He first began a plow company in 1825 in Clarksville, Pennsylvania, selling the company to a brother after returning to Aurora after the death of his father. Along with a nephew, Daniel Humphrey Avery, he moved to Louisville, KY and began his new plow business in 1847. When Daniel moved on in 1850, the company was organized as B.F. Avery Plows. Operation was suspended during the Civil War, but reopened after the war as B.F. Avery & Sons, and now included his three sons. Benjamin Franklin Avery died in 1865, leaving the company to his sons and later family members. The first motorized machine for the company was the Louisville Motor Plow, a 20hp engine on a chassis with two plows mounted underneath, and was built from 1914-1917. In 1930, Avery began marketing tractors built for them by Huber Manufacturing of Marion, Ohio. Records indicate that 355 Huber tractors were delivered to Avery, mostly the Huber 20-36, and two Huber Light Four tractors. IN 1936, B.F. Avery developed a new tractor and approached Cleveland Tractor Co., or Cletrac, to manufacture it. Cletrac built the General GG three-wheeled tractor for B.F. Avery, and they were also sold by Massey-Harris and Montgomery Wards (Wards Twin-Row). Cletrac ceased building the General GG during World War II, and B.F. Avery acquired the equipment and began manufacturing it as the B.F. Avery A. During some lean years, B.F. Avery agreed to sell out to Minneapolis-Moline on January 8, 1951. Some of the B.F. Avery models continued in MM's lineup for a number of years, before the manufacturing facility in Louisville was closed for good in 1955. The factory was one of the largest factories in Louisville, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. In quite good condition. Paperback. In exceptionally good condition 3. Avery, B.

This 1910 edition is fairly rare and the few others for sale are not in very good condition. This one is in rather decent condition, particularly taking into account its age. You can see the covers in the photos. They are soft leather, I believe. There are quite clean. They do have brown toning off the edges and on the spine. There's also a small loss at the top edge of the spine, and two small tears at the bottom edge of the spine. The gilt lettering and design on the front is nicely bright. The inside covers and end papers are green. There is a sliver of loss at the front end papers bottom corner. There is a second blank rear end paper right before the green one. At the front it appears that the blank second front end paper was torn out, a little paper remains to the side of the juncture. There's also a space between the blank side of the green front end paper and the facing half-title page. It just comes up from the bottom edge 1 1/2 inches or so. The pages are solidly bound. I have turned over all of the pages in the book and they are all solidly bound, and nicely tight at their junctures. There is a little space off the bottom edge between pages 42-43 and 44-45, but it only comes up 1/4 of an inch. And there is a thin space at the juncture between the last page, 46, and it's facing blank first rear end paper. It comes up about 2 inches from the bottom edge, but both pages are very solidly bound from top to bottom. The covers are also nicely, tightly bound, no issues at the juncture between the inside covers and their end papers. All of the pages are exceptionally clean. I didn't see any soiling at all. I have provided a photograph of the frontispiece and title page. The pages are also in quite good condition. The middle page edge is deckled or rough-cut. They did a good job. There is one instance of a thin tear off the middle edge, not near the print. I saw a few other tiny tears far from the print. And there are a few tiny edge nicks. I didn't see any creasing. There are no markings. There are no attachments. And no one has written their name or anything else anywhere.

