First Edition. The book was reprinted, most notably in 1916 and 1928. Those later editions can be found, but the 1693 first edition is almost impossible to find outside of a few Rare Book Rooms of Major Universities and National Libraries. Vellum Covers, manuscript titling on the spine, 8" x 10". Pagination: [1 leaf] front free endpaper, [1] title page, [1] blank verso, [4] Epistola, [16] Prefatio, [1] blank, [1] PLATE of PAPAL COINAGE, 1,478 numbered columns / 739 pages (text pages numbered by column only, two columns per page), [30] Index and Errata.

There is a label size bookplate of Jacobi Manzoni at the upper corner of the front pastedown.
Jacobi Manzoni / Giacomo Manzoni, was an important Italian book collector. Manzoni was born in 1816 in Lugo, Romagna, into an aristocratic family. He was involved in many aspects of Italian life, but his main pursuit, which he began at a very early age, was collecting books and manuscripts. At the time of his death in 1889, he left a library of approximately 25,000 rare and highly valued volumes. This is one of those volumes. Condition: The Vellum Covers have yellowed and toned, the spine has substantially darkened, there is some peeling and cracking to the covers' edges and 2" of splitting at the top and bottom of the spine folds, the edges and spine ends are shelf worn and rubbed through at places, nonetheless the covers are solid, doing their job well, and attractive in a Harry Potter's Hogwarts Library way. There is a bit of writing on the endpapers, a small bookplate to the front pastedown (as noted above) and a small label with numbers to the rear pastedown;
the front free endpaper is creased, the title page has some edge wear and small edge chips, there is light toning and foxing throughout, overall the inner pages are very nice - tight, bright, clean, and unmarked.

About JOHAN FREDERIK CLASSEN (from Wikipedia):
******Johan Frederik Classen, frequently known simply as J. F. Classen, b.1725 d.1792, was a Danish-Norwegian industrialist, major general, landowner and founder of Det Classenske Fideicommis. He served as chancellery adviser to King Frederik V.
A patron of literature, Classen bought books at home and abroad until he had amassed a large library. In his will Classen left all his assets and possessions to a charitable foundation, Det Classenske Fideicommis. It was to be used "to educate good people...and to help to alleviate poverty and misery." The fund still has considerable assets.
The Classen Library (Danish: Det Classenske Bibliotek) in Amaliegade in Copenhagen was built at the time of Classen's death in 1792 to house his extensive library of some 20,000 volumes. It was a public library in Copenhagen, Denmark, the third largest library in the city, surpassed only by the Royal Danish Library and Copenhagen University Library. It existed until 1867 when it was merged with the Copenhagen University Library.****** (Read much more about J. F. Classen on his Wikipedia page.)

The Hamburgisches Magazin was a scientific journal containing essays, letters to the editor, etc., on the natural and physical sciences, often highlighting work from foreign scientists translated into German.
GREAT ASSOCIATION COPY. There is an OWNERSHIP BOOKPLATE of JOHANN FRIEDRICH BLUMENBACH, b.1752 d. 1840, on the front pastedown. Blumenbach was one of Germany's most important and influential early anthropologists. The bookplate has his PRINTED SIGNATURE on its face. I feel the Signature is PRINTED even though others claim it is HAND SIGNED / AUTOGRAPH. The two copies I found online, one held by a noted HISTORY OF SCIENCE bookseller and another held by the important Herzog August Bibliothek (Herzog August Library), claim that the signature on Blumenbach's bookplates is HAND SIGNED. However, the signatures on both the examples presented online, and mine, are EXACT in even the minutest details, and convince me that this is a printed signature. I have seen his signature on documents in the past and, like all signatures, they all had noticeable, even if sometimes small, deviations. These three examples have none that I can detect. A RARE BOOKPLATE and IMPORTANT ASSOCIATION COPY.
GOOD MINUS CONDITION: The front cover is detached but present, the rear cover is just holding on with the cord bindings, the leather spine title labels are missing and the spine gilt has substantially worn off, the leather covered boards are rubbed and scraped, the gilt coat-of-arms on the front and rear covers is bright but scratched and rubbed; the marbling on the top edges has faded away but is visible on the front and bottom page edges; internally, there is light browning and spotting throughout but the text is always clear and fully legible, overall the pages remain tightly bound, clean and unmarked. A complete, presentable copy with a detached front cover.
This publication is often found disbound with the various articles sold separately. It is hard to find a complete volume (i.e. 6 bound issues).
RARE with the ownership bookplate of the great natural scientist Johann Friedrich Blumenbach.
About JOHANN FRIEDRICH BLUMENBACH (from Wikipedia):
******Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, b.1752 d.1840, was a German physician, naturalist, physiologist, and anthropologist. He is considered to be a main founder of zoology and anthropology as comparative, scientific disciplines. He was also important as a race theorist.
He was one of the first to explore the study of the human being as an aspect of natural history. His teachings in comparative anatomy were applied to his classification of human races, of which he claimed there were five, Caucasian, Mongolian, Malayan, Ethiopian, and American. He was a member of what modern historians call the Göttingen School of History.
Blumenbach's contemporaries considered him one of the great theorists of his day and a leading light of German science. Kant and Friedrich Schelling both called him "one of the most profound biological theorists of the modern era". In the words of science historian Peter Watson, "roughly half the German biologists during the early nineteenth century studied under him or were greatly influenced by him".******
1807 POETIC LATIN REPHRASING of THE PSALMS by GEORGE BUCHANAN, SCOTTISH SCHOLAR

