Here is an amazing find. Volumes one and two of the Civil War Historic novel by JT Headley titled, The Great Rebellion. Vol. one was published in 1864 and volume two in 1866. These books were both the property of the Norristown Public Library who must have made the decision to preserve these wonderful, rare Civil War first edition classic by having them both professionally rebound. The work is truly fine and the original steel engravings are some of the most incredible I have ever seen. The signatures beneath the portraits of Lincoln and Johnson appear as if the famed Presidents had signed them in person. I have my own set of original first edition copies of this two part masterpiece, but for someone who not only wants to own a set in first edition, but be able to read them or show them off without fear of the bindings falling apart, this is a fantastic find.  Buell & Blanchard, Washington, 1852, Freedom National: Slavery Sectional.

This is the original antique 1906 edition of "Excavations at Nippur", Part II (part 2), an archaeology work. On the cover above the work's title it states, "Part II, Babylonian Expedition of the University of Pennsylvania". Below the title it states, "Plans, Details and Photographs of the Buildings, with Numerous Objects Found in Them During the Excavations of 1889, 1890, 1893-1896, 1899-1900, with Descriptive Text by Clarence S. Fisher". At the bottom of the cover is the city of publication, Philadelphia, and the date, 1906. While we have listed this as a "book", this is not a bound piece. It has an outer brown folder or folded cover, with loose pages inside. As this is a continuation or the second part of a group set, it has been set up to "pick up" after Part I, without a title page or any introduction whatsoever. The first thing within the brown covers are text pages which are actually uncut large folded sheets. There are 2 of these uncut sheets, with the first encompassing pages 41 thru 48, and the second pages 49 thru 56 (in one of the images we've shown both sides of one of these uncut page sheets). Following these are 12 loose sheets or pages of photographic images. There are three differing paper types used, one for the brown outer cover, a second for the uncut text pages and the first 5 pages of plates or photos, and a third smoother and whiter stock for the later 7 photographic pages. Sizewise, overall this piece measures 16 1/2 x 11 1/4 inches with a "depth" of about 1/2 inch. This "book" or work appears to be part 2 of a six part set. On the back outer cover printed copy states, "Excavations at Nippur. In this work are presented the architectural results of the various expeditions sent out by the University of Pennsylvania. Plans of the various buildings with details have been prepared from the surveys and measurements made during the campaign of 1899-1900, and from those made in 1899 by P. H. Field, in 1890 by Colman d' Erney, and in 1894 by Joseph Meyer. The size of the volume will be 11 x 16 inches, allowing the plans to be reproduced at an adequate scale. As planned, the work will be divided into six parts, as follows: Part I a. Topography, b. The City Walls. Part II The Fortress", etc. After this the back cover describes what is in Parts 3 thru 6, under which it states, "The introduction, contents and an analytic index will be issued with the last part. The price will be $2.00 per part. Requests for copies may be sent to Clarence S. Fisher, Lock Box 165, Rutledge, Delaware Co., PA." No publisher information appears anywhere on the work. Given the uncut pages and information on the back cover, it is possible that this is a pre-publication copy of a piece which was published by either the University of Pennsylvania press or the author Clarence Fisher himself, and that it is a "first edition". We also have Part I of this work which we have listed separately (in case someone already has one part but not the other), so please see our other listings. We do not have the other four parts. For perspective, Part 1 has a 1905 publication date (rather than the 1906 shown here) and text pages which end with page 40 (so this one directly picks up from there). Part I also has a number of pull-out diagrams, but none of those are included in Part II. As all pages are loose and unbound, we also don't know if we have all the pages that were originally included in this archaeology work. We will list below the illustrative plates that are present, but they are not in sequential order, so we don't know if the "numbers" missing were included in the other parts of this work or not at all. We are therefore selling this as found, as received and as is. We have provided 8 images to show this Part II, including the covers, sample text pages and sample photo pages. These "books" came out of an older person's home. As brief background information garnered from a bit of internet research, Nippur was an ancient Sumerian city in Babylonia in Ancient Mesopotamia, located on the Shatt-en-Nil