  Patchen, Kenneth. LOVE POEMS OF KENNETH PATCHEN
(San Francisco: City Lights Books, 1960) First edition. Small 8vo, original printed wrappers. 48. A touch of soiling to the wrappers, but still a very good copy. Dedicated to his wife, Miriam, these love poems of Kenneth Patchen written over the course of three decades are among the most beautiful and moving celebrations of manŐs love for woman in any language. In addition to being a highly regarded poet Patchen was also a noted painter and many of his spoken word recordings of his poems, often accompanied with jazz music, are still in issue to this day. This collection, due to its fragile nature and budget printing process is understandably hard to come by in collectable condition.

  [Junius], . JUNIUS. STAT NOMINIS UMBRA
(London: Printed by T. Bensley, 1805) 2 volumes. A new edition of the revised version of the "Letters," with a dedication to the English people and a preface. With engraved portrait illustrations throughout, and with two frontispiece illustrations for each volume. 8vo, in a fine contemporary binding of full calf, the covers with gilt ruled borders enclosing a wide frame of blind rolled tools. The spine features gilt lettering in two panels, the remaining three with an unusual circular floral decoration done in gilt, pointille, and blind tooling. xxxi, 252; iii, 284. A very fine set in a very striking contemporary binding. The "letters of Junius" were originally contributed to the London "Public Advertiser" from the 21st of January 1769 to the 21st of January 1772 and were intended to discredit the ministry of the duke of Grafton (although their political content is of little interest now, and indeed had little effect in their time). Their interest lies in their style and the controversy regarding their authorship. In the former they imitate Swift, Bolingbroke, and Tacitus, and use those influences to perfect the popular practice of using personal abuse in political controversy. The Encyclopedia Britannica states it succinctly: "The white heat of his malignity animates the whole." The authorship mystery kept people guessing for two generations, and discussions had hardly ceased by 1910. Jospeh Parkes, the author with Herman Merivale of MEMOIRS OF SIR PHILIP FRANCIS (1867), gives a list of over forty persons who had been supposed to be Junius, among them Edmund Burke, Edward Gibbon, Horace Walpole, and Charles Lee, a general in the American Revolution. Opinion has since laid responsibility solidly upon Sir Philip Francis, miscellaneous writer and sometime dean of Lismore.

  [Junius], . JUNIUS. STAT NOMINIS UMBRA
(London: Printed by T. Bensley, 1797) 2 volumes. A revised edition of the "Letters," with a dedication to the English people and a preface. With engraved portrait illustrations throughout. 8vo, contemporary mottled calf with gilt decorated and panelled spine with black lettering pieces. xl, 325; viii, 366. A very fine set. The engraved title-pages show some mild staining, but since it does not extend to any other leaves we are guessing that it occured before the title-pages were bound in.

All in all, a nice copy, and very scarce in original boards. NUC records only 4 copies.

(New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1938) First American edition. 8vo, original blue cloth in the dustjacket. viii, 290. The jacket is chipped along an edge or two, otherwise a very good copy. Stephen Wilbeck leads a carefree life. Flitting between Paris and London, New York and Torqustol, he has plenty of time to enjoy the finer things of life, and to observe the people that pass him by. His only tie is to the lovely Dolores - a woman that occupies more of his thoughts that he would care to admit. But Stephen's stubbornness is to take him on the well-trodden path of loneliness and solitude. This work is often compared to the later published LOLITA.

  Wells, H. G. SECRET PLACES OF THE HEART
(London: Cassell and Company, 1922) First edition. 8vo, original blue-green cloth gilt lettered. 311. A very good copy with just a bit of dulling to the spine. Although best remembered now for his science fiction, WellsŐ novels of English life and culture where very popular in his own day. In SECRET PLACES OF THE HEART a man on the verge of a nervous breakdown goes on a vacation with his psycharitrist and on the way he rediscovers his zest for life with the help of a young woman. Wells passed through a period from about 1922 to 1925, in which he wrote several novels on the subject of mental illness. This is the first of them and its insights into the human condition are remarkable. So too, is its treatment of personalites and romantic relationships. Those who contend that Wells was incapable of realistic character development simply haven't read this book.

(New York: Harcourt, Brace and Company, 1948) First edition other then a limited printing of 1000 copies. 8vo, publisherŐs original blue cloth lettered in gilt. A fine copy. This poetic novel traces the history of one American family from its 17th century English origins to World War II as it develops and builds on the theme of the ŇAmerican DreamÓ. Sandburg was a multi-Pulitzer prize winning author, poet, historian, journalist and biographer whoŐs understanding of the common man, his simple yet powerful utterances and view of an American way of life as being a free, untrammeled and democratic promised existence, made his poetry stand out in the 20th century as Walt WhitmanŐs had in the 19th.

Bertrand briefly visited the Diamond Fields at Kimberley, and the party arrived at the Zambesi "about the end of June, and calling on Mr. and Mrs. Louis Jalla, the missionaries at Kazungula, were hospitably received, obtaining the welcome information that King Lewanika had granted them permission to visit Barotseland. On August 1st Mr. Bertrand started on a journey with the object of visiting King Lewanika, and the missionary, Mr. Coillard, who resided at Lealuyi. After seventeen days of travelling the author arrived, and was hospitably received by the King, who presented him with some articles of native manufacture. He was shown over the missionary station by the veteran minister, who had met with great success in the country...After some stay in Barotseland the author returned to Kazungula and visited the Victoria Falls, leaving soon after for Bulawayo, where it was arranged the expedition should break up. There is an interesting account of Bulawayo and the Chartered Company's territories at this date" (Mendelssohn, pp. 120-21).
