Description
1860. SADAHIDE,Gyokuransai and KANAGAKI, Robun. Yokohama Miyage. Two volumes 18x12cm, original decorated wrappers, (worn but solid) with original printed label on the first volume and an old manuscript replacement on the second; Each with 25 folded leaves all with colour woodcuts.. 8vo. wrappers. [Tokyo] : Gifuya Seishichi,1860. This is an early survey of Yokohama, published shortly after it was opened as a foreign port in 1859. Gifuya Seishichi initially issued it in five parts in 1860. This version is a compilation of the five parts without title pages and colophon. This would appear to be as issued, divided exactly in half in the middle of part three. NIJL (National Institute of Japanese Literature) illustrates the Yokohama City Library copy of the first volume identical to ours. Waseda has a copy in the same wrappers with parts four and five together. They also have parts one to three in the original form. This an extremely appealing work, one of whose features is that many of the plates can be joined together to form panoramas. The wrappers are a little grubby, nevertheless this is a rare, important and visually attractive book on Yokohama. OCLC lists a copy at Stanford

1883. First Edition. WIGGIN, Kate Douglas, under her maiden name SMITH, Kate Douglas. The Story of Patsy. San Francisco: C.A. Murdock, 1883. Slim 12mo, original printed paper wrappers; pp. 27. Housed in a custom cloth chemise and slipcase. $4500.Rare first edition of the author's first book, a fundraising tool for the kindergarten she founded, Silver Street Kindergarten, California's first free kindergarten.As the author of Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm, Kate Douglas Wiggin is often considered one of the finest American children's authors. Wiggin has been lauded frequently for her deep understanding of children and their inner lives, insight she likely gained from her time as a teacher. In fact, Wiggin established America's first free Kindergarten, the New Silver Street Kindergarten. Her efforts were so successful, that she co-founded a Kindergarten teaching school with her sister. This book, The Story of Patsy, was sold as a fundraiser for Wiggin's Kindergarten. Explaining her motivations, Wiggin wrote about the need to replenish the school's coffers and stated her desire to ""take in more of the babies waiting so wistfully in the back street."" She later wrote, ""I was far too close to the life I was picturing to make this book wholly worthy of its subject. I am well aware that it lacks perspective, and that it has more heart than art, but… how many girls read and flew to the nearest training school!… It was not published, only privately printed, bound in a paper cover, and sold here and there for 25 cents for the benefit of the cause."" Wiggin eventually left the Kindergarten—as was expected at the time—following her marriage to a New York businessman. Thereafter, she established a reputation as a prominent children's writer and education advocate, redirecting her knowledge and experience. Nevertheless, preliminary hints of Wiggin's writerly talents were clearly on display in this work, Wiggin's first book. First edition, without edition statement by publishers on page 2. The first commercial publication of this book was by Houghton Mifflin in 1889. Pencil owner gift inscription. Morocco bookplate in chemise.Interior generally fine, only light rubbing and soiling to fragile wrappers. A nearly fine copy of this great rarity.

Description
[Midwest U.S.]: n.p., 1917. Very good.. Album of storage tanks, agitators, and other liquid-related metal machinery photos compiled by the manufacturer, which - judging by the locations of most of its clients - was located somewhere in the Midwestern United States. A majority of the photos show a single piece of equipment, captioned with its order number, destination (e.g. "National Ice Cream Co., San Francisco"), the product name (e.g. "Deep Upright Closed Tank"), shipment date, dimensions, and other relevant notes; several images show the product installed in its destination factory, but most appear to have been taken before shipment. Many clients were ice-cream and other dairy processing plants, and the majority were American; but a few were international, including the Nestle plant in Switzerland and a Cuban brewery. Among the American non-dairy plants were the Coors brewery in Colorado, a Perth Amboy chemical plant, and a California paint manufacturer. Two images depict a dozen salesmen posing at the tank factory, and others show factory workers in motion. Likely assembled as a salesman's book (or perhaps company archive), with its many cyanotypes a striking vernacular book and an informative record of industrial food preparation at the dawn of the Ford age. Commercial string-tied album in black textured wraps. 58 cyanotype (11'' x 8.25'') and 55 gelatin-silver prints (most 9.5'' x 7.25'', some 6'' x 3.5'' or smaller); four of the latter apparently perished. Adhesive-mounted recto and verso on black paper sheets. Some glue-bleaching to cyanotypes' edges. Many pages cleanly detached from perforated tabs, but photos remain clean.

