Presentation copy inscribed and signed by both authors on the front free endpaper "To Harvey P. Keller With the good wishes of Herbert Hoover." Additionally signed by Hugh Gibson. Near fine in a very good dust jacket. "One of the outstanding differences between this war and the First World War is the amount of speculation and planning about the peace settlement being carried on while the fighting is still in progress. The present work of the ex-President and a prominent career diplomat is symptomatic of this trend. The authors make no pretense at drawing up a detailed and definitive blueprint of the new world being content rather to review very summarily indeed the path that has led us to where we are to analyze the lessons we can draw from this experience and to suggest broad principles and procedures for the coming peace settlement. They advocate that the latter be achieved in three consecutive stages the first of which shall include general disarmament" Robert Gale Woolbert. Doubleday, Doran & Company hardcover

Quinti Horatii Flacci Opera
London: Johannes Pine 1733. 1733-1737. Two volumes large octavo pp 15 264; 20 191 15 light occasional foxing otherwise clean and sound internally in a fine later Victorian binding by Francis Bedford red crushed morocco covers with triple lines ornate gilt decorated spines inner dentelles gilt marbled endpapers all edges gilt very slightly marked very slight rubbing the spines a little faded. A beautiful set of "Pines Horace ". There are two states of this edition - this is the first issue which seems to be scarcer. It is identified by the misprint 'post est' in the medallion of Caesar on p. 108 in Volume II. John Pine 1690-1756 was an English designer engraver and cartographer notable for his artistic contribution to the Augustan style and Newtonian scientific paradigm that flourished during the British Enlightenment. PRINTING AND THE MIND OF MAN 620: "This edition of Horace was printed wholly from copper plates engraved by John Pine. The text was first set in type and an impression from it on paper was transferred to the copper which was then engraved the decorations being added at the same time. The result was a page of great brilliance and precision but the method was prohibitively expensive.". Subscribers who underwrote the project included the Prince of Wales Handel Alexander Pope and Hogarth. "Pine's complete command of his craft makes this the most elegant of English eighteenth-century books in which text and illustrations alike are entirely engraved" Ray. First Edition thus. Full morocco. Very Good. Johannes Pine Hardcover

HORACE G CHASE
1844 HANDWRITTEN DIARY OF A 17 YEAR OLD BOSTON BOY DETAILING THE LIFE OF YOUNG MAN AND THE POLITICS OF THE DAY
BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS. Good. 1844. On offer is an original 1844 manuscript diary handwritten by Horace G. Chase of Boston Massachusetts. Mr. Chase is 16 years old when he starts detailing his daily life on July 2nd turning 17 only six days later on the 9th. In a half ream 22 leaves 'Quarto Post' purchased in New Hampshire Chase writes densely even using the rear endpaper his observations travels and opinions. Horace keeps his sailboat at Liverpool Wharf and in one of his early entries proves himself to be a charming fellow for the most part given how eruditely he writes of being thankful for a very fine and pleasant day that could only have been made more pleasant if he had the company of his parents. Another time he notes after a rough day: "Three cheers for home." Later on another side of his character is revealed: "The Democrat boys and the coon boys had their grand torch light procession. I saw the Whigs and they looked
reaching the whole length of Tremont St almost. They had quite a skirmish with some rowdys." Horace relishes the politics of the day and 1844 was eventful but as with any hard working teenager of the time he works in the shop eats a lot of ice cream walks with his friends Enoch and John visits Colonel and Mrs. Chase uncle and aunt perhaps and spends a fair bit of time at the Library with his friends. Horace rarely fails to mention visitors and place names throughout including John Kieth Captain Green Dr. Savony S. Stinson Mr. Jenney plus many many more. The diary ends when he is reunited with his Father and brother Charley on December 23rd at Concord. Save for some staing to the cover and a few pages the book is overall G.; English; 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall; BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS PRE CIVIL WAR PRE ABOLITION WHIGS DEMOCRATS RACE RELATIONS SLAVERY AUTOGRAPH HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT antiquité contrat vélin document manuscrit papier Antike Brief Pergament Dokument Manuskript Papier oggetto d'antiquariato atto velina documento manoscritto carta antigüedad hecho vitela documento Manuscrito HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH DIARY JOURNAL LOG KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS DIARIES JOURNALS LOGS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY . unknown

