Illustrated with wonderful monochrome photogravure engravings and plates. There are no color plates in this set, nor do any seem called for. The original paper wrappers for the parts are brittle, but this is of little concern because the portfolios act as wraps. There is some soiling and wear, here and there, but generally this is a very nice set of the most deluxe edition. Number 225 of a total edition limited to only 500 copies. Howes W79.

Shea, John Gilmary.
A CHILD'S HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES. From the Earliest Records to the Present Time. Including the Late Civil War with its Battles and Battle-Fields. ORIGINAL PARTS ISSUE.
Issued (by subscription) in forty-six eighty (46) original parts, bound in 28 magazine-format issues. 4to. 200 x 285 mm. Numerous engravings, portraits, maps and plates. Though the spines on many of the paper wraps are gone, this set is generally in wonderful condition. Books in parts are works which were published piecemeal (mainly in the 19th century) over a period of months or years. Each unit usually having a separate magazine-like cover. This method of publishing benefited the publisher as it was thought that the price of a weekly or monthly part at one shilling or a quarter was affordable to a wider readership than the price of pound sterling or $ 5.00 for a bound volume. They also qualified for mailing at a cheaper rate. Since they were meant to be bound by the purchaser, very few have survived into our present era. This set is extremely scarce in parts format. This edition apparently not in Arents (1957). **PRICE JUST REDUCED! PARTS 3

MEMOIR OF SIR BENJAMIN THOMPSON, COUNT RUMFORD, With Notices of His Daughter. Published in connection with an edition of Rumford's complete works, by the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Boston.
pp. xvi, 680 + full page plates. Very XLib. Many signatures loose. Large 8vo. Original full cloth binding, worn. Hardbound. Poor copy. The career and accomplishments of the American born Count Rumford (1753-1814) are quite remarkable. Thompson was an active and prolific inventor, developing improvements for chimneys, fireplaces and industrial furnaces, as well as inventing the double boiler, a kitchen range, and a drip coffeepot. He invented a percolating coffee pot following his pioneering work with the Bavarian Army, where he improved the diet of the soldiers as well as their clothes. The Rumford fireplace created a sensation in London when he introduced the idea of restricting the chimney opening to increase the updraught, which was a much more efficient way to heat a room than earlier fireplaces. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!
