FIRST EDITION of Fielding’s masterpiece, which was rushed to publication in 1749. As a result, the first edition contains a number of errors due to both compositor and author error. The work was immediately revised after the publication of the first edition, and the errors are addressed in subsequent editions which also omit the errata leaf (present in this copy).

He describes the watercolor as “lousy,” and comments on Schnellock’s pencil annotations: “The notations he made seem to be the real names of the characters - which I would prefer to be kept secret as far as possible. In any case, this copy is a real find and should be worth quite something one day, I imagine.” A SUPERB ASSOCIATION COPY. Pearson A32.

Volume I with black leaf E5, volume III with engraved plate after Hogarth and marbled leaf between L4 and L5, volume VII in first state with errata on title verso.

FIRST EDITION, FIRST STATE with Sterne’s signature in ink, as usual, inscribed at the head of first chapters in vols. V, VII and IX. Sterne initially offered the manuscript for Tristram Shandy to Dodsley for £50 in 1759, but he rejected it. As a result, Sterne had a small run of probably no more than 300 copies printed in York; eventually, Dodsley agreed to act as London agent. Sterne earned instant recognition when his work was published on 1 January 1760, and he went to London where he was invited to court and had his portrait painted by Reynolds. The final volume appeared in January 1767, just over a year before his death. ESTC T14780 (Vols. I-II); ESTC T14705 (Vols. III-IV, Vol. III combination 1c); ESTC T14706 (Vols.

Provenance: George Alexander (1858-1918) actor and producer (presentation inscription, bookplate). FIRST EDITION, one of 500 copies. PRESENTATION COPY INSCRIBED BY WILDE TO GEORGE ALEXANDER: “To my friend, George Alexander, who produced my play so beautifully. Oscar Wilde Nov 93.” Wilde approached Alexander, then the newly-appointed manager of St. James’s Theater, with his play Duchess of Padua in 1890; Alexander turned it down, because he thought the scenery would be too costly, but encouraged Wilde to write a play about modern life. Alexander produced the resulting play, Lady Windermere’s Fan, at St. James’s Theater in 1892, where he would also produce The Importance of Being Earnest in 1894. Wilde wrote to Alexander in 1894: “I shall always remember with pride and with pleasure the artistic manner in which you produced my first play [Lady Windermere’s Fan], and the artistic care you showed, down to the smallest detail of production, that my work should be presented in the best manner possible.” Following Wilde’s arrest and resulting bankruptcy, Alexander bought the rights to both Lady Windermere’s Fan and The Importance of Being Earnest, and arranged to spread the payments over an extended period of time, while also remitting a portion of the royalties to Robert Ross, Wilde’s literary executor. In a July 1900 letter to Alexander, Wilde thanks him: “With regard to your proposal to spread the payment for the plays over a certain time, I know it was dictated by sheer kindness and the thoughtfulness of an old friend.” On his death, Alexander willed the rights to both plays to Wilde’s surviving son Vyvyan Holland.

[JACKSON, Andrew (1767-1845)]. Hickory walking stick presented to Francis

Preston Blair.

Handle with inset engraved plaque with a globe and text reading: “A. Jackson to F. P. Blair,” 36 ½-in. in length. Provenance: Francis Preston Blair (1791-1876), newspaper editor, advisor to President Jackson and member of the “Kitchen Cabinet” (presentation plaque); by descent to Montgomery Blair Jr. A FINE HICKORY CANE PRESENTED FROM JACKSON TO A MEMBER OF HIS “KITCHEN CABINET” Francis Preston Blair was an early member of the Democratic Party and was a strong supporter of Andrew Jackson. He was an influential advisor to Andrew Jackson, and was a member of the “Kitchen Cabinet,” a group of unofficial advisors to the President. He was founder and editor of The Globe newspaper from 1830 through 1845, during which time the newspaper championed Democratic causes. After resigning his post as Editor at The Globe, Blair partnered with John C. Rives to start a printing house, receiving orders from Congress, including publishing The Congressional Globe, the precursor of the Congressional Record. Following the Kansas-Nebraska Act of 1854, Blair left the Democratic Party to help establish the Republican Party. He served as an advisor to President Lincoln, and his son, Montgomery, served in Lincoln’s cabinet (see lots 326 and 327). Blair resided at Blair House in Washington D. C., which was built in 1824; he left the home to his son Montgomery. It now belongs to the United States government, and was the first building to receive a federally-recognized landmark designation in 1939, and is known today as the “President’s Guest House.” [With:] 2 copies of The Globe newspaper, comprising: Vol. III, No. 202. Monday, June 2, 1834. – Vol. X, No. 70, September 3, 1840.

