1933145972Cleveland Ohio: The World Syndicate Publishing Co 1933. First edition of this biographical history of a frontier legend in pictures; from the library of Philemon Tecumseh Sherman. Oblong 48mo original pictorial boards illustrated with depictions of the life of Kit Carson on each page. P. T. Sherman's bookplate tipped in. In very good condition with toning and some splitting to the exterior hinge. General William Tecumseh Sherman’s son P. T. Sherman was a lawyer in New York specializing in labor and insurance and was elected a member of the New York Board of Alderman in the late 1880s. In the early 1900s he was appointed the New York Commissioner of Labor. He transferred his library to his niece Eleanor Sherman Fitch the granddaughter of General Sherman through his eldest daughter Maria “Minnie†Ewing Sherman Fitch before he died. Until now this book was held at the family estate in Washington County Pennsylvania. Christopher Houston Carson was an American a fur trapper wilderness guide Indian agent and U.S. Army officer. Having fought bravely in both the Mexican-American War and the American Civil War Kit Carson became a legendary symbol of America's frontier experience which influenced twentieth century erection of statues and monuments public events and celebrations imagery by Hollywood and the naming of geographical places. Although he was famous for much of his life for his fearlessness and skillful combat historians in later years have written that Kit Carson did not like want or even fully understand the fame that he experienced during his life.

1905021468pre-1905. Engraving. Old dampstaining and soiling to bottom blank margin with only a very slight effect on the signature. Easily Very Good or better. Early 3-3/4" x 5-3/4" engraving from a photograph on a 7" x 10" sheet tipped to a slightly larger sheet of Helen Keller's famous teacher subject of the play and movie THE MIRACLE WORKER SIGNED in ink below the image: "Anne Mansfield Sullivan." At the age of 7 nearly blind from an illness two years before and recently having suffered the loss of her mother Sullivan was abandoned by her father in an orphanage with no formal educational facilities. Through her own will she managed to be placed in the Perkins Institute for the Blind from which she graduated as class valedictorian after regaining much of her eyesight from a series of operations. She began teaching Helen Keller when the deaf and blind child was seven and by all accounts quite undisciplined. Sullivan attended classes with Keller and tutored her through the Perkins Institute The Cambridge School for Young Ladies and Radcliffe College all along achieving a measure of success with her unusual student previously unheard of. After Keller's formal education Anne Sullivan continued to assist her by accompanying Keller on her travels and on various lecture tours. Sullivan married a young Harvard instructor John Albert Macy in 1905 and started going by the name Anne Sullivan Macy thus dating this engraving before that date. The three lived together until 1912 when the Macys separated. After Keller's death in 1968 her ashes were placed next to her beloved companions Anne Sullivan and Polly Thomson in the St. Joseph's Chapel of Washington Cathedral. <br/><br/> unknown

Further content relating to anaesthesia. Dana Fras. Jr.: Mesmerism pp.425-428. Wallace W.Clay: Remarks on the inhalation of ether previous to surgical operations pp.435-436. By a Correspondent who has no Property in Patent Rights: Are inventions in surgery and in chemistry legitimate subjects for patents pp.436-438 On the front inner wrapper appears for the third time in the Bost. Med. Surg. Jo. the famous advertising: " Morton's Letheon. General Circular . Public Caution" Boston Nov.26. 1846 W.T.G. Morton" 42 lines. "Stimulated by the appearance of the paper by Dr. Bigelow Dr.F. Dana Jr. of Boston sent to the Boston Medical Surgical Journal a spirited defense of mesmerism in which he said that mesmerism had been tested much longer than anesthesia produced by sulfuric ether. He referred to the work of Elliotson in England said that the Section of the Royal Academy of France had approved mesmerism in 1831 and claimed that Baron Cuvier Gabriel Andral Francois Broussais and Mathew Bailllie all had strongly approved mesmerism. The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal however always had been contemptuous of mesmerism." cf. Keys p. 29 "The December 23 issue of the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal contained five articles relating to ether anesthesia. The first was from J. D. Mansfield of South Reading a physician who reported that Flagg's views on the inhalation of ethereal vapor in certain surgical operations "were those of the profession generally in this region." He ended his communication by describing the inhalation by some of his friends at a recent social party of a mixture of sulfuric ether water morphine and a few drops of sulfuric acid with the effects paralleling those of ether when sniffed. "One young lady in particular came so completely under the influence of it that had she an aching tooth I think I should have tried my skill at extracting." Mansfield's letter was followed by a longish article by Francis Dana Jr. entitled "Mesmerism."M Since the editorial following Bigelow's insensibility paper had noted that "unlike the farce and trickery of mesmerism" the new discovery was in the hands of professional men Dana felt compelled to respond to the attack that had been made and his article was mainly a defense of this system. In the same issue Dr. W. Clay Wallace of New York published his objections to the inhalation of both ether and nitrous oxide because of the dangerous and disagreeable effects accompanying them." Then followed an anonymous discussion "Are Inventions in Surgery and in Chemistry Legitimate Subjects for Patents By a Correspondent Who Has No Property in Patent Rights" its author concluding that patents indeed can be granted for improvements in surgery and chemistry. However an editorial account following it on an "Apparatus for Inhaling the Gas"' criticized Morton satirically for selling his ether inhaler. It ended with the following paragraph: 'In todays journal will be found a communication from a legal gentleman drawn up at our request in which the validity of a patent is strenuously maintained. Since that article was in type we have been informed through a letter from Prof. C. A. Harris M.D. of the Baltimore College of Dental Surgeons that his colleague Dr. Bond had consulted one of the first lawyers there stating to him the whole case; and his opinion is that there is nothing patentable in the matter and that letters patent for it are worthless. We have similar information and assurance from Drs. Roper and Flagg of Philadelphia who have consulted competent legal judges in that city'." Richard J.

