CLAVIGERO, D. Francesco Saverio.
The History of Mexico. Collected from Spanish and Mexican Historians, from Manuscripts, and Ancient Paintings of the Indians. Illustrated by Charts, and Other Cooper Plates. To Which are Added, Critical Dissertations on the Land, the Animals and the Inhabitants of Mexico. Translated from the Original Italian by Charles Cullen, Esq.
London: C.G.J. and J. Robinson, 1787. In two volumes. First edition in English. 4to., full contemporary calf, leather spine labels, (2), (i)-xxxii, (4), (1)-476; (4), (1)-463, (464)blank. Name on titlepage of each volume, some foxing throughout affecting some plates but not severely, the outer front hinges of both volumes are badly cracked but holding (very tender), some chipping to the heads of the spines but certainly a very good copy of this important work.
Clavigero, a Jesuit, spent thirty years researching the archeology and antiquities of Mexico. This title, which was originally published in Italian in 1780-81, is a veritable mine of important historical documents and includes list of others found in the Vatican, Mendoza, and Boturini collections. According to Hill, all other books on the same subject have magnified the importance of Clavigero's book, rather than superseded it. This edition was "a landmark contribution to eigteenth century knowledge about Mexico." (Hill).

COBB, Humphrey.
Advance Copy of a Novel (As Yet Untitled). [Paths of Glory.] New York: Viking, 1935. Advance Uncorrected proof of 'Paths of Glory.' 8vo., orig. printed cream wrappers. Spine slightly browned with creasing o/w a very nice example of this proof. The publishers' blubs on the upper wrapper advertises a contest asking readers to submit titles for Cobb's novel. 'The Viking Press will pay $50 for the best title submitted on or before April 10, whether it is used or not.' The information includes names of the judges, terms of use of the title, and states that only 500 proofs will be distributed--although the add 'your copy may be passed on to other readers, and each reader may submit a title.' The publisher urges contestants to submit titles that are 'arresting, appropriate, original, easy to remember, and should not give such information as to lessen the reader's interest in the conclusion of the story.' According to a piece in the New York Times (April 23rd, 1935), the winning title was announced as 'Day of Glory'. However, the article indicates that the name 'may be changed' as 'the Book Club is not entirely satisfied with it.'
