Octavo pp. 1-10 1-319 320-322: blank note: last leaf is a blank eleven inserted plates several double page with black and white illustrations by Joseph Clement Coll original green cloth front and spine panels stamped in gold. First edition. Protagonist awakens in a grim world of the future dominated by socialism and science and learns that legend has made him a kind of messiah. He leads a successful revolt against the establishment. The story first published in EVERYBODY'S MAGAZINE as a four-part serial June-September 1917 is one of the earliest American dystopian novels. "A more considerable work than is generally recognized despite the pulp adventure aspects. One can find among the author's ultraconservative values such Orwellian anticipations as omnipresent slogans euphemistic terms for horrible institutions the artificial language Spikisi the mechanics of thought control and the apparatus of the police state. While the book is a deutero-WHEN THE SLEEPER WAKES it is independent in detail and much Rousseau's best work." - Bleiler Science-Fiction: The Early Years 1922.

1980PW1630Cambridge:: Cambridge University Press 1980. 1980. 8vo. xiii 1 500 pp. Index; ink marginalia p. 266 minor pencil notes. Black gilt-stamped cloth dust jacket; jacket showing light wear. Very good. ISBN: 052122599x "The thirteen original essays in this book examine the status and development of the sciences in the eighteenth century. The last generation has seen a revolution in the methodology adopted by historians of science: The development of science is no longer described as a steady progress towards truth – certainties have given way to questions. The essays in this volume scrutinize these changing perspectives in historiography and recommend paths for future study. The eighteenth century has been a neglected and much-misunderstood era in the development of science all too often viewed as something of a trough between the towering achievements of the 'Scientific Revolution' and the nineteenth century. Yet it was a period of notable developments; it saw the establishment of such fields as electricity and heat the 'chemical revolution' the new science of gases the isolation of oxygen the nebular hypothesis in cosmology the foundation of rational mechanics and the birth pangs of biology geology and psychology. It was indeed an age when knowledge was in ferment." – Cambridge University Press. Cambridge University Press, 1980. hardcover books
