Lawrence, KS: Privately Printed by William E. Morris, Jr. (1st Edition, December 1906). Hardcover with red textured boards and black titles/illustration, 110 pages, heavy stock, cream-colored. No dust jacket was issued. Signed by the author on the Foreward page. Clean and unmarked, with a square, tight binding. llustrated throughout with original postcards, both color and black-and-white, mounted on individual pages with corners inserted into slits, as in a photograph album. Frontispiece photo is an original studio portrait of the author, mounted with glue, protected by tissue guard. Photo and postcards have left faint corresponding toned areas on pages opposite. Includes a Family Record starting in 1743 in North Wales, and Supplementary Notes. This is a deaccessioned museum copy. A rare book, lovely and unusual!

ABOUT THE BOOK: Privately printed in 1906 for relatives and friends of William E. Morris, Jr., Lawrence, Kansas. Not numbered, but likely not many printed. The book is a daily account of life on board Cunard ocean liners Umbria, Saxonia, Caronia, and Ivernia; visits with family in England and North Wales (Rhyl and Rhuddlan); travels around England, Wales, Scotland, and Ireland detailing tourist stops. He writes of his experience touring steerage on one return trip on the Saxonia steamer to the United States: "Some 1,900 Russian Jews were passengers in the steerage....A more dejected, wretched-looking lot of human beings it would be hard to find. Their condition was pitiable, indeed. Now they were trying to recuperate from seasickness....Yesterday afternoon, in company with a fellow-passenger, I went through the steerage. Such a sight as met my eyes I will not soon forget! Fathers, mothers and children huddled together here and there like a lot of beasts--some eating and drinking, some doing one thing and another--anything to pass the monotony of the voyage. The odor here is anything but pleasant, and coming in contact with the Russian emigrant makes it almost beyond endurance. I was very glad to leave this place and go where air and sunlight were plentiful."

FOREWARD: "Having had the good fortune of making two visits to Europe during the years of 1903 and 1905, and keeping a diary of both of my journeys, thought, perhaps, the perusual of my rambles would afford a slight degree of pleasure to others, I have decided to issue this little book for gratuitous distribution to my relatives and friends. Mistakes, if there be any, I trust will be overlooked, as this is my first effort. Conveying to the recipient my highest compliments and will wishes, I am, Sincerely yours," (signed by author)

Condition is Very Good: Recased using original boards sometime in last 40 years. Modern endpapers. No interior writing, occasional foxing, some smudges, old corner folds. Small hole pp.13/14 affecting a few letters. Binding is sound. 160 pages with 4 plates and 4 engravings embedded in text all included in pagination. Contents bound at end as usual with this book. The plates and engravings are same topics and locations as the 1842 edition but are by a different engraver. True first edition is 1835 in either New York or Pennsylvania. See Howes S843; Ayer 272; Field 1470; Graff 3930 and OCLC: 35730821. Please see images of the book you will receive. Notes: putting an accurate date on this edition is problematic. Nelson began publishing in 1854 so definitely after that. WorldCat suggests "187?" which is reasonable looking at materials used.… Read More

A fine copy of Russell Kirk's (1918-1994) memoirs, signed by his wife, Annette Kirk, to whom he dedicated the book. Widely celebrated as a founding father of modern intellectual conservatism, Russell Kirk-the Sage of Mecosta-set out in The Sword of Imagination to describe his participation in the intellectual, social, philosophical, and political contests of the twentieth century. Kirk wrote the book in the third person in order to tell the story of a young boy coming of age in the railroad yards outside of Detroit and maturing into one of the most influential political minds of his generation. Perhaps best remembered for his movement-defining book The Conservative Mind (1953), throughout his life Kirk wielded… Read More

The first cinema, the Asakusa Denikikan, was opened in Tokyo in 1903 and within 13 years 300 cinemas had sprung up throughout the country... (The author) focuses on the historical development of Japanese film, illustrated by a series of typical Japanese film posters. She details an industry and an art form shaped by the competing and merging forces of traditional culture and of economic and technological innovation." Edgewear, creases to bottom and bottom and top corners of front cover, soil on bottom and light soil to outside pages.
