19374725Philadelphia: The Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology 1937. 528pp. Quarto 26 cm Blue cloth with the title gilt stamped on the front board and backstrip. Very good/Near fine. Spine of jacket sunned. Former owner's blind stamp on the endsheets. "When one not inordinately addicted to discoursing of himself begins to contemplate a lapse from such negative virtue." Isaac J. Wistar who never confused modesty with self-repression opens his autobiography in this forbidding Victorian language. But he soon shifts to easily written easily read narrative reflecting Dana's 'Two Years Before the Mast' in its salt-tanged sea tales; twinkling here and there with a roguish humor not unworthy of Mark Twain his contemporary; and pausing at the end of blood-and-thunder passages for Wistar the adventurer to allow the scientific-minded Wistar to relate some wound treatment or psychological observation. For Wistar lived through remarkable times and made the most of them. He traveled across the continent with the vanguard of the Forty-Niners in a journey almost epic in itself. he earned and lost small fortunes as a miner trapper muleteer speculator and lawyer before he was thirty such was his versatility. He never hesitated to pistol club or butt anyone who crossed him; yet the Governor of California singled him out to suppress the Vigilante rioters of 1856. He stood armed to fight Abolitionists and believed ardently in states rights; yet his privately raised regiment is credited with saving the Union at Gettysburg and in the Seven Days Battles. All these seeming inconsistencies become an orderly part of the picture of the day in Isaac J. Wistar's forceful writing of his autobiography. It is the last word from a leader of a vanished American generation." - from the jacket. Graff 4724. Howes W598. The Wistar Institute of Anatomy and Biology unknown books

199852300New Castle Delaware & Winchester England: Oak Knoll Press & St. Paul's Bibliographies 1998. Hardback printed covers. small 8vo. Hardback printed covers. 230 pages. First edition. Second volume of the series PRINT NETWORKS. More than a century has passed since W. H. Allnut's paper on provincial printing was presented at the meeting of the Library Association in 1878. This topic has now moved to the forefront of investigating the history of the book. The annual Seminar on the British Book Trade has been steadily developing the depth and breadth of its interests encompassing the contemporary social economic educational and cultural climates in which booksellers printers and their fellows operated. <BR><br /> Even today few booksellers can support themselves solely by the sale of books. In the earlier days this was even more true and so they engaged in a wide range of trades including selling stationery printing and the sale of nostrums. Newspapers were also important sources of income since their distribution networks were essential to the proprietors' survival. For much of the population street literature was particularly significant. Two aspects of these ephemera - their contribution to the "oral tradition" and their crude illustrations - are explored here. The last three papers deal with the fact that we have so much printed matter to study is partly due to predecessors who formed libraries for their own use or for a wider readership. All these themes and more are included and explored in this work. Oak Knoll Press & St. Paul's Bibliographies unknown books
