rif. 122472New York & London John Wiley & Sons Inc.; Chapman & Hall Ltd. 1947. . First edition; 8vo; diagrams within the text note in blue ink on front free endpaper contents faintly toned in the margins; original blue cloth titles to spine and upper board gilt minor horizontal production flaw to the cloth lightly rubbed along the edges a very good copy in the rubbed and partially toned jacket with a few small chips; 212pp. First edition of a revolutionary work in mathematics and decision theory. Uncommon in the dust jacket. Abraham Wald 1902-1950 a pioneer in the field of operations research earned his PhD in mathematics at the University of Virginia. He emigrated to the US after the annexation of Austria and worked in econometrics joining the Columbia faculty in 1941. Wald studied wartime statistics problems as a member of the Statistical Research Group making the now-famous counterintuitive determination that it was the damaged parts of military aircraft which returned safely that did not need extra shielding. Wald is considered the founder of the field of sequential analysis in which sample sizes in statistical analysis are not pre-determined but data is analyzed as it is collected lowering the time and financial costs of research. He focused on sequential analysis as a tool for industrial quality control but it has found uses in many other fields most notably pharmaceutical clinical trials.

Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear. Tom Taylor 19 October 1817 12 July 1880 was an English dramatist critic biographer public servant and editor of Punch magazine. Taylor had a brief academic career holding the professorship of English literature and language at University College London in the 1840s after which he practised law and became a civil servant. At the same time he became a journalist most prominently as a contributor to and eventually editor of Punch. In addition to these vocations Taylor began a theatre career and became best known as a playwright with up to 100 plays staged during his career. Many were adaptations of French plays but these and his original works cover a range from farce to melodrama. Most fell into neglect after his death but Our American Cousin 1858 which achieved great success in the 19th century remains famous as the piece that was being performed in the presence of US President Abraham Lincoln when he was assassinated in 1865. hardcover
1788rif. 702L27Boston: John Norman 1788. First edition. Disbound. Fair. 7" by 4". None. An extremely scarce American almanac from the eighteenth century containing ephemerides. An early publication following American independence this work contains many astronomical notes. The first edition of this almanac containing many tables of ephemerides for the year 1789. Undated dated using Library Hub as 1788. Very scarce only seen at auction twice in the last forty years. Both times disbound - as issued Abraham Weatherwise was a pseudonym used for many almanacks from the years 1784 to 1788. It is believed that this is a pseudonym for Samuel Bullard. This is because the astronomical notes on the calendar pages parallle those in his 'An almanach for the year of the Christian aera 1789 Boston'. Disbound as issued lacking the half-title and bookseller's advertisement occasionally seen. This astronomical calendar was calculated for the meridian of Bostonm 'but will serve for the adjacent states'. A very scarce work. Disbound. Externally chipped to the extremities with handling marks and a light tidemark to the front wrap. Internally firmly bound. Chipping has affected the bottom seven entries of the tables which are slightly obscured due to a spill burn. Tidemark to the final three leaves not affecting the text. Occasional spots to pages.

1801rif. 3776First Portuguese Translation of Bosse's Engraving Manual BOSSE Abraham. Tratado da Gravura a agua forte e a buril e em maneira negra com o modo de construir as prensas modernas e de imprimir em talho doce. Nova ediçao traduzida do francez. por José Joaquim Viegas Menezes. Lisbon Arco do Cego 1801. Tall 8vo 208 x 152 mm engraved title pp. x ix 1 189 1 errata with 21 engraved plates; plates printed on slightly darker stock; a wide-margined clean copy in recent full calf gilt. First Portuguese translation of Bosse's classic introduction to copperplate etching and engraving Traité des manières de graver en taille douce. This Portuguese translation by José Joaquim Viegas Menezes is clearly taken from the Jombert edition and reproduces the same plates though newly engraved with subtle adaptations; an extensive introduction precedes the text. Bosse's treatise the first manual of copperplate etching and engraving and the printing of intaglio plates was first published in French in 1645. It was aimed both at the professional engraver and at the amateur and is extensively illustrated with detailed engravings based on Bosse's own designs. A second edition of 1701 had contained revisions by LeClerc the third of 1745 those of the engraver Cochin. The Jombert edition added two new plates by Louis-Marin Bonnet the inventor of the Crayon manner of colour printing and a separate chapter on this method of colour printing. In addition to a wealth of technical information the work includes views of the engraving studio and the copperplate press. As adaptations were made to all subsequent editions the work has remained an important introduction to print-making which is of practical use to the printmaker even today.

1860rif. 147733Columbus: Follett Foster and Company 1860. First edition early issue of the most famous debates in American history which cemented Lincoln as a national presidential candidate. Octavo original cloth stamped in blind with rule above the publisher's imprint on the copyright page. In good condition darkening to the edges toning throughout some damp staining inscription to the rear pastedown. Running as a little-known candidate for the Illinois senatorship in 1858 Lincoln challenged incumbent and Democratic leader Stephen Douglas to a series of debates. The result was a memorable chain of lively arguments in front of cheering crowds. Though Lincoln lost the senatorial race “he began collecting a scrapbook of his best speeches particularly those from the just-concluded campaign against Douglas for possible inclusion in a book. Assiduously pasting newspaper accounts of the debates into the scrapbook Lincoln cast about for a publisher. Initial efforts failed mainly because Lincoln wanted the book printed in Springfield which had no local publishing or printing facilities. Eventually however the Columbus Ohio firm of Follett Foster & Company showed interest and he began preparing the first edition… Somewhat surprisingly for an attorney Lincoln did not seek Douglas’ permission to publish a book of their combined speeches although Douglas was later given the last-minute opportunity—he declined—to make corrections to his own remarks” Morris 121.
