Description:
London: Printed for J. G. & G. B., 1649. Full Leather. Very Good binding. A closet drama written during the height of the English Civil War, and contemporary with the events in Naples. The real-to-life Masaniello was tutored by the cleric and academic Giulio Genoino, and would organize the beginning of the first Neapolitan revolt against the Spanish Hapsburg rule. Refusing the pension offered after his instatement as Captain-General and voicing his desire to soon quit the political sphere and return to life as a fisherman, Masaniello would famously and rapidly descend into madness before having his head liberated from his shoulders. The play takes the revolt and madness, and spins an altogether different plot revolving around familial poisonings, knifings, strangulation, and barefaced tyranny by ascendant revolutionaries. Indeed, the moral of the play could scarcely have been more heavy handed--until the epilogue, when Masaniello quite literally rises from the grave to deride the chorus, decry…

Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott & Co, 1858. Half Leather. Good binding. First published in 1857, quite a good travel chronicle by Alexander Habersham detailing his observations while on duty as a lietenant with a US surveying and exploring expedition to the North Pacific and China Seas. With 30 plates including the frontispiece and engraved half-title with vignettes. Of note is the salacious Bathing Scene plate -- showing nude men and women with fully clothed Americans attending -- rather more suggestive than the similar plate in Perry's Expedition. There is also a striking plate of the Execution Yard in Canton. Not a beautiful copy, in half-leather over cloth, with the leather cracking and the original spine mostly but not entirely present laid down. The text block has some rippling, but is not stained. The plates are actually quite clear and sharp. Good binding.