Secondary title page offers contrasting title with that of primary title - "Original Sacred Harp. Denson Revision. 1971 Edition. The best collection of sacred songs, hymns, odes and anthems, ever offered the singing public for general use." [8], 1-573, [13] pages. Oblong hardcover: H 18.25cm x L 25.75cm. No dust jacket. Brown boards lightly rubbed with a few scuffs; patch of white discoloration at front board's top center. Ink ownership inscription at front pastedown's top left; interior pages are otherwise clean. Binding is firm. Preface (page 1) by Sacred Harp Publishing Company, Inc.; "Music" essay (page 3), "Introduction and History of The Original Sacred Harp" by Sacred Harp Publishing Company, Inc. on pages 5-11, pages 12-25 feature "Rudiments of Music" essay by Paine Denson divided into eight very brief chapters and glossary; musical scores and lyrics on pages 26-573; unpaged leaves at rear feature "Index of First Lines" and "Index Original Sacred Harp." Fa-so-la or shape-note singing, a method of vocal instruction for choruses unaccompanied by instrumentation, arose from the Protestant Singing School movement during the early 1800s in New England but only became popular in the rural churches of Southern Appalachia where the tradition continues today in northern counties of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi. Although not the earliest among the hundred or so shape-note tune books published since the mid-19th century, THE SACRED HARP, compiled by Benjamin Franklin White (1800-1879) and Elisha J. King (ca. 1821-1844) and first published in 1844, is undoubtedly the most influential hymnal in the movement. As preferences of shape note choral groups evolved and diverged during the late 1800s and early 1900s, White's and King's original compilation was amended and altered with some frequency including the derivative ORIGINAL SACRED HARP published in Atlanta, Georgia in August 1911 by reviser Joseph S. James and his music editor Seaborn McDaniel Denson. In turn, the James hymnal led to the first Denson Revision collaborated upon by Thomas Jackson Denson and Paine Denson which was issued in 1936 with, per OCLC, four successive editions for 1960, 1967, 1971, and 1997.

A Very Good copy. This is the 1882 collection of Concord Lectures on Philosophy. It was part of a lyceum-like lecture series that was active from 1879-1888 at the Concord School of Philosophy, a philosophical school founded by Amos Bronson Alcott and other Transcendentalists. The 1882 lectures herein were collected and arranged by Raymond L. Bridgman, revised by several of the lecturers, and approved by the Concord School faculty. The 1882 lecture series was held over the course of twenty-four days. The lecturers for the 1882 series were Amos Bronson Alcott, Franklin Benjamin Sanborn, W. T. Harris, H. K. Jones, George H. Howison, John Albee, James McCosh, Julia Ward Howe, C. A. Bartol, Joel Benton, Martha P. Lowe, Alexander Wilder, Ednah D. Cheney, R. A. Holland, C. E. Garman, R. G. Hazard, Elizabeth P. Peabody, John Watson, and George P. Lathrop. The titles of the lectures are as follows: "Salutatory," "Poem," "Socrates and the Pre-Socratic Philosophy," "Present Aspects of Philosophy in Germany," "Poetry," "Aristotle's 'De Anima,'" "Scottish Philosophy," "Idols and Iconoclasts," "Address," "The Nature of Knowledge," "Ion: a Monody," "Emerson as a Poet," "Reminiscences of Emerson," "Dialectic Unity in Emerson's Prose," "A Visit to Emerson," "Poem,--'Consolation,'" "Emerson as a Philosopher," "Reminiscences of Emerson," "Relation between Common Sense and Philosophy," "Gnosticism and Neo-Platonism," "Relation between Science and Philosophy," "Hebrew, Greek, Persian and Christian Oracles," "Relation of Philosophy to Agnosticism and Religion," "Christian Mysticism: Bonaventura and Meister Eckhart," "Dr. Hickok's Philosophy," "Man as Creative Power," "Relation between Experience and Philosophy," "Practical Utility Metaphysical Pursuits," "The Ascending Scale of Powers," "Nature," "Philosophy of the Bhagavad Ghita," "Genesis of the 'Maya,'" "Historical Epochs of Art," "Childhood,"" Readings from Thoreau's Manuscript," "Oracles of New England," "Individualism," "Philosophy of Religion and the Law of the Supernatural," "Schelling's Relations to Kant and Fichte," "Landscape Painting--Turner," "Schelling's Early Treatises, Transcendental Idealism and Philosophy of IDentity," "Alexandrian Platonism," "Community of the Faiths and Worships of Mankind," "Immortality," "Symbolism of Color," "Fichte's 'Destination of Man,'" "Fichte's Wissenschaftslehre," "Schelling's Later Philosophy and Transition to Hegel," "The Symposium," "Atomism," "Fichte's Wissenshchaftslehre--Practical," and "Valedictory." The first meeting of the Concord School was held at the study of the Alcotts' family home, Orchard House in 1879. Many of the lectures featured reminiscences by Transcendentalists, including Ralph Waldo Emerson, and past Transcendentalist writings such as those by Henry David Thoreau. The Concord School gave its last meeting in 1888 with the passing the Amos Bronson Alcott.…
