Baker’s Art Gallery first founded by Lorenzo Baker 1834-1924 during the Civil War produced innumerable family portraits commercial images photographs of famous people and during the 1890’s a series of reverse glass albumen mammoth images. In this image the globe being studied by the young pair appears to be an 18 inch Rand McNally terrestrial globe with the young boy seated atop the desk and a Renaissance revival chair behind the flowing gown of the young girl. The others marketed from about 1896-1900 included a mother and two daughters “The Recital†and another image of young girl with mother painting and holding an artist’s palette all seemingly with same models.

FIRST EDITION The work is attributed to Samuel Lorenzo Knapp 19 January 1783-8 July 1838 was a United States author and lawyer. and Benjamin Silliman 8 August 1779 -24 November 1864 and who was an American chemist one of the first American professors of science at Yale University and the first to distill petroleum. He was also famous for his attack on Republicanism Mary Wollstonecraft 27 April 1759 -10 September 1797 who was an 18th century British writer philosopher and advocate of women's rights. Silliman also wrote against William Godwin. Both Knapp & Silliman were prominent scholars and writers of the time and we believe that if they actually did write this book it was surely in the early years of their life. It is noteworthy that DNB does not cite this work for either of these authors nor for Wollstonecraft. She posed as a Hindu in this work! Regardless this illusive work is seldom found. Due to the poor quality of the paper copies when found are commonly foxed as is ours. Samuel Knapp wrote this monograph while an undergraduate at Dartmouth University. He discusses the very early concept of 'women's rights' which were almost non-existant at that time. Essentially an early study of Hindu poetry and the SONG OF SONGS. Sold "as is" in the foxed condition "with all faults" but complete otherwise. Not refundable so please inquire prior to purchase for more or better scans.

1866List806Washington: For the Author 1866. 8vo blue wraps 42 pp. Apparently a gift copy from Curtis. Near fine overall with minimal wear. Near Fine. A scarce survival from Lorenzo Snow’s trial in the U.S. Supreme Court for polygamy under the Edmunds Act where two of his three convictions were eventually overturned as the court determined that the offense was continuous and therefore only warranted a single conviction. George Ticknor Curtis defended Snow and published this edition of his speech himself. Curtis argued that Snow had lived continuously with one woman and defended his right to have multiple “wives†as a matter of religious freedom. This copy with “From the Author†on the top margin of the title wrap apparently presented as a gift from Curtis. For the Author unknown
35601607, Paris, Pagnerre, 1860; in-8, bradel percaline bleue. 2 ff., XXVII pp., 356 pp. EDITION ORIGINALE en français des mémoires de Lorenzo D’Aponte, aventurier et auteur italien né en 1749 à Ceneda, mort en 1838. Il est surtout connu pour avoir écrit plusieurs livrets d’opéras pour Salieri, Martini et Mozart ( Noces de Figaro et Don Juan). Sa vie aventureuse d’exilé chronique s’acheva en Amérique vers où il avait embarqué en 1805 pour fuir des créanciers. Ses Mémoires parurent en anglais (New-York 1823-1827 en 4 volumes). Il y relate les vicissitudes d’une carrière aussi longue qu’agitée. En tête du volume se trouve une lettre de Lamartine adressée au traducteur français : « Voici les Mémoires les plus originaux et les plus anecdotiques que l’Italie ait offerts à la curiosité publique(…). D’Aponte est, dans ses Mémoires, aussi écrivain que Goldoni, aussi léger que le chevalier de Grammont, aussi aventureux que Gil Blas, aussi plaisant que Figaro, aussi malheureux que Gilbert. Ressuscitez cet homme enseveli mal à propos. Ses mémoires introuvables étaient enfouis dans cette forêt d’Amérique qu’on appelle New-York ». Lamartine tenait un exemplaire de l’édition originale américaine de Saint-Hilaire. Il le confia à La Chavanne pour qu’il puisse en rédiger une traduction. Rousseurs.
1796LIST0119Madrid: Imprenta Real 1796. First Edition. Good. The first bilingual edition of Pinckney’s Treaty of San Lorenzo which ended the West Florida Conflict by establishing an amicable agreement between Spain and the United States for the navigation of the Mississippi River. Thomas Pinckney signed as a representative of the United States and Manuel de Godoy signed in the name of Carlos IV of Spain. The agreement’s effects were far reaching as the ceded land that became the Mississippi Territory - particularly the Natchez region - formed a gateway for the United States expansion into the Southwest by destabilizing Spanish power. A landmark treaty uncommon in its first bilingual edition. Rear wrap and final leaf detached and lacking the passports. Worming and chips to wraps contents well preserved good condition overall. <br /> <br /> Palau 339329; Sabin 96587. Imprenta Real unknown

In the spirit of the Enlightenment this work is not meant to be just theoretical but is also designed to facilitate the construction of precision instruments. </p><p>Although some authors such as the Danish G. Mohr had sought before Mascheroni the solution of certain geometrical problems by using the compass alone he was able to deal with the subject of the geometry of the compass with such depth and in such a general way to make his forerunner forgotten.</p><p>Lorenzo Mascheroni 1750 - 1800 was an Italian mathematician scholar and academic who since 1778 taught physics and mathematics at the Bergamo seminary.</p><p>His most important contributions concern mathematical analysis with studies related to integral calculus and natural logarithms construction science with its original studies on arc-breaking calculus and geometry with the demonstration that solvable problems with row and compasses can also be solved with just the compass.</p><p>His name is also linked to the Euler-Mascheroni constant of which he calculated the first 32 decimal digits. The Euler – Mascheroni constant also called Euler's constant is a mathematical constant recurring in analysis and number theory usually denoted by the lowercase Greek letter gamma γ.</p><p>It is defined as the limiting difference between the harmonic series and the natural logarithm.</p><p>Napoleon whose passion for science and mathematics is known met Mascheroni in 1796 during the invasion northern Italy and was intrigued by his theories ion the use of the compasses becoming they say a great expert. "General we could expect from you everything but geometry lessons": with this sentence the mathematician Laplace and Lagrange welcomed Napoleon's explanations on Mascheroni's constructions whose book just a year after the Italian edition in 1798 was translated into French by Charette.</p><p>Conditions: Light marks of use along the text small warmholes never touching the text in general very good copy printed on strong paper untrimmed and uncut in its original paper wrapper.</p><p>References: RICCARDI P.
