Description:
[FREEDOM OF THE PRESS] L'Estrange, Roger. THE OBSERVATOR [Number 434]. London: Printed for Joanna Brome at the Gun in S. Pauls Churchyard, Thursday, November 8, 1683. First edition. Broadsheet, uncut, as issued. Minor aging and nicks, but a fine copy. In this issue L'Estrange uses his usual slangy dialogue format, cluttered with gothic and italic and all cap type fonts for emphasis, and peppered with apostrophes commas to replicate the tone of a lively conversation, to debate the freedom of the press under Queen Elizabeth.

[TWAIN, MARK] [Clemens, S. L.] Lewis, Sam, and Joe Young and Cliff Hess. HUCKLEBERRY FINN. New York: Waterson, Berlin & Snyder Co. [1917] First edition. Sheet music. Original pictorial color wrappers. Fine copy, never bound. This issue has an ad for Jack Wells' `Buzzin the Bee' (1916) on rear cover; we have also noted copies with ads for two different Irving Berlin songs. The cover illustration by `Barbelle' echoes the original Kemble drawings of Huck, but makes him look ignorant, a quality that Twain objected to in Kemble's earliest drawings. The genesis of this sheet music is obscure; it does not seem to be… Read More

BAL records this book with a title-page dated 1896 and an address at 33-45 Gold Street, and gives that imprint priority for some reason. BAL… Read More