Georgii Buchanani Scoti, POETARUM SUI SECULI FACILE PRINCIPIS, Paraphrasis Psalmorum Davidis Poetica. Ad Optimam Editionem Thomae Ruddimani, A.M. Summo Studio Recognita et Castigata. Praemissa Est Accuratior Quam Antehac Carminum Explicatio. EDINBURGH : Excudebat C. Stewart, Academiae Typographus, Apud Mondell, Doig & Stevenson, 1807. Small Format Hardcover Book, leather covered boards that are DETACHED but present, 3.5x5.5 inches, xiv + 234 pages, plus 2 pages of Publisher's ads at the rear. In LATIN. The book is a POETIC LATIN REPHRASING / PARAPHRASING of the PSALMS by the great SCOTTISH Latin Scholar and Poet GEORGE BUCHANAN. ASSOCIATION COPY. The book has two interesting associations: (1) There is a signature on the title page of (?) BRAZER DAVIS. The question mark is because I cannot make out the first word, perhaps it is a first name or a military rank? There is a lot of historical information about a John Brazer Davis, also known as Colonel John Brazer Davis, an early American military man who is even mentioned several times in the memoirs of John Adams. Is this him? I do not know because, though Brazer Davis is written neatly and clearly, the word or title preceding Brazer Davis does not look like John or like Colonel, nor does it look like anything that I can figure out. (2) The book was deaccessioned from the Tufts College Library, and there is a printed signed note laid in that states the book was a gift of REV. CONVERS FRANCIS of CAMBRIDGE and was donated by him in 1861. The slip has his signature. Looking into both Convers Francis and John Brazer Davis one finds that they are often mentioned as being in the same fraternities and organizations at the same time, which is interesting. I HAVE PROVIDED IMAGES of the SIGNATURE THAT IS ON THE TITLE PAGE and of the laid in DONATION SLIP so that you can determine for yourself if the associations hold water or not. You can find information about both John Brazer Davis and Rev. Convers Francis on the Internet. CONDITION: Disbound Covers, as noted above; there are some library markings, including withdrawn stamps, here and there; there are relevant handwritten pencil notes in the margins and among the text, most are light and hard to read; there is offsetting to the margins of the first and last few pages; the first few pages have some water staining to the bottom margin; overall the inner pages are complete, remain nicely bound together, and have printing that is bright and clear. A very suitable copy for rebinding, should you desire to do so. About the author GEORGE BUCHANAN (from Wikipedia): ****** George Buchanan, b. 1506 d. 1582, was a Scottish historian and humanist scholar. According to historian Keith Brown, Buchanan was "the most profound intellectual sixteenth century Scotland produced." His ideology of resistance to royal usurpation gained widespread acceptance during the Scottish Reformation. Brown says the ease with which King James VII was deposed in 1689 shows the power of Buchanan's ideas. For mastery of the Latin language, Buchanan has seldom been surpassed by any modern writer. His style is not rigidly modelled on that of any classical author, but has a freshness and elasticity of its own. Hugh Trevor-Roper called him "by universal consent, the greatest Latin writer, whether in prose or in verse, in sixteenth century Europe". He wrote Latin as if it were his mother tongue. Buchanan also had a rich vein of poetical feeling, and much originality of thought. His translations of the Psalms and of the Greek plays are more than mere versions; his two tragedies, Baptistes and Jephthes, enjoyed a European reputation for academic excellence. His Pompae verses were written for performance at the court entertainments of Mary, including the Offering of the Rustic Gods sung during a masque devised by Bastian Pagez for the baptism of King James.******

Each Volume is complete with a half title and engraved title page. Early Thomas Carlyle book appearance, this was only his fourth work in book form. Carlyle greatly admired German writers and was instrumental in introducing them to the England through this, his 4 volume set of books. The four volumes are: Vol. I: Musaeus and Fouqué; Vol II: Tieck and Hoffman; Vol. III: Richter; and Vol. IV: Goethe (this 4 volume set is most renowned for this volume entirely on Goethe). All four Volumes were previously part of the CARLYLE COLLECTION of DR. SAMUEL A. JONES, with a decorative rubber stamp that states "CARLYLE COLLECTION
/ SAM'L A JONES" on the
front free endpaper of each volume, and a second such stamp on the front pastedown of the first volume. In addition, each volume is hand numbered according to its place in the collection.
The volumes are hand numbered 20, 21, 22 and 23, respectively. Dr. Samuel A. Jones was renowned collector of Thomas Carlyle.

CONDITION: Volume I has a disbound front cover and is missing its spine covering. The spine covering of Volume II is almost completely chipped away, the spine coverings of Volumes III and IV are chipped, rubbed and worn, with the spine lettering only partially legible.

The bookseller was Alfred Russell Smith (Soho, London). Internally, there is foxing, offsetting, some spotting and some shorelining, mainly to the first and last few pages of each Volume, otherwise the inner pages are pretty nice - complete, tight, bright, clean and unmarked. SCARCE FIRST EDITION SET OF THIS IMPORTANT THOMAS CARLYLE WORK with a WONDERFUL ASSOCIATION to one of the most notable COLLECTOR'S OF CARLYLE.

