Description
Concord N.H.: G. F. Bemis, 1835. First edition, first state with signature mark 3 absent. Bound with the ORIGINAL BLUE WRAPPERS present. Recent cloth backed marble boards, uncut as issued. Scattered foxing throughout, several leaves with slight tears to fore edge, wrappers archivally backed but still a nice copy of Emerson's first separately published book or substantial publication preceded only by contributions to journals and a broadside. The rarity of this pamphlet can be explained by the small number of copies and the fire in the town clerk's office that destroyed many of them. Quite scarce in any condition but especially so with the wrappers as most copies were rebound and the wrappers discarded, losing printed elements important to scholars and collectors. Two elusive pieces of paper, being to Mr. Emerson's Discourse what dust wrappers are to modern first editions.

LOCOMOTIVES. Damage and Mechanism of Locomotive Machines (translated) by Bertrand Charles. Aillevillers, 1908. Colored map of the French railway network mounted inside front cover, also captioned photographs of 2 French steam locomotives: # 3109 from 1907 and # 3728 from 1908, both with 4 cylandars. Square 4to, 67pp holograph manuscript (in French); original cloth-backed marbled boards, edges rubbed. In 1907, the French railway companies were busy modernizing their fleets for faster and heavier trains. Around 1908, French steam traction underwent an important development, particularly with the rise of powerful express locomotives for the major railway companies. French steam traction has a rich history spanning from the early nineteenth century to well into the twentieth century, with a "Golden Age" between 1900 and 1950. This period is known as the glory days of French steam locomotives, in which powerful machines dominated the main lines.
