Description:
[Munich: Ottenhausen Verlag, July 1980].. Quarto (27 x 20.5 cm). Hand lettered white linen. Fine. A unique album of eleven original colored ink abstract drawings (ca. 12 x 9 cm) drawn within blindstamped frames on fine, heavy paper, each keyed to an index by the particular colors utilized in the drawings. The title leaf and the colophon are executed in ink by the artist - the title is also signed by the artist. Laid in is a paper napkin stained with the colored inks (perhaps utilized by the artist to wipe his pen?).

Description:
Cambridge: Printed by J. Bentham, Printer to the University, [1759].. 20pp. Quarto. Somewhat later plain drab wrapper. Some marginal browning to the last three leaves, otherwise near very good. First edition of the author's first separate publication, a Seatonian Prize Poem. Porteus, the child of Virginia planters who returned to the UK due to his father's health and financial stress, is well-remembered for his active opposition to the West Indian slave trade. He served successively as Bishop of Chester and of London, and his 1783 Anniversary Sermon before the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts challenged the abuses in the Codrignton Plantations in Barbados and marked him as among the sternest of critics of the practice of slavery. This poem was occasionally reprinted in the various editions of his clerical writings. ESTC N471. OCLC: 33137791.

Description:
Philadelphia: Printed and Sold by Robert Bell, 1777.. [6],[9]-79,[5]pp. [p.78 misnumbered 68]. Octavo. Extracted. Some tanning and occasional spotting, lacking the rare half- title and frontis, pencil note in margin of [84] "Property of M[ichael] P[apantonio]," a textually sound but obviously imperfect copy. First edition, first state of the text as per BAL. In the "Prologue," which is signed as "By Colonel J.P." (John Parke?), a number of the alterations eventually made in the second state are here made in early manuscript. Another edition appeared under the imprint of J. Trumbull from Norwich the same year. Brackenridge's literary works, among them the better known MODERN CHIVALRY, tend to be very uncommon and are seldom found perfect. This copy originated in the residuary inventory of Seven Gables Book Shop. The last copy at auction (as reported by RB Hub) appeared in 1946, and was also imperfect. A copy of Brackenridge's other play, THE BATTLE OF BUNKER'S HILL ... (Philadelphia 1776), also…

Description:
Seattle: University of Washington Book Store, 1930.. 40pp. Small octavo. Printed green laid paper wrapper over stiff wrapper. Spine faintly sunstruck, otherwise fine, untrimmed and unopened. First edition of this essay by the Scottish- American mathematician and fantasy fiction writer (the latter works written under his pseudonym, "John Taine"). Published as #44 in Glenn Hughes's highly important series of "University of Washington Chapbooks." An unknown, but small, number of copies of each title were signed by their authors/artists for the publisher and preserved and sold as sets. We've had two such sets over forty-plus years, and a portion of a third, from which this copy originates. Uncommon thus.