About George Sterling (from Wikipedia):
******George Sterling, b.1869 d.1926, was an American writer based in the San Francisco, California Bay Area and Carmel by the Sea. He was considered a prominent poet and playwright and proponent of Bohemianism during the first quarter of the twentieth century. His work was admired by writers as diverse as Jack London, Upton Sinclair, Theodore Dreiser, and Sinclair Lewis.
In 1905 Sterling moved to Carmel by the Sea, California, an undeveloped coastal area, and soon established a settlement for like minded Bohemian writers. Carmel had been discovered by Charles Warren Stoddard and others, but Sterling made it world famous.
Sterling joined the Bohemian Club and acted in their theatrical productions each summer at the Bohemian Grove. For the Grove play of 1907 the Club presented Sterling's "The Triumph of Bohemia".
Sterling carried a vial of cyanide for many years. In November 1926, Sterling used it while at his residence at the San Francisco Bohemian Club. Kevin Starr wrote that "When George Sterling's corpse was discovered in his room at the Bohemian Club... the golden age of San Francisco's bohemia had definitely come to a miserable end."******

1934 SWAMI VIVEKANANDA Rare Association Copy SIGNED By JOSEPHINE MacLEOD - INSPIRED TALKS, My Master and Other Writings.
Rare Association Copy Signed and Inscribed by JOSEPHINE MacLEOD the lifelong friend and devotee of Swami Vivekananda who acknowledged Josephine as one of the most important people in his life. There are books written about her, many of her letters have been institutionally collected, but right now I can not find another example of a book that she has signed and inscribed.
SIGNED and INSCRIBED on the front free end paper in black ink " To Harriet Paget / from / "Tantine" / J. MacLeod / April 30, 1942. "
MacLeod was known familiarly to Swami Vivekananda as Joe and as TANTINE in the Vedanta Movement.
INSPIRED TALKS, My Master and Other Writings by Swami Vivekananda. Published by Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Center…
INSPIRED TALKS, My Master and Other Writings by Swami Vivekananda. Published by Ramakrishna-Vivekananda Center of New York, Inc. 1934 first authorized pocket edition, textured red cloth covered flexible card covers with gilt printing on the front cover and spine, 6.25" x 4.15", marbled end-papers, top edge gilt, 301 pages, illustrated with a b&w frontispiece portrait of Swami Vivekananda, a few other photos. Page 299 in the Selected Letters section is printed a letter Swami Vivekananda wrote to Miss Josephine MacLeod. VERY GOOD Condition: some wear to the covers, mostly to the extremities, overall solid and bright, internally, there is a penned date on the title page, a few pages have light pencilled underlining, dedication page is un-cut, and some light wear from age and use, otherwise tight, bright and clean, and Josephine MacLeod's inscription is bold and bright. Scarce signed.
Josephine MacLeod (1858-1949) first heard Swami Vivekananda (1863-1902) speak at a lecture she attended with her sister Betty in New York in 1885. MacLeod was spellbound by his truth and was determined to follow him to India. She and her sister became Vivekananda's ardent supporters, her sister was married to Francis Leggett the millionaire head of a wholesale grocery firm, who became Vivekananda's legal adviser and the president of the Vedanta Society in New York. Josephine stayed with Swami longer than any of his Western followers. Long after his death, she remained - until her own death at the age of 90 at the Vedanta Hollywood Center - an unusually effective friend and international ambassador who raised funds, stimulated interest and perpetuated the influence of her dear friend and the Ramakrishna Vivekananda movement.
Swami Vivekananda (b. India 1863-1902) influential spiritual and religious leader, Hindu monk, philosopher, chief disciple of the Indian mystic Ramakrishna, key figure in popularizing the self improvement ethos of Vedanta and Yoga, founder in 1894 of the Vedanta Society of New York, and founder of the Ramakrishna Mission in India 1897.
About Josephine MacLeod (from Wikipedia):
"Josephine MacLeod (1858-1949) was an American friend and devotee of Swami Vivekananda. She had a strong attachment to India and was an active participant in the Ramakrishna Vivekananda movement. She was given the nicknames "Tantine" and "Jo Jo" by Vivekananda. She considered Swami Vivekananda to be her friend and helped him with his finances. MacLeod was not a sanyasin, unlike many others such as Sister Nivedita or Sister Christine. She was instrumental in spreading Vivekananda's message on Vedanta in the West. She made many contributions to the initial and the later phases of the development of the order of Ramakrishna and Vivekananda. She was a contributor to many causes espoused by Sister Nivedita, the most famous disciple of Vivekananda, including that of contributing financially towards the development of the Indian National Movement especially in Bengal and elsewhere in India.
MacLeod became a member of the Vedanta Society established by Vivekananda and pursued the study and practice of Vedanta. This interaction gave her a different perspective of living in "eternity". Vivekananda noted "I simply adore Joe (MacLeod) in her tact and quiet way. She is a feminine statesman or woman. She can wield a kingdom. I have seldom seen such ..."
1935 RUTH PITTER Poet MAD LADY'S GARLAND - SIGNED and INSCRIBED by JOHN HOLMES to JOHN CIARDI, a Presentation Copy

INSCRIBED, SIGNED and DATED by JOHN HOLMES, Poet and Tufts University Professor of Literature and Poetry, and PRESENTED to his then student JOHN CIARDI. "John Ciardi, HIS Book, / on and after Dec. 7, 1937 / from John Holmes". Clearly this was John Holmes' personal copy which he was gifting to John Ciardi.

