[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. His use of colorful slang like "twitted" and phrases like "ticklish upon that…

[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…

Longfellow, Henry Wadsworth. THE GOLDEN LEGEND. Boston: Ticknor, Reed & Fields, 1851. First edition, first printing. Original brown cloth, gilt. Simply inscribed in Longfellow's distinctive hand, on the flyleaf in ink: "From the Author." Spine ends chipped, faint damp marks on end papers, else a tight crisp copy. Longfellow sometimes inscribed copies in this fashion when leaving them with the publisher for mailing. This long narrative poem is based on Hartmann von der Aue's treatment of a psycho-sexual German medieval romance. It is not based on the famous "lives of the saints" of the same name, as often claimed.…

This is the commencement program for Lowell's graduating class, listing his poem as fourth of the five items on the program, but with an interesting footnote printed at the foot of the program: "On account of the absence of the Poet the Poem will be omitted." Lowell had broken some rule in chapel (not wearing a necktie was a serious infraction, for example, although Lowell's transgression is…
