European Russia

267847Map. Pen and ink with watercolor. Sheet measures 8.75 x 7". This minimalist schoolgirl and schoolboy manuscript map depicts European Russia. Although unlabeled the region is easily identifiable. The Black Sea and the northern half of the Caspian Sea are included near the bottom of the map. Covers the modern day nations of Ukraine Russia Belarus Lithuania Latvia Estonia Finland and parts of Poland and Sweden. The eastern boundary is placed along the Ural Mountains. The map is in good condition with minor wear along the original centerfold and some foxing. An image of a skull is drawn in pencil at the center of the map.This map dates to circa 1880 and was most likely made by a student or apprentice as training in geography drafting and penmanship. Manuscript map-making was a useful educational tool in the 19th century a period of imperialism and increased world trade in which geography grew significantly as a field of study. In the United States and northwestern Europe reform movements that sought to improve the quality and accessibility of childhood education pushed for the inclusion of geography in school curricula. One common method of teaching was the making of manuscript maps. Working from wall maps globes and atlases students were made to meticulously hand-reproduce maps in pen and ink and with watercolor. Such exercises not only provided a way to review and retain geographical knowledge but they also functioned as training in penmanship calligraphy and drafting. This map is a lovely document that straddles the line between art and geography. unknown books

The Woman's Doctor

193316207New York: The Macaulay Company. Good in Very Good dj. 1933. 2nd printing. Hardcover. ex-rental library book Vierstahler Bros. on Walnut St. city unknown marked by only a single stamp on the ffep some soiling to fore-edge and bottom page edges binding a little weak but no cracks or splits light shelfwear; jacket is edgeworn with small tears and a teensy bit of paper loss at several corners a bit of smudging/creasing in front panel moderate soiling to rear panel. According to the jacket blurb of this book -- "so startling so new that is is certain to make literary history" -- both men AND women would find out more about the mysteries of the female body than they ever imagined. "The secret side of womanhood most of it dark even to the women themselves is revealed under the searching kindly inquiry of the consultation-chamber and the relentless probing insistence of the operating-room." Despite the singular title the book is actually structured around the experiences of two doctors who eventually come into conflict when one is accused of having facilitated an abortion. The setting is specified as Toronto which is a tipoff to the identity of the author: one Sol Allen a Canadian writer whose 1929 novel "They Have Bodies" published in the U.S. under the name "Barney Allen" has been cited as an almost unique early example of modernist Canadian fiction. And interestingly he also published two novels later as "Sol Barney Allen" -- apparently his true full name -- that would appear to cover the same ground: "Toronto Doctor" 1949 and "The Gynecologist" 1965. There's an extensive glossary of medical terms at the end of the book which permits the author to avoid the use of "repellent terms." And speaking of relentless probing by the way: could anything be much scarier than that jacket illustration . The Macaulay Company hardcover books

Bourdonis et Mintonis. Pompa funerea et tristis crematio apud Universitatem Californiae celebratum a classe nonaginta sex Vicensimus octavus Aprilis MDCCCXCIII

1893002469S. l. Berkeley: S. n. 1893. First Edition. Very good. Leaflet; single sheet folded 8 1/2 x 5 1/2; pp. 4; printed and ruled in black; old intersecting fold lines; a bit of age-toning and wear to edges; illustrated with a picture of a devil over a coffin and a drawing of a coffin skull and bones; in about very good condition. In Dog Latin and English. A long-gone ceremony of UC Berkeley students the "Burial of Bourdon and Minto" was based on a similar tradition at Yale University. It was held annually from 1878 until 1903 and revolved around freshmen burning their textbook copies of Louis Pierre Marie Bourdon's "Elements of Algebra" and William Minto's "Manual of English Prose Composition." It also featured the ceremonial burrial of the ashes. Over the years the process became more elaborate and included a mourners' procession and a bonfire. When the festivities began spilling outside the campus onto residential streets and more and more often students became injured the university administration cancelled the ceremony. The current leaflet was the invitation to the event meant to be passed around among the students. Written mostly in Dog Latin it also included a poem in English part of which read: "Oh dog-eared and mangled Minto / Oh Bourdon our fated foe / You are lost and gone forever / Down to Hell's deep pit below."

Manuscript “Estimate Book" for an unidentified New York City contractor dated 1867-1873

