1887179041887. Woman's Tribune Newspaper Beatrice Nebraska: October 1887. The Woman's Tribune with its motto in the masthead: "Equality Before The Law" was launched by Clara Bewick Colby from her home in Beatrice Nebraska in August 1883. For the next year it was the official publication of the Nebraska Woman Suffrage Association from 1883 to 1909 with many copies now at the library of congress. Articles include "A Centennial Protest" redressing the United States Government for its "unjust interpretation of hte constitution presented on behalf of the Women of the United States by officers of the national woman suffrage association." A poem titled "Need We Despair" inspires readers to take hope that the balance of power will be righted. One public opinion written by a reader begins "The idiots who are clamoring for prohibition and yet do not recognize woman's relation to the question are those who are the political hypocrites of the day." Colby believed that connecting suffrage to current events was an important way to unify women around the cause across the country and globe. The Tribune was probably the first woman's paper published by a woman and was beloved by Suffrage movement leaders. Folded measures 12" x 18" inches. The paper covers news of women's suffrage both local and national and includes article poetry and opinion pieces. One inch tear at bottom and very small tear at top. Overall very good condition. unknown

Some minor edge chipping and #49 with a couple of short tears to center fold. Overall in very nice condition.These were issued at the very peak of heyday of the Comstock Lode. The Big Bonanza of 1873 made it a very important place and added ffour more Robber Barons to the ranks. At the end of 1874 and the start of 1875 Virginia City Nevada was experiencing both the height of its mining boom and a growing realization that its golden days were starting to fade. At its height Virginia City was a thriving metropolis of 25000 residents. The Republican Daily Territorial Enterprise where Mark Twain started his career and the Democratic Virginia Evening Chronicle were integral to the city. In October of 1875 a serious fire burned most of the town to ashes and although residents rebuilt the really lucrative perios of mining there ended in about 1880. By 1890 there were only about 8500 people still living there and by 1900 that figure shrank to about 2500. The Chronicle Printing Company unknown
1851218121851. Science Medicine & TechnologyMilitary & WarLabor Environment & Welfare Manuscript industrial journal documenting the British lead shot industry patent culture and metallurgical manufacturing during the height of the Victorian industrial economy. Primarily England and Wales 1851-1853. Approximately 50 pages written in ink in a highly legible hand bound in an octavo-format notebook measuring 8 x 6.5 inches. Quarter red leather over marbled boards. Ownership inscription to front endpaper: "John R. Tracy / Nov 1852."<br /> <br /> An unusually detailed firsthand record of mid-19th-century industrial innovation centered on the manufacture of lead shot at a moment when Britain's expanding military infrastructure mining economy and heavy industry were increasingly dependent on large-scale metallurgical production. Compiled by John R. Tracy the manuscript documents the development and attempted commercialization of what he repeatedly identifies as a "Shot Patent" likely an improvement to the production or grading of lead shot associated with the traditional shot tower process. Rather than functioning merely as a technical notebook the volume captures the broader industrial system surrounding invention in Victorian Britain: factory inspections patent negotiations industrial espionage concerns business networking licensing discussions and the competitive culture of ironmasters and lead manufacturers operating across England and Wales.<br /> <br /> The manuscript opens in October 1852 and proceeds through a sequence of dated entries recording Tracy's travel and meetings with manufacturers engineers and industrial firms. These entries reveal the practical realities of introducing a new industrial process into Britain's established lead trade where manufacturers guarded technical methods closely and approached outside inventors with skepticism. On October 26 Tracy records receiving "letters of introduction to Messrs. A. B. Brown & Green" and to "Platt Bros." illustrating the importance of personal industrial networks and recommendation systems within Victorian manufacturing culture. Another entry dated November 5 describes a meeting arranged through "Mr. Maxwell of Messrs. Norton Theakers" followed by Tracy's note of "Much of 'shot etc.'-a rather funny conversation but on the whole. appointment for tomorrow @ 10 1/2" capturing the uncertain and often informal negotiations surrounding industrial patents.