011993New York Chicago Toronto: Frank A. Munsey Company / Red Star / All-Fiction Field Inc. / Popular Publications Inc. 1st Editions 1939-1953 ----------This heavy set will require NO additional shipping charges for standard shipping for a US or Canadian order. An order from outside the US or Canada cannot be accepted due to the impossibility of satisfying the necessary export requirements and documentation. 81 pulp magazines standard pulp size 4 1951 issues were a somewhat smaller 8 by 6 inch size. Many 1948-1952 issues are Canadian printings which have the same contents covers and dates as their US counterparts but are a little taller and differ in the copyright information and back cover advertisements Canadian breweries. The COMPLETE 81-issue run of this fantasy / science fiction / horror pulp magazine September-October 1939 through June 1953. The first few issues contained mostly shorter fantasy works reprinted from the Munsey chain of pulp magazines. Within a few months each issue contained a complete fantasy novel either from the old pulp magazines or from out-of-print hardcover books. Many issues contained shorter works in addition to the novels some being original works others being reprints. The first 5 issues had text-only covers but from then on featured marvellous covers from Virgil Finlay Frank R. Paul Lawrence and others. The condition of the magazines ranges from good to almost as new with many of the earlier issues 1939-1944 being especially nice and likely unread. The December 1948 issue has had the detached cover re-attached. Some but by no means all of the writers included are: A. Merritt Ray Cummings Austin Hall Homer Eon Flint Ralph Milne Farley J. George Frederick Philip M. Fisher Douglas Newton George Allan England Will McMorrow Francis Stevens J.U. Giesy H.P. Lovecraft John Hawkins John Taine Robert W. Chambers J.

An elegant Jacobean reissue of the Latin Book of Common Prayer: a compact service-book that carries the English Reformation into the language of scholarship. First issued in 1560 for use in colleges schools and universities the Liber offered an authorised Latin form of worship for learned institutions while remaining firmly within the post-Reformation settlement of the Church of England. In this 1604 John Norton reissue it survives as both devotional manual and academic artefact: a book meant to be handled consulted and used. By Church of England Author Bio: The Church of Englands Liber precum publicarum is the authorised Latin version of the reformed prayer book first issued in Elizabeth Is reign for use especially in scholastic settings. Modern catalogues and recent scholarship describe it as a revised Latin translation associated with Walter Haddon the Tudor humanist and civil lawyer long linked with the text. Synopsis: A Latin Book of Common Prayer with the Psalter appended designed for use where Latin remained the working language of devotion and learning. The work stands at the intersection of liturgy pedagogy and confessional statecraft: not a survival of the medieval rite but a consciously Protestant service-book recast in classical dress. The 1604 Norton issue continues the octavo form seen in the 1574 edition and later reissues.

1903180101903. Archive of 2 pamphlets "List of Public Secondary Schools for Girls" 1903 and 1905. Issued by the Association of Head Mistresses. 8.5" x 5.5" inches. Soft blue covers read "One Shilling Published by the Educational Supply Association 42 Holborn Viaduct E.C." The entries inside are arranged by county and list all public secondary schools open to girls at the time. Women's schools were opened throughout the Victorian era in response to women's growing frustration with the poor quality of education available to them but the issue remained hotly contested into the 20th century. When Cambridge voted to admit women in 1897 there were riots in the streets with effigies of female scholars burned and fireworks thrown at the windows of women's colleges. Still young girls pursued secondary education in hope of college admission upon graduation. This archive speaks to the faith required by history's slow turns. Front covers stamped with "Board of Education Library" and "Supplied Public Service" both with the royal crown and back covers carry red "Board of Education Reference Library" sticker. Textblocks tight bright and clean. Very good condition. unknown
