poems to be set to music, and not long after the work was published, G. Molylneux Palmer wrote to Joyce asking permission to do so; by July 1909, Palmer had completed the musical settings.

FIRST EDITION OF JOYCE’S FIRST PUBLISHED NOVEL, which appeared in serial form in The Egoist from February 1914 to September 1915. Joyce began the work in 1904, and it went through a series of radical changes before publication in 1916. “The prose moves forward in complexity from the child’s sensations at the beginning to the adolescent subtleties at the end,” and the novel’s modernism is apparent in its episodic format and concern with the consciousness of the protagonist (Connolly, The Modern Movement 26).

115 JOYCE, James (1882-1941). Ulysses. Paris: Shakespeare and Company, 1922.

4to. Original “Greek flag” blue printed wrappers, uncut (rebacked to style, mostly marginal dampstaining or soiling, a few short tears occasionally sympathetically repaired); cloth folding case.

FIRST EDITION, LIMITED ISSUE, ONE OF 750 COPIES ON HANDMADE PAPER of a total edition of 1,000, this copy number 824.

Joyce’s Ulysses was revolutionary in its time, and it stands as the most significant English-language novel of the 20th-century. The mock-heroic epic novel, celebrating the events of a single day, June 16th 1904, employs a complexity of language and structure, and a cohesion of historical sources which have made Ulysses the most diligently studied work of modern literature in English.

Joyce began writing Ulysses in 1914 or 1915, and, thanks to assistance from Ezra Pound, fourteen installments were published in 23 successive issues of Margaret Anderson’s American Journal, The Little Review between 1918 and 1920. Pound was also influential in getting portions of the work published in Harriet Shaw Weaver’s The Egoist in London in 1919.

Facing legal issues in America and England, resulting from the novel’s presumed obscene content, The Little Review was reluctant to publish the complete work. After several unsuccessful attempts to find a publisher, Pound introduced Joyce to Sylvia Beach of the Shakespeare and Company bookshop in Paris, who was willing to publish the work under her imprint.

The first edition consisted of 1,000 copies: the first 100 copies were printed on handmade paper and signed by Joyce; copies 101-250 were printed on a slightly lesser grade of handmade paper and were not signed; the final 750 copies (as here) were printed on the least expensive stock of handmade paper, also unsigned.

FIRST ENGLISH EDITION, number 1,353 of 2,000 copies, printed in Dijon from the original plates for Joyce’s patron, Harriet Weaver, who was unable to find a printer in London, and distributed by Rodker and Ezra Pound.

Of the 2,000 copies printed, 500 copies were sent to America and were subsequently reported seized and burned by the United States government authorities; recent evidence suggests that not all of the copies sent to America were destroyed. According to Harriet Shaw Weaver, “a good number of copies sent by ordinary book post to the U.S.A got through to their various destinations, but some time between October 1922 (when the Egoist edition as published) and December, the U.S.A censorship authorities evidently became suspicious…until finally 400-500 copies were confiscated and burnt” (qtd. in Slocum and Cahoon).

FIRST AUTHORIZED AMERICAN EDITION, FIRST ISSUE DUST JACKET with “Reichl” credit on front panel. Bennett Cerf, who co-founded Random House with Donald S. Klopfer, hired attorney Morris Ernst to argue the case against the ban on Ulysses in the United States. On 6 December 1933, Judge John M. Woolsey rendered his landmark decision to lift the ban, and Random House published the present edition about a month later. In the publication, Random House included a foreword by Morris Ernst, as well as the full text of Judge Woolsey’s decision. The publisher also reprinted an April 1932 letter from Joyce to Bennett Cerf (“since you are determined to fight for its legalization in the United States and to publish what will be the only authentic edition there, I think it just as well to tell you the history of its publication in Europe and the complications which followed it in America”).

“PEACE IS NOT THE ENTERPRISE OF JUST ONE PERSON – IT IS THE ACHIEVEMENT OF MANY” Rabin thanks a supporter after he is chosen as a laureate of the Nobel Peace Prize: “Our efforts to realize our dream of both living in peace is our inheritance to our children, both Palestinian and Israeli. The work, however, is not yet finished. The Nobel Peace Prize is for future generations, more than it is a reward for the achievements we have made towards peace this far. I am hopeful that with continued cooperation and dialogue, our two peoples can overcome the obstacles place by those who oppose coexistence.”

Rabin approved the Oslo Accords, negotiated in secret in Norway in 1993, stipulating that Israel would gradually withdraw from occupied lands. The agreement was signed in Washington D.

FIRST EDITION OF HERZL’S PROPOSAL FOR A JEWISH STATE. Herzl proposed that the Jewish question was a political matter (rather than religious) and should be settled by a world council of nations. “It was Herzl’s book which really crystallized the idea of a national home for the Jews. Two conceptions had prevailed hitherto: either that of the ghetto, presupposing an unbridgeable gulf between Jews and Gentiles, or that of assimilation, which meant a complete acceptance by the Jews of their environment leading eventually to their becoming part of the people among whom they lived. Herzl took a different view. By his work he transformed the Jewish people from a passive community into a positive political force” (PMM). Herzl organized a world congress at Basel in August 1897, and he became the first president of the World Zionist Organization, which was influential in the establishment of a Jewish state. “That a Jewish State was created in Palestine within fifty years of his death was due to the vision and practical methods of Herzl, expressed in his manifesto of 1896” (PMM 381). $8,000-12,000

130 JUNG, Carl Gustav (1875-1961). Typed letter signed (“C. G. Jung”), to Miss Jeanie E. Hughes. Küsnacht, Zürich, 6 March 1937. 1 page, 4to (293 x 209 mm), on personal stationery, with original typed envelope.

JUNG REPORTS ON A PATIENT’S PROGRESS TO AN AMERICAN STUDENT: “A woman can fill many gaps by her intuition and her eros, where a man needs solid knowledge. Therefore be careful with him.”

Jung sends a report to Jane (“Jeanie”) Hughes, one of his American students who attended his workshop at Bailey Island, Maine in 1936. He reports on the treatment of Hughes’ brother, which was completed by Dr. Carl Alfred Meier: “As you know your brother is returning to America now. He has done his work with Dr. Meier and I saw him just once. From that interview I had with him i was convinced that it was much better for him to work with a younger man, because he is so little prepared for psychological work that my influence would have been a bit too much for his rather delicate mental structure.”

Carl Alfred Meier was a Jungian psychologist scholar and the first president of the C. G. Hung Institute in Zürich. He was Jung’s successor as Honorary Professor of Psychology at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in 1949, and later co-founded the Clinic and Research Center for Jungian Psychology in Zürichberg. Of Meier’s treatment of Hughes’ brother, Jung writes: “Quite recently he told me of a certain difficulty which consisted of the fact that things wouldn’t go any deeper and kept to a superficial stratum...I concluded that there was a serious reason why things should not be pushed on for the time being and that the things that want to sleep shouldn’t be artificially disturbed...I advised Dr. Meier not to press your brother.” He concludes that further treatment is not advisable at this time: “Things have developed just as far as they could for the time being, but not far enough to make collaboration with you advisable. Of course minor help of practical nature would be possible, but I would not burden him with any serious responsibility. I would be afraid to increase feelings of inferiority which a man is quite likely to get in such matters where he clearly feels that one should be scientifically well equipped.” $1,500-2,500 131 JUNG, Carl Gustav (1875-1961).

Creased, a few minor spots or chips.

“THIS SPIRITUAL UNREST HAS SPREAD OVER THE WHOLE WORLD” Jung thanks his correspondent for her “kind Christmas letter”: “I was glad to hear something of you and of your life in the Beyond. What you tell me about the people and their superstitions there, interests me very much. Well, this spiritual unrest has spread over the whole world and I must say, I am grateful that I understand something of what is going on in the Unconscious of mankind, otherwise it would be too horrible.” $800-1,200 132 KEROUAC, Jack (1922-1969).

PRIVATELY PRINTED EDITION, limited to about 170 “complete” subscriber’s copies, INSCRIBED BY LAWRENCE on p. XIX “Complete copy.

1.XII.26 TES.”, with a single additional manuscript correction to the illustration list. AN IMPORTANT PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY LAWRENCE TO HIS FRIEND COL. ROBERT BUXTON, WHO ARRANGED FINANCING OF THE SUBSCRIBER’S EDITION. INSCRIBED BY LAWRENCE on the blank leaf at front: “R.V.B.’s own copy, which he specially deserves, having gone to war and helped to do the show, and then having gone to banking and financed all the history of the show--persuading his innocent Bank to stand an unknown and unprecedented risk, continuing for years. T.E. Shaw. December 1926.” He later added to this inscription, “(and not yet ended, indeed. T.E.S. 1931).”

Robert (“Robin”) Buxton (1883-1953) was commander of the Imperial Camel Corps, who met Lawrence in Arabia in August 1918. Lawrence guided Buxton and the Camel Corps on the first stage of the journey to their successful attack on Mudawara. He played a major role in the campaign which resulted in September 1918 in the cutting of the railway junction at Deraa, ensuring that no trains could run through to Damascus by the Turks. The two remained close friends after the war and Buxton served as Lawrence’s bank manager, and helped finance the subscriber’s edition of Seven Pillars. He later served as one of the Trustees of Revolt in the Desert.

