141 p. Dampstain. Title page torn without loss. 165mm. Virtually disbound. This perhaps should best be considered a candidate for rebinding. First edition. "James Bradley Thayer (1831-1902) was a Boston attorney, legal scholar, and professor at Harvard University. He had business dealings with Emerson and was one of a party of twelve who, with Emerson, went in a private Pullman car from Boston to California, and travelled there for several weeks, in 1871. Thayer wrote a number of diary-like letters to his wife while on the trip which later formed the basis for this account. This book also contains the letter that Thayer had written to the Boston 'Daily Advertiser' in which he attempts to clarify the response to a recent (1883) Boston lecture on Emerson given by Matthew Arnold." - From a description by Riverrow Book Shop.

A very good copy in the original printed wrappers with some splitting at the spine and a few nicks but overall sound. The folding plate is in excellent condition. It shows a detailed image of the "Multiple Switch Board for Indianapolis." In 1881 just two years before this pamphlet was produced Alexander Graham Bell purchased the Western Electric Company which scholars have described as a crucial step in the standardization of telephone technology and equipment. Just a few years earlier telephone conversations could only be had between rented pairs of phones attached by a line that had no way to connect to other telephones. The switchboard allowed for operators to manually move connections between lines so that anyone with a telephone could call anyone else with a telephone-at least locally-and the technology rapidly improved from then on. Quite scarce with none in the auction record and just two separately catalogued listings in OCLC NYHS Duke. . Rand, McNally & Co unknown
