Description
Nashville, TN: n.p., 1930. Very good.. Archive a student who received his BS, MA and PhD at Peabody, as well as that of his wife, who also graduated from Peabody with a BS. The couple were both heavily involved in the school, members of numerous social organizations, and active in student government (he was president of the senior class of '26). The promotional material in the collection shows that the college, which had reorganized and opened a new campus directly across from Vanderbilt University in 1914, was in the midst of major construction and expansion projects during this time; many pieces show photographs and renderings of new or planned buildings. The college, at that time the largest teachers' college in the South, was incorporated into Vanderbilt in 1979. A varied education archive, particularly rich with detail of curricula and student life. Collection of 100+ items/3" linear approx. belonging to student of Peabody College for Teachers, comprised primarily of personal papers relating to the student's course materials, schedules, receipts, graduation forms and invitations, a photograph of classmates, social club rosters, directories, correspondence, and promotional material issued by the college including brochures, newsletters, bulletins, solicitations, alumni association and other assorted materials. Some toning, wear. Generally very good.

Description
London: Edward Moxon, 1856. Apparently the FIRST EDITION. 200 x 130 mm. (7 7/8 x 5 1/8"). viii, 355 pp. (bound with the half title and with an inserted plate as frontispiece).Edited by Alexander Dyce. VERY PLEASING SLIGHTLY LATER DARK BROWN CRUSHED MOROCCO, ATTRACTIVELY GILT, covers with French fillet border and elegant botanical cornerpieces, raised bands, heavily gilt spine in compartments featuring elaborate scrolling cornerpieces, an intricate fleuron centerpiece, and tiny circlets, turn-ins with plain and stippled rules and filigree gilt decoration at corners and midpoints of two sides, textured (silk?) brown and cream millefleur-patterned endpapers, all edges gilt. EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED WITH 55 PORTRAIT PLATES, five in color, all with tissue guards. Verso of the front free endpaper with the engraved bookplate of Robert B. Lawrence. A hint of browning to some of the inserted plates, but A FINE AND HANDSOMELY BOUND COPY, the text especially fresh, clean, and smooth, and the binding bright and virtually unworn. This is a tastefully bound collection of anecdotes and witty banter recorded by poet Samuel Rogers, whose private means made his gracious home in Westminster a gathering place for the poets and artists of the age. Scion of a wealthy banking family, Rogers (1763-1855) achieved fame with the publication of "The Pleasures of Memory" in 1792. His friend Alexander Dyce, who compiled the present work, tells us in the preface that Rogers "was in the habit of writing down, in all their minutiae, the anecdotes, &c. with which his conversation abounded." These records provide us with an intriguing glimpse of literary society in London in the first half of the 19th century. Our second work, "Porsoniana," contains anecdotes about the "very eminent Greek scholar" Richard Porson (1759-1808), related to Dyce by that individual's close friend William Morby. This edition is one of at least three printings that were issued by Moxon in the initial publication year, and it would seem to be the first appearance of the text. In any case, our volume has the added feature of 55 inserted engravings of the persons discussed in the book. Although the binding is apparently unsigned, the owner's bookplate on the front flyleaf is placed near enough to the top edge that it may be obscuring a stamped binder's signature. The work displayed here is certainly of high enough caliber to have been produced by Riviere or Zaehnsdorf..

