Description
New York: G A Leavitt & Co., Auctioneers, [1878]. First Edition. Contemporary three quarter leather & marbled bds. - bound by Blackwell. Original printed wrappers in place.. Near fine.. 8vo, viii, 201pp. + frontispiece portrait. Each lot priced and identified throughout. The first of five of Daly sales that took place prior to WWI. This first part composed of many items relating to theater history and original plays benefits from the fact that it contains a manuscript record of the price and purchaser for all 1117 lots. One can therefore trace the origin of some of the Havemeyer sale items in 1914 as well as Stone, Morton, Young, Grey, Bond, King, Willis, Bentley etc. Daly himself was an accomplished playwright and director whose career reads like something of dream come true in the New York theater. Along the way he amassed an enormous library that was "lost" and renewed several times in his life. DAB V, 42 - 45; McKay #2416.

Description
1904. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1904. Original red cloth. First Edition of the author's third collection of short stories. The title story is quite appropriate more than a century later: an eminent scientist decides to have a bit of a joke on the general public by publishing a perfect parody of the kind of pseudo-scientific nonsense that... is just a little bit too believable to make disproving it an easy task. His book a resounding success, and the public clamoring for more, the professor faces a dilemma: let everybody down by exposing his satire, thus earning eternal enmity and likely ostracism, or give in to the public for more of the same [Sherrod]. This is a fine, bright copy; atypically, the red spine is NOT faded. Garrison A9.I.a. Provenance: bookplate of the collector Christopher Clark Geest.
