19514205811951. Softcover. Near Fine. Quarto measuring 10" x 11". Spiral bound green leatherette album with "photographs" stamped in white on the front cover. Contains 149 sepia-toned or black and white gelatin silver photographs measuring between 1" x 1" and 10" x 16" with captions. Detached but present front cover thus very good with near fine photographs.<br /> <br /> A photo album kept by a Wisconsin nurse Florence Jacksi beginning in 1949. Early pages show Florence on a trip to Washington D.C. for a Safety Patrol trip where she was the nurse on duty. One photo is captioned "100 men and a girl." Newspaper clippings from before the trip show her examining boys to see if they were healthy enough for the trip. A large portion of the middle of the album is from a road trip Florence and her friend Suzy went on in September of 1949. These photos are well captioned with long journal style entries written about each stop on their trip. It begins "Suzy and I off to the great Northwoods - for vacation - relaxation - and no routine and to view the beautiful vistas this time of the year - and not least - to see my relatives." Florence discusses the women's travels in detail including car conversations and various stops along the way. Many of the entries are humorous and talk about her terrible directional skills getting lost and "needing new glasses." After struggling with her luggage at a hotel she writes "we are surely 2 women who were not designed by nature for a suitcase existence." They spent their travels visiting the Great Lakes region forests and fishing areas of the North Woods. The trip portion of the album ends with a section of expenses which reads "expenses -hardly" and lists travel budgets for the journey. The album ends with a collection of family photographs from the late 1940s and early 1950s which include Christmas cards portraits and candids. Florence is seen working in the hospital at parties and on trips with friends. <br /> <br /> A nice collection of photographs detailing a woman's life and career in Wisconsin in the late 1940s with detailed captions. unknown

187730067London: William H. Harrison 1877. Very Good. London: William H. Harrison 1877. First Edition. Octavo 18.5cm.; publisher's purple pictorial cloth designed by Florence Claxton elaborately embossed in gilt and black all edges gilt black glazed endpapers; iv5-156pp. Cloth a bit scuffed and worn along extremities with brief exposure at corners and spine ends spine cloth faded brief split to rear joint rear hinge cracked but holding textblock slightly shaken in binding else a Very Good bright example. <br /> Inscribed on front flyleaf to the American medium "Mrs. Hollis Billing With the kind regards of The Author / November 1879. London."<br /> <br /> Scarce collection of humorous poems and vignettes by the British author and editor of The Spiritualist. Running in the London Spiritualist circles Harrison would presumably have made the acquaintance of the inscribee American medium Mary Hollis Billing and her husband who served on the 1877 Committee of the Theosophical Society in London. <br /> <br /> Contents only glancingly Spiritualist though true to form the imprint provides the publication date based on different calendars: A.D. 1877 Popular Chronology; A.M. 5877 Torquemada; A.M. 50800077 Huxley. Like many Spiritualists of the day Harrison was especially interested in photography and several pieces in this volume relate to the art and science of the form. Notably "The Lay of the Photographer" describes in nineteen stanzas the chemical transformations of pyroxylin iodine and silver to develop photographs. Needless to say the poem is not very good.<br /> <br /> Advertisements for the present work attribute the cover design to British illustrator cartoonist and fringe Pre-Raphaelite Florence Claxton 1838-1920. One contemporary reviewer aptly describes the book as "handsomely-bound and griffin-guarded" Liverpool Daily Courier. William H. Harrison unknown
192919847New York: E.P. Dutton & Co. Inc. Very Good in Fair dj. 1929. 2nd printing. Hardcover. book is lightly worn with a touch of dust-soiling and faint spotting on the top edge of the text block; the jacket alas is badly compromised due to a large chunk having been torn away from the top left corner of the front panel taking with it about half of the title. "Body horror" novel about the psychological havoc wrought upon a famous pianist when his hands mangled in an accident are surgically replaced by those of a recently-executed murderer. Originally published in France in 1920 the novel was first filmed as a 1924 silent in Austria directed by Robert Wiene of "Caligari" fame; subsequent movie versions acknowledging the source novel were MAD LOVE 1935 starring Colin Clive and Peter Lorre and THE HANDS OF ORLAC 1960 with Mel Ferrer and Christopher Lee. It was also unofficially remade without source attribution as HANDS OF A STRANGER 1962 and is often acknowledged as an inspiration for the 1946 thriller THE BEAST WITH FIVE FINGERS. Rare in the dust jacket this example of which apart from the noted large missing piece is virtually unworn and is a great candidate for professional restoration. Alternatively one could take the much less expensive approach of obtaining a beautiful facsimile of the original jacket from the well-known purveyor of such things; details upon request. . E.P.

1915188802London: William Rider & Son. Ltd. 1915. First edition. An appealing collection exploring beliefs regarding human transformation into animals from "the point of view of folklore and occultism" - tales of "wer-wolves" and "wer-foxes" witches and their familiars animal dances human serpents phantom cats and cocks.

