His writings are indispendable for the study of Fernando… Read More

In good to very good condition. 24 pp. *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION; signed in print at the end by Samuel Parsons and Anne Mott, clerks. The narration begins with a description of the "spirit of unbelief and libertinism, which has long been secretly insinuating itself amongst us." Pages 8-11 are a detailed account of how the "separatists" disrupted the Society's daily business in New York, even changing the locks so orthodox members could not hold committee meetings. Pages 11-22 offer quotes from Elias Hicks and counter-arguments from the writings of William Penn, George Whitehead, and others. In A Doctrinal Epistle Purporting to Be an Exposition of Christian Doctrine, 1824, Elias Hicks, an itinerant Quaker preacher from Long Island, argued that the most important principle of worship (among the Friends and… Read More

Half-title and title page printed in red and black. Light browning. Overall in very good condition. Frontispiece portrait, xii, 215 pp. *** FIRST EDITION of this short novel, the third of the volumes published posthumously by Eça de Queiroz's eldest son from manuscripts discovered in 1924. The original manuscript had no title and its date is uncertain, although the paper is watermarked with the year 1883. Guerra da Cal comments that this edition, like A Capital and O Conde de Abranhos which appeared in the same year, is not faithful to the text of the autograph manuscript. For scholarly accuracy, the edition by Helena Cidade Moura is preferred. Guerra da Cal lists 9 editions by 1968, plus 3 appearances in obras and Spanish and German translations. *** Guerra da Cal, Lengua y estilo de Eça de Queiroz, Bibliografía queirociana, 1356.… Read More

Caricature portrait of Pessoa by Almada Negreiros dated "35" on recto of page [7]. Inevitable light to moderate browning (due to the paper quality) but not brittle.

Overall in good to very good condition. Small square paper tag tipped on to upper inner corner of front wrapper with old ink (shelfmark?) "559 // L N" [?]. 39 pp. *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION of this early work by one of the most important Portuguese poets, essayists, and political thinkers. Here, in one of his earliest political writings, Anthero demonstrates his democratic and republican values. Like several other members of the "generation of 70", he favored some sort of Iberian union. Anthero [Tarquínio] de Quental (1842-1891) is recognized by Saraiva & Lopes as "o principal mentor da geração de 70 nas suas origens, simultaneamente polemista, poeta, doutrinário e até certo ponto caudilho" (p. 915). Bell adds that he was "that rare thing in Portuguese literature, a poet who thinks" (p. 328). Born in Ponta Delgada… Read More

Engraved pictorial bookplate of Victor d'Avila Perez. Paper ticket of Mundo do Livro. 48 pp. *** FIRST and ONLY EDITION of this important early work by Quental, the final salvo in his heated pamphlet war with the Portuguese poet Antonio Feliciano de Castilho (1800-1875). In an introduction to Manuel Pinheiro Chagas' O poema da mocidade (Coimbra, 1865), Castilho championed romanticism over the "pretentious affectations" of contemporary Portuguese poets (Bell, Portuguese Literature p. 304). Quental replied in his famous polemic Bom senso e bom gosto (Coimbra, 1865), and the fight was on. Dozens of pamphlets were published as others entered the fray, and Quental eventually was forced to fight a duel with the critic José Duarte Ramalhão Ortigão.
