Octavo thirty-two volumes pictorial wrappers uniformly bound in green cloth. A complete file of 181 issues in bound volumes. Doc Savage was a precursor to the modern super hero. Clark "Doc" Savage Jr. was trained from birth with a rigorous regimen resulting in extraordinary strength and intelligence. He never killed unless necessary he had scientific gadgets a headquarters and a secret base a fortress of solitude. The stories combined mystery adventure and some science fiction. He also had a team of five experts in various fields to assist in his adventures. His stories were extremely popular during the pulp era and then found a new audience in the 1960s-70s when the series was reprinted in paperback. The novels were written using the house pseudonym of Kenneth Robeson the main author was Lester Dent who wrote nearly 80% of the novels. Other author contributors as Robeson included William Bogart Alan Hathway Harold Davis Laurence Donovan and W. Ryerson Johnson. There were many excellent contributors to the short stories which rounded out the magazine with authors such as Steve Fisher E. Hoffman Price Q. Patrick John D. MacDonald Bruno Fischer Frank Herbert William Lindsay Gresham to name a few. Street and Smith publishing executive Henry Ralston and editor John Nanovic established the initial idea for Clark "Doc" Savage Jr. - .a brawny 'superman' a master of many fields-surgeon mineralogist engineer inventor linguist. His skin was a glowing bronze.his hair was a matching hue and so too his eyes resembling gold flake. He would be known as the Man of Bronze."- Server Encyclopedia of Pulp Fiction Writers p.81. "Doc Savage was intended to be an adventure character but under Lester Dent's imaginative manipulations he became something more - the first superhero and an inspiration for countless pulp comic-book and television characters." - Cook Mystery Detective and Espionage Magazines pp. 521-527. "The enormously wealthy Doc Savage – headquartered in a fantasticated New York with his five sidekicks who specialize in various crafts and sciences at the borderline of sf – devotes his life to combating criminal conspiracies almost all masterminded by the kind of charismatic villain later given definitive form by Ian Fleming in the James Bond books. Doc Savage himself clearly influenced the creation of Superman." - SFE online. A note on artists Walter Baumhofer contributed the initial look to the character with his striking cover painting through late 1936. Other artists include Robert George Harris Emery Clarke Modest Stein and George Rozen. An ideal collection for an institution.

188155698London 1881. Very good. Twelve monthly parts quarto 22 by 17.5 cm. 379 leaves 8 final blank. Original manuscript penned in several neat hands including 40 original illustrations mostly tipped-in on heavier paper. Title pages for vol. 1 January-June and vol. 2 July-December; index for vol. 1. Recent foliation in pencil; 75 pages with contemporary numeration in ink. Navy blue polished calf lettered and tooled in gilt marbled endleaves. Covers lightly chafed at extremities; occasional mild smudging else text about fine.<br /> <br /> Privately circulated magazine comprising essays often on historical subjects travel accounts short stories poetry riddles and puzzles along with some letters to the editor. This particular collection affords a unique perspective on a Victorian-era co-ed literary project born of youthful enthusiasm. Many of the pieces unfold serially across several issues. Floral themes depictions of girls and landscapes abound among the watercolor and ink illustrations most of which are on heavier paper and have been tipped-in. All but the last issue contain an opening illustration invoking the month. The illustrations and written pieces are pseudonymously signed by no fewer than sixteen contributors many of whom are women: Ad Lucem; Amicus; Beth; Constancy; Daphne; Elaine; Gh; Granta; Hope; Iris; Ivy; Mezereon a species of Daphne; M'one; M:zone; One of the Mob; Sinon the cousin of Odysseus who persuaded the Trojans to open the gate for the Trojan Horse; Viola. The editor's introduction and subsequent addresses attest to the ephemeral nature of the project including financial pressures. In the address to the members which appears at the opening of the second volume the editor raises the issue of increasing the subscription rate for 2 to 5 shillings per annum. <br /> <br /> "At a meeting of a few friends it was suggested that a publication of a Magazine to be circulated among the members only should be undertaken. Two members undertook to draw up a code of rules and issue a circular inviting members to join the Society the magazine of which was to be called 'The Folia Peripatetica.' The encouragement which the proposal received was quite equal to the anticipation of the promoters and many hailed with joy the advent of the Folia as a pastime and an occupation for the long winter evenings and sunny days of summer. All the contributors it is needless to say were born authors and though perhaps some were comparatively young in years yet their light was no longer to remain dimly burning under the bushel. Poets Musicians