Hardcover. First Edition. 95 pages. 9-1/2 by 12 inches. Illustrated with 8 black-and-white plates. First edition (first printing). A good hardcover copy; no dust jacket, as issued. Loss to paper spine and tears to the hinges. A former owner's name and notations on the cover. Contents fine. From the Harvard office library of the paleontologist and leading advocate for evolution, Stephen Jay Gould. With a tipped in bookplate indicating the provenance. *** Intellectually, Gould understood the true nature of these bookplates, but the book collector in him appreciated them. In his essay 'A Seahorse for All Races' Gould writes about one of his prized possessions, a book from Charles Dickens' library: 'Dickens made no annotations, but a bookplate on the cover, presumably inserted as a come-on for a sale after Dickens' death in 1870, does prove that [he] kept and shelved the book.' *** We offer our Gould bookplates, printed letterpress in two colors, in the same spirit.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the development of select Silurian brachiopod species based on meticulous study of nearly fifteen thousand fossil specimens, many less than five millimeters in length. The existence of these immature forms preserved in the shales at Waldron, Indiana, provides unparalleled insight into the early life stages of these creatures, revealing that the diagnostic characters of species of this genus may not be assumed until the earlier stages of the existence of the shell have passed. Moreover, the work offers a detailed study of changes in the form, structure, and surface ornamentation of the shells as they age, providing a comprehensive account of their developmental biology. The detailed examination of cardinal areas and hinge structures is especially valuable, as it exposes new facts about the development of the brachiopoda and helps to illuminate obscure and anomalous features.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. 1st Edition. Abebooks seller: ITSHISTORY, Brentwood, TN. $8,500. INCLUDED ARE SPEECHES, DISCUSSIONS and LETTERS PRESENTED AT THE PROCEEDINGS. BACKGROUND. By APRIL 1865, the Civil War had effectively ended and Emancipation was duly given to black slaves. And yet, the right to vote was still withheld from black men and all women of any race or color. In MAY 1866, the first meeting of the newly formed American Equal Rights Association (AERA) was held to develop strategies to set into law UNIVERSAL SUFFRAGE, the right to vote regardless of complexion, race or sex of the person. MAY 1867, a year later, the call to attend the First Anniversary Meeting of the AERA was issued, stating: "The object of this Association is to SECURE EQUAL RIGHTS TO ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS, ESPECIALLY THE RIGHT OF SUFFRAGE, IRRESPECTIVE OF RACE, COLOR OR SEX. American Democracy has interpreted the Declaration of Independence in the interest of slavery, restricting suffrage and citizenship to a white male minority. The black man is still denied the crowning right of citizenship, even in the nominally free States, though the fires of civil war have melted the chains of chattelism, and a hundred battle-fields attest his courage and patriotism. Half our population are disfranchised on the ground of sex; and though compelled to obey the law and taxed to support the government, they have no voice in the legislation of the country. This Association, then, has a mission to perform, the magnitude and importance of which cannot be over-estimated." DEMAND FOR THE VOTE! _____ JULY 1848, at the first Woman's Rights Convention, Seneca Falls, NY, ELIZABETH CADY STANTON fiercely defended woman suffrage (woman's right to vote), saying, "SUFFRAGE IS THE RIGHT BY WHICH ALL OTHERS SHALL BE OBTAINED!" IN THIS BOOKLET, SEE PAGE 9, SPEECH OF ELIZABETH CADY STANTON (10pp). She said, "SUFFRAGE IS A NATURAL RIGHT as necessary to man under government, for the protection of person and property, as are air and motion to life," and further "[voting] --the right of self-government. THAT LITTLE PIECE OF PAPER DROPPED INTO A BOX is the symbol of equality, of citizenship, of wealth, virtue, education, self-protection, dignity, independence and power --the mightiest engine yet placed in the hand of man for the uprooting of ignorance, tyranny, superstition, the overturning of thrones, altars, kings, popes, despotisms, monarchies and empires." AND SEE speeches by Sojourner Truth, a former slave, on PAGES 63, 66. Believing that WOMEN SHOULD HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF RIGHTS AS MEN, she said, "There is a great stir about colored men getting their rights, but not a word about the colored women; and if colored men get their rights, and not colored women theirs, you see the colored men will be masters over the women, and it will be just as bad as it was before. So I am for keeping the thing going while things are stirring; because if we wait till it is still, it will take a great while to get it going again . . . I want women to have their rights . I am above eighty years old; it is about time for me to be going. I have been forty years a slave and forty years free and would be here forty years more to have equal rights for all." Then SOJOURNER SANG A SONG, its lyrics are recorded in print in the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, May 18, 1867, pp 6. (see newspapers. com).
