Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. Fine condition faux red leather boards with elaborately illustrated gold front cover perimeter and spine decorations, gold front cover lettering, and gold spine lettering over a black block border. Includes Editor's Comment and Acknowledgments. Major chapter headings are as follows: Wisdom; Benjamin Franklin; History; Beauty and Business. "Sometimes it seems almost futile to try to write anything new because it has all been said before - and so well said. Of course, any such defeatism must lead to a dead end of accomplishment in terms of literary effort. Fortunately for the living and those to come, there are many bright new stars on the panel of contemporary writers. They are skillfully telling the story of these eventful days and their words will be read with relish by future generations. In fact, the printed word today is so prolific, and the competition with the book, the magazine and the newspaper is so great, future generations will require anthologies in great number to know what our bright literary stars have said. In this anthology there has bee no effort to be erudite, consistent, unusual or educational. The prime purpose is to amuse by exposing the reader to many things he has read before and may wish to read again. Perhaps that poem he [or she] HAD to learn, to pass freshman English, is here. He may even enjoy rereading it under different auspices. It is not possible to include only those things that appeal to him. If he dislikes poetry in any form, we hope he will please forgive us. Some of us like the "well-turned couplet." On the other hand, there are those who love Shakespeare, but just cannot understand how his hallowed words should appear with some of the more commonplace choices that have arrived in this selection. It takes all kinds you know - and we have tried to select all kinds of literature." - excerpt from Editor's Comment.

Soft cover. Condizione: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine; see scans and description. Chicago: Atomic Scientists of Chicago, 1948. The August, 1948 issue of The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists. The famous and historic Doomsday Clock - shown on each cover since 1947, two years after the publication's inception - here shows the time to be eight minutes of midnight as of mid-1948. Quarto, illustrated staple-bound wraps, 32 pp. (pages 225 through 256 for the annual volume, pages then being numbered after the fashion of the time). Fine; no flaws. Even the inevitable page paper toning is almost nonexistent. A handsome example; see all scans. Established in 1945 by biophysicist Eugene Rabinowitch and physicist Hyman Goldsmith in response to a correctly-perceived demand for nuclear information at the time by the general public, The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is without doubt the most historically significant non-technical publication on the subject of "'global security and public policy issues related to the dangers posed by nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction, climate change,[2] and emerging technologies and diseases". Hence, over the years, BAS has become a geopolitical instrument, rather than a nuclear watchdog alone. Feature articles in this vintage 1948 issue: Edward U. Condon Cleared by Atomic Energy Commission; AEC Medical Program (Isotopes Symposium); Joyce Clennam Stearns; British Scientists on International Atomic Control; Atomic Power Prospects; Atomic Peace with Russia?: United Nations & Atomic Energy News; On the Application of Intelligence to World Affairs; Middle-Run International Planning. More, of course; see scan of contents. Contributors include William T. R. Fox; Shields Warren; Arthur Holly Compton (discoverer of The Compton Effect); Henry L. Stimson; M. H. L. Pryce; Philip Quincy Wright; Peter Kihss; and the editors. Very, very scarce as the original monthly softcover issue. Ships in a new, sturdy, protective box - not a bag. LPR30.

First Edition. A Library of the English Stage in Four Volumes - A Regency Theater in Miniature The London Stage - From Garrick to Sheridan, Printed from Acting Copies LONDON STAGE. The London Stage; A collection of the most reputed tragedies, comedies, operas, melo-dramas, farces and interludes. Accurately printed from acting copies, as performed at the Theatres Royal, and carefully collated and revised. London: Sherwood, Jones and Co., [1825-27]. First edition. Four octavo volumes (8 1/2 x 5 3/8 inches; 216 x 137 mm.). Each volume with title-page printed in black and pale blue, a multi-portrait engraved frontispiece, and an early manuscript "index" leaf. Profusely illustrated throughout, each play with a woodcut vignette by Byfield, Dodd, Williamson, and others. Six of the woodcuts are by George Cruikshank, viz. "Dragon of Wantley," "Tom Thumb," and "The Lord of the Manor" in the second volume, and "Monsieur Tonson," "Crononhotonthologos," and "The Recruiting Sergeant" in the third volume. That to the "Lord of the Manor" is the only one signed, but I have them all signed by the artist in ink." (Cohn #507 p. 150). ** In the present copy, the woodcuts by George Cruikshank are in volume IV. Bound ca. 1825 in full dark blue diced calf. Covers bordered in gilt, spines with five shallow raised bands, decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments, marbled endpapers. Each volume with the ink name "Fiske" on a front blank leaf, volume one with a neat ink inscription "Jane Martha Hicks Beach/August 7th 1827". Some rubbing to joints, but still a sound and attractive contemporary set. Housed in an early blue cloth slipcase. Each volume with the armorial bookplate of the Dyne family on the front paste-down, depicting three goats and a bird on a fess, with a crest of a bearded figure in a checkered cap and the motto "Terrere nolo timere nescio" ("I do not wish to terrify; I do not know how to fear"). A substantial and highly engaging anthology of the English stage at the close of the Regency period, The London Stage gathers together a remarkably broad dramatic canon, drawn "from acting copies" as performed at the Theatres Royal. The importance of this claim cannot be overstated: these texts reflect theatrical practice-cuts, adaptations, and stage-ready dialogue - rather than purely literary versions, offering a rare and practical insight into early nineteenth-century performance culture. The collection encompasses works by many of the principal dramatists of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, including William Congreve, George Farquhar, John Gay, Henry Fielding, Oliver Goldsmith, Richard Brinsley Sheridan, and Samuel Foote, alongside important theatrical figures such as David Garrick and John Philip Kemble. The range extends from Restoration comedy through sentimental drama and ballad opera to late Georgian melodrama, with additional contributions by Susanna Centlivre, Hannah Cowley, Thomas Holcroft, Matthew Gregory Lewis, and Elizabeth Inchbald, among many others. In effect, the work functions as a compact theatrical library, bringing together over a century of dramatic literature as it lived in performance rather than on the printed page. The inclusion of multi-portrait frontispieces further situates the work within the living theater of its day, celebrating the actors and personalities who defined the London stage. The manuscript index leaves - clearly the work of an early owner - suggest active consultation and practical use, perhaps by a reader engaged in recitation, amateur theatricals, or dramatic study. Sets preserved in contemporary diced calf are increasingly scarce, particularly when retaining their original structure and accompanied by early provenance. The Dyne armorial bookplates lend the present set an added note of distinction and continuity, enhancing both its aesthetic appeal and historical resonance. A handsome and evocative survival-at once a working theatrical compendium and a remarkably complete snapshot of the English stage in its Regency prime. Cohn 507.
