Description:
New York: Sea Cliff Press, 1989 One of 150 copies printed on Saunders Mold-Made "Cream" paper. . Parchment wrappers with printed paper spine label. . Octavo. Title-page vignette and decorative endpapers by Dean Bornstein. Bottom corner of front cover lightly bent. Still, quite a fine copy. Prospectus laid in. Ansen was Auden's student at the New School between November, 1946 and May, 1947, and then served as the poet's secretary and amanuensis. He kept a record of his conversations with Auden. "In the tradition of Hester Thrale's Johnsoniana, or Eckermann's Geothe, these conversations—though they are really monologues—record the private, extemporaneous and often outrageous musings of one of the great poets of our century" (prospectus).

Description:
London: Macmillan, 1874 First edition of this collection of fable-like short stories illustrating economic principles. In the preface, Fawcett credits Harriet Martineau for "the idea, which she made so popular thirty years ago, of hiding the powder, Political Economy, in the raspberry jam of a story.". Octavo. With a text diagram. Millicent Garrett Fawcett, LL.D. (1847 – 1929), was one of the most important figures in the women's suffrage movement both in Britain and across the world. She supported a wide variety of causes including equal education, equal pay, ending the exploitation of working women, and creating legislation against child marriage and sex trafficking. Early in her career, Fawcett founded Newnham College, a women's college at Cambridge, and supported early bids to open Cambridge degrees to women. She was also a supporter of adult education who served as a governor of Bedford College, a teacher training school; in 1899, the University of St. Andrews awarded her an honorary LL.D.…

London: Henry Colburn and Richard Bentley, 1830 First edition. Nineteenth-century half red morocco over decorative boards, gilt spine. . Three volumes in one, large twelvemo. Some rubbing and a few scuffs to binding extremities. A very good copy of a scarce set. This is a an exhaustive survey of Greek mythology, intended "as a useful and not inelegant manual, for the purposes of education in schools and families; besides forming a compendium suited to the cabinet or study of the amateur of the fine arts, and an interesting vade mecum for the young traveller in his tour through Italy and other countries of classic interest." It is dedicated to the future Victoria, then a child of eleven, and with the death of her uncle George IV and the accession of his brother William Duke of Clarence, the presumptive heir to the British throne. The name of the author is unknown, though she is clearly educated and literature. The dedication is dated Wadlands, July 1829.

New Haven: Published by A.H. Maltby, 1831 First edition of this collection of three long stories on American colonial life. Original light brown muslin with orange printed paper spine label. . Twelvemo. A good, tight copy of the first book by an author who would later propose the Baconian theory of Shakespeare authorship. Delia Bacon (1811 – 1859) was an author, playwright, and Shakespeare scholar who, during her lectures, popularized the theory that Francis Bacon (no relation) was the true author of Shakespeare's works. In 1856, William Henry Smith became the first to publish work advancing the theory, and Bacon published her first book on the theory, The Philosophy of the Plays of Shakespeare Unfolded, the next year. According to Bacon, "Shakespeare" was actually a group of writers including Francis Bacon, Sir Walter Raleigh, and Edmund Spenser.