The additional plate in this copy is a wood engraving by Blair Hughes-Stanton that appears in only four special copies to illustrate the dedicatory poem “To S.A.” It is titled “The Poem,” numbered “4/5” and signed by the artist “Blair H-S [19]26”. George Bernard Shaw’s copy also contained the additional plate. This copy includes the “Prickly Pear” plate, but not the two Paul Nash illustrations called for on pages 92 and 208. In this copy, page XV is mis-paginated as VIII. Clements p. 49 (stating that “only about 100 copies were produced at 30 guineas each”); O’Brien A040. A SUPERB ASSOCIATION COPY. [With:] Photographic reproduction of pencil portrait of Lawrence by Augustus John; a late 18th- or early 19th-century hand-colored engraving entitled “Ein Kameel Artillerist”; and a (proof?) review of Graves’s book Lawrence and the Arabs, corrected and initialled by Buxton. $60,000-80,000

“CAN YOU ‘WRITE’?”: POUND ADVISES LAWRENCE An exceptional response from Pound to Lawrence, who had solicited advice about publishing. “Thou hast in thee an exceeding hot, intemperate, swift and precipitate manner of judging thy fellowe men, and in the present case mightest have weighed against six or eight pages of BLAST the dozen or more volumes and thousand or more scattered pages of my other labours and opusculi.” Pound had just been appointed correspondent to the Dial, which he describes as “an aged and staid publication which I hope, rather rashly, to ginger up to something approaching the frenetic wildenesse of The Athenaeum. They are much more afraid of me than you are.” (continued)

Lawrence, evidently concerned about revealing his identity in his writings, is given advice by Pound: “... I don’t care a saffron .... whether you use your own name or not; only if you don’t you will be under the shameful and ignominious necessity of writing something which will interest the editor. Can you ‘write’? Of course, having vortex’d a large section of Arabia you are fed up with vortices; but why reprove me, who have merely created a market for one or two artists and got a half dozen good books into print despite John Murray, Sr. G. Macmillan e questa puttazaia?... In sending copy to America, let me caution you to use an incognito as well as a pseudonym. [Scofield] Thayer is, I think, quite decent (He is the Dial), but I trust an American publication about as far as I wd. trust a British government; my bright compatriots are quite capable of printing an article by Mr Smith, and then printing a leetle note at the end of the number saying ‘The article by Mr Smith is really written by a distinguished Shiek-tamer and Tiger-baiter etc.... Who for reasons of modesty has concealed himself ‘neath the ridiculous name of Smith-Yapper. If you want to write about Arabia, I cd. simply write to N.Y. that I was getting copy from the one man who knows, or you cd. get a written promise from Thayer not to reveal your identity. I shd. prefer not to be instrumental in publishing anything likely to incite either Moslems or Xtns. to further massacres etc.” Pound further cautions Lawrence against the hope that his writing will bring him much money.

SHAW EXTOLLS SEVEN PILLARS (“THE GREATEST BOOK IN THE WORLD”) AND MOCKS LAWRENCE’S “RIDICULOUS” CAREER IN THE AIR CORPS Shaw begins his letter with publishing advice, then rounds into Lawrence about his affectation of humble obscurity in the Air Corps. He chafed his own publishers, Shaw reports, for failing to grab the rights to Seven Pillars.

“I naturally said ‘Why in thunder didn’t you secure it? it’s the greatest book in the world. I then expatiated on the qualities of the work, and said it really ought to be published in the good old eighteenth century style in twelve volumes or so to begin with, the abridgment coming afterwards.” He goes on to recommend Constable as a publisher, warning him to steer clear of certain “modern ruffians.”

Turning to the life of airman “Shaw,” playwright Shaw is unsympathetic: “Nelson, slightly cracked after his whack on the head in the battle of the Nile, coming home and insisting on being placed at the tiller of a canal barge, and being treated as nobody in particular, would have embarrassed the Navy far less...The thing is ridiculous. Why in the name of all that is sane did you not get £20,000 from parliament? It was yours for anybody else’s asking” He likewise dismisses Lawrence’s complaints about not getting leave. “Ask for three months leave and they will exclaim, with a sob of relief, ‘For God’s sake, take six, take twelve, take a lifetime, take anything rather than keep up this maddening masquerade that makes us all ridiculous.’ I sympathize with them. If you must be a Cincinnatus, go and farm. If you must be a Garibaldi live at Caprera instead of putting poor Aldershot out of countenance.” He concludes: “Are you a flying officer of a bloke in a military office? It would be so like you to be charading as an office boy.” Published in Letters to T. E. Lawrence. $3,000-4,000

In America Nathaniel Bowditch (1773-1838) was the editor of two editions of Moore's Practical Navigator, published by Edward Blunt of Newburyport in 1799 and 1800, respectively. By 1802, when Blunt was ready to publish a third edition, Nathaniel Bowditch and others had corrected so many errors in Moore’s work that Blunt decided to publish it as the first edition of a new work entitled, The New American Practical Navigator.

Peary wintered at Ellesmere Island before heading North to the pole with a small team. Despite winning a high profile lawsuit against Frederick Cook, who had a competing claim, recent scholarship has cast some doubt on Peary’s ability to accurately measure his own location on the ice, having left Bartlett, his expert navigator, behind at the camp.

Palermo, 22 June 1807. 2 pages, 4to, visible area 235 x 176 mm, matted and framed with a portrait of Piazzi, unexamined out of frame, creasing.

I HEAR IT IS RUMORED THAT OLBERS DISCOVERED A NEW PLANET. Italian astronomer and mathematician Giuseppe Piazzi (1746-1826), who founded an observatory at Palermo in 1790, writes about scientific books and equipment. He discusses the developments of the micrometer, created by Jesse Ramsden (1735-1800), which was used in gathering readings from at Palermo. He includes a small diagram and writes, “an ocular astronomical micrometer, called a Dinametra, as imagined by Ramsden.”

He shares the news of Heinrich Wilhelm Matthais Olbers’ discovery of the asteroid Vesta on 29 March 1807: “I hear it is rumored that Olbers discovered a new planet.”

In 1801, Piazzi discovered dwarf planet Ceres, the largest member of the asteroid belt, which was initially believed to be a planet. With the additional discoveries of Pallas (discovered in 1802 by Olbers), Juno (discovered in 1807 by Karl Ludwig Harding), and Vesta, astronomers began to hypothesize about the nature of these celestial bodies, eventually leading to the discovery and designation of the asteroid belt. Ceres and Vesta are now considered dwarf planets, while Pallas and Juno are designated as asteroids. $3,000-4,000

GODS AND ROBOTS AFTER ALL NEED NOT BE DIVIDED A critique of Alexander Goldenweiser’s work Robots or Gods, presumably sent to the publisher, Alfred A. Knopf: “I have read Dr. Goldenweiser’s book, and although I still don’t know what Robots are, I see that he reads a great many intellectually exciting authors and Is animated himself by a very reasonable spirit...There seem to be two distinct questions to consider. The first is the relation of mentality in general to physical life or behaviour: on this question, Dr. Goldenweiser seems to me to be sound, though perhaps not so incisive and clear as would be desirable.

The other question is moral and political: Do you like the loss of neutrality that goes with industrialization? I don’t gather anything very definite on that point, though I have some idea that he would allow the industrial age to create and enjoy its own gods: so that Gods and Robots after all need not be divided. If so, I should agree with him: but those gods need not be our gods if we are romantic, and certainly cannot be our God, if we are Christians. Would Dr. Goldenweiser write another book to prove that?” $400-600

He began to chart the straits and record his observations, and he developed a plan to prevent further incursions into the Pacific by colonizing the region. His plan was adopted by the King of Spain, and he was made governor of the future colony; the attempt at colonization ended in disaster.

FOURTH FOLIO EDITION, issue with R. Chiswell in imprint. The edition was set from the second issue of the Third Folio. The Fourth Folio is the last edition of Shakespeare’s plays published in the 17th century, and was regarded by 18th-century editors, readers and collectors as textually the best edition, until Samuel Johnson and especially Edward Capell demonstrated the superiority of the First Folio. The most immediately striking aspect of the Fourth Folio is its height. Herringman and his co-publishers decided on a larger paper size to increase the number of lines per page and decrease the bulk of the book; thus, including the added plays, the number of sheets in the Fourth Folio is almost exactly the same as that in the First and Second.

In October 1934, Stein and Toklas arrived in the United States after a 30-year absence for a 6-month book tour, the last time either would visit their country of birth. They were known to have visited Chicago and stayed at the Drake Hotel in late November and early December 1934. While there, Stein gave a lecture at the Friday Club, a women’s literary society, and they took the opportunity to see the Chicago premiere of Four Saints in Three Acts, for which Stein had written the libretto. This marked the first time they had seen the opera with music by Virgil Thomson, revolutionary in form and content, the work was groundbreaking for its all-black cast with the singers directed by the prominent African American choral director Eva Jessye (1895-1992).

Provenance: George Sayer (1914-2005), teacher at Malvern College, biographer of C. S. Lewis (signature in vol. I, see below).

FIRST EDITIONS, often read as allegories of good versus evil. In a new preface to the 1965 edition, Tolkien wrote: “As for any inner meaning or ‘message,’ it has in the intention of the author none. It is neither allegorical nor topical.” In his essay entitled “On Fairy-Stories,” Tolkien describes his purpose in writing about an imaginary world: “The peculiar quality of the ‘joy’ in successful Fantasy can thus be explained as a sudden glimpse of the underlying reality or truth. It is not only a ‘consolation’ for sorrow of this world, but a satisfaction, and an answer to that question, ‘Is it true?’ The answer to this question that I gave at first was (quite rightly): ‘If you have built your little world well, yes: it is true in that world.”

A FINE ASSOCIATION. George Sayer, a close friend of Tolkien, was an encourager of Tolkien’s work, and was influential in persuading him to resubmit The Lord of the Rings for publication. By 1952, after unsuccessful attempts to find a publisher, The Lord of the Rings seemed doomed; in that year, C. S. Lewis, Tolkien’s friend, had loaned the typescript to Sayer, who read it with enthusiasm. Sayer invited Tolkien to his home at Malvern for a short visit and to retrieve the manuscript.

Of the visit, Sayer recalls: “To entertain him in the evening I produced a tape recorder…He had never seen one before and said whimsically that he ought to cast out any devil that might be in it by recording a prayer, the Lord’s Prayer in Gothic, one of the extinct languages of which he was a master…[I] asked if he might record some of the poems in The Lord of the Rings to find out how they sounded to other people. The more he recorded, the more he enjoyed recording and the more his literary self-confidence grew…I think I asked him to record what he thought one of the best pieces of prose in The Lord of the Rings, and he recorded part of ‘The Ride of the Rohirrim.’ ‘Surely you know that’s really good?’ I asked after playing it back. ‘Yes,’ he said, ‘it’s good. This machine has made me believe in it again. But how am I to get it published?’

(The Bulletin of the New York C. S. Lewis Society, No. 450, July/August 2012). Sayer suggested sending the manuscript to Rayner Unwin, ultimately resulting in the publication of Tolkien’s beloved work, which sold over three million copies in Tolkien’s lifetime.

G[EORGE] A[LLEN] & U[NWIN] ARE NOW CLAMORING TO RECONSIDER THE LORD OF THE RINGS In 1937, at the urging of his publishers Collins, Tolkien began writing “a new Hobbit.” Due to his fulltime academic position, progress was slow, and he abandoned the manuscript for most of 1943. He began writing again in April 1944, and completed a revision of the earlier portions of the work in 1949. In April 1952, Collins declined to publish the work; by August 1952, nearly every major British publisher had rejected the work.