canal, between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, in the desert of what is now Iraq, about 100 miles southeast of Baghdad. Nippur was considered the religious center of Mesopotamia for thousands of years, where the supreme Sumerian god, Enlil, was thought to have created man. This gave Nippur great political importance to such kings as Hammurabi of Babylon and Ashurbanipal of Assyria. The first American expedition to do archaeological work in Mesopotamia was sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania at Nippur in 1888, with the college continuing to dig at Nippur until 1900. The image pages included are as follows (we are listing the titles and descriptions as they are printed on the pages): Plate 3, Nippur: N. E. City Wall, two photos on page, 1 Conduit in Angle of Naram Sin Wall, 2 Pottery Kiln on Inside Face of Wall. Plate 32, Nippur: Palace, Court of the Men, From the Northeast. Plate 11a, Nippur: Fortress, two photos on page, 1 Excavations S. E. of Citadel, Showing Casing Wall of S. E. Projection, the Core of Sun-Dried Bricks Having Been Removed, and 2 Portion of Walls of Rooms 65-64, Fortress Platform Removed to Assur-ban-apal Level. Plate 12b, Nippur: Fortress, two images on page, 1 S. E. Projection of Citadel, 2 Detail of E. Corner of Above, Workmen Removing the Upper Stage. Plate 15a, Nippur: Temple Area, two photos on page, 1 Excavations Looking East from Top of Ziggurrat, 2 Another View of Above, at a Later Date. Plate 2c, Nippur: City Wall, two photos on page, 1 Side View of Pre-Sargonic Staircase, 2 Front of Staircase, Showing Distortion of Steps of Period II. Plate 5, Nippur: City Wall, two images on page, 1 Excavation Inside Pre-Sargonic Wall XI, Showing Wall of Small Bricks, and 2 Brick Steps (?) in Upper Stratum, XI, Marked 22 on Plan (Pl. 4, 2). Plate 7, Nippur: City Wall, two photos on page, 1 Wall in X, View at 13-14 on Plan (Pl. 6), and 2 Another View of Above, Showing Cross Wall at 13. Plate 7A, Nippur: City Wall, two photos on page, 1 Wall in X, Facade at 6-7 on Plan (Pl. 6), and 2 Wall in X, Drain 25 on Plate 6. Plate 8A, Nippur: Fortress, two photos on page, 1 Rooms in E. Section, From Top of Citadel, Looking S. E. over Outer Wall, Tablet Hill, V, in the Background, and 2 Room 113, The Structures in the N. Angle of the Fortress. Plate 21A, Nippur: Temple, two photos on page, 1 View from Mound IX, Looking N. E. Showing the Ruins of the Temple (Fortress) and Tablet Hill, and 2 Nearer View of Above, Showing Row of Small Rooms of Fortress (?) Period, In background can be seen Second Stage of Ziggurrat, with its Double Ramp. Plate 23C, Nippur: Temple, two photos on page, 1 and 2 showing N. E. Face and N. W. Face of Citadel, Core of Large Sun-dried Brick and Ziggurrat, Core of Small Sun-dried Brick, N. Angle (cut away) of the Ziggurrat. As with Part 1, condition to us seems very good for a piece of this age, with the usual aging, wear flaws. Hopefully you can see a lot of this condition in the many images. Part 2 doesn't have as much of the dark, blackish darkening seen on Part 1, but there is some, with this seen primarily on Plate 2C as dark lines on page near the edges, on Plate 5 along the bottom edge, a bit at the outermost right and bottom edges on Plate 21A, a touch on the right edge of Plate 23C, along the bottom edge of the inside back cover, and edge darkening on the very top edge of the uncut text pages. There are many dark/black finger print smudges on the backside of Plate 15a, and a bit of light spotting on the covers. There is expected aging or the usual light browning aged look to many pages and a bit of light brown spotting, but nothing bad (many of the photo plate pages have a clean look except for the edge blackening mentioned above). There is some extra paper at the top right corner of Plate 8A. There is a hard triangular fold crease/line on the upper right front cover, an indented vertical (not hard) crease line on text page 41 at the top, a small curved creasing at the bottom of the last five plates (like something circular pushed into these at one point along the bottom edge), and wrinkling/creasing along the bottom edge of the front and back covers. The outer brown cover is ripped at the lower folded edge, with a piece of this folded back in a triangle creating a 1/2 inch space along this outer "bound" edge, with other wrinkling and tears along this "bound" edge. Certainly not new or mint looking, but to us still in pretty good shape for a piece of this age that consists of all loose pages as designed/made. This could make a nice addition to any collection of archaeology books, archaeological items, etc., particularly for one relating to Mesopotamia, Sumeria, Babylonia or Nippur in specific. Could also make a nice addition for a collection relating to Iraq or Middle East history, as well as an interesting additon for a collection relating to the University of Pennsylvania or UPenn and it's archaeological digs and history.

