Frank Joseph Forster (1886-1948) was an American architect who designed homes in the style of French Provincial architecture during the early 20th century. His architectural designs recreating French chateaus and English Tudor homes often featured turrets. He built several homes in Connecticut including a home in Greenwich, Connecticut that was home of singer Diana Ross. In 1927 and 1929 Forster won the Architectural League Medal for Domestic architecture. In 1933 he won the Better Homes Medal for his residential designs.
1888480London and New York, MacMillan, 1888. Three volumes bound in full vellum leather. First edition. Three delicately bound 155 x 220 mm (6" x 8.5") volumes of (xxxii) 592, 683 and 699 pp. Full caramel vellum leather, intricately ornated spines with 5 nerves, gilded frames and boxes containing lush greenery-inspired patterns and fleurons, all gilded, double titlepiece with the book title, author's name and volume Roman number on dark red and anthracite backgrounds, gilded floral frieze on the tails. Covers with double gilded frames and tiny corner flowers. All fore-edges colored in a mostly blue polychromia with marbled red veins. Gilded roulette work on the edges of the covers and pastedowns, colored endpapers. Unidentified ex-libris on the first pastedown bearing the motto "Ab Multis Ad Unum." With an unfolding map of "The Growth of the United States" at the beginning of the first volume. Table of contents at the beginning and index at the end of each volume. First volume: The National Government. Preface. Second volume: The State Government and the Party System. Third volume: Public Opinion, Illustrations and Reflections, Social Institutions. This book is not an encyclopaedia of the institutions of the American Republic, even though it may look like it is. Actually, James Bryce talks about the real workings of the institutions: parties, bosses, the spoil system and the public opinion. It shows an America already different from what the mere Constitution says. He compares the British monarchy with the American federal republic, the democratic versus lord elites and the centralization vs local power dynamics. By doing so, James Bryce predates the sociology of Robert Mitchels and Max Weber while maintaining the magnitude and depth of a true treatise. An analytical tour de force, worthy of a serious Americana collection.

20090271New Brunswick (NJ), Transaction Publishers, 2009. First edition. Octavo, 235 x 160 mm, (xiii) 265 pp. Hardcover with dust jacket. "The United States became a great power in the last quarter of the nineteenth century and a superpower during World War II without quite knowing it. Few Americans fully appreciate the fact today. How many people know that in recent years we have had 250,000 troops in 700 bases around the world? Consider our recent history of military operations in the Caribbean, East Asia, the Far East, Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa, and the Balkans. In America Rising, David Felix attempts to explain how and why America became a superpower by examining the political and economic factors that have driven its ascendance and their relationship throughout history. Felix begins with the dawn of America, showing how America amassed wealth and political power from the start through wars, assertions of economic might, and the creation of a cultural and philosophical base. The nation began with a political order, derived from our British origins, which enabled our pragmatic culture to take advantage of the vast wealth of a near-virgin continent. Political and economic freedom were paired, authority yielding to both freedoms. Our farmers and businessmen were dreamers, manufacturing realities out of those dreams. Felix's account then makes a point of neoclassical economics as an anvil on which to hammer out a sharper sense of the content of our existence. This book, which demonstrates the author's zest for historical analysis and great story-telling ability, points to the central fact of a rising America--the intensely energizing interaction between polity and economy. The United States is the greatest power in world history, but the rise of another great power, China, is beginning to be increasingly apparent. One trusts that, drawing upon its deep resources, America will remember its history and traditions and continue as a superpower." (Front and back flap)
