Description: Rochester [NY]/London/Paris: Susan B. Anthony, 1887. First Edition. Hardcover. Slight occasional foxing, mostly to frontispiece portraits; otherwise very clean. A Fine set of these important volumes with a superb association linking the causes of women and African Americans in gaining their rights.

Illustrated with copperplate and photogravure engravings. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by Anthony on the front free endpaper of each volume. The first volume: "John J. Smallwood/Industrial & Collegiate Institute/Claremont--Virginia/with the best wishes of/Susan B. Anthony/Rochester/N. Y./Jan.15, 1896." The second volume: "Rev. John J. Smallwood/for the/Library of/Industrial & Collegiate Institute/VA/With the hope that the students/may all believe & practice the/great principle of 'Equal rights/for all'--from/Susan B. Anthony/Rochester/N. Y./Jan.15, 1896." The third volume: "To Rev John J.

Anthony/Rochester/N. Y./Jan.15, 1896." Dr. John Jefferson Smallwood, grandson of Nat Turner, was born enslaved in Rich Square, North Carolina in 1863. A familiar sight on the lecture circuit , he was known as one of the most eloquent African-American orators in America and England. Smallwood established the Temperance, Industrial, and Collegiate Institute in Claremont on 12 October 1892 with the intent to instill "Temperance and Morality, Industry, and Economy, Intelligence, and Race Pride" in American Blacks. He began with fewer than ten students. The school's campus covered more than 65 acres along the James River and served boys and girls from Virginia as well as other states, closing in 1928. Smallwood died on 29 September 1912 after a brief illness at the age of 49.

Title: Artillery Officer in World War I: scrapbook album of Documents, Photographs, Maps, Theater Programs, and Battlefield Ephemera, 1917-1926
Author: American Expeditionary Forces
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1917. World War I military photo album and scrapbook documenting Richard H. Morrison movement from Berkeley, California as an officer candidate from local recommendations and Army appointment papers to field artillery training, overseas service, postwar discharge, and later reserve artillery activity. Morrison's record begins in April 1917, as the United States entered the war and began building a mass army under the Selective Service Act, signed May 18, 1917, which authorized the federal government to raise forces for wartime service. Berkeley civic, academic, and banking figures appear at the start of the album, including letters from First National Bank of Berkeley, the University of California School of Jurisprudence at Boalt Hall, and the Berkeley Chamber of Commerce recommending Morrison for appointment in the Officers' Reserve Corps. The later paperwork follows him through Camp Lewis, Battery A of the 348th Field Artillery, Officers' Training School, the American Expeditionary Forces, the Saumur Artillery School, service with Battery F of the 108th Field Artillery near Fismes, the Ypres-Lys Offensive, and discharge at the Presidio of San Francisco. 55 page scrapbook album including 27 silver gelatin photos, 5 large maps, and approximately 90 related ephemera, and documents ranging in size from 2" x 3" to large fold out maps roughly 40" in length, with extensive military documents, real photo postcards, news print clippings, brochures, and identification cards. 1917-1926. The album includes signed recommendation letters, special orders transferring Morrison from Co. G, 363rd Infantry to Battery A, 348th Field Artillery, a 1917 Thanksgiving program for Battery A, a printed "Mounted Field Day" program for the 348th Field Artillery, an Army appointment certificate naming Morrison sergeant in Battery A, 348th Field Artillery, and an Officers' Training School certificate from the 91st Division at Camp Lewis dated April 19, 1918. Military scenes include uniformed group portraits, artillerymen gathered behind sandbags, range practice with horse-drawn guns, mounted officers, a survey instrument captioned "watching 'em land," and later reserve officer training at Del Monte and the Presidio of Monterey in the 1920s. French material includes a "28th Division in France" route map, a large printed scene of the 28th Division passing through Coulonges on August 4, 1918, a battlefield artillery scene captioned "Battery 'A' 108 F.A. Firing Midst Enemy Gas Shells, Varennes-en-Argonne, Meuse, October 3, 1918," postcards of Chartres and Douai with Morrison's handwritten travel notes, Paris theater programs for the Bouffes-Parisiens, Folies-Bergère, Apollo, and related performances, and a 1919 typed statement by Morrison declining an Officers' Reserve Corps commission while listing his overseas duty, artillery schooling, front-line work, and promotion to second lieutenant. The 91st Division was organized at Camp Lewis in 1917 with men drawn largely from the western states and later served in the Lorraine, Meuse-Argonne, and Ypres-Lys campaigns, placing Morrison's training record within one of the principal western-state divisions raised for the war. The 108th Field Artillery served with the 28th Division, fought around Fismettes, entered the Meuse-Argonne campaign in September 1918, and was later sent north to support fighting in the Ypres sector, closely matching Morrison's own typed account of his duty near Fismes and during the Ypres-Lys Offensive. Album leaves are very difficult and many are unbound, but photos and mounted items remain clear and legible. Edges show chipping, tears, and scattered staining; Overall in good condition. The album preserves an unusually full paper and visual trail of one California artillery officer's movement from university recommendation culture into wartime Army training, combat service, postwar France, and peacetime reserve artillery life.

