ADAMS, Henry, ed. Documents Relating to New-England Federalism 1800-1815. Boston: Little, Brown, 1877. Octavo. The great historian's collection of documuments and correspondence pertaining to this contentious period of American political history: the death throes of Federalism as a national party ideology manifested in New England as seccesionist fervor. This copy belonged to Adam's protegé and lifelong friend, politician and historian Henry Cabot Lodge, with notation to that effect in Lodge's hand. Lodge had just dealt with the same controversies in his own Life and Letters of George Cabot, which Adams cites in his preface. The date of the presentation -- Dec. 20th, 1877 -- is two days earlier than the inscription BAL reports examining at the New York Public Library. Adams and Lodge co-edited the North American Review (1874-76) and contributed chapters to the volume Essays in Anglo-Saxon Law. Free front endpaper detached, else a clean fresh very good+ copy in brick cloth-covered boards, housed in a cloth-covered clamshell box, with leather label. An extraordinary association copy.

ADORNO, Theodor W. Kierkegaard. Konstruktion des Ästhetischen. Tübingen: J. C. B. Mohr, 1933. Large octavo, 165pp. First edition of Adorno's first book, his Habilitationsschrift. Adorno is among the greatest philosophers of the Twentieth Century, and one of its most extraodinary writers. We have heard his immortal Minima Moralia (1951) described by one deeply sensitive reader as "the most beautiful book ever written," a sentiment endorsed by not a few others. A very good copy in publisher's printed wrappers with minor wear and tear. Inscribed by Adorno on the title page, 1933, "Herrn Juszher(?) Als Zeichen treuer Verbundenheit. T. W-A. Januar 1933."
