183677889New York: D. Appleton & Co 1836. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. The philosopher and literary author Isaac Taylor 1787–1865 published this book anonymously in 1836. The work is a development of two earlier works: Saturday Evening 1832 and Natural History of Enthusiasm 1829 all three attempts to provide a philosophy to deal with the major problems and spiritual questions of the day. The popularity of Physical Theory led to Taylor relinquishing his previous anonymity. The work is a religious and philosophically speculative exploration of the possible paths of knowledge to information regarding the future existence of human beings. Taylor believed that knowledge of the human physical constitution could be used to conjecture information about the modes of human eternal life and eternity's scheme of moral duties. The work was very popular among contemporaries and offers today an important insight into Victorian intellectual life" Cambridge University Press. Small octavo: 278 pp. In the publisher's dark brown vertical fine-ribbed cloth binding with a ribbon-embossed floral paisley pattern blind-stamped concentric ruled frame and a gilt-stamped ornamental compartment with titling.

1871240980Glasgow: James Maclehose 1871. Reprint. Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 4to - over 9¾" - 12. N/a. xxxvi 538pp. The 1871 facsmilie reprint of the third edition of Sir Isaac Newton's great work in 4to. which appears to be a very faithful re-rendering but with no frontispiece. Not missing from this edition - it seems that they chose to exclude it. A good only copy because as a former bookseller has noted: 'pages carelously opened'. A number of unopened pages have been somewhat carelously forced leaving to some mostly small or very small chips to the margins no loss of text that I can see and some torn pages. Should you ask me to - I can repair some of these tears and make it even more presentable but given the importance of this title I am selling it 'as is' so that a buyer may choose some more professional attention. Original publisher's cloth boards with a paper title label to the head of the spine - as issued. Once again there is an issue here too as the front board is only holding by the upper 2 thread with the lower 2 binding cords present but not holding. On the plus side - no ink inscriptions the former bookseller's remarks in pencil and will erase and the pages themselves the vast bulk of them are undamaged clean with no marginalia and just some scattered spotting which is heavier to the front endpapers to include the new facsimile title page which incidentally has 2 such aforementioned chips at the head. The facsimile title page printed in red and black is in lovely condition. James Maclehose hardcover

1854List1708Philadelphia 1854. Ninth plate ambrotypes in a union case measuring 2 ½ x 2 ⅛ inches visible in larger case. With the identification of Isaac Rehn with his imprint and “Patented July 4 & 11 1854†imprinted on the case. A fine pair. A striking pair of ambrotypes of Mary and Moses Pennock who were members of the Kennett Square Underground Railroad network as well as active members of the Kennett Square abolitionist and Quaker community. Moses was one of the founders of the Longwood Progressive Meeting. In R.C. Smedley’s History of the Underground Railroad in Chester and Neighboring Counties of Pennsylvania Lancaster Office of the Journal 1883 the Pennocks are mentioned on p. 301 as working as part of the network surrounding Isaac and Thamazine Meredity. Their son Samuel who would go on to secure important agricultural patents is also mentioned twice. <br /> <br /> The images are notable from a photographic history perspective as well as being early examples of the ambrotype process that had been patented in part by fellow Quaker and spiritualist Isaac Rehn. Rehn held a partial patent on ambrotypes along with James Ambrose Cutting of Boston and became unpopular among other photographers for his efforts to extend his patent. He later practiced spiritual photography and was a Professor of Chemistry at Pennsylvania Medical University in Philadelphia. Rehn was also involved in radical politics as a founder and leader of the Philadelphia section of the International Workingmen’s Association which was later disenfranchised by Karl Marx along with several other American sections. Examples of Rehn’s work are held at the National Gallery of Art the Library Company of Philadelphia and Yale’s Sterling Memorial Library. <br /> <br /> Overall a very fine and significant pair of images. unknown

187232652Newark: Clark & King Printers American Office 1872. 1872. OHIO. First edition. 8vo. Original blue printed wrappers lacking the rear wrappers 33 pp. double column. Contains biographical sketches of early pioneers a paper read by Rev. Mrs. Springer om July 4 1872 and a poem also read on July 4 1872 at the Pioneer Celebration held at the Fair Grounds Newark Ohio. Includes biographical sketches of Elias Hughes John Ratliff Benjamin Green Richard Pitzer John Van Buskirk Samuel Elliott John Larabee and Alexander Holmes. Information on pioneer women and the poem "The Pioneers of Licking." Sabin 85143 says "From the indefatigable Secretary of the Licking County Pioneer Society comes this Pioneer Pamphlet No. 7 a densely-spaced double-column batch of biographical sketches of early pioneers. The paper from Mrs. Springer on pioneer women is sadly short of solid historical information and instead makes a case for romanticizing the early women settlers rather than dismissing them as uncultured drabs." Very good copy. Clark & King, Printers, American Office, 1872. unknown