30333small quarto 84 pages plus blanks entries written on lined paper in ink bound in half black leather marbled paper covered boards worn at tips of spine corners and edges of boards boards scuffed outside hinges of binding mostly open but boards attached text block good. Volume was printed by "R.C. Root Anthony & Co. Stationers Printers & Lithographers No. 16 Nassau St. cor. Pine New York." Front board contains paper label with "Estimate Book" written on it Includes index in front of book with names of 24 different individuals or companies.The first 84 pages of text consists of the "Estimate Book" of the contractor recording various contracts that he appears to have bid on given estimates and perhaps in some cases eventually secured the contract. Some pages have "entered" with a circle around it as if to say that this bid was accepted. Other estimates show changes or monies subtracted. After the entries for the contractor's estimate book there are two other sections with entries as well as a number of blank pages. Just after the Estimate Book there is a 5 page section of diary entries which are dated 1 Jan. - 3 Feb 1909 written in pencil and in a legible hand. At the rear of the volume there is another 5 page section which has one page written in ink the others in pencil and is dated 1911. It is unclear what the relationship of these two small sections to the larger contractor's Estimate Book. It's possible they are related but they differ in dates by forty to fifty years. These two smaller sections appear to be related. The first 5 page section is a diary presumably kept by a woman and she mentions doing seamstress work. The section small section of 5 pages is of accounts where the product being shipped is shawls. These sections also appear to have some sort of Philadelphia PA connection. Description of "Estimate Book"While the volume is not signed and the name of the contractor is not known the volume does include an index at the beginning and records 24 different contracts that our contractor either carried out or bid on. If he carried out a project and since the name and street is given of the property to be worked on it could be possible with further research in old newspaper databases to find out who built these "new" structures perhaps in the classified sections of the papers. Some of these projects were: M & S Steinberger on White St. where he repaired beams worked on flights of stairs ran ventilation to a water closet etc. J.C. Hamilton - Barclay St. where he put in steam pipes laid a floors hung wainscoting installed various hardware etc. He did considerable work for Hamilton covering over fifteen pages of this volume. Abbott & Fuller had some work done fitting up offices in the "Hamilton Building."One entry 6 pages long is for the "rebuilding of Apollo Hall 28th St. & B'Way." The theatre sat at 31 W. 28th Street near Broadway. The theatre was originally built in 1868 and was named Gilsey's Apollo Hall. In 1870 it was renamed the St. James Theatre. Its capacity was approximately 1530 seats. In its early years it offered lectures in the upstairs hall and musical entertainment in the main auditorium. When Augustin Daly's former Fifth Avenue Theatre on 24th Street burned down in 1873 Daly moved his company to the St. James remodeled it and renamed it the New Fifth Avenue Theatre where he continued as proprietor until 1877. It was this remodeling of the theatre in June 1873 that is recorded in this volume. The entire estimate for remodeling by this contractor came to $19939.94. This theatre was the first theatre to introduce air conditioning. It was destroyed by fire in 1891 and finally demolished in 1939.In an entry from June 1868 our contractor bids on construction of five new houses at the corner of 52nd Street and 8th Avenue for a Mr. Walton. The estimate is laid out over five pages with a total cost to be $29352.15. At about this same time our contractor bid on another five house project this time for a Mr. Edward N. Saylor Jr. totaling $34789.00. Messrs. L.W. & T.M. Andrews also had a contract taken out for four houses on 42nd Street between 5th & 6th Avenues two large houses $20789.26 and two smaller houses $12761.56. Another project he appears to have bid on was the Gilsey Hotel at the corner of Broadway and 29th Street coming in at an estimate of $32750.00. It is unclear if he was the eventual contractor on the job. The building still exists today and is on the historical register.All of these estimations give the amount of lumber and other material needed as well as labor costs by the day. Sometimes the contract appears to show either the material cost separately or combined with labor. Other times labor is specifically separated out. Some bids were updated or stated to have been "entered." books

Sucker you believed it. They don't give a damn. They enjoy their war-profits. You suffer." WWII Nazi propaganda leaflet aimed at American troops

1944140939216No Place: No Publisher 1944. Single thin sheet; 4.8" x 7" leaflet printed in red and black. Verso numbered S W 3. Text in English. Very Good folded in fours tiny tear in top edge at fold. An illustrated WWII psychological warfare pamphlet from the Nazi German government aimed at American soldiers in a slightly warped attempt at vernacular English. The recto features an illustration of city life in America a man and a women merrily strolling through a city past one of the ubiquitous "Uncle Sam Wants You" American propaganda posters of the time with a caption and verso that are meant to appeal to US soldiers' political cynicism and skepticism about American elites' motives. The strolling couple are meant to be some of the "Friendly Folks back home those who stimulated the big war boom eager to collect the prosperous profits." The reader is informed "Your job is easy; You just got to die to fill their pockets." The stilted attempts at slang coupled with the irony of the Nazi government attempting to appeal to Americans' pacifism and anti-elitism make this an entertaining psywar pamphlet that showcases various difficulties of getting inside one's enemies' heads and amplifying their doubts.

A Late Letter from a Solicitous Mother to Her Only Son both living in New-England. The Eleventh Edition. Bound with: A Letter from a Father to His Son in Answer to Queries Respecting the Struggles of Sin in the Mind of a Believer; Whether he be in a State of Grace While Under the Struggles and Combats of Sin.

179820048Newburyport: Printed by Angier March 1802 & 1798. Two pamphlets stitched together into contemporary unbleached heavy cartridge paper 8 x 5 inches 14 2; 18 pages. The second title is completely untrimmed. Stated eleventh edition of the first title; first edition of the second. "Therefore my child as a good soldier of Jesus Christ gird up the loins of your mind." The first title was originally published in Boston in 1746 and seems to have been something of an evergreen bit of piety; it was relatively soon after this that it was picked up as an American Tract Society title. This edition concludes with two poems "The Advantages of Early Religion" and "Thoughts on God and Death." The somewhat more uncommon second title seems only to have been published in this edition; the tentative publication date is assigned by Evans. This copy of the Letter from a Father is bound without the final three blank leaves. March was a fairly active printer bookseller newspaper publisher and circulating library proprietor in Newburyport. American Imprints 2504 Letter from a Solicitous Mother; Evans 33994 Letter from a Father. With the ink ownership inscription to the title page of the first title of Abigail Moulton a name seemingly common enough in Newburyport of that period. Wrappers a bit stained and worn; cheap paper of the first title browned throughout; in very good condition. Printed by Angier March books
