Originally published in 1683, Herman Witsius's "Aegyptiaca" compares the religious rites of the Jews and the Egyptians.

- Publisher: E. R. Marden
- Date published: 1911
Washington DC: E. R. Marden, 1911. A 23 1/2" x 22" color land development plat for Villa Park Heights Washington DC. This was a proposed development between Eastern Avenue on the north and Bunker Road on the south, It also included McKinley Circle. The narrative describes how it is some of the only vacant land available in the District of Columbia and would provide for property improvement and beautification paid for by the US Government and no assessments for street paving. It elaborates on beautiful squares and circles and the convenience of the location. Plat printed in yellow and green. The reverse is an inventory of the properties including the lot number, square footage, price per square foot and total cost of the land. Terms: 10% discount for cash, $10 down and $10 per month. No interest or taxes until one-third of the purchase price has been paid. Letter folds. Unfortunately the development, including the proposed McKinley Circle did not happen, due to the untimely death of one of the developers leading to a lawsuit between the wife of the deceased and his business partner. It is currently the Woodbridge area and McKinley Circle is the 21 acre Barnard Hill Park. E. R. Marden was married to Clara Marden. His business partner was Earl P. Hopkins. The two men were also partners in the Washington Civil Services School.

[Berlin]: Vereinigung Berliner Architekten, 1905. First edition. Hardcover. g- to vg. Folio (13 1/2 x 10 1/4"). 58, [2]pp (Text and in-text illustrations), [56] leaves (Plates). Original blue cloth, with gold lettering to front cover. Decorative endpapers. Laid in, an original and unsigned watercolor on transparent paper, and the third issue of the Technische Hochschule Charlottenburg, dated February 27, 1920. Title page decorated by Adolf Hartung. This splendid photo-illustrated architectural monograph was published by the Union of Berlin Architects (Vereinigung Berliner Architekten) to commemorate the 25th anniversary of their founding. The founding members included distinguished historians as well as Martin Gropius, a celebrated architect and the uncle of Walter Gropius. By 1904, the association had over two hundred members. As seen in this book, the Union was an active participant in the architectural life of Berlin and curious about developments elsewhere. "Vereinigung Berliner Architekten MDCCCLXXIX-MDCCCCIV" features striking full-page b/w illustrated and photographic plates showing some of the best architectural examples produced between 1879 and 1904, such as: - The Berlin Dom (Cathedral), constructed from 1893 to 1905 by Julius Carl Raschdorff. - An architectural drawing of the Metz railway station, under construction at the time of the publication. The impressive Gothic-style station was built between 1905 and 1908 by German architect Jürgen Kröger assisted by the architects Jürgensen and Bachmann. - The Kaiserbrücke, a railway bridge on the Mainz rail bypass across the Rhine at the north end of Mainz. The bridge was built between 1901 and 1904 by Franz Heinrich Schwechten, one of the most famous architects of his time who contributed to the development of historicist architecture. The Kaiserbrücke was destroyed in 1945 by retreating German troops. - The New Town Hall (Leipzig), built between 1899 and 1905 by Hugo Licht. - The Lessing-Theater (Berlin), built between 1897 and 1898 by Hermann von der Hude and Julius Hennicke. The theater was destroyed during an allied air raid in April 1945. - The Bismarcksäule (Cologne), a prominent memorial statue dedicated to Prince and Chancellor Otto von Bismarck. The statue was built by A. Hartmann. - The Bismarck-Denkmal (Hamburg), is a memorial sculpture located in the St. Pauli quarter, dedicated to Otto von Bismarck. The monument was built by W. Müller. - The Charlottenburg U-Bahn station, built by Alfred Grenander. - The Almemor (raised platform also called bema, bimah or bima) of the synagogue in Lindenstrasse (Berlin). The synagogue was built in 1881 by Cremer & Wolffensteir. Some of the buildings featured in this work were built in the style of the Jugendstill (Art Nouveau). Minor abrasion to spine. Binding rubbed along edges. Text in German. Binding in overall good- to good, interior in very good condition.

