Lovelace, Maud Hart
Betsy Was a Junior
New York: Thomas Y. Crowell & Company 1951. Circa 1951 8vo size blue clothbound hardcover with dust jacket; 248 toned pages with black and white illustrations by Vera Neville throughout An early but not a first edition While copyright 1947 this edition is circa 1951 as it includes on the list of the author's other titles The Trees Knee at Christmas which was published that year. Please note: we see many other sellers "misrepresenting" this title. This title has been reprinted many times and this particular jacket design was used for more than 20 years. If the book has an ISBN number it's not the First Edition. If there is an ISBN number on the spine of the jacket; it's not the First Edition. If as we have explained above there are titles listed that were published years after the first edition of this one; it is not the First Edition. Author Maud Hart Lovelace 1892-1980 is best known and beloved for her Betsy-Tacy Series of children's books. This is the seventh volume in the series. From jacket: "As cheerful as a cup of tea and ten times as stimulating is the is spirited account of Betsy Ray's junior year at Deep Valley High. Those were the days when the automobile was a "horseless carriage" and a lady's hat a substantial article for protecting her head! But different though dress and customs were the heart of teen-age girls was the same as today and their problems and aspirations identical. How to ensnare masculine hearts specifically Joe Willard with this blond good looks and intriguing air of self-reliance is of course Betsy's primary concern." Price clipped jacket has initials and a stray pencil mark on the inside flap and is quite worn with significant edgewear chipping including a small chip missing from jacket spine and a tear that runs almost the entire length of the back of jacket spine. The dust jacket is fragile. It is likely with additional handling including packaging the book for shipping the jacket will separate into two pieces. Except for bumped corners under jacket book is in very good condition. . Cloth. Good/Poor. Illus. by Neville Vera. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" Tall. Thomas Y. Crowell & Company Hardcover

Griswold, Rufus Wilmot
The Prose Writers of America with a Survey of the Intellectual History Condition and Prospects of the Country.
Philadelphia: Parry & McMillan 1857. Prose Writers of America was first published in 1847 this is the 4th and last edition. And was specifically designed to compete with a similar anthology by Cornelius Mathews and Evert Augustus Duyckinck. Editor/author Rufus Wilmot Griswold was an influential editor but less than civil and scrupulous he outed Walt Whitman although apparently it took one to know one and is perhaps best remembered today for defaming Egdar Allan Poe even becoming Poe's literary executor under less than ethical circumstances. We couldn't find anyone to say anything nice about him: http://www.answers.com/topic/rufus-griswold & http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rufus_Griswold & http://www.poeforward.com/poe/griswold.html & http://www.eapoe.org/geninfo/poegrisw.htm although there is a lot of interesting reading. This volume was one of his last works a piece of somewhat controversial literary history. Green cloth with decorative gilt on front and back covers and spine. Bevelled edges. Soil to covers; chipping and wear to head and heel of spine wear to corners edgewear. Interesting cover with a cameo-like circular cut out both front and back covers with gilt floral inet. Pencilled price on fep. Frontispiece of Washington Irving. Some foxing to frontispiece title pages about the first few pages of the book and the last several. 552 toned pages with double borders. We noted two previously folded page corners a pencilled x on the margin of the first contents page and a wrinkle on contents page. Sewn binding with slightly weak endpapers. Gilt stain all around is a bit dull. The type size for this volume is on the small size about 8 points is our guess. Authors include: William Ellery Channing; Daniel Webster; John James Audubon; Joseph Stevens Buckminster; Andrews Norton; John Anderson; T. B. Thorpe; Edward Everett; Orville Dewey; James Fenimore Cooper; Caroline M Kirkland; E.P. Whipple; John Sanderson; William H. Prescott; Catherine M. Sedgwick; William Cullen Bryant; James Hall; more. Several illustrations including portraits of Joseph Story; President Edwards; John James Audubon; James Fenimore Cooper; William H. Prescott; Ralph Waldo Emerson; Charles Fenno Hoffman.

Cansick, Frederick Teague
A Collection of Curious and Interesting Epitaphs Copied from the Monuments of Distinguished and Noted Characters in the Ancient Church of Burial Grounds of Saint Pancras Middlesex
London: J. Russell Smith 1872. This is the second edition of three volumes on epitaphs. We have volume one listed separately. Gilt titles on spine show the number "2" to denote second volume. Green cloth with embossed decorations on cover. Ex-geneaology library with some markings. 204 toned pages with some illustrations. Bright yellow endpapers. Library plates on inside front cover pencilled date on fep; light split to top third of rear pastedown. Disbound front cover with first signature separated. Wear and tear to exterior spine with chipping to head and heel of spine. Some fingermarks on front cover and several spots to back cover. Bumped and worn corners. We also noted a small nick on side and two pages with small chips in the margins. Author Cansick has preserved all of these epitaphs remarkable or not but quite a departure to what we see on funerary monuments today. "Frances Smyth Spinster" probably wouldn't want that on her headstone. Epitaphs range from factual information to religious epithets; to original poetry.

Seligson, David Julius
Rabbi Chaplain and Burra Sahib
8vo size trade paperback with black and white photo illustrated front cover; 126 pages including a section of black and white photographs. In addition to serving as a chaplain overseas in World War II Rabbi Seligson served Central Synagogue in New York City as assistant rabbi then chief rabbi for 20 years and later as rabbi emeritus. He was also the host of the Message of Israel radio program. The New York Times wrote in his obituary: "Rabbi Seligson was among the first Jewish chaplains to volunteer to serve overseas during World War II. As an Army chaplain he held Passover seders for hundreds of soldiers in Calcutta India and comforted those hospitalized with jungle fever in Burma. He traveled the old Burma Road in a jeep with Christian chaplains holding Sabbath services before sundown to avoid the malaria-bearing mosquitoes that emerged at nightfall. Although Rabbi Seligson went on to achieve national prominence his chaplaincy to soldiers in wartime was his touchstone. ''I feel that it was the greatest work that I have done in my entire ministry'' he wrote in his memoir ''Rabbi Chaplain and Burra Sahib.''