Description
friendship album, poetry, women's history, motherhood, infant death A friendship album belonging to Mary Ann Pratt (1813- c.1880) who lived in Livonia, NY, dating from 1829-1835. The majority of the album entries are from 1830-1832 and appear to be from her local friends from the surrounding towns of Mt. Morris, and Dansville, NY, though there are a few entries from 1834-1835 after her marriage to Frederick Stanley (c. 1807- c. 1870). The entries mostly consists of poems, with some original works, as well as short notes, whose general themes touch on memory, friendship, morality, heaven, and time. There is a acrostic poem of Mary's full name done by her friend, Bradner. There are three (3) pages of tucked in the pages with different verses dealing with the death of an infant child. It is unclear who wrote these poems as they are neither addressed to Mary Ann, or signed and or dated by a friend or family member. Additionally, no record of Mary Ann losing an infant child could be found, though that is not uncommon. Although the poems are sometimes titled incorrectly on the page, they were able to be properly attributed to their originally authors, in doing so, it was noted that in one poem the physical descriptions of the dead child within the poem were changed (blue eyed to black eyed). The poems used are, with incorrect titles in [ ]: "To a Young Mother" by Charles Sprague, "Death of an Infant [The Dead Infant]" By Charles Sprague, and "Lines on the Death of My Much Loved Infant [On the Death of My Dear Little Babe]" by Charlotte. Brown marbled covers. Red and brown marbled end papers. Nearly completely filled. Measures 9" x 7". Below are some excerpts from the entries in the album: "Be assured dear Miss Pratt, that I feel a deep and tender interest in your present and future welfare. That you may be so happy as to secure the favour [sic] of that blessed 'One', whose outstretched arms are ready to encircle you in the embrace of everlasting love, is the sincere desire of your friend." - Excerpt from entry by Austus E. Stow, Livonia, NY, October, 29, 1829 "In summer's beauteous sky afar I view the lovely evening star Its beam ray The poets say Illumes [sic] the path for Cupid's ear Perhaps its course may sometimes be the star-lit path But love would see A fairer light More pure and bright in J.....'s eyes So guide to me." - Entry by 'C. N. B.', inferred to C. N. Beecher based on other entries, Dansville Village, NY, October 19, 1829. The excerpt is from the poem a 'Trifle from the French' published in the American Masonic Record and Albany Saturday Magazine "Thou rarest a tribute, from my pen A tribute due to friendship shrine White pleasure I will grant the boon; And tender forth my thoughts in rhyme. The time I've set a part to thee, Shall not be spent in flattery, I will not say that in thee are combined..." - Entry from original poem by Bingham, Mt. Morris, January 31, 1830. "There is a world we have not seen That time shall never dare destroy; Where mortal footsteps hath not been Nor earth hath caught tis sound of joy." - Excerpt from entry by Almira Bacon, Mt. Morris, February, 22, 1830, attributed to a poem or hymn called 'The World We Have Not Seen' "I laid my hands upon her brow and it was damp and cold, her black [sic, blue] eye was glazed and fixed, the fearful tale was told, I gently pressed her little lips, I felt her parting breath, I gazed upon her little face, I asked can this be death?" - Excerpt from Interfoliata entitled "On the Death of my Dear Little Babe", it is actually from a poem entitled "Lines on the Death of My Much Loved Infant" by Charlotte Mary Ann Pratt was born in or around 1813 to Jedediah Pratt (1786-1821) and Parna Barker (?-?) mostly like in Albany County, NY. She lived in Livonia, NY in the 1830s. She married Frederick Stanley (c. 1807- before 1870) in or around 1835 and had several children together: Emily Caroline Stanley Parshall (1836-1908), Cornelia Amanda Stanley (1842-1926), William W. Stanley (1845-1926). Mary Ann's exact date of death is unknown, but it appears that she died sometime before 1880, and is buried with her husband in Waverly, NY. Moderate rubbing and edge wear. Some pages are detached. General soiling due to age.

Salt Lake City, UT: Elden J. Watson, 1971. First edition. Hardcover. 672pp. Octavo [23 cm] Blue cloth with gilt titles on the front board and backstrip. Index. Very good. The covers are slightly cocked. The edges of the spine and covers are gently bumped and rubbed. The gilt stamped title on the front cover has faded. There is very minor soiling on the edges of the text block. There are two blind stamps from a previous owner on the first several pages. One of 500. This volume is described by the author as "a reasonably accurate copy of the journal kept for Brigham Young by his scribes during the exodus from Nauvoo, and as such might reasonably be considered Volume VIII of the history of the Church edited by B. H. Roberts (documentary)." The binding style looks similar to the History of the Church, and the author claims this was intentional. He envisioned this volume sitting side by side with the 'History' set.

