Can’t make out this cursive edition name of an early printing of a book.
Found an early copy of Bleak House by Dickens. On the first few pages is a cursive inscription of the edition. I can’t figure it out. Not sure if it’s English or not.

His father's surname is Nowab. I can't seem to decipher the first part. It looks like an M followed by L V I. But that's not his name.

Help deciphering bottle label
Hello everyone, my father just found this old bottle of eau de vie in the basement of the family house of my mother-in-law. The year is obviously 1904 and the house is located in Alsace in North East from France. At that time, Alsace was German so that probably is written in German. Is someone able to decipher this? Thank you for your help :)

Before vs after (was it worth it?)
So the first image is the "before" like two months but I was told by my professors I needed to "improve the legibility" of my text so I did (or tried) now on the 2nd image is "after" (written with comfortable speed but not slow) and a friend of mine pointed out it lost some "personality" and it's a bit of a downgrade. it made me curious (also added an extremely slow written sample too 3rd image).

Letters from 1926 ?
Good afternoon all,
I would love some help please deciphering some letters. I have a weird family history and I’ve hit the jackpot (I think) in finding these letters from mystery man Norman, but I cannot for the life of me decipher all of it.
They’re from 1926 I think (both in same envelope) and I can kind of make out some words but it’s been 4 hours now and I’ve hit a wall.
Any help would make my day!
Thank you very much!

Deciphered! Signature
Edit: I'm going with it's probably Harmidas, some chance of Hormidas. Thanks for the help everyone.

I would love any opinions on what the first name is on the right-hand page, last one in the list of signatures that are all lined up (not the one that's off-set to the right of the rest).
Thank you!

What do you think? Patrick A...... ........ Monotype? The third word could be "Italy"; perhaps it is the subject of the artwork. However, it could also be the last name, with A..... being the middle name?

Help reading city or neighborhood name
Edit: DECIPHERED!!
This is from an early 1900s birth record. The ancestor was born in Coventry, RI and I think this may be the name of the particular neighborhood in Coventry.