Believed to be signed by the author. The 1865 1st Edition Civil War Novel ‘The Story of the Great March’ by George Ward Nichols. This book is essentially a journal kept by Nichol’s while serving under famed Civil War Union General William Sherman as Sherman cut through the Confederate heartland on his legendary March to the Sea. The book was published by Harper & Brothers and became an immediate Best Seller. Within the pages of this rare 1865 first edition of The Great March, Nichols describes his experiences during the arduous campaign in a way that could only be written by someone who was there to witness the events as they took place. The reddish brown cloth cover is in remarkably good condition for its age and the gold likeness of the Forty Rounds medallion is in fine shape. The book has the original fold out map still attached and in beautiful condition. There is a rice paper insert between the book’s first two lithographs, which has kept both pages in fantastic, crisp, clear condition. You can see on some of the photos how the old ink bled slightly from page to page and I have also included photos of those pages having to do with copyright, or lack there of, and publishing dates and acknowledgments. I have included a photo of one of the blank pages preceding the credits on which I believe the author has written the number of the book as he sold and then signed them, as well as the name of the buyer, the town he was in at the time and the initials in the order they would have been written during his military service. NWG; last name, middle, then first. A simple search of George Ward Nichols led to the links where I found his initials in this same order. This wonderful 1865 novel of General William T. Sherman’s Historic Civil War March to the Sea is itself a piece of rare history that deserves a place of honor for decades to come. Free shipping to the lower 48

A Set (2) 200 Years A Bicentennial Illustrated History of the United States. by U.S. News & World Report total pages 709  D-Day The Greatest Invasion A People's History by Dan Van Der Vat, introduction by John S. D. Eisenhower author of General Ike Pages 176  The Roosevelt Women by Betty Boyd Caroli pages 510- Genealogical Chart  This is the original antique 1905 edition of "Excavations at Nippur", an archaeology work. On the title page above the work's title it states "Babylonian Expedition of the University of Pennsylvania". Below the title it states, "Plans, Details and Photographs of the Buildings, with Numerous Objects Found in Them During the Excavations of 1889, 1890, 1893-1896, 1899-1900, with Descriptive Text by Clarence S. Fisher". At the bottom of the title page is the city of publication, Philadelphia, and the date, 1905. While we have listed this as a "book", this is not a bound piece. It has an outer brown folder or folded cover, with loose pages inside. After an initial photographic plate page and the title page, the actual text pages are uncut large folded sheets. There are 5 of these uncut sheets, with the first encompassing pages 1 thru 8, the second pages 9 thru 16, the third pages 17 thru 24, the fourth pages 25 thru 32 and the final pages 33 thru 40 (in one of the images we've shown both sides of one of these uncut page sheets). Following these are 9 loose sheets or pages of photographic images, and then 9 loose sheets or pages that are pull-out or unfolding diagrams. There are five differing paper types used, one for the brown outer cover, a second for the first photographic page and uncut text pages, a third more textured paper for the title page, a fourth smoother and whiter stock for the later photographic pages, and a fifth thinner, more transparent type stock for the pull-out diagrams. There is also a separate small tissue liner used to cover the initial page image. Sizewise, overall this piece measures 16 1/2 x 11 1/4 inches with a "depth" of about 5/8 inch. This "book" or work appears to be part 1 of a six part set. On the back outer cover printed copy states, "Excavations at Nippur. In this work are presented the architectural results of the various expeditions sent out by the University of Pennsylvania. Plans of the various buildings with details have been prepared from the surveys and measurements made during the campaign of 1899-1900, and from those made in 1899 by P. H. Field, in 1890 by Colman d' Erney, and in 1894 by Joseph Meyer. The size of the volume will be 11 x 16 inches, allowing the plans to be reproduced at an adequate scale. As planned, the work will be divided into six parts, as follows: Part I a. Topography, b. The City Walls. Part II The Fortress", etc. After this the back cover describes what is in Parts 3 thru 6, under which it states, "The introduction, contents and an analytic index will be issued with the last part. The price will be $2.00 per part. Requests for copies may be sent to Lock Box 165, Rutledge, Del. Co., PA." No publisher information appears anywhere on the work, and there is no copy on the reverse side of the title page. Given the uncut pages and information on the back cover, it is possible that this is a pre-publication copy of a piece which was published by the University of Pennsylvania press and that it is a "first edition". We also have Part II of this work which we will be listing separately, so please see our other listings. We do not have the other four parts. As all pages are loose and unbound, we also don't know if we have