Description
Augsburg: Melchior Ramminger, 1523. One of five editions all printed in 1523. Hardcover. Fine. Modern boards. A fine copy with a beautiful four-part title page border, the lower register of which shows a stag hunt. There is also a small woodcut of the Virgin, balancing on the crescent moon, and holding the infant Christ. A sermon for Lichtmeß (Candlemas), the feast of the presentation of the infant Jesus in the temple and the purification of Mary (February 2). Jesus takes as his text Luke 2:22-39. For the complexities of Luther’s evolving Mariology, see Thomas O'Meara, Mary in Protestant and Catholic Theology (1966). “Luther's attitude toward the theology of Mary and toward the devotion which a Christian should have to the Mother of God is a small-scale representation of his entire religious accomplishment. During any discussion of Luther and the Blessed Virgin we must keep uppermost in our minds that there was a development in his ideas, a change more or less drastic in each aspect of Marian theology. This development has its beginning in Catholicism; it passes through contradictions, struggles, and uncertainties, and terminates in a new Marian viewpoint, one which Luther decided was Christocentric, biblical, unexaggerated, and edifying.”(p. 123).

Description
Sacramento, California, 1922. 17 ½ x 24 inches. Folded, small tears at folds, overall excellent.. In 1922, the United States Supreme Court decided United States v. Southern Pacific Company et al., declaring the Southern Pacific Company’s ownership of a controlling part—46%—of the Central Pacific Railroad’s stock in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act, and requiring that this monopoly be dissolved. Offered here is a broadside produced by the Sacramento-based California Producers & Shippers Association which presents a collection of articles and editorials from area newspapers favorable to this “unmerger.” The broadside came in response to the Southern Pacific Company’s propaganda campaign against the dissolution; the Sacramento Tribune draws the reader’s attention to: “the efforts which have recently been made by the Southern Pacific Company to deceive their employe[e]s into protesting the separation of the Southern Pacific and Central Pacific on the ground that seniority and pension rights would be disturbed”. (August 25) Several articles present a statement by P.R. Thompson, chairman of the Peninsula Bureau Chamber of Commerce’s Transportation Committee, who accused Southern Pacific of having “distributed a great amount of misinformation, intended to becloud the issue and create opposition”. Thompson called the claim that employees would lose seniority and pension rights the “Most flagrant and most apparently manufactured out of whole cloth.” Other articles note that Southern Pacific had been sending delegates to various Chambers of Commerce around the region to push resolutions against the dissolution. The Porterville Messenger writes: “Chambers of Commerce are becoming suspicious of the sleek, well mannered, business like gentlemen who drop into town, urge a meeting of directors, make their discourse and expect to depart with a resolution in their pockets. Usually the proposed resolution will bear study— carefully. Just now the Colusa Chamber of Commerce is compelled to reverse itself on the S.P.-C.P. unmerger.” (August 25) The Sacramento Bee described the efforts of these delegates as an “attempt to stampede public sentiment” but claimed that Company’s “flood of propaganda” had “utterly failed of its objective” (September 9). Whatever the actual public sentiment may have been, in 1923 the Interstate Commerce Commission ordered that the railroads be allowed to remain merged. That year the federal government—largely influenced by famously anti-labor Attorney General Harry M. Daugherty—declined to appeal a district court decision overruling the Supreme Court in favor of the ICC. We find no record of this broadside in OCLC. Of interest to scholars of railroad, business, and legal history.

Description
Boston / New York: Mariner Books / Harper Collins, 2021. 3rd Printing. Hard Cover. Fine/Fine. 5x1x8. 3rd printing. Spine ends very lightly bruised, otherwise an excellent copy. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2021 Hard Cover. xxi, 440 pp. The first ever publication of J.R.R. Tolkien's final writings on Middle-earth, covering a wide range of subjects and perfect for those who have read and enjoyed The Silmarillion, The Lord of the Rings, Unfinished Tales, and The History of Middle-earth, and want to learn more about Tolkien's magnificent world. It is well known that J.R.R. Tolkien published The Hobbit in 1937 and The Lord of the Rings in 1954 - 5. What may be less known is that he continued to write about Middle-earth in the decades that followed, right up until the years before his death in 1973. For him, Middle-earth was part of an entire world to be explored, and the writings in The Nature of Middle-earth reveal the journeys that he took as he sought to better understand his unique creation. From sweeping themes as profound as Elvish immortality and reincarnation, and the Powers of the Valar, to the more earth-bound subjects of the lands and beasts of Numenor, the geography of the Rivers and Beacon-hills of Gondor, and even who had beards! This new collection, which has been edited by Carl F. Hostetter, one of the world's leading Tolkien experts, is a veritable treasure-trove offering readers a chance to peer over Professor Tolkien's shoulder at the very moment of discovery: and on every page, Middle-earth is once again brought to extraordinary life.
