In his early life Phillips became familiar with the Sioux Blackfeet and Crow Indians devoting himself to recording Indian life and lore. All of the tribes he encountered welcomed him and referred to him as some variation of "Lone Man." As a child he spent much of his time with the Otoes and often lived for weeks at a time with the tribe's chief and the chief's family in their lodge and accompanied them on buffalo hunts. Phillips was given the name "Comanche" by Chief High Horse of the Sioux Tribe. He began writing about outdoor life and his experiences in the West around 1887 and worked for midwestern newspapers as a cartoonist and journalist. In 1891 he worked for the Press Telegraph and Post-Intelligencer in Seattle. Phillips became a founding member of the Washington State Game and Fish Protective Association; in 1904 he began Pacific Sportsman magazine which became Outdoor Life in 1907. Phillips wrote thousands of articles on outdoor life lore and his own personal experiences growing up in the age of covered wagons cowboys and western expansion including the syndicated newspaper features "Teepee Tales" and "Sign Talk." He also wrote books and illustrated his own and others' from the 1890s to 1920s including juvenile works Indian legends and more.

In half blue morocco slipcase and chemise. Fine. First edition. 16 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. 'Liberty is dead!' - Political Tract by Shelley. According to Wise: "In 1843 when advertising the present pamphlet for sale Rodd asserted that it was a facsimile reprint of an alleged original edition of which the author had printed twenty copies in 1816. No example of this mysterious original has ever been unearthed; no trace of it beyond Rodd's own statement has ever been discovered; and no mention of any kind either of its printing or distribution is to be found in the correspondence of Shelley or any of his friends. My own opinion is that no original ever existed that the private impression of twenty copies was a myth and that Rodd's so-called facsimile reprint of 1843 is in fact the actual princeps of the Address."<br/>Political essay arguing that the death of Princess Charlotte in childbirth was "a private grief" while the execution of three weavers for high treason in Derbyshire was a national tragedy.<br/>"The execution of Brandreth Ludlam and Turner is an event of quite a different character from the death of Princess Charlotte . It is a national calamity that we endure men to rule over us who sanction for whatever ends a conspiracy which is to arrive at its purpose through such a frightful pouring forth of human blood and agony .

‎Shelley Percy Bysshe; Robinson Charles Illustrator; Gosse Edmund Introduction‎

‎The Sensitive Plant‎

‎Philadelphia: J. B. Lippincott Co 1911. First Trade Edition. Hardcover. Near fine/very good. Robinson Charles. First U.S. trade edition as illustrated by Robinson quarto size 128 pp. in original dust jacket. Percy Bysshe Shelley's 1792-1822 "The Sensitive Plant" is a delicate fairy fable about ephemeral beauty and the aspiration to follow dreams when the reality of the senses fails. It was first published in 1820 in "Prometheus Unbound" along with some of Shelley's best known work; here it is re-imagined with the hazy watercolour illustrations of prolific children's book illustrator Charles Robinson 1870-1937. Though paired with Shelley long after his death they are well matched "his black and white illustration reflects the influence of Beardsley and Walter Crane and his watercolour illustrations have delicacy and sensitivity greatly helped by the four colour process early in the century as the alternative to lithography. By incorporating lettering into the page design and in his planning of the book as a whole he developed the Arts and Crafts tradition of the book as a work of art" Peppin Brigid & Micklethwait Lucy "Book Illustrators of the Twentieth Century" p. 265. <br/><br/>This edition of "The Sensitive Plant" certainly exemplifies that ideal of the artist's hand in all aspects of a book's design with a beautifully composed typeface decorative borders pale pink page numbers and stunning full-color mounted plates. With an introduction by Edmund William Gosse 1849-1928 a poet and author who was influential in the literary world of his day encouraging the careers of Yeats and James Joyce he served as the librarian of the House of Lords and a lecturer at Trinity College eventually serving as the literary editor for the 1911 edition of the "Encyclopaedia Britannica".<br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Original full green cloth with gilt pictorial upper board and backstrip top edge gilt illustrated endpapers illustrated half-title pictorial title-page first page of the introduction framed in a pictorial border with a large decorative initial eighteen mounted color plates with tissue guards including frontis numerous color and black and white vignettes in text headpieces tailpieces and initials; quarto size 10.5" by 8" pagination: i-vi vii-xii xiii-xvi 17-127 128 the first trade edition as illustrated by Robinson vintage bookseller's ticket on rear paste-down endpaper Brentano's New York.
