Contemporary Jonathan Cape prospectus (for other titles) laid in.

Description:
London: Royal Geographical Society, 1843. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine. First appearance of two important articles on Texas extracted from Volume XIII, Part 2 of the Journal of the Royal Geographical Society. 8vo, pp 199-226 and 226-244, bound in recent quarter cloth and marbled boards. Fine. Falconer's Journey through Texas and New Mexico (pp. 199-226) describes his travels from Galveston to San Antonio and then to Austin in 1841. This is followed by his account of the Texas Santa Fe Expedition, which, according to Streeter (1496, referencing the 1843 offprint of Falconer's article), differs somewhat from the account he published in New Orleans in 1842. In the last four pages, Falconer argues that Texas was not part of Louisiana when it was ceded by Spain to France. In Notes on the Coast Region of the Texas Territory, Bollaert -- an English chemist, geographer, and ethnologist -- offers observations on the winds affecting the coastal geography of Texas, discusses the errors present in many of the…

Description:
Davis, CA: Center on Administration of Criminal Justice, University of California, Davis, 1974. Hardcover. Very Good. 87 pp, in original wrappers. Some light handling wear, middle binding fastener missing; text clean. Organized into five sections: the robbery setting; the handling of robbery arrestees; the geography of robbery, the response of the police and other agencies to robbery, and the history and concept of robbery. Interestingly, the study begins with the assertion that "there can be little doubt that citizens are today less safe in the streets than they were two decades or even one decade ago. The populace on the whole knows this and is concerned about it." They cite a rise in robbery of 250 percent between 1960 and 1972. This study, intended to explore the patterns of robbery and criminal justice response to it in the United States, used the city of Oakland, California as a case study.

Description:
Wichita, KS, 1932. Very good. Volume I, Number 1 of this newspaper published by the Wichita Opportunity School, which offered adult education and vocational training. Approx. 18" x 12.5", 4 pp, on good-quality coated stock. Folding creases, otherwise minimal wear. The Opportunity School was founded in 1912 as the Wichita Night School and changed its name around 1918, when it reopened after a two-year closure. Originally catering primarily to immigrants wanting to learn to read and write in English, it expanded its offerings over the year to include general vocational training, as well as cultural and artistic enrichment opportunities. This inaugural (and possibly the only) issue gives some history of the school and describes its courses (special note is made of a new "Americanization" class) and their benefits. One article lists subjects students have requested be added to the curriculum; others report on goings-on opportunity schools in other states. Not located in OCLC.

Description:
Three albumen prints, each about 4.5" x 7", on black card mounts reading "C. Will Fisher, Demorest, Georgia." One shows a wide street on a slope, with a buggy and a storefront in the foreground. On the back in pencil: "Jessie Ashby in cart, Dr. Fitch's horse and cart" and "Mrs. -------'s store, after Mr. Dunlap's." The other two show houses spread along shore around Lake Demorest;one has "1890" written on the back. Demorest was founded in 1889 by the Demorest Home, Mining & Improvement Company--a corporation made up of nine prohibitionists whose goal was to build a model city without alcohol in a cultural environment where schools, churches and industry would be promoted for the development of ideal home and family life. The lake, a city park, and a commercial district were part of the planned community. Photographer Carey William Fisher (1849-1919) was born in Indiana, lived and worked as a photographer for some time in Harlan, Iowa, and moved to Georgia in 1889. His daughter, Genevieve, also became…

Gift inscription on front endpaper. The Church Missionary Society sent the author to Uganda in 1900, when she was 24, and she married a fellow missionary 2 years later. "The gently pygmies were her favorite converts, and the 'Black Baganda' tribesmen of Bunyoro...her favorite storytellers. [Her] purpose in writing was as much to tell these stories of indigenous Ugandan culture as to proselytize" and "her books are remarkably free of missionary propaganda" according to Robinson (Wayward Women, P. 161).
