Originally published (in French) under this title in the first decades
of the 18th century (exact date unknown, 1715-1735), there has
long been controversy as to whether major parts of the story were
plagiarized from an earlier author. It has become a classic that has
been reprinted dozens, if not hundreds, of times. George Washington
is known to have owned a copy. This is the story of a man born into
poverty, who makes some bad choices early in life, but manages to
get on the “straight and narrow,” and through honesty and hard work
retires to a castle to enjoy the fruits of his labors. The “American story!”

Stewart, Deceased.” Sold in ten sessions between March 23 and 31,

Born in Ireland in 1803, Alexander Turney Stewart would become one
of the (estimated) twenty richest men in United States history, with
an estimated wealth in 2012 prices of $90 billion. Stewart’s father died
when he was only three weeks old. His mother remarried a couple
years later and came to America with her new husband, leaving her
small son to be raised by his grandfather. His grandfather wanted him
to be a minister, but when his grandfather died when Stewart was
only 13, he went to live with a Quaker, Thomas Lamb. Lamb decided
the youngster should also receive some business experience, a fateful
decision. He went to work in a grocery, saving every bit of money he
earned. In 1818, he packed his bags for New York, with the $500 he
had earned in his pocket.
He returned to Ireland at some point between 1818 and 1822,
although not much is known of this period. He received a significant
(for the day) sum from his grandfather’s estate, and used it to purchase
Irish fabrics. He took the textiles to New York and opened a dry goods
store. As his business grew, Stewart built new stores, and is credited
with the first department store, the “Marble Palace” at 280 Broadway.
This multi-story building had full-length mirrors so women could
view all sides of themselves, the first “fashion shows.” Stewart also
developed the first mail-order business when he realized that women
from all over the country wanted to purchase his materials, even if
they could not get to New York. He also expanded the front end of the
business, building mills and factories to produce the goods.
As much as the business itself, Stewart appears to have been
genuinely interested in creating jobs - he employed thousands. And
at the time of his death, was building affordable housing for his Long
Island employees. He sent ship loads of food to Ireland at the height
of the potato famine [1845-1852], and promised employment to
anyone who came back to America on the ships. He also sent flour to
France during the Franco-Prussian War and money to the victims of
the Chicago fire.
With his wealth he also built up one of the finest art collections in the
world. But he and his wife, Cornelia Mitchell Clinch, had no children.
After his death, the art was sold and his business quickly went under
for lack of caring management.

643 Two Volumes of Illustrations, Some Erotic
Dutch Treat Club. The Dutch Treat Blue Book, 1940. Fortieth Anniversary
Number. (Censored) New York; Printed by the Beck Engraving Company.
Number 7 of 1191 copies. 12mo, printed paper over boards, pages
not numbered. Part of spine missing. Some toning and soil on boards.
Internally OK.
The Dutch Treat Club was founded in 1905 by Thomas Masson, an
editor of Life and Robert Sterling Yard, a reporter with the New York
Sun. These two rode the train together into town each day. A number
of other artists, writers, and generally creative folks had been meeting
informally for lunch for several years prior to this. They decided they
wanted a New York City club for the creative folks of the city. The
original eleven members included 4 writers, 4 illustrators, two editors
and a publisher. From the beginning, lunch was “Dutch” - each paying
his own bill.
The list in the 1940 edition is 14 pages long. In addition to the writers
and artists, there is even an explorer with the Natural History Museum
(Roy Chapman Andrews), a Farmer, Architects, Musicians, Agents, and
more. James Montgomery Flagg is listed in this edition (artist, famous
for his “Uncle Sam” figure), as is Lowell Thomas, Otto Soglow, Theodore
Roosevelt, Jr., Rea Irvin, and many others. Isaac Asimov was a member
later. This little volume gives their perspective on the world in midcentury.

Press, 1968. Paperback, 219pp. Light overall toning. The Introduction
explains that during the bombings of the second World War, two
manuscripts came to light in a hidden vault in a monastery outside
London. One, a diary, the other, a novel that appeared to be based
on the diarist’s life. They depicted a “lustful, orgiastic life of the English
nobility” and thus were immediately hidden again. They made it into
the hands of an historian in one of the great English universities, who
wishes to remain anonymous. He, in turn, gave them to Mr. Blackburn
to edit and publish, since, historically, they are important. This volume
purports to include some of both, providing one picture of life in
Elizabethan England.

