There are four illustrations: Portrait of My Father Cast in One Mould The Jester and Mountains of the Moon.

He studied for several years under the well known sculptor Gutzon Borglum and maintained a studio on Front Street. He became a noted artist. He published two books of poems "Verses" in 1914 and "A Forgotten Idyll" in 1921. Much of his best poetry was contributed to Harvard Class reunions and to the local newspapers especially during the period of the late War. He was elected to the American Antiquarian Society in 1927 and His will left trusts funds of nearly one million dollars eventually to benefit several Worcester institutions. He was married December 31 1919 to Myrtis S. Sigourney Harrington who survived him. Privately Printed hardcover

18721423941872. BACON J. The Theory of Colouring. Being an Analysis of the Principles of Contrast and Harmony in the Arrangement of Colours with Their Application to the Study of Nature and Hints on the Composition of Pictures. viii 58 pp. illustrated with 6 colour plates plus 48 pp. of advertisements for artists' materials. 8vo 183 x 120 mm bound in publisher's blue pebbled cloth stamped in blind title gilt on front cover a.e.g. London: George Rowney 1872. Second revised edition. A standard work of which Herbert says: "In the next generation of British writers one continues to feel a modern sense of color that is usually regarded as a prerogative of French Impressionists. The manual by Bacon stresses binary and triadic color harmonies unencumbered by the long disquisitions on aesthetics that mark most French treatises and its plates although in rather conservative figurative imagery show color opposites directly opposed and three color harmonies that look forward to Neo-Impressionism and Fauvism."

Sermones Fideles the Latin translation of Bacon's essays was first published in 1641 and this second edition has been completely reset. The text here consists of 62 essays. William Hazlitt remarked of Bacon "It is not easy to make room for him and his reputation together. This great and celebrated man in some of his works recommends it to pour a bottle of claret into the ground of a morning and to stand over it inhaling the perfumes. So he sometimes enriched the dry and barren soil of speculation with the fine aromatic spirit of his genius." Gibson 52a unknown

1911BIBLIO-32161Aberdeen University Press London first edition 1911. Cloth folio gilt devices on boards top edge gilt 36 cm. xi pp 924 columns. Approximately 8000 entries. The scarce catalogue of a superb collection of literature on all aspects of philately. The nucleus of the collection was that formed by John Kerr Tiffany of St Louis which the Earl of Crawford acquired in 1901. "Tiffany included in his collection all separate works journals retail and wholesale price-lists from the smallest to the largest notices of dealers and societies articles on stamp-collecting in non-philatelic magazines works on postal history and music with philatelic or postal titles. In fact he made it his object to obtain every scrap of paper from a single leaf to the largest volume which had any bearing whatever on philately and the Post Office in all languages and from every quarter of the globe." Crawford added substantially to Tiffany's collection and engaged E.D. Bacon to produce this catalogue on which he worked for 10 years the scale of his researches being evident in the numerous detailed annotations especially of the scarcer items. The most important sections of Crawford's British collection were later acquired by King George V. Covers slightly rubbed short tear to rear joint otherwise Good.
