Description
12 vols. in 11. Many with engraved plates. Large 4to, each self-bound with cont. paste-paper spines, uncut. N.p. (but Munich & Bonn): 1808-23. A fine collection of offprints, mostly on botanical subjects, by the Jesuit priest Schrank (1747-1835). Before being appointed professor of botany at the University of Münich (he was the first director of the University’s botanical garden), Schrank was professor of mining, agriculture, forestry, botany, and zoology at the University of Ingolstadt. Acting several times as rector during the years of his professorship at Ingolstadt and Landshut, he defended the interests of the universities during the French and Austrian occupations on many occasions. Schrank was an astonishingly prolific author and travelled widely under the auspices of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences. His excellent descriptions of flora are distinguished by their originality, clear presentation, and logical classification. The offprints are: 1. “Zwey neue Pflanzengattungen.” Pp. 91-98. 2. “Grimaldia, eine neue Pflanzengattung.” Three engraved plates. Pp. 99-124. 3. “Ueber die Weise, wie sich Aufgußtierchen bey ihren Bewegungen benehmen.” One engraved plate. Pp. 1-40. 4. “Ueber die Sparsamkeit der Formen im Pflanzenreiche.” Pp. 51-80. 5. “Ueber die Lebhaftigkeit einiger Pflanzen.” Pp. 81-102. 6. “Ueber die Priestleysche Grüne Materie.” Pp. 1-30. 7. “Omphalodes.” Pp. 217-22. 8. “Ueber die blauen Schatten.” Pp. 293-312. 9. “Ueber die Priestleysche Grüne Materie. Zweyte Abhandlung.” One engraved plate. Pp. 1-24. 10. “Ueber die wattewebenden Elsenraupen.” One folding engraved plate. Pp. 69-88. 11. “Commentatio de rarioribus quibusdam, maximam partem Arabicis, plantis in amplissima Schreberi collectione repertis.” Pp. 161-196. 12. “Über die Oscillatorien.” 1 p.l., 525-40. Fine and fresh copies. Rare. ❧ Catholic Encyclopedia (on-line). Poggendorff, II, 841.

Description
1947. Unidentified photographer, composite portrait photographs of segregated African American troops at Fort Knox, Kentucky, 1947, document the structure and personnel of Black training units in the final year before the formal desegregation of the United States Armed Forces, providing visual evidence of racial segregation within military organization and hierarchy. The material captures two distinct groupings within the 79th Training Battalion, 22nd Regiment, preserving the arrangement of enlisted men and commanding officers within segregated platoon and company formations. These photographs support research into African American military service in the immediate post-World War II period, particularly the persistence of segregation despite wartime service and the institutional conditions preceding federal desegregation policy. Two black and white silver gelatin composite photographs on cardstock, each measuring approximately 14 x 11 inches, produced by Post Studio at Fort Knox, Kentucky, in 1947. One photograph presents 97 individual portraits arranged across the 1st and 2nd Platoons, with 50 headshots above and 47 below, while the second photograph includes 23 portraits of Company B. The images are organized hierarchically, with Captain S. Coleman positioned prominently at the top, followed by enlisted personnel in formal arrangement consistent with military chain of command. The soldiers wear standard tan uniforms and side caps of the period. The format and composition resemble graduation or unit completion photographs, indicating the training function of the battalion and the transitional status of these soldiers within the Army structure. Created one year prior to Executive Order 9981 issued by Harry S. Truman, these photographs document the segregated organization of the U.S. Army at a moment when African American servicemen continued to serve in separate units despite their extensive contributions during World War II. Fort Knox functioned as a major training site, and units such as the 79th Training Battalion prepared soldiers who were often assigned to engineering, logistics, and support roles. The images provide concrete evidence of how segregation was maintained visually and structurally within training environments, just prior to the gradual and uneven implementation of integration during the Korean War era. Minor rubbing to margins and light age toning; both photographs remain well-preserved with strong image clarity; overall very good. A significant visual record of segregated African American military organization immediately preceding desegregation.

New York: Rinehart & Company, Inc., (1946). First Editon. Octavo, khaki cloth (hardcover), burgundy decorations, gilt letters, uncut, 275 pp. Very Good, with light foxing (age darkened spotting) in a Very Good dust jacket with light edgewear. From dust jacket: South of Tobacco Road lies the sun-drenched land of the Florida Crackers -- a domain peopled by some of the most quaint, girm, pathetic and happiest folk of North America. Charles Baker, himself a born Floridian, has observed them with a compassionate eye and records their adventures with a humor as native and salty as Mark Twain’s. Although this book is filled with real belly-laughter it isn’t just another “funny book,” but gives a whole-souled account of the lovers, humors, random courtships, fights, feuds and religious goins-on of these vital characters. Here you’ll find indomitable old Ma Conroy and her daughters: sweet, gentle Romajean, pretty as a pair of red-heeled slippers; and sharp-tongued little Pert who fears nothing alive. You’ll find Love Gudger whose strange, warped mind is destined to twist so many lives --a preacher by his own election who quaintly believes that if he keeps the other nine Commandments God won’t pester him about the Seventh. And Birdie, his huge wife, nearly three hundred pounds of woman with a bull-whip substituting for God’s swift punishment. Here’s sweet Miz Nelliemadge, who can’t say “No,” and her great side beef of a man, Flobert, who is flattered when out-of-town gentlemen seek his wife’s ardent hospitality, but who tartly draws the line when it comes to a local Lochinvar beating his time. And Grandma Guardie Dow, by all odds the toughest Christian nut in town; but finally brought to the Mourner’s Bench and riotous conversion by Preacher Gudger. Mr. Baker gathers all this lusty uninhibited group into a dramatic story filled with rich appreciation of this, thus far, forgotten corner of our continent. And the whole narrative is sustained by a constant, kindly irony. With this robust book the author invites your ripest judgment, your liveliest response and sympathy.
