THE FOX-WOMAN .

1900136802Philadelphia & London: J. B. Lippincott Company 1900. Octavo pp. 1-6 7-308 309-320: ads frontispiece with illustration by Virginia H. Davisson title page printed in red and black original pictorial white cloth front and spine panels stamped in red and purple rear panel stamped in red binding signed "H" t.e.g. other edges untrimmed. First edition. A presentation copy with initialed inscription by Long on the front free endpaper: "Das heist vergiss-mein-nich" This means "forget-me-not". "If the exotic quality in Lafcadio Hearn was made authentic by observation that of John Luther Long 1861-1927 was largely the product of his imagination at times of high order and one that has not had proper appreciation either in fiction or drama. He was never in Japan but inspired by information which he received from his sister Mrs. Irwin Currell he established an atmosphere which has the illusion of reality and from it he evolved one character at least of supreme importance who has passed into world literature . Long continued his exotic romance in THE FOX WOMAN 1900 an imaginative novel of a crippled Japanese artist and his worship of a beautiful but soulless American woman to whom he is just a passing whim. She is the 'Fox Woman' of the Japanese who is without a soul. For her own pleasure she models him after the hideous Ni-O figures and in order to please her he tries to look like these grotesques until he grows as bestial as they and his soul becomes subject to his body just as before his ugly body had been made noble in the eyes of his wife Jewel by the splendor of his soul. Long uses effectively the utter submission of a Japanese wife to her husband's will in Marushida's present to Miss Carroway of Jewel for her body servant. The inevitable discovery on the artist's part of his abandonment by the goddess and the return of Jewel are told simply and naturally." - Quinn American Fiction pp. 516-518. Long is best known for his long short story "Madame Butterfly" dramatized in collaboration with David Belasco later made into the famous opera by Puccini. Wright III 3388. Stamping on spine panel faded mild dust soiling to rear panel a very good copy. A very nice copy of a rare vampire novel. #136802 J. B. Lippincott Company unknown books

"The nurses studied the catechism and when they graduated took it with them. There followed requests for copies from their employers and the supply was soon exhausted. It was apparent there was a popular demand for something of the kind. The catechism was expanded and in 1894 The Care and Feeding of Children made its appearance.Probably no one would have been more surprised than Dr. Holt or his publishers had they been told that they were launching a volume that was to go through seventy-five printings and which was to be translated into Spanish Russian and Chinese.The book became the mainstay of many a worried mother and exerted no inconsiderable influence on the profession as well for the practitioners had to keep abreast of the pediatric knowledge which the mothers possessed" DUFFUS R.L.

Memoir of Mrs. Catharine M. Dimmick

18467779Boston: T. R. Marvin 1846. First Edition. Original black blind stamped cloth boards with binder's title in gilt. Tips and edges of spine chipped corners bumped and rubbed else very good. Luther Dimmick 1790-1860 clergyman and writer was born in Shaftsbury Vermont graduated from Harvard Divinity School and served as the pastor of North Church in Newburyport Massachusetts. As a writer he focused on religious topics publishing many of his sermons given at North Church. His published sermons covered a range of topics and themes from funeral eulogies and reflections on Christian scholarship and daily life to essays on the moral aspects of temperance. Although it too has a religious theme his MEMOIR OF MRS. CATHARINE M. DIMMICK is a departure from his other work. It was never a sermon written instead as a spiritual biography of and a memorial to his late wife Catharine Mather Marvin Dimmick 1793-1844. Mrs. Dimmick was born in Norwich Connecticut into a prominent family with colonial roots. Her father died when she was a child and her mother died when she was a teenager and shortly after her mother's death she became a school teacher. She would later move to Newburyport and while attending North Church she met Reverend Dimmick. The two married May 4 1820 and from then until December 8 1844 when Catharine died from liver disease the couple lived a life centered around their shared faith and commitment to ministry. While narrated objectively and with a degree of distance MEMOIR OF MRS. CATHARINE M. DIMMICK is a tenderly written and intimate account of the spiritual life and daily thoughts and concerns of Mrs. Dimmick. Reverend Dimmick uses excerpts from his wife's journals and letters and reflections and comments from his wife's friends and acquaintances as well as his own remembrances to create this memoir. He presents the life of his wife as a model clergyman's wife and as the embodiment of Christian principles. A writer in a review of the book in the October 1846 issue of NEW ENGLANDER AND YALE REVIEW says of Mrs. Dimmick: "She seems to have been a lady of a superior and very active mind and of more than ordinary devotion to the various and trying duties that fall to the lot of a pastor's wife." Wallace Dictionary of North American Authors Deceased Before 1950. New Englander and Yale Review pp. 604-605. T. R. Marvin unknown books
