THE GROLIER CLUB ITER HIBERNICUM.
Edwards, George (editor)
At the end of May in 1997, various Grolier Club members visited Ireland. During the trip, the members presented some of fine Grolier Club publications to leading Irish cultural institutions and left some titles including Grolier 100 and One Hundred Books Famous in Medicine to be housed in the National Library of Ireland, Trinity College Library, Marsh's Library, and Saint Patrick's College. Many other publications can now be found in the Chester Beatty Library and the National Gallery of Ireland.
This book describes the many voyages adventured during the Club's trip to Ireland. It describes the group's pilgrimage to Malahide, their visit to Maynooth, various activities, Irish homes and gardens, and the many splendors explored during their visit. The catalogue is illustrated with photographs and includes a farewell poem, a list of the travelers, and an itinerary of their daily activities.

AN APPEAL TO THE CHRISTIAN PUBLIC.
by (Hooker, Herman)
Listed in Sabin no. 32818 with twenty entries on OCLC. A pamphlet protesting charity publication societies, such as the American Tract Society, which published religious works at or below cost. Hooker was a retired Episcopalian minister and bookseller who thought that the church "engaging in merchandise" would taint its divinity and have a secularizing influence, while at the same time, producing books at or below cost and running off charity took those charitable contributions away from other "needful objects". Hooker encouraged people to withhold their contributions to the societies to "force them to live by the economical management of their business" through cost-saving measures, such as removing illustrations and only producing expository texts for the betterment of the Christian readers. Despite these protests, The American Tract Society, which was established in 1825, is still active today. Signed by previous owner with his address on front wrapper, wrappers uniformly darkened except on front where another text used to sit, stitching on spine gone so leaves loose, some staining and wear on wrappers.
