Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Duodecimo, 336 pages, printed boards, quarter leather spine perished, leaf 255/256 is torn; leaf 133/134 lacks a large chunk, top cover detached. " The geographies written by Mitchell apparently had the widest circulation of any appearing in the United States before 1900. . Of these seven different books the SYSTEM apparently was the most popular, . The first 50 pages were like a catechism of questions in fine print. These were questions about the maps in the ATLAS. The remainder of the book was descriptive geography about the different countries of the world, with questions at the end of each section . and included many small pictures." - NIetz, OLD TEXTBOOKS, pp. 229-230. Section 64 is devoted to Russian America, with a wood engraving of a "Subterranean Mansion of the Aleutian Islanders". Section 121, Illinois, has an engraving of "Illinois College". Section 120, Indiana, has an engraving of the "Battle of Tippecanoe". Section 126, California, features an engraving of San Francisco. Lead is found in greater quantity in Wisconsin than in any other part of the U.S. Its entry has an engraving of lead mining.

Shop-Beschreibung

Joyce And Company, established 1975, works out of an office near Chicago's Loop. There are usually 15-20,000 books on-site and available for browsing. Mr. Joyce was a founding partner of the former Chicago Rare Book Center, of Chicago and Evanston, Illinois. Proprietor Tom Joyce appeared regularly as the book appraiser on "The Appraisal Fair", seen on Home And Garden Television, HGTV. We still do appraisals on a wide variety of subjects, from literature to history, fine books, children's, presses, theology, law, medicine, maps, autographs. These topics are reflected in our inventory, and much more, including Sherlockiana. In addition to regional institutions nearby Chicago and Illinois, we have been able to place rare materials with the American Antiquarian Society, The Library of Congress, The Bodleian Library, Harvard and Yale Universities, the Presidential Libraries of Abraham Lincoln and George Washington, et cetera.
