Description
Amsterdam: Henric Wetstenium, 1692. Title in red and black with a small vignette. Contemporary vellum over boards, triple fillets enclosing double fillets with corner-pieces, with large center floral-decoration in blind, front and back; upper board separating, but still solid; red and black marbled endpapers, text somewhat soiled and spotted throughout. From the library of Schulbibliothek des Gymnasiums zu Salzwedel, with discard stamp and small German ownership signature. This second volume, complete in itself, is famous for the author's work on women philosophers. Diogenes Laertius is the prime source of biographical information on Greek philosophers and the present volume, by Aegidius Menagius (Gilles Ménage of Angers, 1613-92), presents the commentator's elaborate notes on this author. Perhaps more interesting to modern readers is the small "Historical account of philosophic women" which includes, among many others, both Aspasia and Hypatia. That work Aegidius dedicated to the classicist Anna Dacier.

Description
New York: Wm. C. Locke & Co, 1851. Wrappers chipped at edges, professionally rebacked, some unobtrusive offsetting on map. 8vo. 50 pages. Large folding map on three joined sheets (21 x 1788 cm; 8.25 x 61.75 inches). 11 woodblock illustrations in text (and with 2 more not recorded in the index but always present). Original printed wrappers with woodblock vignette. SCARCE Hudson River Railroad travel guide published the first year in which the full line was completed. It covers points of interest along the route, with woodblocks illustrating the text. Topics include: the history of the Hudson River, the history of the construction of the Hudson River Railroad, and the cities, towns and villages along the Hudson, from New York City all the way to Troy.  Concerning the West Point Foundry at Cold Spring, the guide states: "the iron foundry [was] established here by Gouverneur Kemble. The works are situated about a mile west of the village, upon a small stream which tumbles rapidly down the mountains, affording considerable water power. It is the largest establishment of its kind in the country, employing nearly five hundred hands constantly." The building of the Hudson River Railroad is another topic in the guide. The project was considered highly impractical, since much of the route had to be cut through extremely difficult rock and terrain. This section includes a description of the tunnels which had to be constructed.  The railroad was opened in three stages. In September 1849, it allowed passengers to travel from New York to Peekskill. By that December 6, twenty-three additional miles were opened, extending to New Hamburg. By the 31st of the month, it was open the remaining distance of nine miles to Poughkeepsie.  The Hudson River Railroad was an extension of the Troy and Greenbush Railroad, which was chartered in 1845, connecting Troy South to Greenbush (now Rensselaer) on the east side of the Hudson. The Hudson River Railroad was chartered on May 12, 1846 to extend this line south to New York City. The full line opened on October 3, 1851, the same year in which this travel guide was published. WorldCat/OCLC records 25 copies, but it is scarcely found complete with the map, and the map is also excluded from the digitized versions available online.

Cambridge: Harvard U.P., 1930. Strong, Richard Pearson (1872-1948), ed. The African republic of Liberia and the Belgian Congo. 2 vols. xxvi, 568; ix, 569-1064pp. 8 color plates; text illustrations and maps. Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1930. 264 x 191 mm. Original maroon cloth, gilt-lettered spines and front covers, light edgewear and finger-soiling. Very good. Presentation Copy, inscribed by Strong to the dedicatee, Harvey S. Firestone Jr. (1898-1973) on the front free endpaper: "To Harvey S. Firestone, Jr. With much admiration for the success of his work carried out in Liberia under such difficult circumstances, and with gratitude for all the assistance he gave us in the prosecution of our investigations in that country from Richard P. Strong. Boston, Sept. 15th 1930." First Edition. The detailed record of the findings of the Harvard Medical African Expedition of 1926-27 to Liberia and the Belgian Congo, led by Strong - Harvard's first professor of tropical medicine - and largely underwritten by the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company. We are offering the copy that Strong presented to Harvey S. Firestone junior, president of the Firestone Foundation, to whom the work is dedicated. The primary purpose of the Harvard expedition was to conduct a medical and biological survey of Liberia, where Firestone intended to establish extensive rubber plantations to ensure a cheap and steady supply of raw materials for the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company. The Liberian interior was almost unknown to the West, so the Harvard team had to create accurate maps of the country's geographical features as the expedition progressed. After exploring Liberia, the expedition crossed Africa from west to east through the Belgian Congo in order to make a comparative study of its Liberian findings. The expedition was a success, returning with an enormous number of biological specimens (including a gorilla, still on display at the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zoology), and a wealth of information on local customs, indigenous diseases, native wildlife, etc. Garrison-Morton.com 12459. .