George Sayer received a copy of Tolkien’s manuscript from their mutual friend, C. S. Lewis. Sayer and his wife became enthusiastic fans of the work, and invited Tolkien to stay with them at Malvern in August when he was on break. Having heard that publisher George Allen & Unwin had an interest in publishing the work, Tolkien writes George Sayer to request the return of the manuscript and to coordinate a visit: “Can you still put me up?...I could come any time after the 18th that is suitable to you and your wife. The earlier the better for me since G. A. & U. are now clamouring to reconsider the Lord of the Rings, so that the sooner you have finished it – I could not leave you in the middle of the third book for all the publishers in the world, and anyway I greatly desire to hear your opinions at the end – the better for me in that regard.”

During his visit, at Sayer’s urging, Tolkien created the first recorded readings from The Lord of the Rings which still survive. Sayer also encouraged Tolkien to send the manuscript to Rayner Unwin (see lot 220). In a letter to Rayner Unwin enclosing a blurb from Sayer for The Lord of the Rings, in which Sayer refers to Tolkien as the “greatest living poet,” Tolkien refers to Sayer as “the most normal reader and liker of the work that I could think of…the blurb…surprised me.” $4,000-6,000

New York, 6 July 1937. 1 page, 4to, 279 x 216 mm, on Federal Theatre Project for New York stationery, “Maxine Elliott’s Theatre” typed below heading, creased, a few small stains.

Welles writes on behalf of a member of his production team: “I hereby certify that Miss Lillian Sheldon is an efficient and useful worker and has always discharged her duties to my complete satisfaction while in my division of the Federal Theater Project.”

In 1937, Welles was to direct Marc Blitzstein’s The Cradle Will Rock as part of the Federal Theatre Project. The show, which was to be performed at Maxine Elliott's Theatre, was scheduled to open on June 16, 1937, but a few days before the Broadway opening, the WPA temporarily shut the project down. The WPA claimed that they shut the play down as part of a reorganization of all its arts projects, but many argued that the pro-union play was instead deemed "too radical." The theatre was padlocked and surrounded by security to prevent anyone from stealing props or costumes, which were the property of the U. S. Government. Producer John Houseman secured a financial backer, and the show ran for two weeks beginning June 18; the success of the show led Welles and Houseman to form the Mercury Theatre, who ran the show as part of its inaugural season. $300-400 229 WELLS, H.G.

250 WRIGHT, Frank Lloyd (1867-1959). Autograph manuscript signed (“Frank Lloyd Wright”), entitled “To the Countryside,” numerous holograph emendations and corrections in ink, several in pencil or purple pencil. N.p. [Taliesin?], [June 1926]. 2 pages, 4to, creased.

THREE TIMES I HAVE BUILT [TALIESIN] UP FROM ITS ASHES EACH TIME STRONGER AND MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN BEFORE TRAGEDY DESTROYED IT. Following the 1914 fire and massacre at Taliesin, which took the lives of his mistress Mamah Cheney and her children, Frank Lloyd Wright vowed to rebuild. Calling the project Taliesin II, he began work on the new project. That same year, he began a relationship with wealthy divorcee Miriam Noel, and by 1915, the couple moved into the newly-completed Taliesin II. Their relationship was turbulent, likely in part due to Noel’s erratic behavior (later identified as schizophrenia), but the couple were married in November 1923; they separated less than a year later. During their separation, in 1924, Wright met Olgivanna Lazovic Hinzenberg. They moved in together at Taliesin in 1925, and Olgivanna gave birth to a daughter, Iovanna, in December 1925.

For three days in early June 1926, in a fury over divorce proceedings and convinced she had an ownership claim over the property, Miriam Noel Wright tried to take Taliesin by storm, but was rebuffed by Wright’s employees each time. Wright, upset at the ensuing media frenzy, wrote a public response for publication in the local newspaper, the Home News.

“I have never thanked my neighbors and townspeople directly for their friendship and forbearance - I want to do so now...My grandfather began my life here, my mother and her people lived here and loved this valley to which I have come back as the third generation in a struggle to develop on old family soil some of the finer elements of what we call civilization. It seems that my direct ways of meeting life as it comes to me and meeting my obligations to it has made me a marked man for the benefit of modern journalism. I can have no private life...I have made a mistake in accepting the desertion of Miriam Noel as final or ever believing her to be human. Having every reason to believe myself finally deserted and an intolerable domestic situation humanely ended, I allowed other lives to become entangled with mine - thinking no difficulty could arise to prevent me from making my life here ‘regular’ at last...What I wanted to say to you was that I like you people of this region. You all seem homelike to me. I’ve been about all over the globe and come back here with that feeling of coming ‘home.’...I think the countryside deserves the best of me and if you who make it what it is give me its benefit of the doubt in all this for a year or two I believe I will come through right side up and you may yet take pride in Taliesin as I have always hoped and believed you would do.”

[With:] A typescript copy of an account of Miriam Noel Wright’s attempt to storm Taliesin while accompanied by a team of reporters, from the 10 June 1926 edition of the Home News ("Mrs. Wright is evidently a sick woman, and as such is deserving of more consideration than was shown her by a syndicate of scandalmondering newspapers in staging the spectacular attempt which she made...”). $4,000-6,000

251 WRIGHT, Frank Lloyd (1867-1959). Autograph manuscript signed (“Frank Lloyd Wright”), entitled “Taliesin III,” numerous holograph emendations and corrections in ink, a few in pencil N.p. Taliesin, 8 June 1926. 5 1/2 pages, 4to, creased.

“YET A NEW TALIESIN HAS RISEN IN A WHOLE SPIRITUAL INCARNATION ABOVE ITS OLD - TO BE LIVED UP TO BY A SADDER PERHAPS WISER AND YET A HAPPIER MAN THAN IT HAS EVER KNOWN...WINDS SELDOM BLOW DOWN OAKS WELL ROOTED IN WISCONSIN SOIL...AND TALIESIN IS AN OAK.” Writing shortly after scandal with Miriam Noel (see previous lot), Wright carefully considers the past and the future of Taliesin.

After the devastating fire and tragedy that took the life of his partner Mamah Cheney in 1914, Wright rebuilt Taliesin II, where he lived with his second wife, Miriam Noel Wright. On 20 April 1925, Taliesin was yet again devastated by fire, which destroyed the living quarters but spared the studio.

Recognizing that Taliesin has become inextricably linked with several of his personal relationships, Wright continues to grapple with his relationship with the press: “Somehow Taliesin is mixed up in popular imagination with ‘women’: ignorant because regardless of true circumstances, ‘the public’... takes for granted that where there are ‘women’ there must be demoralization blame and disgrace. And ‘journalism’ of the baser sort suppressing facts it may privately know to the contrary...that demoralization should enter the popular mind with women is not fair....I would be a coward to feel anyone by myself to blame for all this....Those who meet life head on not only make good copy for newspapers they arouse and set in motion forces for evil as well as good.”

Throughout, he considers Taliesin’s past as he contemplates building for its future: “The unfortunate comrade whose shelter Taliesin originally was [Mamah Cheney] met her death here in one of those unaccountable strokes of human fate that is like a stroke of lightning. Those privileged to touch the personal life of the Taliesin of that time in its difficult circumstances respected it highly. Only those who did not know it imagined it eccentric and profane. Tragedy suddenly destroyed that life forever and left a black hole, its smoking crater of a volcano upon the hill where once Taliesin stood. I was left to rebuild it - better and stronger than before. I tried to share the life I had dedicated to high purposes and great work there with a poor woman...This phase of Taliesin was ill-starred from its unsuitable beginning....Morbid resentments and suspicions hard to contemplate and worse to struggle with made Taliesin, for seven of the eight years, dead to all I had made it for.

“ONCE MORE THE LIGHTNING STRUCK AND THE TALIESIN THAT WITNESSED THAT USELESS STRUGGLE AND EVERY OBJECT LEFT IN IT WHICH THAT MORBID LIFE HAD TOUCHED WENT DOWN TO UTTER RUIN. “I built it up again, this time painfully, with infinite difficulty out of scant resources, but better, nobler and stronger than before....And life smiled, life brought Taliesin late, at last, friendship and release from loneliness in sorrow and suffering in defeat. Blessed life can so bruise and maim and then bind up closing wounds and heal them.” The metaphorical rebuilding which Wright contemplates would not be completed until 1928. Some of his best-known buildings and most ambitious designs would be created in his studio during the Taliesin III period, including Fallingwater, the world headquarters for S.C. Johnson, and the first Usonian house. $4,000-6,000

Together 5 pages, 8vo and 12mo.

Comprising three drafts for “The Beauty in the Forest” and a draft of “For Sara Miller, sculptor.” Both poems were posthumously published in In Montgomery: And Other Poems, (Chicago: Third World Press, 2003).

Brooks examines the notion of the gaze in “The Beauty in the Forest”: “And even deep into the forest the beauty was where no one could see. / The Forest Beauties perfected themselves for no gaze.” One draft of the poem is written in a small pocket day timer for December 1968, which also includes a note about Carl Sandburg.

Her heavily amended draft of “For Sara Miller, sculptor” includes early notes for a poem Brooks wrote to commemorate Sara Miller’s bronze bust of Brooks, which was publicly unveiled the Harold Washington Library Center on 6 June 1994. Brooks saw the sculpture prior to its unveiling, and writes: “Sara, thank you for...sending my life into bronze” and continues “You see me UNBLINKINGLY BLACK!” [crossed out].

She concludes: “You see beyond seeables, see beyond flesh...No longer walking through rooms I shall be gone and not gone.” $600-800

FIRST EDITION, PRESENTATION COPY INSCRIBED BY BROOKS: “Sincerely, Gwendolyn Brooks, April 15, 1997.” Brooks published her first poem when she was 13 and her compositions were regularly printed in newspapers, especially the Chicago Defender, throughout her adolescence and early adulthood. A Street in Bronzeville, her first book of poetry, was recommended by Richard Wright to Harper & Brothers. Wright wrote that Brooks’s poems “are hard and real, right out of the central core of Black Belt Negro life in urban areas...She easily catches the pathos of petty destinies; the whimper of the wounded; the tiny accidents that plague the lives of the desperately poor, and the problems of color prejudice among Negroes.” (Kent, A Life..., p.62).

FIRST EDITION, PRESENTATION COPY INSCRIBED BY BROOKS: “For Kenan Heise. Sincerely, Gwendolyn Brooks, February 24, 1996.” Brooks was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1950 for this collection of poetry, the first African American recipient of the award. $600-800

Tuskegee, AL, 1 October 1897. 1 page, 8vo, on Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute Department of Agriculture letterhead, with envelope, light creasing.

