After centuries of neglect, the Villa, its two palaces, and its lush gardens were destroyed in the 1880s in order to make way for the central railroad station in Rome, the Roma Termini.

New York: Scientific American, 1911. First Edition. Very good. Single sheet (398 x 275 mm), with large illustration reproduced from the Illustrated London News (two short tape repairs to outer margins, not affecting text); clippings of the accompanying text (2 columns) loosely inserted.

Over the course of his career, Fessenden published more than 150 scientific papers and patented some 230 inventions, mostly in electromagnetic signaling but also in fields as diverse as solar energy, book and leather production, and even the parking of automobiles. Indeed, his interests were unusually broad: a freemason since 1899, he…

Washington DC: The Folger Shakespeare Library, 2001. Softcover. Very Good. Quarto, 158 pages, illustrated in black and white. ¶ Through the underlinings, emendations, and other marginalia common to early modern readers, this title shows the variety of ways in which readers have related to books over the centuries. The use of books as repositories of birth records, and marginalia (scholarly, esoteric, and profane) is also examined.
