1926LMMAGG002Boston: L.C. Page and Company 1926 Later printing originally published February 1908 of the first book in the author's Avonlea series. Illustrated by Elizabeth R. Withington. Inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper: "Second edition from / new plates made in 1925: / the old plates of the original / edition in 1908 being worn / out. With new illustrations. / L. M. Montgomery Macdonald / April / 1926 / cat illustration". Bound in the publisher's ribbed light teal cloth with gilt lettering to the front board and spine illustration of a woman's profile to the front board publisher's advertisements at the rear of the text. A very good copy with wear and light rubbing to the extremities bright spine spine cracked between the half-title and the frontispiece otherwise intact spine small piece of tape to the rear pastedown. Additionally inscribed with a former owner's provenance note to the front pastedown: "This book autographed by the / author was presented in 1948 to / Sister Mary Kathleen then superintendent / of nurses St. Michael's Hospital Toronto / by the author's son Dr. Stuart / Macdonald member of the / Staff of Obstetrics and Gynaecology sic / St. Michael's Hospital Toronto Canada. / To Franie / Affectionately / Aunt Amy / Dec. 13 1977". Overall a clean and attractive copy with strong provenance. The only signed Anne of Green Gables we have seen. After inscribing the book the author bequeathed this copy to her son Dr. Stuart Macdonald who presented this volume to the nursing superintendent at the Toronto hospital where he worked. In turn the nurse gave this copy to "Aunt Amy" who chronicled the book's ownership history in her inscription. Aunt Amy gifted this book and additionally inscribed it to Franie. Franie passed the book down to the step-mother of the most recent owner. The personal nature of this volume's provenance emphasizes the rareness of a signed copy of this title. The author's inscription relates to Elizabeth Withington's eight illustrated plates including one frontispiece. The earliest editions of Anne of Green Gables contain illustrations by W. A. J. and M. A. Claus. All three artists were painters working with a variety of mediums meaning their works had to be copied by printers for mass reproduction. By 1925 the printer's plates of Claus' work had been used to the point that they were no longer producing clear images. Rather than making new plates from the original Claus illustrations Withington created new original illustrations for the subsequent printings. Although the choice of illustrator was likely made by the publisher Montgomery's inscription which is accompanied with a small cat silhouette illustration implies she was rather fond of Withington's artwork. Anne of Green Gables is a story about a young orphan girl Anne Shirley who is sent to live on a farm on Prince Edward Island with a family who had intended to adopt a boy. Montgomery drew much of the novel's setting from her own childhood experiences living with her grandparents on the eastern coast of the island. Like her readers the author was quite taken with the jovial character she had created and wrote multiple sequels to this first installment of what would become a beloved children's series.

Archive of vintage treatments scripts and other ephemera from the 1962 film.<br /> <br /> Archive includes: <br /> <br /> Two carbon typescript treatment scripts by Jean-Paul Sartre one in English and one in French both dated December 15 1958 with annotations in Sartre's hand.<br /> <br /> An early xerographically duplicated draft of Sartre's voluminous three-part script a later reproduction made for internal use with copied annotations throughout. <br /> <br /> A working script used during the film's production with revision pages.<br /> <br /> A film program. <br /> <br /> Three telegrams a telefax and a letter regarding the release of the film the return of Sartre's treatments and script and a deposition reminder all from agent Paul Kohner to director John Huston. <br /> <br /> A copy of the 1984 posthumous publication of Sartre's script The Freud Scenario.<br /> <br /> Huston announced his intention to make a film about a young Sigmund Freud in 1958 and asked Sartre whom he had met on the set of his 1952 film Moulin Rouge to submit a screenplay. The partnership quickly soured however due to Sartre's refusal to shorten his script which had ballooned to the colossal 472-page script on offer. Huston and Sartre would meet in Galway but Sartre continued to reject the director's proposed cuts wryly noting "We can make a film of four hours in the case of Ben Hur but the Texas public couldn't stand four hours of complexes." The film was ultimately finished and released in 1962 and although many elements of Sartre's script remain in the film the philosopher went uncredited. <br /> <br /> Set in Vienna shot on location in Austria and Germany.<br /> <br /> French Treatment:<br /> <br /> Salmon untitled wrappers.

1936187103Naini Tal: privately printed 1936. A granular record of the First World War in East Africa and Persia First edition one of 30 copies only. These minutely detailed accounts of Colonel Routh's service form part of his War Memoirs of Eastern Campaigns a multi-volume continuously paginated series also covering his service in Mesopotamia and Waziristan. Written to share vital lessons learned in these theatres the memoirs are also invaluable records for military historians. Commissioned into the Royal Garrison Artillery in 1900 Routh 1882-1962 transferred to the Indian Ordnance Department in 1908. He served in East Africa 1914-16 Mesopotamia 1916-18 and in the final months of the war as Deputy Assistant Director of Ordnance Services for "Dunsterforce" and the South Persia Field Force. Fluent in Arabic Persian and Urdu he was an active member of the Royal Central Asian Society. Concerning East Africa Routh reproduces letters to the Director of Ordnance Stores in Simla quotes from his war diary and provides a special section on Smuts's advance in 1916. The Persia section analyses the inception of Dunsterforce comments on Dunsterville and his staff and explains how he drew on his experiences in East Africa to "visualize the cure for many of the anxieties now threatening to overwhelm the hopelessly inadequate staff attempting to administer the Force" p. 294. A 20-page section describes his dealings with the intelligence officer Gerard Leachman Sir Arnold Wilson and Gertrude Bell. The second part covers September-October 1918 when the two brigades at Bushire were organized to open a cart road to Shiraz on the Central Persian Plateau.