CARVER, George Washington (1860s-1943). Autograph letter signed (“G.W. Carver.”), as Director of Research and Experiment Station at Tuskegee Institute, to Grady Porter. Tuskegee, 17 February 1935. 1 page, 8vo, on Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute letterhead, with envelope, light creasing.

To abolitionist, suffragist, and Tuskegee benefactor Emily Howland (1827-1929) presenting a copy of Carver’s first publication Progressive Nature Studies, soliciting her opinion: “I hope you will both look at it and tell me what you think concerning the science.” The publication intended to instruct teachers on implementing nature studies in science education.

Written in his first year as the Director of the Department of Agriculture, a post offered to him by Booker T. Washington after Carver completed his master’s degree in 1896. Here he pioneered agricultural science and taught students for 47 years.

He writes to Howland, “my students still talk about your helpful words to them and wish to be remembered to you.”

To Grady Porter of the Tom Huston Peanut Company in Columbus, GA, a fellow peanut researcher. Their correspondence began as early as 1931 and continued through at least 1942. Here, Carver continues an on-going conversation possibly regarding the 1934 implementation of tariff rate quotas on peanuts: “’Peculiar condition’ is correct and just how we are going to pull out of it is a very serious problem. Just think of it, $110.00 per ton for peanuts, phenomonal. [sic]” $400-600

DU BOIS, William Edward Burghardt (1868-1963). The Souls of Black Folk. London: Archibald Constable & Co., Ltd., 1905.

DU BOIS, William Edward Burghardt (1868-1963). Typed letter signed (“W. E. B. Du Bois”), as editor of The Crisis, to Charles H. Wesley. New York, 13 January 1930. 1 page, 8vo, on Editorial Rooms of The Crisis, National Association for the Advancement of Colored People letterhead, evenly toned, light creasing.

8vo. Frontispiece portrait. Original cloth (some finish damage to covers from damp, rubbed). Provenance: John Price Sheldon, Buxton, M.P. (signature and inscription on half-title).

FIRST ENGLISH EDITION. First published in the United States in 1903, the book contains several essays on race, some of which had been previously published in the Atlantic Monthly magazine.

To develop this groundbreaking work, Du Bois drew from his own experiences as an African-American in American society. $500-700

“Thank you for the book and return of the photographs. I shall be glad to note the History in THE CRISIS.” Charles H. Wesley (1891-1987), historian and author, was a longtime professor at Howard University and an accomplished scholar.

Du Bois is likely referencing Wesley’s The History of Alpha Phi Alpha: A Development in College Life, first published in 1929. As the first historically African American intercollegiate Greek-lettered fraternity which counted Du Bois among its alumni, the work would have been of significant interest to readers of The Crisis. $300-400

“We have to thank you very much for the good work you have done in securing the names and addresses of so many persons who are willing to work for the salvation of our Race. We have made a record of the names in conjunction with those from other parts of the world.”

Written in the final phase of Garvey’s life when he had moved the headquarters of the UNIA from Jamaica to West Kensington.

At the UNIA Convention of 1934, he proposed the Five-Year Plan which proposed that every African voluntarily send monetary contributions in order to revitalize the organization and achieve their aims. Garvey concludes his correspondence to Miss Grear, “We will be releasing to each and every promised worker a programme of the Five Year Plan, for all of them to work and make a success of it. You will hear from us on the matter in time.” $800-1,200

264 HUGHES, Langston (1901-1967). Typed letter signed (“Langston”), to William Grant Still. Cleveland, OH, 18 January 1937. 1 page, 8vo, small chips to left edge.

“I was delighted to have both your letter and your card, and immensely pleased with your ideas for the opera.”

Hughes writes to African American composer William Grant Still (1895-1978) regarding their collaboration on the opera Troubled Island about the life of Jean-Jacques Dessalines (17581806) and the Haitian Revolution. He muses on their creative partnership: “It must, of course, be as integrated as posible [sic], libretto and music, and I am beginning to wish we were one person, like Wagner, so that our creativeness would be a single powerful force, indissoluble in its beauty and strength…..I am sure that you can do a superb job with the music, and I hope that together we can make the words worthy of that music. So please always feel that I am open to suggestions and changes, however large or small they may be.”

Hughes shares several titles on Haiti with Still that he has read in preparation. He also notes, “Interesting that you have a new musical typewriter, because I have a new writing typewriter (my other one being now 12 years old) and our libretto will be the first work done on this new machine of mine. All my poems and books were written on the old machine. I’m hoping to do better on the new one, (anyway, as well! No, better! As well would be no fun.)”

Though Hughes began the libretto in 1936 and showed enthusiasm for the project, he left the project to report on the Spanish-American War for the Baltimore Afro-American.

The libretto was finished by Verna Arvey (1910-1987), but the opera would not be performed until 1949, when it premiered on March 31 at the New York City Opera. Notably, it was the first grand opera composed by an African American composer to be produced by a major company. $400-600

267 MALCOLM X (1925-1965). Typed letter signed (“Malcolm X”), to Alex Haley. Cairo, Egypt, 18 September 1964. “ 1 page, 8vo.

A letter written to Alex Haley (1921-1992), part of a series of responses to the editorial, “The Lesson of Malcolm X” published by the Saturday Evening Post on September 12, 1964. Haley describes the initial correspondence in the Epilogue of The Autobiography of Malcolm X: “The Saturday Evening Post flew photographer John Launois to Cairo to locate Malcolm X and photograph him in color. The magazine’s September 12 issue appeared, and I sent a copy by airmail to Malcolm X. Within a few days, I received a stinging note, expressing his anger at the magazine’s editorial regarding his life story…I wrote to Malcom X that he could not fairly hold me responsible for what the magazine had written in a separate editorial opinion. He wrote an apology, ‘but the greatest care must be exercised in the future.’”

Malcolm X opens his response to Haley’s apology: “Just after I had mailed a letter to you yesterday giving you my very subjective (smile) reactions to the POST article and its editorial, your letter came last night and made me feel a bit relieved and perhaps less subjective (smile again).”

He continues, describing the exhausting nature of the civil rights struggle and the benefit he sees in stepping back and considering the cause from a global perspective, “WE’ve [sic] been under the gun so much, and for so long, we have become ‘gun shy’ perhaps without even realizing it. But this is actually the case with most American Negroes, especially these who are most active in the Negro Struggle, and particularly the Negro ‘leaders.’ I have been saying for five months that all the Negro leaders need to go abroad and forget the struggle for two months. They will come back with a new perspective and much broader scope: involving new aims and new methods to achieve these aims.”

1964 was a tumultuous year for Malcolm X and would prove to be the last full year of his life. He split from the Nation of Islam in early March, converted to Sunni Islam, undertook the Hajj in April, and contended with escalating threats from the Nation of Islam. He would spend much of the year traveling throughout Africa delivering lectures and conferring with prominent figures across the continent.

Haley had originally met Malcom X in 1960 and had penned two articles about him and the Nation of Islam. After suggestions from his publisher, Haley proposed the idea of a biography to Malcolm X in 1963. Despite initial hesitation, Malcolm X agreed. In the Epilogue, Haley admits that “we got off to a very poor start. To use a word he liked, I think both of us were a bit ‘spooky.’” Over time their relationship thawed, and Haley used the material garnered from over 50 interviews to publish his critically-acclaimed first book, The Autobiography of Malcolm X in October 1965. $6,000-8,000 268 [MALCOLM X (1925-1965)]. SCHATT, Roy (1919-2002). Gelatin silver print. 1964.

Visible image 238 x 168 mm, Schatt’s studio stamps and signature to verso, slight blemish at Malcolm X’s temple, matted and framed.

Captured on June 20, 1964 when Malcolm X was a guest on the Long John Nebel Show on WOR Radio in New York City. During the program, Malcolm X, Nebel, and 3 other guests discussed African American identity, the effectiveness of protests, subconscious racial bias, and racial terminology with Malcolm X noting that the term “white” is not a just a description of skin color, but a word implying attitudes and privileged class. Photographer Schatt documented the popular radio show and its guests for over 17 years, capturing at least 4 images of Malcolm X. Schatt’s studio stamps and signature to verso. $300-400

Vitriolic response from southern politicians and press, however, meant that no other African American was invited to dinner at the White House for nearly 30 years. $400-600

Wright gave his biographer, Constance Webb, permission to publish the second part of Black Boy in a limited mimeographed edition.

In 1946, Wright moved to Paris permanently, where he developed friendships with existentialist philosophers Jean-Paul Sartre and Simone de Beauvoir, and absurdist Albert Camus. Their intellectual exchanges were highly influential during Wright’s early French period, most profoundly realized in The Outsider. Davis & Fabre, pp.144-145.

FIRST OCTAVO EDITIONS IN THE DELUXE PUBLISHER’S BINDINGS Audubon’s double-elephant folio edition of The Birds of America (18271838) established his reputation as the greatest ornithological artist of his time. Though that edition was published in London to ensure the quality of the plates, he employed the Philadelphia firm of J. T. Bowen to produce this more commercially viable edition under the close supervision of his sons. The original subscription price was $100, and its commercial success granted Audubon financial security. To the original plate count included in the double-elephant folio edition, the octavo edition adds 65 new images for a total of 500 plates, making it “the most extensive color plate book produced in America up to that time” (Reese). The Quadrupeds was first published between 1845 and 1848 in three folio volumes with 150 colored plates; a supplement, published in 1854, provided an additional volume of text and 6 plates.

This first octavo edition, issued in response to the success of the octavo edition of The Birds of America, contains all of the original 150 plates and 5 of the 6 supplemental plates, reduced by means of the camera lucida.

286 AUDUBON, John James (1785-1851). Autograph letter signed (“John J. Audubon”) to Edinburgh bookseller Alexander Hill. London, 17 July 1830. One page, 4to (252 x 202 mm), with integral leaf addressed in holograph. Mailing folds, a few minor spots, remnants of mounting strip on integral address leaf.

AUDUBON WRITES AN EDINBURGH BOOKSELLER REGARDING PAYMENT FROM ONE OF THE FIRST AMERICAN SUBSCRIBERS TO THE BIRDS OF AMERICA. “I have been in London a fortnight and am yet without any answer to my last letter sent to you from Liverpool about a month ago, in which I desire you to collect the money due to me by Miss Harriet Douglas of New York. I am extremely anxious to have your answer and some money from you and I again ask you to send in a regular list of my Subscribers with you and their respective residence to have the whole engraved in the sheets of my 1st Jany next plates of frontispieces. I hope you received the 19th number in good order…”

In a postscript he writes concerning a young artist, Joseph B. Kidd (1808-1889), whom Audubon employed to paint birds for display and advertisements: “Please let me know where Mr. Kidd is and if in Edinburgh, why has he not written to us?”

