[Original Autograph Letter, Signed ("S. L. Clemens") to James R. Osgood]

by Clemens, Samuel L

  • Used
Hartford, 1883. 1 2/3 pages, in pencil, on two octavo lettersheets. Folded for mailing, filing pinhole through upper left corner, else very good or better. To James R. Osgood, then principal of Osgood & Company, and publisher of THE PRINCE AND THE PAUPER, and other titles by Clemens and his contemporaries, on the occasion of George W. Cable's appearances in Hartford: "Cable read Parson Jones before the Young Girls' Club & scored a rattling victory. They have made it the talk of Hartford. The Warners are gathering a crowd for tonight & when Cable is through with them his stock will be away up, & the memory of his defeat will be sponged out & forgotten. He knows how to read - there ain't no question about it ...." Cable arrived in Hartford on 2 April, and stayed with C. Dudley Warner; during the course of his six days in Hartford, he spoke or read at several public or private venues, including a reading at Unity Hall on the 4th, where Clemens introduced him, but the reading went poorly. As indicated in Clemens' letter, he vindicated himself with a reading on the 5th. Clemens concludes his letter with a troubling paragraph about Livy Clemens' deteriorating health, closing: "I am uneasy & bothered. Yrs truly SL Clemens."

[London?], [nd. but possibly ca 1914].. Two pages, closely written in pencil, with deletions and insertions, on two quarto sheets of pale blue T.H. Saunders letterstock (watermarked '1913'). Horizontal fold, with minor creases and smudges, but very good. An intriguing manuscript in which Shaw embarks on a characteristically discursive consideration of war, politics, economics and matters of civilization, with the tone of possibly having been written in response to a request for views on same: "Pardon the abruptness of the suggestion; but suppose we blow the German fleet out of the water, or under it, and the consequence is that Russia profits by our victory to the extent of carving a Baltic province out of Germany and condemning Sweden to live in the bear's mouth, will that be a result for western civilization to rejoice over? The French seem to think that because Russia has drained away from France so much of the capital that is needed at home for making French towns and French children healthier… Read More

(1958), 20,9x26,9cm, 4 pages sur 4 feuillets. - Manuscrit autographe de Boris Vian intitulé ""Conseil de révision (des opinions)"" à propos de Paul Anka. 4 pages rédigées au stylo à bille bleu sur 4 feuillets perforés réunis par des agrafes.

Le manuscrit était destiné à « l'élite », c'est-à-dire aux lecteurs du Canard enchaîné, il a finalement été publié dans La Belle époque (1980). Bel article faisant la promotion du concert à l'Olympia du jeune Paul Anka, alors âgé de dix-sept ans, plus de dix ans avant le succès planétaire de My Way.

Hayden was an American social and political activist, author, and politician, perhaps best-known for his role in the radical social movements of the 1960s. After co-authoring the charter manifesto of new Left radicalism, the "Port Huron Statement," in 1962, Hayden would complete his biography of influential sociologist and elite theorist C. Wright Mills at the University of Michigan in 1964, exploring Mills's scholarship and activism and the ideas and thinkers that influenced him.

Description:
Small Octavo. Bound in maroon limp calf, rubbed, scuffed, and well used but still strong. Internally a little grubby and smudged by handling, much as might be expected of a working kitchen book. 22pp. of handwritten recipes, rather enthusiastically jammed onto each page as if the author was afraid of running out of space, there's a rather youthful exuberance to the putting together of this little pocket recipe book. The recipes are dominated by cakes, puddings and breads, including Raspberry Fool, and various sponge cakes, with some complex preserved meat dishes like Calves' Feet Jelly, and a recipe for Mock Turtle Soup involving a Calf's Head with the skin on. The spelling is a little erratic, the composition pretty makeshift, but that doesn't detract from it being a handy little household reference.

Description:
Each letter written to Francis Lawrence Bickley, author of The Adventures of Harlequin which was one of early fine books he illustrated. Each written on his letterhead John Austen. The September letter is not dated by year but from internal evidence points to 1925 when his "Rogues in Porcelain" was issued by Chapman and Hall. Austen writes that he is glad he thinks well of the "Rogues" and I look forward to your criticism of it. [In a case of apparent censorship, he writes:] "A[rthur]. Waugh, publisher of Chapman and Hall, is [desolatest?] because forsooth I have included "The Dove" its evidently the first line he had read it, as he knew well that I was to use it and now he says its indecent and will probably stop sales. I suggest it only increases them. I will certainly tell him to include the Bookman in his list but probably has already done so." He goes on to note: "I enclose the proof of your story which I enjoyed muchly--wish I could decorate a volume of such. Certainly, I will do something with… Read More
