So, in other words Mr. Buffet is one of the biggest causes of obesity in America?
So the richest man in the world eats total rubbish? I don't think so.
all garbage food, perfect for the surge in type 2 diabetes, maybe Warren should by some pharmas to deal with that…
Ketchup is Ideal for masking the repulsive food eaten by the majority of Americans.
Plenty of sugar and salt for your obesity and heart problems.
Warren Buffett is a Bilderberg fraud, he is no oracle, he uses his influence on government to get favors and the blind eye from regulators….. Berkshire Hathaway is a joke and only sheeple believe Mr. Buffett is something special
I could do this job better than the above writer. I can write first drafts that don't contain egregious errors such as "the the," and "the its." I also am skilled in proper punctuation and grammar.

Please fire the above nitwit and replace him with me.
Thanks Paul, I'm sure the recruiters will be in touch with you imminently.
It's interesting to see HIllary eating that fat laden Blizzard now knowing that she had a blood clot…
garbage in, gabage out. in my eyes, buffet is fast becoming every bit as superficial and unbalanced as the "food" stuffs he invests in. however, it's quite another matter what he actually consumes, bc as we have witnessed recently, what's good for the goose, ain't always good for the gander. what billionaire wouldn't play fast and loose with other people's money/taxes in exchange for presidential policy that guarantees his railroad, burlington northern, gets to haul oil sands instead of the pipeline, which who put money in the pockets of millions instead of his. mr buffet gets fat serving baloney to the proletariat.
You forgot to mention his favorite steakhouse…Gorat's! He doesn't own it, but sends them a lot of business.
Tom actually entertained Paul's post?
Mr. Buffett is something special.
[...] face of the agreement. It probably didn't take much convincing though, because Heinz is the type of iconic American brand Buffett loves; he has big stakes in the maker of Kraft Macaroni and Cheese, Coca-Cola and See's Candy, the WSJ [...]

Along Bungalow Lines teaches those useful lessons through specific examples gathered from locations across the country.

"Addiction: A Personal Story" Offers Rich Resource Tool
- Monday, November 27, 2006
Author: Lacy Enderson
Title: "Addiction: A Personal Story"
Publisher: Bennett Deane Publishing
It is not just the "unsaved" who become ensnared; all families are vulnerable.
The scourge of addiction has intruded into families one would least expect to be affected by drug and alcohol problems – and this includes some prominent Christian families and even some church leaders. As we have been keenly reminded in recent news, even those in high-profile, national positions in the evangelical community can fall prey to drug and sexual addiction.
Oftentimes, the best counseling one can receive is from those who have been in a similar situation, managed to get through it, and -- even though damaged by the experience – landed on their feet and reclaimed their lives.
"Addiction: A Personal Story" (Bennett Deane Publishing, September 2006), commendably written by Lacy Enderson who lived the horror of addiction and eventually conquered it, gives us a full account of an extremely difficult and painful journey. But this book shows that no matter how tough matters are, one can overcome – as has been proven by the author who would have been labeled as a "worst-case scenario."
In "Addiction," Enderson details her fears, struggles, uncontrolled anger, destructive rage, doubts and humiliations, along with the enormous guilt feelings that come from the addiction that controlled her life. Then there were the sometimes brutal body reactions (as it craves more and more) that demand surrender.
The author describes in lurid detail the degrading episodes that shamed her and caused so much pain, not only for herself but for her loved ones as well. Her struggle cost her two marriages when her drunken behavior drove her husbands to a breaking point and they walked out.
Since her recovery, however, she has been happily re-married for more than nine years. Her husband Richard is also a recovered addict, and they both have learned the principles of a good marriage.
Written as a daily devotional, each page leads off with a Scripture verse that was thoughtfully and carefully selected. Then there is an example about an episode in the author's life – the dumb things she did while under the influence, details of who she talked to, what encouraged her, how her cravings overtook her, or what she was thinking.
Each page also contains a "Thought to Meditate On." These thoughts, which are a wrap-up of each episode described, are very powerful and will sometimes jolt the reader. That is followed by "Thoughts and Revelations," which gives readers a place to write down what they are thinking as they read the page.
Offering Hope to the Hopeless
Never has any devotional work gripped this reviewer like "Addiction: A Personal Story." Each page gives bits and snippets of the author's life, which becomes more and more intriguing and compelling. You want to know what is coming next.
Indeed, I defy any reader to simply read the page for the day and put the book down until the next day. The reader will be drawn to read further and further as the story of Lacy Enderson unfolds. She takes the reader on the whole journey, disturbing as it is, but one that does end in victory after her desperate determination overruled her demanding cravings, including those associated with her addiction to cigarettes.
Sometimes the author is so candid and honest about her life, sharing such personal revelations, that the reader might hesitate to read further for fear of intruding upon her privacy. And there are times the reader will even feel a little uncomfortable.
Enderson wants her readers to know it all – how the alcoholic justifies drinking, the deceptions that become a part of the addict's life, how she learned to manipulate and control others, and of course, the excuses that she had down-pat. She is very frank about her failures, the disgraces she experienced, and how she fought her way back. In so doing, she offers hope to the hopeless.

Addicted to Rags
I admit it. It is my guilty pleasure. I love gossip mags.
Katie Wisdom Weinstein: I do not get enough drama in my own world apparently, so I eat it up when a beautiful Swede bashes in her Golf-Superhero's car! Yes, I think the Gosselins, the Octo-Mom and Angelina are idiots who have littered the world with too many children, and I guess I am in the 37 percent who think Jessica wore it better than Blake.
But, really, how does this relate to me and my life? Oh, well, of course "Stars are Like Us Too." I can shop in my Escada jeans and Manolos too, but I choose not to. I prefer to pick up my mags in sweats and giant sunglasses so no one sees I am buying this smut for myself. What? I am not ashamed. I make sure that I hide it face down on the conveyor belt at checkout because it is easier to scan it that way. Don't judge me, Lady.
I am an adult. I am doing research to find my daughter's fave stars (Taylor Lautner is so young, I mean, not my type), I love the articles. Who is interested in Gerard Butler's topless form on the beach? Yes, he is a man's man, but I was staring at the five top hotspots in L.A.! (Wipe off drool, here.) Kids, you are on your own for dinner. I have a new People-Us-Star-OK-Fill in the Blank magazine to read!
We happen to have a family (obsessed) interested in pop culture. My husband works in the sportswear/fashion industry, so we do marketing research to support him. As a family, we could kick your family's ass in Pop Culture trivia. I am just sayin'. We do text each other when news hits the wire of a gossip nature. I may have been right on top of MJ's death the minute TMZ reported it. I am not scared to admit these things.
Let me insert the disclaimer here. I am not starf*cker. I do not swoon when meeting famous (or infamous) people in person. I treat everyone pretty normally. We do meet a fair amount of people in this category -- and I guess I am more interested in the persona and craziness that is their life splashed where everyone can see it. I do believe celebrities chose this celebrity life -- and they can suck it if they don't like it.
But now, I am in a pickle. My co-worker recently said she thought we should all work towards a positive, non-gossip workplace. I almost pee'd myself. The horror! What? Now I have to go underground. I may need to send in a buyer. I cannot get busted in this alleged feel-good scam. This New Year's resolution does not belong to me. I could try to swear off the gossip rags, but I would just get sucked right back in. I have standards to uphold and this new deal would blow all that. I kinda need to know when Sienna and Jude get back together. It feels like home when Katie bashes Scientology. I am comforted when it is someone else's life going haywire (TigerAlexaBradToriAudrinaAdamLindsayBrian). It humbles me and reminds me my life is nice.
So, hands off my gossip (girl). Get it?
|Katie Wisdom Weinstein is a professional modern momma. She lives in Portland, Oregon in a 100 year old house with her husband, Jess, and her two children Ruby, age 10 and Skylar, age 12. Cooking, camping, negotiating with pre-teens and allowing a zoo of animals in her house are her pastimes.
What a wasteful way to live one's life.
I get a little induglence but, really - kids fix your own dinner because I'm too busy reading gossip trash?
This obession isn't going to make you a kinder, nicer person it will (if not already) creep into your real life where you will be gossiping and spreading unfounded rumors about your co-workers, freinds, neighbors, kid's school teachers etc.
As my grandmother use to say, "People are better off tending to their own gardens instead of wandering what others are growing in their's."
This is one blogger I think I can stomache! I have this guilty pleasure too-I love going to the dentist for the amazing selection of crap magazines!
Chrissy, I noticed you on her other blog. You are taking these topics way too literally. Are you reading MomLogic for serious content? Well, for being so disagreeable, you keep reading her, so I guess that is something. THINK: sarcastic, absurd and exaggeration. That is usually what makes something pretty funny.
Ann, you make it sound like Momlogic doesn't post serious articles - like the ones about product recalls, new health advisories, women health issues, child development etc.
And are you certain that this blogger wasn't serious?
They are people out there addicted to the trashy tabloids. Who waste their time, slack off at work reading on line websites, and neglect their personal relationships. Some of the very things this women wrote about.
It's not so clear she's being funny.
Chrissy - Katie also states in her blog that it is in her husbands job description to be up on the latest and greatest. Havin the family involved in one parents career seems like a wise choice that is family inclusive. YOu need to stop judging.

