Merrill, Arch From Pumpkin Hook To Dumpling Hill
Rochester, Ny Stratford Press, Inc. 1969 First Edition Hardcover Very Good/No Jacket Photos/Illustrations
Octavo, 212pp., Lacks dust jacket but is signed by the author. Very seldom found signed. This was the author's last book. In 1923 Merrill became a copy reader with the Rochester, New York, newspaper the Democrat and Chronicle.[2] He was a reporter for the for the Rochester Journal-American from 1927 to 1937, and then returned to the Democrat and Chronicle as assistant city editor, and for the next 27 years,as Merrill recalled, he "held nearly every post in the city news room". There, in in 1939, he began writing the first of an eventual 1,650 stories and columns for the Sunday Democrat and Chronicle, primarily chronicling the history of Rochester and environs. These articles were collected and expanded to form Merrill's long string of non-fiction books. After retiring in 1963, he continued to write his column, "Arch Merrill's History", for 10 more years. A prolific writer, he was best known for his articles in the Sunday paper on history and folklore of the Genesse Valley and the Finger Lakes of upstate New York. Sometimes called the "Poet Laureate of Upstate New York", he authored a number of books, most of which are collections of his articles. His 1943 A River Ramble is an account of his walk of the entire length of the Genesee River, along with his notes on local history, folk tales, and people he met along the route. Merrill died July 15, 1974, and is buried in the Old Brighton Cemetery at the end of Hoyt Place in Rochester

Millen, George F. Evil and Evolution: An Attempt to Turn the Light of Modern Science on to the Ancient Mystery of Evil
London Macmillan 1896 First Edition Hardcover Good/No Jacket
Octavo, 184pp., Gilt lettered and decorated cover and spine. A few pencil marks in the margins of some pages. Otherwise nice. An Attempt to turn the light of modern science on to the ancient mystery of evil. Title page says, ;By the Author of 'The Social Horizon'. The existence of evil in the world is the standing riddle of all ages. This book is the outcome of an attempt to reconsider the subject in the light of the modern theory of Evolution. Readers may notice that it contains scarcely any reference to the Bible: no passages are quoted from it, no appeal is made to it. This book is intended for general readers, all of whom have a very vital interest in the world's sorrow and suffering, but many of whom are in doubt and perplexity as the degree of authority to be accorded to the Bible (part of preface). With chapters on:- Satan relegated to the Realms of Myth; Some Theories of the Purpose of Evil; The Fatherly Education Theory; The Evolutionary Explanation of Evil; "But for a Moment"; Satan from a Scientific Point of View; Natural Laws and Human Laws; The Limits of Necessary Suffering; How "Maladjustments" Originated; A Type of a Perfect Life; But is not "Maladjustment" Essential to Evolution; "Eat and be Eaten"; "Red in Tooth and Claw" not Necessary Evil; The Greatest of all Maladjustments; Evolution without Maladjustment; What Might have Been.

Moir, Alfred Caravaggio and His Copyists (Monographs on archaeology and fine arts)
New York New York University Press 1976 First Edition Hardcover Near Fine/No Jacket Illustrated
Quarto, 176pp., Nice clean crisp book. 126 monochrome illustrations. Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (29 September 1571 - 18 July 1610) was an Italian artist active in Rome, Naples, Malta, and Sicily between 1593 and 1610. His paintings, which combine a realistic observation of the human state, both physical and emotional, with a dramatic use of lighting, had a formative influence on the Baroque school of painting. Caravaggio trained as a painter in Milan under a master who had himself trained under Titian. In his early twenties Caravaggio moved to Rome where, during the late 16th and early 17th centuries, many huge new churches and palazzi were being built and paintings were needed to fill them. During the Counter-Reformation the Roman Catholic Church searched for religious art with which to counter the threat of Protestantism, and for this task the artificial conventions of Mannerism, which had ruled art for almost a century, no longer seemed adequate. Caravaggio's novelty was a radical naturalism which combined close physical observation with a dramatic, even theatrical, use of chiaroscuro that came to be known as Tenebrism, the shift from light to dark with little intermediate value. He burst upon the Rome art scene in 1600 with the success of his first public commissions, the Martyrdom of Saint Matthew and Calling of Saint Matthew. Thereafter he never lacked for commissions or patrons, yet he handled his success atrociously.

More, Sir Thomas Utopia: Or The Happy Republic ~ A Philosophical Romance
Glasgow 1743 Leather Good/No Jacket
Octavo, 139pp., Leather binding has some scuffs. Gilt lettered spine label has a chip. Folding frontispiece illustration of Thomas More. Translated from the Latin by Gilbert Burnet D.D. The translator Gilbert Burnet (1643 – 1715) was an erudite Scottish theologian eventually becoming Bishop of Salisbury. He was fluent in Dutch, French, Latin, Greek,and Hebrew and respected as a preacher and academic, as well as a writer and historian. This celebrated and influential work was first translated into English in 1556 by Ralph Robinson and Burnet points out in his Preface that he himself tries to give a more accurate and complete version than the earlier one. Burnet suspected that Robinson's translation was actually the work of More himself which would account for its freedom and deviations from the original Latin text.

Morley, Christopher The Haunted Bookshop
New York Doubleday, and Page 1926 Leather Very Good/No Jacket
Small Octavo, 289pp., Gilt lettered and decorated cover and spine. Full leather binding. A Volume from Doubleday's Lambskin Library Series. A charming entertainment that captures the romance of books and bookshops. “When you sell a man a book,” says Roger Mifflin, protagonist of these classic bookselling novels, “you don’t sell him just twelve ounces of paper and ink and glue,you sell him a whole new life.” The new life the itinerant bookman delivers to Helen McGill, the narrator of Parnassus on Wheels, provides the romantic comedy that drives the novel. Published in 1917, Morley’s first love letter to the traffic in books remains a transporting entertainment. Its sequel, The Haunted Bookshop, Þnds Mifflin and McGill, now married, ensconced in Brooklyn. The novel’s rollicking plot provides ample doses of diversion, while allowing more room for Mifflin (and Morley) to expound on the intricacy of the bookseller’s art.

Motley, John Lothrop Works of John Lothrop Motley: United Netherlands; Dutch Republic; John of Barnveld [9 Volume Set]
New York Harper and Brothers 1883 Leather Very Good Set Illustrated
Octavo, Gilt lettered and decorated cover and spine. Marbled outside edges and endpapers. Some sunfading of the spines. Works of Motley includes United Netherlands 4volumes, Dutch Republic 3 volumes and John of Barnveld 2 volumes. John Lothrop Motley (Dorchester, near Boston, Massachusetts, April 15, 1814 near Dorchester, England, May 29, 1877) was an American historian. Motley' s merits as an historian are undeniably great. He told the story of a stirring period in the history of the world with full attention to the character of the actors and strict fidelity to the vivid details of the action, but his writing is best where most unvarnished, and probably no writer of his calibre has owed less to the mere sparkle of highly polished literary style.
