Manuscript inscription "Rev. Abiel Abbot D.D. with the best love of his nephew A. A. Livermore." Horace Mann politician and educator came from humble beginnings but by his own exertions he was graduated at Brown in 1819. After his graduation he was tutor in Latin and Greek in Brown entered the Litchfield Connecticut law-school in 1821 and in 1823 was admitted to the bar opening an office in Dedham Massachusetts. He was elected to the legislature in 1827 and was active in the interests of education public charities and laws for the suppression of intemperance and lotteries. He established the State lunatic asylum at Worcester and in 1833 was chairman of its board of trustees. He continued to be returned to the legislature as representative from Dedham till his removal to Boston in 1833 when he entered into partnership with Edward G. Boring. In the practice of his profession he adopted the principle never to take the unjust side of any cause and he is said to have gained four fifths of the cases in which he was engaged the influence that he exerted over the juries being due in a great measure to the confidence that all felt in his honesty of purpose. He was elected to the State Senate from Boston in 1833 was its President 1836-7. From 1837 to 1848 he was Secretary of the Massachusetts Board of Education. In the spring of 1848 he was elected to the U.S. Congress as a Whig to fill the vacancy caused by the death of John Quincy Adams. His first speech in that body was in advocacy of its right and duty to exclude slavery from the territories. In 1850 he was engaged in a controversy with Daniel Webster in regard to the extension of slavery and the fugitive-slave law. Mann was defeated by a single vote at the ensuing nominating convention by Mr. Webster's supporters; but on appealing to the people as an Independent Anti-Slavery candidate he was re-elected serving from 1848 to 1853. In September 1852 he was nominated for Governor of Massachusetts by the Free-Soil Party and the same day was chosen President of Antioch College. Failing in the election for governor he accepted the Presidency of the college in which he continued until his death. He carried that institution through pecuniary and other difficulties and satisfied himself of the practicality of co-education.

1896W2086London: Fortescue Mann 1896. There is some debate over whether the London views by Fortescue Mann were taken by John Fortescue Mann 1848-1897 or by his son Reginald Fortescue Mann 1881-1916.

1900010662Richmond Virginia 1900. Envelope or Cover. Very good. This business envelope bears the printed return address of Valentine’s Meat-Juice Company of Richmond Virgina. It was sent from Richmond to the Director of the Private Maternity Hospital of Berlin Germany. It is franked with a 5-cent Grant stamp Scott #281 that has been canceled with a Barry Postal Supply Company machine postmark dated 21 February 1900. The reverse is filled with assorted postal labels handstamps in various colors and manuscript annotations related to its delivery despite having an insufficient address. In nice shape.<br /> <br /> <p>In downtown Richmond Mann S. Valentine a prosperous merchant lived with his family in a large neoclassical home. In 1870 his wife Anne Maria fell ill from a “severe and protracted derangement of the organs of digestion†that prevented her from eating solid food. Doctors had given up on curing Anne Maria so Valentine took it upon himself to concoct his own highly concentrated protein and iron tonic which he distilled from a mix of eggs and beef broth. It worked wonders. <br /> <br /> <p>Valentine ever a merchant began to create more which sold well in his store. Seeing the possibility of ever-increasing sales he began to canvass local then regional then nationally known physicians for their endorsements. Some replied with glowing reviews reporting they used it effectively not just as a nutritional supplement but as a treatment for everything from nausea to dysentery and cholera. Valentine began to publish these reviews in advertisements and business boomed. He took his meat juice to the International Paris Exposition in 1878 and introduced it to a global market. Recognizing the importance of physician recommendations Valentine began to contact European doctors for their endorsements. This envelope was no doubt used for that purpose.<br /> <br /> <p>In 1906 the newly created Food and Drug Administration began its crackdown on patent medicines. Seeing the writing on the wall Valentine stopped promoting his meat juice as a curative and began to market it as a cooking supplement for flavoring various dishes. As such it was even more popular than medicine and became a staple on grocery store shelves throughout the country for years until demand finally wore off and the factory located at Brook Road and Chamberlayne Avenue shut its doors.</p> . Valentine amassed a fortune during the last quarter of the 19th century and became an inveterate collector of art and artifacts. In his will he provided a large endowment to establish a museum to house his collection and it much expanded continues in operation as the famed Valentine Museum in Richmond.</p> <br /> <br /> <p>For more information see “The history of Valentine’s Meat Juice†at the RIC Today website and Castellano’s “In the 1800s Valentine’s Meant a Bottle of Meat Juice†at the Atlas Obscura website.<br /> <br /> <p>Old meat juice bottles are frequently sold on or encountered in antique malls. Company envelopes used to request endorsements from domestic physician endorsements occasionally appear on or in philatelic auctions. Evidence of Valentines attempts to secure international professional recommendations are seldom encountered; this is the first we have seen.</p> . unknown
