Description
Rochester, New York: Susan B. Anthony, 1902. First edition. Very Good. First edition of volume four of Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper's monumental history of women's suffrage, inscribed by Anthony to her cousin Henry Vail on the front free endpaper: "I can send you this book - / dear Cousin - if I can't go to see / you - It is the work of Mrs. Harper / and self the past two years - I am / sure you will enjoy seeing what / gains woman has made in the last score / of years - affectionately yours / Susan B. Anthony / 17 Madison St / Rochester / NY / May 25, 1903." Publisher's maroon cloth titled in gilt. [li], 1144 pp., complete with eleven plates (including frontisportrait of Anthony). Slight edgewear, small chip to cloth on one board, and a bit of faint spotting. Minor toning to a couple leaves. Some dampstaining to fore-edge of text block, slightly encroaching on margins of the last hundred pages or so. Overall a Very Good, fresh copy. The History of Woman Suffrage eventually spanned six volumes published between 1881 and 1922, with Vol. IV being the last published during Anthony's lifetime (1820 - 1906). Spanning over 5,000 pages and drawing on primary sources from the National Woman Suffrage Association leaders and their archives, the work is still considered one of the most important accounts of this American equality movement. For Anthony, it was critical that women write themselves into United States history as well as leave a road map for future activists. To this end, when it became clear in 1885 that this comprehensive project would cost more money than it would raise, she purchased the rights to the contents and plates for Volumes I-II and published Volumes III-IV as sole owner (with her imprint appearing on the title-page of the present volume). The fifteen years that passed between the publication of Volume III (1887) and Volume IV had seen a massive and effective expansion of voting rights to women on the state level; and a federal law nicknamed the Susan B. Anthony Amendment had been proposed for ratification to extend voting rights to women at the national level. Anthony's inscription to her cousin references these huge gains made in women's rights, acknowledging the recent successes of the suffrage movement and anticipating the future victories that would continue after her death. The final two volumes of The History of Woman Suffrage were published under the direction of Ida Husted Harper and Anthony's protegee Matilda Gage. Very Good.

Description
2 volumes: [iv]+613 pages; [iv]+578 pages. Folio (14 1/4" x10 1/4") bound in original red gilt lettering to spine. Introduction by George J Maciuszko. (Betts: 1-58) First edition.This catalog consists of some 15,000 items from the chess and checker section of the John G White Collection housed in the Cleveland Public Library. The catalog entries from the card catalog have been photographically reproduced (size reduced) with 21 entries to each page in three columns of seven. In the author portion, titles are further arranged chronologically by date of publication. The titles in the subject part are classified by a local extension of the Decimal Classification. Cataloging practice appears to conform largely to the Dewey Decimal code, with some divergence of practice over the years. Some annotation of the bibliographical nature is given where relevant.The collection originated as the personal library of John Griswold White, a noted Cleveland attorney, who served many years as President and member of the Cleveland Public Library's Board of Trustees. White was an outstanding benefactor of the Library. His gifts to the Collection that was to bear his name began in the 1880's and continued to his death in 1928. "The largest chess library in the world," wrote the famous chess historian Harold J R Murray about this collection in his work in 1914. Hundreds of titles have been added since that time, including many of the choicest volumes from the library of J W Rimington Wilson, a British collector whose fine chess library was broken up after his death in 1927.Condition:Some light rubbing to the extremities else a very good set.