<br /> <br /> Particularly revealing is Tracy's November 6 account of visiting the Flintshire lead smelting firm Newton Keates & Co. where he describes the guarded and competitive atmosphere surrounding lead shot production. Tracy recounts that permission to inspect the works was "at-first-refused in rather a John Bullish manner" before eventually being granted under supervision. He writes perceptively about the mixture of suspicion and curiosity that surrounded industrial patents noting that the proprietor "wished to know the price upon the Patent" but that he deliberately withheld a valuation because "there was no use to let him have the bait to look at before he was hungry enough to bite." The language throughout reveals how industrial innovation in this period depended not simply on invention itself but on strategic secrecy negotiation and control over proprietary manufacturing knowledge.<br /> <br /> One of the manuscript's most important sections is a full-page listing titled "Lead Works in the United Kingdom in 1852" identifying more than two dozen lead works and manufacturers across Britain. Firms including Walker Parker & Co. Newton Keates & Co. and Richmond Anchor Co. are listed alongside annotations describing their production specialties including "sheet" "pipes" "shot" "white lead" and "pig." The page functions as a rare industrial survey of Britain's lead industry during a period of rapid military and industrial expansion documenting the interconnected infrastructure supporting ammunition production construction materials piping paint manufacture and metallurgical processing.<br /> <br /> Later entries contain detailed observations of shot-manufacturing equipment at a Chester lead works including descriptions of shot towers ranging from 76 to 96 feet in height and the use of perforated metal grading systems to regulate molten lead as it fell into spherical form. Tracy records the operation with notable technical specificity: "The shot are dropped through a perforated metal-the holes being smaller at the upper end and increasing in size as you get to the lower cylinder." Accompanying diagrams depict feed bins drop tubes sieves and sorting mechanisms apparently intended to improve efficiency or shot-size consistency beyond earlier tower methods. Tracy critically evaluates the machinery as well remarking that certain sieve boxes "seem inadequate for the work" and comparing the process economically to that employed by "D. De Roy & Co.'s works." The notebook therefore preserves not merely abstract invention but active industrial analysis and comparative manufacturing study.<br /> <br /> The manuscript is documenting metallurgy patent culture and military-industrial production in the decades preceding the major arms expansions of the later nineteenth century. Lead shot remained essential not only for hunting and civilian markets but for military supply systems deeply tied to imperial expansion and industrial warfare. Tracy's notebook reveals the increasingly professionalized yet still highly personal world through which industrial technologies circulated in Victorian Britain where factory visits guarded conversations handwritten technical sketches and negotiated introductions formed the practical infrastructure of innovation. Spine mostly perished with binding delicately held together; boards rubbed and worn. Interior exceptionally clean and highly legible throughout. A substantial and unusually revealing manuscript documenting Victorian industrial manufacturing patent strategy and the lead shot trade during a formative period in British industrial history. unknown

1879373732Kenealy London 1879. Newspaper. Good Condition. A rare and incendiary sequence of five consecutive issues of The Englishman published in November 1879 and edited by Edward V.H. Kenealy the disgraced barrister turned editorial crusader. These papers are not passive reportage; they are the printed artillery of a man who refused to let the Tichborne verdict stand. Kenealy having been ejected from the courtroom and Parliament alike took to the press with messianic fervour. The Englishman became his pulpit his battlefield and his confessional. Across these five issues he wages war on the establishment lionizes the Claimant and re-litigates the trial in serialized fury. The masthead may promise news but the content delivers obsession. Highlights Include: Current Notes that read like dispatches from a legal insurgency; Satirical columns Own Column Letter Bag Mirror dripping with coded allegiances; International affairs refracted through the lens of grievance and vindication; A tone that oscillates between prophetic indignation and theatrical absurdity. Why It Matters: These issues are scarce in institutional holdings and virtually unseen on the open market. They offer a vivid glimpse into the final phase of Kenealy's public life when the courtroom had closed its doors but the printing press remained his weapon. For collectors of radical Victorian print culture legal history or editorial eccentricity this is a crusade in five acts. Preserved in a modern card cover prepared for practicality - an unassuming but serviceable presentation that favours function over finery. Size: 22 x 35 cms.