Ruth Pitter must have a favorite poet of both of these male poets. Several of the poems have brief handwritten pencil notes and marks beside and on them, likely by either John Holmes or John Ciardi. FAIR condition, the covers are soiled, the spine is sunned / darkened and its lettering is no longer visible; internally there is glue remnant to the front free endpaper likely from the removal of a bookplate, light toning to the pages, otherwise tight, bright, clean and clear. A solid copy. An interesting intersection of John Holmes, John Ciardi, and Ruth Pitter, all in one place. About RUTH PITTER (from Wikipedia): ******Emma Thomas "Ruth" Pitter, CBE, FRSL, b.1897 d.1992, was a 20th century British poet. She was the first woman to receive the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry in 1955, and was appointed a CBE in 1979 to honour her many contributions to English literature. In 1974, she was named a "Companion of Literature", the highest honour given by the Royal Society of Literature. She was a good friend of C. S. Lewis, who admired her poetry. He often invited her critique of his poems. Pitter is considered by many Lewis scholars to have had an effect on his writing in the 1940s and 1950s. W. B. Yeats, Robin Skelton and Thom Gunn also appreciated Pitter's work and praised her poetry. Lord David Cecil once remarked that Pitter was one of the most original and moving poets then living. Despite some praise Pitter has been mostly overlooked. It is only in recent years that there has been a renewed interest in her work.****** About JOHN HOLMES (from Wikipedia): ******JOHN HOLMES, b.1904 d.1962, was a poet and critic. He was born in Somerville, Massachusetts, and both attended and taught at Tufts University where he was a professor of literature and modern poetry for 28 years. His students included Anne Sexton, Richard Wilbur, May Sarton, John Ciardi, Maxine Kumin, and many others. He wrote ten volumes of poetry, but it was his influence on a generation of poets that was his greatest contribution to poetry.****** About JOHN CIARDI (from Wikipedia): ******John Anthony Ciardi, b.1916 d.1986, was an American poet, translator, and etymologist. While primarily known as a poet, he also translated Dante's Divine Comedy, wrote several volumes of children's poetry, pursued etymology, contributed to the Saturday Review as a columnist and longtime poetry editor, and directed the Bread Loaf Writers' Conference in Vermont. In 1959, Ciardi published a book on how to read, write, and teach poetry, How Does a Poem Mean?, which has proven to be among the most used books of its kind.******

Paper Covers, bound with 2 brass brackets, 8.5x11", printed on one side only (rectos), pages numbered in three parts - 87, 74 and 32 pages (193 total pages). Cover has a typed title and author. The script does not have a printed date, but the written presentation on the cover is dated July 7, 1945, and clearly this is a draft that was written prior to Sally Benson being brought on as a co-writer, so early 1945 is most likely the date of this version of the film script. CONDITION: The covers are very worn, the edges have chips, tears and creases, the covers have some stiff creases and lighter creases from handling, nonetheless the covers are still doing their job well, and the typed titling and written presentation on the front cover are bright and fully legible. Internally, the title page has torn from its upper bracket, is coming loose, and has numerous creases; the next couple of pages have a few crease but are still sturdy and in place; all the pages are lightly toned / browned with age; otherwise the pages are just lightly used and still complete, bright, clean and unmarked. A VERY RARE EARLY DRAFT of ANNA AND THE KING OF SIAM with the GREAT ASSOCIATION to HERBERT RYMAN.

VeloBound in Yellow Paper Covers, plain white copy-machine printed papers, 8.5" x 11", pages numbered in numerous sections (the draft was being put together into a complete work), approximately 250 total pages. SIGNED, INSCRIBED and DATED on the Front Cover: "Gift from Harold Morowitz / at night of recording / at Bottom Line N.Y.C. / 5-23-91". Though not named in the inscription, this Draft was inscribed by Morowitz to the Poet MICHAEL McClURE. McClure was a longtime admirer of Morowitz's work, and Morowitz was an amateur poet and admirer of McClure's poetry. They corresponded frequently, especially during the early 1990s (refer to the Morowitz archives, held at George Mason University). Apparently this DRAFT of one of Harold Morowitz's most important works, was Inscribed to Michael McClure during a recording of some sort that they did together at the Bottom Line Nightclub in New York City on May 23, 1991. I cannot find information about the recording of this performance, perhaps it was never released. However, it is well reported that Michael McClure held numerous performances at the Bottom Line, often in concert with others (e.g. with Ray Manzarek - keyboardist of THE DOORS), so it is not unlikely that he did a performance in conjunction with Harold Morowitz. When McClure was in New York City he stayed at the Chelsea Hotel, a favorite of Beat Poets. "Chelsea Hotel" is handwritten at the bottom of the front cover, perhaps written by Morowitz as a delivery address for McClure. Written in pencil in another hand is "McClure's copy", also on the front cover. VERY GOOD condition: There is some rubbing and scraping to the bottom margin of the front cover, a small area is inked out prior to "Chelsea Hotel" on the front cover (perhaps the beginning of an actual street address?), the front cover has some corner creases and light edge wear; otherwise tight, bright, clean and unmarked. A SCARCE DRAFT COPY of an IMPORTANT WORK by a great BIOPHYSICIST - SIGNED and INSCRIBED IN 1991 to a great POET. (The final BOUND BOOK was published by Yale University in 1992, with the title repositioned as: "BEGINNINGS OF CELLULAR LIFE - Metabolism Recapitulates Biogenesis").

