This was published in 12 parts between 1807 and 1811. This part was printed in 1808. Disbound / unbound, as initially published. It was intended to be gathered together, but each part is complete in itself. The author tells several moral tales, which portray life upside down! It was indeed for the Portuguese at this time. France, under Napoleon, demanded Portugal halt trade with Britain and join the Continental System; when Portugal delayed, General Junot invaded on November 19, 1807, with Spanish support as per the Treaty of Fontainebleau, occupying Lisbon by November 30 as the Portuguese royal family fled to Brazil. Several of the items in this work are written as "letters to a friend." Although it doesn't say who the friend is, he refers to them as "your majesties." There are also references to "Boqueirao do Caes do Sodre" a recently restored public garden in Rio de Janeiro (where the Royal Family were). The last leaf has a verse riddle, the answer to which will be given in a later issue. There is a manuscript answer to the riddle on the page. The tone of the work is Anti-French, referring to them as "our cruel protectors." The colophon is to the last leaf, which as well as publisher and date, states that the work is printed with the permission of the Royal Court. 32 pages. 22cm x 16cm. The whole work (12 parts) is referenced in WorldCat / OCLC: 613411936 which states only one library holding. In good, clean condition with a touch of edge wear only. Sewn binding is firm. A touch of darkening to the front cover.

    . Première édition. Une publication satirique rare, produite anonymement, mais par Da Costa. En portugais. Elle a été publiée en 12 parties entre 1807 et 1811. Cette partie a été imprimée en 1808. Non reliée, comme lors de sa publication initiale. Elle était destinée à être rassemblée, mais chaque partie est complète en soi. L'auteur raconte plusieurs contes moraux qui dépeignent la vie à l'envers ! C'était en effet le cas pour les Portugais à cette époque. La France, sous Napoléon, exigeait que le Portugal cesse tout commerce avec la Grande-Bretagne et rejoigne le système continental ; lorsque le Portugal a tardé à le faire, le général Junot a envahi le pays le 19 novembre 1807, avec le soutien de l'Espagne conformément au traité de Fontainebleau, occupant Lisbonne le 30 novembre alors que la famille royale portugaise s'enfuyait au Brésil. Plusieurs éléments de cet ouvrage sont rédigés sous forme de « lettres à un ami ». Bien qu'il ne précise pas qui est cet ami, il le désigne par « vos majestés ». Il fait également référence au « Boqueirao do Caes do Sodre », un jardin public récemment restauré à Rio de Janeiro (où se trouvait la famille royale). La dernière page contient une énigme en vers, dont la réponse sera donnée dans un prochain numéro. La réponse manuscrite à l'énigme se trouve sur la page. Le ton de l'ouvrage est anti-français, les qualifiant de « nos cruels protecteurs ». Le colophon se trouve sur la dernière page et, outre le nom de l'éditeur et la date, il indique que l'ouvrage a été imprimé avec l'autorisation de la Cour royale. 32 pages. 22 cm x 16 cm. L'œuvre complète (12 parties) est référencée dans WorldCat / OCLC : 613411936, qui n'indique qu'une seule bibliothèque la possédant. En bon état, propre, avec seulement une légère usure des bords. La reliure cousue est solide. Légère décoloration de la couverture avant.

    Bordeaux: E. Philibert, 1853. First edition. The score and story of "Le Régent de Mathématiques," a popular mid nineteenth century French song. Although undated, Worldcat states that this is a first edition from 1853.

The sheet has the stamp of E Vieillot, the Parisian seller, showing that they have paid the tax on this sheet. Inside is the musical score and lyrics. This shows that Muller had a guitar accompaniment by Louis de Charlemagne. Opposite are notes and some supporting story to the song. The final page is blank. Overall in decent condition, although there is a little nicking and marking to the sheet edge. There is also a very light water stain to the top third of each page (most noticeable on the final blank page. The printing, as is common with broadsides / chapbook material, is somewhat careless, to the L of the title is printed too far to the left, and so is actually to the rear page. On sheet folded, so two leaves and four pages. Scarce, we can find no other copies available. Conforms to WorldCat / OCLC: 1249739559. This states only one library holding at the BnF.

    . Première édition. Partition et paroles de « Le Régent de Mathématiques », chanson française populaire du milieu du XIXe siècle. Bien qu'elle ne soit pas datée, Worldcat indique qu'il s'agit d'une première édition de 1853. Sur la couverture figure une caricature non signée représentant un enseignant enseignant l'arithmétique à des garçons devant un tableau noir, avec un tableau ABC derrière lui. Cette illustration satirique correspond aux clichés éducatifs français du milieu du XIXe siècle. Les paroles sont d'Étienne Tréfeu (1821-1903), librettiste connu pour ses collaborations avec Offenbach. La musique est de Victor Robillard (1827-1893), compositeur de plus de 500 chansons populaires et chef d'orchestre au Théâtre du Palais-Royal. Chantée par W.E. Müller. La partition porte le cachet de E Vieillot, le vendeur parisien, indiquant qu'il a payé la taxe sur cette partition. À l'intérieur se trouvent la partition musicale et les paroles. Cela montre que Muller était accompagné à la guitare par Louis de Charlemagne. En face se trouvent des notes et une histoire accompagnant la chanson. La dernière page est vierge. Dans l'ensemble, la feuille est en bon état, bien qu'il y ait quelques petites entailles et marques sur les bords. Il y a également une très légère tache d'eau sur le tiers supérieur de chaque page (plus visible sur la dernière page vierge). Comme c'est souvent le cas avec les feuilles volantes et les livres de colportage, l'impression est quelque peu négligée : le L du titre est imprimé trop à gauche, et se trouve donc en réalité sur la page arrière. Feuille pliée, donc deux feuillets et quatre pages. Rare, nous n'avons trouvé aucun autre exemplaire disponible. Conforme à WorldCat / OCLC : 1249739559. Cela indique qu'une seule bibliothèque, la BnF, possède cet ouvrage.

    London: G.S. Tregear, 1835. First Edition. An attractive copy of this print. One of the Flights of Humour series. We are unsure which, as the small cartouche which would number it has been cut away from the corner. Nevertheless, this is typical of the style of this series and was printed at the correct time. (From the address 96 Cheapside we can identify the printing as between 1834 and 1840). As is typical, no artist is credited. Hand coloured illustration mocking an Irish father for his heavy handed care of his son.

(L'adresse 96 Cheapside nous permet d'identifier l'impression entre 1834 et 1840). Comme c'est souvent le cas, aucun artiste n'est mentionné. Illustration coloriée à la main se moquant d'un père irlandais qui s'occupe beaucoup de son fils. La feuille est propre et soignée (avec juste une petite tache de rousseur) et n'est gâchée que par le coin qui a été coupé.

  • The Advantages of Saccharin in the Manufacture of Aerated Waters, Cordials, &c by [ANON]
    [ANON]
    The Advantages of Saccharin in the Manufacture of Aerated Waters, Cordials, &c

    London: Wilson, Salamon, & Co., Ltd, 1894. Scarce reprint (improved and revised 10th edition) of the original business pamphlet had become necessary as, within three years of the original, the contents were viewed more as a practical text book than a promotional item. At the time, saccharin was considered be a good inclusion, as - to quote this booklet - it never creates acidity or heartburn, and is, in these respects, far healthier than sugar! Blue soft covers are a little creased at edges, and inside the staples holding the booklet together are somewhat rusted. Overall good. 48 pages. 210 x 135 mm (8¼ x 5¼ inches).