TEAMS: Cleveland Browns
While the Cleveland Browns officially entered a new chapter of team history by unveiling the sale of the naming rights to Cleveland Browns Stadium to FirstEnergy, team owner Jimmy Haslam III stated that the team will also "look into" changes to the team's uniform. Due to the glacial pace of legalese-clad updates to anything in the NFL, the team has filed the requisite paperwork that could see minor updates to the otherwise hitorical uniform as early as the 2014 season. Browns fans who cling to history and nostalgia will be glad to know that the logo-free helmets will remain so as not altering he team's headgear was one of the four stipulations agreed to upon the transfer of ownership from Randy Lerner to Haslam 1 . While there may be some minor changes to the Browns' uniforms, what will remain untouched are the current sidelines as cheerleaders will not be added to the fold. One of only a handful of teams to not have cheerleaders gracing the outskirts of the playing field, Haslam stated that they, while littering all of Dallas, "do not fit Cleveland." The impending changes to the team's uniform and in-stadium accouterments has been an ongoing topic of discussion since Haslam took ownership of the team. Like every other Browns-based topic, the emotional reactions have been mixed.

Q. I would like to begin planting some vegetables in my garden, fertilize my lawn and also apply crabgrass and broadleaved weed control. Obviously, the weather this year is a far cry from the warm weather we experienced in 2012. When can I get out and about in the garden?
A. Nature doesn't necessarily cooperate with what the experts say in books and on the Internet. We need temperatures reliably in the mid- to upper 40s and above-freezing temperatures at night to begin our work in the garden and landscape. The process of photosynthesis shuts down when temperatures are below 45 degrees. It does no good to attempt to grow plants or stimulate growth with fertilizer when temperatures are too low.
There are a few exceptions to the rules. If I had a raised-bed garden, I would seed spinach now. Spinach will germinate and flourish in cold weather. In early April, if the weather warms up, I would be planting potatoes, lettuce, carrots and leeks in the garden, followed closely with transplants of broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage toward mid-April.
Gardeners can plant much earlier in raised-bed gardens compared with conventional beds that need tilling in the spring. It's been good news so far that we have received above-normal precipitation this year. This blessing can be a curse to gardeners who want to plant early spring vegetables in conventional truck gardens. One must wait until the soil is dry enough to till. Soil is dry enough to work and till when one cannot squeeze any water from a handful of soil taken from the garden.
Fertilizer and crabgrass controls need to be applied when the soil is not cold and wet. Wait until temperatures are reliably above the 45-degree mark to apply your first lawn fertilizer. The danger of runoff is increased when the ground is frozen, or if we receive copious rainfall when it's too cold for the grass to actually use the fertilizer. Nowadays, it is almost a given that one should apply a slow-release fertilizer with little or no phosphorus in early spring. One can use a traditional slow-release balanced fertilizer if a soil test shows low phosphorous. Otherwise prevent nutrient runoff into waterways by using fertilizer responsibly.
Crabgrass will germinate when soil temperatures reach 55 degrees. Well, not everyone has a soil thermometer, so a map that uses growing degree-days and observations statewide to predict crabgrass germination would be helpful. This map that tracks crabgrass germination statewide can be found at http://bit.ly/XcqfVv.
Right now there is plenty of time for homeowners to put down preventive crabgrass controls.
One must wait for broadleaved weeds to emerge before putting down controls. It is usually best to apply when the weeds have begun to appear and the surface is moist.

MLB >> New York Mets
Sign up for Yardbarker's daily Top 10 newsletter, the Morning Bark! Customize to get news on your favorite sports and teams.
Found February 17, 2013 on MetsZilla:
PLAYERS: Jordany Valdespin, Terry Collins, Justin Turner, Brandon Hicks, Brian Bixler
TEAMS: New York Mets
TEAMS: New York Mets
Last season at the major league level for the New York Mets and more recently in Winter ball, Jordany Valdespin spent much of his time trying his hand as an outfielder. The 25-year-old hit eight homers in just 191 at-bats for New York, many of which came in dramatic fashion. In 42 at-bats as a pinch-hitter, 'Spin' hit five of his homers and on the season he was also successful in 10 of his 13 stolen base attempts. Despite providing a good bit of much needed excitement for fans that were often starving for just that throughout much of the year, the long term plans for Valdespin seem unclear after an uneven rookie campaign. Yesterday, according to Athony DiComo of mlb.com, New York Mets manager Terry Collins did his best to clarify his outlook for Jordany as he enters his sophomore campaign and apparently it wasn't centered sole about a role in the outfield, despite the Mets being weakest in that area. Though Jordany Valdespin may finally be growing comfortable as an outfielder, the Mets believe his immediate future lies on the infield dirt. "He played a lot of outfield in winter ball. This spring, we need to put him back in the infield a little bit," manager Terry Collins said Saturday after Valdespin reported to camp. "We know if need be, we can play him in the outfield. We need to take a look at him in the infield right now." Image by Michael G. Baron Though second base is Valdespin's natural position, that may hurt his already-slim chances of making the Opening Day roster. Coming into camp, all four of the Mets' starting infielders are entrenched in their roles, with Justin Turner an overwhelming favorite to secure one bench spot. That leaves one slot open for Brandon Hicks or Brian Bixler — and Hicks is out of Minor League options, making him the early favorite for the assignment. Ideally, the Mets would like to see Valdespin mature both on and off the field before handing him another big league job. On the diamond, Valdespin showed a propensity for chasing pitches during his rookie season, striking out in 19 of his final 68 plate appearances. Off the field, he displayed continued immaturity this winter when he posted a Twitter picture of himself wearing a Marlins cap — a photo that he claims his cousin posted without his consent. Regardless of intent, the Mets hope that Valdespin grows both as a person and a player this spring." The Mets have plenty of 'good guys' on the team and I like the flare that Valdespin can potentially provide to the club. So for me, his maturity at the plate is the most important thing and we'll see what Dave Hudgens and company can do to improve his approach.

The location was The Hilton on Park Lane, the host was Sir Trevor McDonald, and a good night was had by all. The presentation of the Elektra European Electronics Industry Awards were the main course for the evening, sandwiched between the starter of magicians and the desert of a Sinatra and Dean Martin impersonator…
As well as Sir Robin Saxby, chairman emeritus at ARM, picking up a Lifetime Achievemnt Award, both component distributor Anglia Components and IP firm PicoChip Designs shared the Company of the Year Award with on the winner's rostrum. For the award Readers' Choice Product Innovation of the Year, Electronics Weekly readers voted the Nintendo Wii games console as the Product Innovation of the Year, and I certainly wouldn't argue with that.

Congratulations to all the companies that were nominated for awards, and particular congratulations to all the winners. You can find the full list of winners here.

