Good. octavo 51 pages written on letterhead of the Department of the Interior United States Geological Survey rectos only neatly inscribed in pencil and ink very good. This account appears to have been a draft and may have been intended for publication there are numerous corrections changes and emendations throughout the work. The unidentified author traveled by rail from Yellowstone to Seattle and from there to Alaska by steamer. The author visited Ketchikan Seward Anchorage Fairbanks where time was spent with the Mayor Valdez Juneau Prince William Sound Cordova Columbia Glacier etc. The author comments upon the events of the trip and gives interesting information on accommodations for tourists describes the scenery and topography a twelve page description of Columbia Glacier and also describes the towns and cities visited. "Valdez represents the tragedy of mining towns. It is really a dead mining town & it is a real tragedy to walk through and see the great number of vacant houses. Really it is hard to understand the lure of such a place." "Anchorage was created as an operating base for the construction of the railroad and has large permanent railroad yards & shops. It is the youngest and most up to date town in Alaska. For the tourist however it has little of interest." "Fairbanks a town almost exclusively of log cabins. the city is isolated because of its great distance from anywhere and people of the States do not care to spend so much time in traveling to reach the place." books

1923ref. 16688Chicago: Covici-McGee Co. Very Good in Very Good dj. 1923. 2nd printing. Hardcover. NOISBN . spine slightly turned a bit of dust-soiling to top edge a couple of lightly bumped corners one-time owner's address label on front pastedown; jacket moderately edgeworn spine browned small chip at top of rear panel; jacket a teensy bit shorter than the book apparently made that way. "A novel of protest written by a young apostle of revolt against the present system of education in the colleges." Although the author is not identified by gender the book seems to have a definite feminist slant telling of the travails of a young graduate student teaching Freshman English while dealing with "the undercurrent of malice and politics" at the university. She finds that "the departments are run by old men who have lost touch with the students" and feels herself "powerless to defeat the red-tape and apathetic disregard of the older men." Neither the city nor the specific university in the book are identified but add the Chicago imprint to the description of the school "on the shore of the great lake in the broad Middle-West" do the math and get back to me about where YOU think it is. The author of the 1962 study "The College Novel in America" speculated that the book was "possibly by Zoë Flannagan" but gives no indication who the hell "Zoë Flannagan" might have been.

