Description:
New York: Harper & Brothers, 1878. First Edition. Very good. 32mo. 94 pp. (including integral 4-page advertisements for Harper's Half-Hour Series) + 2 pp. at end (advertisements for Wilkie Collins and Thackeray). Contemporary brown linen cloth, leather spine label (defective); paper stock toned; browning on first page of advertisements from offsetting of tipped on half-sheet; pencil scribbles on front endpaper; decorative pastedowns and endpapers. Henry James's "An International Episode" is partly a response to THIS little satire on American manners in New York City, which James rewrote from an American (instead of a "foreign") point of view. James was exasperated with the author's treatment of the New York "haut monde." In his 1878 review of "The Tender Recollections of Irene Macgillicuddy" (The Nation, 30 May 1878), James conceded that there were American social types, and "a considerable field for satire." James was "sardonic about the portrait of the young American female in which 'the great…

Description:
Paris: Ch. Bosse, 1927. FIRST EDITION. Softcover. Very good. Small 4to. xvi, 235, [3] pp. Bound in original wrappers, as issued. Preserved in a protective cloth case. The essential resource for the study of provenance of medical books, still unsurpassed. Ours is one of only 50 on fine Velin paper, rare thus in private ownership. In fact, we have located only two other copies on Velin in commerce in the last 90 years: Maggs' 1983 Catalogue 1037, and (more "recently") at Swann Galleries 19 Oct. 2000. ¶ This formidable work is profusely illustrated, with 212 reproductions of bookplates and "super ex-libros" stamps that appear on the covers of bookbindings. There are 688 authoritative bio-bibliographical notices of French book collectors of the 18th- and 19th-century, all of whom (of course) were medical doctors and pharmacists. Olivier and Vailet even include coverage of early hospital libraries. The names of the owners are usefully arranged in alphabetical order. Contains an interesting preface by…
