1869réf. 43321Hartford: Printed by Clark & Booth 1869. 1869. First edition. Two 8 3/4" x 5 1/2" printed wrappers 4 pp. per each. A pair of uncommon 19th century pamphlets on an uncommon 19th century subject earth composting toilets. Although they’ve enjoyed a remarkable revival in our contemporary conservation-conscious society the obvious benefits of these environmentally-friendly devices was completely lost on the Victorian mind for whom it was too close to the familiar outhouse and to whom indoor plumbing held an insurmountable convenience and charm. And you know once it goes down the toilet and into the sewer and from thence into the river who cares Nonetheless a search of records does show several Victorian entrepreneurs who tried to make the idea commercially viable though without notable success. This pair of pamphlets consists of "The Management of Earth Closets Full Details. Important to Country Housekeepers Reprinted from the New York Evening Post" and "New Testimony in Favor of the Earth-Closet" both issued in 1869 by the Earth Closet Company of Hartford Connecticut. The first pamphlet gives full and extremely detailed details on the technicalities of earth closets their construction and use and the second consists of letters from happy earth-closet purchasers including several factories which saw their sewage bills dramatically decreased. Neither pamphlet is at all common "Management" has 3 OCLC locations AAS U.of Delaware Columbia U. and "New Testimony" has no OCLC locations at all. Some light edge wear small closed tears at a few creases else very good copies. Each printed on flimsy paper and somewhat delicate but quite nice. Printed by Clark & Booth, 1869. unknown

Inscription reads To Dear Seenae With admiration for your talent and gratitude for your effort to make this book possible. March 30 2008 Yong Ku. Born of wealthy parents but shunned by his father Yong Ku Ahn 1928-2013 suffered through a stormy and traumatic childhood and in his loneliness taught himself to play the violin. Born in 1928 in Wonsan in what is today North Korea Ahn's early childhood included parental rejection and a debilitating bout of polio that cut him off from his family and their social milieu. It was music and the violin in particular that saved him. After World War II Ahn began his professional education. He studied in Germany Austria and London with some of the greatest violin teachers of the 20th century fighting incredible obstacles all the time but he never gave up. In later years after teaching in the U.S. Yong Ku who joined the faculty at the esteemed Peabody Conservatory of Music not only become known internationally as a great teacher but went back to Korea to play an active role in the Korean reunification effort making several trips to North Korea. His fascinating and inspiring story of triumph over tragedy set against a backdrop of Korea's liberation from Japanese rule and the Korean War is told with great feeling and humility and will inspire young people especially young musicians of all nationalities. From a review found on-line: Yong Ku Ahn famed violinist and teacher of music tells of both the sad moments and happy joys of his life in heart-rendering terms. After years of rejection by his parents he reaches a peak experience one day which finally leads him to pick up his dusty old violin and begin to play again in earnest. He describes marvelously one of those snowy days in Wonsan Korea when he noticed an old gramophone at home and "out of curiosity opened the lid to the box. There was a record placed in it. I turned the crank on the side of the box and carefully put the needle arm on the record . Four notes sounded: "Ta ta ta taaah." Then once again "Ta ta ta taaah ." The majestic and passionate notes of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony pierced his heart like a sharp spear like fate knocking on the door. He writes "The four notes repeated themselves like the persistent unhappiness of my childhood. When the symphony ended uncontrollable tears flooded down my face. Over ten years of loneliness injustice disappointment and sorrow flowed from me as if a dam had burst open. It was a purely miraculous moment never to be recreated in my life: the moment when I realized that there existed a world of breathlessly beautiful sound outside of my cold and miserable existence of constant alienation." Never has the power of serious Western music been better described. How many of us have encountered such an experience on first discovering the beauty of classical music. Ahn went on to become a great violinist a pioneer in the introduction of music playing and appreciation in Korea. He describes his travels his love of chamber music his passionate involvement in the movement to unify Korea north with south. At present the names of his pupils are on marquees of concert halls all over the world. Now eighty-three years old he ruminates on the passing away of time philosophically accepting the loss of members of his "veteran music friends." He ends his memoirs with a heart-warming yet sad commentary on the human predicament. My Sorrows My joys is a delightful book to read by anyone who has felt the cleansing power of great music or the passion of dedication to a great enterprise swelling in his or her heart.

It won wide popularity on account of its clearness and elegance in the mode of treatment.

He was together with Leopold von Buch and Alexander von Humboldt one of the three great pupils of Werner Zittel pp. 143-144. Stamps and marks of previous owner. A very good copy.