HORACE R HOBART
1895 - 1912 FIVE 5 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT NOTEBOOK JOURNALS BELONGING TO HORACE HOBART NOTED CHICAGO JOURNALIST AND FOUNDING EDITOR OF THE STILL-PUBLISHED RAILWAY AGE MAGAZINE
CHICAGO ILLINOIS IL. Good. 1895. On offer is a fantastic group of notebook journals that belonged to Horace R. Hobart. Hobart led a long and illustrious life in newspapers gazettes and magazines. Born in 1839 he was a Wisconsin Cavalry Quartermaster in the Civil War starting in 1861 until being wounded in Arkansas. Beginning in 1866 he wrote for the Chicago Tribune as a reporter than was Editor of Chicago Evening Post 1867-1870 Co-founder of the Chicago Evening Mail 1871-1873 Editor of Chicago Evening Post 1873 again editor and 1/2 owner of Daily Journal in Jacksonville IL 1874-1875 editor of the Chicago Morning Courier 1875 and finally one of the Founding Editor of Railway Age 1875 onwards which continues to be published to this very day. The notebooks range from the year 1895 - 1912. Many entries are related to expenses including other personal expenses when in Chicago Hyde Park and Evanston IL plus personal notes regarding the train trips his house construction a few jokes people he writes many names. Also included are notes regarding his work at Railway Age. This is extremely interesting as it documents his trips down the block to his trips to Europe Mexico and around the United States. For the most part Hobart seems to have used these notebooks as records of his finances He documents his expenses what he ate and did on the trips costs of tickets comments on rooms at hotels costs of various items for example: 50 cent haircuts to his Vassar College tuition payment of $300 for his daughter Helen and $10 to his wife to pay the maid. But there are plenty of more personal notes that read like more traditional diary entries especially the death of his brother. Many rail lines are mentioned; Chicago Railway Philadelphia Electric and others. He also is proud of his service and documents his service as seen below. He also discusses "pedigree" and some potential pre-revolutionary relatives. He fishes in FL and golfs in Augusta GA and FL Mexico. Each journal is completely or mostly filled with entries. Most of the entries are done in pencil and written in fairly tiny script. I would estimate that there are at least 20 pages of diary entries some fill a page others while others are brief yet many like his lists of expenses or of the train timetables. His writing can occasionally be a challenge to decipher especially in some of the earlier notebooks where the pencil has smudged. All journals are on the very small side measuring 5 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches with the smallest being 3 1/2 x 2 inches. The covers are in various states of wear but are still structurally sound. One journal 1902 - 1906 is without a front or back cover and one journal 1911 - 1912 has a cover that reads: G. Kollbrunner. Papeterie. Bern. Marktgasse 14. All the journals have Hobarts name and the years in which they represent. Mostly it documents his rail trip in Geneva Switzerland to Belgium. Text: Sunday March 24/1907. Taken with chills and fever. Several chills. Foot swollen and bothersome. Saw Dr. Webster. Said I had rheumatic gout. Went back to house and have stayed home with prospect of staying more.; Friday April 12. Went out of the house and to city for first time since Mar. 24. The 19th day of confinement. Foot still a little swollen but otherwise seem to be well.; Mar. 16 1911. Took Mrs. H. to nursing home to be treated for bronchial cough. 5 guineas a week. Attending physician Dr. Chalmers.;; Aug 25 1912. Left for Santa Fe b/c sickness of brother.; Aug. 31 1912. Edward F. Hobart died. Age 78 years 10 months. OVERALL: G.; Manuscript; 32mo - over 4" - 5" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF HORACE R.
