She and her family moved to San Francisco when she was 9 and Lotta continued to attract much attention on the stage for a number of years. Several years later she came east and was a sensation in the Broadway music halls. As can be imagined, the beautiful performer was ardently persued but never married; her mother, and later she herself, invested in California real estate. She retired to New Jersey, a wealthy woman, at age 45., Lotta, who became the most popular soubrette of the seventies and eighties, began her career in the gold camps of the High Sierras, and the gambling saloons and variety halls of San Francisco. Troupes appeared not only in the theatres of the cities, but took to the road by stage coach or even on foot and played in the remotest mining towns with showers of gold as their reward. This is the story of the fascinating Lotta who emerged out of this background to become throughout the country the foremost comedy actress and the pioneer in extravaganza and burlesque. Includes much about other entertainers of the time, including Ada Menken, Lola Montez, the Booths, Julia Dean, and more. Wheat's California Gold Rush. Signed by Author(s). 1st Edition. Hardcover.

"This clearly written and well organized book is called the first textbook of general chemistry written in the English language to be based on Lavoisier's new chemistry. The principles are illustrated with experiments." -- Cole. / Accum (1769-1838), born in Germany where the family operated a small soap boiling business. In 1793 Accum came to London to take a position at Brande, apothecaries to George II. He became friends with Anthony Carlisle and William Nicholson and established his own laboratory. He assisted Sir Humphry Davy until 1803 (the year this book was issued). He also began lecturing in 1802 where is students included Benjamin Silliman and William Peck. He supplied apparatus to institutions abroad. Amazingly, in December 1820, he was arrested for mutilating books at the Royal Institution Library, which triggered his exiting England for Germany. "The value of Accum's work lies in the way he saw and exploited the technological possibilities of the rapidly advancing science of chemistry." [DSB].

Ditchling, Sussex: Pepler & Sewell, St Dominic's Press, 1935. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. No. 140 of 300 copies, octavo size, [46] pp. The Saint Dominic's Press, founded by Harry (Hilary) Douglas Clarke Pepler, flourished at Ditchling, Sussex, from 1916 to 1936. The first home of the Press was "a disused stable", with a hundred-year-old Stanhope hand-press which supposedly had belonged to William Morris. Pepler endeavored to do everything possible by hand, believing that such would both produce the best results and also be a "more individual or 'humane'...product". He therefore "preferred the handpress to the machine, handmade to machine-made paper, and handset founder's type to the products of typesetting machines." Pepler met Edward Johnston and Eric Gill while living in Hammersmith; Pepler and his family would eventually move to Ditchling to join Gill, who was one of the most important artists to provide illustrations for the St. Dominic's Press. Other artists who provided illustrations included David Jones, Desmond Chute, Philip Hagreen, and Thomas Derrick, among others. Per the bibliography, "[The] Title page engraving has been attributed to Gill." ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in quarter-linen buff paper-covered boards, engraving on the title page of a chalice and wafer surrounded by a stylized sunburst; octavo size (8 1/4" x 5 1/2"), unpaginated with twenty-three printed leaves, errata slip tipped in at the back, limited edition of 300 copies, this is copy numbered 140, printed at St Dominic's Press, Ditchling Common, Hassocks, Sussex. ___CONDITION: Volume is near fine, with minimal rubbing, a strong, square text block and solid hinges, the interior is clean and bright, and entirely free of prior owner markings; slightly discolored boards and very slightly bumped corners, lacking the dust jacket. ___CITATION: Taylor & Sewell no.

Amstelodami (Amsterdam): Excudit Gerardus Borstius, 1696. Second edition. Hardcover. g+ to vg. Octavo (7 3/4 x 6"). [18], 492pp. Contemporary blind-stamped parchment, with handwritten title on spine. Additional engraved title by Joseph Mulder (1658-1742), a Dutch Golden Age printmaker, after an illustration by Jan Goeree. Engraved title vignette. Decorative headpieces, initials, and tailpiece. Originally published in 1683, Herman Witsius's "Aegyptiaca" compares the religious rites of the Jews and the Egyptians.

This second edition has been expanded from the first.

[Berlin]: Vereinigung Berliner Architekten, 1905. First edition. Hardcover. g- to vg. Folio (13 1/2 x 10 1/4"). 58, [2]pp (Text and in-text illustrations), [56] leaves (Plates). Original blue cloth, with gold lettering to front cover. Decorative endpapers. Laid in, an original and unsigned watercolor on transparent paper, and the third issue of the Technische Hochschule Charlottenburg, dated February 27, 1920. Title page decorated by Adolf Hartung. This splendid photo-illustrated architectural monograph was published by the Union of Berlin Architects (Vereinigung Berliner Architekten) to commemorate the 25th anniversary of their founding. The founding members included distinguished historians as well as Martin Gropius, a celebrated architect and the uncle of Walter Gropius. By 1904, the association had over two hundred members. As seen in this book, the Union was an active participant in the architectural life of Berlin and curious about developments elsewhere. "Vereinigung Berliner Architekten MDCCCLXXIX-MDCCCCIV" features striking full-page b/w illustrated and photographic plates showing some of the best architectural examples produced between 1879 and 1904, such as: - The Berlin Dom (Cathedral), constructed from 1893 to 1905 by Julius Carl Raschdorff. - An architectural drawing of the Metz railway station, under construction at the time of the publication. The impressive Gothic-style station was built between 1905 and 1908 by German architect Jürgen Kröger assisted by the architects Jürgensen and Bachmann. - The Kaiserbrücke, a railway bridge on the Mainz rail bypass across the Rhine at the north end of Mainz. The bridge was built between 1901 and 1904 by Franz Heinrich Schwechten, one of the most famous architects of his time who contributed to the development of historicist architecture. The Kaiserbrücke was destroyed in 1945 by retreating German troops. - The New Town Hall (Leipzig), built between 1899 and 1905 by Hugo Licht. - The Lessing-Theater (Berlin), built between 1897 and 1898 by Hermann von der Hude and Julius Hennicke. The theater was destroyed during an allied air raid in April 1945. - The Bismarcksäule (Cologne), a prominent memorial statue dedicated to Prince and Chancellor Otto von Bismarck. The statue was built by A. Hartmann. - The Bismarck-Denkmal (Hamburg), is a memorial sculpture located in the St. Pauli quarter, dedicated to Otto von Bismarck. The monument was built by W. Müller. - The Charlottenburg U-Bahn station, built by Alfred Grenander. - The Almemor (raised platform also called bema, bimah or bima) of the synagogue in Lindenstrasse (Berlin). The synagogue was built in 1881 by Cremer & Wolffensteir. Some of the buildings featured in this work were built in the style of the Jugendstill (Art Nouveau). Minor abrasion to spine. Binding rubbed along edges. Text in German. Binding in overall good- to good, interior in very good condition.