Terms and Conditions
By registering and bidding in an auction conducted by Cowan’s Auctions, Inc. (“Cowan’s”), bidders (whether present in person, by telephone, by agent,
by written or telephone absentee bid instruction, or through a live internet connection) agree to be bound by these terms. These are the complete
and only terms and conditions on which all property is offered for sale. Cowan’s retains the right to bar any bidder from participating in any auction
and to exclude or reject any bid.
1) REGISTRATION. All bidders must register their name, permanent street address (no P.O. Boxes), and telephone number prior to the auction. Unless known
to Cowan’s, all registrants are required to present two forms of identification, at least one of which must include a current photograph. Bidders may be
required to present a valid Visa or MasterCard. By registering with Cowan’s or submitting an absentee bid form, an individual registrant authorizes Cowan’s
to obtain a copy of his or her consumer credit report and authorizes Cowan’s, at its sole discretion, to use the information contained therein to make
business decisions regarding the registrant’s participation in the bidding process.
2) ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS. Bidding on any item, whether in person, by phone, by absentee bid or via a live internet auction indicates the bidder’s
agreement to be bound by these Terms and Conditions for Bidders. Any right of bidder under this agreement shall not be assignable and shall only be
enforceable by the original buyer. The rights and obligations of the parties shall be governed by the laws of the state of Ohio. All bidders submit to the
personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in Ohio.
3) TERMS OF SALE. Announcements made the day of auction take precedence over any previous communication. The auctioneer reserves the right to
withdraw any lot at any time before its final sale and to reject any bid for any reason. The highest bidder for each lot acknowledged by the auctioneer
shall be the “buyer”. If any dispute arises as to any bidding, or between two or more bidders, at the sole discretion of the auctioneer, the successful
bidder will be determined or the disputed lot shall be put up again at the last undisputed bid and resold.
4) BUYER’S PREMIUM. (a) Buyer’s Premium for “Antique and Modern Firearms” auctions; the Auctioneer will collect and retain from the Buyer, as
additional commission, a premium equal to 17.5% the Sale Price of each Lot up to and including $200,000, plus 10% of the amount by which the Sale
Price exceeds $200,000.
(b) Buyer’s Premium for “Fine and Decorative Art”, “Modern Ceramics”, “American Indian and Western Art”, “American History”, “Fine Jewelry and
Timepieces” , “World at War” and any other specialized auctions; the Auctioneer will collect and retain from the Buyer, as additional commission, a
premium equal to 20% the Sale Price of each Lot up to and including $200,000, plus 10% of the amount by which the Sale Price exceeds $200,000.
(c) Buyer’s Premium for online, timed and other third-party bidding platforms may vary.
5) ESTIMATES AND RESERVES. Presale estimates are intended to be guides and may or may not reflect the ultimate hammer price of a lot. Cowan’s
retains the right to change estimates on any lot up to time of sale. A reserve is a confidential minimum price agreed upon by the seller of the lot and
Cowan’s. In the case of reserved lots, the seller has authorized Cowan’s to bid on seller’s behalf until the reserve price is reached. In no case will the
reserve be higher than the low presale estimate. Cowan’s standard house reserve on all property at auction is one-half of the low estimate.
6) WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS. EVERY LOT IS SOLD “AS IS”, without any representations or warranties by Cowan’s or the seller as to merchantability,
fitness for a particular purpose, condition or value of the property, or the correctness or completeness of the catalogue or other description of the
property, and no statement, whether written or oral, shall be deemed such a representation, warranty or assumption of liability. Cowan’s makes no
representation or warranty that the buyer of manuscript material, photographs, prints or works of art will acquire any copyright or reproduction rights.
Cowan’s does not guarantee the working order of any clock, watch, electronic or mechanical device. Dimensions given in the catalogue descriptions
may be approximate. All sales are final, with no returns or refunds.
7) DEFINITIONS OF AUTHORSHIP.
“By” or “Maker/Artist” — in our opinion, the work is by the artist or maker stated
“Attributed to” — in our opinion, the work is probably, but not definitely, by the artist or maker stated
“Signed” or “Marked” — in our opinion, the signature or mark is that of the stated artist or maker
“Bearing the signature (or mark) of” — in our opinion, the signature or mark is probably, but not definitely, that of the artist or maker stated

8) INSPECTION. Cowan’s does not warrant the condition of any item. Buyers interested in the condition of an item are highly encouraged to view the
merchandise in-person. Condition is always a subjective evaluation and final responsibility rests with the buyer to assess the condition of any item sold
by Cowan’s.
9) ABSENTEE BIDDING. Absentee bids are accepted via mail, fax, email and on Cowan’s website. Such bids will be posted with the time and date of
arrival, with ties being awarded to the earliest bidder. Absentee bids that are faxed or emailed to Cowan’s need to be in the office at least 2 hours
before the sale begins.
An absentee bidder unknown to Cowan’s may be required to submit a bank letter of credit prior to the auction, or, using a credit card, deposit with
Cowan’s a fee equaling 30% of the absentee bid.
All absentee bids are executed competitively by a member of the auction staff. The auction staff will try to purchase the lot for the lowest price
possible and will bid up to the amount designated by the absentee bidder only if necessary. Cowan’s does not accept “buy bids,” or absentee bids
which have no limit. In the event of a tie bid between a floor and an absentee bidder, the floor bid will be honored.
10) BIDDING INCREMENTS. The following increments are used at the auction. Absentee bids must fall within these increments. Cowan’s will automatically reduce any
absentee bid to the closest increment if the bid falls outside the published range of increments.
For Bids Falling Between Bidding Increment
$0-500 $25
$501-1,000 $50
$1,001-3,000 $100
$3,001-5,000$250
$5,001 and up
$500 or at the discretion of the auctioneer
Cowan’s reserves the right to modify increments at any time during the auction.

