This reader, published after World War I, begins with a poem, "The American Boy." It is a dialogue between a father and son about patriotism. According to the author of this reader, the influence of the story "The Poor Little Match Girl" "founded many an orphan home and organized hundreds of societies for relief of the worthy poor," which indicates an emphasis on philanthropy and social work during the era of the Social Gospel.80% of selections taught traditional values."-- Sharon Vincz Andrews ; signature of a youthful Gerald Grout, later a Kansas Ophthalmologist ; GOOD.

Añadir al carritoOblong 8vo. 8.26 x 6.5 in. 16 printed leaves, 40 silver gelatin photographs, sized 6.5 x 8 in. (very minor edgewear, slight toning to fore-edges, minor creasing & toning to couple of the printed leaves). Original printed textured green front cover, gilt lettering stamped, preserved in green cloth portfolio case. These original p…hotos document many famed motors from the famed automobile collection of Stanley E. Sears (1903-1989), President of the Veteran Car Club in the UK, former president of the Rolls Royce Ghost 20 Club. He was noted for his famed collection of Brass Era automobiles, and other vintage cars and machines, including a massive Wallis & Steevens Steam Tractor which he converted to propane. At the end of 1959, Sears commissioned Thomas Photos in Oxford to photograph his cars outdoors with excellent lighting to emphasize the details, which he subsequently had bound in plastic-comb bindings, or sent as portfolios with assortments from the collection for friends and fellow enthusiasts. Although Gerald Gauld notes in Gentleman Jack that the 1905 Rolls-Royce was not photographed initially, this collection does include images of that vehicle. These images document such famed autos as the stylish 1927 Rolls Royce Phantom I with a Louis XIV interior and upholstery built for C.W. Gasque of Hampstead; as well as a 1932 Rolls Royce 20/25, 1934 Rolls Royce Phantom II, 1938 Rolls Royce Phantom III, and 1939 Rolls Royce Wraith. Sears' 1901 Mors which was the oldest in the collection, featured a 2.4 litre 4-cylinder engine and was initially owned by M. Fernand of Nancy, France; the 1903 Clement Talbot which he considered the cornerstone of his collection as he saved it from the scrap metal drives during World War II; a 1904 Mercedes which was originally raced at Brooklands during 1906/1908 racing season by Tom Faulkner, and later restored and rebuilt by C.R. Abbott in 1947; a 1914 Tourist Trophy Sunbeam, which was one of the original team cars for the Tourist Trophy on the Isle of Man in 1914 driven by Dario Resta; the 1914 Grand Prix Opel which originally competed in the 1914 Lyons French Grand Pris driven by Carl Joerns; a 1905 Rolls Royce 20 H.P. reconstructed from two identical chassis No. 40520 and No. 26350 replicating the Tourist Trophy Car driven by Percy Northey in the Isle of Man event in 1905; 1912 Rolls Royce; along with the 1923 Rolls Royce 20 H.P.; 1929 Supercharged 4 1/2 litre Bentley, which was the original number 2 car of the Henry Birkin/Dorothy Paget team of road racing cars. Sears personally rebuilt the car after purchasing it in 1955, and covered a mile at an average speed of 125.676 mph in 1959 proving the successful rebuild.
