Add to basketSingle Issue Magazine. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. San Francisco: Sierra Club, 1923. First Edition. Vol XI, No. 4, for 1923. This was published during a several-year time period when the Sierra Club did not stipulate the month of an issue, just the volume, the number, and the year - monthly designations for such an infr…equent publication having always been somewhat unnecessary in any case. Original printed wrappers, 9 1/4" x 6 1/4", 115 pp. + numerous unpaginated photographic plates, features and ads, including a fold-out map (Grouse Meadows to Vidette Meadow) and a fold-out wide-angle photograph by W.H. Wright. Gray stapled wraps, rather than the usual medium brown. Very Good; circuit binding (yapp binding) was used, in which cover edges were intentionally extended out beyond page edges, but over time the extended part becomes pressed inward somewhat (see scan). Some damage at inside front hinge area, and some spine sunning and abrasion. A handsome copy. See scans. Binding sturdy, contents fine. See scan of contents page for the lineup of stellar club writers and their always engaging and adventurous topics. In addition to the graphics mentioned above, this issue is chock full of photographic plates by the club's best photographers, as well as others, including Robert L. Lipman, A.C. Lovekin, J.S. Hutchinson, James K. Moffitt, Ansel F. Hall, Frank A. Williamson, C.O. Schneider, W. Harris (an 1867 shot), Con L. Grover, Frederick H. Morley, Walter L. Huber, Chester Versteeg and several uncredited artists. SC2. Robert L. Lipman, A.C. Lovekin, J.S. Hutchinson, James K. Moffitt, Ansel F. Hall, Frank A. Williamson, C.O. Schneider, W. Harris, Con L.

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. London: Edward Moxon & Co., 1867. First edition, first issue. xx,360pp. §This is the original issue, hastily recalled by the publisher, containing poems by Walter Savage Landor issued without permission. The anthology was immediately reissued without them. §The schoolmaster and Uranian…poet William Johnson Cory's (1823-1892) copy, with ink inscription to half-title reading, 'Wm Johnson from Lady Winchilsea received two days after leaving Haverholme Jan[.]y 9 1867'. Cory was dismissed from Eton under a cloud of scandal in 1872, publicly changing his name from Johnson to Cory at the same time. "In April 1872 Johnson suddenly resigned at Eton, and no one can be quite sure of the exact circumstances of his resignation. There is no question, however, that he was dangerously fond of a number of boys. Although he probably did not allow his affections to take any physical form, he permitted intimacies between the boys. This conduct was brought to the notice of the headmaster, James Hornby, who demanded Johnson's resignation, and Johnson retired quietly to the family home, Halsdon, which he had leased from his brother. He also resigned the fellowship of King's [College, Cambridge]; his influence there had been on the side of opening up the college from its traditional Etonian exclusiveness. Wanting a fresh start, he changed his surname to Cory" - ODNB. Front free endpaper bears the inscription 'William Johnson, Halsdon' in black ink - hard to discern as the endpapers are a shade of dark green. Four brief pencilled annotations to text, and lengthy pencilled note to verso of front free endpaper concerning the bibliographical details of this suppressed edition - apparently in Cory's hand. Original brown cloth with gilt fleur-de-lys decoration to spine & upper cover, and the same design in blind to lower board. Old clipping from bookseller's catalogue pasted to upper corner of front pastedown. An unsophisticated copy, spine showing wear, lower hinge slightly weak. (There are no poems by Cory in the anthology). Signed by Author(s).
