A book of almost legendary beauty rarity and importance recounting the author's adventures at Camp Harmony on the Restigouche River in New Brunswick and drawing upon his long experience fishing the river.<br/><br/>Dean Sage's contributions to angling literature are few in number but profoundly influential: "Ten Days' Sport on Salmon Rivers" published in the Atlantic in 1875 is a classic account. His library catalogue 2 vols.1896 1904 remains an important document in the history of angling bibliography and collecting. Sage's section on "The Atlantic Salmon" in Salmon and Trout 1902 is a synthesis of his own first hand knowledge as a fisherman and his assessment of the extensive literature. The Ristigouche and Its Salmon Fishing remains the work for which Sage is best known.<br/><br/>A family copy of one of the pinnacles of nineteenth-century angling literature inscribed to the author's son:<br/><br/> "Henry M.

Typescript with 16 mounted photographs with typed captions below. x 63 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Narrative of the adventures of the Skipper the Judge the Deacon and the Doctor on a three-day canoe trip up the Charles river from South Natick to Lake Populatic "supposed to be the head of canoe navigability." In earlier years the party had cruised the river from South street as far as Natick.<br/>The party of four embarked at a boat house in South Natick and by paddle and portage soon left the town behind. The first night they camped in a pine wood. The second day they faced windy conditions and passed the Medfield Insane Ayslum where they took on fresh water from a spring. Their maps were meager and out of date and they first had to navigate "the mystic maze of the maddening Medfield Meadows" before entering the oxbows of the Charles passing ruined factories and difficult portages on their way to the Lake where they made camp for the second night. The return trip was swiftly accomplished on the final day.<br/><br/>A handsome little volume with light-hearted prose and excellent photographic illustrations often caption with witty remarks. "Dedicated to the girls who stayed at home" on the first page of the text - and as soon as the party returned to South Natick they called their wives and dashed for the train back to Boston. unknown books‎

‎Blackbridge John‎

‎The Complete Poker Player‎

‎Danbury Conn: Behrens Publishing Company 1880. Second edition wrappered issue with Behrens imprint. x 11-174 2 ads pp. 8vo. Publisher's illustrated light blue wrappers printed in red and black. Light wear and small stains to covers. Second edition wrappered issue with Behrens imprint. x 11-174 2 ads pp. 8vo. The first Behrens edition of this foundational work on poker essentially a wrappered issue of the second Dick & Fitzgerald edition of 1880. The rare first edition of 1875 - with only one copy located on OCLC - is along with Winterblossom's The Game of Draw Poker the earliest published work dedicated solely to poker. Blackbridge attempts to legitimize poker and gambling and gaming in general harmonizing it with Christian values and drawing comparisons to generally respected professions that trade in risk such as that of banker and insurance provider. Beyond the moralizing tone Blackbridge's work provides a technical and probabilistic discussion of the game and includes a section on "Probabilities at Draw-Poker" by Dr. Pole. The rules printed in Chapter XIX are adapted from The American Hoyle. Pp. 143-174 reprint Prof. A.R. Proctor's "Poker Principles and Chance Laws." A third edition was published by Dick & Fitzgerald in 1884. Jessel 122; Horr 167 Behrens Publishing Company unknown books‎

Spectacular unrecorded privately printed hunting diary recounting a hunting expedition in Kerala southern India from 27 July to 22 September 1865 "the best shikar trip I have ever had". The narrator and his companion A.M.D. bagged 43 heads of eleven different types of big game including tiger bear elephant bison chettul and others with original albumen photographs mounted and captioned in a neat hand. <br/>The unnamed narrator mentions passing hunting parties one such Brown Jones and Robinson suggests that he read Trollope when the novel appeared as a serial in the Cornhill; the terrain around Hassanoor Ghaut was familiar to him for he had planted fruit trees and roses near a camp building; mention is made also of Hamilton Brooke and Faulkener hunting the area the previous year. This may be Douglas Hamilton who in 1892 published a long retrospective 'Records of Sport in Southern India'.<br/>The narrator buys prepared photographic plates from a departing hunter who had ordered them from the Patent dry Collodion Co. of Birmingham. The two hunters were accompanied by the dog Scamp chief among a pack that included Tinker and a plucky three-legged dog Pinko both killed by a panther and bearers of cowardly deportment save for the plucky Rajii who stood by when the narrator faced bear and elephant. At times the grass was too high for a man to get through easily.<br/>Notably the hunter describes many photographic incidents including how the frontispiece "The Tiger's Siesta" came to be made. One day D. encountered a a tigress atop the head of a young elephant and shot her despite the commotion. The young elephant ran off. The next day going to photograph the tigress the narrator was charged by a herd of elephants. He shot an elephant cow and they moved on to photograph the elephant "taking the tigress with us. The men who carried her threw her body into the elephants arms and it looked so strange the tigers mouth being curiously drawn up as if she were laughing that I thought I would try a picture in that position.".

‎The Game of Draw-Poker Mathematically Illustrated; Being a Complete Treatise on the Game Giving the Prospective Value of Each Hand Before and After the Draw and the True Method of Discarding and Drawing With a Thorough Analysis and Insight of the Game as Played at the Present Day by Gentlemen‎

‎New York: William H. Murphy 1875. First edition. viii 9-72 pp. 1 vols. 12mo. Publisher's blue cloth front cover stamped in gilt and black. Spine ends rubbed light soiling to cover and spotting to text but in all an attractive copy. First edition. viii 9-72 pp. 1 vols. 12mo. Draw Poker 1875: its Rules and Math. First edition of this important early mathematical approach to poker; along with Blackbridge's The Complete Poker Player 1875 it is the earliest book devoted soley to the game. The author Henry T. Winterblossom advertises himself as a Professor of Mathematics and his book is the first to treat the mathematical aspects of poker. Winterblossom argues that knowing the odds and probabilites of success with each hand mitigates the risk inherent in gambling and reduces the player's reliance on dumb luck: "All games of chance create a morbid appetite in those who indulge in them in proportion to their ignorance of the mathematical basis upon which those games are constructed." <br/><br/>"The National Game" a New York Times article for February 12 1875 suggests that Winterblossom is a pseudonym and though the author's real name is not revealed he was thought to be a member of New York's literary Lotus Club.<br/><br/>The earliest contemporary notice of Blackbridge's Complete Poker Player considered with Winterblossom the first books on the sport was a review in the 10 April 1875 edition of the New York Times - evidence perhaps that Winterblossom's work has precedence as the first book on poker.
