001NY: Charles Scribner's Sons 1903. Very Rare Book. Another indicator of it's rarity is the name of the Publisher. Publisher is Grosset & Dunlap of New York.<b>Grosset & Dunlap</b> is a United States book publisher founded in 1898. Book is in tack. Will need some restoration. Imaging finding a book from the late 1800 with a love note dedicating this book to Miss Carrie Duke. Rare edition thus. Hardcover. Orig. spine that is intact but needs restoration. Front and back cover intact. I searched the internet intensively and found pictures of first editions HOWEVER none of them had the love dedication note or the black trim around the title of the book. Information on Miss Carrie Duke listed below:Woman's Work in Kentucky." by Mrs. Eugenia Dunlap Potts. <br />Publication: Eagle Mary Kavanaugh Oldham ed. The Congress of Women: Held in the Woman's Building World's Columbian Exposition Chicago U. S. A. 1893. Chicago Ill: Monarch Book Company 1894. pp. 562-568.<br /><br />Susannah Hart the aunt of Mrs. Henry Clay raised and pulled the flax which she wove and spun into her wedding gown with an art so clever that she could draw the width through her wedding ring. She belonged to the wealthiest of those early families of note and was the wife of Gov. Isaac Shelby. She died at the age of seventy-two years at "Travelers' Rest" the grand old homestead which has never passed out of the Shelby family. She was the mother of ten children and her descendants are widely scattered. Mary Hopkins Cabell Breckinridge was a contemporary whose work can never die. Hers were not deeds of daring nor of tragic from the lurking Indian. Her power was in her eloquent conversation her strong opinions her decided views of duty. Her sons are orators and statesmen; her daughters are ambitious and progressive. Margaret Breckinridge a granddaughter devoted heart and hands to hospital work during the war of the Blue and the Grey; and by her gentle self-sacrificing ministering was named the "Angel of the hospitals." She said "Shall men die by thousands for their country and no woman risk her life" Still a younger generation is led by Miss Sophronisba Breckinridge who after years of travel in Europe studied law in her father's office. Mrs. Catherine Hunt the chatelaine of one of Lexington's proud homes reigned a queen in her domain. The train of servants the management of her handsome estate and all the demands upon the mistress of such possessions called for executive ability of rare degree. Hers was the thinking head and the guiding hand. The Baroness Burdett Coutts says: "Woman may be allowed to lead in acts of charity" and right nobly has she set this example. This woman Mrs. Hunt used her prerogative here. Sixty-one years ago when cholera wellnigh depopulated the Blue Grass capital she went forth on pious mission bent. Coming upon three desolate little children whose parents lay dead she said to a friend: "What shall we do with them Let us buy them a home." She opened her purse and established the Orphans' Home Lexington's oldest charitable institution where many little feet have found a resting place. Mrs. Henrietta Hunt Morgan was her daughter and the Hon. Francis Kay Hunt of legal celebrity was her worthy son. Mrs. Morgan presided over her household much after the manner of her bringing up. She was the mother of a remarkable family. Her sons were Gen. John Hunt Morgan Col. Calvin Morgan Capt. Charlton Hunt Morgan and Lieut. Thomas Morgan. Her daughters were the wives of Gen. A. P. Hill and of Gen. Basil W. Duke. Behold the evolution of the Kentucky girl if I may so term the greater liberty of today! Mrs. Henrietta Morgan Duke of Louisville Ky. one of our commissioners is a woman of incomparable qualities of heart and brain. She reflects the grandmother and mother in strength of character and in executive ability. Times have changed and she has risen to the demands. Her young daughter <b>Miss Carrie Duke</b> the violin virtuoso represents the fourth generation of this family. The ancient code would have held her captive but the liberty of the present sent her abroad to develop the divine genius that now sways multitudes. Another young descendant of Mrs. Hunt is Miss Lucy Lee Hill a World's Fair Commissioner who bravely and briskly went about the work of collecting exhibits; faithfully she has presided at the state building. Yet another great-granddaughter is Miss Eleanor Howard Morgan daughter of Capt. Charlton Morgan who entered Bryn Mawr College where her scientist brother Dr. Thomas Morgan holds the chair of biology. This young girl perfectly illustrates the fact that developing a woman's brain does not necessarily rob her of feminine charm. No lily of the valley breathing its delicate fragrance far below the gaze of man is more modestly environed; yet her influence pervades all the atmosphere about her. She inherits not the dash of her uncle the <b>cavalry chief</b> but the steady glow of woman's star when lit by the brilliancy of intellectual fire<br /><br />Since I don't have a true value of this book it may be priceless. I have decided to start at $5000.00. Grosset & Dunlap hardcover
9573Monterey KY: Larkspur Press 2006. Full Leather. Fine binding. Octavo. 4 36 4 pp. Limited edition number 9 of 75 copies on Somerset Book paper there was also an edition of 500 regular copies. Signed by Wendell Berry at the colophon; additionally noted by Fox the year it was bound. In full goatskin binding with a series of leather onlays tooled in gold and blind all creating a fantastic pictorial binding. Accompanying the binding is a fine paper portfolio with publisher's prospectuses samples and associated material; additionally some templates related to Fox's binding. All housed a custom clamshell by Fox. <br /> <br /> The text offers a lens into the 19th century view of how a native of region assesses the value of the natural wonders. Berry's commentary at the end of Allen's text brings the troubling viewpoint into a modern context: "The chapter is built upon a division of mind which in our time has become terrifying but which Allen believed to be no more than a simple equation. On the one hand in a sentimentally romantic fashion he was sensitive to the natural life of the area which was then still intact. And on the other hand he seems eager for the destruction of this virgin bounty that so inspired him. I say 'the destruction' and not 'the use' for his language is patently that of an exploiter intent upon 'conquering' nature." A sobering volume that will most surely always remain relevant.

