1915réf. 5685Ensley Alabama: The Church; Printed by Garrison Printer 1915. Octavo 21 x 13.5 cm. 89 i pages. Advertisements. Index and “Index of advertisements.” Date of publication estimated from external evidence. Evident FIRST EDITION. A church cookbook from a once independent municipality at the moment of its absorption into greater Birmingham. Nearly three hundred recipes some of them attributed; including: English Currant Bread Poached Eggs with Creamed Celery Fried Okra with Onions Artichoke à la Barigoile i.e. Barigoule Creamed Parsnips Cherry Salad Savory Custard Prune Trifle Chelee Sauce Rhubarb Relish Scuppernong Wine Coffee Jelly Watermelon Preserves. ~ Located at the southern edge of the Pratt Coal Seam Ensley was a planned industrial city built on land acquired by Enoch Ensley 1832-1891 to provide housing as well as communal and commercial infrastructure for workers employed in the coal and iron ore mines of the Tennessee Coal Iron & Railroad Company. Residents’ experience in self-governance was short: the city was incorporated in February 1899 but annexed by Birmingham on the first day of 1910. Opposition to the takeover was vigorous – a mock funeral was held and a tombstone laid to commemorate the “euthanized” city – such that the persistence of the community’s independent identity works against clarity regarding the appearance of the St. John’s Cook Book. Advertisements for two theaters equipped to exhibit silent films place the range of dates across the annexation divide: both – that for the Belle Theatre on page 2 and that for the Franklin Theatre on page 28 – announce adherence to guidelines set forth by the National Board of Censorship a name for what became the National Review Board in use only between late 1909 and 1915. ~ The history of Episcopalians in Alabama cannot be separated from the history of advocacy for slavery nor from the influential tenure of the Confederate episcopate of Richard Hooker Wilmer 1816-1900 an ardent proponent of secession. Unlike Methodists Baptists and Presbyterians Episcopalians did not divide over issues surrounding abolition. While their numbers declined in the later nineteenth century – Wilmer though under house arrest for demonstrations of hostility against the United States president was still permitted to serve as bishop – they retained the loyalty of landholders and industrialists. Thus the upper echelons of Ensley grew sufficiently to merit the establishment of a parish which was admitted into the Diocese in 1898 just before formal incorporation of the city. Images of the church for which funds were raised by the Ladies of St. John’s are not listed among the archival holdings now deposited at the Birmingham Public Library. The brick complex that stands at the site today on Ensley West Avenue was built in 1951. The parish having dissolved in 2000 this building was listed for sale in 2016. ~ One abrasion along fore-edge of text block. Stapled in publisher’s green wrappers titled in black over brown cloth.

réf. 10071Headed Smithsonian Institution United States National Museum Washington DC 12 Feb. 1907. Two pages 4to fold mark good cvondition saying: ". It is true that I was misled by a paragraph in the N.Y. Times into the supposition that Mrs. Pennell whose literary work I have greatly enjoyed was the same as the author of the powerful and thrilling story of the 'Magnetic North'; but Mr. Gilder put me right after I had posted the little article which on account of its subject I had presumed to hope might have some interest for you. Conditions have changed so in the Yukon country since my sojourn there that I might well look to you for an introduction to the new Yukon world - and it makes me feel extraordinarily ancient to realize the changes which the years have brought. For your share in helping toward a knowledge of them and lending the torch of your genius to make them not only visible but real to your readers we are all in your debt and I beg you will accept my thanks and congratulations as one of the many who appreciate it." Dall is referring to such works by Robins Mrs Parks as "The Alaska Klondike Diary of Elizabeth Robins" and "The Magnetic North".

C. Handy and by extension it is often said the birthplace of the Blues. The seat of Lauderdale County the city and the surrounding region had become prosperous through its abundant access to water power early in the nineteenth century. Though not the first Episcopalian congregation established in Alabama – Anglicans had already settled in Mobile and Tuscaloosa – Trinity Church founded in 1836 and still an active community lays claim to the title of oldest parish in the Tennessee Valley. ~ Several pages splash-stained but text unobscured throughout.

1891réf. 5749Philadelphia: P. Blakiston Son & Co 1891. Octavo 24 x 15 cm. viii 9-100 pages. Charts and one illustration. First American Edition and first of this English translation. Originally published Vienna 1886 as Ueber die Wirkung des karlsbader Thermalwassers. Carlsbad Sprudel Salt was the evaporated form of water from the Karlovy Vary or Karlsbad Spa where "taking the waters" had been a cure for centuries and to which the European elite flocked for cures and rest. This work is a translation and expansion of "The increasing interest manifested in this country in natural mineral waters and in products derived therefrom coupled with the almost total lack of really scientific research in this branch of medicine have been the incentives that have led to the translation of this work from the German of the renowned balneologist Dr. Walery Jaworski a professor of medicine at Poland's Jagiellonian University Medical College. "As the Carlsbad Thermal Waters have for over 200 years held such a prominent place in the treatment of disease in Europe and as American physicians are becoming more and more impressed with the importance of making themselves familiar with the therapeutic values of these as well as other mineral springs a systematic and scientific treatise together with carefully tabulated experiments must of necessity prove acceptable" from the preface by translator Albert Toboldt. The illustration depicted in the text and duplicated on the front board is of a patient being administered the powdered sulfur waters. In publisher's pebbled green buckram with a blind-stamped and gilt-decorated front panel. Previous owner's name "Thomas G. Allen" to preliminary blank. Very near fine. OCLC locates twenty copies. P.
