Otherwise a very good copy of this rare early nineteenth century American Methodist issue. This edition not in Baker Union catalogue 2nd ed. 1991 26 OCLC or CoPac. The only 1828 issue listed was from a New York publisher. ~SSS~ 1.0P A rare 1828 Philadelphia issue of John Wesley's 'extracts' from the fifteenth century devotional classic The Imitation of Christ. Anglican cleric and theologian John Wesley 1703-1791 who with his brother Charles and fellow cleric George Whitefield founded Methodism made a full translation of The Imitation from Latin to English in 1735 as one of his first published works. After the birth of the Methodist movement in 1738-39 Wesley produced this greatly abridged version entitled 'An Extract of the Christian's Pattern' first printed in 1741 and reprinted dozens of times thereafter in mostly tiny pocket-sized editions like this most of which did not survive heavy devotional use by adherents and are therefore rare today in the market. Wesley produced four different editions of Kempis’s work and considered it indispensable in achieving true religion of the heart. The Imitation of Christ was written or at a minimum transcribed by Catholic monk Thomas a Kempis circa 1380-1471 as four separate books completed between 1420 and 1427 at Mount Saint Agnes monastery in the town of Windesheim located in what is now the Netherlands. He wrote these works for the instruction of novices of his Augustinian monastic order followers of Geert Groote's Brethren of the Common Life. But the writings quickly became popular among all the literate faithful. They were copied together in one manuscript as early as 1427 by Kempis and copied and later printed together fairly consistently thereafter. Soon after hand-copied versions of the Imitatio Christi initially appeared the printing press was invented and it was among the first books after the Bible to be printed. There is probably no other book other than the Bible which has been printed in so many editions and translations. 'Printed for the Publisher' [John Wesley / Methodist Episcopal Church] hardcover

1879422485Washington D.C. 1879. Very Good. Autograph Letter Signed by John Wesley Powell Director of the Bureau of Ethnology in Washington D.C. together with an accompanying photograph which he sent in 1880 to John S. Billings a surgeon and a statistician on medicine in the U.S. Army. The one page letter is written on "Smithsonian Institution Bureau of Ethnology" letterhead dated: "Ap. 27" 1880 and is addressed at the bottom to "Dr. John S. Billings Surgeon U.S.A. Army Medical Museum." Some water staining to the edges and related blurring to the manuscript text still legible and three-inch tear repaired with tape on the verso good only. The Albumen Print measures 9 ½ x 12 inches laid down on a cardboard mount 11 x 16". Contemporary manuscript caption in ink on the bottom margin of the mount: "3824 Photo. Tailed man" and on the back in French which identifies the photograph as a being from the Society of Anthropology in Berlin. Dated "Oct. 18" with "1879" inserted in pencil. Light soiling and toning to the mount with a tear to the top margin of the mount very good.<br /> <br /> The photograph of a tailed man which Powell takes "pleasure in sending" to Billings is an enlargement of the photo taken in 1879 by Surgeon-General Bernhard Ornstein chief physician of the Greek army. The original photo sent to the Berlin Anthropological Society sparked a decade-long debate about whether such protuberances were "atavistic tails" or "pathological protuberances."<br /> <br /> Powell was a celebrated naturalist and explorer who despite losing an arm in the Civil War led the first known passage through the Grand Canyon in 1869. When Congress created the Bureau of Ethnology in 1879 Powell was named its first director a post he held until his death. John Shaw Billings is best known as the modernizer of the Surgeon General's Library the nation's first comprehensive library for medicine. He also started Index Medicus a monthly guide to contemporary medicine that ran until his retirement at the Medical Museum and Library. A nice association. unknown

189343643Chicago: Charles H. Kerr and Company 1893. First Edition. 12mo 18.5cm.; publisher's white gilt-lettered cloth; 103pp. Cloth a bit soiled especially at spine with a few shallow surface scratches corners gently bumped else Very Good internally fine. Quite scarce collection of poems by a near-unknown poet. Despite the imprint the poems are inspired mostly by nature and Greek mythology rather than socialist politics. We find one contemporary review whose critic rightly strips the work of any literary merit stating that "Much of his work shows no idea of the meaning of words" providing as evidence the following line: "A dreamer fair and bland!" San Francisco Chronicle August 13 1893. Charles H. Kerr and Company unknown
