Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. No Jacket. lxvii, 760 pages : illustrations ; 29 cm OCLC 52073501 This reprint of the first edition of Sweet's Catalog commemorates the 90th anniversary of the Sweet's business."--Foreword ; "In offering to the public, and especially to the architects of the United States, the first edition of Sweet's Indexed Catalogue of Building Construction, the publishers have realized at the very outset the importance of stating clearly, first, what the book is, and secondly, the reasons for commending it to the architectural profession for their use and support. .to explain in a few words the character and purpose of the work, . a embodied in these first successful efforts toward a really scientific standard catalogue and index of building materials and construction. Let the matter be looked at entirely from the point of view of the architect. For a period of a dozen years, every possible method of collecting, sorting, classifying, filing and indexing all the catalogues and circulars of building materials was conscientiously given a fair trial, and after a thorough test, every method was just as conscientiously abandoned. They were abandoned because they did not work well in the specification room. They were not practicable. Everything was tried, arrangements of shelves, bookcases, pasteboard boxes, filing cases, patent binders, filing cabinets, cases of drawers, indexing schemes and " index- rerums. " At first, all the big books were put together in one place and all the little books in another place; and then all the big and little books were mixed up together, and indexed according to subject. Some had four pages, and some had four hundred pages. Barely two were of the same shape or superficies. The little ones would not stand up, and could not be gotten at when laid flat. Another elaborate system was introduced, and a voluminous cross-index started, but the big books contained too much useless matter, and the little books got lost or mislaid or could not be found just when wanted. Then the writer decided, after much time and expense, that the present system of publishing and distributing catalogues, as far as the architect is concerned, might be rightly termed " The Catalogue Delusion, " and that the only solution of the problem must lie in a scientific standard catalogue and index of building materials and construction, gradually developed toward an ideal result by the co-operation of manufacturer and architect. Briefly, then, what is Sweet's Indexed Catalogue of Building Construction? It is a scientific catalogue book system ( a volume or series of volumes) , as easy to refer to as a dictionary, consisting of groups of catalogues from which as much unnecessary matter as possible has been eliminated, carefully indexed and cross- indexed, and sent out gratuitously by the publishers to every architect of good standing. Each catalogue in the work is organically arranged in its parts. It proceeds in a regular order from fact " A " to fact " Z " . Illustrations of a certain class are all grouped and arranged according to some obvious plan. " Literature " and " mere writing " are omitted, as an architect has no time in his office for either."; authors and compilers include Wm. Martin Aiken, Claire Allen, J. M. Baillie, Charles I.

8vo, pp. 56; with errata slip tipped in before first poem; a fine and most attractive copy in contemporary full purple calf, covers with broad gilt border, covers panelled in blind with centre of a basket-weave pattern; spine gilt with red morocco label; marbled endpapers and edges. First and only edition: the first book by Henry Bulwer (1801-72), elder brother of the novelist Edward Bulwer, to whom this book is dedicated. Henry later became a leading British diplomat, in Washington and Constantinople, and was raised to the peerage the year before he died; but in his youth he was a romantic who craved adventure. The poems in this slim volume reflect his early continental experiences, when he spent time in Paris in early 1822; they also reflect his reading of Byron. Two years later, inspired by Byron's commitment to the cause of Greek independence, he was to become closely involved in the London Greek Committee and travelled out to the Ionian Islands to distribute the enormous sums that had been raised for the Greek cause. Byron died in April 1824, and the expedition, which arrived in October, ended in failure with malaria striking all the leading members of the party. The collection's title poem praises Napoleon for his martial achievements, his conquering spirit and the glory he has won for France, and in rather plodding verse laments the nastier side of his nature: Thy rule is o'er, thy race is run; Thy deeds, dark spirit, are undone. Thou, made to make mankind thy prey, Art the vile worms' vile food, and they, The works by thy proud passions wrought, Have vanish'd with thee - and are nought. (p. 13) Provenance.

He begins by stating that her note was forwarded to him from Knebworth. The letter continues: 'I had previously requested my Sol[icito]r. to arrange some plan, if possible by which the [tenets?] of the Deed might be performed without your intervention, or occasioning you any personal [trouble?] &c.' The solicitor has informed Lytton that he has 'not quite effected that object in a mode which will [?] you from all anxiety.' A reference to 'Mr. Greene' follows, and he continues by explaining why he was 'desirous of this', with a possible and only partially-legible reference to his long-suffering wife (as 'Lady L'?) and 'the mother'. He ends in the hope that she will visit him at Knebworth. From the papers of Lady Ann Cullum (1807-1875), wife of Sir Thomas Gery Cullum (1777-1855) of Hardwick House.…
