192758169Wilkes-Barre Pa: Smith-Bennett Corp. 1927. Scarce First Edition. A collection of letter tributes to Kirby and presented in this book form during a 1927 Christmas Party at the Hotel Sterling in Wilkes-Barre. Fred Morgan Kirby 1861-1940 was from Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania and the founder of the F. M. Kirby & Co. 5 & 10-cent Store chain and a philanthropist. Kirby’s company was a major rival of the much larger F. W. Woolworth & Co. and the two businesses merged in 1912. Fred Kirby became a Vice President of the F. W. Woolworth & Co. which was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The financial success of the F.W. Woolworth chain gave Fred Kirby in the early decades of the twentieth century an estimated fortune of approximately thirty to fifty million dollars. This enabled the businessman to establish the Fred Morgan Kirby Foundation. He became a shareholder in many other corporations including the Allegheny Railroad Company. He was also well-respected for his philanthropic spirit and he was a major benefactor to Wilkes-Barre the town where his success began. He donated the money for a community health center in memory of his mother Angeline Elizabeth Slater Kirby. He also donated the money for a park and its upkeep to be in the center of Wilkes-Barre as well as numerous other cultural institutions throughout the city. In addition to these philanthropic activities Fred Kirby became one of Lafayette College’s foremost benefactors. By far his most significant endowments to the college were for the establishment of the Fred Morgan Kirby Professorship of Civil Rights in 1921 and for the construction of the Kirby Hall of Civil Rights in 1929. The book contains laudatory letters from political leaders businessmen and religious leaders. A very scarce book!. Quarto brown limp faux-leather; unpaginated. Assembled and Presented by Hugh Weir.

1915177554Edinburgh: John Grant 1915. Updated edition presentation copy from the editor and his wife inscribed on her calling card mounted to the front pastedown "With all best wishes". This new and revised edition of one of Muir's famous Middle East histories was prepared by Thomas Hunter Weir. Margaret Weir translated several books on Islamic history including the main source used to update this edition. Sir William Muir 1819-1905 first released The Caliphate in 1891 which quickly became popular and ran to many editions. This edition incorporates new scholarship including Bell's volume of Greek papyri in the British Museum 1893 and Julius Wellhausen's Das arabische Reich und sein Sturz 1902. Margaret Weir 1865-1928 translated Wellhausen's book in 1927 under the title The Arab Kingdom and its Fall. Her translation was praised as an "excellent rendering of the German text" and "a work of high literary order" Bukhsh p. 40. She also proof-read the present volume and corrected the index p. ix. Muir spent most of his career serving as a colonial administrator in India holding the governorship of the North-Western Provinces between 1868 and 1874. His publications on Islamic history "were certainly controversial but because he was the first British scholar to attempt a popular interpretation of Islamic history based on study of the Arabic sources they were widely regarded as authoritative during the colonial era" ODNB. He was elected as president of the Royal Asiatic Society in 1884 and awarded the society's triennial jubilee gold medal in 1903. This work traces the history of the Rashidun Umayyad and Abbasid Caliphates from the death of Muhammad and the election of Abu Bakr in 632 to the fall of the Mamluk Sultanate in 1517. "It is however a really trustworthy and scholarly book. Muir sticks closely to his title-subject the Caliphate itself and does not allow himself to diverge to the history of the numerous Mahommedan dynasties which gradually sapped the Caliphs' power. For the first century of Moslem rule however it forms. the best and most readable authority we possess and no historical library can dispense with it" The Spectator. Octavo. Four colour folding maps diagrams in text. With 3 pp. of publisher's advertisements to rear. Original red cloth spine lettered in gilt covers ruled in blind top edge brown others untrimmed. Spine lightly sunned spine ends bumped maps lightly foxed otherwise bright: a very good copy. S. Khuda Bukhsh Studies: Indian and Islamic 1927; "The Caliphate: its Rise Decline and Fall" The Spectator 24 June 1899 p. 12. hardcover

Slight shelf wear to edges of D/J. Slightly sunned spine to D/J. This work is the outcome of a symposium held at The Zoological Society of London in June 1973 which focussed on the Hystricomorpha the rodent suborder comrptising the guinea-pig chinchilla coypu porcupine and about 180 other species living mainly in South America and Africa. Detailed asnatomical and endocrinological studies show the internal diversity of the group and a series of papers draws attention to its interesting reproductive physiology. Accounts of some of the species in their natural habitats and the synthesis of behavioural patterns serve to remind us that these animals are not just common domestic or laboratory animals but ones that have an intriguing past and an increasingly valuable future in bio-medical research. Here then is a reference work which contains much new information in the form of reviews and syntheses of the various biological subject areas of this extraordinary group of rodents. its publication will be welcomed by zoologists and members of the various disciplines represented including ecologists conservationasts reproductive phsyiologists biochemists and anatomists.