Harriet Douglas (1792-1833) was a New York heiress who spent time in Edinburgh. She was Audubon’s first American subscriber for The Birds of America. In his journal, Audubon mentions a visit to her at some later date and comments on the poor condition the plates had been maintained: “Called on Miss D—, the fair American. To my surprise I saw the prints she had received the evening before quite abused and tumbled. This, however, was not my concern, and I regretted it only on her account, that so little care should be taken of a book that in fifty years will be sold at immense prices because of its rarity…” $4,000-6,000 287 AUDUBON, John James (1785-1851). Autograph letter signed (“John J. Audubon”) to his son Victor. Pittsfield, [MA], 11 September 1844. One page, 4to (234 x 194 mm), with integral leaf addressed in holograph. Some minor pale spotting, remnants of previous mounting at corners on verso, mailing folds.

ADDING SUBSCRIBERS FOR HIS NEW BOOK ON NORTH AMERICAN QUADRUPEDS. Informing his son that he has obtained more subscribers for their Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America: “I have obtained three more subscribers since my last to you… The subscribers are follows. — 1.

Hble. Henry Shaw, Lanesboro (Pittsfield) 2.

L. Pomeroy…

3.

Thomas Allen, St. Louis, Mo. I have some hopes of another this day…”

Also reporting on his sporting activities, “We went fishing for Pickerel and caught 10… We go again tomorrow morning at 4 o’clock…” He also gives his forthcoming travel plans through Hudson and Troy, New York. And concludes: “I hope to find you all quite well. God bless you all…”

Victor Gifford Audubon (1809-1862) assisted his father, along with his brother John Woodhouse Audubon, in the creation of The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America. While he did contribute some artistic work to the project, his main function was to handle the business of producing and selling the work, along with the earlier The Birds of America. After his father’s death, Victor continued to manage the business aspects in promoting his father’s work.

Of the subscribers he mentions, Henry Shaw had served as a U.S. Congressman from Massachusetts and was at the time in the MA legislature. He was an unsuccessful candidate for Governor of Massachusetts in 1845. Thomas Allen was a successful St. Louis banker and railroad executive who later was elected to Congress. $3,000-4,000

Typed letter signed (“Bill Clinton”), with one holograph emendation, as United States President, to Carlos J. Moorhead.

Washington D. C., 17 November 1993. 1 page, 8vo, on White House letterhead, threehole punch.

Sent the same day NAFTA was passed by House of Representatives, Clinton thanks California Republican Congressman Carlos Moorhead, who crossed party lines to approve the bill. Clinton has crossed out the typed greeting (“Representative Moorhead”) and written “Carlos”. He assures Moorhead about the upcoming congressional elections: “We have come through a difficult debate with many competing pressures. The historic nature of NAFTA and the intense feelings on both sides of the issue and on both sides of the aisle mean it would be best for the House and for our political system if this issue were not re-fought in the 1994 Congressional elections... I will do my utmost to personally encourage a campaign in which anti-NAFTA candidates will no use this issue against pro-NAFTA members, regardless of party, in the coming election.”

Clinton writes to Sonny Callahan, the Chairman of the Subcommittee on Foreign, Export Financing, and Related Programs warning him of his impending veto of Callahan’s appropriation bill H.R. 2606 (106th): “The bill will not allow us to carry out critical foreign policy objectives, including our work to dismantle Russia’s nuclear weapons and to move forward on Middle East peace process commitments.

“THE MOST IMPORTANT WESTERN EXPLORATION” (Howes).

8vo. (Overall browning and spotting, dampstaining). ORIGINAL SHEEP-BACKED BOARDS, red morocco lettering-piece (overall soiling and wear, lettering-piece with slight chipping, a few early light annotations); cloth folding case.

FIRST EDITION. During the 1840-1841 session of the Illinois General Assembly, laws were passed incorporating Nauvoo as a city (pp.52-57), incorporating the Nauvoo House Association (pp.131-132), incorporating the Nauvoo Agricultural and Manufacturing Association (pp.139-145), and appointing a Notary Public to Nauvoo (p.190).

In addition to the significant features of the city’s corporate powers, elections, court system, and the right to establish a university system, the “Act to Incorporate the City of Nauvoo” includes an unusual provision allowing for the organization of a militia: “The city council may organize the inhabitants of said city subject to military duty into a body of independent military men, to be called the ‘Nauvoo Legion,’ the court martial of which shall be composed of the commissioned officers of said legion…with full powers and authority to make, ordain, establish and execute all such laws and ordinances… Said legion shall be exempt from all other military duty” (p.57). Additionally, an important attachment to the Road Act provided that “any citizen of Hancock county, may, by voluntary enrollment, attach himself to the Nauvoo Legion, with all the privileges which appertain to that independent military body” (p.223). Throughout, important principles are named, including Joseph Smith, Hyrum Smith, Orson Pratt, Sidney Rigdon, Geroge Miller, Lyman Wright, John Snyder, and Peter Hawes. $1,000-1,500

FIRST EDITION, including six laws passed to address the “Hancock Disturbances.”

As tensions grew between the residents of Nauvoo and the residents of Hancock County, fighting broke out. Joseph and Hyrum Smith were imprisoned and later killed by a mob, Nauvoo was raided, and the Mormons agreed to leave Illinois.

Among the pertinent laws: “An Act to Pay Certain persons the Balance Due the from the State,” including a list of persons who were called into service by the Governor to suppress the disturbances (pp.33-34); “An Act to compensate Porter Sergant for powder furnished in the Hancock War” (p.36); “An Act authorizing the removal of the county seat of Hancock county” (p.56); “An Act for the relief [of] certain persons therein named,” including Thomas H. Owen, who was paid $51.34 “for provisions furnished the troops…in the Mormon war,” and Thomas Wells, who received $5 “for provisions furnished by him to the troops aforesaid” (pp.118-119); “An Act to provide for the sale of lands and town lots in township four north, range nine west, in Hancock County” (p.181); and a report in the appendix containing expenditures relating to the disturbances at Nauvoo. $800-1,200

Piercy. (Pale dampstain to lower margin, some browning or soiling.) Contemporary green half calf gilt (some minor rubbing or wear, library card pocket glued to front pastedown); cloth folding case.

FIRST EDITION IN BOOK FORM OF “SOME OF THE BEST WESTERN VIEWS OF THE PERIOD” (Streeter). “One of the most elaborately and beautifully illustrated of Western books. A large portion of the edition was water-damaged while in transit to New York. In some copies the map of Utah counties is hand-colored” (Howes).

In early 1853, Samuel W. Richards and Frederick Piercy decided to publish an illustrated travel book meant to encourage English Mormons to emigrate to Utah. Piercy, a 23-year-old convert of 5 years, was a skilled artist and engraver; Richards, the president of the British Mission, financed his trip to the United States in February 1853. Piercy visited Carthage and Nauvoo, where he drew Carthage Jail and the ruins of the Nauvoo temple as well as portraits of Lucy Smith and two of Joseph Smith’s sons. He set out on the overland route, sketching prominent landmarks along the way; arriving in Utah, he drew a panorama of the Great Salt Lake City and sketched Brigham Young’s portrait.

He wrote a detailed narrative of his travels, which he gave to James Linforth to edit on his return to England in early 1854. Linforth was an assistant editor of the Millennial Star (see lots 311 and 315), and he added extensive footnotes to Piercy’s narrative, including a comprehensive summary of the LDS emigration up to 1855. The book was originally published in 15 monthly parts beginning in July 1854.

He was called to return to Europe as a mission administrator between 1848 and 1851, during which time he served as the editor of the Millennial Star. His son, Orson Pratt, Jr., was the first born of his 45 children. He did not follow in the footsteps of his father into the hierarchy of Mormon leadership, and publicly renounced his faith in 1864.

His unexpected landslide victory in the March 2004 Illinois U.S. Senate Democratic primary had made him overnight a rising star within the national Democratic Party, started speculation about a presidential future, and led to the reissue of his memoir, Dreams from My Father. His convention keynote address was well received, which further elevated his status within the Democratic Party and led to his reissued memoir becoming a bestseller. $600-800

Loose sheets; housed in calf folding case.

Obama’s “A More Perfect Union” speech was delivered by thenSenator Barack Obama on March 18, 2008 in the course of the contest for the 2008 Democratic Party presidential nomination before an audience at the National Constitution Center in Philadelphia. It was prompted by the attention paid to controversial remarks made by the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, his former pastor and, until shortly before the speech, a participant in his campaign.

Obama framed his response in terms of the broader issue of race in the United States. The speech’s title was taken from the Preamble to the United States Constitution.

In it he addressed the subjects of racial tensions, white privilege, and race and inequality in the United States, discussing black “anger,” white “resentment,” and other issues as he sought to explain and contextualize Wright’s controversial comments. His speech closed with a plea to move beyond America’s “racial stalemate” and address shared social problems.

It was considered by many to be the most persuasive piece of oratory on U.S. race relations since Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his “I Have a Dream” speech at the August 28, 1963 March on Washington. $600-800

(Without the “Arx Carolina” view [see below], map of Virginia pars Australis apparently supplied and with marginal repair lower right corner, A3 with portion of lower corner margin torn away, O2 with rust-hole affecting a few letters, a few leaves with pale dampstain, otherwise fine.)

Contemporary calf gilt, spine gilt, morocco lettering-piece gilt (rebacked preserving original spine, corners renewed); cloth slipcase.

FIRST EDITION IN ENGLISH, second issue, without the “Arx Carolina” plate, and with the Lords Proprietor’s map and a map of Barbados. In place of the “Arx Carolina” plate (depicting the castle on the French settlement at present Paris Island) is Moxon’s map of Carolina, A New Discription of Carolina By Order of the Lords Proprietors (known as The First Lords Proprietors Map).

Also in the present copy is a copy of the Virginia pars Australis map found in copies of the first issue (likely supplied from another copy).

Ogilby’s text is, in part, a translation of Montanus’s De Nieuwe en Onbekende Weereld, with numerous additions about New England, New France, Maryland and Virginia from more reliable sources. He includes a short section, “New Netherland, now call’d New York,” which recounts the transfer of sovereignty from the Netherlands to England in 1664.

