Description:
Springfield (Mass.): Horace S. Taylor, Printer, 1847. 8vo.  190 x 117 mm., [7 ½ x 4 ¾ inches].  78 [1] pp.  Original printed wrappers; some minor chipping to spine and corners, but otherwise a good copy. Short-title catalogue of books of about 2,000 books, in the fields of American and European history, general biography, religion, encyclopedias and grammar books, miscellaneous literature, fiction, novels, and romance, geography, maps and charts, voyages and travel, natural history, political economy, rhetoric, and Americana. The Springfield Institute Library, an outgrowth of the Springfield Library Company, merged with the Young Men's Literary Society in 1857 to become the City Library Association, a precursor of Public Library System that was to evolve in the third quarter of the 19th century.  The catalogue resembles many "private" society libraries of its day, with a collection of general interest books for a growing educated class.  These institute libraries were a driving force for… Read More

Description:
Washington: Printed by Gales and Seaton, 1840. 8vo. 215 x 140 mm., [8 ½ x 5 ½ inches].  14 pp.  Original green printed wrappers; removed from a tract volume, spine paper missing, otherwise very good copy. First edition of the constitution of the National Institution, which was organized to ensure that the legacy of John Smithson was secured for the nation and that it be dedicated to the promotion of science in America.  It became the repository of the artifacts collected during the U. S. Expedition to the West, collections that were transferred to the Smithsonian after the NIPS was absorbed by Smithsonian Institution in the 1850's.  As one might suspect many of America's most prominent scientists, politicians, and businessmen were part of the governing body and members in the institution when it was organized in 1840.
