Entirely New and Revised Edition. Original yellow wrappers (printed in black and red), 130 pages, 7 by 4 1/2 inches.

By Jerry Thomas, Formerly Principal Bar-Tender at the Metropolitan Hotel, New York, and the Planters' House, St. Louis." Jerry Thomas and publishers Dick & Fitzgerald introduced the first cocktail mixing guide in America in 1864 bound with Schultz' Manual for the Manufacture of Cordials which is dropped for this edition. This third edition is notable for containing numerous cocktails that gained popularity in the 1880's and for its inclusion of the Martinez, recognized by cocktail aficionados, as a prelude to the Martini (made with gin, vermouth, bitters, two dashes of maraschino, and ice). Also very likely debuted in this edition is a variant of the Manhattan, (made with vermouth, rye whiskey, bitters, two dashes of curacao or maraschino, and ice). A important work of American bar tending and extremely uncommon in wrappers, more commonly found (when found at all) in cloth. An unlikely survivor given its fragile construction. Very Good, about a centimeter of loss at top spine end, nicked at lower spine end, wear to spine edges, some fading at spine, tiny nick and closed tear at top front wrap. Item #29336

First Edition. "Thrilling adventures in the early days of the English and French settlers among American Indians". A contemporary reviewer writes: "If Miss May Wynne had not furnished her story Mog Megone with an impossible Jesuit, in whom pious devotion runs always side by side with the most unscrupulous fanaticism, we should have less hesitation in recommending it to Catholic readers ; but Father Ralle is such a patent intriguer, to say nothing worse, that he must take his place among the Jesuits of Protestant fiction. The story deals with French and Indian conspiracies against the English settlers of New Hampshire and New England ; and as Father Ralle is a Frenchman, and devoted to his native cause—well, it is easy to see how he becomes in this tale the head and front of the offending side. The story, as a story, abounds in excitement, and stripped of its anti Catholic bias would hold plenty of commendable material." Good, some dampstaining to cloth (and frontis), soiling to page edges, in Good dustjacket, dampstain to verso of front panel, shallow edge chipping. Item #28525
