1922151941Chicago: The Reilly & Lee Co 1922. First edition of the second Oz book written by Ruth Plumly Thompson after Baum's death and the 26th Oz book overall. First printing with the elephant on the half-title and page 299 captioned "Princess Dorothy." Quarto original dark blue-green publisher's cloth with large pictorial paper onlay to the front panel the publisher's spine imprint with the "standard" ampersand illustrated endpapers printed in black all edges stained yellow illustrated with 12 full-color plates coated on one side only and numerous illustrations throughout by John R. Neill. Bienvenue and Schmidt pp. 103-104; Hanff & Greene XVI. Near fine in the rare first issue dust jacket with with titles listed through "15 Kabumpo in Oz" on the rear flap. The dust jacket is in good condition. Rare in the original dust jacket. In Kabumpo in Oz Ruth Plumly Thompson continues and expands the imaginative world established by L. Frank Baum while introducing a more comic and energetic narrative style. Published in 1922 as the twenty-sixth book in the official Oz series and Thompson’s second contribution to the canon the novel follows the adventures of Prince Pompadore and the Elegant Elephant Kabumpo as they undertake a quest across Oz and its neighboring kingdoms. Thompson preserves many of Baum’s central themes including friendship transformation and the restoration of rightful social order while placing greater emphasis on humor wordplay and fast-paced adventure. The character of Kabumpo whose wit and vanity distinguish him from Baum’s earlier companions reflects Thompson’s tendency to create more eccentric and theatrical personalities within the Oz universe. At the same time the novel maintains the utopian and escapist qualities that defined the original series reinforcing the enduring appeal of Oz within early twentieth-century children’s fantasy literature.

Some scattered brownspots. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this famous memoir in which Ampère presented his collected results on electrodynamics to the French Academy creating the foundation of 19th century developments in electricity and magnetism. In the words of James Clark Maxwell "We can scarcely believe that Ampère really discovered the law of action by means of the experiments which he describes. We are led to suspect what indeed he tells us himself that he discovered the law by some process which he has not shown us and that when he had afterwards built up a pefect demonstration he removed all traces of the scaffolding by which he raised it."The offered memoir was published BEFORE the famous "Theorie mathématique des phénomènes électro-dynamiques uniquement déduite de L'expérience" which did not appear until 1827. That 1827-Memoire incorporates together with a new presentation of Ampère's results from 1820 1822 1823 the offered memoir 1825. Horblit: 100 - Dibner: 62."From 1814 until 1820 Ampére did not perform the kind of research that would have made it into the annals of the histrory of science but on September 11 1820 when he heard Francois Arago speak about Oersted's work he got fresh inspiration and started the work that made him famous. Arago related how Oersted had found that a steady electric current influences the orientation of a compass needle. After a weak Ampère had determined experimentally that that two straight parallel and current-carrying wires execute a force on each other. The magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the distance between the wires and proportional to the strenghts of the current. During the following years he continued his researches both experimentally and theoretically. he built an instrument for measuring electricity that later was developed into the galvanometer. Finally in 1825 he presented his collected results to the Academy IN ONE OF THE MOST CELEBRATED MEMOIRS IN THE HISTORY OF NATURAL PHILOSOPHY The paper offered."

1701ABC_48243Amsterdam 1701. Small 4to ca. 20 x 15 cm. Nicolas Chevalier Contemporary limp vellum with the manuscript title on the spine and a paper shelf mark label at the foot. With a general title and 2 divisional titles for ad 6 and ad 11 all with a woodcut vignette further with 2 hand-coloured engraved maps 1 folding engraved plate and several woodcut initials. 12 parts in 1 volume. 134 pp. Collection of very rare pamphlets and printed letters published under a collective title on the actual political circumstances of Northern Europe in the years 1699-1701 especially in connection with the death of the Spanish King Charles II born in 1661 in 1700 leading to the War of the Spanish Succession 1701-1714. The work includes 2 maps of Flanders and a folding plate of the Battle of Narva which took place on 30 November 1700. Although the pamphlets and letters were printed separately the present collection appears to be very rare as we have not been able to find any other copies with the same contents.Charles died childless. His possessions would go to one of his brothers-in-law: the French King Louis XIV 1638-1715 or the German Emperor Leopold I 1640-1705. Both had agreed already beforehand that they would divide Charles heritage to avoid disturbance of the European balance of power. In his last will however Charles had appointed the grandson of Louis XIV as his successor named from now on Philip V of Spain 1683-1746. The Treaty of The Hague affirmed this in 1701.

