REPONSE DE M. LIBRI AU RAPPORT DE M. BOUCLY PUBLIE DANS LE MONITEUR UNIVERSEL DU 19 MARS 1848.
Libri, Guglielmo
St. Bride catalogue p.547. Libri was an intelligent young Florentine nobleman who obtained his University degree at an early age. He left Italy for France in 1832 because of political problems and soon developed an excellent reputation as a scholar and bibliophile. In 1841 he was appointed secretary to a commission to inventory the manuscripts in the libraries of France. During his tenure he stole a huge collection of manuscripts which he eventually sold through a series of catalogues. This booklet is his attempt to answer charges levied against him. Covers spotted and laid down on paper. Chipped.

SOUTHERN RHODESIA, THE DISTRICT OF FORT VICTORIA AND OTHE...
by Breuil, Abbé Henri
First edition. Printed in an edition limited to 388 unnumbered copies. This is the fifth in the series about rock painting in South Africa with a collaboration of Mary E. Boyle and a foreword by Roger Heim. This volume describes two expeditions made by Abbe Breuil to Rhodesia, then Southern Rhodesia in 1948 and 1950. His study reveals affinities with the White Lady, and traces of immigrants from the north several thousand years before the white settlers of our own time. Most of the paintings here have never before been published and are largely unknown. Regions include Dandabari, Chamavara, Mbara, The Chibi Reserve, the White Rhino shelter and more. It is illustrated with 63 color plates, reproduced by the collotype and hand-stencil process by the Trianon Press, 19 photographs in monochrome collotype, and 3 line illustrations.
