Amsterdam. 1699 (& 1696!), 2 vols, 61/4 x 4". Ptd by Pierre Brunel. Exquisite copperplt line engravings that depict in great detail late 17th C. Western European dress.

Recent 1/2 cl. & earlier marbled bds. One leaf of Vol. I missing fee margin & torn beneath illus. One other leaf w/a 11/2" tear. Vol. II incls four full-p. illus. while the balance as in Vol. I are 12/ p. Because of positioning non uniformity, a few engravings are closely shaved on free margin. One plt is inverted.

Griggs, Sutton E. (Black Americans) THE HINDERED HAND: OR, THE REIGN OF THE REPRESSIONIST.
Nashville, TN, 1905, 333(5)pp. Black author, self publ. Phil McBlain noted Griggs "The present ed. of 'The Hindered Hand' differs from previous eds in that a review of Mr. Thomas Dixon's 'Leopard Spots' appears in former eds in the form of a conversation between two of the characters of the book, whereas in the present ed. the review is more fully given in an article appearing in the rear of this book after the closing of the story..." Griggs summarized Dixon in a powerful negative, rather like Martin Luther's indictment of Erasmuas. This is largely v.g. copy, the only defects being 1/32" wear at bkstrp ends & mild to average loss of the white clay-based ink border. Together w/Arno paperback of Griggs' Imperium In Imperio (valuable essay on Griggs).
