Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. VG book, Tight. Scuffed & bumped covers. FINE text, few spots in a few margins. In Arabic, including pagination. 9"x6", 154pp. Name also spelled Khowarizmi or Khwarizmi. Written in late 10th century. Khawarizmi's 10th century book is many times called world's first encyclopedia. Certainly very ea…rly, but NOT the very first, according to a Wikipedia artical on history of encyclopedias. 5 raised ribs, two gilt Arabic words in 2nd panel. Red & black title page. 4 page index. A summary of Islamic science, subjects include math, alchemy, medicine, meteorology. Khawarizmi, 935-1002, was a statesman and poet who compiled the book in late 900s. This copy published in 1923. It was written to familiarize officials with scientific, and other, terms. Wikipedia says few transltions were made into English. ANOTHER KHAWARIZMI, of about 150 years earlier, was a noted scientist & mathematician. He was one of the first to recognize "0" as a separate & distinct number. He also brought the Hindu numbering system into the Arabic world and thence the Europeon. So, why don't we call our numbering system "Hindu" rather than "Arabic"? Very Good book. FINE text. Later half brown leather.

This is followed by a page of instructions on how the actual gunpowder is finally made. It should be noted gunpowder was still made this way in the Civil War. This followed by a full page woodcut plan of Boston showing, among other things, the Liberty Tree, Bunker's Hill and Gen Gates' lines. Lastly a half page key to the plan.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st edition. VG book. PMUC was built from a $5000 Pullman donation and $5000 from the village of Albion. 10"x7",30pp. PULLMAN signed fep. PMUC was built as a memorial to Pullman's parents. Pullman's first business successes were in Albion when a young man. PMUC is an unusual (it has no steeple) a…nd attractive church still used by the Unitarian Universalist Association(UUA). The stained glass windows are Tiffany. The main window about 15'x8'. It is signed by Tiffani on a small glass plate affixed to lower right. Tiffany would keep his best works in his studio as long as possible and would deliver only at the very last minute. Pullman had to pressure Tiffany to get the window delivered in time for the dedication. An unusual George Pullman item; not a word about railroads, sleeping cars or any business matter. The infamous Pullman strike was only the year before. DISCLOSURE: your bookseller is a half hour from Albion. He is a Unitarian and attended this church for 10-15 years. NEAR FINE book. One minor flaw. Pullman SIGNATURE on fep. TEG. Signed by Author(s).
