Shelf wear some foxing and age toning to pages as expected contents clean. NOTE: Captain Peary photogravure is a trimmed photocopy 2 of the other photogravures although original are also trimmed and laid in. Odd collation frontispiece is North Pole and there are no page numbers for the photogravures these have been added in pencil. The MAP is an amateur PHOTOCOPY.

One of two London editions dated 1910 the other issued by Methuen; priority is unclear. Both London editions have a greater number of illustrations than the first U.S. edition but the sixteen special plates are printed on cream rather than white paper stock and are in black & white. Following earlier attempts Robert Peary succeeded in reaching the North Pole on 6th April 1909. Immediately after his return controversy broke out due to Frederick Cook's announcement just 4 days before Peary's of his own attainment of the Pole on 23rd September 1908. The North Pole contains no hint of the ensuing - and often acrimonious - debate concerning these competing claims. At the time Peary came to be regarded as offering the surer claim. Cook's own published account My Attainment of the Pole did not appear until 1911 and inevitably appears more 'embattled' than does Peary's relatively straightforward account.

18880220785 & 6 Holborn Bar London: Edward Bumpus 1888. Second edition revised and corrected. A few illustrations a folding map with a shirt tear at a fold without loss small octavo pp xxxii 403 slightly dusty internally a minor light stain to the top margins of the first few pages contemporary polished calf lined in gilt gilt decorated spine slightly worn and rubbed the spine head pulled and splitting at the upper joints marbled endpapers. A contemporary inscription on the front endpaper. From the library of the botanist and garden historian Anthony Huxley with his stamp on the endpaper. Much admired by Charles Darwin. The author was an English geologist and naturalist born at Newcastle-on-Tyne in 1832 and educated in that city. He is remembered for his work on the geology of gold bearing minerals glacial geology and for his description of the mutualistic relationship between certain bullthorn Acacia species and their Pseudomyrmex ants. As a youth Belt became actively interested in natural history through the Tyneside Naturalists Field Club. In 1852 he went to Australia and for about eight years worked at the gold-diggings where he acquired a practical knowledge of ore deposits. In 1860 he proceeded to Nova Scotia to take charge of some gold-mines and there met with a serious injury which led to his return to England. In 1868 he was appointed to take charge of some mines in Nicaragua where he passed four active and adventurous years the results being given in this book a widely regarded work. In this volume the author expressed his views on the former presence of glaciers in that country. He also first described the mutualistic relationship of certain Acacias and the ant we now know as Pseudomyrmex spinicola. These are a species of red myrmecophyte-inhabiting neotropical ants which are found only in Nicaragua and Costa Rica. They live in the thorns of a tropical tree Acacia collinsii feeding on nectaries along with the protein and lipid-rich pods produced by the plant for the ants and now known as Belsian bodies or Beltian bodies in honor of Belt. .

Norbert Davis was among the most talented of all the writers who specialized in pulp fiction in the Thirties and early Forties. Although he was primarily a magazine writer he graduated from the pulps to such slicks as The Saturday Evening Post in 1943 he published three mystery novels featuring the detective "team" of Doan and Carstairs. Each of these is fast-paced occasionally lyrical in a hard-edged way and often quite funny. Davis in fact was one of the few writers to successfully blend the so-called hard-boiled story with farcical humor. The Mouse in the Mountain is the first of the adventures through which Doan and Carstairs prowl and howl. Doan is a private eye who looks fat but isnt and who despite a great fondness for booze has never suffered a hangover; Carstairs is an aloof fawn-colored Great Dane whom Doan won in a crap game and who considers Doan a low uncouth person not at all the Sort he would have chosen for a master. The scene is Mexico where Doan has come to persuade a fugitive crook not to return to the United States and give himself up At least that is what he tells the heroine of the piece Janet Martin a shy at least in the beginning schoolteacher in the Wisteria Young Ladies:Seminary. Doan like Sam Spade isnt really as corrupt as he sometimes pretends. Things begin to happen at a fast and furious pace even before Doan and Carstairs arrive in the picturesque little village of Los Altos: A famous Mexican bandit named Garcia is on the loose and causing a great deal of consternation among the local authorities. But what happens later causes considerably more consternation: the town; s first earthquake in 150 years which results in widespread destruction and chaos and precipitates three cold-blooded murders. Doan solves the murders of course and restores peace and harmony to Los Altos-with not a little help from Carstairs and Janet Martin who has also been kept busy falling in and out of love with a handsome but exasperating Mexican Army officer Captain Emile Perona.

SYNOPSIS: "In nine months a man can think a lot of thoughts from the height of philosophical conjecture to the most abject longing for a bowl of soup.And if at the same time he's a bit of an adventurer he could have experiences that might interest other people and his random account would read something like this diary.Unless you actually know the landscape my diary photographed you've no option but to accept my version.
