Florence Nightingale 1820-1910.
New York:: McGraw-Hill 1951. 1951. 8vo. x 372 pp. Plates title printed in red and black. Green gilt-stamped cloth; edges worn. Good. "Cecil Blanche Woodham-Smith was a British historian and biographer. She wrote four popular history books each dealing with a different aspect of the Victorian era. … Her first book as a historian a biography of Florence Nightingale published in 1950 took her straight to the top of her profession. Her meticulous research had taken nine years and the book succeeded in restoring Nightingale's reputation which had dwindled following Lytton Strachey's representation of her in Eminent Victorians. Acclaimed for its combination of scholarship and readability Florence Nightingale won the James Tait Black Award for biography." Wikip. MK McGraw-Hill, (1951). hardcover books

Quoted what you said about Harriet. They agreed with you about Harriet but wanted to do the broadcast of Bedfellows because they thought it would help it from the exploitation angle. They have I understand some scheme in mind for having a thirty-day limit on the broadcast and then getting the film. I suppose. to show to theatre managers ahead of the road show." Boldly signed and in excellent condition. From the archive and papers of Samuel French & Son's.<br/><br/> RYERSON Florence 1892 - 2013 1965 American playwright best remembered as the co-author of the screenplay for the 1939 classic film The Wizard of Oz. Her contributions were numerous including the creation of the multi-roles of actor Frank Morgan who played the Wizard and Ryerson's invented character Mr. Marvel. She also focused the story almost entirely on Dorothy's desire to return home and the Wicked Witch's desire to possess the Ruby Red Slippers. It was her script that introduced the blatant "There's No Place like Home" motif to the film: In order to return to Kansas Dorothy must click the Ruby Red Slippers together and say three times; "There's No Place Like Home". It was also her idea that Dorothy first melted the Wicked Witch by accident because the witch was attempting to set fire to the Scarecrow an idea that preserved Dorothy's purity of motive.<br/><br/> unknown books

June Mad: A Comedy in Three Acts
New York/Los Angeles/Toronto: Samuel French. Very Good. c.1939. First Edition. Softcover. good sound copy some wear and age-browning along spine tiny ink mark on front cover light external soiling; text is clean and unmarked. B&W photo frontispiece This play about teenage puppy-love was "suggested by" this husband-and-wife writing team's novel "This Awful Age" published in 1930. The play was staged in Hollywood in February 1939; the Los Angeles Times critic praised its "unusually witty" dialogue and described it was "a turbulent hullabaloo of youth indulging in every phase of the coming-of-age event in which there's certainly never a dull moment." A prospective Broadway production was teased in the press but never came to be; it did however serve as the source even though Ryerson and Clements only got a "story by" credit for the 1941 Columbia film HER FIRST BEAU starring Jane Withers and Jackie Cooper. .

Renard Maurice translated and adapted by Florence Crewe Jones
The Hands of Orlac
New York: E.P. Dutton & Co. Inc. Very Good in Fair dj. 1929. 2nd printing. Hardcover. book is lightly worn with a touch of dust-soiling and faint spotting on the top edge of the text block; the jacket alas is badly compromised due to a large chunk having been torn away from the top left corner of the front panel taking with it about half of the title. "Body horror" novel about the psychological havoc wrought upon a famous pianist when his hands mangled in an accident are surgically replaced by those of a recently-executed murderer. Originally published in France in 1920 the novel was first filmed as a 1924 silent in Austria directed by Robert Wiene of "Caligari" fame; subsequent movie versions acknowledging the source novel were MAD LOVE 1935 starring Colin Clive and Peter Lorre and THE HANDS OF ORLAC 1960 with Mel Ferrer and Christopher Lee. It was also unofficially remade without source attribution as HANDS OF A STRANGER 1962 and is often acknowledged as an inspiration for the 1946 thriller THE BEAST WITH FIVE FINGERS. Rare in the dust jacket this example of which apart from the noted large missing piece is virtually unworn and is a great candidate for professional restoration. Alternatively one could take the much less expensive approach of obtaining a beautiful facsimile of the original jacket from the well-known purveyor of such things; details upon request. . E.P.