Novelists Historians all found here the medium they had long wished for. Joy joy unspeakable joy reigned supreme in the Editors office and for a season all went on as 'merry as a cricket.' But alas! vain are the hopes of man. Time was when lo a change came oer the spirit of my dream. Members finding they were after all condemned to 'blush unseen' and waste their fragrance on the limited circle of the Folia's members began to find that other and more important duties claimed their time. Some retired into distant parts of the country others went abroad or got married. In vain fresh nurses were called in and a change of Doctors -- I mean Editors -- effected Hope for a short while revived but this soon gave place to despondency. A change to Sidmouth and Plymouth only accelerated the malady. But the Folia was not to perish in this obscure way. Fate had ordained a fairer destiny. The two volumes now handsomely bound will remain for many a long year to come a fitting monument to the memory of the 'Folia Peripatetica'" editor's preface. vol. 1. <br /> <br /> "Granta" contributes several notable pieces: "University Degree Day" an eye-witness account of the 1877 ceremony where Charles Darwin received an honorary degree at Cambridge; "Jesuit Schools" prompted by the "advent of a colony of Jesuits in our secluded valley;" and "Capital Punishment" in which the author argues against "a practice entirely barbarous horrible in its details and brutalising in its effects." A piece on "Women's Rights" written under the pseudonym "Ad Lucem" is illustrated with pen drawings of butterflies. An account of Autumn maneuvers with the 20th Yorkshire Amateur Carabineers written by a participant is provided by Gh. "Hope" writes about "Shakespeare's Heroines" and "Viola" explores the lives of "Some of Our King's Wives." "One of the Mob" offers an account of "two bachelors of limited incomes" visiting Paris on the cheap. An anonymous writer compares "the translations of the old and revised versions of the New Testament" that appear in the Gospel of Matthew. "Music in Worship" by "Amicus" includes a score entitled "Augusta." An ultra-miniature 30 cm text penned within a circle and requiring magnification to read includes The Lord's Prayer a Creed and the Ten Commandments the final line noting "St. John's College Cambridge 1881."<br /> <br /> Provenance: Editorial note at close of first monthly issue noting that subscriptions for the current half year are now due and should be forwarded to No. 43 Oakley Street Chelsea.<br /> <br /> Binding: ticket of Macmichael.

193334594Elizabeth New Jersey: Charles D. Hornig 1933-1935. Bound in brown buckram titled in gold on the front and spine panels with "F. Lee Baldwin" stamped on the upper cover retaining the original wrappers where so issued. Overall the issues are in excellent condition which is not usually the case as they tend to be quite fragile when encountering single issues. A unique set of this uncommon and important publication. Complete sets are rare. 34594. Octavo 18 issues printed or self wrappers bound in cloth. Label affixed to front paste down with a presentation inscription from editor Charles D. Hornig to noted fan and publisher Gerry de la Ree. A contributor's complete set of this amateur magazine the first important weird fiction fanzine and one of the most desirable of the fanzines of the thirties. This set belonged to F. Lee Baldwin whose name is stamped in gold on the upper cover of the binding. "Franklin Lee Baldwin 1913-1987 corresponded with H. P. Lovecraft 1933-1936. "Baldwin first wrote HPL in the fall of 1933 proposing to issue 'The Colour Out of Space' as a booklet. HPL revised the tale slightly for the prospective publication but the plan never materialized. In early 1934 HPL put Baldwin in touch with Duane W. Rimel who by coincidence lived in the same small town Asotin Washington. The two took turns reading HPL's letters to each of them. Baldwin wrote two columns of news notes for the FANTASY FAN: 'Side Glances' April May September 1934 and 'Within the Circle' June July August October November 1934 January February 1935 much of the information for which was derived from HPL's letters to him as was the significant early article 'H. P. Lovecraft: A Biographical Sketch' originally scheduled to appear in the FANTASY FAN but following the magazine's demise published in FANTASY MAGAZINE April 1935. Baldwin later revised the article as 'Some Lovecraft Sidelights' FANTASY COMMENTATOR Spring 1948" Joshi and Schultz An H. P. Lovecraft Encyclopedia pp. 14-15. In 1989 Baldwin's copy was presented to early fantastic fiction fan and publisher Gerry de la Ree by Charles D. Hornig the editor of THE FANTASY FAN.