Description
London: G. And T. Wilkie, 1789. FIRST EDITION. With 3 engraved illustrations. Modern boards, spine label; other than some very light marginal browning, an excellent overall copy. First edition of this uncommon and practical star catalogue compiled by Francis Wollaston, and a precursor to his more ambitious Fasciculus Astronomicus of 1800. The present volume was considered to be of great value by contemporaries, and used by the likes of William Herschel. The arrangement in Zones of North Polar distance was an innovation of Wollaston, who collected the stars from various catalogues, from Hevelius to the present day. “A substantial collection of comparative catalogues with a preface announcing [Wollaston’s] plan and discussing the many previous catalogues on which he based his coordinates ... Wollaston long entertained the hope that astronomers might collaborate on a general plan for improving star catalogues and drafting them in a way that would facilitate the measurement of small stellar movement” (DSB). The volume includes “An index to the stars in the British Catalogue”; “Flamsteed’s British Catalogue, and De la Caille’s Southern Catalogues arranged in the order of right ascension for January 1, 1790”; and “A Zodiacal Catalogue” as well as information taken from the Astronomer Royal, Nevil Maskelyne’s own catalogues. The three illustrations found in the advertisements at the end are also of interest. These engravings “from which any number of impressions may be had” were intended to be used by the reader to represent both “the field of view of a telescope” and to “assist in making such a plan of a small portion of the heavens,” suggesting that the catalogue was intended for both the professional and the “gentleman astronomer.” Brown, Astronomical atlases, maps & charts, p. 63; Lalande, p. 610; not in Houzeau-Lancaster.

Hartford: American Publishing Company, 1876. Frontispiece wood engraving (“The wooden man 6,000 years old), title vignette, woodcut head- and tailpieces. Red pictorial cloth in black and gold, rebacked with the original spine laid down; text is toned but clean. Bookplate of the Ladies’ Christian Union. First edition, published simultaneously in Hartford by the American Publishing Company, of Warner’s account of his travels down the Nile and around Egypt. This work includes detailed stories about his exploration of mosques, visits to the Pharaoh tombs, and interactions with local Egyptians and their culture. Through interpreters, Warner spoke with everyone he could to soak up as much of the Egyptian life as possible while he traveled around what was, at the time, considered an unknown part of the world to many Americans. Warner (1829-1900) was an American novelist, a friend of Mark Twain with whom he co-authored The gilded age.

Description
1969. [Black Panther Party][Black Radicalism] Newton, Huey P., ed. The Black Panther, October 25, 1969 issue, documenting how the Black Panther Party used its newspaper as an instrument of political coordination linking community healthcare, prisoner defense, youth programs, labor outreach, and international analysis across multiple chapters. Rather than treating these efforts as separate causes, the issue shows them functioning through a common communications structure: the Bobby Hutton Free Health Clinic in Kansas City, free breakfast work in San Francisco, defense organizing around the New Haven Panther 14 and Martin Sostre, local reporting on police violence and repression, and political commentary on Haiti under François Duvalier. The cover sets that framework clearly through the juxtaposition of Eldridge Cleaver and Kim Il Sung, with anti-imperialist text that places local organizing, state repression, and global struggle in one ideological field. The Black Panther: Black Community News Service. Vol. III, No. 37. Saturday, October 25, 1969. Newspaper issue in tabloid format. Front page with large photographic cover portrait, Party identification banner, price of 25 cents, and quotations from Eldridge Cleaver and Kim Il Sung. Interior coverage includes "Statement from Chairman Bobby Seale," "Check It Out!," "Black Youth Shot Down in Santa Rosa Streets," "Continuous Repression Against the Vanguard Party," "Ambush," "Bobby Hutton Free Health Clinic," "Defense of the New Haven Panther 14," "Statement from New Haven Area Captain Doug Miranda," "Civil Servants, Public Officials Speak Out," "Feeding Hungry Children vs. Men of the Cloth," "Brownsville Liberation School," "Papa Doc and the Truth About Haiti Today," and "Karenga and the Truth About 'Us'." What emerges from the issue is the newspaper's role in carrying reports between local chapters and readers, publicizing Party institutions, naming police violence and court cases, and tying neighborhood programs to a broader Black internationalist politics. By late 1969 the paper had become one of the Party's primary mechanisms for circulating chapter activity, fundraising urgency, ideological education, and defense campaigns, and this issue shows that process in operation across health, food distribution, schools, labor conflict, prisons, and foreign affairs. Losses at the center fold of the front cover, chipping along the creases, and general wear expected of circulated newsprint of this age; inner pages good, overall good condition. A strong issue for the way it concentrates the Party's practical community programs and prisoner defense work alongside sustained attention to Haiti and international anti-imperialist politics.