Our company was founded way back in 1993. In the beginning, the range of products offered was very limited and consisted mainly of storage shelving and pick and mix containers. However, as time went by, the need to cater for a wider range of shop fittings arose, driven by long lines of clients who seemed unable to find the products they were looking for on the domestic market. Consequently, a new company was officially registered in 1998 - CRC (Malta) Ltd.
In a matter of weeks, CRC (Malta) Ltd. established contacts with various specialised suppliers from all over the world, chose the best brands and products the world market could offer and brought them to our shores at the lowest possible prices. And that is how CRC evolved in the dynamic company it is today – a one-stop shop for whoever wants to start-up or embellish any type of retail outlet, catering establishment, office or store. A Ceaseless stream of positive comments from satisfied clients continues to spur us forward in our search for high-quality products day after day.
Nowadays, CRC (Malta) Ltd. is a well-established company with its own 5-storey complex that houses the showrooms, offices and warehouses spread on each of the 400sq. metre floors. Our own delivery vehicles enable us to transport the goods right up to the client's doorsteps. Indeed, with everything centralised under one roof, a reliable, efficient and fast service to our clients is the order of the day.
Today CRC (Malta) Ltd. boasts a portfolio of over 30,000 products which include shop shelving, storage shelving, complete refrigeration systems, cold rooms, security tags, alarm systems, bar counters, mannequins, office furniture and so much more. Every year, more than 1000 clients come to us for products and design solutions. While 60% of these would be new clients, the remaining 40% represent satisfied customers who come back for new products and fresh ideas.
We believe that apart from having an extensive range of high-quality products offered at extremely competitive prices, nothing exceeds the importance of a good after sales service because our clients deserve the best.
Our primary objective is to provide an extensive range of high-quality products at competitive prices to ensure customer satisfaction at all times. A timely delivery of products coupled with a strong after sales service also rank high in our priority list.

One of the most difficult things to do (in Java web development) today is pick which web framework to use when development an application. The Apache Software foundation hosts most of the popular Java web frameworks: Struts, MyFaces, Tapestry and Wicket. This session will compare these different web frameworks, as well as Spring MVC and Stripes. It will briefly explain how each works and the strengths and weaknesses of each. Tips, tricks and gotcha's will be plentiful. Lastly, it will provide attendees with a sample application that utilizes all 6 frameworks, so they can compare line-by-line how the frameworks are different. This sample application will include the following features: sortable/pageable list, client and server-side validation, success and error messages as well as some Ajax functionality. The frameworks will be rated on how easy they make it to implement these features.

Good presentation, but from last year. You can probably find more recent versions of the talk.

This talk was given in September at JavaZone 2007, so very up to date :)

Pasted on the inside of the front wrapper is anautograph letter to William Gannett, a Unitarian clergyman in Rochester, NY. Dated 15 April 1905, it reads: "I have found it best to publish soley at my own cost and in this hour of comparative poverty an edition of 'Fog Bells.' I have waited half a century for the right moment. I have ordered some sent you that you may see Goodwin's note." She ends saying, "How long I may stay & suffer I know not but I had to do this before I lifted the latch."
The suffering she refers to was crippling arthritis; she "stayed" another seven years, apparently keeping determinedly active.
Library cataloguing of this work gives the publisher variously as Thomas Todd or Little, Brown & Co. — both of which are wrong, as the letter makes clear. The book was merely distributed by Little, Brown & Co. and also by G. P. Putnam's Sons ("To be found at Little, Brown & Co., Boston, Mass. and at G. P. Putnam's Sons, 27 W. 23rd St., New York City.").
Very good condition. Sewn in original wrappers. (34362)
The Introduction was published byElizabeth Watts, later Lynch, the widow and successor of bookseller Richard Watts; the volume opens and closes with advertisements for other legal works either at the press or just published by Watts. This edition is uncommon: ESTC and WorldCat locate only eight U.S. institutional holdings.
ESTC T116235; Sweet & Maxwell (2nd ed.), I, 335:1. Recent quarter calf and marbled paper–covered boards, spine with raised bands and gilt-stamped title. Pages faintly age-toned, with occasional mild to moderate spotting. One leaf with paper flaw affecting a few letters, without loss of sense. A solid, comfortable copy of a significant legal work. (34385)
The printer Elizabeth Allde was the widow of printer Edward Allde, who was active from 1584 to his death in 1628; he was successor to his printer father John Allde (variously Allde, Aldaye, Alde or Aldye), fl. 1555–92, a Scottish stationer and printer. Elizabeth was active from 1628 to 1633, at which latter date she passed the business to Richard Oulton (or Olton), her son-in-law. He continued the firm for another ten years only.
Provenance: On the front free endpaper: "From the Hon. Rev. Lowther Barrington, Buckinghamshire, Eng., 1835."
STC (rev. ed.) 1920; ESTC S112939. Recent full brown calf, late 17th-century style; raised bands accented with gilt rules above and below each band, modest blind fillet on boards, red spine label. Text cockled, waterstained, and with some browning; one leaf with small hole in text with loss to words in two lines on each side. Far from a perfect copy but complete, sound, solid, anddifficult to find. (34388)
Provenance: 19th-century bookplate of the "Bibliotheca Rosales, Bernate," i.e., the library of the Marchese Luigi Ordono de Rosales Cigalini.
ISTC im00245000; Goff M245; HC 10564* (+ var.); Pell Ms 7638 (7542); IGI 6152;Sajó-Soltész 2173; Oates 1898 & 1898.5 (var.); Pr 4808; BMC, V, 333 (var.); GKW M20823. Late 18th- or early 19th-century parchment over paste boards, plain style; spine with abbreviated title, place and date of publication in ink in hand consistent with date of binding and with additional old paper shelving label (another removed); all edges carmine. Clean and even crisp despite waterstaining that is sometimes very noticeable, other times very faint; worming at lower inner margins of gatherings v–z and [et], not into text. Leaves l3 & l4 misbound before l1 & l2; t2 missigned t3 and t3 unsigned; foliation supplied in 18th- or 19th-century in ink. Early manuscript note in lower margin of leaf A2.

