The cover illustration frontispiece and all but two of the full-page engravings are attributed to Chandler and Duran.

It is in 52 four-line stanzas numbered in Roman numerals and begins: 'Once on a time by the side of a wood Dwelt a populous burrow of Rabbits Happy contented moral and good - A people of excellent habits.'

ref. 6932Boston: Printed by William S. Damrell 11 Cornhill. 1844. 8vo: 24 pp. Unbound and stitched. With printed grey front wrap rear wrap missing inscribed to 'Sir E. F. Bromhead Bassingham Lincolnshire from the author <T Wayland>'. On aged paper grubby at extremities and a little dogeared but tight and with text clear and entire. 'The general fact has been long before the public that the several States in the Union are indebted to various individuals in Europe to the amount of about two hundred millions of dollars. At the time when this debt was incurred very few persons either in or out of the indebted States gave themselves any trouble about it. Cities on paper were growing up in the depths of the trackless forest or emerging from the centre of the undrained swamp. The circulating medium expanded almost without limit certainly without forethought was hourly extending the means for farther investment. Nobody seemed to have observed that the real values in the country were precisely the same as they had been and that the only change which had really been effected consisted in the increased number of bits of handsomely engraved paper.' A significant copy of a scarce anonymous item with the author revealing his identity in the ownership inscription. No copy in the British Library or on COPAC. Worldcat confuses this with a work by Benjamin Robbins Curtis of the same title in the North American Review 1844. The only copy it lists of this work is at Brown University Library. See Image.

1885ref. 42031Philadelphia: W.H. Butler n.d. ca 1885. 1885. TRADE CATALOG. 5 11/16" x 12 3/4" color sheet folded to 6 panels. Illustrations. Among the successful shoe-machines invented by the Globe Buffer company was the “Globe Buffer” a machine for “buffing” or sandpapering the bottoms of boots and shoes. The first “ Globe Buffer" was set up in November 1881. The company also manufactured the “Globe Heel Scourer” for smoothing or scouring the edges of heels of boots and shoes. The company also introduced the "Globe Insole" an invention the promised to replace the flexible leather that was currently in vogue for insoles to shoes. It was invented and patented by Mr. George A. Fullerton and consists of a substance very similar to leather but which is stronger and much more flexible. To test the merits the shoes thousands of pairs were produced and worn and in not a single pair of them did a stitch give out. The material for the insoles is stronger than any leather of the same thickness. It is preserved while leather is destroyed by perspiration. The edges are smooth which prevents them from cutting the stitches. Shoes made of it will not squeak. The brochure offers one cover panel showing 2 cherubs one holding a woman's boot and the other the "Globe Flexible Insole; one panel offering the company's guarantee; and one panel offering information about their insoles. "Remember that the INSOLE is the foundation of the shoe and that Glove Flexible Insole" is superior in every particular to leather or any other known substance. That the stitches and tacks are all beneath the surface thus contributing a smooth soft cushion." Opposite 3 panels offers a beautiful color sailing scene showing a yacht race and with "Compliments of the Globe Buffer co. only Manufacturers of Globe Flexible Insoles at the bottom of one panel. One panel has been separated and neatly reattached using cellophane tape. W.H. Butler, n.d. [ca 1885]. hardcover
1977ref. 812j1280USA: Columbia Pictures Publications. Poor. 1977. First Edition. Paperback. Songbook for Boston's smash-hit debut album "released by Epic in August 1976. It broke sales records becoming the best-selling debut LP in the US at the time and winning the Recording Industry of America RIAA Century Award for the best-selling debut album. PLEASE NOTE: The binding is letting go and the first several pages are loose but present. Rather than adding a new binding we have opted to preserve this Boston memento in its original state as this incredible album was and remains such a massive and beloved musical influence and memory for so many. The album's singles "More Than a Feeling" "Peace of Mind" and "Foreplay/Long Time" were major hits and nearly the entire album receives constant airplay on classic rock radio. The album is often regarded as a staple of 1970s rock and has been included on many lists of essential albums. It has sold at least 17 million copies in the United States alone and at least 20 million worldwide making it one of the best-selling debut albums of all time." - Wikipedia.
