Görgen, Bruno, Austrian psychiatrist (1777-1842).MareMagnum

Collection of 11 autograph letters signed. Vienna (Döbling), 1834-1838.

9 letters in-4to with a total of 20 ½ pp. (mainly with integral address panel and remains of red sealing wax) and 2 letters in-8vo with a total of 8 pp. = 28 ½ pp., all on bifolia. In German. Exceptional collection of doctor's letters written by the noted Viennese psychiatrist Bruno Görgen, all to the Budapest merchant Aloys von Heinrich concerning his emotionally disturbed wife who was receiving treatment at Görgen's private sanitarium in Döbling outside Vienna: - "As I see from your letter of the 19th inst., you cannot bring yourself to believe that your wife should write you such cordial letters, and you tell me almost outright that you think they must have been dictated. In this, my dear friend, you are much mistaken, for why should I wish to deceive you, or indeed anyone? For if I intended, as you appear to believe, to simplify matters for her, [...] I could very easily have set her trial period at three or four months instead of six. [...] I insist on six months due to the many relapses she has suffered within the last 13 years, and if she passes the remaining trial period without further difficulty, she may most assuredly be pronounced a cure. I have already begun to discuss with her all the improper things she did when her ailment broke out and also during her last illness, because [...] I must ascertain whether [...] she recalls the events that occurred. [...] She remembers having bet at least 2,500 guilders on the lottery, of which she won back 500 guilders simply because she bet on all 90 numbers [...]" (24 June 1834). - "A priest could not encourage a sinner more fervently that I did your wife: indeed she promises to heed my advice, so as to remain healthy in the future, but I fear that her promise may remain merely that. Her mental illness, her folly is removed, and has been so for a full six months, and I have subjected her to severe tests, but whether she will also give up her obstinacy, this I doubt [...]" (19 July 1834). - "This very minute I preached to your wife my last sermon and repeated to her everything she must do from now on to remain healthy even at home [...]" (31 Aug. 1834). - "It is with much regret that I heard of the renewal of your misfortunes, and from what you tell me I understand that the malady began quite as it did last time, with shopping, irritability, an obsession with diversions etc. [...]" (24 Aug. 1835). - "The day before yesterday, by coincidence, your wife was observed by one of my employees to be driving about the city in a hackney cab. I immediately made the report to the police. [...] So as to obviate having to transport back and forth a mad person, you should, my dear friend, take care that some authority in place, either the magistracy or the police, get in touch officially with the local police here [...]. Seated with her in the cab were a woman with two children, and a young man with a black moustache [...]" (27 Sept. 1835). - "On the 17th inst. your wife arrived here [...] She was as kind to me as could be, and to my people; her good humour continues; she talks, cries out, chatters like a lawyer, and has brought with her a good stack of records and papers, and she would probably petition all day the emperor, the consistory, the palatine and all the archdukes if only I allowed her [...]; to put it in a word, she is rather confused [...]" (20 May 1837). - "I hereby send the desired medical bill for Mr von Heinrich of Pesth, namely for board, treatment, medicine, laundry and everything else. [...] I would ask you kindly to report to Mr von Heinrich what trouble I am having with my patient, for she will have everything, buy everything she thinks of, and only the daintiest of all will do [...]" (28 May 1838). - In 1829 Görgen, a native of Trier, set up his "private asylum for the insane" in the former Henikstein Villa in Oberdöbling, introducing then-revolutionary treatment methods without coercive measures such as shackling or straight-jackets, instead focusing on ergotherapy. The patient's husband, Aloys von Heinrich, was the proprietor of "Wurm und Heinrich", a successful hardware and wine-selling business in Budapest, and also ran a small bank. - Occasional wrinkling; some browning and duststaining; a few nicks and tears to edges, but very well legible throughout. An uncommonly comprehensive ensemble of psychiatric medical reports from Vienna's Biedermeier period.

Hasenöhrl, Friedrich, Austrian physicist (1874-1915).MareMagnum

Autogr. manuscript. Probably Vienna, no date.

