1680778London: Printed by M. Clark for Samuel Mearne in Little Britain John Martyn in St. Pauls Church-yard and Henry Herringman in the New Exchange 1680. Twelfth edition. Octavo;A6 B-Z8 Aa-Bb8 Cc3 Cc4; lacks the final blank leaf. This copy is bound in original boards recently rebacked. Bacon's Essays the fruits of his political and social observations were first published in 1597 enlarged in 1612 and again in 1625. His long attempt to reform the intellectual habits of the European mind began with the publication of The Advancement of Learning in 1605 which attacked the unprofitable scholasticism that inhibited the growth of knowledge and the mental prejudices that helped to keep men in ignorance. Above all he deplored the poor and confused state of knowledge about the operations of the natural world. Novum Organum begun about 1608 published 1620 called for a systematic study of the natural world and of the causes of things and proposed the inductive method as the most reliable instruments of enquiry. Bacon worked out the principles of the experimental method in this book and developed them in De Augmentis 1623. Sylva Sylvarum a proposal of 1000 experiments to be undertaken was published posthumously in 1627 together with New Atlantis a Utopian fragment written about 1617 that urged the foundation of a college for scientific research. A short book that enjoyed much popularity in his lifetime was De Sapientia Veterum 1609 translated as The Wisdom of the Ancients 1619 which tried to demonstrate that the myths of the Greeks were coded accounts of their knowledge of the physical world." Quoted from The Seventeenth Century by Graham Perry pages 264-265. Printed by M. Clark, for Samuel Mearne, in Little Britain, John Martyn, in St. Pauls Church-yard, and Henry Herringman, in the N hardcover

19168868Barbados Bermuda Antigua St. Lucia and other islands 1916. Very good . 7¼†x 10¼â€. Cloth over flexible thin card. 100 pages with 84 photographs pasted down. Most photos measure around 4†x 6†or 5†x 7†and three quarters are captioned. Very good plus: light overall wear; most photos a bit wavy with minor dark patches at edges where adhesive has bled through. <br /> <br /> This is a collection of vivid well-composed and neatly captioned photographs taken in Bermuda and several islands in the Caribbean. <br /> <br /> The album seems to have been compiled on a steamer trip and portrays a handful of white visitors and some apparent residents of the islands with a few hints as to their purpose there. Bermuda's the site for 16 of the shots; we see white women at “Mrs. Curtis' House at Sommerset†“Mr. Daws' House and Lilly Farm†the hotels “Princess†and “Frascati†and a local driver enabling “A Carriage Ride.†Five photos in Antigua reveal the “Lunatic Asylum†and “Lepper Hospital†as well as great images of natives amid a “Street Scene.†There are 28 shots from Barbados showing “School Children†natives on “Broad Street†“Cutting Sugar Cane†and “The Old Water Works.†We also see “Dr. Messiah House at the Hospital†“A Sunday Meeting at Mr. Manning's House†and natives assisting with “Mildred Bowler taking a Donkey Ride.â€<br /> <br /> Three of the eight photos at Dominic reveal a group “On Board the S.S. Caraquet†and there are lovely images “In the Rossau Valley†and “In the Garden on the Island.†The Caraquet was a Royal Mail Line ship sailing from the West Indies to Canada from the 1910s until it wrecked off Bermuda in 1923. Another image claims to show the “S.S. Guiana at St. Kits with Roosevelt on Board†a trip the former president made in 1916 which led to our date attribution. There are clipped images lauding the SS Vestris a luxury steamer that sailed from 1912 to 1928 shots of natives “Coaling at St. Lucia†views of “Monserat†and the “Island of Martinique.â€<br /> <br /> We think it's possible that these photos were taken by noted architect designer and world traveler Francis H. Bacon as the initials FHB appear in the corner of each shot. After graduating from MIT in 1877 Bacon worked on important archaeological excavations in Asia Minor and became the leading designer for renowned furniture firm A.H. Davenport and Company the namesake of the sofa. He also designed the shrine that holds the Declaration of Independence and United States Constitution in the Library of Congress. The American School of Classical Studies at Athens holds a collection of photo albums he compiled on his travels from 1895 to 1919 which included steamer trips to the Mediterranean Vienna Paris and London. Some of the images are online and while we didn't see any with an imprint that matches ours we did find an archivist's blog post that shared that Bacon's architectural designs were “easily identified by his signature initials: FHB.†We also note that Bacon bears a strong resemblance to a man seen in two of the present photos. <br /> <br /> A great collection of images from Bermuda and the Caribbean certainly worthy of and useful for further research. unknown

Rare<br /> <br /> <p>The Harvard-educated legal scholar Austin Tappan Wright spent many years developing his childhood fantasy of a place called Islandia into a utopian novel with worldbuilding to rival Tolkien's. "The author saw every view from its near detail of farms trees or gardens on to the horizon" writes his daughter Sylvia in the postscript to this book. "He knew what geological forces shaped its outline; he knew what winds were blowing and how the changes of season crept slowly over Islandia."<br /> <br /> <p>After Wright's death in a car accident in 1931 his widow and daughter began the ten-year task of pruning the manuscript into a publishable though still massive novel. The publisher's slip declares the book "one of the most exciting of our adventures in publishing." A 1942 Kirkus reviewer admitted that he expected to be "a trifle bored" but found himself deeply interested in the "well-rounded documented social studied country." Max Saxton who edited the book for Farrar & Rinehart was so fascinated by the work that he later wrote three sequels. Farrar & Rinehart Inc unknown
