> > Designed to showcase the outstanding collections of the late Henry
Posner,
> > Sr., this digital archive contains close to 622 titles from the landmark

Carnegie

may
> > search by title, subject, publication date, or author, if so inclined.
The

> > number. Some of the works here include _An essay on the principle of
> > population_ by Thomas Malthus, _Opticks_ by Sir Isaac Newton, and
Descartes'
> > _Discourse on Method_ . This fine collection is rounded out by several
short
> > pieces on Mr. Posner, his collecting preferences, and the importance of
the
> > collection as a whole. [KMG]

"When in doubt, heat it up and hit it with a hammer."
 Blacksmith's credo.

 If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it is probably not a
cat.

Never a horse that cain't be rode,
And never a rider who cain't be throwed....