17th-century Mexican imprints are ever increasingly difficult to find, and those produced in Puebla (as opposed to Mexico City) are the most difficult of all. This important treatise isonly the second complete copy we have had in our stock in more than 30 years of dealing in Mexicana.
Curiously, there are two issues of this sole edition. After the work was printed but before all copies were sold or distributed, a two-leaf insert was printed that begins "Copia de carta escrita por . . . Don Fray Francisco Nunez obispo de Chiapa" and concerns idolatry in the Yucatan. Some few copies (e.g., those at Library of Congress and New York Public) have these added two leaves. Medina did not know of them and they are not present in the copies at the John Carter Brown, the Bancroft, Tulane, or Beinecke Libraries. Offered here isa complete copy of the first issue, i.e., without the later added letter.
Provenance: Marca de fuego on closed bottom edges of the Hospital de Convalecientes de Nuestra Señora Belén de Puebla.
Medina, Puebla, 153; Sabin 99693; Palau 368931; Viñaza 232; León-Portilla, Tepuztlahcuilolli, 2827; Ugarte, Lenguas indigenas de Mexico, 427; Pilling, Proof-sheets, 4038; García Icazbalceta, Lenguas, 164. Contemporary limp vellum, lacking the ties, modern lettering in ink (old style) on spine; binding a little small for the textblock. Worming at inner margins, occasionally into text, touching and occasionally costing letters but no whole words; waterstaining sometimes barely noticeable, other times like a tea stain. We'd rate it good++. Complete, with the sometimes missing full-page woodcut of the Cruxifixion. (34384)
Moreau, I, 127; Panzer, VIII, 537, no. 324; Adams L13. Not in Schweiger. Recent calf old style, tooled in blind on spine and covers. Faint traces of water and resultant mild arrested mildew in lower outer corners of earliest few pages. Marginalia in some parts affected by a binder's trimming; in other cases, not. All edges carmine. A very good copy. (12637)
The Despertador republicano began publishing in the city of Piura on 13 June 1829, and present here are nos. 1 through 19 of vol. I (i.e., to 10 October 1829) plus a one-leaf supplement to no. 5. The news is heavily about the army, politics in Lima, and the conflict with Colombia, but there is some amount of foreign news. A few of the articles are from the pen of Agustín Gamarra Messía, the president of Peru and a distinguished military officer.
Searches of Charno, WorldCat, COPAC, and the OPAC of the Peruvian National Library/Hemeroteca Nacional del Perufail to locate any copies.
Not listed in Charno. All issues loose, removed from a binding. Worming in text, professionally addressed via leafcasting, with some loss of letters but not of whole words; a few margins professionally extended. Overall very good. (34382)
What made Navajo a good choice for code talking was that while dictionaries and grammars did exist for the language, they existed in small numbers, the language was used in a very limited geographic region and so was obscure, and its linguistic family was not studied outside of the United States.
This 1912 Franciscan Vocabulary was issued in an "Edition limited to three hundred and twenty-five copies" (our vol. I is no. 182 and vol. II is 92). The production was from the mission press of the Franciscans in St. Michaels: The construction of that mission (begun in 1896) was financed by the Rev. Mother Katharine Drexel, of Philadelphia, founder of the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament.
Provenance: Stamp in each volume of the Archive of the Province of St. John the Baptist (O.F.M.). Vol. I with the signature on the title-page ofFr. Berard Haile. the great, early Franciscan scholar of the Navajo language.
Newberry Library, Ayer Indians, Navaho-8. Not in Vancil. Original printed wrappers, some creasing to wrappers, else very good. Housed in a notably handsome quarter brown leather solander case, round spine, raised bands, each band accented with gilt rules above and below; one spine label, five gilt center devices in other compartments, sides of marbled paper. (34293)
Evans 24085; ESTC W20181. Modern marbled paper–covered boards. Age-toning and foxing in reasonable degrees. A solid, good and worthy copy. (34334)
Evans tells us that "The Ephrata Brethren were three years engaged upon its printing and binding. . . . The engraved frontispiece [not present in this copy], representing the army of the martyrs marching to Heaven is generally missing, as the design was offensive to the Mennonites." Others have suggested that the frontispiece was suppressed and that many copies were bound and issued without it. (It was not engraved in the New World, but rather in Germany and possibly by M. Eben.)
Provenance: 18th-century ownership signature of David Worther on title-page of part II. In 1869 a gift of the Shallenberger family to the Crozer Theological Seminary; faint library pressure-stamps on main title- and last leaf of the defunct Crozer Library.
Hildeburn 1050; Evans 6256; Arndt & Eck, German Language Printing in the U.S., T96; NAIP w019947. Contemporary brown sheep over bevelled wood boards, rebacked sympathetically without labels; new endpapers and fly-leaves. Brass corner bosses and evidence of brass and leather closures. Waterstaining in many margins, occasionally into portions of the text; stray brown stains (sometimes heavy and into text), occasional foxing; otherwise, minor rents or holes in some lower margins, and finger soiling in lower margins from turning of pages. Old ink stains into text on 6 pp. obscuring the text a bit. Ownership indicia as above, with an instance or two additionally of library pencilling. Clearly a copy that was used, read, and loved enough to survive in good strong shape into the 21st century. (34266)
Kinza Hirai (1859–?), Zennosuke Toyosaki (1863–?), Yoshio Ogasawara (1868–1945), Saichiro Kanda (1863–?), Jitsungen Saji (1856–?), Nobuta Kishimoto (1865–1928), Tomoji Murai (no dates), Genshiro Noguchi (no dates), Isoo Abe (1865–1949), and Saburo Shimada (1852–1923). There is a half-tone photo of each of the men, most wearing western garb — but not all.
The wrappers are pretty here, their "japonesque" design involving a fan and flowers. A full-page half-tone photo of the large and handsome "Unity Hall," with a number of men and children in front of it, precedes the text.
Searches of NUC and WorldCat locate only four copies in U.S. libraries.
Original light green illustrated wrappers; original black cord threading. Very good. (34326)
WorldCat locates copies in only four U.S. and three Canadian institutions.
Provenance: Stamp on the title-page of the [L'Oeuvre Pontificale de la] "Propagation de la Foi, 5 rue Monsieur, Paris."
Pilling, Algonquian, 215; Newberry Library, Ayer Indians, Cree 36; Banks (rev. ed.), Books in Native Languages, 43; not in Evans, Masinahikan. Publishers quarter cloth with blue paper covers; a bit of chipping to spine and lightly rubbed at edges. Ex-library: paper call number label partially removed from top of spine; stamp on title-page as above; else very good. (34294)
The text of the original Japanese is here present in romanized form and is accompanied by the translation and notes by MacCauley.
Published as part 4, volume 27, of the Transactions of the Asiatic Society of Japan.
First edition; others followed well into the 20th century.
Presentation copy: From the author to fellow Unitarian the Rev. W.C. Gannett.
Original printed wrappers, spine a little chipped and corners bumped. Very good. (34345)
Present here are eleven issues: 1 (29 January 1828), 20 ( 27 March 1828), 55 (1 July 1828), 58 (8 July 1828), 59 (10 July 1858) , 86 (2 October 1828), 87 (7 October 1828), 103 (2 December 1828), 130 (5 March 1829), 131 (12 March 1829), 133 (14 March 1829).
Included are national and international news, politics, and coverage of the war with Gran Colombia; the sentencing of Gen. Santander for the attempted assassination of Simon Bolivar is announced; and one issue is oversized.
Charno p. 544. Disbound; worming, especially in the inner margins but also into text costing letters but not words. Some stray stains, bug spotting, light foxing; paper good. (34206)
STC (rev. ed.) 2077; ESTC S106943; Herbert 74; Rumball-Petre 84; Copinger, Bible and its Transmission, p. 304; Luborsky & Ingram, English Illustrated Books, 1536–1603, 2077. 19th-century "Divinity" binding, rebacked and original spine reapplied; front cover loosely attached by the cloth hinge (inside); binding rubbed. Title, three leaves of Revelation, and the final leaf of the table lacking and supplied in photostatic facsimile; twelve preliminary leaves simply lacking and eight preliminary leaves supplied from a different copy, with all of gathering Cc also clearly from a different copy. Six leaves in Revelation with shortened lower margins, expertly repaired and the two or three bottom lines of those leaves supplied in virtually perfect pen and ink facsimile; two leaves in Revelation and one in Psalms each with a sizeable hole in one column, missing paper supplied by expert leaf casting and missing text and woodcuts or woodcut initials supplied in equally expert pen and ink facsimile. Some waterstaing; wormholes in text in a few gatherings, not serious; old candlewax stains on some leaves. Withal, a rather decent example of this desirable and sought after early English Bible that so often is terribly defective, and a copy with some of its specific repairs and completions now having their own historical interest. (34163)
A list is available on request.
Paperbacks in varying condition; some volumes well read, some in very good condition. (34118)
The prefatory matter here includes maps that show tribal boundaries of Arctic Eskimo in Alaska in 1889 and "ethnographical memoranda concerning the Arctic Eskimos in Alaska and Siberia, by John W. Kelly."
Not in Evans, Masinahikan; not in Banks (rev. ed.), Books in Native Languages. Fine. In original printed wrappers. (34327)
Provenance: Front pastedown with early inked inscription of Sarah Scawen.
ESTC T83529. Contemporary calf, spine with gilt-stamped leather title-label; edges and extremities rubbed, joints cracked, spine leather showing small cracks, sides scuffed with small discolorations. Ex–social club library: 19th-century bookplate covering earlier bookplate, inked call number on front endpapers. Pages age-toned with offsetting to edges of first and last few leaves, and occasional spots of mild staining. One pencilled annotation; one leaf with short tear from lower margin, not touching text. Overall, clearly a pored-over copy, but sound and with contents still as interesting as they were to 17th- and 18th-century readers. (34198)
ESTC T109891. Contemporary calf, framed in blind with blind roll along joints, spine with gilt-stamped leather title-label; binding moderately rubbed overall with lower inner corner of front cover scuffed, spine label chipped and dimmed. One page with early inked doodles, not obscuring text, offset onto opposing page. A few corners bumped; one leaf with lower outer corner torn away. A solid and very usable copy. (34136)
Contemporary half red oilcloth with pebbled black paper–covered sides (rubbed), spine stamped "Ledger" (faded); volume shake and hinges (inside) reinforced with cloth tape. Front fly-leaf excised, one leaf separated and laid in, one leaf torn with pieces laid in; some numbered pages lacking, as above, though it cannot be known whether these were (still?) present when the (onetime?) "Ledger" was assigned to cookbook use. Pages age-toned with occasional smudges and some edges tattered, but generally clean and almost entirely free of typical kitchen staining though the compilation was clearly much used. An interesting volume and worthy of careful perusal. (34141)
The Epistle to the Galatians held a special place in Luther's heart and mind; he lectured on it in 1519 and also in 1523. It is widely reported that in his table talks he is recorded as saying: "The Epistle to the Galatians is my epistle. To it I am as it were in wedlock. It is my Katherine [i.e., the name of his wife]."
Provenance: Ownership inscription of Bryan Tompson, 1735 (fol. 166r); also on A2r, undated, family name spelled "Thompson" and with notation of cost of book as 5/3. Late 19th- or early 20-century ownership inscription on front free endpaper of G.P. Hesketh, of Beltrami Cty., MN; later given (1907) to Dr. Charles Schwartz.
ESTC S108962; STC (rev. ed.) 16973. 18th-century English speckled sheep, recently rebacked; late 19th- or early 20th-century endpapers. Title-page cut down close to text (supplied from a different copy?), mounted to restore page size and expose type on verso; leaf soiled. Top margins throughout closely cropped, costing the top line of text on five of the eight preliminary pages and the running heads and folio numbers on many (not all) text leaves; staining in portions in margins and sometimes into the text of the upper outer sixth of a leaf; longitudinal hole on fols. 259 to 262 costing three words total. Not a perfect, but a decent copy of a Lutheran mainstay in an edition not often found on the market. (34166)
Babson 32; Brunet, IV, 49. Bindings as above, spines sunned (evenly and not unattractively), spines and edges with minor wear. Vol. I with original silk bookmark separated, laid in; one leaf with lower outer corner torn away. Both volumes with occasional mild offsetting and intermittent light to moderate foxing. An elegantly (and very soundly, strongly) bound example of a scientific landmark. (34077)
The masthead device of this publication offers an example of the movement of the materials of presswork in this period as well as the movement of ideas; the handsome block used depictsa radiant printing press floating a banner-ribbon blazoned, "THE TYRANTS FOE, THE PEOPLES FRIEND."
Charno 544. Disbound, worming in text costing letters but not words. Some stray stains, bug spotting, light foxing. Two issues incomplete; a very few foremargins closely cropped. (34207)
A volume of modest production values, this begins nicely with a handsome title-page bearing an engraved vignette by Johann Wilhelm Meil (1733–1805) that sets the tone for the contents: lyricism in an idyllic setting.
Leemann-van Elck, Salomon Gessner, 584. Slightly later green paper–covered boards, rubbed and abraded but volume sound. Early leaves lightly soiled and with light foxing, all edges red. (34204)
Binding: Contemporary cream silk framed and panelled in gold appliqué with attached gilt corner fleurons, front cover with central teal medallion lettered "Aus Ehrfurcht gewidmet."
