Publisher: Womens Centennial Executive Committee Philadelphia, PA, 1876
The National Cookery Book, Compiled From Original Receipts, for the Women’s Centennial Committees of the International Exhibition of 1876. No author. Philadelphia, PA: Women’s Centennial Executive Committee, 1876. Probable first edition. Hardcover. "The Women’s Centennial Committees of the International Exhibition of 1876 respectfully offer this volume to their countrywomen, and solicit their patronage. "Among the many enterprises planned by the committees to carry out the objects of their organization, was a National Cookery Book. It was thought proper in a department exclusively devoted to ‘women’s work’, that cookery--an art which has been consigned so largely to her--should not be forgotten. It was also believed that it would not be thought presumptuous to endeavor to afford the visitors from abroad, who might honor the Exhibition by their presence, an opportunity of judging our progress in this art, and also of the resources of our country…." Contributions to the Cookery Book were solicited from throughout the United States. This book provides several thousand classic American recipes in all categories, contemporary to 1876, when chicken dinner began with plucking (or even slaughtering) the chicken. 357 pages with index. Book is an original 1876 edition in GOOD condition; some discoloration to pages with binding still good and intact. Embossed cover (see photo); no dust jacket. No Jacket. Hard Cover.

During their stay in this country, they may often have occasion to have their accounts settled at stores and business establishments, where tradesmen and clerks compute correct sums and balances in no time, deftly clicking beads on their abacus or soroban, the Japanese adding machine…. "This handbook written after careful study is intended to provide a home-study course for correct and speedy abacus calculation, a suitable introduction for foreign beginners. Dealing mainly with addition and subtraction, the basis of abacus calculation, it also touches upon multiplication and division….One word of caution--the student should use a standard abacus designed for special international use. He will then be able to acquire the secret of wonderfully speedy calculation. " Illustrated as appropriate to the text. 96 pages. Book is in GOOD condition; tear to cover at bottom of spine.

Publisher: Noel Douglas London, 1933
Musings of a Mineral-Water Manufacturer: Some Advertisements of W. A. Ross & Sons, Ltd., Belfast, which have appeared in Truth and The Spectator between March 1931 and December 1932. London: Noel Douglas, 1933. Trade paperback format. "The writer having spent the last ten years in bringing Ross’s Tonic Water, Ginger Beer, Lemon Squash, Etc., up to the standard of the Ginger Ale he was fortunate enough to inherit from his forefathers, and having trained up a competent and trustworthy crew to carry on the good work, is now, as it were out of a job and looking for some other scope for his energies. "To quote (or misquote) Mr. Bernard Shaw, being incapable of describing accurately anything he sees, or understanding or reporting accurately anything he hears, and, owing to his daily struggle with his own illiteracy, and his inability to write shorthand, or write with ease any hand, he naturally breaks out into journalism. "Readers of Truth, if they care to do so, will find in this column for some few weeks to come our views on topics which may at first sight seem to be in no way connected, but may interest those who are hoping to some small extent to achieve the good life. It does not follow because we can make good Ginger Ale that our opinion on other matters is of any value. "Most of us outside our own profession are thoroughly incompetent and do not know it. And, still worse, the public do not know it, and think because a man is, say, a very clever engineer his views on religion or finance or architecture may be worth listening to. They may be, but the long speeches chairmen of big companies feel it necessary to make nowadays at the annual meetings of their shareholders make one wonder whether the shoemaker would not be better to stick to his last. Therefore, let the reader be warned." The following were advertisements placed by W. A. Ross & Sons, manufacturers of Mineral Water. They offer interesting, often tongue-in-cheek, comments on advertising and current events (ca. 1931-1932. 184 pages. Book is In FAIR to GOOD condition.

Publisher: Fowler and Wells Co., Publishers New York, 1886
How To Read Character: A New Illustrated Hand-Book of Phrenology and Physiognomy, for Students and Examiners, with A Descriptive Chart. No author. New York: Fowler & Wells Co., Publishers, 1886. Antiquarian hardcover. "The first Phrenological Chart every produced was printed on a single sheet, the size of our common note paper, and was sold for a cent. It simply gave the names of the organs then discovered by Dr. Gall. The next was larger, and gave both the names and definitions of the organs; still later, the charts of Drs. Gall and Spurzheim embraced all the above, together with some account of the Temperaments. But as it was with the inventors of the steam-engine, the locomotive, and the steamboat, so it has been with phrenologists. Each succeeding author is supposed to have availed himself of all that has been proved to be true and useful, adding thereto his own observations and experiences. Thus the improved charts of to-day are as unlike those first printed as are the modern steamers, locomotives, and engines to those first invented. During our thirty years’ experience in the practical application of scientific rules to character reading, we have used many different charts, revising old ones year after year, and adding one improvement after another. The present work embodies our latest and best ideas on the subject, so far as they can be set forth in this condensed and popular form…." Well illustrated as appropriate to the text. 192 pages.

Publisher: Keramic Supply Co. Indianpolis, IN, 1909
Colors and Coloring in China Painting. No author. Indianapolis, IN: Keramic Supply Co., 1909. Second Revised Edition. Softcover booklet format. "….Years ago certain colors were made by one individual, and other colors by another, and as each color maker used different fluxes, each color required a certain firing different from the others, and likewise, as the fluxes were of a different nature, the colors were not entirely successful when mixed. This however has all been changed. The Royal overglaze colors, for instance, are all prepared from the same base; they can be used for painting, tinting or grounding; they can be mixed, and all of them are fired properly at a moderate temperature, which is equivalent to 700 degrees Centigrade. Little firing tests are provided, whereby one is placed in the kile, and as soon as it melts down, which is observed through the peep hole, the firing is judged sufficient. So that today, china painting is reduced to an exact Art, and the colors are as easily used as water colors." 40 pages. Book is in GOOD condition. Paper wrappers. No Jacket. Soft Cover.
