MACIVER, Robert Morrison.
As a tale that is told. The autobiography of R. M. MacIver. Chicago, University Press, 1968.
8vo, pp. ix, [1 blank], 269, [1 blank]; photographic plates; an excellent copy in original green cloth, photographic illustrated dustjacket, very slightly dusty with some light marks and chips, but in very good condition; bookseller’s somewhat obtrusive ‘autographed copy’ sticker to front wrapper; authorial presentation copy with two inscriptions to ‘my good long-time friend Milla Alihan, in warm regard, R. M. MacIver’, the other to Alihan, offered with MacIver’s ‘winged spirit’.
First edition, a nice presentation copy of MacIver’s somewhat self-indulgent autobiography, an interesting account of American sociology in the 1920s and 30s including his time teaching at Barnard College, the women’s college of Columbia University.
