New York: The Literary Guild, 1930. hardcover. Book VG: spine sunned, shelf wear, text clean, binding tight./no DJ. 8vo 364pp. from Preface: "The family whose story is told in this volume (and with which I am in no way connected) is the most distinguished in the United States. Suddenly passing from village obscurity into international fame in the latter part of the eighteenth century, it has ever since maintained a preeminent position, due neither to great wealth nor to a hereditary title, but to character and sheer intellectual ability. It is this, in part, which gives it a unique interest, although the life of efach of its members here chronicled ahs an interest also of its own. The volume, however, is not intended to be merely a series of biographies. It is essentially a biography of a family, thrown against the changing background of its times for a hundred and fifty years." #01692.

Book VG: mild shelf wear, toning and offset to paste downs and endpapers, text clean, binding tight./DJ G: chipping and edge wear, clipped, age toning.. 8vo 245pp. from front flap: "This kindly, witty, human, and most entertaining book might be fairly entitled a 'Mirror' of the Church of England--at least as regards that human and personal side which is one of the special glories of Ecclesia Anglicana. The English Church is not without saints of the parsonage, but she is probably unrivalled in the production of 'characters,' especially in her country vicarages and rectories. Mr. Addison's book is built up on the life-stories of such parsons, the telling of which could not easily be bettered, and a feast is provided for those who love human nature in its oddities and its more vigorous failings as well as in its nobilities." #02139.

Harvard, Massachussetts: Harvard Common Press, 1981. first thus. hardcover. Book VG+: clean, square, tight, unmarked./DJ VG: color bleed at bottom of DJ, else near fine, NOT clipped ($8.95). J. Streeter Fowke. 12mo 92pp. with introduction by William Henry Harrison. from front flap: "In a twilight drizzle, a large wagon bearing an ill-assorted load of visionaries, philosophers, and children approaches the red farmhouse where transcendental salvation lies: Fruitlands. True, the property boasts only about ten ancient apple tress, but the founders of this 1843 utopian commune firmly believe that "plenteous orchards were soon to be evoked from their inner consciousness." So begins Louisa May Alcott's light-hearted account of her girlhood year at Bronson Alcott's short-lived communal experiment. Transcendental Wild Oats satirizes the men whose ideas were to have come to fruition in the Fruitlands experiment, and pokes mild fun at the practical value of those ideas." #01676c2.
