18964969New York: Bartlett & Company The Orr Press 1896. Octavo 20.5 x 14 cm. 97 pages. Date derived from Water Street address on title page. An extensively illustrated trade catalogue of heating furnaces and cooking ranges. Before the 1830s gravity hot-air furnaces were produced according to the specifications of individual buildings. The first mass-market manufacturer in the United States was Richardson & Boynton established in 1837 and in business for more than a century thereafter. The company survived the competitive surge in home heating manufacturers in the decades after the Civil War Fuller & Warren of Troy for instance also advertised as "the oldest house in the trade" introducing innovations in fuel source efficiency flue design cleaning access and model size - to say nothing of aesthetic appeal - at a surprising rate. The foundries and shop buildings occupied a double block in Red Hook Brooklyn; corporate offices 232-234-236 Water Street were across the Brooklyn Bridge in Manhattan. By the 1890s Richardson & Boynton were advertising themselves as manufacturers of multiple designs of furnaces fireplace heaters laundry water heaters cooking ranges stoves and kitchen appurtenances such as kettles urns pastry ovens and steam tables. Owing ostensibly to climbing tunnage and wharfage costs the entire operation decamped to Dover New Jersey in February 1896. Elaborate illustrations with equally elaborate cutaways; specification charts. A bit of chipping to head and foot of wrapper at spine otherwise very good in two-toned brown wrappers with gilt decoration. Pages clean and bright. Scarce. OCLC locates three copies of all other Richardson & Boynton cataloguesbut none of this issue; Romaine page 363 for other issues. Bartlett & Company, The Orr Press unknown books

Signed presentation from Mrs. Lucas on the front endpaper: "R. B. Richardson Oct 1918 from his pal June Richardson Lucas." The R. B.

Pages are otherwise very clean and clear. Binding is tight. Burgundy cloth boards with gilt spine lettering; red black and white dj mylar cover; xvi 312 pp. "Historians overwhelmingly have blamed the demise of Reconstruction on the South and on white Americans' persistent racism. Heather Cox Richardson argues instead that class along with race was critical to Reconstruction's end. Northern support for freed blacks and Reconstruction weakened as growing labor interests critiqued the economy and called for government redistribution of wealth." "Using newspapers public speeches popular tracts Congressional reports and private correspondence Richardson traces the changing Northern attitudes toward African-Americans from the Republicans' idealized image of black workers in 1861 through the 1901 publication of Booker T. Washington's Up from Slavery. She examines such issues as black suffrage disfranchisement taxation westward migration lynching and civil rights to detect the trajectory of Northern disenchantment with Reconstruction. She reveals a growing backlash from Northerners against those who believed that inequalities should be addressed through working-class action and the emergence of an American middle class that championed individual productivity and saw African-Americans as a threat to their prosperity."--Jacket.

191237320London: Taylor & Francis 1912. Offprint. Stitched paper wrappers. A very good copy with small tear on front wrapper wrappers browned. 263-278 pp. 8vo. From "Philosophical Magazine" February 1912 vol. 23 no. 134 . Owen Willians Richardson 1879-1959 would go on to win the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1928 for his work on the thermionic phenomenon and especially for the discovery of the law named after him. "The law for the discovery of which the Nobel Prize was specially given was first announced by him in a paper read before the Cambridge Philosophical Society on the 25th November 1901 in the following words as recorded in the published Proceedings: 'If then the negative radiation is due to the corpuscles coming out of the metal the saturation current s should obey the law s = AT1/2e-b/T. This law is fully confirmed by the experiments to be described.' Richardson continued working at this subject at Cambridge until 1906 when he was appointed Professor of Physics at Princeton University in America where he remained until the end of 1913 working at thermionic emission photoelectric action and the gyromagnetic effect."

Decorative gilt-stamped maroon cloth; extremities rubbed corners bumped small white circle on spine. Else very good. FIRST BRISISH EDITION. "The inn has played a large part in the domestic life of England down the centuries. Always intimately associated with the characteristics of the English people as a center for social life it still retains a warm place in their hearts. The story of the tavern therefore is associated with the tale of the road and English wayfaring life. Love of travel is a strong characteristic of the English race yet it co-exists with a feeling for home comforts and a desire to be reminded of familiar things. Thus it is from the earliest times that the inn in spite of its widened functions has at each stage of its development retained the piquant element of domesticity. The old inns of England are unlike those of other countries. The majority are genuine survivals; they are records of other times and customs and they have a symbolic value for the ordinary traveler. They are generally simple in character but many have undergone alterations and changes corresponding with each era of social progress. The inns of each period especially such as remain intact and unaltered could be described in any treatise dealing with the recognized phases of house building; collectively they present a subject for a monograph. . .
