I'm looking for a photo-copy of the title page and the contents
(reverse side) of an old book published by McGraw-Hill "How to run a
lathe" by JJ O'Brien and MW O'Brien. It is probably about 1930. Chapter
1 starts on an early tree lathe and most of the content is on southbend
lathes. Many thanks.

All the Lindsay books are good, although some are a little
"strange."

(George McDuffee)

There is something to be said for government by a great aristocracy
which has furnished leaders to the nation in peace and war for generations;
even a democrat like myself must admit this.

But there is absolutely nothing to be said for government by a plutocracy,
for government by men very powerful in certain lines and gifted with the "money touch,"
but with ideals which in their essence are merely those of so many glorified pawnbrokers.

Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), U.S. Republican (later Progressive) politician, president. Letter, 15 Nov. 1913.