all the pages that were originally included in this archaeology work. We will list below the illustrative plates and pull-out sheets that are present, but they are not in sequential order, so we don't know if the "numbers" missing were included in the other parts of this work or not at all. We are therefore selling this as found, as received and as is. We have provided 8 images to show the covers and some of the varied pages. These "books" came out of an older person's home. As brief background information garnered from a bit of internet research, Nippur was an ancient Sumerian city in Babylonia in Ancient Mesopotamia, located on the Shatt-en-Nil canal, between the Euphrates and Tigris rivers, in the desert of what is now Iraq, about 100 miles southeast of Baghdad. Nippur was considered the religious center of Mesopotamia for thousands of years, where the supreme Sumerian god, Enlil, was thought to have created man. This gave Nippur great political importance to such kings as Hammurabi of Babylon and Ashurbanipal of Assyria. The first American expedition to do archaeological work in Mesopotamia was sponsored by the University of Pennsylvania at Nippur in 1888, with the college continuing to dig at Nippur until 1900. The image pages included are as follows (we are listing the titles and descriptions as they are printed on the pages): Initial photographic page, Plate 23a, Nippur: Temple, Water Conduit on the S. W. Face of the Ziggurrat. Plate 1, Nippur: Topography, with two images on page, 1, a photo labelled Fragment of a Clay Tablet Containing the Plan of the Enceinte of Nippur During the Early Period, 2, a diagam labelled Plan of Nippur Drawn from Fragment, Showing Location of Temple, Walls, Gates and Canals. Plate 2A, Nippur: City Wall, Excavations Along the Line of the N. E. City Wall from Top of Mound VII, Looking N. W. Plate 2B, Nippur: City Wall, Front View of Stepped Approach to Gate in N. E. City Wall. Plate 12A, Nippur: Fortress, two photos on page, first of Northeast Projection of Citadel, Showing Level of Inner Fortress, etc., and second of Continuation of Above, with Portion of Panel at N. Angle. Plate 18, Nippur: Temple Area, Excavations in the Temple Court, S. E. of the Ziggurrat, Looking N. W. from Great Enclosing Wall of Later Fortress. Plate 18A, Nippur: Temple, two photos on page, first of Detail View of Excavations from E. corner of Ziggurrat looking South, showing relative positions of Arch, Curb and Rope Pattern Vase, and second of Side view of same, etc. Plate 21, Nippur: Temple, View of Mound III from City Wall (XI) Looking South, The ruins of the Temple of Bel and the Fortress Overlying It. Plate 24, Nippur: Tablet Hill, Portion of Excavations in "Library", N. E. Portion of Tablet Hill (Cf. Plate 25). Plate 30, Nippur: Palace, two photos on page, first of Excavations in Great Court as they appeared in 1893, second of Detail View of Southeast Row of Columns in Great Court. The pullout pages included are as follows: Plate 2, City Wall, N.E. Section Staircase. Plate 3, Pottery Kiln Inside N.E. City Wall (this one is not a pull-out, but a one page drawing of similar style on similar paper). Plate 4, City Wall, N.E. Section, Mound XI. Plate 6, City Wall, S. Section, Mound X. Plate 11, Nippur: Fortress, Plan of S.E. Rooms. Plate 14, Nippur: Ground Plan of the Fortress. Plate 17, Nippur Temple Area, Section Through Strata. Plate 25, Tablet Hill, E. Section. Plate 26, Tablet Hill, W. Section. Condition to us seems very good for a piece of this age, with the usual aging, wear flaws. Hopefully you can see a lot of this condition in the many images. There is a dark, blackish darkening on the cover along the bottom edge and some on the upper side edge both in elongated triangular fashion, with this blackish darkening also occurring along the bottom and side edges of the initial photographic page, title page, some of the text pages, a bit on the outer edges of the photographic plate pages, some on the upper pull-out pages and on the upper back cover. There is light brown spotting on a number of pages, including some of the text pages, Plate 1 (this has grayish spotting), and on the pull-outs, and a few corner triangular folding. There is a large triangular fold crease/line on the back cover. Some pages, such as the title page, have some of the usual browning aged look (but many of the photo plate pages have a clean look except for the edge blackening mentioned above). The top edges of pages, including the outer brown covers, have wrinkling, tiny tears, used old look. The outer brown cover is ripped at the lower folded edge, with a piece of this missing about 1 1/2 inches in length from the bottom, with other wrinkling, tears along this outer "bound" edge. Certainly not new or mint looking, but to us still in pretty good shape for a piece of this age that consists of all loose pages as designed/made. Surprisingly, the pull-out pages appear to have crisp edges and clean pull-outs without tears, as if they haven't been handled much if at all. This could make a nice addition to any collection of archaeology books, archaeological items, etc., particularly for one relating to Mesopotamia, Sumeria, Babylonia or Nippur in specific. Could also make a nice addition for a collection relating to Iraq or Middle East history, as well as an interesting additon for a collection relating to the University of Pennsylvania or UPenn and it's archaeological digs and history.

