Cheesman, Major R. E IN UNKNOWN ARABIA
London Macmillan & Co. 1926 First Edition Hardcover Near Fine
8vo; xx, 433 pages; Original green cloth binding with gilt lettering at spine and gilt stamped figure of an Arab astride a camel on front cover. Top edges gilt. With 66 black and white illustrations, 2 plans and a large coloured folding map. Very small closed tear at lower corner of spine (1/8"), otherwise a very nice bright, clean, tight copy of this scarce Middle Eastern travel book. Cheesman, a British ornithologist and explorer, served as Private Secretary to Sir Percy Cox, then High Commissioner in Iraq. Cheesman, a corresponding member of the Zoological Society of London undertook this expedition into unexplored tracts of Eastern Arabia in pursuit of zoological knowledge. In 1921, Cheesman mapped the Arabian coast from Uqair to the head of the Gulf of Salwa. In this account he gives intimate glimpses at Ibn Saud. Cheesman started his journey from Bahrain to Uqair, Salwa, Hufuf and Jabrin. Having fixed its position he then mapped 150 miles of desert, identified the site of the ancient Gerra, and corrected some serious mistakes about the wadi system. He also made archaeological discoveries on his two visits to the Salwa Bight, which showed the site of the Gerra emporium in the immediate vicinity of the port of Oqair and not at the head of Salwa Bay as was formerly supposed. The Royal Geographical Society gave him the Gill Memorial Award for this journey which he describes here.

Choh Hao Li ; [ Dr. Julius Axelrod ] HORMONAL PROTEINS AND PEPTIDES Volume XIII: Corticotropin (ACTH)
Orlando Academic Press 1987 0124472133 First Edition Hardcover Fine
8vo ; Blindstamp of Dr. Julius Axelrod on half-title. Includes article by Axelrod on Regulation of ACTH Secretion and Synthesis. From the collection of Dr. Julius Axelrod, a Nobel Prize-winning scientist and specialist in neurochemistry and psychopharmacology who helped to discover how chemicals released by nerve cells in the brain regulate mood and behavior. In the 1940's, Dr. Axelrod played a major role in identifying acetaminophen, the substance later developed and marketed as Tylenol. In 1970 Dr. Axelrod shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with two other scientists, Dr. Bernard Katz of Britain and Prof. Ulf von Euler of Sweden. Axelrod recognized early on that discoveries about the role and functioning of neurotransmitters would significantly alter the treatment of depression, anxiety and other psychiatric disorders. Their work led directly to the development ofselective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs such as Prozac and Zoloft). During his lengthy research career, he greatly advanced our understanding of the biochemical basis of human behaviour and his contributions to pharmacology were extraordinary.

Clayton, Virginia Tuttle & Elizabeth Stillinger & Erika Doss & Deborah Chotner DRAWING ON AMERICA'S PAST Folk Art, Modernism, and the Index of American Design
Chapel Hill The University of North Carolina Press 2003 0807827940 Hardcover Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket
4to 11" - 13" tall; 256 pages; This beautifully illustrated book commemorates the sixtieth anniversary of the National Gallery of Art's acquisition of the Index of American Design. Widely regarded as one of the New Deal's most important art projects, the Index began in 1935 as a unit of the Works Progress Administration's Federal Art Project. Its aim was to compile and eventually publish a visual archive of American folk, popular, and decorative art from the time of settlement to about 1900. The approximately 1,000 artists involved in the project created more than 18,000 meticulous watercolor portraits of Americana. The book presents 82 of the finest watercolor renderings along with a selection of the artifacts they represent. The original objects range from quilts, weather vanes, and hand-carved toys to carousel animals, stoneware, and cigar-store figures. Three essays explore the history, operation, and ambitions of the Index of American Design, examine folk-art collecting in America during the early decades of the twentieth century, and consider the Index's role in the search for a national cultural identity in the early twentieth-century United States. Drawing on America's Past is the companion publication to an exhibition that runs at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., from 27 November 2002 through 2 March 2003.

Cobb, Irvin S. On an Island That Cost $24.00
New York George H. Doran Company 1926 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Near Fine in Good dust jacket
8vo ; 347 pages; Publisher's blue ribbed cloth, lettered in gilt on the spine and in blind on the front cover which also has a pictorial pattern depicting a Manhattan street vista stamped in blind. The title, of course, refers to Manhattan island, and its alleged original purchase price by the Dutch from its native seasonal occupants. Stories of New York life by the writer and humorist Irvin S. Cobb. While Cobb was born in Paducah, Kentucky, and won national fame for his Judge Priest stories, he moved to New York in 1904 to work as a journalist. Early success earned him a job offer from Joseph Pulitzer's New York World that made him the highest-paid staff reporter in the United States. One of the ten stories here earned this late book from Cobb a citation in Bleiler - [Bleiler, The Guide to Supernatural Fiction 386; for 'The Unbroken Chain' pp. 49-82]. A spendid copy, the book is nearly fine, having been preserved in a very chipped and worn, but still integral, pictorial dust jacket. Large chips missing from the bottom gutter-corners of both panels and the bottom of the spine, edge wear and shallow chipping along the top and bottom edges, and a closed split extending half-way down the gutter between the front panel and the spine.

