1869 Alice in Wonderland 1ed Lewis Carroll Tenniel Illustrated Fantasy Classic
"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is, because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary wise, what is, it wouldn't be. And what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?"
– Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
Lewis Carroll's landmark masterpiece, 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland,' was first published in 1865. This fascinating fantasy tale of a young girl falling down a rabbit hole, is surely one of the most iconic pieces of literature for all time. It has been adapted into many different versions of film, most notably by Disney in 1951.
A first edition "Alice in Wonderland" featuring forty-two of Tenniel's bizarre, cartoon illustrations. Tenniel's illustrations are often considered the best of the 'Alice' illustrations. This very early printing is scarce and highly desirable!

"What is it which all men especially desire? Eternal life and happiness?" ¬
– James Ussher
James Ussher was an early 17th-century Archbishop in the Church of Ireland who is most remembered for giving an exact date to the beginning of creation. His full body of work includes letters, sermons, dissertations, and exegesis but this work focuses solely on improving the Christians life and strengthening their faith.
One of Ussher's lesser-known books was his 'Power Communicated by God to the Prince. This work, which was dedicated to Charles II of England, seeks to answer the question 'Where does a magistrates power come from - from Heaven or from Men?'. Ussher notes the church's inherent power over ecclesiastical governments, but also the conflicts that come from a power struggle between church and external governments.
This first 1683 first edition is exceedingly rare and valuable. It was one of the important Ussher… Read More

"I live in a little cell, with a window that won't even close,
In which Boreas himself would not want to live."
– Martial, Epigrams
Martial was a 1st-century Roman poet from Spain most-known for his 'Epigrams.' This important, early piece of Roman literature expresses details of life in Rome focusing in on the brutal daily life during the Roman Empire. Martial describes living conditions of Rome, corrupt physicians and senators, cruel treatment of slaves, and secrets and rumors of emperors. Because of the style of Martial's writing, he is often considered the first insult comic, as he used humor to disguise his disdain for the life with which he was so familiar.
This incredibly rare and valuable 1517 post-incunable edition of Martial was published by the famed Aldine printing house.
