190021362Boston/New York: Houghton Mifflin and Company. Very Good. 1900. First Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket an ex-library but nice-looking with only minor handling wear and with some interesting annotations on the rear pastedown see Notes for details. B&W photographic plates INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the ffep: "Faithfully yours / Jacob A. Riis." An account of the author's anti-slum crusade during the decade following the publication of his most famous work "How the Other Half Lives." By 1900 this Danish-American social reformer photographer and muckraking journalist was nationally famous and in demand as a speaker -- which is amply documented by the various markings in this copy which was inexplicably withdrawn from the collection of the Nebraska State Historical Society and is stamped as such on the title page and the rear pastedown. Also on the rear pastedown the original librarian's I assume annotation provides both authentication of the signature and provenance of the book: "Bot bought of HW Brown: $1.10 Pd 2-24-1903 Sig. of author same date heard author lecture at Oliver Theater on 'Tony's Hardships.'" An additional ownership signature that of a Mr. and Mrs. Williams of Lincoln Nebraska appears on a second front endpaper also dated 2-24-1903. The referenced lecture in all its particulars is confirmed by an account in the Nebraska State Journal of February 25 1903 with the reporter commenting that "the unconscious naturalness of Riis's pose and gestures the sincerity of the man and the fact that his words were the outcome of years of keen personal observation and experience all combined to make the lecture one of exceptional interest with the unusual charm of being seemingly a spontaneous talk with an audience with whom the speaker was in full confidence and sympathy." And incredibly some idiot librarian chose to deaccession this book. Well that's Nebraska for you. And I'm from there so I can say that.

See also: megalithic sites of Rugen painted by Caspar David Friedrich and others. Some think Rügen island might have been the home of the Greek temple of Apollo in 500 B.C. Apollo was the god of light and the sun-god who loved amber and amber was thus considered sacred. The largest deposits of amber in the world and those exploited the longest were on the shores of the Baltic Sea in northern Europe. Baltic amber has a rich history of ancient trade supported by guilds of amber craftsmen and stunning works of art. Apollo's love of music poetry and all the fine arts made him the perfect god for the craftsmen on the island. Annotation by Margaret Odrowaz-Sypniewska Printed for Richard Phillips by J. G.

182992611829. Nach dem Französischen des Maygrier bearbeitet und mit Anmerkungen versehen. - Berlin Verlag von Friedrich August Herbig 1829 Gr.8° 254 2 pp. 68 lith. Taf. Pappband der Zeit; vereinzelt fleckig. Deutsche Erstausgabe des klassischen Werk der Geburtshilfe nach dem Kupferstichwerk von Maygrier. "Aber meinem in dem Vorworte ausgesprochenen Vorsatze mich bei der Herausgabe dieses Werkes lediglich an das Orginal zu halten bin ich nicht ganz nachgekommen; denn je mehr ich in der Bearbeitung weiter geschritten bin um so innniger ward mir die Überzeugung dass eine durchgehend statt findende Bearbeitung des Maygrier von wenig Nutzen sein könnte da das Orginal besonders vom praktischen Theile an höchst flach und einseitig ist. Ich legte demnach schon vom fünften Abschnitte an das französische Werk gänzlich bei Seite benutzte nur die Abbildungen und schrieb einen ganzen neuen Text dazu ohne indessen von der früheren Form abzuweichen. Um aber doch nicht ganz mein Versprechen ausser Augen zu setzen eine Parallele zwischen der französischen und teutschen Geburtshülfe zu ziehen so nahm ich Einzelnes worin sich Maygrier von den teutschen Geburtshelfern unterscheidet immer Rücksicht und berührte dasselbe. . Auf diese Weise war es mir möglich Kapitel mit aufzunehmen die im französischen Originale gar nicht berührt sind z.B. die künstliche Frühgeburt." Zit.a. Nachwort.

1824531York County Pennsylvania 1824. Oblong 12mo. 88 pp. Contemporary calf backed wall-paper covered boards; binding rubbed at edges with minor loss of paper and leather otherwise very good. Eichelberger's account book contains a list of expenses as well as income relating to the Eichelberger farm. Entries are organized chronologically and list the item received or service performed as well as the price paid for the item or service. Eichelberger listed prices in both dollars and pounds. Typical expenses include the hiring of farm hands food often dried pork county taxes and the digging of a well. Eichelberger records far more income than expenses. He sold a number of items including wheat apples beef rye and animal fat. Eichelberger provided board to a widow by the name of Miller. Perhaps the most interesting sources of Eichelberger's income are the animals he sold. Between 1806 and 1809 Eichelberger records the sale of 86 horses accounting for the vast majority of his income during those years. He also records the sale of a few steer sheep and hogs but never in quantities as great as the horses. Several pages of the book record Eichelberger's duties as the executor of the will of his father George Allen Eichelberger. These entries list the name of the beneficiary the amount of the estate granted them and the date on which the transaction took place. The final entry in the book which is chronologically out of place and dated 1807 records Eichelberger's activities following the death of his father such as traveling to Carlisle for the reading of the will and appraisal of the estate. Curiously the entries in which the estate is divided among the beneficiaries are dated between 1824 and 1825--seventeen years after the initial reading of the will. This hints at the protracted probate disputes and complications involved in executing a will in the early nineteenth century. Also of note in this book is the inexplicable changes in the way Eichelberger spelled his name. In the earliest entries of the book it is spelled "Echelberger" then appears as "Eichelberger" and finally beginning around 1810 appears as "Higleberger". While the record book mentions no place names other than Carlisle a prosperous farm family by the name of Eichelberger resided in York County Pennsylvania for many years in the eighteenth century. It is very likely that Jacob was a member of this Pennsylvania-German family. unknown
