Manuscrit. Bon. cartonnage. In-8. 59 ff. (et ff. blancs) in-8 dans un classeur de percaline noire avec intercalaires. Emouvant carnet d'adresses du psychanalyste, soigneusement tenu à jour (parfois de la main de sa femme Hélène). On y trouve presque tous les noms (avec adresses et parfois téléphone) du milieu psychanalytique et psychiatrique parisien des années 1920 et 1930 ainsi que pas mal de pédiatres, linguistes et philosophes. Le premier nom que nous avons cherché est celui de Louis Aragon, puisque l'amitié des deux hommes est connue : nous l'avons trouvé à Neuilly ainsi qu'à l'hôtel Apollo, rue de Dunkerque à Paris. Françoise Dolto est là, au nom de Françoise Marette (13 square Henri Paté), ainsi bien sûr que Jacques Lacan (149 rue de la Pompe), Allendy, René Laforgue, Henri Bergson, Adrien Borel, Cenac, Henri Claude, Codet, Dauzat, Robert…

On trouve même des exercices, la toponymie des villes françaises et un vocabulaire anatomique ! Superbe illustration du pouvoir conceptuel et de la précocité de l'esprit (facétieux) de Pichon, qui allait plus tard donner, avec son oncle Jacques Damourette, la grammaire de la (vraie) langue française la plus complète et la plus complexe à ce jour.Personnage d'une grande richesse, d'une infinie curiosité et très complexe, Edouard Pichon est un contemporain et - par son intérêt pour le…

Description:
Hardcover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. 170 page manuscript. Contemporary half speckled sheep, marbled sides. Several contemporary sheets of manuscript with mathematical notations loosely inserted. Corners repaired, a little wear and some discolouration to boards, endpapers tanned, contents with the occasional light spot but overall quite clean. Very good condition. An elegant, substantial early-19th century manuscript containing practical mathematical and astronomical problems likely produced by a student of navigation. The majority of the text is from John Bonnycastle''s A Treatise on Plane and Spherical Trigonometry, originally published in 1806. Bonnycastle was a respected mathematics teacher who tutored the children of the aristocracy and taught at the Royal Military Academy in Woolwich. A man of "considerable classical and general literary culture", he was a great friend of Fuseli and also of Leigh Hunt, who included Bonnycastle in his book Lord Byron and Some of His Contemporaries.…

Description:
Durham, England, 1681; Final concord Latin indenture in highly mannered Gothic style, executed at the court of Durham during the reign of Charles II on the 26th day of May in the year 1681 before three identified justices and the Mayor of the City Of Durham. Plaintiff is John Garstell, deforciants are Mary Hopper and Anthony Craggs and wife Amice. At issue is a tenement comprised of messuage, an orchard, twenty acres of land, twenty acres of meadow, and twenty acres of pasture, together with all goods and appurtenances, at Wiserley, Weardale township, in the parish of Wolsingham, County Durham. A sum of 160 silver marks was paid, suggesting this property was almost certainly a freehold. Indeed the names of John Gastell, Anthony Craggs and John Hopper appear as Wolsingham freeholders for 1685 in H. Conyers Surtees’ "History Of The Parish Of Wolsingham." Freeholds in Wolsingham were scarce, as the vast majority of lands were retained by the See of the Bishop of Durham. Manuscript…

1940. Manuscrit. Très bon. En Feuilles. Signé par l'auteur. In-4. [circa octobre 1940] Manuscrit autographe de 9 ff. in-4 anopistographes (environ 30 lignes par page), signé in-fine. Quelques ratures. Un manuscrit, probablement inédit, très lisible. Dans ce projet d'article, Claude Farrère évoque longuement l'invasion japonaise de la Chine puis la récente invasion du Haut Laos et du Haut Tonkin. Il prévoit une extension du conflit, car les bases navales de l'Indochine coupent Hong-Kong de Singapour et remarque qu'une "extension des conflits actuels ôterait à la planète le peu de chances qui lui restent de jamais retrouver une paix durable et une civilisation basée sur le droit, la justice, l'ordre et la liberté". L'article se termine par des considérations sur les bienfaits apportés par la colonisation française de l'Indochine, respectueuse des…
