Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

A perfectly serviceable set of a dozen (12) reference copies from a leader publisher of science and education in the mid-late 19th century and thenceforward; nothing fancy, but complete and sturdy in sum. Bound attractively in marbled paper over boards in octavo hardcover format, creamy brown leather over tips and spines, some darkening thereto, gilt titles and authors and publisher's name to spines. Some rubbings to extremities, scuffings to tips, light crackings to joints, to front hinge of one volume, some chipping to spine heads and tails, else still quite sturdy, and some feel as if they've never been opened. Not ex-library, no underlining or highlighting apparent. All top edges gilt, plentiful unexploded fore-edges up front and at rear. Lightly, uniformed toned interiors, clean and still fairly bright. Notes, bibliographies and indexes to most, quite extensive and learned. Editions not stated except in case of a stated Second Edition, revised, and thus presumed First Edition states to the remainder though not so stated. The set is comprised of: William Dwight Whitney, The Life and Growth of Language: an outline of linguistic science (1896, [3] 4-325 pp.); Joseph Le Conte, Evolution: its nature, its evidences, and its relation to religious thought (Second Edition, revised, 1895, xxii [1], 4-382 pp., with cracked front hinge); Oscar Schmidt, The Doctrine of Descent and Darwinism (1896, [3], 4-334 pp.); H. Alleyne Nicholson, The Ancient Life History of the Earth (1895, xviii [1], 2-406 pp.); Richard A. Proctor, Other Worlds Than Ours (1896, [5], 6-334 pp., with fine front illustration, tissue-protected); Robert Hubert Quick, Essays on Education Reformers (1896, xxxiv [1], 2-568 pp.); G. Frederick Wright, Man the Glacial Period (1896, xxxii [1], 2-385 pp., and complete with map at frontis of the glacial period in the British Isles); C.A. Young, The Sun (1895, xii [1], 2-363 pp., and with illustration at frontis, tissue-protected); Henry Maudsley, Responsibility in Mental Disease (1896, x [1], 2-313 pp., with chipped page edges up front, penciled notes at first free endpaper); F.V.N. Painter, History of Education (1895, xix [1], 2-343 pp.); Philip Henry Gosse, Evenings at the Microscope; or, researches among the minuter organs and forms of animal life (1896, xii, 1-480 pp., considerable damp-staining beginning inside front flap, tide-lining throughout, leading to waffling, but not affecting text's readability); Alexander Bain, Education as a Science (1895, xxv [1], 2-453 pp.). D. Appleton & Company was an American publishing company founded by Daniel Appleton, who opened a general store which included books. He published his first book in 1831. The Wikipedia entry devoted to it noted that "The company's publications gradually extended over the entire field of literature. It issued the works of contemporary scientists at moderate prices, for example, Herbert Spencer, John Tyndall, Thomas Huxley, Charles Darwin, etc. Medical books formed a special department, and books in the Spanish language for the South American market were a specialty which the firm made its own. In belles lettres and American history, it had a strong list of names among its authors." All in, quite an attractive set of 12 volumes that look handsome on the shelf.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. Additional postage may be required for oversize or especially heavy volumes, and for sets.…

Descrizione dello Store

Member, I.O.B.A. (the Independent On-line Booksellers Association) "Structure" versus "Agency." A phrase that has characterized much social-scientific debate. Does “structure” (the routinized regulations of kinship and marriage, work and reproduction, of race, class and gender) determine history, or is it the “agency” of fully conscious, independently acting, individuals? Structure, Verses, Agency Books isn’t going to solve the debate, but we’ll offer you lots of all three. Versus to verses—we specialize in fine, rare and collectible books, from the fine arts to the social sciences, from poetry to photography, from literature and ethnography to fine bindings and Americana. Structure, Verses, Agency Books…
