Adams, John Quincy. Ink press copy of autograph letter, signed.
[London, circa 1815.] Nine lines of text on 1 leaf unsized tissue stock, 21 x 1 cm. The original letter was apparently addressed to an arctic voyager: "I congratulate you upon your arrival from the North Pole to the temperate zone, where I hope you will find the magnate equally and still more powerfully attractive to the needle of American commerce." Autograph letter of John Quincy Adams (1767-1848), composed in London, probably in 1816 or 1817. The note is a copy produced on a "letter copying press," an early method of mechanical reproduction invented by James Watt in the 1780s. The letter copying press became quite popular in America. George Washington, James Madison, and Thomas Jefferson were all enthusiastic practitioners, and Benjamin Franklin boasted that he could get three good copies out of it instead of the usual one. The method involved laying a dampened piece of unsized tissue over a fresh document written out in a prescribed ink, and sandwiching the two sheets into a table-top press. The ink adheres to the tissue, producing a readable copy. Letter press copies were early on considered legal representation of original documents. See Barbara Rhodes, "Before Photocopying: the art and history of mechanical copying, 1780-1938" (New Castle: Oak Knoll, 1999). In 1815, Adams was in Europe to negotiate commerce and navigation treaties with England, France and Russia.

Hazen, Moses. Autograph letter, signed.
New York, March 25, 1784, addressed to Colonel Timothy Bidle. 1 page 4to (23 cm); with integral address leaf. Usual folds, spots. Address leaf discolored. Seal tear repaired. Revolutionary War Brigadier General Moses Hazen (1733-1803) settled in New Hampshire after the war. Here he writes to his comrade, a Colonel Biddle, to meet him on Lake Champlain at the Bay of Micorne with four horses, saddles and a guide on the 20th of May. He also alludes to a trial he would like to avoid. After the war Hazen fought to get land grants for his men. Although congress failed to take action, the state of New York created the Canadian and Nova Scotia Refugee Tract along Lake Champlain. The trial alluded to in the letter no doubt refers to a subsequent land dispute.

Lechmere, Nicholas, Baron. Manuscript document, signed by Lechmere as Royal Attorney General under George I.
[London] March 3, 1715, addressed to Mr. Grigsby, Accomptant to the South Sea Company. 185 x 155 mm; 6 lines including salutations and signature. Usual folds; puncture not affecting text. Payment of South Sea Company dividends by Lord Lechmere (1675-1727), Attorney General under George I. This is a document of the speculation mania that ruined many British investors in 1720. The bubble, or hoax, centered on the fortunes of the South Sea Company, founded in 1711 to trade (mainly in slaves) with Spanish America. In 1720 there was an incredible boom in South Sea stock. Shares rose dramatically, from 128 1/2 in January 1720 to more than 1,000 in August. Those unable to buy South Sea stock were inveigled by overly optimistic company promoters or downright swindlers into unwise investments. By September the market had collapsed, and by December South Sea shares were down to 124, dragging other, including government, stock with them. Many investors were ruined, and the House of Commons ordered an inquiry, which showed that at least three ministers had accepted bribes and speculated. (Encyclopedia Britannica).

Alciphron. [Translated by William Beloe and Thomas Munro.]. Alciphron's Epistles; in which are described the domestic manners, the courtesans, and parasites of Greece, now first translated from the Greek.
London Printed for G.G.J. and J. Robinson, etc. 1791 8vo (22 cm); [4], 270 pages. Bound in recent cloth. First appearance in English of the lively letters of Alciphron, the second-century Greek satirist. He presents the letters as if they were written by sailors, peasants, parasites and prostitutes, giving a vivid picture of popular culture in Athens. The letters from the prostitutes are especially interesting, not only for the clues they provide about the role of women in society, but for plots lifted from lost examples of New Attic Comedy (especially Menander).

15th edition. London Printed for T. Longman, B. Law, G.G. and J. Robinson, R. Baldwin, F. And C. Rivington, G. and T. Wilkie, and J. Scatcherd 1797 8vo (22 cm); x, [11]-280 pages.

Prize bookplate of the Glasgow Grammar School, signed by James Gibson. Binding somewhat worn, especially at extremities; joints tender, with front joint starting to crack. Young William Lockhart won this copy of Cornelius Nepos as a prize for coming in second in his beginning Latin class in 1796. This was no small feat in a field of 84 contenders. Still, we might suspect a hint of, uh, nepotism in the future laird's victory. Lockhart's father's second wife was the Latin teacher's niece! Good school text with interesting association.

Grazzini, Anton Francesco ("Il Lasca"). La prima e la seconda cena, novelle di Antonfrancesco Grazzini detto Il Lasca, alle quali si aggiunge una novella della terza cena, che unitamente colla prima ora per la prima volta si dà alla luce.
London [i.e., Paris] G. Nourse [i.e. Jean-Claude Molini] 1756 8vo (18 cm); xxxii, 412, [10] pages. Typographic ornaments. Bound in full contemporary vellum with leather label on spine. Edges dyed red. Mildly soiled, with scattered light foxing. Sound and entire. Reference: Gamba, 538. First printing of most of the contents of this 16th-century Florentine frame tale (part II appeared separately some 12 years earlier). Anton Francesco Grazzini (1503-84), known in the Florentine academies as "Il Lasca," was a founder of the Accademia della Crusca and the guiding spirit of "serious" comedy and satire in 16th-century Florence. He edited a famous collection of Italian comic verse, "Canti carnascialeschi," and acquired fame in his lifetime for his own contributions to the genre. Meanwhile, he composed an extended set of prose "novelle," set in a Boccaccio-esque framework of ten youths telling stories on three dinner occasions during Carnevale in the 1540s. Publication was suppressed, probably not because of the racy contents so much as the populist, anti-authoritarian strain evident throughout. A counterfeit edition appeared almost immediately after this one, but our copy bears all the points of the original edition.
