Pittsburgh and Lake Erie R.R
Rare Books
This is the story of the first 100 years of the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie Railroad. From a modest start in 1879 as a locally controlled railroad the P&LE became, by 1900, one of the great traffic arteries of the country. The narrative chronicles why the railroad was built, who organized it, who financed and built it, and who ran it after it was built. The subsequent development of the railroad, its freight and passenger services, stations, terminals, bridges, steam and diesel motive power, etc., make up the main part of the book, explaining how the railroad earned the nickname "Little Giant." Included are complete rosters of steam and diesel motive power, a line profile, appropriate maps, and several paintings by Howard Fogg--Adapted from jacket.

The train from Pittsburgh
Rare Books
"To Tom Bridges, the train that is speeding east from Pittsburgh becomes the symbol of his crisis. All the threads of Tom's life connect during the twenty-four hours before he must meet that train. He must face the challenge involved in his promise to a man who is on the train and who has placed his faith and his future in Tom's uncertain hands. He must search his conscience for the answer to another man's strange request. And he must choose between his fascinating, cruel wife and the mistress with whom he might find peace. For Tom Bridges, who has somehow, in the years since the war, strayed from his convictions and lost the capacity for courage and for love that is more than passion, these crucial hours are the summation of all that he has been and all that he has known"--From dust jacket flap.

Green, Henry. "Emblem-Book Titles 20772 [co…?] Imitated - Henry Green" Manuscript: 122 pages
Manuscripts
This collection is arranged in two parts--Manuscripts and Correspondence. While the bulk of the collection contains questionnaires ("Modele de La Formule No. 4") and surveys ("Liste No. II") written in French, select materials contain correspondence, publication announcements, and various drafts of Green's publication of Andrea Alciati and His Books of Emblems: A Biographical and Bibliographical Study, which was later published in 1872. Museums, university libraries, public libraries, personal libraries, and other institutions throughout Europe and the United States responded to Green's request to locate such materials. Such organizations included the Hague Royal Library, the Sir William Stirling-Maxwell Library, the Cambridge University Library, the Coppenhagen Royal Library, the Amiens Library, the Royal Library of the University of Turin, the Leuven University Library, and much more. Recipients who acted as the liaisons for the aforementioned repositories included modern emblem specialists (G.S. Cautley and Sir William Stirling-Maxwell), librarians, and library staff. Since a large extent of the materials received were written in English, French, German, and Italian, different spelling variation of the name Andrea Alciati were used including Andreas Alciatus and Andrea Aliciato.
