The Gutenberg Bible at the University of Texas Harry Ransom Center. This is one of the 48 surviving copies of the 180 that were the first book printed with the radical new technology - movable type. Only 5 complete copies are in the US. Since the 1455 printing it was used in monasteries in Germany until the 1600's when it was purchased by an English collector. There are notes in the margins about which passages are to be read on certain religious holidays. After printing the book was illuminated by hand with the colorful letters and markings to make it look more like the completely hand lettered editions of the day. The text is Latin using an old style typeface that is hard for us to read today. The book is about 18 inches high (450 mm) Volume 2 is in the background. [MG_0122]

Originally written as newspaper journalism, “Sketches by Boz” is the public record of Dickens’ apprenticeship. The 56 sketches concern London scenes and were originally published in various newspapers and other periodicals between 1833 and 1836, including the “Morning Chronicle,” the “Evening Chronicle,” the “Monthly Magazine,” the “Carlton Chronicle” and “Bell’s Life in London.” Fist published in book form in 1836, the whole work is divided into four sections: “Our Parish,” “Scenes,” “Characters,” and “Tales.” Dickens’ writings are enhanced by the regular inclusion of illustrations by George Cruikshank to highlight key scenes and characters.
"Who the dickens 'Boz' could be
Puzzled many a learned elf,
Till time unveiled the mystery,
And 'Boz' appeared as Dickens's self."
Dickens took the pseudonym from a nickname he had given his younger brother Augustus, whom he called "Moses" after a character in Oliver Goldsmith's The Vicar of Wakefield. This, "being facetiously pronounced through the nose," became "Boses", which in turn was shortened to "Boz".

The illustration is for the poem “Chil’s Song.” [This is the song that Chil sang as the kites dropped down one after another to the river bed when the great fight was finished. Chil is good friends with everybody, but he is a cold-blooded kind of creature at heart, because he knows that almost everybody in the Jungle comes to him in the long-run.]
“…Tattered flank and sunken eye, open mouth and red,
Locked and lank and lone they lie, the dead upon their dead.
Here’s an end of every trail, and here my hosts are fed!”
“The Second Jungle Book” is a sequel to “The Jungle Book” by English author Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936). First published in 1895, it features five stories about Mowgli, the abandoned boy who is raised by wolves, and three unrelated stories. All but one is set in India and all were previously published in magazines in 1894-5. Kipling was born in India, spent the first six years of his childhood there and returned as an adult to work there for about six-and-a-half years. He put into his stories everything he knew about the Indian jungle. His father, John Lockwood Kipling, spent most of his career in British India as Principal of the Mayo School of Arts and curator of the Lahore Museum. He did the illustrations for the book.

“They sprang to their feet and hurried to the shore toward the town. They parted the bushes on the bank and peered out over the water. The little steam ferry boat was about a mile below the village, drifting with the current. Her broad deck seemed crowded with people. There were a great many skiffs rowing about or floating with the stream in the neighborhood of the ferry boat, but the boys could not determine what the men in them were doing. Presently a great jet of white smoke burst from the ferry boat’s side, and as it expanded and rose in a lazy cloud, that same dull throb of sound was borne to the listeners again.
“I know now!” exclaimed Tom; “somebody’s drownded!”
“That’s it!” said Huck; “they done that last summer, when Bill Turner got drownded; they shoot a cannon over the water, and that makes him come up to the top. Yes, and they take loaves of bread and put quicksilver in ‘em and set ‘em afloat, and wherever there’s anybody that’s drownded, they’ll float right there and stop.” [From “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer,” pp. 125-126]

Jan Benes, a brilliant refugee scientist, is the victim of an attempted assassination and lies in a coma with a potentially fatal blood clot in his brain. Locked in his mind is a secret of vital importance. The urgency of saving him is overwhelming, yet conventional surgery would inevitably destroy his mental powers if not precipitate his death.
The new secret process of miniaturization -- whereby a whole army could conceivably be placed in a matchbox and sent anywhere in the world -- offers a chance of saving Dr. Benes. In spite of the enormous hazards involved, the scientists in charge of the process decide to miniaturize a team of doctors and technicians with all their equipment, including a small submarine, and inject them into Benes's circulatory system to attack and destroy the blood clot from the inside.
American science fiction writer Isaac Asimov wrote this novelization based on an original story by Otto Klement and Jay Lewis Bixby and on a screenplay by Harry Kleiner. Twentieth Century Fox released the movie version based on Kleiner's screenplay in 1966 and it starred Stephen Boyd, Raquel Welch, Edmond O'Brien and Donald Pleasence.

From May through November 1864, 20-year-old Sergeant Major Robert H. Kellogg of the 16th Regiment Connecticut volunteers and most of his regiment were confined in Confederate prisons at Andersonville, Georgia and Florence, South Carolina. Upon entering the notorious Andersonville prison, Kellogg scribbled into his diary: “Our hearts failed us as we saw what used to be men now nothing but mere skeletons covered with filth & vermin.”
Robert Kellogg’s “Life and Death in Rebel Prisons” was published in 1865, right after the American Civil War while the horrors of that time were still fresh in the author’s memory. The book was based on his journal and the accounts of other Union Army prisoners. It details the harsh conditions and daily atrocities of life in Confederate prisons as well as some details of the war.
It began when retired tailor Joseph Schwartz was walking down a street in Chicago, past the Institute for Nuclear Research. He raised one foot in the twentieth century; he lowered it in Galactic Era 827, the victim of an odd accident inside the Institute involving an experiment with crude uranium.
Schwartz awoke to a strange world -- he was still on Earth, but at a time when all the planets of the Galaxy were inhabited, and the people of Earth were outcasts, suffering vindictive discrimination because their tiny world was radioactive. Then, strangely, he found himself the only man who could avert an impending cosmic disaster. But Schwartz, homesick and confused, wasn't sure he even cared!
Wells’ story of The First Men in the Moon first appeared as a ten-part serial in The Strand Magazine (Nov. 1900 – August 1901) with illustrations by Claude Shepperson . The story appeared simultaneously in the USA as an eight-part serial in The Cosmopolitan Magazine (Nov. 1900 – June 1901) with illustrations by E. Hering. The Bowen-Merrill Co. of Indianapolis published the first edition of the novel in book form in 1901 with eleven of Hering’s illustrations. The British followed a month later with their own book edition from George Newnes in London with twelve of Shepperson’s illustrations.

“The Jungle Book” by English author Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) is a collection of short animal stories with moral lessons that Kipling may have written for his daughter who died at age six in 1899. The stories appeared in magazines in 1893-94 and came out in book form from MacMillan Publishers in 1894. Kipling was born in India, spent the first six years of his childhood there and returned as an adult to work there for about six-and-a-half years. He put into his stories everything he knew about the Indian jungle, the best known of which are the three stories revolving around the adventures of an abandoned boy, Mowgli, who is raised by wolves. Other famous stories in the collection include “Rikki-Tikki-Tavi,” a heroic mongoose, and “Toomai of the Elephants,” a tale of a young elephant handler.