COWAN’S DISCOVERY: LIVE SALESROOM AUCTION
AFTER THE AUCTION
11) BUYER’S RESPONSIBILITY. Upon the fall of the hammer, title to the offered lot shall pass to the buyer and the buyer immediately (a) assumes full risk
and responsibility for the lot, including liability for loss or damage and (b) is liable for payment of the Purchase Price (as defined below) to Cowan’s. It
is the buyer’s responsibility to ask specific questions on condition related concerns prior to the auction. Cowan’s will not rescind sales with buyers that
have disputes regarding firearm’s bore condition.
12) PURCHASE PRICE AND PAYMENT. The discounted “Purchase Price” for each lot shall equal the hammer price, buyer’s premium, sales tax and, if
applicable, all packing, handling, insurance and shipping costs. Payment may be made with cash, personal or traveler’s check or credit card. Cowan’s
reserves the right to hold a purchased lot until a check has cleared.
A convenience fee of $15.00 will be assessed to all transactions made in the alternate payment channels: Phone payments are made available as a
convenience outside Cowan’s Auctions customary payment channels, therefore these payments are qualified as payments made in the alternative
payment channel. All forms of payment made using this method will be assessed the convenience fee. Please call Cowan’s Auctions if you have any
questions regarding this policy.
PLEASE NOTE: A surcharge of 2% will be assessed to all credit card transactions. This surcharge is not greater than our cost of acceptance.
Buyers who are present at the auction must pay the full Purchase Price at the time of the sale. Buyers who bid by telephone or who are absentee
bidders will be invoiced within 5 days after the close of the auction and must pay the full Purchase Price for each purchased lot within 14 days after the
date of the auction. By signing the absentee bid form or placing a bid by telephone, an absentee bidder authorizes Cowan’s to charge the Purchase
Price for each lot for which such bidder is the successful bidder to the credit card number provided by telephone or on the absentee bid form, unless
payment in full or alternative payment instruction is received within 14 days after the date of the auction. No property will be released by Cowan’s
unless the Purchase Price has been paid in full.
Institutional billing may be available, and should be arranged prior to the auction.
Cowan’s may impose late charges of 1.5% per month (or the highest interest rate allowed) on any amount owed to Cowan’s that remains unpaid after 30
days. Buyer shall be liable for any collection costs or attorney’s fees incurred by Cowan’s to collect payment, to the extent permitted by law.
13) SALES TAX. Buyers are required to pay any applicable state and local sales tax.
14) SHIPPING. At the request of the buyer, Cowan’s will authorize the shipment of purchased items usually within two weeks after payment has been
received. Shipment is generally made via UPS or Fed-Ex Ground. Unless buyer gives special instructions, the shipping method shall be at the sole
discretion Cowan’s Auctions. Cowan’s is in no way responsible for the acts or omissions of independent handlers, packers or shippers of purchased items
or for any loss, damage or delay from the packing or shipping of any property.
ADVICE TO INTERNATIONAL BUYERS. Cowan’s will not ship any package containing a firearm to any location other than within the United States. Buyers
outside the United States must make their own shipping arrangements taking full risk for the transportation of any firearm.
Property made of or containing certain plant or animal materials, such as coral, crocodile, ivory, whalebone, baleen, tortoiseshell, etc., may require a
license or certificate before exportation from the United States and importation to another country. If you are purchasing items that contain these
materials, you need to check the government wildlife import requirements in the countries from which and to which the item is being shipped prior to
bidding. Since the export and import licenses are independently issued by the countries of origin and destination, obtaining one does not guarantee
that you can obtain the other. Purchasers are responsible for making timely payments on items won at auction, even if a license is delayed or denied.
15) SHIPPING CHARGES. Buyers are required to pay for all packing, shipping and insurance charges. Overseas duty charges are the responsibility of the
successful bidder. Be aware that for larger and/or valuable items, shipping charges can be substantial.
16) REMOVAL AND STORAGE OF PROPERTY. If purchased property has not been removed, or Cowan’s has not received shipping instructions within 21
days after the auction date, a $10 per item per day storage fee may be charged to the buyer.
17) CANCELLATION OF SALE. If purchased property remains in the custody of Cowan’s for a period of 60 days following the auction, Cowan’s may, at its
option, cancel the sale, retaining as liquidated damages any payments made by the buyer, or resell the property at auction or by any other commercially
reasonable means, for the account and at the risk of the buyer, and in such event, buyer shall be liable for the payment of all deficiencies plus all of
Cowan’s costs, including but not limited to storage and costs of both sales. This right of cancellation is in addition to any and all other remedies available
to Cowan’s.