Florence Hamel 1870-1957 began her career as an author of popular biographies in the main of prominent French women Émilie du Châtelet Agnès Sorel Dauphines of France Fair Women at Fontainebleau but also of La Fontaine and Lady Hester Stanhope. She later diversified writing a number of novels including the supernaturally themed Tiger-Wolves The Luminous Pearl and Trust to Boyd. In 1912 she founded Grafton & Co. which became the leading publishers of bibliographical and librarianship textbooks and of the trade journal Library World which she edited until her death; in 1919 an antiquarian department was added under the notable if slightly disreputable bibliographer R. A. Peddie. Bookseller Robin Waterfield offers colourful reminiscence of the place "I applied and got the job and absolutely loved the work. The proprietor was a South African called Fanny Hamel who wore a red wig. Somehow Fanny had entered into a liaison with Mr R. A. Peddie who was my boss at Grafton's. Peddie was a most distinguished bibliographer but had been dismissed from his post as librarian of St Bride's Printing Library for irregularity of attendance and drunkenness. There was always a large bottle of whisky under the counter to 'encourage' librarians" Markham. Octavo.

438340Swan Sonnenschein & Co. Hardcover. Good. THERE ARE NO TARIFFS OR CUSTOMS DUTIES ON BOOKS. The Condition of the Working Class in England is an 1845 study by Friedrich Engels that examines the dire socioeconomic impact of the Industrial Revolution on workers in Victorian England. Written during Engels' 1842–1844 stay in Manchester and Salford the work is based on firsthand observations and contemporary reports. Engels used statistics and evidence to document the "social murder" committed by the ruling class highlighting that industrial workers lived in more unhealthy environments than their pre-industrial peers. He vividly detailed overcrowded slums poor sanitation child labor and hazardous factory environments where 12-hour shifts were common. Engels noted that city workers were four times more likely to die from infectious diseases like smallpox or cholera than rural workers. A hardback with pout a dust jacket in good condition.

FIRST EDITION incorporating the first Latin edition of the Saggi di naturali esperienze 1667 prepared by the Accademia del Cimento Florence with substantial additions throughout by Musschenbroek. Musschenbroek was one of the great physical experimenters and lecturers of the eighteenth century and the teacher of Nollet. This book contains the first description of the pyrometer an instrument for measuring the expansion of solid bodies under the influence of heat. Like many of Musschenbroek's books the Tentamina contains fine illustrations and is concerned with experiments in measuring humidity magnets and electricity air pressure the structure of ice heat and cold capillarity optics the motion of sound etc. / "He devised many of his experiments in the process consulting records of other experimenters among them those of the Accademia del Cimento. Musschenbroek translated their accounts into Latin adding reports concerning his own work 1731." :: Encyclopedia. / The work opens with Musschenbroek's Oratio de Methodo Instituendi Experimenta Physica regarding his views on experimental philosophy as inspired by Newton. "Underlying Musschenbroek's lectures demonstrated with experiments was the experimental philosophy the principal source of inspiration was Newton but Galileo Torricelli Huygens Reaumur and others were important to this school." :: DSB IX p. 596. The Accademia del Cimento Academy of Experiments was founded in Florence in 1657. Among the founding members were Borelli Steno Redi Cassini Viviani and Torricelli these final two being disciples of Galileo. This makes the Accademia older than either the Royal Society or the Academie des Sciences. Count Lorenzo Magalotti's text includes accounts of experiments on temperature and air pressure including Torricelli's invention of the barometer the velocity of sound and light phosphorescence magnetism amber and other electrical bodies the freezing of water etc. The many fine plates in this translation illustrate the Accademia's work as well as Musschenbroek's own subsequent experiments. :: Wolf History of science I pp. 55-59.2 parts in 1. / Musschenbroek 1692-1761 professor of natural philosophy and mathematics at Utrecht and later professor of experimental physics at Leyden. He was one of the most celebrated physicists and investigators of his time; the experiments he describes are classics in primary instruction. / "Musschenbroek's earliest account of electricity 1731 the estimable notes to his Latin translation of the Saggi is fuller more circumspect and less coherent than 's Gravesande's which he later entertained favorably. Two curious points emerge from the notes. To resolve the discrepancy between the results of Boyle and Hauksbee who respectively did and did not succeed in generating electricity in vacuo Musschenbroek hit on an unprecedented and prescient idea; remarking that Boyle used amber and Hauksbee glass he concluded that these substances have different electricities. . . The second point concerns repulsion. Musschenbroek records without emphasizing Hauksbee's observation that light bodies are sometimes repelled farther than they are attracted; he squeezes it into a note that also gives an excellent prescription for rubbing the tube :: always end with your hands together :: and a warning about atmospheric humidity. He does not recognize that the Saggi require updating about repulsion and concentrates on the perplexing behavior of screens the opacity of muslin and the transparency of glass." :: J. L.