<br /> Stories first published in THE FANTASY FAN include H. P. Lovecraft's "The Other Gods" and "From Beyond" Clark Ashton Smith's "The Epiphany of Death" "The Ghoul" "The Kingdom of the Worm" and "The Primal City" as well as tales by Robert Bloch August Derleth Robert E. Howard David H. Keller and others. THE FANTASY FAN was "an interesting mix of news articles stories poems and miscellany. Hornig however made an error in initiating a column of controversy entitled 'The Boiling Point' which quickly led to acrimonious letter exchanges between Lovecraft Forrest J. Ackerman Clark Ashton Smith and numerous others; the column was terminated with the February 1934 issue. Perhaps Hornig's greatest accomplishment was the serialization of the revised version of Lovecraft's 'Supernatural Horror in Literature' October 1933-February 1935. However the serialization proceeded at such a slow pace that it had reached only the middle of Chapter VIII before the magazine folded. THE FANTASY FAN also saw the first publication of Lovecraft's stories. 'The Other Gods' November 1933 and 'From Beyond' June 1934 as well as reprints from amateur papers of 'Polaris' February 1934 and 'Beyond the Wall of Sleep' October 1934; it also published 'The Book' October 1934 'Pursuit' October 1934 'The Key' January 1935 and 'Homecoming' January 1935 from 'Fungi from Yuggoth.' Brief excerpts of Lovecraft's letters to Hornig appeared regularly in the magazine's letter column. The October 1934 issue was dedicated to Lovecraft. After the demise of THE FANTASY FAN numerous attempts were made to revive or succeed it but no magazine truly filled its place as a news organ a forum for the expression of fan's views and a venue for work by distinguished writers in the field" Joshi and Schultz An H. P. Lovecraft Encyclopedia pp. 90-91. "As a real help to the lover of weird and fantasy fiction Hornig's magazine reigned supreme in the field at that time . Almost every weirdist of importance in fandom was at one time or another represented in its pages. And as a love-feast for such fans it has never again been equaled" Moskowitz The Immortal Storm pp. 18-20. ". one of the legendary magazines of the 1930s . an extremely consistent and reliable magazine ." Tymn and Ashley eds. Science Fiction Fantasy and Weird Fiction Magazines pp. 822-23. According to Hornig writing in 1988 "THE FANTASY FAN was printed by Conrad Ruppett of Jamaica New York hand set. Julius Schwartz and I helped him collate and staple each copy every month for eighteen months. Except for the second issue 500 copies there were only 250 printed and the paid circulation never reached over 50. What happened to the residue Well I found someone to buy up most of the unsold copies and that was B. K. Gores of Austin Texas.

It represents one of the first efforts by the fraternity to define consolidate and disseminate its intellectual and moral identity in public. Its contents - lodge proceedings philosophical essays antiquarian inquiries biographical notices poetry and finely executed symbolic engravings - reflect the full breadth of late Enlightenment Masonry. The importance of the work lies in its function as a precursor since it anticipates the Masonic journals in the 19th century and marks the transition of Freemasonry into a self-conscious print-based intellectual culture. â€The Freemasons’ Magazine represent a forceful statement of British Freemasonry concerning its vigour loyalty and societal engagement. During 1794 the journal for the first time served as a platform to refute anti-Masonic writings that circulated in the public. Important apologies such as Defence of masonry 1730 or Cousto’s spiced account of his treatment by the Portuguese inquisition were republished. Parts of Ramsay’s ‘Oration’ were republished not just once but twice. We can also witness how the Knights Templar called the ‘sublime degree of masonry’ entered the world of British Masonic imagination long after the continental development. Nevertheless at the very same time Freemasonry in Britain was also celebrating technological progress in industry agriculture and science which makes its relationship to modernity complex. The Freemasons’ Magazine managed to attract correspondents in different parts of the empire and even the USA. A particularly strong link throughout the first seven volumes was Edinburgh. In the last four volumes we find more material inserted from Ireland at exactly the time when political tensions there erupted into a full-scale rebellion. The political tense years of 1797 and 1798 offer an intriguing insight into the British psyche at the time. Under constant real and imagined threat of French invasion internally shaken by the Irish rebellion uprisings and repeated mutinies public opinion was fuelled with anti-Masonic ideas not at least by Robison’s book Proofs of a conspiracy. The Freemasons’ Magazine unfortunately did not survive 1798. Most importantly perhaps it can be regarded as the archetype of later Masonic periodicals developing into a archtype Masonic press by the middle of the nineteenth century with titles such as he Freemasons’ Quarterly Magazine and Review 1834–53 The Masonic observer 1856–9 he Freemason’s Magazine and Masonic mirror 1856–71 the Freemason 1869–1951 some of them surviving well into the twentieth century. Whereas Masonic periodicals during the first century of their existence tied into the ongoing debates and controversies surrounding Freemasonry in culture and society they developed more and more into purely internal membership magazines with little connection to the outside world.†Önnerfors The Freemasons’ Magazine 1793–1798.