LIVRE DE PRIÈRES - Illustré à l'aide des Ornements Des Manuscrits du Moyen Age / classés dans l'ordre chronologique et selon les styles divers qui se sont succédé depuis le huitième siècle jusqu'au seizième.
(BOOK OF PRAYERS / BOOK OF HOURS - Illustrated with Ornamentations from Manuscripts of the Middle Ages...)
By Bernard Charles Mathieu and Ferdinand Denis.
Published by Charles Mathieu and Printed by Chez J. Renouard, PARIS, 1858 and 1862.
Two Volumes, full calf leather, front and rear covers blind stamped, spine titled in gilt, five raised spine bands, all edges gauffered and gilt, dentelles in blind with corner fleurons, marbled endpapers, 5x7 inches (13x18 cm). Pagination: 149, [13]; 250 pp. Text in French.
Volume I illustrated…
Volume I illustrated throughout with gorgeous chromolithographs. Volume II a text volume with b&w ornamental framing.
A beautiful prayer book.
Volume I, the most important of the two volumes and published two years prior to Volume II, is exquisitely embellished throughout with chromolithograph borders and plates depicting medieval manuscripts. Preliminary pages of this volume give details of the border ornamentations:. Byzantine for the Morning Prayers, Carolingian for the Evening Prayers, etc. Each section of prayers has a chromolithograph frontispiece. At the end there is also The Mass for Marriage. The lithography is by Charles Mathieu. Simply GORGEOUS.
Volume II contains a history of European decorative manuscript painting from antiquity through the Gothic period. The text is written by Ferdinand Denis.
Provenance: A great association copy. Both volumes have the bookplate of ROBERT ORMES DOUGAN, b.1904 d.1999, on the front pastedown. His signature is also on the blank verso of the front free endpaper of Volume I. Dougan was the director of the Dublin Library and later Chief Librarian of the Huntington Library. He was renowned for his knowlege of The Book of Kells. He donated many books and medieval manuscripts to Occidental College, as well as to other universities. Tipped in OVER the Dougan bookplates is an Occidental College bookplate which has a "Released" notice printed at its bottom. The OC bookplate can be lifted up to fully reveal Dougan's bookplate below. Obituaries that detail Dougan's life can easily found online at The Guardian, The Independent, and L.A. Times websites.
Condition: The covers of both volumes have some rubbing and there are nicks to the leather along the spine folds, but they remain solid and lovely. Internally, Volume I has some foxing and toning throughout, heaviest to the early and later pages, otherwise both volumes are tight, bright clean and unmarked.
Volume I, with its gorgeous chromolithograph plates and ornamental borders, has become almost impossible to find.
MARK TWAIN DAY-BY-DAY Volumes I & II **SIGNED & INSCRIBED to HAL HOLBROOK who PERFORMED AS MARK TWAIN for 60 YEARS**
David H. Fears
MARK TWAIN DAY BY DAY - Volume I and Volume II, covering the years 1835-1885 and 1886-1896.
Each Volume is SIGNED and INSCRIBED on a blank prelim by the AUTHOR to HAL HOLBROOK, as follows:
Vol. I: "To Hal Holbrook / with appreciation for his performances / David H. Fears / Sept. 24, 2009".
Vol II: "To Hal Holbrook / with appreciation of his style / David H. Fears / Sept. 24, 2009".
Two volumes of four volumes, the final two being published in later years.
Hardcover books, no dustjackets as issued, cloth covered boards, front covers titled in gilt, spines titled in black, 8x11 inches, thick and heavy volumes, 1150 and 1281 pages respectively.
This work is…
This work is considered to be the most comprehensive chronological examination of the life of Mark Twain (Samuel Langhorne Clemens). It is incredible in its minutiae, and the research is exhaustive.
Published by Horizon Micro Publishing, LLC, Banks, Oregon. Volume I is a second printing, published in 2009; Volume II is a first printing, also published in 2009. Both volumes were printed in a very limited number, and each volume has a small handwritten number in the upper corner of the rear pastdown. Vol. I is #103, and Vol. II is #75. The publisher is actually a dba of the author.
I spoke to the author, David Frears, in May 2022. He was 79 and had recently undergone 5-way heart bypass surgery. He sounded good. I asked him about the volumes which he signed to Hal Holbrook. He said he presented these two volumes to Holbrook personally, and subsequently he and Holbrook corresponded for awhile. He treasured the handwritten letters he received from Holbrook. Fears said that in 2009 when he presented these two volumes to Hal Holbrook they were the only two he had written, that's why there are only two. He was working on Volume III at the time and wasn't even aware he would write a Volume IV. Frears also told me that the volumes were printed in a very limited number, about 100-125 copies each, and that he numbered them. He added that most of the volumes were sold before they were printed, primarily to Universities and Twain scholars. He said he didn't print many copies because he didn't want to end up with extras of these heavy books, that he was too old for that. He said I was very lucky to have the Holbrook copies.
CONDITION: Both volumes are in VERY GOOD condition, the cover corners are lightly bumped, there is some soiling to the page edges (page edges of the closed book), and there are light signs of handling and use; overall the volumes are tight, bright, clean, clear and unmarked. Solid, nice, very presentable copies.
RARE, especially with the presentation to HAL HOLBROOK
About HAL HOLBROOK (from Wikipedia):
******Harold Rowe Holbrook Jr., b.1925 d.2021, was an American actor, television director, and screenwriter. He first received critical acclaim in 1954 for a one man stage show he developed, Mark Twain Tonight!, performing as Mark Twain. He won the Tony Award for "Best Actor in a Play" in 1966 for his portrayal of Twain. He would continue to perform his signature role for over 60 years, only retiring the show in 2017 due to his failing health. Throughout his career, he also won five Primetime Emmy Awards for his work on television and was nominated for an Academy Award for his work in film. It is estimated that there were over 2,100 performances of Mark Twain Tonight! Holbrook portrayed Mark Twain for longer than Samuel Clemens did.******

