attractive copy, appears unused but with slight ding to lower corners of covers. MUIR, JOHN. Wilderness essays. Introduction by Frank E. Buske. Layton, Utah: Gibbs Smith, 2015, later printing of revised edition, xxiv, 263pp., . "Part of John Muir's appeal to modern readers is that he not only explored the American West and wrote about its beauties but also fought for their preservation. His successes dot the landscape and are evident in all the natural features that bear his name: forests, lakes, trails, and glaciers. Here collected are some of Muir's finest wilderness essays, ranging in subject matter from Alaska to Yellowstone, from Oregon to the High Sierra.This book is part of a series that celebrates the tradition of literary naturalists--writers who embrace the natural world as the setting for some of our most euphoric and serious experiences. These books map the intimate connections between the human and the natural world. Literary naturalists transcend political boundaries, social concerns, and historical milieus; they speak for what Henry Beston called the 'other nations' of the planet. Their message acquires more weight and urgency as wild places become increasingly scarce.". ISBN 9781423607120.…

Hardcover. xxxv, 553 p.; 8 pl.; 21 cm. [London edition 1880-82, 3 vols.; first thus in 1883] Samuel Wilberforce, 1805-1873. `It is fitting to say a few words about the manner in which the three English volumes have been compressed into the single American one, without, it is believed, any substandital loss of interest of value. Much was gained, of course, by the use of smaller print, and scarcely less by the careful excision of unnecessary or unimportant words and phrases--lists of names, titles, trivialities, redundancies, and repetitions of all sorts; most of which, especially to an American reader, tended rather to burden than to assist the understanding. The latest volume of the English edition, which is chiefly responsible for the ferment across the water, is the most substantially reproduced, not so much to gratify the general desire to see the so-called "revelations" as becuase it is the most interesting.' (p. xvi) Good olive cloth, spine ends frayed. Note at head of title-page.…

Zustand: NEAR FINE. First thus. One of Muir's most accessible and delightful books, originally published in 1911 (over 40 years after this summer of 1869). It begins with a single brief paragraph dismissing the Great Central Valley - "in it there are only two seasons, spring and summer. This strikingly beautiful edition reproduces the 1988 limited edition by Yolla Bolly Press, illustrated with 12 wood engravings by Michael McCurdy and with a foreword and notes by Frederick Turner. Large format. xii, 162 pp plus colophon. Fine in a near fine dust jacket (as new, but with sunning to the spine and edges of the dust jacket, as is unfortunately common with this title).…

Couverture rigide. Zustand: Bon. Horace Mariani (1838-1914), mécène, concepteur du vin Mariani, frère d'Angélo. L.A.S., 13 mars 1884, 1p in-8. Entête du journal L'Evènement. A l'écrivain Aurélien Scholl (1833-1902). Il lui demande de lire un « conte corse » et souhaiterait le voir publié dans L'Echo de Paris. Moins connu que son frère, Horace fut écrivain à ses heures perdues. Il publie ainsi des poésies en 1908 (Etampes, Maurice Dormann). Il souhaite profiter ici de la fondation de ce nouveau journal dont le premier numéro fut publié le 12 mars 1884. Scholl en était le rédacteur en chef. Le conte corse ne semble pas y avoir été publié. Peu commun. [202-2].…
