Paper. Condizione: Good. First Edition. An Original Handwritten and Signed Letter by Viceroy of India Sir John Lawrence to Sir Henry James Sumner Maine. Dated 1867. A long letter discussing Lawrence extending his term as Viceroy of India and other matters. John Laird Mair Lawrence, 1st Baron Lawrence, 1811-1879, known as Sir John Lawrence, Bt. was an English-born Ulsterman who became a prominent British Imperial statesman and served as the Viceroy of India from 1864 to 1869. Sir Henry James Sumner Maine 1822-1888, was a British Whig comparative jurist and historian. He is famous for the thesis outlined in his book Ancient Law that law and society developed "from status to contract." According to the thesis, in the ancient world individuals were tightly bound by status to traditional groups, while in the modern one, in which individuals are viewed as autonomous agents, they are free to make contracts and form associations with whomever they choose. Because of this thesis, Maine can be seen as one of the forefathers of modern legal anthropology, legal history and sociology of law. Size is 230mm x 185mm. Condition is good. Light folding crease.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. This hefty large octavo volume, binding six monthly issues of the 19th Century magazine, is half-bound in cordovan leather over black pebbled boards, with original floral endpapers, the hinges holding well. Closes its own text block and would thus grade "very good," but we downgrade to "good plus" due to substantial wear and rub which has stripped the leather to outer corners. Notable primarily for Thomas Commerford Martin's 18-page essay on Nikola "Tesla's Oscillator and Other Inventions," with 15 illustrations including long-exposure portraits of Mark Twain and Tesla himself, each in Tesla's darkened laboratory, lit only by Tesla's incandescent and phosphorescent bulbs -- including photos of experiments in which lamps are lit "in free space by induction from coil below, energized by distant circuit around the room." This volume also includes a further three-page essay with engraved portrait or Hermann Von Helmholtz by Mr. Commerford Martin; a report with photos on the inventor Hiram Maxim's "New Flying-Machine," a complex and somewhat ramshackle steam-powered (!) construction which never seems to have actually gotten off the ground; Kate Chopin's story "Azelie" (illustrated by Eric Pope); Rudyard Kipling's nine-page story "A Walking Delegate"; comments on a proposal for "Forest Preservation by Military Control" from Frederick Law Olmstead, Theodore Roosevelt, Gifford Pinchot, John Muir, and others; a 19-page essay on John Paul Jones by Molly Elliot Seawell, profusely illustrated by Howard Pyle; the first two parts of Harriet Waters Preston's essay "Beyond the Adriatic," illustrated by Joseph Pennell (who also illustrated Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer's "Churches of Provence"); Mrs. Van Rensselaer's "People in New York," illustrated by Charles Dana Gibson; William M. Sloane's multi-part biography of Napoleon Bonaparte; a 14-page illustrated report on "New Weapons of the United States Army" to include the Krag-Jorgensen rifle with its side-loading magazine, the Ericsson torpedo and numerous coastal defense cannon of up to 12 inches (few of which, we feel certain, were ever fired in anger); a seven page "dramatic sketch" on "The Passing of Muhammad, Prophet of Arabia" in blank verse by Sir Edwin Arnold; Edith Wharton's poem "Jade," and, on the final page, a dialect poem by Paul Lawrence Dunbar. This bound volume weighs slightly more than 4 lbs. -- overseas shipment could be costly. 960 pp., here reduced from $1,275. Drawings by Howard Pyle, Joseph Pennell, Charles Dana Gibson, others (illustratore).…
