Description
S. l. [Palo Alto]: s. n., 1885. Softcover. Good. First edition, n. d. (1885); 8 3/4 x 5 1/2; pp. 38; plain, burgundy leatherette over stiff, card stock wraps; red tint to page edges; loss of paper to spine; front wrap lightly warped; text clean; a tiny puncture through upper right corner; overall in good to very good condition. A part of California history, the pamphlet presented the Endowment Act of the California Assembly and Senate, the Grant of Endowment from Leland Stanford, and the minutes of the first meeting of the board of trustees, which established the Leland Stanford Junior University. Leland Stanford (1824 - 1893) - industrialist, Governor of California, US Senator, and President of the Southern Pacific - and his wife Jane donated over $40 million and founded the university as a memorial to their only child, Leland Stanford Jr., who had died of typhoid fever in 1884. The university officially opened its doors in 1891 and its very first student, admitted to Encina Hall, was future president Herbert Hoover.

Description
Rome: Ex Typographia Francisci de Comitibus Ipressoris Cameralis, 1744. 281 x 200 mm. (11 1/8 x 7 7/8"). 2 p.l. (first blank), v-xviii pp., [1] leaf, xxxviii, 253, [1] pp. Contemporary stiff vellum, smooth spine, reddish-brown label with gilt lettering. With woodcut coat of arms of Pope Benedict XIV on the title, woodcut initials and tailpieces. Title with ink stamp of the library of S. Pietro ad Vincula in Rome. ◆A hint of soil to the vellum, but a sound and pleasing binding, and A FINE COPY INTERNALLY, the paper bright and crisp, with trivial imperfections only. Published at the behest of Pope Benedict XIV, this rare work honors the Blessed Niccolò Albergati with writings contributed by men of the church and prominent political and literary figures, including four popes and two kings. Born in Bologna, Albergati (1373 or 1375 - 1443) was a Carthusian monk who was promoted to Bishop (despite his reluctance to accept the position), served as nuncio to both England and France, and was elected cardinal in 1426. A papal favorite, he was close with Popes Martin V and Eugene IV, and he mentored the future Nicholas V and Pius II. Though he was never canonized, Albergati had long been venerated, and received official beatification from Pope Benedict XIV on 25 September 1744. Several accounts of Albergati's life have been written, but this work is unique in that it is directly connected to his beatification, and contains a wide range of contemporary sources in several languages, reflecting his widespread influence..

Description
1931. Very Good. Stab binding, bound with grey ribbon, patterned cloth over boards (13” x 9.25”) with handwritten titles on front board; contains 19 grey heavy cardstock leaves, each featuring numerous b/w photographs (more than 150 in all, average size is 3” x 4.25”) affixed to rectos and versos with photo-corners, most of them labeled by hand, in German (with some English). Boards a little rubbed and scuffed, else fine. A lovely young African woman, wearing robes, a turban, and a necklace, clutches a pipe in her teeth and poses for the camera in front of a thatched roof house. The photograph bears the handwritten label, “Basutofrau aus dem Hinterland von East London.” So begins this collection of images – photographs taken by the author, and postcards – of Cape Town and South-West Africa in 1931. It offers a nice balance of the personal – with images of the author’s friends at picnics, hiking (with men in suits and hat, and the ladies in dresses and high-heeled shoes!), on ship, and watching street performers – and the more broadly interesting streetscapes and landmarks. (The African people, it seems, were also generously willing to smile for the camera.) Postcards have labels printed in English, identifying Camps Bay, Chapman Peak, government buildings, memorials, etc., and the photographs taken by the author usually identify the place and date (tidy penmanship, in German, and often with a quip). Though a few of the author’s photographs are a little blurry or over-exposed, most are nicely composed – and all of the images (photos and postcards) are bright and clean. A pleasing amalgam.

Description
Vienna: J V Degen, 1798. First Edition. Later marbled paper over boards.. Very good.. 8vo, xviii, 124, [10] pp. Bartsch was the son of a court official of Prince Starhemberg of Austria. He studied academic subjects at the University in Vienna and then drawing and engraving at Viennese Academy of Arts (Kupferstecherakademie) under Jacob Schmuzer (1733-1811). From 1777-1781 he worked in the Imperial Library, cataloging books. Between 1783-4 he was sent to Paris with the print collection's registrar, Paul Strattmann. Returning to Vienna, Bartsch received his first commission for a catalogue raisonné of prints, that of the collection of Charles Antoine Joseph, Prince de Ligne (1759-1792). In it Bartsch set out the organizing principles of what would be his famous later work, Le Peintre graveur. In 1791 he was appointed curator of the imperial print collection by its director, Gottfried, Baron van Swieten (1734-1803). The Imperial collection expanded nearly 20-fold under his direction. Bartsch was elected to the Viennese Academy of Fine Arts in 1792. In 1794 was named adviser to Albert, Duke of Saxe-Teschen, on his drawings collection. In 1795 Bartsch embarked upon a series of artist's oeuvre catalogs, beginning with the prints of Antoni Waterloo (1610-1690). Catalogs of the prints of Guido Reni and his pupils, (1795), Rembrandt (1797) and Lucas van Leyden (1798, offered here).

New York: Gilbert H. McKibbin, 1899. Small Hard Cover. Fair/No Jacket. 0x0x0. Binder's copy. Rear board cloth wrinkled. 1899 Small Hard Cover. 191 pp. Includes illustrations in color. Arranged for young readers. A natural history of animals and birds written for children. John George Woods was an "English writer and lecturer on natural history... He was educated at Ashbourne grammar school and Merton College, Oxford; and after he had taken his degree in 1848 he worked for two years in the anatomical museum at Christ Church under Sir Henry Acland... After 1876 he devoted himself to the production of books and to delivering in all parts of the country lectures on zoology, which he illustrated by drawing on a black-board or on large sheets of white paper with coloured crayons. These "sketch lectures," as he called them, were very popular, and made his name widely known both in Great Britain and in the United States. In 1883 - 1884 he delivered the Lowell lectures at Boston. Wood was for a time editor of the Boy's Own Magazine. His most important work was a Natural History in three volumes, but he was better known by the series of books which began with Common Objects of the Sea-Shore, and which included popular monographs on shells, moths, beetles, the microscope and Common Objects of the Country. Our Garden Friends and Foes was another book which found hosts of appreciative readers." - Encyclopedia Britannica "From the early 1850s Wood was developing a career as a natural historian; his first book, The Illustrated Natural History, was published in 1851. Several more works had followed by 1856, when he began to give occasional lectures on natural history subjects. Wood's appeal as a populariser of natural history was spotted by the publisher George Routledge. Routledge asked him to contribute to a shilling series of handbooks, starting with Common Objects of the Seashore (1857), which enjoyed huge popularity among holiday-makers to the coast. Common Objects of the Country (1858) had an even greater success, and Routledge followed this with a three-volume Illustrated Natural History (1859) by Wood. Many future naturalists were said to have been inspired by reading these books at an early age." - Oxford Dictionary of National Biography