No copies located via WorldCat, NUC, KVK, or COPAC.
Binding as above, Bornhagen's name neatly inked in upper portion of front cover, front cover with small portions of appliquéd medallion-edge and borders lacking; back cover with short gap in gold appliqué at one corner and with one leaf broken off from one fleuron. Clean, crisp, and with a small repair to inner corner of front fly-leaf, this is avery pretty association item. (34155)
Not in Rosenbach, Early American Children's Books; Welch, Bibliography of American Children's Books Printed Prior to 1821, 512.1; Shaw & Shoemaker 30861. Binding as above, rebacked in calf with cloth-reinforced hinges (inside) and small spine label reading "H-Bible." Pages 43/44 and 47/48 torn with loss of paper and some text and small portion of one image; paper repaired and text replaced in pen and ink. Age-toning, some light spotting and an ink-blot or two; a good+ copy ofa delightful little Bible, children's book, and Americanum. (34161)
Coincidentally, and unknown to him, also on 3 July, Peru officially declared war on Gran Colombia.
Searches of NUC, WorldCat, CCILA, and COPAC fail to locate any copies.
Not in Posada. Tattered at the edges with tears and small pieces of paper missing; old repairs on the verso where a fold tear and another exist; small stains to upper margin, with light age-toning and a very little foxing. Housed in a quarter red morocco clamshell case. Very good. (34168)
Provenance: Late 19th and early 20th century ownership inscriptions on rear pastedown.
Not in Hills. Later 19th-century half sheep over paper boards, spine with gilt rules and lettered in gilt on a black leather label; joints starting. Binding rubbed, with spine leather peeling and a strip of it missing from head of spine; boards exposed. Foxing and spotting intermittently; some pencilling on blank pages in the front and back. A few small dog-ears. (4771)
The struggle lasted more than a decade, but on 12 July 1821, he took Lima from the Royalists, saw Peru officially declared independent on the 28th, and was himself named "Protector of Peru" on 3 August. Just about a year later, on 22 September 1822, via this document, he resigned his position and retired permanently from public life and service.
"The presence of a lucky soldier . . . is feared by newly constituted states; [and] for my part, I am tired of hearing it said that I want to be the sovereign."
"Peruvians: I leave you with an established national government; if you repose in it all of your confidence, count on triumph; if you don't, anarchy will devour you."
And with that he left Peru, returned to Argentina briefly, then sailed to Europe where he lived in several cities, only once attempting to return to America, but always maintaining a keen interest in the fate of his native Argentina.
Searches of WorldCat, NUC, CCILA, COPAC, and the Catálogo Colectivo del Patrimonio Bibliográfico locate two copies worldwide: one in the U.S., and one in Chile. There is a very old unverified report of a copy in the Biblioteca Nacional in Lima.
Medina, Lima, 3704. Browning, age-toning, some crumpling and tattering. Small loss of paper along the wide bottom margin. No worming. Housed in a quarter red morocco clamshell box. (34159)
In announcing that this is the last issue the editors give reasons that are stark and must have been bitter: a complete lack of subscribers, a law that requires them to publish opinions by others that are anathema to the editors' beliefs and ends, and failure of supporters of the editors' ideals to write for the paper.
Removed from a nonce volume; inner margin slightly irregular. Wormholes in text costing some letters and portions of words. (34201)
NUC and WorldCat locate only the copies at Bowdoin College.
Not in Banks; not in Evans; not in Lande, Moravian Missions. Publisher' flexible green cloth stamped and lettered in black. Fine. (34348)
Provenance: 18th-century ownership inscription at top of title-page of Joseph Mendham (probably the clergyman and controversialist).
I: VD17 1:001325D. II: VD17 1:001333V. Recent marbled paper-covered boards with leather spine label. Splotch browning and foxing to text, yet paper strong and clean; a good, solid copy. (34208)
Contemporary sheep; much rubbed, spine leather cracked, front joint starting from foot. Front pastedown with small ticket of S.G. Simpkins, Boston stationer. One leaf separated; light to moderate spotting, occasional small smudges. Several pieces of cut paper in a watering can and floral print are laid in. Engrossing and eminently usable. (34153)
Evidence of readership: A 19th-century reader has added words and a whole phrase to the text in pencil on p. 4; has added a much, much longer note on p. 5; has "corrected" some words on p. 6 and added a long phrase on same; and has "corrected" one word on p. 7.
The dating of the printing of this is problematic: NUC uses the Library of Congress dating of 1719 (and locates only two copies). ESTC, not noting either of the copies reported to NUC, lists only the copy at Columbia University whose cataloguer uses the date of 1680 found in type at the end of the letter, being when Muggleton penned it, but not necessarily when it was printed. Of the two copies reported to NUC, one one is findable via the reporting institutions' OPACs.
ESTC R476627; Smith, Bibliotheca Anti-Quakeriana, 311. On Muggleton, see: The Dictionary of National Biography, XXXIX, 264–67; and on the movement, see: Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church 948. Recent green, brown, and yellow marbled paper over light boards; front cover with a paper label lettered in black. Browned with darker spotting. Chipping in the margins repaired. Pencilling as above. A very good copy. (5117)
Claire Van Vliet designed and printed the volume; Barbara Luck set the text, and Van Vliet and Linda Idella Kohl Wray bound the work in gray Kizuki wrappers. This isone of 150 copies printed, signed at the colophon by both author and artist.
Fine, Janus Press 1981–1990, 41. Publisher's paper–covered light boards as above, spine and front cover with title simply stamped in black; covers with central portion gently sunned, creating a subtle and not unattractive striped effect. (34145)
The volume has a pocket at the back, into which a number of clippings and advertisements have been laid. Among that group is a printed promotional pamphlet for spray pumps and nozzles sold by L. Templin & Sons of Calla, Ohio, "Seedmen" and practical garden suppliers; Mrs. Vates seems to have been concerned with agricultural and husbandry matters in general, as two different sets of instructions for preparing poultry feed are also here. The clippings come from an assortment of Connecticut, New York, and Philadelphia periodicals, while some of the manuscript recipes bear attributions to Mary Smith, Carrie Buell, Mrs. Andrews, Mrs. Coffrin, and others.
Contemporary limp sheep, covers framed in blind; binding worn, spine reinforced with cloth tape, back cover with printed "Butcher Books" label (now rubbed) affixed. Hinges (inside) cracked, back pocket somewhat frayed, pages age-toned with spots of staining. A very nice example of domesticity as shaped both locally and by the media in the early 1900s. (34140)
Recent red marbled paper over boards with black leather spine label lettered in gilt. Faint overall dampstaining and consequent cockling of leaves; staining darker to first three leaves and these, including title, with repairs to slim streaks of interior loss affecting text or image (perhaps a hint as to why the poem is not present). Worming in lower margin at rear affecting a few catchwords; lower blank portion of next to last leaf excised but printer's device not touched. A relic in decent shape, a survivor. (34113)
ESTC T97031; Sweet & Maxwell (2nd ed.) I:322.4. 19th-century half calf and dark red ribbon-embossed cloth, very pleasingly rebacked, spine with gilt-stamped title and raised bands framed by bead-and-line blind tooling; original leather corners worn, cloth scuffed, front cover with faint traces of ring indentation and small area of bubbling by lower outer corner. Pages gently age-toned; one lower outer corner torn away, not touching text; one leaf with paper flaw in lower outer portion. A good solid copy that will present a pleasing appearance on the shelf. (34120)
NUC and WorldCat locateonly the copy at the Rockford, IL, public library.
Evidence of Readership: Pencil notes on front wrapper, pencil notations in some margins and some underlining; "no" appears next to several assertions about "scientific discoveries" as to Akkadian; and a paragraph of 18 lines on p. 37 is completely, neatly excised (costing lines on verso also) — though whether the clipping was done for posting/sharing (or for "preservation" in a scrapbook), or as an act of censorship, is unknowable.
Original printed wrappers; "evidence of readership" as above. Very good. (34323)
The vast bulk of this work attempts to convince the English to support the Scots' enterprise and cites political, religious, social, and economic reasons for doing so; clearly, the Scots knew that English naval might in particular would be essential for the success of the scheme. Beyond this, however, a section (pp. 42 to 51) addresses the natural history, native population, agricultural commodities, and indigenous industry of the region; and the work ends with an account of the Scots' settlement, the buildings erected there, and its intercourse with the indigenous people.
Authorship of this work is problematic: It is signed "Philo-Caledon" at the end of the dedication and three other names have have been proposed as possible authors in addition to Foyer's — George Ridpath, Andrew Fletcher, and John Hamilton (2nd Baron Belhaven). Added to the conundrum of authorship, the work was produced in four editions in the same year, each having different numbers of pages, each with a different signature scheme, none with a publisher, and this one without even a place of publication!
Wing (rev. ed.) F2047; Sabin 78211; Alden & Landis 699/9; ESTC R18505 ; and Halkett & Laing II:32. 20th-century half dark brown crushed morocco with brown linen sides. This copy has all the hallmarks of having once been through a British bookseller's "hospital": all leaves are dust-soiled or age-toned; all leaves are uncut but some have been extended and others not, and some leaves with torn margins (but not all) have had lost paper restored; all such repairs and extensions are within the first six leaves, meaning these were probably supplied from another copy. Top of title-leaf trimmed with loss of "A" of the title; another leaf with a tear to the top margin with loss costing tops of several letters of words on one page, and two leaves with the running head guillotined by a binder; some stray stains. An interesting copy for its probable if problematic history and condition. (34130)
Binding: Publisher's vellum, front cover with Edward's coat of arms stamped in red, black, and gilt, spine with gilt-stamped title; top edge gilt.
Bound as above, vellum very slightly sprung; spine gently darkened with gilt dimmed and small scuffs to extremities, front cover shield with two minute spots of rubbing to gilt. Four leaves with unobtrusive creasing from outer (untrimmed) edges. A very attractive copy of a very atmospheric work. (34085)
ESTC T78584; Sweet & Maxwell (2nd ed.) I:16.25. Contemporary calf, spine with gilt-stamped leather title-label; spine and extremities showing minor wear. Endpapers and fly-leaves with marginal offsetting from turn-ins. Pages with occasional small faint spots, otherwise clean. A solid and eminently respectable copy. (34096)
Provenance: Title-page with early inked ownership inscription of Richard Almack in upper portion, back fly-leaf with early inked inscription "This Book was given to me by Mr. Richard Relham of Cambr[idge]" and, in another hand, "Hugh Davies."
ESTC S122651; STC (2nd ed.) 9285; Lowndes 1449; Sweet & Maxwell, 21.V.9. Contemporary sheep framed in blind, unobtrusively rebacked, spine with gilt-stamped title and date (incorrect: given as 1611); sides showing signs of earlier wear, back cover with spots of mild discoloration, upper outer corners rubbed. Inscriptions as above. Outer page edges (closed) with early inked title and date; text with a handful of instances of early inked underlining. Mild to moderate waterstaining to upper or lower portions of a number of leaves; two pages with spots of light staining; small section of volume with chip to lower edges. A solid, respectable copy of a venerable work as set forth for and integrated with the needs of the "modern" practitioner. (34003)
The text is illustrated with half-tone reproductions of photographs.
Decker 28:159. Original printed beige wrappers. Very good. (34111)
Publisher's quarter orange cloth and dark green paper–covered sides, spine with title stamped in silver, in original dust jacket; jacket with spine extremities lightly worn, edges of back panel darkened, upper inner front corner and upper back corner each with short tear. One page with light smudge to lower outer margin. A nice copy of a signed Singer first edition. (34092)
The text appears here in sepia ink in a large Renaissance rotunda hand, set forth to the point of our bracket above, illuminated and featuringa large miniature of Kind David filling the center of a large initial B. Along the bottom margin in three medallions are Saints Mark, Benedict (center bottom), and Laurence; the right margin has two additional medallion portraits of unidentified female figures. The margins are garnished with gilt and bright-colored flowers, among which hidesthe small image of a deer "As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God"?
Matted and under glass in an elegant 20th-century gilt frame, ready for hanging. We have not opened this to discover whether Psalm 1 continues (or Job concludes) on the other side of the leaf, but the suspicion must be, given the beauty and quality of the side showing, that this is a leaf that would benefit from double-glazing showcasing both sides. (33296)
Historians still consider this to be the definitive biography of Quiroga. Theengraved portrait of him, handsome and from the burin of José Morales, adds a face to the words of the biographer and to the account of the deeds of the biographee.
Medina, Mexico, 5099; Wellcome, Medical Americana, M.134; Palau 181902; Beristain, III, 2059. Contemporary limp vellum with remnants of ties.