179031351London: W. Bent 1790. First Edition of the volume for January through June of 1790 including the supplements. Containing the stated FIRST PRINTING of the Addresses of the Mayor of Alexandria VA. to George Washington on his leaving his home in Mount Vernon to become President of the United States and of Washington's address to the people in reply. Most probably the first printing in book form of either of the addresses. No earlier printings in book form seem to exist and the Library of Congress shows only the manuscript copy in their holdings. Also containing one of the earliest reports of the mutiny onboard the H.M.S. 'Bounty' and an extensive essay on William Harvey as well as an essay by Mrs. Piozzi on the present King of Naples. Illustrated throughout. 8vo contemporary tan calf over marbled paper covered boards the spine with raised bands and a single red morocco label gilt tooled and lettered. 379 5 index pp. A very fresh and well preserved copy the text still quite clean and crisp only a hint of occasional spotting a few old marks by an early reader including the marking of one small section as "Not Fact". The binding has some rubbing at the tips and edges two joints starting but still a firm and solid binding in original state with no evidence of repair or restoration. THE UNIVERSAL MAGAZINE FOR THE FIRST HALF OF 1790; which with the stated first printing of the address to George Washington and his address to the Citizens of Alexandria also contains "Letters Debates Essays Tales Poetry History Biography Antiquities Voyages Travels Astronomy Geography Mathematics Mechanics Architecture Philosophy Medicine Chemistry Husbandry Gardening and other Arts and Sciences."<br> At 10:00am on the morning of April 16 1789 General George Washington left Mount Vernon for the journey north to New York where he would be inaugurated as the first President of the new United States. His first stop was in Alexandria with his former aide-de-camp Col. David Humphries and the Secretary of Congress Charles Thomson. At noon he arrived in Alexandria where he took an early dinner at Wise's Tavern with citizens of the town. The address by the Mayor celebrating Washington's service to and love of country was followed by Washington's own address concerning his considerations for his having accepted the honour to be bestowed upon him in New York. Washington had wanted to retire from public life but agreed to continue to serve the new nation upon the call of its citizenry.<br> Both addresses are moving tributes one to the man one to the new nation and its people. Humble in origin brilliant in effect they are. In the later afternoon hours General Washington was escorted by admirers up the Potomac to Georgetown where he was greeted by a large contingent of the citizenry of that town who escorted him up the Post Road towards Baltimore where he spent the night at Spurrier's Tavern. <br><br>George Washington's Address:<br> <br>To THE MAYOR CORPORATION AND CITIZENS OF ALEXANDRIA<br><br>Alexandria April 16 1789.<br><br>"Gentlemen: Although I ought not to conceal yet I cannot describe the painful emotions which I felt in being called upon to determine whether I would accept or refuse the Presidency of the United States.<br><br>The unanimity of the choice the opinion of my friends communicated from different parts of Europe as well as of America the apparent wish of those who were not altogether satisfied with the Constitution in its present form and an ardent desire on my own part to be instrumental in conciliating the good will of my countrymen towards each other have induced an acceptance.<br><br>Those who have known me best and you my fellow citizens are from your situation in that number know better than any others that my love of retirement is so great that no earthly consideration short of a conviction of duty could have prevailed upon me to depart from my resolution “ never more to take any share in transactions of a public nature .†For at my age and in my circumstances what possible advantages could I propose to myself from embarking again on the tempestuous and uncertain ocean of public-life<br><br>I do not feel myself under the necessity of making public declarations in order to convince you Gentlemen of my attachment to yourselves and regard for your interests. The whole tenor of my life has been open to your inspection; and my past actions rather than my present declarations must be the pledge of my future conduct.<br><br>In the mean time I thank you most sincerely for the expressions of kindness contained in your valedictory address. It is true just after having bade adieu to my domestic connexions this tender proof of your friendship is but too well calculated still farther to awaken my sensibility and encrease my regret at parting from the enjoyments of private life.<br><br>All that now remains for me is to commit myself and you to the protection of that beneficent Being who on a former occasion has happly brought us together after a long and distressing separation. Perhaps the same gracious Providence will again indulge us with the same heartfelt felicity. But words my fellow-citizens fail me: Unutterable sensations must then be left to more expressive silence: while from an aching heart I bid you all my affectionate friends and kind neighbours farewell! "<br><br> This volume also contains a series of Picturesque Scenes from Homer's Iliad with handsome engravings; Memoirs of the life and writings of the celebrated physician Dr. William Harvey; and a virtually countless array of stories and reports of "all things instructive and entertaining."