Cody, Sherwin HOW TO WRITE FICTION, ESPECIALLY THE ART OF SHORT STORY WRITING A Practical Study of Technique
London Bellairs and Co. 1895 Blue Cloth Very Good Signed by Author
Autograph; 8vo ; 190 pages; Clean and tight in publisher's blue cloth binding with gilt lettering at spine and front board. Gilt lettering a bit faded at spine. This appears to be the dedication copy of what some critics refer to as the first "how-to" book advising the would-be writer on how to write fiction. Preceding half-title, on a blank leaf, is a remarkable inscription SIGNED BY the author to Prof. John F. Genung "who at the expense of much pain and trouble laid the foundation of my knowledge of rhetoric, this textbook on a new branch of rhetoric is dedicated by the author, Sherwin Cody London, Mar 12, 1895" Alpheus Sherwin Cody (1868-1959) was an American writer and entrepreneur who developed a home-study course in speaking and writing and a memorable signature series of advertisements asking “Do You Make These Mistakes in English?” A critic of traditional English education, Cody advocated colloquial style and grammar. This was one of his earliest works. First British edition - in effect, this is the dedication copy. The recipient of the author's gracious hand-written dedication was a well-known professor at Amherst College (where Sherwin Cody studied) - John Franklin Genung, born in Willseyville, N. Y., Jan. 27, 1850; was graduated at Union College in 1870 and at the Rochester Theological Seminary in 1875; became Professor of Rhetoric in Amherst College. His publications include "Tennyson's 'In Memoriam,' Its Purposes and Its Structure"; "Practical Elements of Rhetoric"; "Handbook of Rhetorical Analysis"; "Outlines of Rhetoric"; "Study of Rhetoric in the College Course"; "Words of Koheleth" (1904) "The Idylls and the Ages" (1907) ; "Guide Book to Biblical Literature" (1916). He died in 1919. As to Sherwin Cody, we must reluctantly point out that his own attempt to practice what he preached was less than ideally successful. In 1896, his novel 'In the Heart of the Hills' - (London: J. M. Dent) - was not a sales success. Cody then moved to Chicago where he worked for the Chicago Tribune. In that city, correspondence education was being pioneered at the University of Chicago, and Sherwin Cody was assigned to writing a home study course English for the Tribune. In 1903 Cody produced a version of his course in pocket-sized book form as 'The Art of Writing and Speaking the English Language' which he advertised in the business magazine The System (and elsewhere). A half-century long career was then launched. [See the 2008 book: Edwin Battistella, "Do You Make These Mistakes in English? The Story of Sherwin Cody’s Famous School," Oxford University Press]. This handsome British edition of Cody's ground breaking "How to Write Fiction" was apparently preceded by a shorter version of the text, reproduced from the author's typescript - ["How to write fiction : especially the art of short story writing : a practical course of instruction after the French method of Maupassant." New York : The Riverside Literary Bureau, Charles T. Dillingham & Co., ©1894]. The OCLC entry for this rather different New York publication states that it was published in an edition of one hundred numbered copies in facsimile from original manuscript, (i.e. "typescript" as the entry later makes clear). One source suggests that Cody and Charles Dillingham offered this typescript facsimile edition at a staggering price of $10. Not surprisingly, it is now rare. [The author's own copy is preserved in Amherst College Archives and Special Collections . Their copy is no. 100, in original half red leather post binder (front cover detached); with author’s ms. exlibris]. The British (expanded) edition of 1895 is a proper clothbound book, handsome in the manner of many 1890's books. Just the sort of thing a budding author might be proud to present to a favorite professor and mentor. ; Signed by Author

Coleridge, Mary The Collected Poems of Mary Coleridge Edited with an Introduction by Theresa Whistler
London Rupert Hart-Davis 1954 First Edition Thus; First Printing Hardcover Very Good+ in Very Good dust jacket
8vo ; 266 pages; Publisher's blue-grey cloth, spine with a dark red panel lettered in gilt, top edges decoratively stained blue-grey. A nice, crisp copy, with a narrow strip across the bottom of the binding showing a bit of toning. The dust jacket is very nice with two tiny chips missing at the head of the spine, the rear panel and rear flap display a touch of diffuse foxing, and the front panel has the price clipped from the lower corner. The author died in 1907 at age 45. She was known as a novelist, having published five novels, the best known of those being "The King with Two Faces." These were published under her own name, but, when it came to the matter of poetry, she feared the idea of "tarnishing the name which an ancestor had made illustrious in English poetry." She did allow two slender volumes to be privately issued by the Daniel Press - under the name Anodos (taken from George MacDonald). A few months after she died, her friend, Henry Newbolt, selected and edited the first collected edition of Mary Coleridge's poems. The present handsome edition from 1954, was edited by Henry Newbolt's granddaughter, Theresa Whister, who added thirty poems and a biographical introduction. Mary Coleridge was the great-grandniece of Samuel Taylor Coleridge and the great niece of Sara Coleridge, the author of "Phantasmion" - [1837].