Together, 4 works in one volume, 8vo (193 x 120 mm). 20th century half calf antique preserving 18th-century flyleaves. Provenance: Samuel Robinson (signature, Newcastle[-under-Lyme], Staffordshire); Samuel Candland (signature, Barlaston, Staffordshire, 1804); 18th-century manuscript note on title of Massachusettensis identifying the author as “a Tory a Ministerialist & a Pensioner.”

A sammelband of four 18th-century pamphlets relating to the Revolutionary War, reflecting both Republican and Tory opinions. Raynal’s Revolution of America is excerpted from the Geneva 1780 edition of his Histoire philosophique et politique. The French edition and the English translation were likely both printed in London and issued simultaneously; both were reprinted several times before the first authorized English edition of 1782. The work elicited a response from Thomas Paine, who “objected to Raynal’s claims that the war arose entirely from a dispute over taxation and that peace efforts had been hampered by the Americans’ alliance with France. His Letter… is an exemplary piece of diplomacy” (DNB). Wilkes’ newspaper The North Briton included satirical attacks on the Earl of Bute, George III’s Prime minister, and reflected many of the debates over Britain’s relationship with the American colonies. Leonard’s Massachusettensis was the “most influential early Tory attempt to defend England’s conduct” (Howes). $1,500-2,500

The United States Exploring Expedition “was the first American scientific expedition of any size, charged to ‘extend the bounds of Science and promote the acquisition of knowledge,’ and was one of the most ambitious Pacific expeditions ever attempted” (Forbes). Wilkes’s survey of the Pacific Islands resulted in over 200 new charts for 280 islands, and he was the first to use the term “Antarctic Continent.” Ferguson 4209; Forbes 1574; Haskell 2B; Howes W-414. $8,000-12,000

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE SELLERS

Evaluation of Property If you have property you wish to sell, please call our Consignment Department at 312.280.1212 to arrange for a consultation. At that time, you may make an appointment to bring your property or photographs, along with any other pertinent information, to Hindman LLC and we will be happy to provide you with complimentary estimates and advice. If you have a large collection, an appointment may be made to evaluate the property on-site. Fees for on-site visits may vary.

Standard Commission Rates Our standard rate of commission is equal to ten percent (10%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for $5,001 or more; and twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price on each lot sold for less than $5,001, with a minimum commission of $75 per lot sold. If your property fails to reach the reserve price agreed upon between you and Hindman LLC, you may be obligated to pay a reduced commission rate of five percent (5%) of the reserve price.

Shipping Arrangements Hindman LLC can advise you as to how to have your property delivered to our galleries. Packing, shipping and insurance are payable by the seller. In certain instances, packing and shipping costs may be paid by Hindman LLC and deducted from the proceeds of the sale. We may recommend packers and shippers, but we are not responsible for their acts or omissions.

Appraisals Appraisals can be arranged for insurance, donation, estate tax, family division or other purposes. Appraisal fees vary according to circumstances.

Please contact our Estates and Appraisals Department at 312.280.1212 for further information.

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS Conditions of Sale Hindman LLC encourages all prospective buyers to read the Conditions of Sale printed in this catalogue.

Exhibitions Hindman LLC recommends that all prospective buyers attend the pre-sale exhibition prior to the auction. Staff members are available at our pre-sale exhibitions to advise prospective buyers on particular objects or on any aspect of the bidding process.

Estimates Hindman LLC provides catalogue descriptions and pre-auction estimates for each lot included in the sale. These estimates are a guide for prospective bidders. They are not definitive. All pre-sale estimates are subject to revision.

Condition Reports We are happy to provide a condition report for lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports.

Bidding at Auction The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Hindman LLC a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.

Bidding Increments Bidding generally opens at half the low estimate and advances in the following order, although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction.

The normal bidding increments are: $0 - $200 ........................................ $10 $200 - $500 ........................................ $25 $500 - $1,000 ..................................... $50 $1,000 - $2,000 ................................... $100 $2,000 - $5,000 ................................... $200 $5,000 - $10,000 ................................. $500 $10,000 - $20,000 .............................. $1,000 $20,000 - $50,000 .............................. $2,000 $50,000 - $100,000 ............................ $5,000 $100,000 - $200,000 .......................... $10,000 Over ‘ $200,000 ...... Auctioneer’s Discretion In-House Bidding Live bidding at Hindman LLC is by paddle only. Please register for a paddle at the entrance of the sales room. If you are the successful bidder, your paddle number and the hammer price will be announced by the auctioneer.

Online Bidding Hindman LLC allows absentee and live bidding through our website at hindmanauctions.com as well as absentee and live bidding through third party online bidding providers which vary by sale. For more information regarding online bidding please visit our website at hindmanauctions.com.

Absentee Bidding If you are unable to attend an auction, you may use the absentee bid form provided at the back of this catalogue. Hindman LLC will exercise written order bids and telephone bids at no additional charge. Lots will always be sold as inexpensively as is allowed other bids and reserves as are on our books or bids executed in competition from the audience.

CONDITIONS OF SALE These Conditions of Sale set out the terms upon which Hindman LLC (“we,” “us,” or “our”) sells property by lot in this catalogue. You agree to be bound by these terms by registering to bid and/or by bidding in our auction. A glossary at the end defines the words in bold type.

A. BEFORE THE AUCTION

1. LOT DESCRIPTIONS AND WARRANTIES Our description of a lot, any statement of a lot’s condition, and any other oral or written statement about a lot—such as its nature, condition, artist, period, materials, dimensions, weight, exhibition or publication history, or provenance—are our opinion and shall not to be relied upon by you as a statement of fact. Except for the limited authenticity warranty contained in paragraphs E and F below, we do not provide any guarantee of our description or the nature of a lot.

2. CONDITION The physical condition of lots in our auctions can vary due to age, normal wear and tear, previous damage, and restoration/repair. All lots are sold “AS IS,” in the condition they are in at the time of the auction, and we and the seller make no representation or warranty and assume no liability of any kind as to a lot’s condition. Any reference to condition in a catalogue description or a condition report shall not amount to a full accounting of condition and may not include all faults, inherent defects, restoration, alteration, or adaptation. Likewise, images in our catalogue may not depict a lot accurately, as colors and shades may appear different in print or on screen than on physical inspection. We are not responsible for providing you with a description of a lot’s condition in the catalogue or in a condition report.

3. VIEWING LOTS We offer pre-auction viewings, either scheduled or by appointment, that are free of charge. If you believe that the catalogue description or condition reports are not sufficient, we suggest you inspect a lot personally or through a knowledgeable representative before you bid on a lot to make sure that you accept the description and its condition. We recommend you hire a professional adviser if you are not familiar with how to address the nature or condition of an object.

4. ESTIMATES Estimates of a lot account for the condition, rarity, quality, and provenance of the object and are based upon prices realized for similar objects in past auctions. Neither you nor anyone else may rely on our estimates as a prediction or guarantee of the actual selling price of a lot or its value for any other purpose. Estimates do not include the buyer’s premium, any applicable taxes, and any other applicable charges.

5. WITHDRAWAL We may, in our sole discretion, withdraw a lot from auction at any time prior to or during the sale and shall have no liability to you for our decision to withdraw.

B. REGISTERING TO BID

1. NEW BIDDERS New bidders must register at least twenty-four (24) hours before an auction and must provide us with documentation of their identity. (a) Individuals must provide photo identification (driver’s license, non-driver ID card, or passport) and, if not shown on the photo identification, proof of current address (a current utility bill or bank statement). (b) Corporate clients must provide a Certificate of Incorporation or its equivalent bearing the company’s name and registered address, together with documentary proof of directors and beneficial owners. (c) Trusts, partnerships, offshore companies, and other business entities must contact us in advance of the auction to discuss our requirements. If we are not satisfied with the information you provide us in our bidder identification and other registration procedures, we may refuse to register you to bid, and if you make a successful bid, we may cancel the contract for sale between you and the seller. New bidders may be required to provide us with a financial reference and/or a deposit before we allow them to bid.

2. RETURNING BIDDERS If you have not bought anything from us recently, then we may require you to register as a new bidder, as described in the paragraph above. Please contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction.

3. BIDDING FOR ANOTHER PERSON If you are bidding as an agent on behalf of another person, your principal must be a registered bidder and must provide us with written authorization

148 S E L E C T I O N S F R O M T H E L I B R A R Y O F G E R A L D A N D B A R B A R A W E I N E R

allowing you to bid. You, as the agent, shall accept personal liability to pay the purchase price and all other sums due unless we have agreed in writing before the auction that you are acting as an agent on behalf of your principal and that we will only seek payment from your principal.

4. BIDDING IN THE SALEROOM If you wish to bid in the saleroom, you must first acquire a bidding paddle at least thirty (30) minutes before the auction.

5. OUR BIDDING SERVICES We offer the following bidding services as a convenience to our clients, subject to these Conditions of Sale. We shall not be responsible for any error, omission, or failure, human or otherwise, in providing these services. (a) Phone Bids: You must contact us at least twenty-four (24) hours prior to the auction to arrange a phone bid. We will accept bids by telephone for lots only if our staff is available to take the bids. We agree that we may record telephone bids. (b) Internet Bids: You can bid in our live sales via our bidding platform or through third-party bidding sites. (c) Written Bids: You can find a Written Bid Form in the back of our catalogues, at the auction location, or online at www.hindmanauctions.com. We must receive your completed Written Bid Form at least twenty-four (24) hours before the auction. We will endeavor to execute written bids at the lowest possible price consistent with the reserve. If you make a written bid on a lot that does not have a reserve and there is no higher bid than yours, we will bid on your behalf at approximately fifty percent (50%) of the low estimate or, if lower, the amount of your bid. The first written bid we receive of those for identical amounts will be given priority over other bids.

6. CREDIT CARD AUTHORIZATION HOLD When you register to bid you may be asked to provide us with a valid credit card number. You authorize us to verify the validity of the credit card by placing a $100 authorization hold on the card that will remain until it falls off, usually within 48 hours.

C. DURING THE AUCTION

1. BIDDING IN THE AUCTION (a) Live Auctions. We will appoint an individual auctioneer to administer a live auction. The auctioneer may accept bids from (a) written bids left with us by bidders before the auction; (b) bidders in the saleroom; (c) telephone bidders; and (d) Internet bidders. Bidding generally starts below the low estimate and increases in steps, called bid increments. The auctioneer will decide at his/ her sole option where the bidding should start and the bid increments. Bid increments may vary from auction to auction. You shall comply with all laws and regulations in force that govern your bidding. (b) Online-only Auctions. Bids may only be submitted on our website or through third-party bidding sites between the dates and times specified in the lot’s description. Your bid is submitted once you place and confirm your bid amount. You agree that a bid is final once it is placed and that you may never amend or revoke your bid. You are fully responsible for any errors you make in bidding. Bidding generally opens at or below the low estimate and increases in steps (bidding increments) to be determined in Hindman’s sole discretion.