17883741<p><strong>Harvard College -- "the earliest engraving of the College</strong><strong> which one may reasonably hope to obtain"</strong></p><p>This engraving entitled "View of the ancient Buildings belonging to Harvard College Cambridge New-England" appeared in the December 1788 issue of <em>The Columbian Magazine.</em> Bail notes that the view is based on the Burgis-Price print of 1743 which in turn was a slight modification of the Burgis view of 1726. The view taken from a point in front of the present Johnston Gate shows three College buildings in 1726 from left to right: the second Harvard College the first Stoughton Hall and the still-standing Massachusetts Hall. Although unsigned the engraving is undoubtedly the work of James Trenchard a co-owner of <em>The Columbian</em> <em>Magazine </em>and the engraver of nearly all the plates which appeared in it. <br /><br />Of the<em> Columbian</em> <em>Magazine</em> view Bail states: "In spite of the fact that the print is solely an adaptation it is important because of its early appearance and relative scarcity. This is the earliest engraving of the College which one may reasonably hope to obtain."</p><p>The engraving is accompanied by a disbound example of the December 1788 <em>Columbian Magazine</em> in which it appeared. It includes a 5-page "An Account of the ancient Colleges of Cambridge in New-England." Most of this is a republication of material from "a very scarce and valuable pamphlet" printed in London in 1642. In addition to a description of the College "The edifice is very fair and comely within and without." the rules and curriculum of the College are provided.</p><p>A very desirable engraving of Harvard with an example of the magazine in which it originally appeared.</p><p><strong>References:</strong> For the engraving: Bail <em>Views of Harvard</em>: 13; Plate XVII illustrated. Fielding <em>American Engravers upon Copper and Steel</em>: 1819. <br /><br /><strong>Condition: </strong>Image is age-toned with some generally light foxing. Darkening to margins outside of platemark where previously matted; remnant of strip of masking tape at upper margin on verso. The <em>Magazine</em> is complete and quite bright and clean although several pages are detached from the balance of the text.<br /><br />ICN 3431. <br /><br /><br /><br /></p> Printed for the Proprietors by W.

190942930New York: Ferlag "Kibets 1909. 1st Edition. Original publisher’s binding Folio newspaper. Complete first volume Starting with Vol I Nr 1 of “Der Kibitser†Dec. 15 1908 renamed and renumbered first as Vol I Nr 1 Jan 22 1909 of “Der Groyser Kibetser The big kibetzer†with the following issue of Feb 5 numbered as "3" to correctly follow from the first issue and then with Vol I Nr 6 March 19 1909 onward as “Der Groyser Kundes The Big Stick†or “The Big Prankster.†Incidentally the other set of this volume we examined also did not have a Nr 2 so we are confident this is complete as issued. <br> One centerfold cartoon by Zuni Maud see image features "Der Kaptialistisher Tayfel"--the Capitalist Devil–holding back a "mother" by the hair to stop her from interfering as "baby's milk-bottle" is drained off by the "milk-trust" cat. <br> The caption reads "The Capitalist Devil: - to the mother: Never mind madam all in English in Hebrew letters you go to the factory the milk-trust will take good care of your baby."<br> This cartoon-laden periodical was a New York City Yiddish language satirical bi- weekly which ran from 1908 until 1927.<br> The humor paper was issued biweekly this volume for its first 20 months and then weekly after that. OCLC also references another Vol I Nr 1 from April 15 1908 a special S´imhes` Toyreh Simchas Torah issue but this may have been a one-off. <br> Founded by the humorist Yosef Tunkel or Der Tunkeler his pen name meaning 'The Dark One' the paper was taken on by Jacob Marinoff when Tunkel left to work for an established paper in Warsaw. The paper consciously set itself up in opposition to the serious Yiddish-language press of the time such as the socialist Forverts.Naturally more traditional religious Judaism did not escape its satire: The later 1915 "Christmas" edition included a parodic conversation between Jesus and the prophet Elijah. <br> Despite its irreverent attitude to everything it also published poetry by Di Yunge "The Young Ones" poets such as Moyshe-Leyb Halpern and Zuni Maud. At its height it had a circulation of 35000 but folded in 1927 due to flagging sales. Der Groyer Kunds is highlighted in this recent talk by Yiddish comics scholar Eddie Portnoy on the reactions in the Yiddish press to restrictions on Jewish immigration to the US: https://www.yiddishbookcenter.org/collections/archival-recordings/recorded- programs/ybcr-nybc-ybcr-1048/door-slams-shut-reactions-yiddish-press-immigr ation .<br> SUBJECTS: Yiddish wit and humor -- Periodicals.