BERNSTEIN, Henri (as "Henry" on the title)
- Publisher: Librairie Arthème Fayard
- Date published: 1938
Paris: Librairie Arthème Fayard, 1938. From the Bart Auerbach Collection. Near fine save some light darkening to the sheets. 8vo. Later buckram, original printed wrappers bound in, untrimmed. First edition. Inscribed by Bernstein on the half-title to the dedicatee's wife, the actress Patricia Patterson: "à la meilleure partenaire de Charles à la Marmanche Pat affecteuresment Henry Bernstein." Patricia Patterson (1910-1978) made more than 20 films, including Charlie Chan Goes to Egypt. It was a case of love at first sight when she was introduced to the actor Charles Boyer by Maurice Chevalier at a wrap party for the film in 1934. Charles Boyer (1899-1978) appeared in more than 80 films between 1920 and 1976, including his celebrated performance in Gaslight (1944). The playwright Henri Bernstein (1876-1953) was associated with Boulevard Theatre. Boyer had appeared in leading roles of several film adaptations of Bernstein's plays, including Orage (1938), the film adaptation of this play (in which Boyer is listed on the cast list). The printed dedication reads: "Au grand acteur qui fut, tant de soirs, sur la scène du Gymnase, à Charles Boyer son ami H. B."

LONGINUS, Dionysius. [title In Greek]
- Publisher: Ex Officini Francisci Halma
- Date published: 1694
Trajecti ad Rhenum: Ex Officini Francisci Halma, 1694. First Tollius edition. 4to, pp., [28], 408, [12]. Engraved title-page; Printed with Greek and Latin texts on facing pages, woodcut printer's device, ornaments and initials, full vellum backed marble boards with leather label. Upper margin along the hinge shows a water mark in the preliminary matter, o/w a very nice clean copy. Longinus was a Greek Platonic philosopher and rhetorician of the 3rd century AD. He studied in Alexandria and taught in Athens. He was beheaded by Emperor Aurelian in 273 A.D. but is remembered for his Philosophical Discourses, On First Principles, On the Chief End. His authorship of the present work is desputed. Praised by Dibdin and Gibbon, this edition of these commentaries on The Sublime by the anonymous author known as Longinus "is one of the greatest of all critical acheievements. An illuminating dissertation on style, accompanied by many penetrating judgements as well as suggestive pronouncements on critical standards and principles, the treatise is unique in its interpretation of the classical spirit, its compelling enthusiasms, its sanity, its freshness and its unerring insights into the essentials of art."(OCD).

- Publisher: Marees Gesellschaft, R. Piper & Co. Verlag
- Date published: 1918
Munich: Marees Gesellschaft, R. Piper & Co. Verlag, 1918. First Limited Edition Thus. Full Pigskin (Full Leather), with custom slipcase. Near Fine. No. 162 of 200, with one of 150 on hand-made paper of Wiggins, Teape & Co. 240 copies in all were made, including unnumbered copies (212 were numbered in one of two ways). 4to. (27 by 20 cm.) 282, [5] pp. The outstanding aspects of this edition and copy in which Ovid's verse is rendered in both Latin and German translation are magnificent decorative pigskin binding, the flowing type, and the elegant page decoration, which includes a huge variety of cameo images. These images are never repeated exactly, it should also be noted. Resulting is a book of extraordinary beauty, both exterior and interior-wise. Aesthetically the book production is true to the classical in its lines and sensibility while being securely of its own time when a sinuous Art Nouveau or Jugendstil was ripening into a modernist economy, or Art Deco. There are sensuous Rococo details, such as the gilt lines etched into the spine, while one can not but be impressed with the lack of clutter on each and every page! While the type is not a plain Roman or the like, the gentle curvature of the cursive invites and soothes the eye, and every word should be crisply clear to the modern reader. Light soiling and darkening on the spine. Clean and tight within. The slipcase has some wear.