LINCOLN, Abraham (1809-1865). Autograph letter signed (“A. Lincoln”), as President, to Montgomery Blair. Washington, D.C., September 23 1864. 1 page, 4to, bifolium, with integral leaf blank, Executive Mansion stationery; silked on both sides, short tears to center fold (not affecting any letters), minor toning, some minor ink burn. Provenance: Montgomery Blair (1813-1883), Maryland politician and lawyer, Postmaster General to President Lincoln; by descent to Montgomery Blair Jr. LINCOLN REQUESTS MONTGOMERY BLAIR’S RESIGNATION Lincoln writes to Blair, Postmaster General and member of his Cabinet: “You have generously said to me, more than once, that whenever your resignation could be a relief to me, it was at my disposal. The time has come.” With one ink emendation in Lincoln’s hand. After Lincoln’s 1860 election, Blair was appointed Postmaster General; he was the sole cabinet member who stood with Lincoln in support of resupplying Fort Sumter at the outset of the Civil War in 1861. Blair was a devout abolitionist, and prior to Lincoln’s election, he served as counsel to Dred Scott in the 1856 Supreme Court case Dred Scott vs. Sanford. By 1863, when the Union began to plan for the end of the war (which would not come for another two years), Reconstruction was a topic of much debate in the Republican Party; Blair’s views of reconstruction were at odds with the radical wing of the party. The Republican Party was deeply divided by the 1864 election and the radical Republicans issued an ultimatum – they would not support Lincoln in his bid for reelection unless Blair was removed from his cabinet. Lincoln faced a challenge from third-party candidate John C. Frémont, the nominee of the Radical Democracy Party, which criticized Lincoln for being too moderate on the issue of racial inequality. In September 1864, Lincoln learned that Frémont would withdraw from the race if Montgomery Blair would resign from his cabinet. Frémont renounced his candidacy on September 22, 1864; the next day, Lincoln accepted Blair’s resignation. Blair, in a letter to his wife, Elizabeth Woodley Blair, speculated, “I suppose, however, that he thinks it will help to appease the Frémonters’ and Radicals, if I am dropped.” In their biography of Lincoln, Nicolay and Hay note: “the opposition to Blair was not confined to the radical demonstrations in the Baltimore Convention and out of it… Some of the most judicious Republicans in the country, who were not personally unfriendly to Blair, urged upon the President the necessity of freeing himself from such a source of weakness and discord” (Abraham Lincoln: A History, Vol. IX, p.337). Lincoln’s retained secretarial copy of this letter signed by the President is in the Robert Todd Lincoln papers at the Library of Congress.

[LINCOLN, Abraham -- ASSASSINATION]. Ford’s Theater…Friday Evening, April 14th 1865. Washington, D.C.: H. Polkinhorn & Son, 1865.

Folio broadside (460 x 122 mm), a few short tears at top with minor losses just affecting a few letters and old repair on verso, a few tiny marginal chips, overall browning from old framing. Provenance: Montgomery Blair (1813-1883) Maryland politician and lawyer, Postmaster General to President Lincoln; by descent to Montgomery Blair Jr. THE GENUINE FIRST ISSUE OF THE APRIL 14 FORD’S THEATER PLAYBILL, FROM THE COLLECTION OF LINCOLN’S PRIOR POSTMASTER GENERAL The April 14th Ford’s Theater playbill is known in two distinct issues. On the morning of the 14th, H. Polkinhorn & Son printed a run of handbills for that evening’s performance that was probably equivalent to the number of seats in the theater at the time. By mid-day, a messenger from the White House brought news that Lincoln had accepted an invitation to attend the play that night. In Lincoln’ honor, the theater management decided to add the patriotic song “Honor To Our Soldiers” to the program for the evening. Polkinhorn reset part of the type for the handbill, adding the song. (Copies with this addition constitute the second issue). Copies of both issues were in circulation among the members of the audience for the performance on the evening of the 14th. Incidentally, John Wilkes Booth was picking up his mail when the White House messenger arrived to inform theater management about Lincoln’s attendance that fateful evening. BOTH ISSUES ARE VERY RARE: American Book Prices Current records only four copies of either issue. Property from the Estate of Montgomery Blair Jr., Washington, D.C. $3,000-4,000

GUIDE FOR PROSPECTIVE BUYERS Conditions of Sale Leslie Hindman Auctioneers encourages all prospective buyers to read the Conditions of Sale printed in this catalogue. Exhibitions Leslie Hindman Auctioneers recommends that all prospective buyers attend the pre-sale exhibition prior to the auction. Staff members are available at our pre-sale exhibitions to advise prospective buyers on particular objects or on any aspect of the bidding process. Estimates Leslie Hindman Auctioneers provides catalogue descriptions and pre-auction estimates for each lot included in the sale. These estimates are a guide for prospective bidders. They are not definitive. All pre-sale estimates are subject to revision. Condition Reports We are happy to provide a condition report for lots with a low estimate of $300 and above. Nevertheless, intending buyers are reminded that condition reports are statements of our opinion only, and that each lot is sold “AS IS,” per our Conditions of Sale, as outlined in the back of this catalogue. All lots should be viewed personally by prospective buyers or their agents to evaluate the condition of the property offered for sale due to the highly subjective nature of condition reports. Bidding at Auction The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Leslie Hindman Auctioneers a buyer’s premium as well as any applicable taxes.

