From the preface: 'Mr Woodrow Wilson late President of the United States is shown to have said:- "Yesterday" he writes from Gloucester "I rode for nearly twenty miles beside the Wye and of all the parts of England I have seen it has most won my heart."' An illness struck Wilson in 1896 and he spent the two following months cycling around Britain visiting the landscapes that inspired Wordsworth. Bibliographical References: Woodrow Wilson; Life and Letters: Princeton 1890-1910 ed. Ray Stannard Baker · 1968 "I think and I have quite made up my mind to make a pilgrimage to the region where the 'Lines' were written . . "Yesterday I rode for nearly twenty miles beside the Wye and of all the parts of England I have seen it has most won my heart". J. W. Schulte Nordholt in his biography of Woodrow Wilson 'Woodrow Wilson A Life for World Peace' published in 1991 by University of California Press states: "Because so much data have been lost uncertainty rules what we know and understand about the serious illness that struck Wilson in 1896… His loving wife believed too that it was good for him to go away and gave her approval. He spent two months travelling through his beloved England mostly on a bicycle. He visited all the shrines of his romantic imagination. Most important of course were the landscapes that had inspired Wordsworth the Lake District and The Wye Valley… It was a delightful trip that did him enormous good for he lived by such poetic contemplation. He came back with his health greatly improved." Harold Garnet Black The True Woodrow Wilson Crusader for Democracy 1946 Edwin A. Wienstein: Woodrow Wilson: A Medical and Psychological Biography. Princeton Princeton University Press 1981.

Small octavo printed without the name of the printer the place probably Germany nor the date but c1895. Black/cream marbled paper boards with vellum-look spine and corners with a hand-written title in black ink in an old style. This is a facsimile of Tondalus Ain Ritter Ausz Hybernia printed in Augsburg in 1515 by Hannsen Froschauer. At the time this book was made the original was held at the Berlin Staatsbibliothek but it was moved to the Moscow Library during WWII where it remains. The Visio Tnugdali "Vision of Tnugdalus" is a 12th-century religious text reporting the otherworldly vision of the Irish knight Tnugdalus later also called "Tundalus" "Tondolus" or in English translations "Tundale." It was "one of the most popular and elaborate texts in the medieval genre of visionary infernal literature" and had been translated from the original Latin forty-three times into fifteen languages by the 15th century. The work remained most popular in Germany with ten different translations into German including this one which is in a high renaissance German. This facsimile is in good condition. The inside front and back covers have catalog entries from 1892-1893 pasted in from a German source showing different editions of Tondolus der Ritter. Front and back end papers have some foxing the first blank has an inscription that says the original of the book is in Berlin BSM Signatur: Na 6219.

rif. 3730412Pittsburgh. 1835. 12¼ x 7½ inches. One page circular previously folded and bound. A Large notched-out area to inner margin does not affect text short edge-tears else Very Good. Printed circular and subscription announcing to Pittsburgh’s citizens a meeting of the Board of Trustees to raise money to hire Gilbert Morgan the second chancellor of what is today University of Pittsburgh. Testimonials give on behalf of Morgan were made by Theodore D. Weld Dr. Miller of Princeton Rev. Breckenridge Rev. Uffold and so forth. The trustees announce: “The undersigned approve heartily of that part of Mr. Morgan’s plan which would impart a more popular cast to the Institution by enlarging the range of studies and yielding a prominent place and consideration to such as may be turned to account in active life in whatever sphere. Our citizens have had too much reason perhaps to regard it heretofore as something which stood apart in lofty seclusion from their pursuits and and sympathies. This erroneous notion will be discarded and a deep interest claimed from all in that which is designed for the common benefit of all.” “The University’s buildings along with most of its records and files were destroyed in a widespread 1845 fire that wiped out 20 square blocks of the most valuable part of Pittsburgh.” Wikipedia Unrecorded in OCLC. unknown
1858rif. 69335NP Allegheny County PA 1858. Broadside 49 x 23 cm. Text in two columns with caption title in large bold type. Old fold lines a few tiny holes and some toning previous owner's pencil margin notes. The text reads in part: "From necessity Fellow Citizens we are compelled to talk to you through the medium of Hand-Bills and Circulars the Newspaper Press of the County having been bought by the Railroads and Bondholders." The anonymous author warns fellow taxpayers their hard earned money is being plundered to finance the debts of "worthless and defaulting Rail Road Companies -- viz: The Steubenville Allegeheny Valley and Chartiers." The appeal challenges taxpayers to use their votes to elect a Commissioner and Treasurer who "will not suffer the tax to be levied or assessed." Statistics related to the debts for the cities of Pittsburgh and Allegheny as well as the county totalling $5500000 are given. Noted are roads "repudiated" in 1856 and 1857 and an estimate for ones that "will repudiate in 1858" helping to date this piece. "Will you cast your Suffrages for a Ticket pledged to enforce the collection of these Taxes. or will you rather use the power of the ballot box. to compel the Robbers who have been plundering you to surrender their ill-gotten Gains. The 1850s were an era of increasing infrastructure investments in railroads at least partially financed through taxes and bonds. The Pennsylvania Railroad chartered by the state legislature in 1846 ran its first excursion train to Pittsburgh in 1851. The Ohio & Pennsylvania Railroad chartered two years later began to use a station at Allegheny City in 1851. The two lines were connected by a bridge across the Allegheny River in 1858. The pencil notes on this copy posit a question: "What would City Property be worth without Public improvements." see: William Kenneth Schusler's essay part of his doctoral dissertation "The Railroad Comes to Pittsburgh". unknown books
