GRAPHICS .
St. Louis: William Marion Reedy 1913. Octavo pp. 1-8 1-2 3-319 320: blank original pictorial gray cloth front panel stamped in orange and black spine panel stamped in black. First edition. The second and last of Lyon's two books both collecting some of his short fiction. Lyon's untimely death at age 33 cut short a promising literary career. His fiction was of high caliber and has been favorably compared with that of Stephen Crane and Ambrose Bierce. "The 31 tales and sketches in SARDONICS and GRAPHICS can be properly compared with the work of Crane and Bierce for vivid highly characterized and purposeful narrative. 'The Second Motive' in SARDONICS and 'Revenge' in GRAPHICS are psychological murder tragedies at the two extremes of the social scale. Lyon like Crane and Norris died before his talents had fully matured and unfortunately when his work had only begun to appear in McCLURE'S MAGAZINE and to attract special attention." - Bennett A Practical Guide to American Book Collecting p. 204. Most of the stories in GRAPHICS a collection dedicated to Joseph Conrad are mystery or detective shorts some with fantastic elements. "The Wind in the Lilacs" and "A Book in a Running Brook" contain short fairy tales with talking objects. "Ask and It Shall Be Given" features a blind boy who asks for the return of his sight on Christmas; an angel appears and gives him the ability to see into the hearts of people and this leads to an acceptance of his condition. Another Christmas story "The 2000th Christmas" is set in the future and features a mysterious young Jew who possesses magical abilities and whose visit may constitute the second coming. "These stories of the straitened lives of people most of them poor but a few rich alternate between bleak cynicism and pietistic sentiment." - Robert Eldridge. Smith American Fiction 1901-1925 L-614. Hubin 1994 p. 519. A clean bright very good copy. #145058 William Marion Reedy unknown books

Charles Wilbur de Lyon Nichols
The Ultra-Fashionable Peerage of America: An Official List of Those People Who Can Properly Be Called Ultra-Fashionable in the United States
New York: George Harjes Publisher 1904. Cloth. Very Good. WARMLY INSCRIBED BY THE AUTHOR CHARLES WILBUR DE LYON NICHOLS along the margins of his frontispiece portrait. A solid very presentable copy to boot of the 1904 1st edition of this uncommon look at the elite of America's gilded age . Bright and VG in its purple cloth with lightly-rubbed gilt-titling along the front panel very light wear at the spine ends and front tips and a bit of light spotting to the rear panel. Internally clean as could be with no writing or markings other than the author's wonderful inscription to speak of. Octavo includes official lists of "The 150" and "The 400" among the "ultra-fashionable peerage of America" as well as "a few appended essays on ULTRA-SMARTNESS". A nice piece of not only Americana but of turn-of-the-century American social and genealogical history. Records show that only 1 copy in 1913 has come to auction since its 1904 publication. <br/><br/> George Harjes, Publisher hardcover books

James Lyon Publisher Editor and Founder
National Magazine; or a Political Biographical Historical and Literary Repository The 1st Issue Signed by James Lyon
Richmond Virginia: James Lyon 1799. Original wraps. Good . The June 1st 1799 maiden issue of "National Magazine" which represents the first magazine ever published in Virginia the first magazine printing of the Virginia Constitution and Kentucky Resolutions and "an extraordinary contemporary resource for the anti-Federalist Jeffersonian Strict Constructionist philosophy of the Virginia School a philosophy that Virginians developed to oppose the policies of Alexander Hamilton and the Washington-Adams administrations " from "The Remnant Trust". This the "first National Magazine" was issued in Richmond by its young publisher and editor James Lyon and was printed semi-quarterly. Six issues all told were published in Richmond "after which Lyon removed to the new seat of the Federal government". This orginal issue has been beautifully and skillfully re-bound in 1998 by the Thistle Bindery of Florence MA and has had both its original light-brown wrappers seemlessly bound-in. The wrappers show chipping along the edges and a degree of inevitable wear but miraculously almost no loss to the titling. Crisp new endsheets and thick card wrappers nicely protect the fragile original text which has held up surprisingly well. There's a bit of light forgivable offsetting to the body --and along the original endsheets-- and the Subscription page which shows that one "Prin Perkins" is to receive a six month subscription for the price of two dollars INCLUDES JAMES LYON'S STRONG SIGNATURE IN INK AS AFFIRMATION. Octavo 107 original pgs. plus an itemized laid-in letter from Thistle Bindery and a wonderful handwritten 2 pg. example of "Binder's Notes" along the new rear endsheets mapping out the care --and the technical processes-- that went into both creating such an elegant re-binding and protecting the original text. An impressive important piece of Americana. <br/><br/> James Lyon paperback books
