1873001314Hartford: American Publishing Co. Very Good book. "Eschol" & most other BAL 1st state points. 1874 1873cp. Early printing. Hardcover. VG book. 8vo xvi17-5742pp. Many in text illus & full page plates. Newly rebound in brown leather w orig spine labels. . According to BAL "AGE" just came on the market Christmas day 1873. Firsts Magazine vol 8 # 7/8 says it came on the market Dec 11 '73 and 12000 copies sold that year. BAL & Firsts Magazine both state the very first printings had "Eschol" on pages vii 27 247 and 355as does this copy. Eschol was quickly changed to Beriah. "Firsts" believes this corection nwas done in the 2nd printing. Very early copies also have the line repeats on pages 351 2 & 3. This copy DOES NOT have these repeats. But it has all the other BAL 1st state points. BAL also says the genuine tp also includes "White" as one of the illustrators and "Wm H Lockwood" is on the verso as does this copy. A variant tp contained neither White nor Lockwood. Not sure if these tp & cp points for the 1873 edition apply also to the 1874 edition. This copy is a very early printing. Fold out "SALT LICK" has been folded wrong but there are no tears. Tight no loose pages very nice inside. Just a few soiled or foxed spots.

190024490Cleveland Ohio: Warner & Swasey 1900. First Edition. Cloth. Good. First Edition. 2 36 leaves. 4to. 9 1/2 x 12 inches. Tan cloth with black embossed decoration and titling on the front board. Printed in black and white on recto only except for the title page the verso of which shows a view of the factory. Several tears and small blank chip in front flyleaf. Binding is very loose with the signatures detaching and in need of service. Evidence of ex-library status with spine lettering faded to illegibility ghosting on rear pastedown that indicates library pcoket etc. Front and rear flyleaf likely missing or the front glued down. Even withall the essence of the book remains which is a large format trade catalog and/or advertisement for Warner and Swasey highlighting their skill as craftsmen and engineers in this case in the field of astronomical instruments and their housings. Cloth. Ambrose Swasey 1846-1937 was an American mechanical engineer and inventor. With partner Worcester R. Warner he formed the company Warner & Swasey in Ohio. They are perhaps best known for their construction and installation of major telescopes and their mountings they built the Lick Observatory telescope mounting apparatus. The company was acquired in 1980 by Bendix Corporation. <br/><br/>"The number of leading observatories for which we have designed and made astronomical instruments affords us an opportunity to bring together a series of illustrations which we feel will not only be of general interest but also of service in showing the magnitude and completeness of modern astronomical equipment." <br/><br/>While noting the attempt to tell the current state of instruments we find a surprising number of views of building exteriors. In some cases the architects involved with the respective buildings are noted. Plate 1 shows the private observatory of the owners of the company both amateur astronomers and enthusiasts which perhaps accounts for their success in this field. <br/><br/>A useful historical document for those interested in the subject and/or restoration of existing equipment. Printed by Chasmar-Winchell Press New York and Pittsburg. <br/><br/>Not in Romaine or Davis and Dreyfuss. Warner & Swasey unknown books
