Description: This is Edwin Way Teale's illustrated with 142 photos that he had taken in 1945. Along with an introduction to each chapter; his photographs help to annotate the context in which Thoreau worked and explored. Teale was there at the time that Roland Wells Robbins was excavating the exact site of Thoreau's cabin at Walden and so there is a photo Roland at work. The photos also present a view of the changes of the 100 plus years since Thoreau had written Walden.

This is from the book's forward:
"Unfortunately for many Americans who know Italian cookery only through the common run of Italian restaurants, this joy in a good table is not an ingredient that lends itself readily to commercial success … The good Italian restaurant is a joy indeed, but one is not always easy to find. And unless you do find one, there is only one way to get a good Italian meal, you have to prepare it at home! ... Miss Rose Source has had the good fortune to be born the joyous daughter of a joyous mother, and to learn at their source, the celebrations of the true Italian home kitchen. In THIS book, she compiled her learning for all to share! "

From the preface: "The following questions make a complete set of the Examination Papers (except on the subject of Geometry) which have been used for admission to Harvard College since 1860. No papers on Geometry are given previous to 1866, as the requisites ofr admission to theat department were changed in theat year. The papers on Trigonometry previous to 1871 are for examination for advanced standing; since then, for admission to Course II."
I wonder how many people were accepted to Harvard based on their study of this book. The original owner's name & other information is penciled in the front page. Hard to make it out, but he wrote Class '74 so presumably he got this in time to prepare for the exam.

Presumed First Edition - Rare
Beautiful Thoughts from French & Italian Authors with English Translations and Lives of the Authors
Pub. Edward Howell, Liverpool, 1866
Hardcover. Originally three quarter leather. The spine was missing and I made a reasonable replacement with Torinoko Gampi japanese paper - Fraying to the remaining leather.
Marbled covers and endpaper, with all edges marbled as well.
Edges worn to boards on the spine tips and corners, with surface rubbing to the covers.
A few pencil marks otherwise the pages clean. The first several pages through the preface have some chipping along the edge. Some pages were reconnected with Japanese repair tissue (kitakata). I noticed while photographing that pages 341 to 348 (from within the middle signature are no longer connected. So most of the book is tight, but alas, not all. See pictures