Author Johann Arndt (Hymn-Writer) Born: December 27, 1555 - Ballensted, Anhalt, Germany; Died: 1621 = The German Lutheran theologian, Johann Arndt, studied in several universities. He was at Helmstadt in 1576; at Wittenberg in 1577. At Wittenberg the crypto-Calvinist controversy was then at its height, and he took the side of Melanchthon and the crypto-Calvinists. He continued his studies in Strassburg, under the professor of Hebrew, Johannes Pappus, a zealous Lutheran, the crown of whose life's work was the forcible suppression of Calvinistic preaching and worship in the day, and who had great influence over him. In Basel, again, he studied theology under Simon Sulzer, a broad-minded divine of Lutherah sympathies, whose aim was to reconcile the churches of the Helvetic and Wittenberg confessions. In 1581 he went back to Ballenstedt, but was soon recalled to active life by his appointment to the pastorate at Badeborn in 1583. After some time his Lutheran tendencies exposed him to arouse anger of the authorities, who were of the Reformed Church. Consequently, in 1590 he was deposed for refusing to remove some fixtures from his church and discontinue the use of exorcism at baptism. He found an asylum in Quedlinburg (1590), and afterwards was transferred to St Martin's church at Brunswick in 1599. Arndt's fame rests on his writings. These were mainly of a mystical and devotional kind, and were inspired by St Bernard, J Tauler and Thomas Kempis. His principal in work, Wahres Christentum (1606-1609), which has been translated into most European languages, has served as the foundation of many books of devotion, both Roman Catholic and Protestant. Arndt here dwells upon the mystical union between the believer and Christ, and endeavours, by drawing attention to Christ's or e in His people, to correct the purely forensic side of the reformation theology, which paid almost exclusive attention with the little anonymous book, Deutsche Theologie. He published an edition of it and called attention to its merits a special preface. After Wahres Christentum, his best-known work is Paradiesgartlein aller christlichen Tugenden, which was published in 1612. Several of his sermons are published in R. Nesselmann's Ubers. u. die Entw. d. chr. Predigt (1858). Arndt has always been held in very high repute by the German Pietists. The founder of Pietism, Philipp Jakob Spener, repeatedly called attention to him and his writings, and even went so far as to compare him with Plato! A collected edition of his works was published in Leipzig in 1734. A valuable account of Arndt is to be found in Aschmann's Essai sur la vie, etc., de J. Arndt. 1156 pages ( 924 + 232)  This is a First Edition written by Charles Clay entitled 'Long Live The Queen...George VI to Elizabeth II. This came from the Junior High School Library in Fort Campbell, Kentucky as there is the familiar blue inkstamp inside the book. The spine of the book itself is intact, however, the linen type cloth that covers the book is loose at the spine. Inside the back cover are remnants of where the library card was stuck...it has been removed and paper residue is left.

What an interesting piece of pre Civil War history this is. The book is called The Anthem Dulcimer and was published by F.J. Huntington, Broome Street in the year 1856. The book is a collection of tunes, anthems, chants, etc. from the best foreign and American composers. Plus it contains an elementary music teacher’s course of instruction along with choice anthems and 'The Most Complete Collection of Sacred Music ever published.' To even still exist 153 years after it was printed is amazing enough, but the signatures and notations made by the books owners may provide a link to someone's family history. The owners were Adam and Jacob Krebs. and I am pretty sure the word Pensilvany would indicate they were from the state of Pennsylvania. Yes there are torn pages, even missing pages. Yes the book is beaten and worn, but wouldn't any of us be in worse shape if we were as old as this great old book and the collection of amazing and rare music contained within.   The Coming Fury, The Centennial History of the Civil War Bruce Catton The first volume of a series on the Civil War. In words that weave history into art, Bruce Catton has created a book about the coming of the Civil War that is at once a broad canvas and a revealing close-up. "The Coming fury is conceived as classic tragedy; as a series of ever-narrowing circles of choice with fewer and fewer men to make them, enclosing, finally, but two men faced with almost no choice at all." (From the front jacket flap) Doubleday & Co., 1961. Hard cover with dust jacket, 6-1/4 x 9-1/2 inches, 565 pages. Book has underlining throughout.
