        Der Sinn und Wert des Lebens [Unterzeichnet] [The Meaning and Value of Life - Signed] WAS $3,450

      Leipzig: Quelle & Meyer, 1908. First edition. Hardcover. Very Good. PRESENTLY DISCOUNTED. WAS $3,450. A Very Good copy of the first edition, first printing, bound in three-quarter dimpled linen with the boards elegantly marbled in black, SIGNED BY RUDOLF EUCKEN on the title page (light curving to boards, paper portion of board bottoms rubbed through, small rub through at top of rear board, evidence of removal of a small sticker to front pastedown&#39;s lower left corner). Considered one of Eucken&#39;s major works, "Der Sinn und Wert des Lebens" [in English, "The Meaning and Value of Life"] deals with the human&#39;s struggle for a spiritual existence, without which, Eucken maintained, one cannot have a life of real meaning and true value. Eucken maintained that, in man, nature and spirit met, that man&#39;s spirit (or soul) separated him from the rest of nature, and that it was both man&#39;s duty and privilege to overcome his nonspiritual nature and to strive for a spiritual existence. Rudolf Eucken won the 1908 Nobel Prize in Literature "in recognition of his earnest search for truth, his penetrating power of thought, his wide range of vision, and the warmth and strength in presentation with which in his numerous works he has vindicated and developed an idealistic philosophy of life", making him the eighth winner of the Prize. Signed copies of Rudolf Eucken&#39;s works are exceedingly difficult to find and our search of the auction records reveals only one of his signed books having come to auction since 1960. Furthermore, this copy has a notable Provenance, having belonged to Murray Gell-Mann -- winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the theory of elementary particles and for his discovery of the quark -- whose bookplate resides on the front free endpaper. So, we offer here one Nobel Prize Winner&#39;s rare signed copy of another Nobel Prize Winner&#39;s important work, issued in the same year as that in which the author won the Nobel Prize in Literature. A Very Good copy of one of Rudolf Eucken&#39;s most important works, SIGNED BY RUDOLF EUCKEN. EXTREMELY SCARCE.

        THE FRA (NOT FOR MUMMIES) A JOURNAL OF AFFIRMATION. 42 Issues in 7 Volumes

      The Roycrofters 1908-1911, East Aurora, NY - Folio. 42 consecutive issues, bound in 7 volumes, with ads and many additions. 1/2 suede over laid-paper covered boards, printed in black and red. Untrimmed and often unopened. Starting with Vol.1, April 1908, No.1 and ending with Vol 7, September 1911, No.6. Each bound volume has 6 issues. Each issue has 16-32pp. of text and 20-32pp of ads. Text is printed in two colors, usually black and pink, on very nice paper with adds appearing on smooth tan or white paper. Text is numbered consecutively. The cover of these large attractive magazines was designed by Dard Hunter and Hubbard himself wrote most of the ads. Alice Hubbard wrote much of the magazine, but there were many contributors. Some illustrations by Denslow. These bound volumes have what appears to be additional sheets, usually caricatures or jokes as transitions from one issue to another. All covers are present. There is an occasional small edge tear or crease but for the most part, it appears that the volumes were made up of new, unread issues of the magazine with the exception of Volume 5, where the magazines appear lightly used and have some small tears and creases to some of the covers and pages. Two issues, April and May of 1911, have a different style cover (pictorial in blue). The bindings are all in very nice condition; the rear endpaper of Volume 5 has a slight rippling, but no evidence of moisture. There are pencil marks that, appear to be editorial, throughout the text sections of all volumes; they are not particuarly distracting. [Attributes: First Edition]

      [London]: The British Academy, [1908]. Ephemera. Good. Ephemera. One of the rarest Meredith items, appearing the year before he died. First edition of a four-page leaflet, an offprint from the Proceedings of the British Academy, with title on first page and two page poem. In her detailed catalogue of the Altschul collection of Meredith (now at Yale), Bertha Coolidge states "Professor Gollancz had a dozen copies printed off on vellum for Meredith and his friends." Only three copies printed on vellum can be located (Columbia, Yale, the Mark Samuels Lasner collection), and this appears to be the only one printed on paper - possibly a proof, considering the poor state of preservation. Small tear, browned, folds, a good copy only. LIT/120712.

        My African Journey

      Hodder & Stoughton, London, 1908, 1st edition - An important book for several reasons. The only Churchill first in decorated cloth and the only ?travel and exploration? title. Bound in bright red cloth, gilt titles on spine and a woodcut illustration of Churchill standing by a dead rhino, blocked in blue, grey, and black. xiv plus 226 pages. Profusely illustrated with 61 photos taken by Churchill on his trip through British East Africa and then on down the Nile, undertaken in his position at the time of Under Secretary of State for the Colonies. Churchill demonstrates a sensitivity to the Africans that way ahead of its time. The photos are tipped in rather than bound, so copies should always be collated to verify the presence of all photos and maps. An exceptionally bright example, spine just as red as the cover with shiny gilt, paper is good white shade, a few scattered spots, edges clean. A few of the tipped-in plates are loose, as often happens. Gift inscription dated 1909 on endpaper. (A12a). [Attributes: Hard Cover]

        The Chase of The Golden Plate. [In the Strand Magazine Original Issues].

