This book was released on 2017-10-16 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the John Boyd Thacher Collection of Incunabula We have in New England a certain number of families who consti tute what may be called the Academic Races. Their names have been on college catalogues for generation after generation. They have filled the learned professions, more especially the ministry, from the Old colonial days to our own time. If aptitudes for the acquisition of know ledge can be bred into a family we know what we may expect of a descendant of one of the Academic Races. Other things being equal, he will take more naturally, more easily, to his books. His features will be more pliable, his voice will be more flexible, his whole nature more plastic than those of the youth with less favoring antecedents. The gift of genius is never to be reckoned upon beforehand it is always a surprise, but it is born with great advantages when the stock from which it springs has been long under cultivation.

This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Collection of Books, Manuscripts, and Works of Art, Belonging to Mr. Henry Probasco, Cincinnati, Ohio Several catalogues being required for special purposes, it was thought desirable to print a limited number, the most of which will be given to public and private libraries and bibliophile friends. The present collection was accumulated during years which were devoted mainly to the duties of an extensive business. With scant time for needful studies, limited means for buying, and few opportunities in Cincinnati, until recently, for obtaining bibliographical information, its deficiencies are apparent. Without any pretensions, therefore, to consideration as a Library, which it is not, it may claim the attention of bibliophiles as possessing that peculiar interest which attaches to any valuable collection of books as reflecting in some degree the individuality and personal tastes of its owner. With a desire to add interest to the collection, important additions were made to it during an eighteen months' tour in 1866-67.
