184900003518London: Seeleys 1849 534 pages A reverend from the Church of England visits and criticizes the Roman Catholic Church and all it's manifestations. Corner of the boards are worn rounded top of titling on backstrip is missing starting front in rear although the binding is sound Some very minor stains on the pages but in general; the interior is very clean with a fair amount of illustratrations. The name plate of Cyrus Hall McCormick is on the front end page. Cyrus Hall McCormick invented the mechanical reaper which combined all the steps that earlier harvesting machines had performed separately. His time-saving invention allowed farmers to more than double their crop size and spurred innovations in farm machinery. Born in Rockbridge County Virginia Cyrus McCormick derived his interest in invention from his father a Virginia landowner who patented several improved farming implements and worked without success for many years to perfect a mechanical reaper. In July 1831 McCormick succeeded where his father had failed producing a model reaper with all the essential components of later commercial machines. Patenting his invention in 1834 after Obed Hussey had announced 1833 the construction of a reaper of his own McCormick started to manufacture the machine on the family estate in 1837. Six years later he began to license its manufacture in other parts of the country. In 1847 he set up a factory in Chicago founding what eventually became one of the greatest industrial establishments in the United States. An astute businessman McCormick increased his sales with door-to-door canvassing and written guarantees for his ready-to-assemble machinery. McCormick amassed a large fortune and invested widely in later years in railroad and mining enterprises. This info gleaned on the net. Seeleys hardcover

18896941New York: Phillips & Hunt 1889. First edition. 8vo 3 291pp plus 4 ads at rear. Beige textured cloth backed parchment boards stamped in gilt and blind. Some rubbing and soiling corners worn. Clean internally and very good. <br /> <br /> A strange book with a fun title which tells the cautionary tale of a hypochondriac woman how she brings down those around her and finally rids herself of her condition. She does this more or less through an odd combination of mind and faith-healing. Dr. Homer H. Moore was a Methodist clergyman and author of such other titles as Matter Life & Mind: Their Essence Phenomena & Relations examined with Reference to the Nature of Man & the Problem of His Destiny; and The Anatomy of Atheism As Demonstrated in the Light of the Constitution and Laws of Nature. A blurb from the Methodist Review September 1889 states:<br /> <br /> "Dr. Moore. has discovered the secret of much of the sickness that afflicts the human family and offers in this work a prescription which. will result in a cure. through a common-sense belief in one's health with suitable exercise and an abundance of nourishing food. The professional sick. must be treated not as they desire but according to the facts."<br /> <br /> In the author's preface he mentions all the people he may offend with his book including doctors. It does seem to be a text of belief-based medical denial. <br /> <br /> OCLC cites only 4 holdings.<br /> <br /> <br /> . Phillips & Hunt unknown
