187197507New Haven: Printed by Tuttle Morehouse & Taylor 1871. 1871. Good. THE FIRST APPEARANCE OF THE ESSAY "ON JUPITER AND ITS SATELLITES" BY THE FIRST FEMALE ASTRONOMER IN THE U.S.A. - Octavo 8-1/2 inches high by 5-3/8 inches wide. The contemporary brown calf and marbled boards are detached but present and the spine has perished and is thus lacking. The text block is intact and tight. 978 pages in all with the pagination as follows: Volume I: pages i-viii & 1-484; and Volume II: pages i-viii & 1-480. Pages 327/328 are skipped in numbering as published which collates with the copy at the Peter H. Raven Library at the Missouri Botanical Garden. The volume is illustrated with 3 plates including one folding as well as several textual illustrations. Although the title page to the second volume indicates the presence of a map intended to illustrate E.W. Hilgard's article "On the Geological History of the Gulf of Mexico" page 391 the map is not here present if it ever was included. The endpapers are foxed and there is some light soiling to the title page of the first volume. The edges of the first few leaves are lightly darkened with a tiny spot of dampstaining to the top edge of those leaves. A very good tight copy which would be well worth rebinding. <p>Most noteworthy is the first publication of Maria Mitchell's essay "On Jupiter and its Satellites" illustrated with a plate volume I pages 393-395.<p>The first American scientist to discover a comet Maria Mitchell 1818-1889 was the first female astronomer in the United States. Working as the librarian of the Nantuckett Atheneum Maria Mitchell read through the day and spent her nights with her father at the observatory he built atop the Pacific Bank. Her discovery in 1847 of the comet which came to be named "Miss Mitchell's Comet" brought her international acclaim. She was awarded a gold medal by King Frederick of Denmark and elected as the first woman to join the American Academy of Arts and Sciences the following year. Mitchell traveled throughout Europe after leaving the Atheneum in 1856 meeting with astronomers the world over. She became involved and active in the anti-slavery movement and the suffrage movement and was subsequently instrumental in the formation of the American Association for the Advancement of Women. After the Civil War Mitchell was recruited to join the faculty at Vassar College where with a 12 inch telescope then the third largest in the US she specialized in studying the surfaces of Jupiter and Saturn. She made waves by encouraging her female students to come out at night for classes and celestial observations and brought in noted feminists including Julia Ward Howe to speak on political issues. Continuously championing the advancement of women she gave an important speech entitled "The Need for Women in Science" during the 1876 centennial. Mitchell was one of only 3 women to be elected to the Hall of Fame of Great Americans in 1905. She was also inducted into the National Woman's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls New York. A lunar crater on the moon was named in her honor.<p>Also worth noting is Professor L. Respighi's essay "On the Solar Protuberances" illustrated with a folding plate volume I pages 283-287.<p>The Italian astronomer Lorenzo Respighi 1824-1889 was appointed appointed professor of mechanics and hydraulics at the University of Bologna. In that context his first works were mathematical and included a well-known memoir on the principles of differential calculus. Captivated by astronomy he succeeded Calandrelli as director of the astronomical observatory at the University of Bologna in 1855. After making observations on comets Respighi became director of the Campidoglio observatory in Rome where he devoted his attention to studying solar phenomena. His studies of the spectra of sunspots were particularly important as he observed the splitting of the absorption lines later described by Hale as the result of the Zeeman effect.<p>Henry James Clark's essay "The American Spongilla a Craspedote Flagellate Infusorian" illustrated with a plate is here published on pages 426 through 436 of volume II.<p>The American naturalist Henry James Clark 1826-1873 was a pupil of Asa Gray at the Cambridge botanical garden. He became an assistant to Louis Agassiz after graduating from Harvard and was professor of Zoology and of Natural History at numerous colleges and universities. From 1872 until his death in 1873 Clark was Professor of Veterinary Science at the Massachusetts Agricultural College in Amherst Massachusetts. He contributed to a number of periodicals and authored "Mind in Nature" 1863 and "Mode of Development of Animals" 1865. New Haven: Printed by Tuttle, Morehouse & Taylor, 1871. hardcover
194824809New York: Duell. Sloan and Pearce 1948. Cloth. Near Fine/Near Fine. A very interesting copy of the 1948 stated 1st edition with either a one-of-a-kind or at the very least a scarce seafood and cocktail-themed period dustjacket not only tied into "Old Mr. Flood" but even discussing the book on its front flap. Presumably this clean very well-preserved dustjacket was created and financed by the legendary Drake Family of Chicago's "Drake Hotel" fame which also promoted on the dustjacket itself several of its other hotels/restaurants such as the "Cape Cod Room" "Camellia House" the "Oak Room" and "coq d'or" which offers "choice cocktails in an intimate atmosphere". The promotional or trial dustjacket fits perfectly over the book as a second dustjacket and was undoubtedly designed with this in mind. A true curio and a wonderful piece of Joseph Mitchell ephemera. And finally as for the copy in question it's tight and VG with light offsetting to the endsheets and pastedowns. And its conventional dustjacket is sharp bright and easily VG though price-clipped and showing a band of light offsetting along the rear panel's top-edge. Duell. Sloan and Pearce unknown

1910003962San Francisco: Edward H. Mitchell 1910. Good. Sixteen sheets with eight postcards on each a partially-cut sheet with five cards remaining - a total of 133 postcards n. d. ca 1910; sheets - 14 1/2 x 11 1/2 cards - 3 1/2 x 5 1/2; only two sheets are duplicates; condition varies - from very good or better with light wear to edges to fair - with chips some spotting and a few pieces of tape to verso. A highly-unusual collection of early divided-back Mitchell postcards they came on the original sheets Edward initially produced. Edward H. Mitchell 1867 - 1932 was arguably the most prolific and one of the earliest publishers of postcards in the West. The ultimate businessman he also owned and operated oil well leases real estate etc. He would also be remembered for developing his postcard business into an all-American industry unlike most other publishers who had their lithography done in Germany. Proudly adding the imprint "Printed in the United States" Mitchell was known for fondly saying: "We were the first lithographing establishment in the country to give our workmen an eight-hour day and did it of our own accord.We pay our men as much per week as foreigners in the same line receive per month and further out money is paid to American workmen who spend it at home and keep it in circulation." His current collection encompassed the states of California Utah Washington and Wyoming and showed an astounding array of subjects including people at leisure and at work farmers loggers exterior and interior views of landmark buildings in San Diego Fresno Long Beach and Salt Lake City Amelia Palace Stanford University Tacoma Public Library natural wonders and so on.
