Descripción del artículo del vendedor

Octavo in beige-grey stamped and gilted paper-backed boards; 45 pages 20 cm. Uncommon essay-tract on the demerits of alcohol, drinking, and the merits sober living. ? "David Starr Jordan (January 19, 1851 ? September 19, 1931) was the founding president of Stanford University, serving from 1891 to 1913. He was an ichthyologist during his research career. Prior to serving as president of Stanford University, he had served as president of Indiana University from 1884 to 1891 Starr was also a strong supporter of eugenics, and his published views expressed a fear of "race-degeneration" and asserted that cattle and human beings are "governed by the same laws of selection". He was an antimilitarist since he believed that war killed off the best members of the gene pool, and he initially opposed American involvement in World War I. Both of these beliefs may have been in part shaped by the death of his close older brother, Rufus Bacon Jordan, in 1862 from a 'camp fever', likely typhoid, immediately after enlisting to fight in the American civil war." Morale Pratique. Ehics (Philosophical Concept) Conduct of life. Minor foxing to exterior.; two small damp stains (one to front board, another to page lower hinges (small)). Overall about very good(-). Binding tight; leaves clean save for a small single foxing spot to outer margins of a few pages, Handsome personal bookplate of one George J Tansey to front paste-down, as well as his signature to front endpaper.
