From Mary Morgan Smith's review in LIBRARY JOURNAL: "What do you get when you combine the efforts of the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Abrams publishers, and the Assyrian Empire? An answer can be found in this wonderful new exhibit catalog filled with excellent color reproductions and a text that is both scholarly and readable. A chronology and list of kings help to keep track of people and events. Three chapters set up the history, civilization , and exploration of the Assyrian Empire; following chapters discuss and illustrate the art, dress, literature, government, religion, and war of that great civilization. Excellent photographs reproduce alabaster reliefs, ivory plaques, cylinder seals, and furniture with remarkable clarity. But this is more than a catalog of an art exhibit; it distills the Assyrian way of life for easy consumption. If you cannot get to New York, Ft. Worth, or London to see the traveling show, take a long look at this book; highly recommended." . First Edition. Oversize Softcover. Fine condition. 224pp.

Soft cover. Condizione: Very Good. Engravings (illustratore). First Edition. Boston:Ticknor & Fields, 1868. The January 4, 1868 issue (Vol. V, No. 105) of Every Saturday. 10 1/2" x 7", newsprint wraps, 32 pp. + 8 pp ads. Very Good; moderate edge wear (see scans), standard modest amount of age toning. Sturdy and supple. An extraordinarily scarce original wraps copy of Every Saturday, a literary journal which is found, when it is found, almost always as six-monthly hardbound aggregations. Every Saturday was the weekly offering of Fields & Osgood after Ticknor & Fields; each of which offered, in the publisher's words, "choice reading selected from current foreign literature" - i.e., usually reprints from similar overseas journals, generally English ones, but often as well from advance sheets, and even the reprints were often pre-publication of the novel from which they were taken. This issue includes the typical variety of topics; please see cover-listed contents on scan. Most Every Saturday entries were reprinted from foreign journals, and occasionally became the first American appearance of works of some famous (or to-become-famous) authors, such as Jules Verne and Charles Dickens. Herein, pre-publication, are the first two chapters of "Foul Play", by Charles Reade and Dion Boucicault; also pre-publication, the first three chapters of Norman MacLeod's "Billy Buttons"; James Hannay's "Family Ghost"; Jean Ingelow's poem, "An Old Wife's Song"; and a number of other literary diversions (see scanned image of the contents), as well as eight pages of quaint ads, four at the beginning and four at the end. A small piece of publishing history. L-ES1.