      London: George Newnes. 1907, 1908. - First magazine appearance. 4to. Publisher's card wraps. Minor edgewear, a little loss and chipping to spine panels, most notably to the February 1908 issue. Decmeber 1907 is a Christmas issue with extra content and a lavish colour cover. Internally clean and bright with the usual blizzard of advertisments for everything from corsetry to elephant guns these three issues contain the complete "Golden Plate" and numerous other works by such luminaries as W.W. Jacobs and F. Anstey aongside articles on "Babies in Poetry" and "Can Crime be Cured By Surgery?" The answer to that last question by the way is "No! Stop that." to anyone who was toying with it as a theory without an extensive collection of Strand Magazines to hand. As always, The Strand is awesome to behold and marvellous to read and without doubt the closest most of us are going to get to time travel. Protected by a tailor made clamshell box. Futrelle was another of those characters who seemed able to write hundreds of novels covering almost any subject whilst also pusruing a career as a telegram operator, journalist and probably a whole host of other stuff. Strangely enough Futrelle (an American) was in Europe in 1912 seeing publishers and exploring new ground for his stories; he decided to return home on a brand new ship called the Titanic, and is numbered amongst the lost of that disaster.

        House on the Borderland: From the Manuscript, discovered in 1877 by Messrs Tonnison and Berreggnog, in the Ruins that lie to the South of the Village of Kraighten, in the West of Ireland. Set out here, with Notes

      London: Chapman and Hall, Ltd., 1908. First edition. Hardcover. 300pp. Octavo [19.5 cm] Red cloth with gilt stamped title and author on front board and backstrip. Good. Spine rolled, backstrip and faded, covers rubbed. The top edge of the text block has multiple very tiny stains. There is a small moisture stain on the spine, and there is a 1/2 inch long split in the cloth at the head of the spine. The spine ends and the corners are bumped. The underlying boards are exposed at the corners. Bookplate on front pastedown, cosmetic splitting to hinges, minor foxing to endsheets. There is a large loss from the fore edge margin of p. 79, not affecting the text. The pages are yellowed and have very occasional light foxing and very light stains. Uncommon first edition of this classic of supernatural fiction. Precedes the Arkham House (American first) by 38 years. This novel is a classic example of the &#39;found journal&#39; narrative (i.e. Lovecraft&#39;s Necronomicon or Danielewski&#39;s House of Leaves). The influence of Hodgson on supernatural fiction cannot be overstated. H.P. Lovecraft wrote: "...perhaps the greatest of all Mr. Hodgson&#39;s works .... The wanderings of the Narrator&#39;s spirit through limitless light-years of cosmic space and Kalpas of eternity, and its witnessing of the solar system&#39;s final destruction, constitute something almost unique in standard literature. And everywhere there is manifest the author&#39;s power to suggest vague, ambushed horrors in natural scenery. .....a classic of the first water." Bleiler p.101. Currey, p. 243 Reginald 07284.

        The Battles of Sole Bay and Texel

      London: Navy Records Society, , 1908. Folio. 10 folding chromolithographic plates, linen-backed, c.360mm high, opening to form a panorama nearly 14m long, in contemporary blue cloth portfolio with leather title label. Accompanied by Corbett&#39;s A Note on the Drawings in the Possession of The Earl of Dartmouth Illustrating The Battle of Sole Bay and The Battle of Texel. 45pp. Octavo. pamphlet. Very good in the original pink light card wraps. The first 3 plates cover the Battle of Sol (28 May 1672); the remaining 7, Texel (11 August 1673). An excellent set Issued as Volume XXXIV in the Navy Records Society Series, this is by far the scarcest and most desirable of their publications. Corbett&#39;s text examines the controversy over the origins and authority of the drawings, discussing how much William Van de Velde the Elder may have had to do with their production. He was present at Sole Bay and Schooneveld, and made drawings of the actions from the Dutch point of view, four of them being in the British Museum, and tapestries made from another bird&#39;s-eye view of the engagement hang at Hampton Court. However, he is not believed to have been present at the Battle of Texel, and the execution of this series lacks van de Velde&#39;s "masterly touch."; "Still there is strong evidence to show that, directly or indirectly, they originated in the Master&#39;s studio." This discussion is followed by an Order of Battle of the Dutch and British Fleets, an examination of the strategies pursued and a detailed description of the plates.
