WILLIAM COBBETT AND THE UNITED STATES, 1792-1835. A BIBLIOGRAPHY WITH NOTES AND EXTRACTS.
Gaines, Pierce W.
First edition. In the early 1790s, William Cobbett, an ex-plowboy and soldier, arrived in Philadelphia and set off a journalistic explosion. In an age of slashing and scurrilous pamphleteering, Cobbett, better known under the pseudonym of Peter Porcupine, proved to be the most hard-hitting, fearless, prolific and irrepressible bully-boy with pen and types that America had ever seen or possibly ever was to see. Pierce Gaines provides an in-depth guide to Cobbett's literary and publishing activities, covering all his writings published in America, all the items he issued as a publisher, and all those that he wrote or published elsewhere but that relate to America. Extracts are furnished from the original publications to convey their character and flavor. Though this is primarily an author bibliography, it also provides a racy account of journalism.

[COLLECTION OF CATALOGUES].
by Nijhoff, Martinus
Over forty catalogues from the Dutch subscription agent and book dealer Martinus Nijhoff, produced over a fifty year period. Martinus Nijhoff was founded in The Hague in 1853. It began as a small shop specializing in rare books and broadened in the ensuing years to include supplying and procuring books for academic libraries. Catalogues are printed in either Dutch, English, German or French. With special issues devoted to industrial art and architecture, Netherlandish history, and Dutch East India, among other topics. Two catalogues were specially printed for Mr. W. Nijhoff's sales trip to the U.S. in the 1930s. Martinus Nijhoff remains in business, though it is now owned by Brill Academic Publishers.
