Frontispiece, xx, 472 pp; 215 numbered text figures (I don't know why the title page says 241); 16 plates, each with a facing descriptive text printed on thin paper (like tissue guard paper). Original cloth. Small amount of bubbling in cloth of front cover. Very Good. This copy does NOT have any library markings. First American edition (also published in London in 1907 by John Murray). Quoting from the obituary of Spitta in Nature (Vol. 106, 1921, pp. 700 701): "By the death of MR. EDMUND J. SPITTA on January 21, at sixty-eight years of age, microscopical science has lost another earnest student and exponent. While in general medical practice for many years, Mr.Spitta found time to contribute to more than one branch of microscopy, and his retirement to Hove several years ago enabled him to devote the remaining years of his life to the subject. He took an active part in the proceedings of the Quekett Microscopical Club, of which he was, a past-president, and of the Royal Microscopical Society, of which, as well as of the Royal Astronomical Society, he was a past vice-president. Mr. Spitta made some contributions to the subject of pond life, but it was particularly photomicrography and the optics of the microscope to which he directed his energies. So far back as 1898 he published, in collaboration with Mr. Charles Slater, an 'Atlas of Bacteriology' containing more than a hundred plates of photomicrographs of bacteria. More recently he brought put his 'Photomicrography,' and many of his photomicrographs of diatoms are of great excellence. His book on 'Microscopy,' [first edition offered here] the third edition of which was published last year, is a general treatise on the construction, optics, and use of the microscope. To the Royal Microscopical Society Mr. Spitta contributed in 1911 a note on Winkel lenses and oculars and a report on the value of some Gray son's rulings, the latter entailing a considerable amount of work, and in 1913 he reported on a collection of lenses and other optical apparatus made by Joseph Jackson Lister, the father of Lord Lister, and presented to the Royal Microscopical Society on the death of the latter." Gilbert Hartley writes about his favorite books in microscopy, one of which was Spitta: "My second book was Spitta, combining the proper handling of the substage and the mechanical evolution of the instrument from the long-bodied English stand to the short Continental type. The photomicrographs guarantee the integrity of the work, and form a test for the rest of us, who can now use flash instead of exposures measured sometimes in hours, and tungsten-halogen instead of the limes and bottled gases alarmingly described in his work on photomicrography. Spitta may be recognised as the microscopist's Bible: time has added techniques, but the foundation is bedrock" (Gilbert Hartley, "A Dozen Favourite Books on Microscopy", Quekett Journal of Microscopy, Vol. 40, 2005, pp. 39 40; this brief and entertaining article can be read online for free).…

"The present work, which is the result of the third, or Northampton Excersion.is more limited in its scope, but more complete in execution in regard to the matter of which it treats. It deals chiefly with a single portion of a Church - namely, its main interior wall and arches. It presents, however, with scarcely an exception, the Ground-story of the Nave of the whole of the Churches visited during this excursion, together with, in each case, the whole of its ornamental detail. "As these illustrations are, with the exception of those of the carved work, all measured drawings, executed with much care and minuteness, and as they are arranged, as nearly as possible, in chronological order, they afford to the architectural student a valuable means of comparative study, by which important lessons may be learned, not only as to the construction and proportions of buildings in their main features, but as to the progress of Art through the several Periods to which they belong, in the ornamental details with which these main features were clothed, and notably so with repsect to those four chief members - the Pier-Arch, the Pier, and its Capital and Base, which in Church-building are such important elements of the design." - p. xiii.The bookplate belonged to Charles Grant Ellis (1920-2006), b. Sagamore, Massachusetts; d. Punta Gorda, Florida. He was a collector of antique rugs, wrote several books on the subject, and owned one of the finest collections in the United States. During WWII he served in the Army 700th Corp of Engineers working on the Burma Road. After the war he completed his degree in Civil Engineering, and became an avid collector of antique books on architecture.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Lot of 40 titles from the Arno / New York Times Series The American Negro, His History and his literature. HEAVY Package - pickup can be arranged at our public storefront in downtown Manhattan. All told, the volumes are clean and well kept. From the home of a well regarded historian of Black studies. Also was a tobacco smoker, and that combined with age has led to occasional toning / darkening of the tan cloth part of these hardcover volumes - though without any consistency, it is present to some degree on nearly all. Faint odor as well, especially for those of sensitive nose, though to this seller it is not egregious. Besides that, the condition is pretty solid on all. Binding are all quite strong, sturdy, tight , square. No markings were found in any of the books, and no other damage to interiors at all. One volume has some fraying to the edge of the cloth of the front, and some of the volumes have lesser or greater degrees of rubbing, scuffing, dustsoiling, but all told clean beyond the toning. Uncommon to find so many in one place. Shipping will be extra ! pickup available in NYC.