2. AUCTIONEER’S DISCRETION The auctioneer shall have absolute discretion to (a) admit a bidder into or remove a bidder from the saleroom or online auction; (b) accept or refuse any bid; (c) change the order of the lots in the auction; (d) move the bidding backward or forward; (e) withdraw any lot from the auction; (f) divide any lot or combine any two or more lots; (g) reopen or continue the bidding even after the hammer has fallen; and (h) continue the bidding, determine the successful bidder, cancel the sale of the lot, or reoffer and resell any lot in the event that there is an error or dispute related to bidding or the application of the reserve, whether during or after the auction.

You must provide us with written notice within three (3) business days of the date of the auction if you believe that the auctioneer has accepted the successful bid in error. The auctioneer will consider the claim and decide in good faith if the sale of the lot is final, whether he/she will cancel the sale of the lot, or whether he/she will reoffer and resell the lot. The auctioneer’s decision in exercise of this discretion is final. This paragraph does not in any way affect our ability to cancel the sale of a lot under other applicable provisions of these Conditions of Sale, including the rights of cancellation set forth in sections B(1), D(6), E(2), and G(1).

3. BIDDING ON BEHALF OF THE SELLER The auctioneer may, at his/her sole option, bid on behalf of the seller up to one bidding increment before the reserve by making either consecutive or responsive bids. The auctioneer will not identify these as bids made on behalf of the seller. If a lot is offered without reserve, the auctioneer will open the bidding at approximately fifty percent (50%) of the lot’s low estimate; where

necessary, will lower the asking bid until a bid is received; and will solicit higher bids from that amount. If there are no bids on a lot, the auctioneer may deem the lot unsold.

4. SUCCESSFUL BIDS AND INVOICES Subject to paragraph C(2), the contract of sale between the seller and the successful bidder is formed when the final bid is accepted and the auctioneer’s hammer strikes. The successful bid price is the hammer price, and we will issue an invoice only to the registered bidder who made the successful bid.

While we send out invoices by mail and/or email after the auction, we shall not be responsible for telling you whether your bid was successful. You should contact us immediately after the auction to find out the success of your bid in order to avoid having to pay storage charges.

D. AFTER THE AUCTION

1. THE BUYER’S PREMIUM In addition to the hammer price, the successful bidder agrees to pay us a buyer’s premium on the hammer price of each lot sold. On all lots, we charge twenty-five percent (25%) of the hammer price up to and including $250,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $250,000 up to and including $3,000,000; and twelve percent (12%) of any amount in excess of $3,000,000. If the bidder bids through a third-party platform the bidder agrees to pay us a surcharge equal to the fee levied by the third-party platform. The third-party platform fee is in addition to the buyer’s premium.

2. TAXES The successful bidder is responsible for any applicable taxes, including any sales or use tax or equivalent tax wherever such taxes may arise on the hammer price, the buyer’s premium, and/or any other charges related to the lot. A sales or use tax is dependent upon a number of factors, including, but not limited to, our volume of sale and the place of delivery of the lot, regardless of the nationality or citizenship of the successful bidder. The applicable sales tax rate will be determined based upon the state, county, or locale to which the lot will be shipped or where it is picked-up in person. We collect sales tax in states where legally required.

3. MAKING PAYMENT (a) Immediately following the auction, you must pay the purchase price, consisting of the hammer price, plus the buyer’s premium, plus any applicable duties and sales, use, or other applicable taxes. Payment is due no later than by the end of the seventh (7th) calendar day following the date of the auction, which we refer to as the due date. (b) We will only accept payment from the registered successful bidder. Once issued, we cannot change the buyer’s name on an invoice or reissue the invoice in a different name. (c) You must pay for lots in US dollars in one of the following ways: (i) Wire transfer. (ii) Bank checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and we may impose other conditions. Once we have deposited your check, property cannot be released until five (5) business days have passed. (iii) Personal checks: You must make these payable to Hindman LLC, and they must be drawn from US dollar accounts from a US bank. The property will not be released until the check has cleared and the funds are received by us. (iv) Cash: We accept cash payments (including money orders and traveler’s checks) subject to a maximum aggregate of US $10,000 per buyer, per sale. (d) You must quote your invoice number when making a payment. All payments sent by post must be sent to Hindman LLC, 1338 West Lake Street, Chicago, IL 60607, ATTN: Client Accounting Department.

4. TRANSFERRING OWNERSHIP TO YOU You will not own the lot and title will not pass to you until we have received full payment in good funds of the purchase price, even in circumstances where we have released the lot to you.

5. TRANSFERRING RISK TO YOU Unless we have agreed otherwise with you, the risk in and responsibility for the lot will transfer to you from whichever is the earlier of the following: (a) when you collect the lot; or (b) the end of the thirtieth (30th) day following the date of the auction or, if earlier, the date the lot is taken into care by a third-party warehouse.

6. YOUR FAILURE TO PAY If you fail to pay us the purchase price in full in good funds by the due date, we will be entitled to do one or more of the following (as well as enforce any other rights and remedies we have by law) at our sole discretion: (a) We can charge interest from the due date at a rate of up to one and onehalf percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid amount due. (b) We can cancel the sale of the lot and sell the lot again, publicly or privately, on such terms as we believe appropriate, in which case you must pay us any shortfall between the amount you owe us and the resale price, plus all costs, expenses, losses, damages, and legal fees we incur due to the cancellation. (c) We can pay the seller the amount due to them, in which case you acknowledge and understand that we will have all the seller’s rights to pursue you for such amount.

(d) We can hold you legally responsible for the amount you owe us and bring legal proceedings against you to recover the amount owed by you, plus other losses, interest, legal fees, and costs as allowed by law. (e) We can reveal your identity and contact details to the seller. (f) We can reject any bids made by or on behalf of you in future auctions or require you to provide us with a deposit before accepting any bids. (g) We can exercise all the rights and remedies of a person holding security over any property in our possession owned by you, whether by way of pledge, security interest, or in any other way as permitted by the law of the place where such property is located. You will be deemed to have granted such security to us and we may retain such property as collateral security for your obligations to us. (h) We can take any other action we deem necessary or appropriate.

7. SHIPPING, COLLECTION, AND STORAGE (a) You must collect purchased lots within thirty (30) days of the auction.

We can assist in making shipping arrangements by suggesting art handlers, packers, transporters, or experts, but you must arrange all transport and shipping with them, and we are not responsible for their acts, failure to act, or neglect. (b) If you do not collect any purchased lot within thirty (30) days following the auction, we may, at our sole option, (i) charge you storage and insurance costs; (ii) move the lot to another Hindman location or to a third-party warehouse, whereupon we will charge you transport costs, insurance costs, and administration fees for doing so, and you will be subject to the third-party storage warehouse’s standard terms and responsible for paying its standard fees and costs; or (iii) sell the lot in any commercially reasonable way we think appropriate. (c) In accordance with applicable state law, if you have paid for the lot in full but you do not collect the lot within the time specified by the law of the state where the auction takes place, we may charge you state sales tax for the lot. (d) Nothing in this paragraph is intended to limit our rights under paragraph D(6).

8. EXPORTING, IMPORTING, AND ENDANGERED SPECIES (a) The shipping of a lot is affected by United States export laws or the import laws of other countries. If you are outside the United States, then local laws may prevent you from importing a lot. You alone are responsible for seeking advice prior to bidding and meeting the requirements of any law or regulation applying to the export or import of a lot. (b) Lots made of or including (regardless of the percentage) endangered and other protected species of wildlife—such as, among other things, ivory, tortoiseshell, crocodile skin, rhinoceros horn, whalebone, certain species of coral, and Brazilian rosewood—may be subject to export controls in the US and import controls in other countries. You should check the relevant wildlife laws and regulations before bidding on any lot containing wildlife material if you plan to export the lot from the United States, import the lot into another country, or ship the lot between states. Your purchase of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife is at your own risk, and you shall be responsible for any scientific test or other reports required for export from the United States or for shipment between states. We will not cancel your purchase and refund the purchase price if your lot may not be exported, imported, or shipped between states, or if it is seized for any reason by a government authority. It is your responsibility to determine and satisfy the requirements of any applicable laws or regulations relating to import, export, and/or interstate shipping of a lot containing endangered and other protected species of wildlife.

E. WARRANTIES

1. SELLER’S WARRANTIES For each lot, the seller gives a warranty that the seller (a) is the owner of the lot or a joint owner of the lot acting with the permission of the other co-owners or, if the seller is not the owner or a joint owner of the lot, has the permission of the owner to sell the lot or the right to do so by law; and (b) has the right to transfer ownership of the lot to the buyer without any restrictions or claims by anyone else. If either of the above warranties are incorrect, the seller shall not have to pay more than the purchase price (as defined in paragraph D(3) above) paid by you to us. The seller will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, expected savings, loss of opportunity or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses. The seller gives no warranty other than as set out above, and as far as the seller is allowed by law, all warranties from the seller to you, and all other obligations upon the seller that may be added to this agreement by law, are excluded. No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the seller’s warranties or creates an additional warranty on behalf of the seller with respect to a lot.

Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

2. OUR LIMITED AUTHENTICITY WARRANTY Our limited authenticity warranty, which lasts for one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction, is that the lots in our sales are authentic as defined in paragraph H, below. You must notify Hindman regarding concerns of authenticity in writing within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or within three (3) months of the date of an online only auction. Following receipt of that written notification, subject to the terms below, Hindman will refund the purchase price paid by the client. The terms of this limited authenticity warranty are as follows: (a) It will be honored for claims notified in writing within a period of one (1) year from the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction. After such time, we will not be obligated to honor the limited authenticity warranty. (b) It is given only for information shown in UPPERCASE type in the first line of the catalogue description (the Heading). It does not apply to any information other than that in the Heading, even if it is shown in UPPERCASE type. (c) It does not apply to any Heading or part of a Heading that is qualified.

