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
1965. Boardman, John. Dagon. 1965-1968. These issues document mid-twentieth-century science fiction fandom as a site of sustained intellectual and political engagement, circulated through the APA-F amateur press association network. The publication combines literary criticism, personal correspondence, and commentary on contemporary events, including Cold War politics, civil liberties, religion, and party politics, demonstrating how fan writing extended beyond genre discussion into broader cultural and ideological debate. The archive provides direct evidence of how science fiction readers and critics used small-scale print media to exchange arguments, develop critical frameworks, and situate speculative fiction within larger social concerns. Archive of eight mimeographed issues of Dagon, published between 1965 and 1968, each consisting of typed and duplicated pages circulated among APA-F members. [1] Boardman, John. Dagon. No. 27. June 4, 1965. Opens with "Help!" addressing logistical challenges of APA circulation, followed by "Getting Caught Up," including commentary on correspondence and a comparison of Isaac Asimov and Philip K. Dick's differing intellectual approaches. [2] Boardman, John. Dagon. No. 37. July 2, 1965. Addresses Soviet anti-Semitism and Jewish identity in Eastern Europe, placing contemporary developments in historical context; includes corrections to prior issues. [3] Boardman, John. Dagon. No. 40. July 16, 1965. Contains a memorial to Adlai Stevenson and commentary on Vietnam War coverage and domestic political issues, including judicial redistricting in New York. [4] Boardman, John. Dagon. No. 44. July 23, 1965. Includes discussion of civil liberties and a defense of the American Civil Liberties Union, alongside reflections on nationalism and historical invasion narratives. [5] Boardman, John. Dagon. No. 46. July 30, 1965. Part of the series "In Days of Old When Pulps Were Bold," examining Planet Stories and authors such as James Blish and Alfred Coppel. [6] Boardman, John. Dagon. No. 47. August 6, 1965. "Reflections at a Pump Organ" presents a historical critique of Protestant thought and its relation to contemporary political resistance. [7] Boardman, John. Dagon. No. 53. August 27, 1965. "Learn Nothing and Forget Nothing" critiques post-1964 Republican Party politics; includes continuation of pulp history series focusing on Hugo Gernsback and SF Plus. [8] Boardman, John. Dagon. No. 75. October 26, 1968. Devoted to a comparison of Barbarella and 2001: A Space Odyssey, examining gender representation and visual spectacle within science fiction cinema. Produced during a decade marked by the Vietnam War, civil rights activism, and shifting cultural norms, these issues show how science fiction fandom participated in contemporary political and intellectual discourse. The APA format facilitated circulation among a network of readers who engaged directly with one another's arguments, creating a dialogic form of criticism distinct from commercial publishing. Light toning and minor edge wear; overall very good. A concentrated run of a politically engaged science fiction zine documenting the intersection of fandom, criticism, and public debate in the 1960s.

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.

Author attribution from the BL catalogue. Following the appearance of these letters in the Times, there appear to have been three versions of this title: the present one, paginated as part of a larger compilation of pamphlets; another issue also in 1816, paginated 1-33; and a third issue, with 19 pages, and addressed to the Viscount Henry Addington Sidmouth (formerly Prime Minister, currently Secretary of State for the Home Department). 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. John Thomas Barber Beaumont (1774-1841) was a British Army officer, author, painter (early on he was miniaturist to the Duke of Clarence (future King William II.