"Ariel is a unique book - it scarcely seems a book at all, rather a keen, cold gust of reality as though somebody had knocked out a window pane on a brilliant night. It is a plangent, painful book, with all the pain translated into beauty, nothing less. Poem after poem seems to have been waiting there always to be recognized." - Robert Penn Warren, from his tribute on the front dj flap.

Are you anticipating troubled roads ahead?
Considering the amount of energy, emotions, and financial investment that goes into building a marriage, it is understandable why a divorce can be friendly or not so much. Given the increase in marital breakdown in society, you probably know couples who have been affected by a bad divorce, and hopefully yours won't be one of them.
My name is Keri A. Markiewicz, and as a Virginia Beach divorce attorney with over 20 years of experience, I am aware of what you stand to lose in a divorce and how even friendly divorces have a way of taking a turn for the worse. If you are worried about your rights to your children or property, I will protect your best interests and navigate you through the troubled waters of divorce, every step of the way.
I will explain your rights and responsibilities under the law.
My goal is to protect what matters most to you.
I strive to help clients achieve their short and long-term goals.
Regardless if a couple has been married for five years or twenty, dissolving a marriage is a complicated process which involves property division, debt division, and other financial matters that can raise complicated legal problems, especially when there are children involved.
While few divorces are free of disagreements, the majority of couples are able to come to a voluntary settlement agreement on matters pertaining to property and debt division, alimony, child support, and child custody, with the help of their respective attorney and without interference from the court. These divorces are considered "uncontested divorces," they move through the courts faster and they are less expensive than a contested divorce.
Unfortunately, emotional tensions can make it difficult, if not impossible for the divorcing parties to reach a voluntary settlement agreement – this would be classified as a "contested" divorce. Ideally and in an effort to save you time and money, I would be able to negotiate a settlement agreement with your spouse and his or her attorney. But, if all efforts at diplomacy fail and we cannot reach a fair agreement, then the next step will be to have your case heard before the judge of the Circuit Court.
As a family law attorney equipped with specialized knowledge of adversarial divorce proceedings, I can help you be aware of your rights and obligations under this complex field of family law.

