Description:
New York: Printed and published by Isaac Riley, 1809. First edition, Volume 1 [all published]. 12mo. ix, (3, blanks), 180 pp. Early use of the term "Yankey" (i.e., "New Englander") in fiction. The work is comprised of 14 letters of an imaginary tourist, an epistolary account of an American in London who writes to his friends in New England, commenting on national traits, fashions, literature, and language; famous literary forgers and booksellers are among the people described. Tyler (1757-1826; jurist and playwright) was dissolute, running through his money and womanizing; he succeeded in maintaining his anonymous authorship for this book, apparently even from his publishers (cf. Thomas Tanselle's "Royal Tyler," Harvard U. Press, 1967, pp. 189-205). Sabin 97621 (quoting Gilman): "It is proper to state that Judge Tyler never crossed the Atlantic, his description of scenes in London being entirely imaginary." BAL 20735; WRIGHT I, 2630; AMERICAN IMPRINTS 18799. Some foxing and soiling to text, one…

Description:
New Orleans [LA]: T.H. Thomason, Printer, 26 and 28 Bank Place, 1879. Black lettered green paperwraps, stitched (stitching broken, signatures separating). 22 cm. 16 pp. Some shallow chipping to wrappers, wear to spine edge. One manuscript correction in ink on the first page [changing "devastates" to "desolates"]. Lightly creased vertically from folding, else a very good copy. Hayes arrived in New Orleans in 1844, after studying medicine in Paris. He observed both the devastating yellow fever outbreaks of 1853 and 1878 in the city, and developed theories as to causes and cures. His experiences with the disease led him to believe that lack of oxygen was a main cause, and treatment could be best effected by air circulation, rest and restriction of food intake. Both his original treatise of 1858, and this one advocated such a cure. Ten listings on OCLC: Samford Univ., Univ. of Alabama, Hist. New Orleans, New Orleans Pub. Lib., Tulane, Harvard Med., Ohiolink Depository, Rutherford B. Hayes Pres. Ctr.,…

Description:
[Bourbon & Leesburg, Indiana, 1942. Seven manuscript journals kept in small top bound notebooks, each about 6 1/2 x 4 in., a total of approx. 1000 pages and 65,000 words. Bixler writes near daily entries between March 29, 1937 and April 15, 1942, a few paragraphs for each day describing his attempts at raising chickens and hogs, plowing, harvesting, cultivating a truck farm, etc., and faithfully recording the weather. He keeps an accurate record of his work life, but also notes local events, theorizes about where his life is headed, and how the impending war is affecting him. He writes in both pencil and ink, and all entries are legible and well written. Accompanying the notebooks are three of Bixler's drivers licenses, issued for 1937, 1938, and 1939. The first has a small photo of him, smiling and wearing a jaunty hat, attached to it. Also laid in is a business card from his later career as a Vice-President of H.D. Tousley Co., Inc. General Contractors, of Indianapolis, Indiana. Bixler is 19 years…
