187893561878. Translated by Ellen E. Frewer. With Numerous Illustrations. London: Sampson Low Marston Searle & Rivington 1878. Original olive green cloth pictorially decorated in black and gilt all edges gilt. First English Edition of this tale in which the heroes are carried away through space upon the comet "Gallia" visiting much of the solar system. The cover but not the title page bears the sub-title "The Career of a Comet." In September 1877 George Munro issued a pirated wrappered version of this tale in their "Seaside Library"; a month later the Philadelphia firm of Claxton Remsen & Haffelfinger issued the first half of this tale in a clothÂbound volume. Then in November 1877 though dated 1878 this authorized Sampson Low edition in England and an authorized Scribner Armstrong edition were both published the entire tale not just the first half. This copy is in olive green cloth; we have also seen terra-cotta and light lilac-brown no priority. Condition is very good spine a bit dull; the volume has been recased within its original binding preserving the original endpapers reinforced at the inner hinges. This is one of Verne's most intriguing space exploration tales. Taves & Michaluk V016; Edwards 16. unknown books

1883106081883. A Californian Mystery. Translated by W. J. Gordon. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons n.d. 1883. Original aqua-grey cloth pictorially decorated in black. First American hardbound edition of this tale originally published the year before as L'ECOLE DES ROBINSONS. The New York Times panned this effort as cited in T&M: M. Jules Verne has never written books strongly marked with common sense; they have on the contrary offered unusual examples of the violation of all sensible ideas and the successful violation. But when it comes to Godfrey Morgan's trip around the world the submergeable steamer the plot to give him a taste of that Robinson Crusoe life of which he had dreamed the strain is too great. We are eager to be fooled but the fooling must have some semblance of art; it must not be bald imbecility. Jules Verne has no right to inveigle the public into buying such a book on the strength of his former novels; it is an abuse of the good-nature of the public. Scribner would not issue GODFREY MORGAN again. George Munro managed as usual to produce the first edition in English for his self-wrappered "Seaside Library" in January 1883; Sampson Low's British edition fully illustrated came out in March of that year followed by this Scribner edition from the British sheets in October. Whereas the British edition shows on its front cover Godfrey firing on lions and tigers from his perch inside a tree the Scribner edition shows Tartlet stumbling as he runs from a hungry crocodile. This copy is in aqua-grey cloth; we have also seen dark brown and light orange-brown no priority. It is a very good-plus copy with very light wear at the spine ends and very minor darkening of the cloth. Taves & Michaluk V024; Myers 29. unknown books
1975ess4641New York: Columbia University Press 1975. First Edition First Printing. Octavo lavender cloth hardcover xiv 514 pp. Former-owner’s published review pasted to rear endpaper; otherwise Very Good with light foxing age darkened spotting neat former-owner stamps; in a Very Good mylar protected dust jacket with light rubbing to edges. From dust jacket: This book summarizes our present knowledge and understanding of the genetics of higher plants. Therer has been no book treatment of basic plant genetics in recent times and such a synthesis has been much needed. The focus in Genetics of Flowering Plants is on the nature and action of genes gene systems linkage systems and genetic systems. There are chapters on sex determination mosaicism aberrant segreation ratios multifactorial linkage translocation heterozygotes recombination systems and many other topics. The book concludes with a short but provacative discussion of the place of plant genetics in biology. Wherever possible the author relates the evidence of plant genetics to the findings and concepts in other branches of genetics -- microbial genetics and Drosophila genetics for example. The genetics of microorganisms has received much attention in the modern era. Although its conclusions have often been assumed to hold true in higher organisms this assumption is frequently unjustified. Plants on the other hand possess certain advantageous features as experimental organisms which enable them to reveal gentic processes common to multicellular organisms generally.
