‎Peterson P. Alfred‎

‎The appearings of Christ and their purpose drop title‎

‎Alvarado Minn: Maranatha Tract Mission 1930. 8vo pp. 8; self-wrappers; short tear along previous fold pages uniformly toned else very good and sound. Peterson appears to have been the editor of a the Alvarado-based Baptist journal "Maranatha" as well as two collections of Christmas tracts. The 1940 census lists a P. Alfred Peterson born in Sweden in 1886 and currently residing in Alvarado Minnesota with a wife and 5-year-old son. The author's foreign origins would most likely explain the use of the non-existent word "Appearings" in the title. This monograph on the appearances of Christ appears to be unrecorded with no holdings in OCLC COPAC or the Minnesota Historical Society as of July 2014. <br/><br/> Maranatha Tract Mission unknown books‎

‎Wealth and Resources of Alaska Census Bulletin No. 39 March 16 1891‎

‎Washington D.C.: Department of the Interior 1891. First Edition. Softcover. Very good. 15 pp 7.75 x 10 inches; stapled self-wrappers. Old creases from folding light handling wear; very good. Issued in advance of the full 1890 census report on the Alaska territory "in view of the extraordinary interest now being manifested in everything that relates to this remote and comparatively unknown country" this bulletin provides details on the "four principal sources of wealth" in Alaska: fur fish minerals and timber. The author a Russian-born soldier historian and newspaper editor was director of the 1890 Census for Alaska. Here after discussing the resources prominent in different parts of the territory he bemoans the fact that the land is being stripped of its bounty by outsiders with little care or compensation for the native population and other local residents: "The spectacle of so vast a tract of country being thus drained continually for twenty-three years without receiving anything to speak of in return can not probably be equaled in any other part of the United States and perhaps of the world." The solution he says is increased immigration and settlement by those who wish to develop Alaska's industrial potential but this "would appear to be still in the distant future." Wickersham 8626.

‎Fine Turkish Modern cloth saved original illustrated wrappers inside. Cr. 8vo. (20 x 14 cm). In Turkish. 343 p. First edition of this Turkish utopian novel in book form published after being serialized in Yeni Istanbul newspaper. Samim is the protagonist of the novel and the founder of "Simeranya" which is thought to be in the form of an island, being located elsewhere. One can go to Simeranya by dreaming or while in a dream. The space is introverted. The interior and exterior spaces were described as real places. The subject of education was given particular importance and regarded as an institution that produces and reproduces the system. The future is predictable. Although there are utopian tendencies such as those mentioned above, the novel does not carry many features of classical and modern utopia. Safa wrote about how he solved the problems that he experienced in real life in Simeranya. (Sakaci). Safa was a Turkish journalist, columnist, and novelist. He came to the fore in the Turkish literature of the Republican era with his psychological works such as Dokuzuncu Hariciye Kogusu [i.e. Ninth External Ward]. He reflected on his life and the changes to his works. He wrote many novels under the pseudonym Server Bedi. He created the type Cingöz Recai inspired by Arsène Lupin of the French writer Maurice Leblanc. He also worked as a journalist at various institutions and published in several magazines such as Kültür Haftasi with his brother Ilhami Safa. (Wikipedia). Not in OCLC.