“Qualified” means limited by a clarification in a lot’s catalogue description or by the use in a Heading of one of the terms listed in the definition of “qualified” provided in paragraph H, below. Qualified Headings are not covered at all by this limited authenticity warranty. (d) It applies to the Heading as amended by any saleroom notice. (e) It does not apply where scholarship has developed since the auction, leading to a change in generally accepted opinion. Further, it does not apply if the Heading either matched the generally accepted opinion of experts at the date of the auction or drew attention to any conflict of opinion. (f) It does not apply if the lot can only be shown not to be authentic by a scientific process that, on the date we published the catalogue, was not available or generally accepted for use, was unreasonably expensive or impractical, or was likely to have damaged the lot. (g) Its benefit is only available to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot, issued at the time of the sale, and only if, on the date of the notice of claim, the original buyer is the full owner of the lot and the lot is free from any claim, interest, or restriction by anyone else. The benefit of this limited authenticity warranty may not be transferred by the original buyer to anyone else. (h) In order to make a claim under the limited authenticity warranty, you must (i) give us written notice of your claim within one (1) year of the date of a live auction or three (3) months from an online only auction ; (ii) at our option, pay for and provide us with the written opinions of two recognized experts in the field, mutually agreed upon by you and us, confirming that the lot is not authentic (we reserve the right to obtain additional opinions at our expense); and (iii) return the lot at your expense to the saleroom from which you bought it in the condition it was in at the time of sale. (i) Your only right under this limited authenticity warranty is to cancel the sale and receive a refund of the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not, under any circumstances, be required to pay you more than the purchase price, nor will we be liable for any loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, other damages, or expenses. (j) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide additional information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the limited authenticity warranty or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

3. ADDITIONAL WARRANTY FOR BOOKS If the lot is a book, then we give an additional warranty to the original buyer shown on the invoice for the lot issued at the time of the sale in the following circumstances: (a) We will refund the purchase price to the original buyer if we, in our sole discretion, are convinced that the book is defective in text or illustration, subject to the following terms: (i) This additional warranty does not apply to (A) the absence of blanks, half titles, tissue guards, or advertisements; or damage in respect of bindings, stains, spotting, marginal tears, or other defects not affecting the completeness of the text or illustration; (B) drawings, autographs, letters or manuscripts, signed photographs, music, atlases, maps, or periodicals; (C) books not identified by title; (D) lots sold without a printed estimate; (E) books that are described in the catalog as sold not subject to return; or (F) defects stated in any condition report or announced at the time of sale. (ii) To make a claim under this additional warranty, you must give written details of the defect within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale and return the lot within twenty-one (21) days of the date of the sale to the saleroom at which you bought it in the same condition as at the time of sale. (iii) Paragraphs E(2)(b), (c), (d), (e), (h), and (i) also apply to a claim under this additional warranty. (c) No employee or agent of Hindman is authorized to make a representation or provide other information, whether orally or in writing, that amends the additional warranty for books or creates an additional warranty with respect to a lot. Any such representation, other information, or additional warranty shall be null and void.

4. JEWELRY (a) Colored gemstones (such as rubies, sapphires, and emeralds) may have been treated to improve their appearance through methods such as heating and/or various clarity enhancements. These methods are considered common by the international jewelry trade but may make a gemstone more fragile and/or cause the gemstone to require special care over time. (b) All types of gemstones may have been improved by some method. You may request a gemological report for any item that does not have a report if the request is made to us at least three (3) weeks before the date of the auction and you pay the fee for the report. (c) We do not obtain a gemological report for every gemstone sold in our auctions. When we do get gemological reports from internationally accepted gemological laboratories, such reports are described in the catalogue.

Reports from American gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment to the gemstone. Reports from European gemological laboratories describe any improvement or treatment only if we request that they do so, but they do confirm when no improvement or treatment has been made. Because of differences in approach and technology, laboratories may not agree on whether a gemstone has been treated, the amount of treatment, or whether that treatment is permanent. The gemological laboratories only report on the improvements or treatments known to them at the date they make the report. (d) For jewelry sales, estimates are based on the information in any gemological report. If no report is available, assume that the gemstones may have been treated or enhanced.

5. WATCHES AND CLOCKS (a) Almost all clocks and watches are repaired in their lifetime and may include parts that are not original. We do not give a warranty that any individual component part of any watch is authentic. Watchbands described as “associated” are not part of the original watch and may not be authentic.

Clocks may be sold without pendulums, weights, or keys. (b) As collectors’ watches often have very fine and complex mechanisms, you are responsible for any general service, change of battery, or further repair work that may be necessary. We do not give a warranty that any watch is in good working order. Certificates are not available unless described in the catalogue. (c) Most wristwatches have been opened to find out the type and quality of movement. For that reason, wristwatches with water-resistant cases may not be waterproof, and we recommend you have them checked by a competent watchmaker before use. (d) Many of the watches offered for sale in this catalogue are pictured with straps made of endangered or protected animal materials such as alligator or crocodile skin. When straps are shown for display purposes only and are not for sale. We may remove and retain the strap prior to shipment from the sale site. Please check with the department for details on a lot with such a strap.

6. YOUR WARRANTIES You warrant to us and the seller that (a) the funds you use for payment are not connected with any criminal activity, including tax evasion, and neither are you under investigation, nor have you been charged with or convicted of money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes; (b) where you are bidding on behalf of another person, (i) you have conducted appropriate customer due diligence on the ultimate buyer(s) of the lot(s) in accordance with all applicable anti-money laundering and sanctions laws, you consent to us relying on this due diligence, you will retain for a period of not less than five (5) years the documentation evidencing the due diligence, and you will make such documentation promptly available for immediate inspection by an independent third-party auditor upon our written request to do so; (ii) the arrangements between you and the ultimate buyer(s) in relation to the lot or otherwise do not, in whole or in part, facilitate tax crimes; (iii) you do not know, and have no reason to suspect, that the funds used for payment are connected with or the proceeds of any criminal activity, including tax evasion, or that the ultimate buyer(s) are under investigation for, or have been charged with or convicted of, money laundering, terrorist activities, or other crimes.

F. OUR LIABILITY TO YOU

(a) We give no warranty in relation to any statement made, or information given, by us or our representatives or employees about any lot other than as set out in the limited authenticity warranty or in the additional warranty for books, and as far as we are allowed by law, all warranties and other terms that may be added to this agreement by law are excluded. The seller’s warranties contained in paragraph E(1) are their own, and we do not have any liability to you in relation to those warranties. (b) We are not responsible to you for any reason (whether for breaking this agreement or for any other matter relating to your purchase of, or bid for, any lot) other than in the event of fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation by us, or other than as expressly set out in these Conditions of Sale. (c) WE DO NOT GIVE ANY REPRESENTATION, WARRANTY, OR GUARANTEE

OR ASSUME ANY LIABILITY OF ANY KIND IN RESPECT OF ANY LOT WITH REGARD TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, DESCRIPTION, SIZE, QUALITY, CONDITION, ATTRIBUTION, AUTHENTICITY, RARITY, IMPORTANCE, MEDIUM, PROVENANCE, EXHIBITION HISTORY, LITERATURE, OR HISTORICAL RELEVANCE. EXCEPT AS REQUIRED BY LOCAL LAW, ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND IS EXCLUDED BY THIS PARAGRAPH. (d) Our written and telephone bidding services, online bidding services, and condition reports are free services, and we are not responsible to you for any error, omission, or failure of these services. (e) We have no responsibility to any person other than a buyer in connection with the purchase of any lot. (f) If, despite the terms in paragraphs F(a)–(e) or E(2)–(3) above, we are found to be liable to you for any reason, we shall not have to pay more than the purchase price paid by you to us. We will not be responsible to you for any reason for loss of profits or business, loss of opportunity or value, expected savings or interest, costs, damages, or expenses.

G. OTHER TERMS

1. OUR ABILITY TO CANCEL In addition to the other rights of cancellation contained herein, we can cancel a sale of a lot if (i) any of your warranties in paragraph E(4) are not correct; (ii) we reasonably believe that completing the transaction is, or may be, unlawful; or (iii) we reasonably believe that the sale places us or the seller under any liability to anyone else or may damage our reputation.

2. RECORDINGS We may videotape and/or audio record proceedings at any auction. We will keep any personal information confidential, except to the extent that disclosure is required by law. If you do not want to be videotaped, you may decide to make a telephone or written bid or bid online instead. Unless we agree otherwise in writing, you may not videotape or record proceedings at any auction.

3. COPYRIGHT We own the copyright in all images, illustrations, and written material produced by or for us relating to a lot, including the contents of our catalogues, unless otherwise noted therein. You cannot use them without our prior written permission. We make no representation and offer no guarantee that the buyer of a lot will gain any copyright or other reproduction rights.

4. ENFORCING THIS AGREEMENT If a court finds that any part of this agreement is invalid, illegal, or impossible to enforce, that part of the agreement will be treated as being deleted, and the rest of this agreement will not be affected.

5. TRANSFERRING YOUR RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES You may not grant a security over or transfer your rights or responsibilities under these terms unless we have given our written permission. This agreement will be binding on your successors or estate and anyone who takes over your rights and responsibilities.

6. PERSONAL INFORMATION We will hold and process your personal information in line with our privacy policy at www.hindmanauctions.com.

7. WAIVER No failure or delay to exercise any right or remedy contained herein shall constitute a waiver of that or any other right or remedy, nor shall it prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

8. LAW AND DISPUTES This agreement, and any noncontractual obligations arising out of or in connection with this agreement, or any other rights you may have relating to the purchase of a lot will be governed by the laws of Illinois. Before we or you start any court proceedings (except in the limited circumstances where the dispute, controversy, or claim is related to proceedings brought by someone else and this dispute could be joined to those proceedings), you and we agree to try to settle the dispute by mediation submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for mediation in Illinois. If the dispute is not settled by mediation within sixty (60) days from the date when mediation is initiated, then the dispute shall be submitted to JAMS, or its successor, for final and binding arbitration in accordance with its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures or, if the dispute involves a non-US party, the JAMS International Arbitration Rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be Illinois, and the arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator, who shall be appointed within thirty (30) days after the initiation of the arbitration. The language used in the arbitral proceedings shall be English. The arbitrator shall order the production of documents only upon a showing that such documents are relevant and material to the outcome of the dispute. The arbitration shall be confidential, except to the extent necessary to enforce a judgment or where disclosure is required by law. The arbitration award shall be final and binding on all parties involved.

Judgment upon the award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets. This

arbitration and any proceedings conducted hereunder shall be governed by Title 9 (Arbitration) of the United States Code and by the United Nations Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards of June 10, 1958.
