Chicago: Rand McNally & Co., 1911
"First Edition" on title-page, but clearly misleading; in fact, the Rand McNally "Business Atlas" had been produced for some time by 1900. The present copy formerly of the Free Library of Philadelphia, with its rubber-stamp to title-page and a few other leaves. Tipped-in is an ad for the South American version. The atlas gives excellent city views including railroads, steam lines, etc. A fair copy externally with worn or frayed joints & corners; title page has creasing & tears, still many bright maps, thus very good but for some stamps & the usual finger-soiling.

Columbus: H. Miller, 1859
Sabin 5800 - In actuality, more of a history of the modern African slave trade than its pretense of antiquity. Upper corner bumped, head of spine end worn; front hinge very weak, foxed as usual, else very good. (100/150)

The first four issues of the periodical of the once promising American Utopian experiment, the Oneida Community, which flourished for over 30 years under the leadership of its founder, John Noyes, editor of the above. Also known as "Bible Communists" or "Perfectionists" the group was notorious for a controversial ideal, the complex marriage, wherein every man was mated to every woman and vice-versa, which was intended for procreative causes. Though famed for a crafty invention, a certain steel-trap, the group lost societal approval and was met with harsh criticism by their neighbors over the issue of complex marriage around the time of this publication. The subtitle of the journal reads "Devoted to the Enlargement and Perfection of Home," but at the heart of the articles are workers and "the common good." Disbound copies with stabholes in the gutter margin, light wear about the edges, but only lightly foxed, thus very good, scarce first issues. (200/300)
