252 p. + Frontis portrait. 12 mo. 180 mm. Original full cloth binding, nicely lettered and decorated in gilt and black. Only very slightly worn. Inscribed presentation from the author to G. R. Cassaday, on the front flyleaf. Philosophical talks on the conduct of life. Unusual early California book. Hardbound. Almost fine. First (and only?) edition. Owen, the editor of the San Jose Daily Mercury, is most famous for making San Jose the first electrified city west of the Rockies. In 1881 he came up with a grand idea to illuminate the streets of San Jose - a huge tower rising over the intersection of Santa Clara and Market Streets. Using his newspaper's influence, he obtained $4,000 in funding (from early venture capitalists?) and constructed a tower 237 feet high with a 30-foot flagpole on top. Six carbon arc lamps shone down from the top. It was an interesting idea, but Owen's ability to raise money far exceeded his knowledge of physics. The bright light from the arcs faded too quickly to adequately light the streets below. The tower proved irresistible to drunks, who wanted to climb it, and farmers complained that its glow disturbed their chickens. By 1884, the tower was mostly abandoned and lit only for special occasions. AMER 8
