volumes. Small octavo, early 20th-century full red morocco gilt. $18,000.

with 65 engravings, four in color, by Leech, Maclise, Stanfield, Doyle, and Landseer,
all books with original cloth covers and spines bound in. A handsome set, bound by
Zaehensdorf. “It was a work written at the height of Dickens’ great powers, which would
add to his considerable fame, bring a new work to the English language, increase the
festivities at Christmastime, and contain his most eloquent protest at the condition of the
poor” (John Mortimer). “Suddenly conceived and written within a few weeks, [A
Christmas Carol] was the first of Dickens’ Christmas books (a new literary genre thus
created incidentally)” (Britainnica). Christmas Carol is first issue, with uncorrected,redand-blue title page dated 1843, half title printed in blue, and light green endpapers.
(First-issue copies appear with either yellow or green endpapers, no priority established;
this copy has the original green free endpapers bound in.) Fine.

from his ability to see the sweep of destiny”
(Ackroyd, 858). Plates with occasional
tiny closed tears to edges, light expert

Wonderful, large original drawing of

“In Max, the tantrum-tossing wolf-child,
Sendak portrayed what he regards as an
ordinary but also ‘a very crucial point in a
child’s life,’ a dark moment when only a
leap of faith into fantasy can help him
find release from his rage” (Silvey, 586).

First edition of Paine’s bitter public attack
on George Washington, an extra-illustrated
copy containing a steel-engraved frontispiece portrait of Franklin by Grainge and a
view of Liberty Hall. Once a “staunch supporter of Washington” (Fruchtman, 350),
Paine ultimately blamed the President for
not quickly interceding on his behalf when
he was imprisoned by the French as an
enemy alien. When Paine did not receive
any answer to his letters, he published this violent diatribe, first in America, and shortly
afterward in England and elsewhere. Near-fine.

First edition of W.E.B. Du Bois’ profoundly influential history of the
African American struggle, “a seminal
work on African-American history, culture and politics.” In the opening lines
of Du Bois’s revolutionary work, he declares “with breathtaking prescience,
‘The problem of the 20th century is the
problem of the color line’” (New York
Times). Hailed as “his greatest work…
a hauntingly complex portrait of the Afro-American people, Souls of Black Folk blended
history, sociology, memoir, biography, and fiction so effectively that it became perhaps the
most influential work on blacks in America since Uncle Tom’s Cabin” (ANB). Near-fine.

the modern world. Because of the
Depression, the third and final volume,
included here, was printed in limited
numbers and is consequently quite
scarce. A lovely set.

Rare and important second edition of Part I and rare first

of this seminal text of libertarian thought. “Mandeville gave
great offence by this book, in which a cynical system of morality was made attractive by ingenious paradoxes. It was long
popular, and later critics have pointed out the real acuteness of
the writer as well as the vigor of his style… Dr. Johnson was much impressed by the ‘Fable,’
which, he said, did not puzzle him, but ‘opened his views into real life very much” (DNB).
This combination of the revised and enlarged second edition of Part I and rare first edition of
Part II is a complete edition containing nearly all of Mandeville’s thoughts and corrections.

First editions of the first publications of these
two influential articles on game theory and
the Nash equilibrium. The copies of renowned mathematician and economist
Nicholas Georgescu-Roegen, with “The Bargaining Problem” bearing his owner stamps.
Published shortly after Nash received his Ph.D. in 1950, these are two of only three articles
directly derived from Nash’s thesis research. As a graduate student at Princeton, Nash
encountered game theory, which had been recently articulated by John von Neumann
and Oskar Morgenstern. While their theory dealt with two-person zero-sum games, or
“pure rivalries,” Nash explored rivalries with the possibility of mutual gain, where each
player acts independently and no outside authority makes sure that players stick to predetermined rules. His idea that any game such as this has one equilibrium point became
known as the “Nash equilibrium,” a founding concept in analyzing economic behavior,
and the one for which he won the Nobel Prize in 1994. Near-fine.