Title: Western Pennsylvania Flood Photo Archive, Beaver County, Pennsylvania, March 1936
Author: Pennsylvania Flood
Seller: Max Rambod Inc. (United States)
Description: 1936. The March 1936 flood in Beaver County, Pennsylvania, photo archive along the Ohio and Beaver rivers. Handwritten captions identify Bridgewater, Kent Street in New Brighton, the Monaca Bridge, "between Rochester and Junction," cut banks, heavy ice, and a woman identified as Mrs. French. The dated views place the group within the St. Patrick's Day Flood, when rain and rapid snowmelt sent western Pennsylvania rivers over their banks. In Beaver County, communities such as Bridgewater, Rochester, Monaca, and New Brighton sat at the convergence of major waterways and transportation corridors. Railroad yards, bridges, warehouses, and working-class housing were especially vulnerable because nineteenth-century industrial development had concentrated population and industry directly on low riverbanks. Photo archive of 14 silver gelatin photographs, each measuring 1.5" x 2.5" to 3" x 4", many captioned en recto. Floodwater fills residential streets, reaches porches and railroad structures, and spreads around utility poles, frame houses, commercial buildings, and riverfront roads, many with captions identifying locations and dated March 1936. Earlier scenes dated February 1936 show heavy snow, frozen channels, broken ice, and eroded banks, giving the flood its immediate cause as well as its aftermath. The Monaca Bridge and Rochester-area views locate the disaster within the river towns northwest of Pittsburgh, where transportation, industry, and housing were built close to the water. The March 1936 flood was one of the most destructive river disasters in the history of the northeastern United States. After one of the snowiest winters in decades, western Pennsylvania experienced sudden warm temperatures and torrential rain between March 15 and March 18, causing massive snowmelt across the Allegheny, Monongahela, Beaver, and Ohio River systems. Rivers rose with extraordinary speed, overwhelming towns built directly along rail lines, mills, bridges, and industrial waterfronts. The flood killed hundreds across the region and caused damages estimated at more than $250 million nationally during the depths of the Great Depression. In Pennsylvania alone, entire business districts closed under water, rail traffic halted, and thousands were displaced. The disaster directly contributed to expanded federal flood-control policy under the New Deal, including new dam, reservoir, levee, and river management. Some mild toning and edgewear, photos and captions legible. Overall very good condition. This small, captioned group preserves a local view of that event from Beaver County rather than downtown Pittsburgh with flooded streets, threatened houses, ice-choked banks, and residents standing at the edge of the water.

