  • Publisher: Houghton Mifflin Company
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company, 1965. First edition of the historian's classic work on the Kennedy administration's first thousand days. Octavo, original black cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, "For Ben with regards Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr." Fine in a near fine price-clipped dust jacket. A Thousand Days is "at once a masterly literary achievement and a work of major historical significance" (New York Times). One of the few now classic works regarding the Kennedy White House years. The noted historian Schlesinger's name is inseparable from the president's administration he so influenced. Schlesinger role as former college-attendee and later speechwriter to Kennedy served to cast the Kennedy White House years more as America's Camelot. "From The Age of Jackson to The Age of Roosevelt to the two Kennedy biographies (which could as easily have been called 'The Age of the Kennedys'), Schlesinger can be seen to have written a gapped history of 150 years of 'triumphant liberalism'" (Boston Globe). Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award, this is the classic study of the presidency of John F. Kennedy as told by a master historian who had the advantage of personally witnessing the great and tragic events of which he writes. "Of all the Kennedy books . . . this is the best." (Time).

  • Publisher: Charles Bleeg, Bert Pilkington, Oregon Agricultural College,
[Portland & Corvallis, OR: Charles Bleeg, Bert Pilkington, Oregon Agricultural College, 1911-1912]. Oblong folio. 15.25 x 11.25 in. [46 pp (unpaginated).], on thick brown paper stock, all w/ die-cut slots. With 137 photos on matte finish photo paper, and Real Photo Postcard paper stock, sized 3.5 x 5.5 in. up to 5 x 7 in., many w/ ink annotations on versos, some of the RPPC w/ MS ALS & postal cancels on versos. Contemporary limp brown cloth post-binder, gilt lettering stamped on front cover, punch sewn at gutter margin w/ brown silk braid (minor creasing, edgewear, minor bumping to yapp edges), still VG exemplar w/ most of the images retaining bright strong contrast. This Progressive Era photo album serves as an exceptional visual record of sporting life in Oregon and Pacific Northwest in the early 20th Century. The album opens with a number of photographs on photo paper stock and Real Photo Postcard paper stock depicting amateur teams in the Pacific Northwest, including players wearing uniforms marked with CH, H within Diamond border, and Columbia Hardware team uniform. There are also several images of the Oregon Agricultural College (now OSU) baseball team, including image of Walter â??Keck going for first baseâ? in May, 1911. Keck was center fielder for the 1910-1911 OAC baseball team; â??Max Meyer - Twirlingâ? for his wind-up as pitcher for the 1911 team, with note on verso from Bert to Charles asking him if â??have you anything on the Popcorn Kings that has anything on this fellow?;â? or â??Our Ball Playersâ? with Bert writing that â??Mysterious Walker and his bunch of ball tossers. Walker is second from left. Moore was kicked out.â? Bert also sent a few images of the OAC Regiment passing in review, marching, and the assembly hall at the College. Also included are shots of fishermen and strings of fish in and around Forest Grove, the Wilson River, and views of hiking and wagons driving on the beach near Cannon Beach and Ecola, Oregon, together with views of the Cannon Beach Home inn, and the group standing atop a massive Douglas Fir tree stump next to the cabin. In addition, to images of baseball teams playing, there are also photos of the Beaverton July 4th celebration in 1911, view of the Hotel Beaverton with flags and bunting draped across the front, and crowds in the street. An RPPC addressed to Charles from â??Kennethâ? alias â??Crookyâ? details games played by the Emporia State Normal School against the Aggies with score of 6-6, won 7-2 against the Kansas State Manual Trade School when he suffered a concussion, and were playing the Kansas State Normals at Emporia later that week in 1911. One of the auto camping photos shows Bert Pilkington and his wife Annie Bleeg Pilkington (Charlesâ?? older sister) setting with their two children against their touring car and auto tent, whiles others depict hiking in the forest, and fishing alongside the stream. The remainder of the album focuses on the 1912 fishing adventures by Charles Bleeg, and friends including Warren Woodard, and â??Doc Wadsworthâ? as they drove from Forest Grove along the Wilson River to Tillamook and fishing and camping along the way. The images show the 1912 Schacht Brass Era touring car, members of the fishing party with their surprising amounts of catches of trout, camp scenes, digging out the Schacht from the mud alongside the rough roads, and the bucolic beauty of rural Oregon at the time. Four of the images are larger and include a â??Flashlightâ? view of the group seated amidst their camping equipment, laundry hanging above their heads, hatchets on the wall behind, and fishing equipment, while others show fishing rods, creels, and equipment, and fish literally spilling out in a cornucopia and labeled â??A dayâ??s sport -- on the Big Nestucca, August 15, 1912.â? Bleeg (1891-1979) worked for Archer & Combs who were wholesale hardware dealers specializing in automobile parts in the Brass Era, and also sold automobiles such as the Schacht. The company later became Archer & Wiggins, and he also worked for other firms in Portland, OR while attending North Pacific College to become a dentist like his older brother Fred Bleeg. After graduating in 1915, and serving in World War I, he set up offices in the historic Selling Building on NE 21st Ave. in Portland where his practice remained until the 1950â??s. His son Charles Henry Bleeg (1922-2018) founded and operated the very successful Bleeg Motors on 16th & Sandy which was the oldest continuously operating car dealer in Oregon, and in fact he remained in his offices working up to his death. Pilkington (1879-1937) was captain of the Oregon Agricultural College football team from 1904-1905, and later became professor of chemistry, as well as athletic coach. He married Bleegâ??s older sister who had attended OAC in 1907, and often referred to Charles in his notes on the RPPCâ??s as â??Otter.â?