The Art Palace was built for the 1902 Industry and Craft Exhibition for the Rhineland Westfalia and neighboring districts. <br /> <br /> The building of the Kunstpalast was in large part due to the efforts of Fritz Roeber director of the Düsseldorf Art Academy the painter Georg Oeder and the art historian Paul Clement in the late 1800s who were able to convince Heinrich Lueg director of the association for commerce that the time for another great art and commerce exhibition had come. The goal was the establishment of a new permanent venture for art exhibitions that was to become the center of the arts in the Rhinelands and Westfalia.

Archive of 21 autograph letters 18 by Curtis 3 by Fox signed to James Kortright Birch 1850-1927 plus a watercolor sketch of orchids and additional materials; list available on request. Penang Botanic Gardens Malaysia 12 December 1892 - 23 November 1904. Various sizes. Pin-holes in most of the letters one letter with a small portion of the margin cut away not affecting legibility a few edges frayed but very good.</p> <p> Remarkable scientific archive consisting primarily of letters from British botanist Charles Curtis the first superintendent of the famous Penang Botanic Gardens in Malaysia and the one primarily responsible for the Gardens' beautiful design. All of the letters in this archive deal with the identification of tropical plant species including orchids ferns flowering trees and shrubs fruits etc. They document Curtis's encyclopedic knowledge of both local and exotic species as well as his collecting activities and his collegial relationship with Kew Gardens in London. The recipient of the letters was James Kortright Birch a colonial governor of Penang and "a very keen gardener with considerable technical knowledge" who "did much to make the Penang Botanical Gardens the beauty spot that they are" obituary from The Singapore Free Press and Mercantile Advertiser 15 June 1927.</p> <p> Curtis gained his knowledge of tropical plants as a plant hunter for the well-known nursery firm of James Veitch & Sons. He traveled to Madagascar Borneo Sumatra Java and Mauritius to find new and rare botanical species some of which are named for him. In 1884 Curtis was appointed assistant superintendent of the Forests and Gardens Department in Penang and shortly afterwards was put in charge of the newly established Penang Botanic Gardens. During his 18 years as head of the Gardens Curtis worked tirelessly to transform the garden site an abandoned granite quarry into a beautiful park stocked with thousands of native and exotic plants intended to serve as a recreation area a botanical repository and a center for the cultivation of various species. In his spare time he put together his own collections of plants from Penang Burma and neighboring coastal areas sending samples to Kew Gardens in London and to Veitch & Sons. Curtis retired from the Penang Botanic Gardens in December 1903; he was succeeded by horticulturalist Walter Fox another expert on tropical plants who is also represented in this archive. </p> <p>. unknown books

Reynard the Fox 'hero of several medieval European cycles of versified animal tales that satirize contemporary human society. Though Reynard is sly amoral cowardly and self- seeking he is still a sympathetic hero whose cunning is a necessity for survival. He symbolizes the triumph of craft over brute strength usually personified by Isengrim the greedy and dull-witted wolf.The main literary tradition of Reynard the Fox descends from the extant French 'branches' of the Roman de Renart about 30 in number nearly 40000 lines of verse. The facetious portrayal of rustic life the camel as a papal legate speaking broken French the animals riding on horses and recounting elaborate dreams all suggest the atmosphere of 13th-century France' Merriam-Webster's Encyclopedia of Literature.
