1809ABC_45177Vienna 1809. Folio. Antoine Schmid Folded strengthened with a decorated paper strip. 10 pp. Rare prospectus for a series of volumes to be issued periodically with contributions on a variety of subjects concerning Islamic studies and the Middle East in the broadest sense under the title Mines dOrient Fundgruben des Orients; Fontes rerum Orientalium; Sources for Oriental studies. The founders of this first professional journal were Count Wenceslaus Rzewuski and Baron Joseph Freiherr von Hammer-Purgstall who would also act as editor. Count Wenceslaus Waclaw Seweryn Rzewuski 1784-1831 was a Polish explorer poet orientalist and horse expert. Baron Joseph Freiherr von Hammer-Purgstall 1774-1856 was an Austrian orientalist and historian. Hammer-Purgstall published numerous texts and translations of Arabic Persian and Turkish authors.Both considered Vienna the ideal transfer point between West and East and invited all orientalists of Europe to contribute in French German English Italian Spanish or Latin. Six volumes of the journal were published between 1809 and 1818 by Antoine Schmid in Vienna.Corners a little frayed otherwise in good condition.l WorldCat 2 copies. unknown

186241733Turnwold Putnam County Ga. 1862. Each issue a folio sheet folded to 8 pp. Each page 9-1/4" x12." Each number printed in three columns per page. No. 1 is browned. Very Good.<br /> <br /> Crandall does not record Numbers 4 and 5; but AAS which says The Countryman was "suspended intermittently" evidently owns them. Its first printing was March 18 1862. With the opening issue of this volume III Turner trumpets the "remarkable" success of The Countryman which has received a "universal acclaim of approbation" and has been financially successful. The articles cover an array of subjects including of course much on the War: Why the Hessians Enlist; the "worst provincialisms of the Yankees;" John Adams; observations on the War; the printing of The Countryman; poetry "The Old Plantation"; advertisements; President and leaders of the Confederate States; Iron; "Teaching Negroes to Read." <br /> This interesting Confederate weekly was printed at Turnwold Turner's Putnam County plantation probably the only wartime newspaper so printed. "Joel Chandler Harris was an apprentice for Joseph Addison Turner. In 1862 Turner decided to produce a newspaper from his home at Turnwold Plantation. In fact in a more-than-semi-autobiographical book Harris wrote called On the Plantation he explains that the printing office for The Countryman was established 'in an outhouse.'. . . As was the typical arrangement for the time Harris worked for Turner in exchange for clothing and boarding at the Turnwold Plantation for the four plus years he apprenticed there. As a printer's devil Harris was responsible for setting and inking the type for the paper on the hand-press individually placing the letters so they were spaced appropriately for printing" "Joel Chandler Harris and The Wren's Nest" December 3 2020 Blog site of American Writers Museum accessed May 01 2026. <br /> Crandall 5152.

1895D6188United States 1895-1897. Green cloth over flexible boards "Photographs" stamped in gilt on upper board; 4to; approx. pp. 50 with over 100 mounted postcard-format entries usually two per page on both the recto and the verso. Wonderful! Easily one of the nicest albums of this kind that we have had the pleasure of cataloguing. This unique album contains more than 100 dated "diary entries" out of chronological sequence each one a hand-made postcard featuring original artwork including watercolors pencil sketches ink drawings both naive and accomplished a photograph a cyanotype or an image cut from an unknown source such as a newspaper or magazine. The postcards are created by numerous contributors and their rich variety is difficult to capture except to say that they run the gamut of human capability the sketch artist offers an anthropomorphic chicken the watercolor painter a peaceful landscape and personality sentimental humorous sweet thoughtful. A short list gives you an idea: happy puppies photograph ladies in big dresses wading in the surf photograph a Rorsarch test ink of course kite ink drawing plant specimen baseball joke pencil cartoon a little bird feather collage 8 bars of music ink Jamaica Plain cyanotype bull fight photograph boats photograph a family portrait in the Adirondacks photograph. Our compiler must have enlisted far-flung friends for contributions as images and references hail from Perugia Brooklyn Boston Zermatt Valley Philadelphia Avignon and Arizona. <br/><br/> hardcover

M. POR LOS GEFES MILITARES DE LOS CUERPOS QUE EXISTEN EN MADRID à NOMBRE DE TODOS SUS INDIVIDUOS"; en este aviso los Gefes polÃtico-militares constitucionalistas se reafirman en su defensa de la Constitución nuevamente jurada por el rey Fernando VII el dÃa 7 de Marzo de 1820 pues parece ser que hubo nuevas vacilaciones y revueltas cuando comenzaba lo que se dará a conocer como el Trienio Liberal 1820-1823 firmando el manifiesto un buen grupo de liberales que vienen expresados en este suplemento que referimos. Importante resaltar que aunque los números van correlativos y el nombre del diario es el mismo parece ser que las fechas no siguen un orden cronológico con la numeración que llevan los fascÃculos por lo que pensamos que son tiradas diferentes.