Two-volume set in stiff cardboard box, 1st and only printing. The books are like new, but the box has some dents: see images. This is indexer Steven Moore's copy (=seller). He worked for over two months on it, not only supplying a 70-page index (printed in both volumes), but also proofreading it and contributing to the annotations. (Editor Burns acknowledges his help on p. xxxiv.) His signature appears on the first page of vol. 1, otherwise the text is immaculate. No jacket, as issued. For sale only in the U.S. due to its heavy weight.

The book is in fine condition, no interior markings, pages all clean, minimal shelf wear, only a barely visible browning at the base of the spine. This edition includes a photograph of Frost with a facsimile signature, opposite the title page. The dust jacket is worn, but the titles on front and spine are intact. The jacket would benefit from a protective cover, but I left it off to show the condition more clearly. Overall, this is an excellent copy of a signed 1st edition by Frost.

The First Edition. 294 pp. deep purple boards, spine and a one inch edge of front board sun-faded, the rear paste down shows signs of a bookplate removed, spine professionally restored, internally tight and good. These essays were previously printed anonymously in Temple Bar Magazine. He covers Tennyson, Browning, Swinburne, Arnold, Morris, Roman Catholic Poets, the Poetry of the Future, Supernatural Poetry. Austin thought Tennyson hugely overrated, not even in the third rank. This from a man who later wrote the "immortal" words about the King's illness, "along the wires the electric message came, he is not better, he is much the same."

London: Kegan Paul, Trench, Trübner & Co., Ltd,, 1930. First edition of the psychical researcher and anthropologist's study of occult history, ranging from ancient Egypt to Greece and Rome. From 1922 to 1927, Dingwall (1890-1986) was research officer at the Society for Physical Research, which involved investigating the veracity of mediums and spiritualist phenomena. He used his skills as a member of the Magic Circle to expose several potential frauds along the way, including Eusapia Palladino and Eva Carrière. Between 1927 and the publication of this work, his interests had moved towards anthropology, and in the following decade he travelled across the world "studying 'rare and queer customs', and 'abnormal mental phenomena'" (ODNB). The series was published by Psyche, a quarterly review of general and applied psychology, and included works on medicine, occultism, and sexuality. Small octavo. Original brown paper boards, red backstrip with paper label printed in red, front cover printed in red. Spine faded, extremities rubbed, front cover with reprice label, a handful of pencil annotations to contents: a very good copy.

  • Publisher: printed for James Ridgeway, Piccadilly
London: printed for James Ridgeway, Piccadilly, 1814. First edition, 8vo, pp. iv, 259 [i.e., 260], xlvi, [2]; original blue paper-covered boards, brown paper shelfback, printed paper label on spine; label rubbed, spine ends chipped, corners bumped; all else very good. Among those testifying before the committee were Morris Birbeck and Arthur Young, agricultural and travel writer, and at the time secretary to the Board of Agriculture. "The Corn Laws were a deeply divisive issue in the first half of the nineteenth century. Against the backdrop of a strained post-war economy, Tory Prime Minister Lord Liverpool passed the Corn Laws in 1815. These laws placed tariffs on cereal grain imported from other countries such as wheat and maize to favour domestic agriculture. The price of grain had to reach 80 shillings a quarter, or near famine inducing levels, before foreign imports would be allowed ... Objections to the Corn Laws from all levels of society were evident from the moment they were enacted. On 20th March 1815, at the third reading of the Bill in the House of Lords, a formal protest was entered by eleven peers, including two members of the Royal Family: the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Gloucester. Despite intense and mounting opposition for decades, the Corn Laws were not repealed until 1846" (Dr. Katie Carpenter at committees[dot]parliament.uk).