BROWNE, Sir Thomas
Seller
Rootenberg Rare Books & Manuscripts (United States)
Description
London: Henry Washbourne, 1845. Later edition. Half-morocco and marbled boards, spine in compartments with title and decorations in gilt. From the libraries of Ralph Starkweather, Thomas Westwood and Larry C. Parks. M.D. with their respective bookplates. Browne’s best known work is Religio medici, or The doctor’s religion, which is his own spiritual testament and an early example of a psychological self-portrait. The work represents Browne’s attempt to arrive at a vital concept of faith, one with tolerance, humor and dignity. First published in 1642, shortly after the author had qualified himself to practice medicine, Religio medici became a best-seller throughout the European continent and because of its unorthodox views. While largely an exposition of Christian faith the work meanders into digressions upon alchemy, hermetic philosophy, astrology, and physiognomy. Also included in this edition is Hydriotaphia, Urn Burial, or a Discourse of the Sepulchral Urns lately found in Norfolk and Christian morals. The first work revolves around the discovery of a Roman urn burial in Norfolk which Browne uses to discuss ancient and current burial and funerary customs and extends to a greater inquiry of man's struggles with mortality. The second, Christian morals, contains Browne’s advice for his children. It was first published posthumously in 1716 and consists of meditations upon Christian values and conduct. Browne (1605-82) received his M.D. at Oxford in 1637. He was a prolific author who wrote on a wide variety of subjects including medicine, religion, science and the esoteric. The first two works were edited by J.A. St. John; Christian morals was edited by John Jeffery and includes bibliographical references.

Description
London: Macmillan and Co, 1910. FIRST EDITION. Compete with half-title and frontispiece in both volumes and 14 additional plates. Red cloth, gilt spine, top edges gilt, corners slightly bumped; text is generally clean and bright throughout. An excellent copy. First edition of the most extensive and complete biography of Lord Kelvin (1824-1907), widely considered to be the founder of British physics. He was a foremost figure in the world of nineteenth-century science, particularly as a scientist involved with the practical application of theoretical physics as well as his numerous contributions to the field of physical instrumentation. Thompson details every aspect of Lord Kelvin’s life, from his childhood and early education, to his scientific breakthroughs and interactions with his contemporaries, his personal relationships, death, and the lasting effects of his research. Lord Kelvin’s achievements in physics, engineering, and thermodynamics are deep, far reaching, and still extremely applicable today. His research and experimentation produced the absolute temperature scale and the qualification of absolute zero, the point at which no further heat can be transferred. Additionally, Lord Kelvin’s work on the electric telegraph pioneered invaluable technology for wireless communication. Also, given his penchant for sailing and maritime activities, he developed a more accurate compass and invented a machine to predict the rise and fall of the tides. Thompson (1851-1916) was a respected professor of applied physics, electrical engineering, and the history of science and technology.

Description
St. Paul, Minnesota: Llewellyn Publications, 1991. 2nd Printing. Stapled Binding. Near Fine. 4x0x7. 2nd printing. Wrappers lightly scuffed, otherwise an excellent copy. 1991 Stapled Binding. 28, [2] pp. Discover the true nature of the inner workings of shamanism and how you can use them on your spiritual path, when you read The Truth About Shamanism by Amber Wolfe. Shamanism is an ancient system of spirituality that dates from the earliest beginnings of humanity. Its recent popularity may be due to its deep reverence for all life, and its ability to help you discover answers for a troubled world. You may be Christian, Wiccan, Jewish, Buddhist, Taoist, or Hindu and enter into shamanism. As long as you are connected to and in balance with the energies of Nature, you are on the shamanic path. The Truth About Shamanism is designed to give you the basic ideas and techniques of shamanism so you can determine if this ancient wisdom should become part of your spiritual system. This book includes vital information on: Lakota wisdom; Power objects; How to do a power object ceremony; Altered states of consciousness; Shamanic healing; Spirit walks; Harmony with the universe; Methods for entering the shamanic worlds; Divination through elements in nature. If you are interested in discovering what shamanism really is, The Truth About Shamanism is the ideal place to begin. Not only will you discover the root ideas of shamanism, you'll learn enough to lead you further in the shamanic path if that is your desire. Shamanism is not just a way of thinking and acting―it is a way of life, a way of living in harmony with everything around you. The shaman's path is truly the path of the Self, and you can learn to walk that path when you get The Truth About Shamanism.