LEGAL AID APPLICATION
Claims under Passing-off
This chapter includes:
Introduction to Passing Off
Trade Marks and Passing off
Passing off requirements
Goodwill and damage to goodwill
Common Field of Activity
Law on Passing off protects traders against misrepresentations, made by other traders that confuse customers as to the source of goods or services. It involves a practice where one trader gives consumer the impression that his goods are those of another trader or his goods are of the same quality as those of another trader.
Alan is selling counterfeit goods he can be held liable under passing off as he is misrepresenting customers about the source and quality of goods and he is also causing a damage to the reputation of the original trader.
Trade Mark Act 1994 provides a significant security to registered marks and provides traders with an opportunity to protect their brand names and brand identifiers such as logos, packaging details and slogans. However, under the strict requirements for registration of a trademark, if a trader is unable to register a trademark for any reason, he can invoke the protection of his trade name or get-up under passing off. Passing-off often overlaps with copyrights and trademark rights.
In order to have a valid claim a person has to prove that there was
A Misrepresentation on the behalf of the defendant
Claimant has a Goodwill
There is Damage to claimant's goodwill
Misrepresentation is aimed to confuse the consumer. The essence of passing-off is misrepresentation either, express or implied. A misrepresentation is "an unambiguous but false statement of facts which induces the other party into a contract".
A misrepresentation must be material, in that it deceives or is likely to deceive and that the claimant is likely to suffer damages by such deception. For an actionable misrepresentation, it is sufficient if it indicates an association between the business of claimant and defendant.
Alan is operating a corner store with the name of Sainsbury. He has no authorization or franchise or any other arrangement which allows him to use the name, Allan is committing a misrepresentation and will be held responsible under the law of passing off.
Mr Singh is operating a corner shop under the name of Singbury's, which indicates an association between Singbury's and Sainsbury's. It will be held sufficient to have a claim under passing off.
The essence of passing-off is in deception which misleads customers and harms claimant's goodwill as the ultimate consumers are taken in by that misrepresentation. However, without a misrepresentation, there is no action, even if customers are confused and even if goodwill is damaged. The claimant must have a goodwill in the business. If there is no goodwill any misrepresentation is not effective as it does not affect or cause damage to the claimant.
A claimant has to prove distinctiveness of his sign, merely copying the name or style of another trader can be copyright infringement but may not be an actionable misrepresentation. Descriptive words including geographical names which are devoid of distinctiveness may not acquire the goodwill as they are difficult to prove that there is the likelihood of confusion in the mind of buying public.
Alan has copied the logo of SKY TV for his corner shop Sky groceries. Sky trading name is a distinctive name and Allan may be held liable in passing off
Misrepresentation has to be in the common field of activity between a claimant and defendant. In the absence of common field of activity, any misrepresentation is deemed irrelevant and there can be no damage to the claimant's goodwill because public will not make a connection between traders and their different field of activity.
Alan is trading as Sky Groceries a local corner shop. Sky trading name is a distinctive name, however, for SKY to bring a case under passing off, it has to prove that SKY Ltd and Alan's Sky groceries are in the same field of activity as the mere distinctiveness of Sky name will not be sufficient.
Reason: As it does not create any confusion in the mind of the public. Public knows that Sky Tv is not operating the local corner shop run by Alan
Alan is running a local corner shop as Sainsbury's without their permission. As there is a common field of activity (Both sell groceries), Alan may be held liable under passing off.
The Development of the Internet has given rise to "Cybersquatting". Cyberpirates have tried to register the names of famous companies as domain names in the hope to sell it to the goodwill holder. The basic test of passing off is applied nonetheless to issues about the internet. It was noted in Marks & Spencer plc v One in Million that any person who entered "markmsandspencer" in an internet register to find the identity of the owner would obtain the details of one in million instead of Marks & Spencer, which was held an actionable misrepresentation based on deceit. Courts through passing off and Trademark Act have counteracted the issue of cybersquatting efficiently.
Alan managed to register a domain name Sainsbury.co.uk and has the intention to sell it to Sainsbury's. Alan will be held liable for passing off and will not be allowed to use the domain name.

Have you ever tasted coffee that has lost its freshness? If you have, you already know the importance of keeping your favorite blend in a well closed jar that would completely preserve the fresh aroma and the strong flavor.
Of course, a "closed jar" may not be enough to keep things fresh. If you don't have a special coffee container or canister that has a vacuum-sealed enclosure, it would be very hard to keep the coffee fresh if you put it in a regular jar or simply keep it in the bag.
That's when the oxygen gets at the coffee grinds and takes away their freshness, and it can happen in a matter of hours!
Friis Coffee Vault – Best Airtight Coffee Canister Of 2016?
Investing in something that will keep your coffee fresh, while keeping your kitchen clean and adding a touch of fancy is a good idea, right?
We personally find coffee containers to be extremely important, especially if you're concerned about your coffee's freshness. What's the point of having an expensive type of coffee or espresso if it doesn't taste good or if it lost its freshness in no time?
Plus, these elegant looking stainless steel containers are quite affordable, their prices never go higher than ten to twenty dollars, and that is pretty low for something that will serve you for a long, long time.
There are several things, pros if you will, that make the Friis Coffee 16-Ounce Coffee Vault container very special.
We have been testing it rigorously and it and we can tell you it is as good as many customers have said it is in their reviews. By testing we basically just mean drinking a lot of coffee, and then storing the grinds in here. But that's where things get technical, because you have to use your taste buds to detect the difference between fresh grinds and grinds in various degrees of staleness.
Friis Coffee Vault Storage Canister has a good reason to be one of the best coffee canisters on the market, we believe.
Designed to last and to keep your coffee fresh and aromatic, this container features a BPA-free polymer lid that creates an airtight seal. The coffee aroma and nuanced flavors will remain trapped in the canister, till the next time you decide to open it. Basically your grinds will be kept fresh as long as they're in there.
Remember, getting a coffee canister without a polymer lid is not worth the money, so always look out for that feature. This little, but extremely important part keeps the coffee beans fresh and allows them to retain their flavor.
The Friis coffee canister is one that will keep the air out one hundred percent, thanks to the lid that has an air-tight lid freshness-sapping gases will be kept away from the all-important coffee bean supply.
The patented Freshness Valve is the key to eliminating trapped carbon gas once the beans are in the vault, and start producing the CO2 themselves. It is recommended to change the Freshness Valve every two months.
The Freshness Valve is constructed with a unique filter that lets carbon dioxide gas to pass through without allowing oxygen or other gases back in.
Make sure you keep the polymer lid clean and free of coffee beans or coffee grains. It is very important that nothing sticks between the polymer rubber and the lid because it will have troubles closing well and that is a sure way to destroy all the freshness we've worked so hard for.
Friis thought of everything and also designed a helpful date wheel that will help remind you to change it. It is placed under the lid of your Friis coffee vault.
The rotating wheel will help you set a monthly reminder to replace your valve on the right date.
Place your thumb and any other finger, moving the date wheel to expose a numbered and once the date is set, it will automatically remind you to replace your valve on the exact date. Pretty cool, right?
The stainless steel base of the Friis Coffee Vault container will stay good as new for many years. Constantly opening and closing it, touching it with your hands (wet or dry) will not leave any marks on it, the color will not wear off and certainly the closure mechanism is build to endure everyday use. The inside of the canister is also made of stainless steel.
Whether you'd decide to get the 16 oz or the 12 oz container (depending on your preference) you can be always sure that Friis will keep the full flavor of your coffee.
The canister's dimensions are 5.5 x 5.5 x 8.2 inches and when empty it weights only 1.2 pounds. It also comes in three colors: black, red, and silver (stainless steel).
Besides the Friis Coffee Vault, there is more than that included with the package and that's always fun to get extras, especially when they're useful.
There is a measuring spoon included; this is the perfect measurement for scooping your morning coffee.
Friis have also included an instruction guide and the Art of Flavor booklet that will help you get the maximum use from your coffee.
Here you can read a lot of interesting coffee facts and ways to prepare your coffee.
For instance, in the Art of flavor, you can read a lot about roasting your coffee beans. It is well described, in regards to which temperature is the best, how to brew your coffee at home, and how to get the maximum of the coffee flavor.
Friis designed this canister not to be just extremely practical, but also modern and sleek. As we said, it comes in three different colors – silver, black and red.
Our personal favorite is the elegant black, but that's just us. To summarize the Friis Coffee Vault is the key to rich, full-flavored coffee; it is practical and easily transportable and now you can get it for a great price on Amazon. Yes, it just might be the best airtight coffee vault you'll find out there!