00530097NP 0000. Leather Binding. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" This unique hand-made book is composed of three Katherine Mansfield short stories with text hand-typed in a small sans serif face illustrated with seven original paintings and drawings. The short stories are 'The Doll's House' 'A Dill Pickle' and 'Psychology'. The typed text averages 36 lines per page. The work is bound in half brown morocco over matching cloth. It is near fine with only the faintest traces of wear. 6 blank 45 pages of text and plates 5 blank broken up into 3 sections each irregularly paginated as 9 pages. Includes 7 original drawings and paintings in watercolor gouache and ink. Though unsigned the art demonstrates considerable skill. Some are abstract some figurative. Two are on red paper one on gray.

There are no identifying marks in the work and in fact Mansfield's name itself does not appear. A delightful puzzle. We estimate the date to be ca. 1945 to 1955.7 Original Watercolors Etc. NP unknown
1917162549London: Harrison & Sons 1917. First edition presentation copy presumably prepared by the author's battalion commander Colonel Walter Gordon Wolrige-Gordon 1861-1938 to be given to close family and friends with an original photographic portrait of him mounted as a frontispiece. Posted to France in November 1915 the author served with the Royal Fusiliers at Festubert and Cambrin before gaining a commission in the Machine Gun Corps and returning home in February 1916. Educated at Radley and Christ Church Oxford Sturges 1893-1971 joined the 19th Public Schools Battalion Royal Fusiliers as a private. His is a no-nonsense but colourful first-hand account largely based on letters home. He was later Political Secretary at the British High Commission in Baghdad. Harrison & Son the printer-publisher generally worked for the War Office and were not known for general publishing so it is quite likely that this scarce work was printed for the author. Sturges's commanding officer W. G. Wolrige-Gordon 1861-1938 previously of the Black Watch had a distinguished military career. Wounded at El-Teb during the Sudan campaign 1884 he saw service on the Nile Expedition 1884-5 Matabeleland 1893-4 and the Boer War. During the First World War he was five times mentioned in despatches. The original photograph of him mounted as frontispiece is the same image that appears in The History of the Royal Fusiliers "U.P.S." 1917. This is affixed to card with a printed caption reading "Some Colonel" and a reference to page 112 where we read: "We staggered on at snail's pace along the Bethune road and I really believe I should never have been able to complete the journey and other men were worse than me. Then to our great relief the Colonel stopped two motor lorries into which we all climbed and they brought us all here. The Colonel himself stayed behind with those who couldn't find room - some Colonel!" Provenance: John Gordon Wolrige-Gordon 1856-1925 W. G.'s brother with his imposing armorial bookplate dated 1909 engraved by the bookplate specialist Charles W. Sherborn. J. G. served with the Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders and had a similarly illustrious career: he was on the Tochi and Tirah expeditions 1897 and saw extensive action during the Boer War notably at Modder River Magersfontein and Paaderberg. Octavo 179 x 115 mm. Tissue-guarded original sepia-toned gelatin silver portrait by Turner of St Albans mounted as frontispiece. Small diagram of opposing front lines at p. 102.

1877177021877. Mansfield Charles Blachford. Aerial Navigation 1877 a scientific treatise addressing the technical and theoretical challenges of controlled flight at a time when lighter than air ballooning dominated aerial experimentation. Written by chemist Charles Blachford Mansfield and issued posthumously the work advances early consideration of propulsion steering and mechanical control in the air moving beyond passive balloon drift toward the problem of directed navigation. Mansfield applies chemical and physical reasoning to questions of lift motive force and atmospheric resistance situating the text within mid nineteenth century efforts to transform aerial ascent into practical transportation.<br /> <br /> Mansfield Charles Blachford. Aerial Navigation. London: Macmillan & Co. 1877. First edition. The volume includes a second title leaf reading "Aerial Navigation The Problem with Hints for its Solution by Ithi Kefalende" reflecting the work's earlier conceptual framing. Comprising xxiii 1 513 pages the text presents extended analysis of balloon construction propulsion systems and theoretical models for powered flight drawing on Mansfield's background in chemistry including his work on coal tar derivatives and theoretical studies such as Theory of Salts. Though composed in the early 1850s the manuscript was not published until after Mansfield's death following a laboratory accident preserving a body of research that engaged directly with the limitations of contemporary aeronautical practice.<br /> <br /> Issued during a period when ballooning remained dependent on wind currents Mansfield's work contributes to the intellectual foundation that later supported the development of controllable aircraft. The text engages with the legacy of earlier balloon experiments while anticipating the transition toward powered aviation that would emerge at the end of the nineteenth century. By addressing propulsion and navigational control the work reflects broader scientific inquiry into engineering problems that would define modern aeronautics. Rebound in modern half calf with marbled boards and gilt spine label; text clean and stable with light handling wear. Overall very good condition. unknown