Bidding generally opens at half the low estimate and advances in the following order, although the auctioneer may vary the bidding increments during the course of the auction. The normal bidding increments are: $0 $200 $500 $1,000 $2,000 $5,000 $10,000 $20,000 $50,000 $100,000 Over >

If we receive written bids on a particular lot for identical amounts, and these are the highest bids on the lot at the auction, it will be sold to the person whose written bid was received and accepted first. Execution of written bids is a free service undertaken subject to other commitments at the time of the sale and we do not accept liability for failing to execute a written bid or for errors and omissions in connection with the written bid. Telephone Bids On lots with a low estimate of $300 and above and if a prospective buyer makes arrangements with us prior to the commencement of the sale we will use reasonable efforts to contact them to enable them to participate in the bidding by telephone and we do not accept liability for failure to do so or for errors and omissions in connection with telephone bidding. These telephone bids may be recorded at the discretion of Hindman LLC. Online Bids We will use reasonable efforts to carry out online bids and do not accept liability for equipment failure, inability to access the Internet or software malfunctions related to the execution of online bids.

Reserves Some lots in the sale are subject to a reserve which is the confidential minimum price below which such lot will not be sold. The reserve will not exceed the low estimate of the lot. Reserves are agreed upon with consignors or, in the absence thereof, the absolute discretion of Hindman LLC. The auctioneer may open the bidding on any lot below the reserve by placing a bid on behalf of the seller. The auctioneer may continue to bid on behalf of the seller up to the amount of the reserve, either by placing consecutive bids or by placing bids in response to other bidders. With respect to lots that are offered without reserve, unless there are already competing bids, the auctioneer, in his or her discretion, will generally open the bidding at half of the low estimate for the lot. In the absence of a bid at that level, the auctioneer may proceed backwards at his or her discretion until a bid is recognized, and then continue up from that amount. Auctioneer’s Discretion The auctioneer has the right at his or her absolute and sole discretion to refuse any bid, to advance the bidding in such a manner as he or she may decide, to withdraw any lot, and in the case of error or dispute, and whether during or after the sale, to determine the successful bidder, to continue the bidding, to cancel the sale or to reoffer and resell the item in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, our sale record is conclusive. Successful Bid The highest bidder acknowledged by the auctioneer will be the purchaser. In the case of a tie bid, the winning bidder will determined by the auctioneer at his or her sole discretion. In the event of a dispute between bidders, the auctioneer has final discretion to determine the successful bidder or to reoffer the lot in dispute. If any dispute arises after the sale, the Hindman LLC sale record shall be conclusive. Title passes upon the fall of the auctioneer’s hammer to the highest acknowledged bidder subject to the Conditions of Sale set forth herein, and the bidder assumes full risk and responsibility.

AFTER THE SALE Buyer’s Premium In addition to the hammer price, the buyer agrees to pay Hindman LLC a buyer’s premium and the applicable sales tax added to the final total. The buyer’s premium for all purchases except via live online bidding is twenty-five (25%) of the hammer price up to and including $250,000; twenty percent (20%) of any amount in excess of $250,000 up to and including $3,000,000; and twelve percent (12%) of any amount in excess of $3,000,000. The buyer’s premium for purchases made via live online bidding is twenty-six (26%) of the hammer price up to and including $250,000; twenty-one percent (21%) of any amount in excess of $250,000 up to and including $3,000,000; and thirteen percent (13%) of any amount in excess of $3,000,000.

Non Payment If we do not receive payment in full, in good cleared funds, within seven (7) business days following the sale, we are entitled in our absolute discretion to exercise one or more of the following measures, in addition to any additional actions available to us by law: a.) to impose a late charge of one and a half percent (1.5%) per thirty (30) days of the total purchase price b.) to hold the defaulting buyer liable for the total amount due and to begin legal proceedings for its recovery together with interest, legal fees and costs to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law c.) to cancel the sale d.) to resell the property publicly or privately with such terms as we find appropriate, to resell the property at public auction without reserve, and with the purchaser liable for any deficiency, cost, including handling charges, the expenses of both sales, our commission on both sales at our regular rate, all other charges due hereunder and incidental damages.

At our option, payment will not be deemed to have been made in full until we have collected funds represented by checks, or in the case of bank or cashier’s checks, we have confirmed their authenticity.
