Berlin: Georg Reimer 1892. 321 x 238 mm. Original half cloth printed boards. Minor foxing but fine otherwise.</p> <p>First Edition. The first study of the cartilage changes in achondroplasia a disorder of bone growth that causes dwarfism. "Kaufmann specified that the deformity occurred as a result of a disturbance in the growth rate of skeletal cartilage. Because of this interpretation he renamed it chondrodystrophia. This name has been more acceptable than the older term since it better describes the lesion as a disturbance in the growth of cartilage rather than an absence of it" Bick Source Book of Orthopedics p. 155.

Original plain wrappers with map of Pennsylvania Central Railroad route and connecting towns printed on inner wraps edges tattered with some loss front wrap detached. Chip at blank inner margin of title leaf. Good. Signed in type by Peter Kaufmann Chairman; Jac. S. Brownewell Vice-President; Wm. Prince Substitute; John Raber Recording Secretary; John M. Schneider Corresponding Secretary; and Conrad Schweitzer Treasurer. <br /> <br /> An early German-American organization whose Constitution emphasizes the necessity of "Union and concert of action" to enhance "the general welfare." It derives its legitimacy from the Declaration of Independence and announces the "Absolute equality of innate human rights." The founders determine to organize "themselves into a band of brothers pledged unto one another to be faithful unto death declaring 'in Union there is strength'." Despite the suggestions of an early industrial trade union in what would become the Nation's industrial heartland the Union purports to elevate the whole person-- encouraging the pursuit of knowledge reining in government encroachments and spending and insisting that government is the servant of the people. Peter Kaufmann who appears to have been the prime mover of the organization was a Canton author almanac-maker bookseller publisher and clearly of an entrepreneurial bent. <br /> OCLC 17342629 6.

Let me write of the BIRTH OF PARTICLE PHYSICS nevertheless define it to take place in April 1897 and appoint Kaufmann and Thomson as keepers of the gate. Their respective experimental arrangements.are of comparable quality their experimental results equally good."Pais "Inward Bound" p. 84."In 1897 three physicists Weichert Kaufmann and Thomson in independent experiments found that cathode rays are indeed negatively charged particles having the peculiar property that the ratio of the mass and the charge of these particles is in the order of 1000 times smaller than for the lightest ion the ion of the hydrogen. The term 'electron' which had previously been used to denote the 'elementary charge' was soon adopted as the name of the new particle. The electron was the first of the later so-called 'elementary particles' to be discovered." Siegmund Brandt "The Harvest of a Century" No. 4 p.16 ff. </em> unknown

186654554Mechanicsburg 1866. Large 4to approx. 225 leaves red calf-backed cloth-covered boards; an onion skin holograph letter-book of retained correspondence; some bleed through and browning perhaps a dozen or so letters faint to the point of being unreadable but most are legible. Levi Kauffman whose great grandparents came from Germany in 1717 was born in 1833 in Lancaster County Pennsylvania of Christian and Anna Erb Kauffman members of the Reformed Mennonite Church. Levi Kauffman moved to Mechanicsburg in 1854 and set up a hardware and dry goods store. Between 1859-62 he was a cashier in the Merkel and Mumma Bank which became the First National Bank of Mechanicsburg. Later Kauffman was a Collector of Revenue and cashier at the 2nd National Bank 1864-69. In this capacity his correspondents were various officials in regards to the collection of tax revenues for it appears mainly liquor and cigars. Most of the correspondents are Pennsylvanian: from Carlisle York Newport Mechanicsburg Philadelphia New Bloomfield Shippensburg Harrisburg but also Chicago New York and Washington D.C. A letter to Hon. Hugh McCulloch of the US Treasury deals with a recommendation for the Inspector of Spirits. A letter on June 8 to George Schneider Collector in Chicago deals with a seized shipment of cigars but "the cigars had been shipped long before regulations in circular 40 had been promulgated." Kauffman says Mr. Miller who was selling the cigars was "a poor man but of good character" and his shipment should be released to him without penalty. In July Kauffman writes to Hon. E. A. Rollins the Commissioner of Internal Revenue in an unsuccessful attempt to retire and get a soldier appointed as his successor. There are also a few letters relative to church business such as one addressed to Brother A. Hosletter of Shippensburg and some with political content such as a letter to the Governor of Pennsylvania J. W. Geary concerning an appointment for the Supt. of State Printing. There are two or three other letters written to Geary. Another letter with political content is to Hon. John W. Forney who at the time was Secretary of the Senate in Washington DC concerning appointments made by Gov. Geary. In another letter to Forney Kaufmann writes: "It is very seldom that I taste wine or any liquor but I have some of this "California" in my hand and believing it better than most foreign wines I thought I would send you some. Then too it is American which makes it better." There are also a few personal letters addressed to his brother C. Christian S. Kauffman in Columbia concerning money borrowed. An interesting set of detailed letters from a businessman concerning financial and political events of the time. <br/><br/> hardcover books