4 pp. in-folio and 1½ pp. in-4to. Black ink on paper; several pencil revisions. Discussing (inter alia) Poiseuille's Law and Stokes' Law; apparently penned in connection with Hasenöhrl's hydromechanics lecture (Mechanics II), which Hasenöhrl taught in the summer semesters of 1908, 1911, and 1914; possibly written for or during the concomitant seminar course. Pages 6 and 7 concern the theory of open and stopped pipes. - In his 1933 Nobel Prize acceptance speech, Erwin Schrödinger looked back on the gift of his teacher Hasenöhrl to discuss a subject matter in the lecture hall both extensively and closely: "The lecture cycle, which spanned eight semesters of five periods per week, treated the advanced theories of mechanics as well as the eigenvalue problems of continuum physics with the degree of detail that I would later need dearly - I have never been able to study from books with any ease [... He died in the War], and a feeling tells me that, but for that, it would be he who would be receiving this honor in my place today." In his 1904 treatise "On the Theory of Radiation in Moving Bodies", Hasenöhrl had applied the concept of "electromagnetic mass" to a cavity filled with radiation, arguing that any kind of thermal radiation provides such a body with an apparent increase of mass. This achievement, which makes the connection of energy and mass and - in its most radically compressed form "m = E/c²" - seems to anticipate Einstein's special theory of relativity, won Hasenöhrl the 1905 Haitinger Prize (at Boltzmann's suggestion) and was the basis for his appointment to the Vienna Chair of Physics the following year. In 1905, Einstein generalised Hasenöhrl's equation (which the latter had applied only to cavity radiation) and managed to embed it within an encompassing theory, thus arriving at the iconic "E=mc²" equation (for Hasenöhrl's role in the development of the equation cf. Stephen Boughn's recent article, "Fritz Hasenöhrl and E=mc²", in: The European Physical Journal H 38/1 [Jan. 2013], p. 1-18). Incidentally, Hasenöhrl taught Einstein's theory of relativity in his lectures - a highly uncommon course topic for the time. In 1911, Hasenöhrl participated in the historic first "Conseil Solvay", the invitation-only Brussels conference that united the world's elite of experimental and theoretical physicists to discuss the fundamental problems of their field. Themed "La théorie du rayonnement et les quanta", that first conference tackled the various approaches of classical physics and the emerging quantum theory; among the other participants were Einstein, Marie Curie, Ernest Rutherford, H. A. Lorentz, Wilhelm Wien, Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, and Henri Poincaré. Hasenöhrl also participated in the second Solvay Conference in 1913. - Edges slightly frayed and dusty, otherwise perfect. Of the utmost rarity: Hasenöhrl manuscripts are considered virtually unobtainable; auction records since 1975 list not a single leaf of writing in his hand (in contrast with more than 1000 records for Albert Einstein, more than 100 of which are manuscripts). The Göttingen State Library holds a 17-page transcript of Hasenöhrl's lecture on spherical functions (Cod. Ms. G. Herglotz E 15) in the hand of the student Gustav Herglotz (1881-1953), later professor of Mathematics at Leipzig and Göttingen. The Austrian Central Library of Physics keeps an archive of Hasenöhrl material: a single-box corpus containing mainly photographs, offprints, and photocopies of personal documents, but no manuscripts at all (with the exception of a single page of equations on the reverse of a letter from a bookseller). Several letters by Hasenöhrl are to be found in the personal archives of scholars (e. g., to Prof. Stefan Meyer, in the Archives of the Institute for Radium Research, Austrian Academy of Sciences). Cf. Stephen Boughn, "Fritz Hasenöhrl and E=mc²", in: The European Physical Journal H 38/1 [Jan. 2013], p. 1-18.

Hemingway, Ernest, American novelist, Nobel laureate (1899-1961).MareMagnum

Typescript letter signed ("Ernest Hemingway") with autograph corrections and postscript. Key West (Florida), 24. XII. 1935.

