Description
Atlanta: Atlanta University Press, 1916. First edition. Fine.. Rare installment of this important and influential scholarly series, including W.E.B. Du Bois's essay "Races of Men." The Atlanta University Publications was a numbered series of monographs published by Atlanta University, with text and other content drawn from information presented at the annual Conferences for the Study of Negro Problems. As University president Horace Bumstead explained the series' origins: "One was the inauguration, for the first time in any American college, of a thoroughly scientific study of the conditions of Negro life, covering all its most important phases, and resulting in a score of annual Atlanta University Publications, conceded to be the highest authority" (quoted in Morris 91). Gathering speeches, studies, and other data from that annual event, the university issued these groundbreaking sociological annuals until 1917 when publication was halted for financial reasons. Taken as a whole, the Atlanta University series presented the most comprehensive sociological study of Black America available at the time, and covered topics pertaining to African American health, economics, culture, discrimination, education, family life, and the like. In his autobiography, Du Bois (who edited most of the volumes and contributed much of the text) wrote of the series' importance: "For 13 years we poured forth a series of studies; limited, incomplete, only partially conclusive, and yet so much better done than any other attempt of the sort in the nation that they gained attention throughout the world." This installment includes works by Frederick H. Means ("A Review of the Atlanta University Conferences and Social Studies"), Felix von Luschan ("Anthropological View of Race"), Franklin P. Mall ("Anatomical Characters of the Human Brain"), R.S. Woodworth ("Racial Differences in Mental Traits"), W.I. Thomas ("The Mind of the Savage"), Franz Boas ("Old African Civilizations" and "Race Problems in the United States"), and Alexander F. Chamberlain ("The Contribution of the Negro to Human Civilization"). All titles in this series are now scarce, with most copies either purchased for libraries or discarded, and are rare in this condition. A beautiful example from this pioneering scholarly project. 8.75'' x 6''. Original brown printed wrappers. 108 pages. Atlanta University Publications No. 20. Trace wear. Else bright, sharp, and sound.

Very good plus.
Description
New York: McLoughlin Bros, 1910. Very good plus.. Scarce Louis Wain title featuring a variety of cats acting out Bingham's humorous verse. Known as "The Edwardian Cat Artist That Went Mad," Wain was once "the most famous cat artist on earth" (Haining). His work in conceiving an entire Catland inspired the creators of Felix the Cat and even Mickey Mouse; Haining notes that Wain also "played a major part in making the cat the most popular of all domestic pets." The angry reading cat on the cover of this title is worth the price of admission alone. Quarto. Pictorial wraps. Cover art and interior illustrations by Wain.

Description
London: Printed for D. Midwinter et al., 1737. FIRST EDITION. 210 x 127 mm. (8 1/4 x 5"). Two volumes.. Early 19th century sprinkled calf, flat spines divided into panels by double gilt rules, gilt rampant lion stamp of Sir William Gordon Cumming in head panels, red and black morocco labels. Front pastedown of volume II with ink ownership inscription of "W. Cecil Simpson / Glasgow Oct. 1889." Case 413 (1)(b) and 413 (2)(b). ◆Light wear to front joints, small holes (from worming?) at head and tail of one joint and head of another, half a dozen small patches of lost patina from insect activity, extremities a little rubbed, but the bindings quite solid and still lustrous, and a fine copy internally, clean, crisp, and rather bright. This selection of Latin poems accompanied by English verse translations is arranged by topics ranging from Absence to Justice and from Kisses to Zephyr. An index facilitates the location of verses on various subjects. Author Henry Baker (1698-1774) is better known for his popular scientific writings and for his pioneering efforts in the education of the deaf, but poetry was his first love. He published several well-received volumes of verse, and also contributed to "The Universal Spectator and Weekly Journal," a literary magazine he founded with his father-in-law, Daniel Defoe. Our well-preserved volumes were bound for Sir William Gordon-Cumming, 2nd Baronet of Altyre (1787-1854)..