19116011US Germany 1911. Red cloth over card with gilt to front board. All edges stained read. Measuring 200 x 170mm and containing 186 handwritten pages across five years. Dried flowers and theatre program loosely inserted at front. Ownership signature and bookplate of Catherine Harrison Squibb to front pastedown and endpaper with signature of the same to rear endpaper. A research rich and densely written diary the present would be useful in fields including but not limited to intergenerational wealth and its relationship to emotional abuse women's education and educational travel early 20th century reading habits modern friendship courtship and romance and women's increased mobility and travel.<br /> <br /> The second daughter of Charles Fellow Squibb himself the second son of pharmaceutical boss Dr. E. R. Squibb Catherine Harrison Squibb was raised in economic privilege. Her earliest years were spent in the Brooklyn townhouse built for her parents by her grandfather while her teen years were split between her father's historic estate of Welwood and her boarding school in Dresden. At Welwood Charles always considered as "the lesser son" according to his E.R.'s journals followed in his father's controlling footsteps by "purchasing polo ponies setting about learning to jump" and "insisting his children do the same.to maintain the lifestyle of the landed gentry" Belcher. This is confirmed in the opening entry of the diary October 25 1906 near Catherine's 16th birthday where she reports "I rode side-saddle with Rosalie in the morning.rode again in the afternoon ist richerverlobt! er est 62 --- alt!!" The numerous rides do not seem to entirely please Catherine as she hides her frustration in the German parenthetical roughly "he is engaged to be a judge! he is 62 years old!!". Three days later on her birthday she spends her time significantly differently clowning with her brother and aunt and "playing tennis in the afternoon." This becomes something of a tradition as her birthday entries report several times "played tennis all afternoon" She also notes her time in French and German lessons -- with German becoming more frequent during and after her time at school in Dresden especially when she wants to obfuscate her thoughts from unwanted readers. <br /> <br /> If this diary is any indication music and reading travel and school became refuges for Catherine. And she claimed as much time as she could to find independence and develop herself outside of Charles' strict rules. Her reading preferences reflect this desire to immerse herself in Jane Austen's world of social visits and balls where family conflict is eventually smoothed by a woman's exit to a loving partner and home of her own. "Good day!" she writes on April 29 1908 "Stayed in bed all day. I finished Pride & Prejudice and began Emma." This is contrast against her reaction to Charlotte Bronte's work on May 1 of the same year: "Cold & windy. We came in on the 9.30. Aunts at Welwood.had music lesson.I began Jane Eyre. Dismal book!" Her tone and word choice reflect the most happiness in these circumstances whereas riding is reported like a duty -- she may report what time of day and what horse but no expressions of joy accompany them. <br /> <br /> While the diary concludes in 1911 when Catherine is 21 we know that she would return to Europe from 1917-1919 as a nurse in WWI watching her own country battle her beloved Germany. Within the time her father had sold his birthright in Squibb and with "his extravagant lifestyle eating through his money quickly.he was forced to sell Welwood.not long thereafter he went to France" and never returned to the US Belcher. In 1920 she would marry veteran and shoe manufacturing foreman Raymond Pratt moving with him to Pasadena California and becoming a civic leader.<br /> <br /> Much deeper work can be done on Catherine's lives and relationships especially considering the current cultural trends of novels films and series depicting both the glamour and the emotional squalor of the 1%. unknown
1959223131959. Journal of the Aerospace Sciences 1959 documents foundational research in American aerospace engineering during the early Cold War space race. Published the year after the establishment of NASA and amid intensified U.S. efforts to match Soviet rocket achievements following the 1957 launch of Sputnik these issues contain contemporary technical studies on hypersonic aerodynamics missile stability spacecraft propulsion and planetary trajectory design. Articles by scientists and engineers working at leading research institutions and government laboratories record the theoretical groundwork that would shape the next decade of American spaceflight including early analytical work on Mars trajectories reentry materials and competing propulsion systems for interplanetary travel.<br /> <br /> Journal of the Aerospace Sciences. Volume 26 numbers 1 2 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 and 12. New York: Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences 1959. Eleven issues from the journal's 1959 volume lacking only the March issue. The periodical served as the principal research forum of the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences the professional organization that later became the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Together these figures represent a cohort of scientists who would define American spaceflight theory and practice in the decade to come.Archive consists of 11 printed volumes in original wrappers approx. 50-80 pages per issue totaling over 800 pages.<br /> <br /> This archive includes:<br /> <br /> Volume 26 No. 1 January 1959: Features research on turbulent skin-friction drag at supersonic speeds jet nozzle structures nonlinear flutter problems and B-47 gust response.

Contributors include Carl Gazley Jr. Wallace D. Hayes and George Gerard.<br /> <br /> In 1959 the Journal of the Aerospace Sciences served as the official scientific platform for cutting-edge American aerospace research marking the transition from aeronautical to astronautical engineering. That year saw sustained focus on hypersonics ballistic missile trajectories spacecraft propulsion and heat transfer under extreme atmospheric conditions as the U.S. sought to stabilize its strategic position after the 1957 Sputnik crisis and ahead of the 1960 Mercury program. Research in these volumes was underwritten by military contracts NASA collaboration established in 1958 and Cold War exigencies. Light foxing to several wrappers particularly July issue; some edge wear and surface abrasions. Two issues show sticker residue at spine or lower edge. Interiors uniformly clean bindings firm and covers largely bright and intact. Overall very good condition. The studies record the technical environment that produced early American satellite programs and later lunar navigation systems linking university laboratories defense contractors and federal research agencies. unknown
