Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Thomas Branagan's (1774-1843) was born in Dublin and, in his youth, traveled to England, Spain, and Norway. He also sailed on a slaver to West Africa where he purchased slaves. Branagan converted to Protestantism and soon changed his views on slavery, which he came to see as evil and oppressive. His The Excellency of the Female Character sought to instill virtue and knowledge in young women, lest they be "no better than the wild Indian who traverses the banks of the Osage" and become hindrances to respectable society (see Preface). Branagan's other works include A Preliminary Essay on the Oppression of the Exiled Sons of Africa." and The Beauties of Philanthropy, which appeared with several others in 1804 and 1805. Octavo. xiv, 15-280 pp. Original sheep. Spine and black leather label stamped in gilt. Edges stained yellow. Covers worn. Head and tail of spine and corners lightly worn. Label worn at edges. Brown stain near top edge on pp. 248-252, affecting a small portion of text. Intermittent foxing and offsetting, as usual. Contemporary ink inscription on front and back pastedown. The first inscription reads: "Mary Ann Beales, her book bought of a peddler, 1836." The second inscription reads: "Mary Ann Beales book bought of George Washington, April 8th, 1836" (obviously not the president's, whose dates are 1732-1799). A good copy. Third edition of a scarce title. The half-title notes that this was "printed for subscribers." Originally published in 1807 American Imprints 32462.

Shop-Beschreibung

Our office is located in Los Angeles on West Third Street, between the Beverly Center and Farmer's Market. Though we gave up an open shop after more than thirty years, we welcome serious customers and dealers. We are normally open from 10 to 6 Monday through Saturday. Since some of our less expensive books are located in a temperature-controlled storage area offsite, you may want to call ahead of time to insure that the book you want to see will be available. We feature a stock strong in literature, history, Western philosophy, history of science, history of computers, and art. We are members of the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America and the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers. We have books from the 15th to the 20th century in all prices ranges. We do appraisals for income tax and insurance purposes. We purchase individual books and libraries. Proprietors: Michael R. Thompson, Kathleen D. Thompson, Carol Sandberg
