The following books are being kicked out of the Academy's archival library for being out of scope. I would be happy to send them to anyone who might have use for them.

 

Dewey, John, and James H. Tufts. Ethics (New York: Henry Holt, 1932). Revised edition. Formerly owned by the Nurses Reference Library at Memorial Hospital in Wilmington, and bears its stamps.

 

Hallam, Henry. History of Europe During the Middle Ages (New York: Colonial Press, 1899). Revised edition, vol. I. Pages untrimmed.

 

Hallam, Henry. View of the State of Europe During the Middle Ages (New York: Hurst & Co, n.d.) Vol. III of four. Inscribed on flyleaf to Edw. W. DeKnight [? -- difficult to read], Washington, DC, Nov. '91 [i.e. 1891], from Daniel Fraser.

 

Jewish Holy Scriptures (Washington, DC: Government Printing Office, 1942). A pocket-size book made for Jewish soldiers. Oddly, has a leaflet on "How to Receive Holy Communion" stuck into the front.

 

Rollin, Charles. Ancient History of the Egyptians, Carthaginians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Medes and Persians, Macedonians, and Grecians (London: W. Otridge and Son, 1808). Eight-volume work, volume 4 missing. Desperately needs rebinding; text blocks are solid, but covers are detached, missing, and/or plagued with red rot. Books bear bookplate of Dr. Alfred C. Wood of Philadelphia.

 

Roth, Cecil. A Short History of the Jewish People (London: East and West Library, 1948). Illustrated edition, revised and enlarged.

 

Peattie, Donald Culross. Green Laurels: The Lives and Achievements of the Great Naturalists (New York: Literary Guild, 1936).

 

Tonks, William. Medicine Men's Mistakes (New York: Southern Publishers, 1940). Not actually about medicine -- it's a rant against the New Deal.

 

Weber, Alfred. History of Philosophy (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1909).

 

Westropp, Hodder. Handbook of Archaeology: Egyptian -- Greek -- Etruscan -- Roman (London: George Bell and Sons, 1878). Covers missing.