In doing so he pledge to his people that he obligated himself "to strictly obey your legitimate wants: I will protect your sacred religion as the faith of all Colombians and the code of all good men; I will make justice the first law of all transactions and the universal guarantee of our citizens."
The promise of liberty is strangely addressed: "I will not say anything to you about liberty because if I fulfill my promises you will be more than free — you will be respected."
Searches of WorldCat, COPAC, CCILA, Catálogo Colectivo del Patrimonio Bibliográfico, the OPACs of the Bibliotecas Nacionales de Colombia and Venezuela locate one copy in the U.S. and possibly three in the BNC and probably none in the BNV.
Posada 1042. Removed from a bound volume and irregular along the left margin; without the integral blank. Eight wormholes in text but not costing any letters. Now housed in a quarter red morocco clamshell box, round spine, raised bands with gilt accenting. A good++ copy. (34097)

Bound as above with spine cloth spotted perhaps by its own underlying glue, a small old ink(?) spot to lower edge of back cover, corners and spine head slightly rubbed; without the d/j. First and last few pages with faint spotting; corners bumped with a few creased. A solid copy and a good, pleasant one despite faults noted! (34081)
Publisher's quarter vellum with dun-colored paper sides, top edge gilt. Bindings dust-soiled, not unpleasantly, with very light overall wear; one chip to paper of vol. II. A good++ set. (34058)
Binding: Medieval-style contemporary vellum with yapp edges, done by Alfonso Dori & Figli of Florence, front cover with calligraphed title and illuminated manuscript–inspired foliate design painted in blue, green, rose, sepia, and gold. Front cover, in this case, additionally personalized with owner's name.
Provenance: Front cover calligraphed with "M.H. Penick"; front fly-leaf with inked inscription, dated 1932, of Margaret H. Penick: very plausibly the poet Margaret Henry Dabney Penick (later M.H. Penick Nuttle; 1879–1962), author of Beauty's Snare and Coins of Memory.
Binding as above, tie now largely absent, vellum darkened (particularly the spine, all attractively).