1911138111911. FIRST EDITIONS. Bound together in black buckram. Ex-library Scripps Institution for Biological Research. A compendium of Montgomery’s papers on cytology and zoology. Montgomery 1873-1912 was a distinguished professor and chairman of the Department of Zoology at the University of Pennsylvania. Although he only lived to age thirty-nine he was a prolific researcher and produced more than eighty papers between 1894 and his death in 1912. His work focused on cytology morphology and taxonomy though he also made contributions to the fields of phylogeny animal distribution and ecology.<br /> <br /> DSB describes his conclusions from the celebrated work “A study of the chromosomes of the germ cells of metazoa†included in this collection as “containing the essentials of the chromosomal basis of biparental inheritance . . . announced just prior to the rediscovery of Mendel’s laws of segregation and recombination. Despite what seems in retrospect an unimaginative and narrow interpretation it appears undeniable that the speed with which Sutton Wilson and others subsequently established the correlation with the rediscovered laws of inheritance was due in large measure to Montgomery’s masterly analysis – not the least aspect of which was its clarifying terminology.â€<br /> <br /> The papers herein contain other considerable contributions. In addition to Montgomery’s work which was basic to the theory of sex determination other papers “brought order to the rather chaotic views of the nucleolus by clearly distinguishing “chromatin nucleoli’ among which were the heterochromosomes from the plasmosomes or true nucleoli. Noteworthy in his 1911 paper was Montgomery’s confirmation of observations on fixed material by examining cells teased out in a physiological fluid. This degree of sophistication was not attained by other cytologists for nearly two decades†DSB.<br /> <br /> DAB XII pp. 99-100; DSB IX pp. 495-497; Hughes A History of Cytology p. 84<br /> <br /> Papers include:<br /> “A study of the chromosomes of the germ cells of metazoa.†Offprint from the American Philosophical Society January 1901. 4to. pp. 154-236.

1936167956Naini Tal: privately printed 1936. I was able to visualize the cure for many of the anxieties now threatening to overwhelm the hopelessly inadequate staff First edition of this scarce minutely detailed account of two important and underreported campaigns to protect British interests from German influence in Persia and Afghanistan written by an intelligent and observant officer. We have traced a single institutional copy only Imperial War Museum. Commissioned into the Royal Garrison Artillery in 1900 Colonel Routh 1882-1962 subsequently served in India transferring to the Indian Ordnance Department in 1908. He served in East Africa 1914-16 Mesopotamia 1916-18 and in the final months of the war as Deputy Assistant Director of Ordnance Services for "Dunsterforce" and the South Persia Field Force. His distinguished military career in India ended on his retirement in 1936. Fluent in Arabic Persian and Urdu he was an active member of the Royal Central Asian Society. These two parts belong to Routh's War Memoirs of Eastern Campaigns a multi-volume continuously paginated series also covering his service in East Africa Mesopotamia and Waziristan. In the first concerning Dunsterforce Routh analyses the inception of the campaign comments on Dunsterville and his staff and explains the changing operational role that required his logistical expertise: "Dunsterville a fine Russian scholar of the Indian Army arrived in Basra en route to North Persia in Jan. 1918. His choice of staff had naturally fallen mainly on Colonials whose ribbons indicated a high degree of gallantry but complete ignorance of the east and its tongues and methods of working. There were so many points of similarity with my past campaign in East Africa that I was able to visualize the cure for many of the anxieties now threatening to overwhelm the hopelessly inadequate staff attempting to administer the Force. Knowing Persia and the Persians it seemed to me that an urgent need was an organized system of equipping the growing military personnel" pp. 292-4. In his narrative of operations an appealing 20-page section "Circumstances leading up to the appointment of D.A.D.O.S." describes his work in Persia with the intelligence officer Gerard Leachman Sir Arnold Wilson and Gertrude Bell. "It was one of Miss Bell's foibles to despise the shallow soldier in his superficial outlook on life" p. 327. Part II on South Persia covers September-October 1918 when the two brigades at Bushire were organized to open a cart road to Shiraz on the Central Persian Plateau. Routh recounts the ordnance situation on his arrival and provides extracts from his diary and other materials. Octavo 239 x 157 mm. With 3 mounted folding mimeographed maps 2 with hand colouring tipped-in letterpress form for local purchase of stores; tables in text. Original brown cloth recently rebacked and re-cornered in dark half calf front board with title in gilt on red label cream endpapers.
