Soft cover. Condizione: Near Fine. Reprinted with revisions from the 1979 first edition. 74 pp.Performance and position in 1985 Strong profitability: An April 1985 New York Times article reported that J.P. Morgan & Co. was outperforming its rivals. It was the most profitable of the nation's 15 largest bank holding companies for two consecutive quarters. Focus on commercial and investment banking: In June 1985, an executive told the New York Times that the bank was "adapting to a changing environment" and aimed to be a strong commercial and investment bank. This emphasis on non-consumer banking was a key factor in its high profitability. Embracing deregulation: The 1980s was a period of intense banking deregulation. J.P. Morgan & Co. was a vocal proponent of overturning the Glass-Steagall Act, which separated commercial and investment banking. The bank was beginning to test the limits of these regulations by expanding its securities and underwriting activities. Leadership change: In June 1985, Morgan Guaranty Trust announced it was shifting two key executives, though no reason was given. The changes included the promotion of David Band to head of funding services.

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. First Edition. (no dust jacket) [good sound copy, internally clean, mildly shelfworn, light dust-soiling to top of text block, very light bumping to bottom corners]. Pseudonymous novel by Stephen Longstreet, set in the 1920s in a fictional Midwestern town, "Corinth." The plot centers around a romantic triangle that culminates in a scandalous double murder, and is set against the background of labor troubles. The author, in a note to the reader, explains that his purely-invented "Crime of the Century"-type situation "owes nothing to the real events [of the 1920s] except the pure frenzy, the emotion with which we took such things in those days." Longstreet, who began his professional life as an artist, began writing for radio in 1933 and went on to a multi-faceted career as a novelist, playwright, screenwriter, art critic, lecturer, journalist, and jazz historian. He wrote dozens of books (one source says "over 100," but honestly, I haven't counted), both fiction and nonfiction, and employed as many as a half-dozen pseudonyms. His best-known screenwriting credit was probably for THE JOLSON STORY (1946), and he also co-wrote the book for the 1947 Broadway musical "High Button Shoes," adapted from his own semi-autobiographical novel, "The Sisters Liked Them Handsome." ("Thomas Burton" appearse to have been Longstreet's "serious fiction set in the 1920s Midwest" pseudonym, as the only other book for which he used it was the 1941 novel "Bloodbird," which dealt with the conflict between farmers and industrialists over the building of a hydroelectric dam.).

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a collection of poems written by students at the University of Virginia from 1856 to 1892. The poems explore a range of themes, including love, loss, nature, and the human condition. They provide a unique glimpse into the lives and thoughts of young men during a turbulent period in American history. Through the intricate rhyme schemes and lyrical language characteristic of the era, common human emotions and experiences are captured and given new life. They are framed by the rich traditions and history of the American South, which has fostered a unique literary aesthetic. From the musings of lost love to the jubilance of nature, they encapsulate and celebrate youth, nature's beauty, and the human experience. Their reflections on the human condition and the melancholy undercurrent that pervades the collection offer insights that continue to resonate with readers today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Early reprint ("Fifteenth Thousand" as stated upon title page; first published 1851). 370 pages. Hardcover: H 19.5cm x L 13.25cm. Contemporary brown cloth; several black ink stains to boards and slightly sunned spine; bumping and slight wear at spine ends and board corners. Strong toning to pastedowns; three antiquarian ink inscriptions Port Gibson, Mississippi resident Samuel Briscoe, Esq. on front free endpaper with yet another on front flyleaf with those having some carry-through impressions onto successive title and Preface leaves; varied foxing (occasionally quite strong) throughout; several ink blots/stains obscuring some text on pages 119-120; top corners of pages 129-130 and 341-342 creased from past fold-down. Binding is firm. Preface by editor James Young who, as the title page notes, served as Grand Worthy Patriarch of the Grand Division of the Sons of Temperance in Kentucky. Features seventeen essays by various contributors including the renowned Dr. Daniel Drake of Cincinnati, and Methodist Episcopal Church theologian Reverend Thomas O. Summers. The book also has three notable Mississippi contributors: Reverend A.B. Longstreet of Oxford, twice president of University of Mississippi ("The Voice of Warning" - pages 41-60); Rev. William Winans of Woodville ("An O'er True Tale" - pages 113-118); and Rev. Philip P. Neely [Philip Phillips Neely] of Columbus ("Idella Pemberton, of the Prayer of Faith" - pages 291-298). As for the enthusiastic owner, a cemetery reference site notes a Samuel M. Briscoe (1849-1894) of Claiborne County, Mississippi and, although obviously only age 5 upon this book's publication, the penmanship and ink is certainly contemporary to 1850s-1870s.
