Bottom corners of first three leaves missing, with loss of three or four numbers on a chart on one page, else VG. In plastic report covers. From the introduction: "During the five years that have elapsed since the writer's revision of the genus Collocalia appeared, the United States National Museum has acquired considerable additional material in this group. These specimens show that there are several more forms of Collocalia fuciphaga worthy of recognition, and that, in consequence, the ranges and characters of other races are more or less in need of readjustment. The following synopsis of the subspecies of Collacalia fuciphaga will, therefore, take the place of the one previously published.".

New York: Robert O. Ballou Book. Good. Hardcover. 1st Edition. (1932), viii, 294pp, index. G in poor, badly worn, lightly stained dj, with several open tears, contents G. From the dj: "To most persons the name "Nietzsche" connotes an abstract philosophy composed of pessimism, fatalism, a certain hardbitten disregard for the ordinarily accepted humanities. In SON OF THE MORNING Edward J. O'Brien has written a warm, human story, a story of the man Nietzsche, of a sensitive and deeply religious childhood, and of a defense mechanism which Nietzsche set up to shield him from the pain of living. He tells, as completely as possible, for the first time much of the story of Nietzsche's unrequited love for Cosima Wagner and its tragic ending, and shows how it permanently influenced his philosophy and changed the history of European thought.".

Chicago: Union Book Company Book. VG. Soft cover. 1901, pp193-201. Removed from WITH THE WORLD'S GREAT TRAVELLERS, Edited by Charles Morris and Oliver H.G. Leigh. May include a first or last copied page. VG. From the introduction: "The modern enlightenment of Europe is a class enlightenment only. The mass of many populations still dwell in the shadow of mediaeval superstition. As one example of this we append the following description of a curious religious mania, a relic from the centuries of mediaevalism. The party of travellers with whom we have to deal had seen all there was to see in Trier (Treves), and the suggestion was made to go see the jumping procession at Echternach, which would come off on Whit-Tuesaday. An expedition thither was accordingly organized." I believe this parade is still being held in Echternach on Pentecost Tuesday, but it may be called the Dancing Procession today. .

Olmsted's journal, published here for the first time, offers not only a provocative account of the adventures of a swashbuckling privateersman but also insight into the history of the usage of the English language in America. Gideon Olmsted, (1749-1845), born in Hartford, Connecticut, was the great uncle of landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. In 1778 he and his companions were captured at sea by the British. They successfully mutinied and took control of the ship, Active, and were sailing it to the United States, when it was, in turn, captured by a Pennsylvania brig, Convention, whose captain claimed it for Pennsylvania since it still carried British papers. What ensued was a thirty year legal battle over Olmsted's rights to the ship, and ultimately a…
