Seller: Whitmore Rare Books

Title: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn
Author: Twain, Mark [Samuel L. Clemens]
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: New York: Charles L. Webster and Company, 1885. First American edition. Very Good. A Very Good copy of the book. Inner hinges repaired and first blank excised, otherwise a fairly clean, bright copy overall. With all three generally accepted first printing points. Frontis bust of Twain in the first state. Recounting the adventures of Huckleberry Finn as he flees his own abusive father and aids Jim in his escape from slavery, Twain's novel has been praised for its "distinctly American voice," putting at its center two common people who find an uncommon friendship. "Today perhaps the novel's greatest significance lies in its conception of childhood, as a time of risk, discovery, and adventure. Huck is no innocent: He lies, steals, smokes, swears, and skips school. He accepts no authority, not from his father or the Widow Douglas or anyone else. And it is the twin images of a perilous, harrowing odyssey of adventure and perfect freedom from all restraints that so many readers find entrancing" (Mintz). A metaphor for a young and rebellious nation, as well as its individualist inhabitants, Huckleberry Finn defies genre by being simultaneously an adventure story, a road novel, a coming of age tale, an expression of nostalgia for the expansive natural spaces lost to industrialization, and an exploration of race and class. Listed on the American Scholar 100 Best American Novels and one of the 100 Best Novels Written in English. BAL 3415. MacDonnell, 31. Very Good.

Description: In: Transactions of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, Volume XXI. Cambridge:: University Press, 1912., 1912. 280 x 229 mm. 4to. Pages 123-128; 171-196; 257-280. [Entire volume: vi, 481 pp.] Full brown cloth; lightly freckled, spine ends frayed. Blind stamp of the Carnegie Institution, Washington, D.C. Very good. FIRST EDITIONS. "General theories had little attraction for Bateman; he was a master of the special instance. Much of his work consisted of finding special functions to solve partial differential equations. . .. Bateman's most significant single contribution to mathematical physics was a paper (1909) in which, following the work of Lorentz and Einstein on the invariance of the equations of electromagnetism under change of coordinates of constant velocity and constant acceleration, he showed that the most general group of transformations which reserve the electromagnetic equations and total charge of the system and are independent of the electromagnetic field is the group of conformal maps of four-dimensional space." DSB, I, pp. 499-500. Bateman was given a PhD by Johns Hopkins in 1913, a year after this paper, and it is highly irregular that he had more than60 published papers to his name already by the time of his advanced degree – an astonishing achievement for a PhD student. He was already “an extremely eminent mathematician” [MacTutor]. Among his few other interests, one was chess – which he played competitively.

An appeal for lighter and more consistent regulation of sales of alcoholic beverages in public-houses, including taverns and hotels, and an appeal for even handed applications of regulations and prosecutions in the courts. The author lays part of the blame for England's gin problem at the feet of the license system.