ref. 30333small quarto 84 pages plus blanks entries written on lined paper in ink bound in half black leather marbled paper covered boards worn at tips of spine corners and edges of boards boards scuffed outside hinges of binding mostly open but boards attached text block good. Volume was printed by "R.C. Root Anthony & Co. Stationers Printers & Lithographers No. 16 Nassau St. cor. Pine New York." Front board contains paper label with "Estimate Book" written on it Includes index in front of book with names of 24 different individuals or companies. The first 84 pages of text consists of the "Estimate Book" of the contractor recording various contracts that he appears to have bid on given estimates and perhaps in some cases eventually secured the contract. Some pages have "entered" with a circle around it as if to say that this bid was accepted. Other estimates show changes or monies subtracted. After the entries for the contractor's estimate book there are two other sections with entries as well as a number of blank pages. Just after the Estimate Book there is a 5 page section of diary entries which are dated 1 Jan. - 3 Feb 1909 written in pencil and in a legible hand. At the rear of the volume there is another 5 page section which has one page written in ink the others in pencil and is dated 1911. It is unclear what the relationship of these two small sections to the larger contractor's Estimate Book. It's possible they are related but they differ in dates by forty to fifty years. These two smaller sections appear to be related. The first 5 page section is a diary presumably kept by a woman and she mentions doing seamstress work. The section small section of 5 pages is of accounts where the product being shipped is shawls. These sections also appear to have some sort of Philadelphia PA connection. Description of "Estimate Book" While the volume is not signed and the name of the contractor is not known the volume does include an index at the beginning and records 24 different contracts that our contractor either carried out or bid on. If he carried out a project and since the name and street is given of the property to be worked on it could be possible with further research in old newspaper databases to find out who built these "new" structures perhaps in the classified sections of the papers. Some of these projects were: M & S Steinberger on White St. where he repaired beams worked on flights of stairs ran ventilation to a water closet etc. J.C. Hamilton - Barclay St. where he put in steam pipes laid a floors hung wainscoting installed various hardware etc. He did considerable work for Hamilton covering over fifteen pages of this volume. Abbott & Fuller had some work done fitting up offices in the "Hamilton Building." One entry 6 pages long is for the "rebuilding of Apollo Hall 28th St. & B'Way." The theatre sat at 31 W. 28th Street near Broadway. The theatre was originally built in 1868 and was named Gilsey's Apollo Hall. In 1870 it was renamed the St. James Theatre. Its capacity was approximately 1530 seats. In its early years it offered lectures in the upstairs hall and musical entertainment in the main auditorium. When Augustin Daly's former Fifth Avenue Theatre on 24th Street burned down in 1873 Daly moved his company to the St. James remodeled it and renamed it the New Fifth Avenue Theatre where he continued as proprietor until 1877. It was this remodeling of the theatre in June 1873 that is recorded in this volume. The entire estimate for remodeling by this contractor came to $19939.94. This theatre was the first theatre to introduce air conditioning. It was destroyed by fire in 1891 and finally demolished in 1939. In an entry from June 1868 our contractor bids on construction of five new houses at the corner of 52nd Street and 8th Avenue for a Mr. Walton. The estimate is laid out over five pages with a total cost to be $29352.15. At about this same time our contractor bid on another five house project this time for a Mr. Edward N. Saylor Jr. totaling $34789.00. Messrs. L.W. & T.M. Andrews also had a contract taken out for four houses on 42nd Street between 5th & 6th Avenues two large houses $20789.26 and two smaller houses $12761.56. Another project he appears to have bid on was the Gilsey Hotel at the corner of Broadway and 29th Street coming in at an estimate of $32750.00. It is unclear if he was the eventual contractor on the job. The building still exists today and is on the historical register. All of these estimations give the amount of lumber and other material needed as well as labor costs by the day. Sometimes the contract appears to show either the material cost separately or combined with labor. Other times labor is specifically separated out. Some bids were updated or stated to have been "entered." books

ref. TM 466ELEGANT MANUSCRIPT CONTAINING TWO WORKS OF SPIRITUAL AND MORAL EDIFICATION IN FRENCH TRANSLATION. Illuminated manuscript on parchment in French France after 1482 c. 1490. Dimensions 274 x 175 mm. 70 folios written in a Gothic bâtarde bookhand 18 large initials parti-colored in red and/or blue inserted leaf in first quire with FULL-PAGE HERALDIC COMPOSITION IN GOLD SILVER RED BLUE AND BLACK. BINDING: Bound in modern nineteenth-century blue velvet over wooden boards pink paper pastedowns and endleaves edges gilt. TEXT: Manuscript contains two works that reflect the spirituality of fifteenth-century Carthusians and their quest for the contemplative life. The first text Sept fruits de la tribulation is known in only five extant manuscript and is still unedited. A free French version probably dating from the fifteenth century of either the longer Latin Tractatus de tribulacione or an abridged adaptation of the French Livre de tribulacion. The second text Miroir d'or de l'ame pecheresse is a work of spiritual edification which consists of seven sections: on human misery sin especially lechery penance rejection of the world the vanity of human wishes death and hell and heaven. There is neither a modern critical edition of the second text nor a complete census of the existing manuscripts; the copy here was apparently made from an incunable edition of c. 1490. This manuscript begins with a remarkable added full-page illuminated frontispiece with the coat of arms and motto of Louis de Grolée fl. late fifteenth-early sixteenth century the abbot of Bonnevaux and Saint-Pierre de Vienne. PROVENANCE: Copied in France perhaps northeastern based on script and linguistic characteristics as well as internal evidence. It belonged to Louis de Grolée fl. late fifteenth-early sixteenth century. It then belonged Charles Chardin bibliophile. It was later a part of the collection of Sir Thomas Phillipps 1792-1872 who has been described as the greatest private manuscript collector of all time. CONDITION: Gold slightly rubbed some off-setting from heraldic painted composition to opening text page slight staining in upper margin and into three lines of text ff. 68-69. Overall good condition.
