The third chapter and the longest chapter of the book includes architectural works with their attractive plans, hotels of the city in its period, hot springs, and important historical events in Bursa, etc. The last chapter is the Uludag chapter. Osman Sevki Uludag was a Turkish soldier, doctor (radiologist), medical historian, composer, deputy, writer. He was born in Bursa. He is the eponym of 'Uludag', where he reached the top by performing the first climb in the history of the republic in 1925. Osman Sevki Bey attended the travel of Members of the Geography Council which consisted of teachers, in Bursa in 1925. He made the first climb in the history of the Republic by climbing to the summit of the 2545 meters high Monk Mountain. He was impressed by the majesty of the mountain and suggested that the name of the mountain be changed to "Uludag"; When his offer was accepted, he was the eponym of the mountain. When the Surname Law was enacted in 1934, he has taken 'Uludag' as his surname. He published his researches on Bursa, "Bursa and Uludag", "Yesil Mosque" and "Monks and Dervishes of Uludag".

240 p. 12mo. Original white printed wraps, stained and slightly torn. Picture of nun on front wrap. The most popular of all American anti-Catholic works. Maria Monk (1816-1839) was a Canadian woman who claimed to have been a nun who had been sexually exploited in her convent. She, or ghost writers who used her as their puppet, wrote a sensational book (first published in January 1836) about these allegations. The original book later grew into a large series of related books and tracts. Monk claimed that nuns of the Sisters of Charity of a Montreal convent of the Hotel-Dieu were forced to have sex with the priests in the seminary next door. The priests supposedly entered the convent through a secret tunnel. If the sexual union produced a baby, it was baptized and then strangled and dumped into a lime pit in the basement. Uncooperative nuns disappeared. This sensational and salacious tale fanned the flames of Nativist, Anti-Catholic, and Know-Nothing passions into the next century. It was extremely popular and widely circulated. This late paperback edition is quite scarce. POPERY BOX 1

4to., First Reissue thus, with musical notations throughout, title and preface mildly browned; original brown cloth, upper board elaborately blocked with multiple frame border enclosing cross all in blind and enclosing title lettered in gilt, gilt back, red sprinkled edges, radial corners, very neatly rebacked in cloth to style, a very good, bright, clean copy. This first reissue of the 'old' edition was invoked by popular demand following the uncomfortable introduction of the New & Revised Edition of 1904. It reproduces the full contents of the best (second augmented) edition of 1889 including the supplemental hymns added at that date. A lovely copy of a nostalgic edition, preserving many traditional melodies and choral parts. Very scarce in anything like this condition.
