Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First Edition (SD, NAP). This was Daniel Bell's book. He contributed an essay titled Ethnicity and Social Change. He did not write his name in the book. He did, curiously, put a parenthetical line beside two paragraphs in his own essay. He did this again only a few times, once on page 306 and 312, and twice on page 313. On the rear flap he wrote '1 +2-- Modernity', and referenced page 306 with the words 'Orlando structured' and page 313 with a word I can't make out. Orlando Patterson was the author of the essay, titled Context and Choice in Ethnic Allegiance, in which these pages appeared. Glazer and Bell went to college together and taught together. Here's a quote from Glazer's Wikipedia profile: 'When Glazer attended the City College of New York in the 1940s, it was known as a hotbed of radicalism. Glazer fell in with a number of other young Marxists who were hostile to Soviet-style communism. Glazer, Irving Howe, Daniel Bell, and Irving Kristol would meet in an alcove of the City College cafeteria, and they spent their days trying to understand how the socialist ideal of political and economic justice had ended in Joseph Stalin's murderous tyranny. As Glazer would later recall, 'one of the characteristics of our group was a notion of its universal competence. Culture, politics, whatever was happening we shot our mouths off on. It was a model created by the arrogance that if you're a Marxist you can understand anything and it was a model that even as we gave up our Marxism we nevertheless stuck with.' Dr. Bell took very good care of the book. The edges and corners are in excellent shape. The spine looks very good, just a little crinkling at the top edge. The page edges are very clean. The book is very solidly bound from cover to cover with nicely tight pages throughout and nicely tight covers as well. The pages are exceptionally clean. I'm not finding any soiling. I'm not finding any conspicuous creasing, no turned-down corners or placeholder creases. There are no markings. No attachments of any kind. And Dr. Bell's handful of penned margin lines represent the only writing to be found anywhere in the book. I've always had the dust jacket in a fitted protective cover. It looks very clean. I'm not noticing any tears. There's a very small loss at the top rear corner. There is a thin crease coming down from the rear top edge. The flaps are in very good shape, very clean, a couple of tiny crinkles. I've already noted the penned notes on the rear flap which also include '1975.' From the dust jacket: 'This volume launches a far-reaching exploration into the meaning, manifestations, and significance of ethnicity in modern society and politics. The authors seek neither to celebrate nor to deplore ethnicity, but rather to examine it as a basis of social organization which in modern societies has achieved a significance comparable to that of social class. Ethnicity indicates that minority groups around the world are no longer doing what society for hundreds of years has expected them to do-- assimilate, disappear, or endure as exotic, troublesome survivors. Instead, their numbers have expanded by immigration, their experiences and struggles mirrored to one another by the international mass media, minorities have become vital, highly conscious forces within almost all contemporary societies. Ethnicity has played a pivotal role in recent social change; it has evolved into a political idea, a mobilizing principle, and an effective means of advancing group interests.'.…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Windle (1858-1929), an anatomist by training, was President (1904-1919) of Queen's College, later University College, Cork where he was in the words of the historian of the University, John A.

Pye was an active figure in nineteenth-century British art. According to his entry in the Oxford DNB he was the engravers' 'best spokesman', hoping 'to raise the fortunes, status, and public profile of engravers by means of professional association and co-operation'. He was the author of a number of works, including 'Patronage of British Art' (1845). His collection of prints after Turner was acquired by the British Museum in 1869, and the proofs of Turner's 'Liber Studiorum' followed in 1870. His notebooks are in British Library. 1p, 4to, on the recto of the first leaf a bifolium, with the address, with fragment of a red wax seal, on the reverse of the second: 'William Carpenter Esqr / No 10 Nottingham Place / New Road'. In good condition, lightly aged and worn, folded five time. Signed 'John Pye'. He confirms that he is offering him his vote 'at the forthcoming election for Sec[re]t[ar]y of the Artists' Annuity Fund'. The 'good feeling' he has always entertained towards Carpenter, whom he now informs him is withdrawing from the contest, 'would have led me to do this earlier had I not given a promise in favor of Mr. Wood before I heard of your being a Candidate': 'By this change of circumstances your position as a Candidate becomes very much strengthened: for, I esteem the friends of Mr. Wood in this affair as being your friends'. He concludes: 'If I can say or do anything for you at the meeting for election or support of your hitherto more active friends, command me'. See image.…