Malaysians Express Frustration Towards The "Going Out For Drink" Culture Practiced In The Public Sector
Social NewsMalaysians Express Frustration Towards The "Going Out For Drink" Culture Practiced In...
For those who had experience in dealing with the public sector, you may have already notice that the pace in their office is slow, and you may need to send them a few reminders before the documents are being processed.
Recently, a Twitter user @TerritorySM has responded to a tweet by another netizen @mazs5151 who pointed out the "going out for drink" culture practiced by the civil servants.
Despite the tweet being shared in 2019, it appears that the culture is still around and is deeply rooted into the public sector.
Source: TodayOnline
In the tweet, netizen @mazs5151 said that she need help from a civil servant at the office, but the staff had went out for their "morning coffee".
She then condemn this practice and said that it is already the working hour and if the staff wanted to have breakfast, they should have it in their pantry instead of going out.
Biasa la tu, cerita dia mcm ni
08:00 : punch in
08:15 : keluar breakfast
10:00 : masuk office buat² kalut
12:30 : keluar rehat
04:00 : ready untuk punch out
05:00 : Sampai rumah dengan muka penat
Ini semua musibat tuan² dan puan² pic.twitter.com/3xkos1vu07
— ◄- انصار الل ϟΔFiΣ'™ (@TerritorySM) November 20, 2021
In response, netizen @TerritorySM agreed that it is common for this to happen in Malaysia and he gave an example of the time spent by civil servants in a day, which implied that most of the time were being spent on slacking.
The tweet went viral on Twitter with many netizens agreeing on the fact that they find civil servants spent most of their time slacking, instead of actually working.
A netizen said that the situation is worse during Fridays when they went on Friday prayers and only go back to work at 2.45 p.m., then the remaining of their time to chit chat until they clock-out at 4 p.m.
"True story, I went to meet a DBKL staff and his colleague sitting next to him gave me all sorts of excuses for him not being at work. One day, his colleague said he is at a site visit near Kepong. I then leave for breakfast nearby, but I run into him, who is sitting just beside me. He's seriously slacking." another netizen commented.
"When I'm doing my intern at a Government-linked company, this is their exactly their culture. During working hours, they will relax and walk to the nearby cafe. Their boss will join them too. After I finish my studies and got a job at a private company. At 8 a.m. sharp, nobody dares to walk out to have breakfast. All were sitting in front of their PC. It was strict and we need to thumbprint too." another said.
However, it is only fair to say that there are still some civil servants who are dedicated to work and do not behave as such.

Scalping your lawn to reduce the number of times you have to mow is a mistake. It damages your grass and soil, encourages weed growth, damages the environment and you'll still have to mow just as frequently. Mowing your grass a little higher is a smart way to conserve energy and resources and keep your grass healthy and vibrant throughout the summer. So how high you cut your grass can determine the health and look of your lawn.
There are several popular types of grass that make up most lawns. The Northern grasses are bluegrass, fescue and rye which grow quite high. The Southern grasses are Bermuda and zoysia which spread as runners. Northern grasses should typically be cut to a height of about 3 inches, while Southern grasses should be cut to about 2 inches. Never remove more than about a third of the length of the grass at once as this stresses the plant.
The 2-3 inches concept is a guideline, not a rule. If you have very hot, dry summers (as is common in many places) it may be smarter to keep your grass at 4 inches high through the summer. Keeping your grass taller will help cool and shade the soil and hold moisture in. This will help your grass stay alive and green through the summer while keeping your yard cool and inviting.
Slightly taller, healthy grass resists weed growth and needs less mowing and less water. You may also wish to replace some areas of lawn with drought resistant plants and/or ornamental grasses. These are all smart ways to conserve energy and resources and create an attractive, healthy lawn and landscape.