The vellum at the foot of the spine with a tear the boards are somewhat stained. The leaves are occasionally browned and foxed. Otherwise in good condition.l Cf.

19060008210AMHERST MASSACHUSETTS. Good. 1906. On offer is an outstanding collection of minute books records and ledger of a significant Women's Club that has been in continuous operation for well over 100 years. In 1900 Minnie Dana founded a club for women with a mission "To promote interest of the members in Literature Science Art and other timely topics of vital importance; to further social relations among its members; and to contribute to the welfare of the community" Thus began the Thursday Club a club that operates to this day well over a century later. The meetings focused on an eclectic range of subjects and members were expected to speak on a wide variety of topics. These topics included biographies the suffrage movement the effects of industrialization a trip to Hawaii Shakespeare History taking care of the feeble minded etc. It is clearly evident that these were well-educated women who were engaged in the world around them. Each journal follows a consistent format with the exception of the last one - it is a Treasurer's Report and ledger book. The first journal covers a time period of 1906 to 1913. It contains a copy of their constitution and most importantly a listing of members. Each meeting followed a standard format: minutes of the previous meeting were read new business discussed and then the program for the afternoon. The report of the Dec 6th 1906 meeting included the topics addressed: 'Topics for the first part were "The Young Nation from 1787 -1815" and "Statesmen of the 18th Century" led by Mrs. Pomeroy who read a paper on the trials discouragements and victories of this. Mrs. Herbert Dickinson gave a sketch of the period life of Alexander Hamilton the youngest statesman of that period and Mrs. Pomeroy a short sketch of Benjamin Franklin the oldest statesman. The 2nd part of the program American Inventors and Inventions was in the charge of Miss Armstrong. Dec 6 1906 This was standard fare for these ladies as the following excerpts will show: Mrs. Gleason and Mrs. Hammond had charge of the program for the afternoon the subject being Later-day Crusades and Crusaders. Mrs. Gleason taking the life and works of Jacob Riis and Judge Ben B. Lindsey and Mrs. Hammond Booker T. Washington and Theodore Roosevelt. . Jan 16 1908 The program in charge of Mrs. Wales consisted of the reading of the first three acts of Shakespeare's play "Julius Caesar". The readers of the play were as follows . a number of ladies' names are then listed Nov 18 1909 The program for the afternoon Famous Canadians of the Twentieth Century in charge of Mrs Mary Pomeroy and Mrs. Albert Wales was then taken up. Mrs. Pomeroy . read an interesting paper on Sir Wilfred Laurier Gov Gen'l Connaught Dr. William Miss Kathleen Parlow musician of note. . Jan 4 1912 The second journal continues the record of meetings held in 1906 picking up in December of that year. The Mar 7th 1907 meeting tackled head on the uncomfortable topic of slavery. The notes record the discussion: . For 1/4 of a century before the War there was a controversy between North and South over the extension of slavery. The South feared the North would soon have large representation in Congress and abolish slavery . Mar 7 1907 The third journal covers 1915 and 1916 The program for the afternoon "Needle and Tongue" in charge of Mrs. Davie was then taken up. Mrs. Howlett played two selections on the Victrola. Mrs. Davie then introduced Miss. Ruth Henry of Amherst as speaker for the afternoon. While the ladies were engaged in various kinds of needlework they listened to a very interesting talk by Miss Henry on her life in Hawaii. . Dec 2 1915 The fourth journal also records meetings in 1915 and 1916 while the fifth journal covers a 6 year period from 1922 until 1928. The latter contains minutes of a number of annual meetings. These meeting offer many details about various members their roles and contributions and their finances. Club membership numbers indicate a healthy and thriving organization: About 100 Club members and three guests gathered in the Vestry of the Church for the Annual Guest Night of the Thursday Club Jan 11th. . p 129 The Treasurers Ledger Book is a detailed record of revenues received mostly raised from dues and a Penny Collection taken each meeting and expenses incurred in operating the Club. The expense listing shows that these women were well aware of issues and events far beyond their walls and include donations to the Red Cross China relief Boys Services and the Western Massachusetts Women's Club. This is an outstanding collection. Although they follow a standardized format the warm personalities of these women still shines through. Along with their weighty discussions there are references to needlework during presentations penny collections etc. They clearly illustrate the depth and breadth of thinking and interests of these women over a period of 100 years. These would be a valuable addition to any Women's Studies program. The continual listing of members by full name makes these very valuable for genealogists.
