Hardcover. Condición: Good. "The Moderns : Essays in Literary Criticism" by John Freeman was published in 1917 by Thomas Y. Crowell in hardcover format. The book is now OP. The essays cover the following authors : George Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells, Thomas Hardy, Maurice Maeterlinck, Henry James, Joseph Conrad, Coventry Patmore, Francis Thompson, and Robert Bridges. What is interesting to me about these essays, is that they were written about authors who were still currently producing works - they were contemporary with Freeman; hence the title. They were the modern writers of that time . their books were fresh and new , their careers, some of them, still evolving. I find Freeman's choice of authors to be prescient as regards their literary value. I find it interesting that Freeman focuses on Wells's social planning and prophesies for the coming times. I also find it interesting that - aside from "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" and "Jude the Obscure" Freeman treats Thomas Hardy as the major poet he was. This is in agreement with hardy himself, who felt he was, foremost, a poet; the modern world (mostly) treats him only as a novelist. I won't say further about this book , except to say that it is a very meaty book, full of critical opinions, and satisfying to boot. ************************************************** John Frederick Freeman was an Edwardian English poet and literary critic whose life was all too short. It seems to me that Freeman, recipient of the Hawthornden Prize for poetry, has much to offer for a serious reader. Had he lived past his 49th year, he may well have entered the literary pantheon, joining the very authors (contemporary with his time) upon whom he chose to write. As it is he seems mostly forgotten by the tide of literary memory. Freeman was friends with Walter De La Mare, who championed Freeman's talent. Had he lived longer and produced more, he likely would not be so obscure. ************************************************* TITLE : The Moderns - Essays in Literary Criticism / AUTHOR : John Freeman (John Frederick Freeman , 1880 - 1929) / IMPRINT : Thomas Y. Crowell / PLACE : New York / DATE : !917 / EDITION : First American Edition (with title cancel) / STATUS : OP - Crowell is no longer in business, and the book is not listed on any other publisher's website. / PHYSICAL DETAILS : Trade Hardcover; title page is a cancel; 341 pages; 5" x 7 3/8"; cloth-covered boards and spine; gilt lettering stamped on spine and front cover. ************************************************ CONDITION --GOOD PLUS -- This is a previously owned book that remains clean and serviceable, with the following particulars noted : The book is signed in ink by the original owner (A.P. Noble . which is possibly Alonzo Pellet Noble 1865 - 1928 - buried in Chemung County, N. Y. - not far from where the book was found.) // EXTERIOR -- Spine extremities compressed , and also displaying modest amount of fraying; spine surface is somewhat faded, also displaying moderate surface rub; gilt lettering on spine darkened; gilt lettering on front board still bright; front board has mild surface rub; rear board has a bit of transparent damp staininG (this of no great effect); rear board also has a bit of minute spotting - else the cover is clean. Text-block edges display a bit of weathering, else clean. / BINDING -- Hinges are slightly cracked (exposed thread and mull), but the whole remains fairly solid. No leaves are detached or loose./ INTERIOR -- Binding thread has caused some discoloration; the book remains partially unopened - a few leaves have been separated without due care, creating a jagged fore-edge (I've shown pictures of a couple of page spreads depicting this - see if you can enlarge them to see the edges more clearly) . As stated above , the title page is a cancel (a reprinted title page replacing one that has been cu out - which would likely be the original London title page). There are likely scattered small smudges and/or spots - but none are easily evident.

Blindstamp of the Franklin Institute in the bottom blank margin featuring a bust profile of Benjamin Franklin. Signed by James Ronaldson as President of Franklin Institute. Docketed with the Prothonotary on verso. Very Good. The Franklin Institute of the State of Pennsylvania for the Promotion of the Mechanic Arts, the name later shortened to The Franklin Institute, was founded in 1824. Its main purpose was to honor Benjamin Franklin and advance the use of his inventions, and to train artisans and mechanics in the fundamentals of science. In 1835, the Masonic Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania agreed to convey to the Franklin Institute the Masonic Hall and lot. This document is part of the purchase agreement. [Wahl: THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE.

Philadelphia: 1901. Pages 229-265]. James Ronaldson [1768-1841] was the first president of the Franklin Institute; he served from 1824 to 1841. A Scotsman who settled in Philadelphia in 1794, he partnered with Andrew Binney in 1796 to build one of the first type foundries in the United States. In 1806, he and Binney bought the type-foundry materials and tools that Benjamin Franklin shipped from France in the 1780's. The business made them wealthy. He later became the President of the Louisville Canal Company. Ronaldson was a friend of Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson. [Frazer: THE FRANKLIN INSTITUTE; ITS SERVICES AND DESERTS.

[4], 351, [1] pp.First Dutch edition of an important collection of accounts of recent English maritime expeditions, including Cook's first expedition, edited by John Hawkesworth. "John Byron, in the Dolphin, visited the Tuamoto Islands and Nikunau in what would later be called the Gilbert Islands . . . Captain Wallis, also in the Dolphin, discovered the volcanic island of Tahiti, which he named King George III Island, and Moorea . . . Captain Carteret, in command of the Swallow, became separated from Captain Wallis and was feared lost. He discovered Pitcairn Island and some remote atolls in the South Seas. The first voyage under the not-yet-famous Captain Cook's command, on the Endeavour, was primarily of scientific nature . . . Entering the Pacific around Cape Horn, Cook reached Tahiti in 1769 and carried out the necessary astronomical observations. Excellent relations with the Tahitians were maintained, and Sir Joseph Banks . . . and Daniel C. Solander carried out extensive ethnological and botanical research. Leaving Tahiti in July, Cook discovered, named, and charted the Society Islands, and . . . explored New Zealand . . . Cook then headed towards Australia and discovered and charted the eastern coast . . ., naming the area New South Wales. Cook's discoveries won him prominence, promotion, and the opportunity to sail again. They also ensured John Hawkesworth's position in maritime literary history, as the official chronicler of Cook's first voyage'' (Hill).With some water stains at the head of 1 quire (O) and the top edge of the map dirty, but otherwise in fine condition and wholly untrimmed. First Dutch edition of 4 English maritime expeditions, including Cook's first expedition.l Beddie 658; cf. Hill 783; Holmes 5; Sabin 30945; O' Reilly & Reitman 367-370.

During this period he carried out archaeological excavations in the Nile valley. This unusual visual collection of "characters, costumes and modes of life in the valley of the Nile" is augmented by a commentary by the renowned orientalist and Egyptologist James Augustus St. John.Light foxing, affecting some plates, but still in good condition.

First edition of the extraordinary coloured plates of quadrupeds by the well-known French-American naturalist and painter John James Audubon (1785-1851), who, for this publication, worked together with his sons John Woodhouse and Victor Audubon. The plates are considered the finest animal prints published in America to this day. Unlike the Birds of America, it was produced entirely in the United States, making it the "largest successful color plate book project of 19th-century America" (Reese).After the publication of his highly acclaimed Birds of America, Audubon settled on the Hudson River and began working on the present series to document the animal life of North America. The plates were first published in 30 parts of 5 plates each and three separately published accompanying text volumes, written by John Bachman, appeared between 1846-1854. A second edition was published in 1856, but "the first edition is by far the best" (Sabin).Title-pages with some small scuff marks, a few plates with minor unobtrusively repaired tears along the edges. Binding skilfully restored. Complete set, with most plates in fine condition.l Buchanan, pp. 147-154; Nissen, ZBI 162; Reese 36; Sabin 2367.