Paying tribute to the impact of Kent's design of the volume and theclose to 300 images he provided, the bindingonly gives the artist's name, rather than the author's!
Publisher's black cloth, front cover and spine pictorially stamped in silver; dust jacket lacking, back upper outer corner bumped, spine and corners showing very slight shelfwear, front cover with small, unobtrusive scuff.

Present in this volume are copies of the first three of Locke's letters on toleration, the only ones published during his lifetime. The volume leads off with the second edition in English, corrected, of the first letter, this having first appeared in 1689 in Latin (Epistola de tolerantia) and in the same year in English in a quarto edition of 61 pages. Translated by William Popple, it is here in 12mo format. That is followed by Locke's Second Letter, in quarto, written in reply to Jonas Proast's The Argument of the Letter concerning Toleration considered and answered (Oxford, 1690), and then by his Third Letter, also quarto, which continued the debate with Proast by reply to the Oxfordian's own Third Letter.
A fourth letter was left in manuscript at Locke's death in 1702; it was first published in the Posthumous Works of Mr. John Locke (1706) but seems never to have appeared in a free-standing edition of its own.
Provenance: Pacific School of Religion (properly released).

Contemporary plain calf with modest blind-tooled floral corner devices on the boards; rebacked. Ex-library as above, with bookplate; stamp on front free endpaper and on title-page of The Second Letter only, otherwise unmarked. Without the half-title to The Second Letter. A very nice gathering. In a quarter brown morocco solander case with brown cloth sides; raised bands accented by gilt rules above and below each band; gilt center devices in spine compartments. (33772)
Very good image. (33880)
This Italian translation is of Books 17 and 18 of the original seven-volume work (first published Amsterdam, 1770, and an anonymous continuation); dealing strictly with North America, it has much to say about the political turmoil of the English colonies, the Continental Congress, etc., but also about Canada, native Americans, the border regions of Florida and Louisiana, and French interests.
A third volume that appeared in 1780, but is not present here, carried the story "fino alla primavera del 1779 nella quale, oltre alla guerra civile trà la Gran Bretagna, e le Colonie Unite, si descrive anche quella trà la prima, e la Francia."
Echeverria & Wilkie, French Image, 778/67. Contemporary vellum over paste boards, gilt caramel-colored spine label, all edges blue. Some gatherings of leaves browned from impurities in the water during the paper manufacture, and occasional foxing or other light staining. Without vol. 3, later published, and, that aside, arather nice copy. (33614)
This is a stunning printing of Washington's famous message. The text is printed in gold ink in four-column format within an elaborate engraved border printed in silver on bright white calendered paper. The firm of "White & Durand" is listed in the 1834–35 New York city directory as specializing in "specimens of xylographic engraving and printing in colours" and seems to have done a good business in labels for drug store bottles. An earlier incarnation of the firm "A.B.C. Durand, Wright & Co." had specialized in banknote engraving as early as 1825, and certainly the border here is of that style and quality.
The firm was renamed in the 1835–35 city directory to "Wright & Prentiss."
Searches of NUC, WorldCat, and the OPACs of the American Antiquarian Society and the Library of Congressfail to locate any other copies.
Date attribution based on admiring notice in an 1834 trade journal. Minor indications at some edges of the item having been pinned or tacked for display; faint instances of old staining at edges, in one case slightly into border.An excellent copy of an important and absolutely lovely production.