Tentamina experimentorum naturalium captorum in Academia del cimento sub auspiciis Serenissimi Principis Leopoldi Magni Etruriae Ducis. . .
Lugduni Batavorum:: Joan. et Herm. Verbeek 1731. 1731. Two parts bound as one. 4to. xvi xlviii vii 193 1; 192 xiv pp. Title printed in red & black 32 engraved folding plates 1 folding table index; margin of p.99 trimmed 1 ¾ x 2" away. some foxing browning of leaves title very browned due to offsetting. Beautifully preserved original mottled calf raised bands gilt spine compartments red leather spine label. Ownership mark on title of "Mr. Al. Liotard." Very good. FIRST EDITION incorporating the first Latin edition of the Saggi di naturali esperienze 1667 prepared by the Accademia del Cimento Florence with substantial additions throughout by Musschenbroek. Musschenbroek was one of the great physical experimenters and lecturers of the eighteenth century and the teacher of Nollet. This book contains the first description of the pyrometer an instrument for measuring the expansion of solid bodies under the influence of heat. Like many of Musschenbroek's books the Tentamina contains fine illustrations and is concerned with experiments in measuring humidity magnets and electricity air pressure the structure of ice heat and cold capillarity optics the motion of sound etc. / "He devised many of his experiments in the process consulting records of other experimenters among them those of the Accademia del Cimento. Musschenbroek translated their accounts into Latin adding reports concerning his own work 1731." :: Encyclopedia. / The work opens with Musschenbroek's Oratio de Methodo Instituendi Experimenta Physica regarding his views on experimental philosophy as inspired by Newton. "Underlying Musschenbroek's lectures demonstrated with experiments was the experimental philosophy the principal source of inspiration was Newton but Galileo Torricelli Huygens Reaumur and others were important to this school." :: DSB IX p. 596. The Accademia del Cimento Academy of Experiments was founded in Florence in 1657. Among the founding members were Borelli Steno Redi Cassini Viviani and Torricelli these final two being disciples of Galileo. This makes the Accademia older than either the Royal Society or the Academie des Sciences. Count Lorenzo Magalotti's text includes accounts of experiments on temperature and air pressure including Torricelli's invention of the barometer the velocity of sound and light phosphorescence magnetism amber and other electrical bodies the freezing of water etc. The many fine plates in this translation illustrate the Accademia's work as well as Musschenbroek's own subsequent experiments. :: Wolf History of science I pp. 55-59.2 parts in 1. / Musschenbroek 1692-1761 professor of natural philosophy and mathematics at Utrecht and later professor of experimental physics at Leyden. He was one of the most celebrated physicists and investigators of his time; the experiments he describes are classics in primary instruction. / "Musschenbroek's earliest account of electricity 1731 the estimable notes to his Latin translation of the Saggi is fuller more circumspect and less coherent than 's Gravesande's which he later entertained favorably. Two curious points emerge from the notes. To resolve the discrepancy between the results of Boyle and Hauksbee who respectively did and did not succeed in generating electricity in vacuo Musschenbroek hit on an unprecedented and prescient idea; remarking that Boyle used amber and Hauksbee glass he concluded that these substances have different electricities. . . The second point concerns repulsion. Musschenbroek records without emphasizing Hauksbee's observation that light bodies are sometimes repelled farther than they are attracted; he squeezes it into a note that also gives an excellent prescription for rubbing the tube :: always end with your hands together :: and a warning about atmospheric humidity. He does not recognize that the Saggi require updating about repulsion and concentrates on the perplexing behavior of screens the opacity of muslin and the transparency of glass." :: J. L. Heilbron Electricity in the 17th and 18th Centuries: A Study of Early Modern Physics 1979 p.242. / Wheeler Gift 276. Not in Bakken. FULL TITLE: Tentamina experimentorum naturalium captorum in Academia del cimento sub auspiciis Serenissimi Principis Leopoldi Magni Etruriae Ducis et ab ejus Academiae Secretario Conscriptorum: Ex Italico in Latinum Sermonem conversa.
