Bird & Bull Press. 8vo. quarter leather over cloth covered boards leather label on spine. 131 pages. First edition. Limited to 140 numbered copies. There was a time when book collecting was big news. In the first half of the twentieth century some of America's leading financiers executives and philanthropists played "this book-collecting game" as A. Edward Newton called it and competed with each other for the finest books and manuscripts in the world. Their booksellers were no less newsworthy and one of the most astute knowledgeable and flamboyant of them all was Dr. A.S.W. Rosenbach of Philadelphia. Dr. R. as the press liked to call him helped to build some of America's greatest collections and his own library assembled from the treasures that he took home for himself rather than put into his stock still draws visitors and researchers from around the world. Dr. Rosenbach and Mr. Lilly: Book Collecting in a Golden Age is the story of one collector Josiah Kirby Lilly Jr. of Indianapolis and the books and manuscripts that he bought from Dr. Rosenbach. The story is told through the many letters that they exchanged and through the descriptions and illustrations of the books and manuscripts themselves. Though this book is the story of only one collector and bookseller it is also a microcosm of a great age of book collecting in which choices were made by booksellers and collectors alike that shaped the contents of some of the greatest research libraries of our own day.

Published by the Bureau of Biological Survey the pamphlet described the menace that "vagrant" cats were and presented with exhaustive directions the scematics for building a trap to humanely catch the said cats. The problem came with the follow-up explanation for how to get rid of the cats i. e. three alternate but equally barbaric methods involving carbon disulphide calcium cyanide and/or a body of water. The authors did warn the readers that the mentioned chemicals were "highly explosive and extremely toxic." In 1885 - 86 Congress established the Office of Economic Ornithology in the Department of Agriculture to study the migratory patterns and feeding habits of birds and to conserve their population to manage wildlife refugees to oversee predators etc. It would be renamed the Bureau of Biological Survey in 1905. Later still in 1940 several bureaus would be combined to form the United States Fish and Wildlife Service. U. S. Government Printing Office unknown books
