Malthus, Rev. T.R. An Essay on the Principle of Population
London Reeves and Turner 1888 Hardcover Fairly Good
Octavo, 551pp., Gilt lettered spine and embossed cover. Hinges broken and rear joint split. Old book plate. The book An Essay on the Principle of Population was first published anonymously in 1798 through J. Johnson (London). The author was soon identified as The Reverend Thomas Robert Malthus. While it was not the first book on population, it has been acknowledged as the most influential work of its era. Its 6th Edition was independently cited as a key influence by both Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace in developing the theory of natural selection. A key portion of the book was dedicated to what is now known as Malthus' Iron Law of Population. This theory suggested that growing population rates would contribute to a rising supply of labour that would inevitably lower wages. In essence, Malthus feared that continued population growth would lend itself to poverty.

They fought at Port Hudson, Louisiana, Chattanooga, Tennessee, Atlanta, Georgia, Plymouth, North Carolina, and Mobile, Alabama. They marched to the sea, dodged mortars and sharpshooters in the trenches, served on ships that captured New Orleans and blockaded the South, and languished and died in Andersonville and other Southern prisons. Where they Fell examines how 17 Rochester NY area regiments and batteries were involved in the battles, profiles several of their soldiers and explains how the reader can research the Civil War record of an ancestor who might have marched alongside them.

Matthews, William The Tragedy of Arthur: A Study of the Alliterative "Morte Arthure"
Berkeley University of California 1960 First Edition Hardcover Fine/Very Good
Octavo, 230pp., Dust Jacket is wrapped in a fresh Mylar protective sleeve. Jacket has a small chip. Otherwsie a very nice clean book. The Alliterative Morte Arthure is a 4346 line Middle English poem, retelling the latter part of the legend of King Arthur. The poem is one of the most significant works in the short-lived revival of alliterative verse in the 14th century. The author of the poem is unknown. In his history of Scotland, Andrew of Wyntoun mentions a poet called Huchoun (" little Hugh"), who he says made a "gret Gest of Arthure,/And ţe Awntyr of Gawane,/Ţe Pistil als of Suet Susane" [great history of Arthur,/And the Adventure of Gawain,/The Epistle also of Sweet Susan]. This "Gest of Arthure" has been claimed to be a reference to what is now known as the Alliterative Morte Arthure; but the fact that the Morte Arthure seems to have been written in a East Midlands dialect, the fact that Huchoun may have been Scottish, and the dialect of the extant Epistle of Sweet Susan, which appear to be that of North Yorkshire, all argue against "Huchoun"'s authorship. The only manuscript source for the Morte Arthure is the Lincoln or Thornton manuscript written sometime in the mid 15th century by a scribe called Robert Thornton, who clearly copied an older text, now lost.

Octavo, 416pp., Nice clean crisp book. Dust Jacket is wrapped in a fresh Mylar protective sleeve. This book includes part one: The History Of Rochester Libraries and part II: Lewis H. Morgan's European Journal. Early Library developments in Rochester New York, The Reynolds Library, University of Rochester Librraies, Ambrose Swasey Library, St. Bernards Seminary Library, Aristotle Among the Jesuits, Lewis H. Morgan's Journal Including Edinburgh,English Country and Town, London, Travelling the Continent, First Impressions of Italy, Rome and Its Galleries, The Roman Catholic Church, Further Travel in Italy, North of the Alps, Back to London, France; Paris, London again and the return journey. Morgan lived in Rochester NY. He is considered the Father of American Anthropology. He became interested in the Native Americans of his locality, and in 1847 he was made an adopted member of the Seneca tribe. His League of the Ho-de-no-sau-nee or Iroquois published 1851 is unexcelled among early descriptive reports. Morgan was interested in social organization, and developed a theory correlating kinship terminologies with forms of marriage and rules of descent, holding that matriarchal patterns had originally prevailed over all other kinship patterns. His Systems of Consanguinity and Affinity of the Human Family (1870) presents this principle. Ancient Society (1877), which classified the cultures of the world into progressive stages—savagery, barbarism, and civilization—attracted the attention of Marx and Engels, who interpreted its evolutionary doctrine as support for their materialistic theory of history. Morgan's work was accused of being overly speculative. The travel