The Church Missionary Society (CMS), is a boarding school for boys, founded the CMS Grammar School, Lagos, the oldest secondary grammar school in Nigeria, on 6th June 1859. The fact that it's the oldest school in Nigeria deserves a notable mention it has also gone on to produce some of the nation's leaders making it one of the top schools in Nigeria's history although it has gone through a decline it still stands as one of Nigeria's hallmarks. Its motto is 'Nisi Dminus Frustra' meaning 'Without God we Labour in vain'.
Vivian Fowler Memorial College for Girls was established in 1991 to promote the advancement of women through quality and functional education. Although still relatively young, it has championed the cause of the girl- child education in Nigeria. It has helped in producing countless of well inspired young ladies and in the promotion of womanhood into the topmost heights in all aspects of human endeavors through both academic pursuit and moral discipline as its motto states "IN PURSUIT OF EXCELLENCE".
Loyola Jesuit College is a private Roman catholic secondary school in Nigeria operated by the Society of Jesus religious order. The school was opened on October 2, 1996 and is named after the Society's founder, St. Loyola. Also a young institution, it is very selective in the admission of its students thereby making its students feel special It is on record that it has produced the best collective WAEC results in the country for 7 consecutive years but its social life is rather limited.
Atlantic Hall was established in January 1989 by the Atlantic Hall Educational Trust Council.
Atlantic Hall is a co-educational secondary school set in extensive and beautiful grounds in Poka, Epe, close to the Atlantic Ocean .The school has chosen to maintain its present population of approximately 600 students from ages 10 to 17; with a staff student ratio of 1 : 10, every child is known. Academic excellence and a well rounded education.
Hillcrest School is a cooperative mission school run by 10 cooperating mission agencies, and each is responsible to supply teachers. Since its beginning in 1942, it has educated not only missionary kids but children from all over the world. It was voted number 40 in the Best Secondary Schools in Africa List in 2003 by Africa Almanac. Its motto' set our minds on things above'
In 1982, the Nigerian Federal Government set up a committee to brainstorm on the education of "gifted children". Four years later in 1986, Jubril Aminu, then Minister of Education established the Gifted Education Programme which culminated in what came to be known as Suleja Academy.
Standards are a priority but we also believe that by educating the whole child, we can bring out the best in each one. The school is committed to academic excellence and a well rounded education.
Government College Ibadan, (founded February 28, 1929), is a secondary school for boys located on the hills of Apata Ganga in Ibadan, Nigeria. In the period before the dissolution of the Western Region, Nigeria, the school earned the enviable fame of being the best secondary school in Nigeria. It had well-resourced classrooms and laboratories. As the school grew in numbers, in reputation and in fame, its students constantly achieved high scores for exam results at O-Level and A-Level. In the decade of the sixties, over 78 distinctions were obtained by Government College students in the examinations, an unprecedented achievement in Nigeria. Suffice it to say that the school boldly summoned in the decade of the seventies by upholding its laurels, in both the academic and extracurricular fields. The school has produced over 80% of the presidents of the Nigerian Society of Engineers since its inception, and one of the four Africans in history to be awarded a Prize. It possesses notable old boy's such as;
- Omo NOba NEdo, Erediauwa II, King of Benin, Nigeria
- Late.Oba J.A. Andu, First Hydrophilic Engineer in Nigeria
- Late. Dr. Akinola Aguda, First Chief Justice of Botswana
- Chief Anthony Enahoro, First Minister of Information, Nigeria
- Chief Ajibola Ogunsola, First Actuary in Nigeria
- ProfessorWole Soyinka, First African Literary Nobel Laureate
Queen's College, Lagos, is a government-owned girl's secondary (high) school with boarding facilities, situated in Yaba, Lagos, Lagos State, Nigeria. Often referred to as the "sister college" of King's College, Lagos, it was founded in 1927, when Nigeria was still a British colony.
The school has returned the best results nationwide in the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) conducted by the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) seven times since 1985 and is widely considered to be one of the top schools on the African continent. Its alumni include doctors, engineers, and lawyers who live and work all over the world including the United States, UK, Germany, Canada, France and other countries. The school motto is "Pass on the Torch."
Barewa College is a college in Zaria, Kaduna State, northern Nigeria. Founded in 1922 by British Governor General Hugh Clifford, it was originally known as "Katsina College." It switched its name to "Kaduna College" in 1938 and then "Government College, Zaria" in 1949 before settling on "Barewa College." It is one of the largest boarding schools in Northern Nigeria and was the most celebrated post primary school in Northern Nigeria up to the early 1960s. The school is known for the large number of elites from the region that passed through the school's academic buildings and counts among its alumni, five of whom were at one time Nigerian Heads of State including the incumbent president Umaru Yar'Adua.Barewa College has since declined, the school currently resembles the state of the nation. Its facilities currently suffer from underfunding; its dining hall sometimes lacked enough chairs to seat the students leaving many to eat in the open.
Its Notable Alumni's are;
· Nasir Ahmad el-Rufai
…And still the school suffers, why won't Nigeria?
In King's College Lagos, there is a saying that goes like this "In Nigeria there are only two schools, King's College and Others".
It was founded on 20 September 1909 with 10 students on its original site at Lagos Island, adjacent to Tafawa Balewa Square. The school admits male students only, although there were some female (A Level) HSC students before the establishment of Queen's College Lagos. Now the school conducts exams for the West African School-Leaving Certificate and the National Examinations Council. It has been a leading school in Nigeria in almost all endeavors ranging from education, sports and social life.
King's College was founded by the British for the sole purpose of producing leaders who are competent, well educated enlightened, de-tribalized and general all-rounder's for the ruling of the nation but for some reasons its students has been sidelined from their true destiny by the Barewa boys thereby living the nation in a state of anarchy. The time has come for us to rise up and challenge the Barewa boys for our true position which is at the helm of the nation, to steer the nation from this Great depression.
Notable Alumni include;

"Mistakes are the portals of discovery."
- James Joyce

"Old-school types are nostalgic for the days of walking into the library stacks and seeing what books catch one's eye; digital tools often have trouble enabling this sort of accidental discovery, where a user finds something valuable that they didn't even know they wanted. But serendipitous encounters don't have to be analog; if anything, digital tools should be able to foster more serendipity, since they can effortlessly reorder categories, effectively rearranging stacks based on the researcher's avenue of inquiry. But how would one engineer serendipity — and can we even call something serendipitous if it was engineered?"
"I kind of hate to say it, since I am a librarian. We pay a lot of money for discovery tools. And then I go off and just use Google Scholar."
(via thelifeguardlibrarian)
""We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves." — Galileo Galilei"
"In Washington, budget cuts have left the nation's research complex reeling. Labs are closing. Scientists are being laid off. Projects are being put on the shelf, especially in the risky, freewheeling realm of basic research. Yet from Silicon Valley to Wall Street, science philanthropy is hot, as many of the richest Americans seek to reinvent themselves as patrons of social progress through science research. The result is a new calculus of influence and priorities that the scientific community views with a mix of gratitude and trepidation. "For better or worse," said Steven A. Edwards, a policy analyst at the American Association for the Advancement of Science, "the practice of science in the 21st century is becoming shaped less by national priorities or by peer-review groups and more by the particular preferences of individuals with huge amounts of money.""
- James Joyce
"I was very enthralled with the thrill of discovery and the drive for research and not as much paying attention to the consequences of, 'If we answer these questions, what's going to happen?'" he says. What was going to happen soon became apparent: Robotics started moving out of the labs and into the military-industrial complex, and Mr. Arkin began to worry that the systems could eventually be retooled as weaponized "killing machines fully capable of taking human life, perhaps indiscriminately."
"Discovery consists of seeing what everyone has seen and thinking what nobody has thought."
"We've observed a new particle. We have quite strong evidence that there's something there. Its properties are still going to take us a little bit of time," Joe Incandela, spokesman for the CMS experiment, one of the main Higgs-searching experiments at CERN's Large Hadron Collider, said in the video. "We think this is pretty darned significant."
Knowing that it can take weeks or even months to refine a search and make a decision on all matters education, Noodle Education is today launching what it believes is a better solution: A search and recommendation engine that helps refine the process and suggest educational opportunities based on what's important to you.
Like Google, Noodle is attempting to organize an enormous amount of data, aggregating information on a wide range of learning options. As it is today, the search and discovery process for education is fragmenting, as you navigate to one resource for test prep, another for pre-K schooling options, another for guidance counselors, and so on. So, Noodle is attempting to create the first education discovery engine that combines aggregated data with socially-enabled search to help find formal and informal educational opportunities — from tutors and schools to study abroad programs and guidance counseling.

"Passing tests doesn't begin to compare with searching and inquiring and pursuing topics that engage us and excite us. That's far more significant than passing tests and, in fact, if that's the kind of educational career you're given the opportunity to pursue, you will remember what you discovered."

In a word….GOOD
IncGamers returns to its roots and goes exclusively PC
When we first started the site, (and it's come under various names since 1997 for numerous reasons), we were firmly focused on PC coverage. IncGamers spawned from an idea I had back in 1994 with a videogame cafe, and Elly also got to work on building the IncGamers communities around the same time (Read more about it here). To put it simply, we were focused on catering to an audience that shared the same gaming interests as ourselves.
Around five years ago we expanded into console coverage, the market was booming and exciting things were happening after the launch of the PS3 and 360. Since then we have been providing content on all platforms, but a few months ago I realised that consoles, while mass market, were just not floating my boat. PC was making a comeback with more interesting titles appearing once again, in-part due to the rise of crowd funding and the penetrations of delivery platforms such as Steam.
So here we are, we've gone full circle and we're back to our roots. So what does that mean for you the reader? You will still be able to dive into top-notch news coverage, PC articles, industry editorials, reviews, previews, and we'll be able to continue focusing on catering to our communities and the games they like to play
It's an exciting time for the IncGamers.com site and the IncGamers communities. Thanks to everyone for your support and comments here on the site, keep the feedback coming, here and in our communities.

Interesting… have you not seen the graph that clearly shows how PC gaming always experiences a jump in popularity when a generation of consoles gets old, and PCs that are better than current consoles can be bought fairly cheap.
Then what happens? New consoles come out and PC suffers another devastating drop in popularity. Good luck for when the next Xbox and PlayStation are released…November 1, 2012 at 3:28 pm