Magdeburg: Hinrichshofen's Verlag [PN H.V. 12946], 1930. Small folio. Full dark green cloth, titling gilt to spine. 46 pp. Binding slightly worn, rubbed, and bumped.; upper hinge split. Minor browning to edges. First Edition. Rufer (E) pp. 57-58. GA B/14/1, pp. 20-21. "In 1929 Schönberg was commissioned by the Heinrichshofen Verlag in Magdeburg to write film music. The composer, who - as subsequent experiences in Hollywood were to reveal - even in financially difficult situations would never have agreed to play a subordinate role to a director's or producer's conception of art or even relinquish his formal independence for a pre-produced film, ignored the possible guidelines and oriented himself exclusively towards the key words "threatening danger, fear, catastrophe." As a result of this, the work can in fact be attributed to the broad sphere of programme music, but without describing precise situations or groups of people." © Arnold Schönberg Center.

Description
Ann Arbor, MI: The Legacy Press, 2025. softcover. Papermaking. 10 x 7 inches. softcover. 304 pages. For over two millennia, humans have made paper by inventing, improving, and adapting a range of tools and equipment to effectively create the best product. In the 20th century, European-style hand papermaking experienced a revival made possible by specialized studios and tools. This field of creative hand papermaking is small but robust, enabled by a key group of people: the toolmakers. These skilled makers build the equipment and tools essential to making paper by hand but receive little attention. This survey of fifteen makers across four continents gives center stage to these remarkable people, illuminating their personal paths towards these niche practices. Unfortunately, only a few are training successors while they age into retirement, even as interest in hand papermaking booms, but their stories inspire renewed commitment to learning how to make things - and, more importantly - how to make things work. Here, we listen to their voices, bring sustained attention to their vital contributions, and encourage a new generation of builders and tinkerers to advance hand papermaking. With 390 images. The people that Lee writes about detailing their critical contributions to the craft are: - Beater Builders: Helmut Becker (1931-2024), Howard Clark, Lee McDonald, David Reina, Peter Gentenaar, Mark Lander, and Robert Woodruff - Traditional Mouldmakers: Ron Macdonald (1933-2017), Serge Pirard (1974-2024), Claudine Latron, Timothy Moore - Contemporary Mould- and Toolmakers: John Gerard, Bob Walp, and Alejandro Geiler, Brian Queen Aimee Lee is an artist who makes paper, writes, and advocates for Korean papermaking practices as an Ohio Arts Council Heritage Fellow and Midwest Culture Bearer Awardee. Her Fulbright research led her to establish the first hanji studio in North America, to write an award-winning book, Hanji Unfurled (Ann Arbor, Mich.: The Legacy Press, 2012), and to establish an active studio practice that includes jiseung, joomchi, paper textile, botanical paper, and natural dyeing techniques. Her Fulbright Senior Scholar research focused on bamboo screens for hanji-making in Korea. She travels the world to teach, exhibit, and serves as a resident artist while also building and enhancing studios for Korean and East Asian papermaking.

Garden City NY: Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc.. Good+. 1930. First American Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [ex-rental library book with various stamps and a small label remnant on the ffep, minor bumping and light wear to extremities, moderate external soiling, a bit of wear along front joint]. A highly-regarded novel of the First World War, considered one of the first major works to be based on an author's personal combat experiences. Blaker (1893-1940), a Second Lieutenant in the Royal Field Artillery during the war, was gassed while serving as a forward observer and never fully recovered. Although he turned out a dozen or so books in the 1920s and 1930s and even did a bit of screenwriting (although apparently without ever achieving an on-screen credit), he's has fallen into such obscurity that he rates neither a Wikipedia page nor an entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. (Regarding his screenwriting: I deduce this from the presence of "film scripts and scenarios, with related notes" in his papers, housed at Oxford's Bodleian Library. Although I haven't uncovered any produced films bearing his credit, it's worth noting that he died in Los Angeles, and his Variety obit noted that his last screen assignment had been at the Goldwyn Studios.) .