4to. 1¼ typescript pp., ¾ autograph page (in pencil). With typescript envelope. Important, unpublished letter to the leftist activist and writer Abner Green in New York, remarking on American literary circles and the use of advocating against fascism: "[...] But one thing you don't need to worry about is the way the boys think I'm lousy. If you are ever very popular you will be very unpopular sooner or later. Only one thing will avoid that and that is devoting your live [!] to being popular or being fashionable [autograph insertion: 'ie., Galsworthy - Lewis right now I think - maybe wrong'] and that means that you won't do anything worth a damn and will stink as soon as your are dead. I've insulted all the bastards who make and keep your ['fame', stricken out and corrected to:] reputation while you are doing it so I do not have to carry that as an added weight and have only my stuff to devote myself too [!]. As long as I can write will always be popular again sooner or later whether want to or not. What the boys say is what is fashionable. Hell I was fashionable as you want but when it was going on I stayed away from the country and never saw anybody that read my stuff. They don't really care anything about writing and they know nothing about it. Right now if I could write Hamlet the Marxian slanted critics would say it was lousy. But if I came out as a communist I could write straight shit slanted and they would say it was marvellous and world moving epochistic [...] It's funny though how literary people hate fishing and shooting. They also hate kidding. If you kid that means you can't really be any good because they wouldn't kid because that would mean a loss of their dignity [...] I was talking with Jack Lawson (John Howard Lawson) and I was kidding about suicide, making some joke about it and he walked out of the room announcing his brother committed suicide and he would hear no jokes about it. Well so had my old man and plenty of others in the family. What was this starting to prove? Oh yes you mustn't make jokes if you are a serious writer. I think you slipped on the Malady of Power piece. That was meant to reach people that the other one wouldn't; the people who if they saw a serious piece by me wouldn't read it. They sold 50,000 copies of that notes on the next war in Hungary in pamphlet form. The piece on Wings Over Africa will raise plenty hell there too and will do plenty of damage smuggled into Italy as a pamphlet. What's better? To do that? Or sit around with Sidney Kingsley, Clifford Odets, Archibald MacLeish and Genevieve Taggard at a restaurant and discuss steps we must take against War and Fascism? Well lets not get into that. The difference is that if you go to the meetings and put your name on the letterheads you are fashionable and if you do your goddamndest against War and Fascism knowing what both of them are and haveing [!] seen plenty of both and how to hit them where they hurt and keep on trying to do it why you are a shit who writes [inserted: 'rubbish'] for the Men's Clothing Trade Journal [... ]". - In the autograph postscript Hemingway promises to send Green a copy of a text published in "Esquire" and his 1935 work of nonfiction "Green Hills of Africa", also mentioning his wish to settle down and write long novels: "Don't bother to spend 50c on the Feb. Esquire. I get one free and will tear the piece out and send it to you. You were smart about the country in Green Hills - I had to learn to do that you see - Learning my trade if I could ever of write a big novel sometime with all the different kinds of people and the country and the whole damned thing it would be worth having learned to do - after I go where I want to go and see what I want to see before I die. But I have worked hard enough to be entitled to live my life for a while because you are dead so damned soon. Am going to settle down somewhere where there is a good trout stream and do nothing but write every morning - and fish every afternoon, write long novels. But not ready to do that yet. Haven't you any curiosity about the different continents or places?". - Inherently fragile; browned, edges frayed and chipped, small marginal tears. Provenance: sold in 1991 as part of Abner Green's papers at Sotheby's New York (12 December, lot 47). Later sold separately by Sotheby's on 25 Nov 1997 (lot 84). Not in Baker, Selected Letters.

Liszt, Franz, Komponist (1811-1886).MareMagnum

Eigenh. Brief mit U. ("F. Liszt"). Weimar, 18. IX. 1848.

4½ SS. auf 3 Bll. Kl.-4to. Davon 3 SS. auf Deutsch und 1½ SS. auf Englisch. An seinen Verleger Julius Kistner, dem er u. a. die Zusendung von "Musik [möglicherweise "Die Macht der Musik"], Gedicht, etc." ankündigt und hinsichtlich Widmung an Großherzogin Maria Pawlowna präzisiert: "wenn möglich, bitte ich Sie mir sobald wie möglich die Correctur davon zuzusenden, indem ich wünsche, noch bevor meiner Abreise, welche nun nicht mehr lang hinausgeschoben seyn dürfte, Seiner K. H. der Frau Grossherzogin welche die Widmung angenommen hat, ein Exemplar einzuhändigen. NB - Das Widmung's Formular muss bloss auf einem 2ten Titel Blatt wie es jetzt überhaupt üblich ist mit der dazu gehörigen Krone (vielleicht beyde Kronen, die russische und die sächsische) aber im genauesten Style, s'il vous plait, mit den passendsten, geschmackvollsten Verzierungen gestochen werden. In sich selbst, scheint mir das Stück zu meinen wenig schlechteren zu gehören; Fräulein Haller hat es dieser Tage probirt, und mit ganz sympathischer Wirkung in einem kleinen Cercle vorgetragen [...]". - Weiters habe er zwei Lieder Mendelssohns ("Wasserfahrt" und "Jägers Abschied") zu "einem Stücke verbunden, welches Ihnen wahrscheinlich als Verlag's Artikel conveniren wird. Ich habe es für mittelmässige Spieler berechnet um es möglichst gangbar zu machen. 3. Ditto "Wasserfahrt" und "Jägers Abschied" von Freund Kroll auf eine sehr künstlerische Weise vierhändig gesetzt - und von mir revidirt [...] 4. Ein kleines Lied von einigen 20 Tackten - welches wohl zu kurz seyn wird um es einzeln herauszugeben [...]". Zuletzt bespricht er in einem amüsanten zweisprachigen Diskurs das Erscheinen seines von Kistner vorgeschlagenen Werkverzeichnisses, macht Vorschläge für den Stil dieser Veröffentlichung, vergleicht sie mit dem Stil seiner Bearbeitungen zweier Symphonien Beethovens und dankt für ausgezeichnete Zigarren. - Stellenweise gering fleckig; Bl. 3 mit einem kleinen Randeinriss, sonst gut erhalten.