Title: Dell'Arte de Fare il Vino per la Lombardia Austriaca e Metodi Practici per Fare I Migliori Vini Toscani. . . In Risposta Specialmente alle Domande dell Soc. Patriotica di Milano
Author: Fabroni, Adamo
Seller: De Simone Company, Booksellers (United States)
Description: Firenze: Presso Giovanni Silvestre, 1819. 8vo. 205 x 130 mm., [8 x 5 inches]. 101, [3] pp.. Illustrated with three engraved plates. Bound in original wrappers, stitched as issued, author and title printed on spine; a bit discoloration with age, minor foxing to the preliminary leaves. The final leaf contains a list of twelve books published by Silvester and on the verso a list of twelve books written by Conte Filippo Re and published by Silvestre. Very attractive copy. Third edition. Important copy of Fabbroni's "Art of Wine Making", a publication that responded to a question posed by a local society that asked what the best and most practical methods were for making the best quality Tuscan wine. His response was to offer general rules that were adaptable to every estate and which could serve wine producers, small farmers, and sharecroppers. This book was recognized immediately after publication and was translated into German the same year and into French in 1801. The books contains chapters describing agricultural methods in Lombardi and Austria; characteristics of various grape vines and requirements for protecting them from disease; best methods for harvesting and pressing grapes; best materials for creating vats; and how wine should be stored. His final chapters described methods for making high quality Tuscan red and white wine. The three plates illustrate the layout of a proper vineyard, irrigation patterns and machinery used to clean and press the grapes. Adamo Fabbroni (1748-1816) was a member of the enlightened class in Tuscany who dedicated much of his thought and writings to using the scientific method to advance the quality of life for the rural classes. Along with his brother Giovanni and fellow enlightenment thinkers like Marco Lasti and G. A. Targoni, agricultural science was a way of achieving this end. He wrote a book on agriculture practices entitled Istruzioni Elementari di Agricultura, which focused on ways of applying chemical as well as natural fertilizers to protect crops and increase yields. He advocated for crop rotation, soil analysis, and new mechanical equipment which would help farmers produce more and varied crops. This work was dedicated to the Grand Duke of Tuscany, a fellow enlightenment leader who was in constant search for methods of advancing the condition of the Tuscan people. Fabbroni was a correspondent with Thomas Jefferson and sent a number of his papers to Jefferson, one of which elicited a reply. Vittorio Niccoli.

Title: Clan-Albin: A National Tale
Author: [Johnstone, Christian Isobel]
Seller: Nelson Rare Books, ABAA/ILAB (United States)
Description: London: Printed for Longman, Hurst, Rees . ., 1815. Quadruple decker second edition of the anonymously published polemical novel. Affectionally referred to as the "brave-hearted lady" by Carlyle, the republication of this work in 2003 brought renewed, and deserved, attention to the long-neglected proto-feminist author. In his introduction to the 2003 edition, Professor Andrew Monnickendam notes this novel challenges commonly accepted beliefs about patriotism, gender, religion, and nationalism - noting the novel is subversive and does not shy away from controversy, an example being her referral to a military parade as a "rehearsal for murder." While titled as a national novel, Monnickendam emphasizes the novel was "at odds with the whole concept of union and patriotism that dominates the fiction of Walter Scott . . ." Moreover, Johnstone avoids the tropes of delicate or weak women, Monnickendam stresses the strength of the female protagonist, and that the "women are more rational beings, preferring healing to fighting, humanism to patriotism, and reason to emotion." This second edition was published in the same year as the first, corrected errors (though new errors and errata were added), and, perhaps ironically, added a dedication to Walter Scott. 8vo. [6], iv, 339pp.; [4], 310pp.; [4], 326pp.; [4], 326pp. Half titles in all volumes. Errata slips in vols. 2, 3, and 4. Not in Sadleir or Wolff. Garside Raven 1815:48. Good in publisher's blue boards with paper spines with labels, marginal loss to a few pages not affecting text, some minor toning, spotting and offsetting throughout, vol. 1 spine repaired with tape, boards and spines rubbed with minor loss to head and foot. Nevertheless, a desirable set of the forgotten, but important work, in publisher's original boards.
