‎The History of Printing in America with a Biography of Printers and an Account of Newspapers. In Two Volumes Complete‎

‎Albany NY: Joel Munsell 1874. Quarter Leather. Very Good binding. Octavo. lxxxvii 1 423; viii 666 2 47 index pp. frontis plate. Second edition with the author's corrections and additions and a catalogue of American publications prior to 1776. Volumes V and VI of Archaeologia Americana. Transactions and Collections of the American Antiquarian Society. In modern morocco-backed marbled paper boards. Light wear to the bindings; fore-edge of the preliminaries are lightly chipped; a few signatures sit proud; contents toned. Pencil marginalia throughout offering corrections and elaboration. We have not assessed the accuracy of these notations but they certainly appear precise and informed. A nice set. <br /> <br /> Originally issued in 1810 this is certainly the most important history of colonial and federal era American printers. The cataloguers for the Grolier Club exhibition called it "the recognized authority on printing in the United States from 1640-1800. Much of the material which is contains can be found nowhere else" Grolier American 100 29.<br /> <br /> In this second edition the alternations and additions generally are from a corrected manuscript held by the American Antiquarian Society and from which Munsell worked. One omission of note is Thomas's history of printing in Europe that was part of the first edition. Additions of note not by Thomas are Benjamin Franklin Thomas's memoir of Isaiah Thomas; an essay on printing in South America by John R. Bartlett; and Haven's 'Catalogue of Publications in what is now the United States prior to the Revolution of 1775—6.' This Sabin tells us "had its nucleus in notes by Thomas was also issued separately and is usually known as 'Haven's list.' The death of the latter in the Civil War prevented its final revision" Sabin 95406. Howes T-168 "aa"; Bigmore and Wyman III p. 9-10; Streeter 4395. Joel Munsell unknown‎

‎Webster City Iowa: The United States Printing Company Russell & Morgan Factories n.d. ca 1891. n.d. ca. 1891. First edition. 3-1/2" x 2-1/2." The front of the card shows a very colorful picture of the King of Spades riding a bicycle and pointing to a trademark sign for Bicycle cards. He's wearing a backpack stating "Bicycle Cards" There are 2 holes in each wheel; one holds a paper wheel that turns and the other shows the numbers 1 - 10. On the reverse side of the card "Bicycle" Playing Cards are briefly described and promoted. Also stated is "Compliments of The Webster City Grocery Co. Webster City Iowa." The United States Playing Card Company was founded in 1867 as Russell Morgan & Co. a printing company. The company began printing four brands of playing cards in 1881: Tigers Sportsman's Army and Navy and Congress. They began printing Bicycle cards which would become their most popular line in 1885. Business boomed and in 1891 Russell Morgan & Co. changed its name to the United States Printing Company. The playing card business was successful enough that it was spun off as a separate business in 1894 as The United States Playing Card Company. Light soiling and rubbing to rear and with light crease running along the bottom edge. Appears to have been professionally repaired. A very nice piece of early promotional material .

Müller, 1548-1607). Die Stadt wehrt sich gegen die darin erhobenen Vorwürfe und rechtfertigt die Ausweisung des protestantischen Theologen: Mylius hatte sich, als Papst Gregor XIII. 1582 den gregorianischen Kalender verordnete und Augsburg aus Kaisertreue die Reform übernahm, an die Spitze der örtlichen protestantischen Widerstandsbewegung gestellt, die den neuen Kalender zumindest für das Kirchenjahr boykottierte. "Darüber erbost, ließ der [Augsburger] Senat [Mylius] durch Bewaffnete aus der Stadt bringen, aber die Bürger befreiten ihn und führten ihn im Triumph zurück. Doch wurde er gezwungen, am 28. Mai 1584 die Stadt zu verlassen. Mylius wandte sich nach Ulm, wo er freundliche Aufnahme fand [...] Im Juni 1585 [folgte er] einem Rufe als Prediger und Professor in Wittenberg" (ADB 23, 143).
