ANNUAL REPORTS OF THE BOARD OF INSTRUCTION OF THE CITY OF PORTSMOUTH, N.H. 1909, 1910, 1911.
Portsmouth, NH:
City of Portsmouth
1911.
Half Leather.
Presumed First.
132 pp. Publisher listed on spine as MacDougall, probably James A. MacDougall, Secretary of the Board of Instruction, 1910. This intriguing book is a collection of three years' paperback reports, each about 40 pps. long. The card covers are included in the hardcover binding, which is a very nice set of marbled boards backed and cornered with smooth dark red leather. Touches of edgewear would indicate that the book was at least moved around on shelves. Lettered in gilt on spine, with tiny chips at both spine ends. Contains straightforward reports on the public school system, with occasional light pencil ticks. Otherwise, clean and tight.

Hyde, William DeWitt.
THE NEW ETHICS.
New York:
Thomas Y. Crowell & Co.
1903.
Hardcover.
First.
29 pp. This slim little volume is intriguing for several reasons. The cover,of textured ivory paper, has a signed deco design in peach and green with gilt, signed by Decorative Designers. Slightest of wear to corners and spine ends, with a closed tear at heel of spine. Secondly, the author was President of Bowdoin College from 1885 to 1917, during which time this book was published. He was a Congregational Minister, author of many books on philosophy. This particular title is most uncommon - only a few copies noted, all in university libraries and LOC.
