Title: Personal Recollections. By Charlotte Elizabeth.
Author: [ Tonna ], Charlotte Elizabeth
Seller: Michael R. Thompson, Booksellers, ABAA/ILAB (United States)
Description: London: published by R. B. Seeley and W. Burnside, and sold by L. and G. Seeley, 1841 First edition. Half black calf over marbled boards, gilt spine with burgundy morocco label, edges sprinkled brown. . Twelvemo. With added engraved title-page. Binding extremities rubbed, engraved title foxed, printed title slightly foxed. Old ink signature on printed title. A very good copy. Charlotte Tonna (1796-1846) was a writer and social reformer and friend of Hannah More. She married an army officer, George Phelan, and accompanied him to his estate in Ireland. She then began publishing religious tracts for the Dublin Tract Society, using the name Charlotte Elizabeth. In 1843 she wrote a novel called Judah's Lion, in which she argued that the Jews could fulfill their religion only by recognizing Jesus Christ, but she also recognized them as recipients of God's covenant. She later campaigned against anti-Semitism, presenting a petition to Tsar Nicholas I on behalf of his 'oppressed and burdened Jewish subjects' in 1844. On Phelan's death she married Lewis Hippolytus Joseph Tonna, a religious writer twenty years her junior, who encouraged her writing. In the 1840s, she became convinced that industrialism threatened the physical and spiritual welfare of the poor, and she attacked the factory system in Helen Fleetwood (serialized 1839–40), The Wrongs of Woman (1843–4), and the anonymous, non-fictional Perils of the Nation (1842). "Tonna's contributions to social reform literature and her use of the Christian Lady's Magazine as a forum to influence politics through her female readers mark her as a significant nineteenth-century figure, especially for other women social reform writers, such as Harriet Beecher Stowe (who wrote the introduction for her collected works in 1844) and Elizabeth Gaskell" (Oxford DNB).

Title: San Francisco in Maps & Views
Author: Woodbridge [or Woodbrige], Sally B.
Seller: ReadInk (United States)
Condition: Very Good+ in Near Fine dj
Description: New York: Rizzoli. Very Good+ in Near Fine dj. 2006. First Edition. Hardcover. [slight bumping to corners, small red dot (probably a remainder mark) on bottom edge of text block, some damage to binding in front and rear gutters (although the binding itself is still quite solid); the jacket is quite nice but for the minimal bumping at the corners, matching the book]. (maps) This beautifully-designed book "explores the city's growth over the course of 400 years through a number of breathtaking, full-color illustrations. These stunning surveys, maps, and most recently, computer-drawn designs shwo how government, religion, and geography shaped San Francisco's urban fabric; they illustrate the development of the city's trolley and public transit systems and they hint at how San Francisco's population has evolved over time. [It's] an exciting new way of looking at the city and a useful book for both seasoned locals and tourists." (Although I've called it "beautifully-designed," the book also has a serious flaw: it can't decide on the correct spelling of the author's surname, which is rendered as "Woodbrige" on the jacket's front panel and title page, but (correctly) as "Woodbridge" in most other places (including elsewhere on the jacket itself!). I hope somebody at Rizzoli received a proper tongue-lashing over this unforgivably sloppy proofreading fail.) ****NOTE that additional postage charges will be assessed for international shipping of this heavy book; if this concerns you, please contact us for a shipping quote before placing your order.
