[CIRIER (Nicolas)]. L'Apprentif Administrateur, a picturesque (!), literary-typographical-bureaucratic pamphlet that may (nam tua res agitur paries cùm proximus ardet) be of interest to anyone employed, employable, exemployée. By someone in the latter category. Paris, Chez l'auteur, 1840. In-8 (227 x 144 mm) of [1] f. for the Mémoire à l'appui d'une pétition, IV pp. for the Dédiquasse, 72 pp, (2) ff. for I [between pages 18 and 19], (1) f., 17 pp. and 1 folded lithographed portrait for III [between pages 24 and 25], 1 large folded lithographed table. Paperback in printed green paper cover with remnants of red wax stamp and handwritten bill laminated to first board, several small pieces of blank paper laminated to second board to mask engraved drawings in corners. First edition of 100 copies (of which less than ten have survived) of this incredible publication by Nicolas Cirier (1792-1869), proofreader and protector at the Imprimerie Royale from 1826 to 1836, when he resigned following a refusal of promotion. "This pamphlet, "bariolé d'observations" (Cirier dixit), that is to say, lithographic vignettes pasted on, woodcuts and copper engravings, a jumble of recriminations and considerations on the author's craft, interests us above all for the typographic delirium employed, for what Cirier called his horror vacui [...] The most extravagant of Cirier's productions is also the rarest: as soon as it was published, its author announced that he was going to destroy all but "five or six" copies. Little more is known of it. (Antoine Coron). According to Raymond Queneau (who worked to bring Cirier out of oblivion): "No literary madman has ever made such profound use of the resources of printing, nor so conscious an expression of his delirium." (in Bâtons, chiffres et lettres.) Copy enriched with 19 additional cut and pasted lithographs (not including the fold-out portrait and table) and 13 pasted printed texts, one flyleaf printed on pink paper before p. 5 (with the continuation of the text of the page also printed on pink paper pasted at the bottom of page 5). Cover very worn, missing at lower corner of first cover, tears with small missing pieces at upper corner of first cover (with small piece of paper laminated on verso, for reinforcement?), major missing piece on second cover. Rousseurs. (Des livres rares depuis l'invention de l'imprimerie, BnF, 1998, no. 241: notice by Antoine Coron; Blavier, Les Fous littéraires, 2000, pp. 595-604).

George Washington: ‘Greatness the Result of Goodness. A Sermon, Occasioned by the Death of George Washington’ Pamphlet by Samuel West Rare pamphlet entitled “Greatness the Result of Goodness. A Sermon, Occasioned by the Death of George Washington, Late Commander in Chief of the Armies, and First President, of the United States of America, Who Died December 14, 1799, aged 68.,” by Samuel West, D.D. pastor of the church in Hollis Street, Boston. Printed by Manning & Loring of Boston, Massachusetts (1800), 5.25 x 8.75, 38 pages (originally bound with 40 pages; the last two pages are no longer present), containing West’s opening sermon and a section entitled “The Legacy of the Father of His Country. Address of George Washington, on Declining Being Considered a Candidate for the Presidency of the United States,” which he delivered on September 17, 1796. West’s sermon begins: “UNDER the deep impression of that great event which has clad a nation in mourning, you will feel the propriety of my addressing you, in the words of David, on the death of the General of the armies of Israel, 2d Samuel, iii. 38. ‘A GREAT MAN IS FALLEN.’ The start of Washington’s address: “THE period for a new election of a citizen, to administer the executive government of the United States, being not far distant, and the time actually arrived, when your thoughts must be employed in designating the person, who is to be clothed with that important trust, it appears to me proper, especially as it may conduce to a more distinct expression of the public voice, that I should now apprise you of the resolution I have formed, to decline being considered among the number of those, out of whom a choice is to be made.” In very good condition, with wear and folds to the edges, some light spotting, and a missing lower right corner to cover, which also bears an affixed label.

Crimea - HOMMAIRE DE HELL (Ignace-Xavier). The Steppes of the Caspian Sea, the Caucasus, Crimea and Southern Russia. Voyage pittoresque, historique et scientifique. Paris, P. Bertrand, Strasbourg, Veuve Levrault, 1843-1845. 3 vol. in-8, viii-514 pp, [1] f. errata; [2] ff, 598 pp; x-508 pp, gray bradel percaline, ornate spines, havana headpieces (late 19th century binding). First edition of this remarkable monograph, which has the particularity of having served in the Armée d'Orient during the Crimean War. In 1838, the Alsatian engineer Xavier Hommaire (1812-1848) traveled to "New Russia" where, at the request of the region's governor general, Count Vorontsov, he set out on a voyage of exploration of the Crimea and Caucasus, from Odessa to Astrakhan via Taganrog. After investigating the geological configuration of the Crimea for Vorontsov, he also turned his attention to the question of the rupture of the ancient Bosphorus isthmus and the Caspian depression, to which he returned in 1840. Having discovered an iron mine on the banks of the Dnieper in 1839, he was awarded the Order of St. Vladimir and ennobled by Emperor Nicholas I of Russia. Xavier Hommaire then added a particle to his name, followed by his mother's maiden name. In 1841, he entered the service of the reigning prince of Moldavia, Mihail Sturdza, who put him in charge of mining and communications. Illness forced him to return to France. The Atlas is missing.
