Second edition, reprinted (with considerable additions, including six acquatint plates), from the New Sporting Magazine. "A most valuable and important book for the sporting life of the period, aptly described by Newton as 'a biography of a man that reads like a work of fiction" (Tooley). Portrayal of the British eccentric and rake John Mytton by Charles James Apperley (Nimrod): "My only fear is, that I may be deficient in strength of pencil to draw the picture to the life, and to represent the anomaly in human nature which the character of the late John Mytton presents; at one time an honor to his nature; at another, a satire on humanity." With eighteen extraordinary aquatints by H. Alken and T. J. Rawlins. Contains eight pages of advertisements of Ackermann publications at rear. Light wear along edges. Some staining to margins at middle of first few pages through preface, not affecting text or images.

Urbana, IL: Not Published, 1939. Contemporary linen cloth.. Very good.. 4to, [12], 205 pp. + numerous mounted original photographs, plans, charts, and maps. The Bartlett Dam was a multiple arch, reinforced concrete dam erected on the Verde River 36 miles northeast of Phoenix between 1936-1939. It was the highest dam of its type in existence. It was built by the Dept. of the Interior for the Salt River Water Users Association to store flood water of the Verde River to render unnecessary the lowering of the reservoir along the Salt River during growing season. The report covers all facets of construction, supply, and planning for the dam from the initial concrete plant through completion. It is thorough and highly detailed. The construction photographs are especially useful.
