1955441j1375London: Victor Gollancz Ltd. 1955. First British Edition. Hardcover. "The authors were convinced that the decision to withhold from Dr. Oppenheimer one of America's most distinguished scientists the security clearance which would enable him to continue as chief adviser to the Government on scientific matters was a miscarriage of justice as unworthy of the fine traditions of the American past as the trial of Captain Dreyfus was unworthy of France. They contend that the parties to certain high-level disputes wanted Oppenheimer removed from his position of influence in these disputes. Includes a scrupulous analysis of the proceedings." - dust jacket. "J. Robert Oppenheimer 1904-1967 was an American theoretical physicist.

The author of the diary is Alton Ross Hodgkins 1890-1952 a 14-year-old boy who would go on to become Dr. Hodgkins a foreign relations correspondent for the US State Department and an Economics professor at many renowned academic institutions SEE FULL BIO NOTES AT END OF LISTING. Hodgkins diary is full of the details of a young teenager who is intent on keeping a detailed record of his daily life. At the time he kept this diary Alton was living in Damariscotta Mills Maine. His father was a farmer. It is clear from Altons diary that he equally valued contributing to the family farming work and his academics. Some excerpts give the flavour of the diary: It has snowed all day. It was tough coming home from school tonight. We had to take some exams today. Got A in Latin and B in Algebra. We had Uncle Charlies team today Jan 22. My Birthday. Got up a little after seven. Pa carried uncle John to the train this morning. I went down to Ermalines after milk this forenoon.

For a social historian this diary paints a very clear picture of day-to-day life in rural New England at the turn of the 20th century as seen through the eyes of a young teenager. It is fascinating to find clues as to this boys future success. His surprisingly tidy handwriting dedication to recording details and ongoing comments about his academics make up some of the pieces of the puzzle.

19280001129BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS MASS MA. Very Good. 1928. On offer is an absolutely super original 1928 diary handwritten by Amelia Maria Ely Howe who was the wife of noted Boston surgeon Dr. Walter C. Howe who would die in 1931. The diary offers up an amazing intimate look into the life of a prominent and wealthy family during the 1920s. This diary offers up some amazing historical reading including many high society events such as the theatre fancy dinners traveling and several social functions around Boston; most taking place at some of the prominent "hot spots" during the 1920s. She also talks about their annual trip to their summer cabin in Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia. Right before they leave for Canada their daughter Emily leaves on an ocean voyage to Europe before returning home for her "Debutante coming out party" which took place on November 16 1928. Emily eventually marries a surgeon by the name of George Aaron Marks. Frederick their son had Epilepsy because on several occasions Amelia mentions his "Attacks" or "Sickness" which sometimes last for an hour. There are also several newspaper clippings pasted inside an one photo of a man standing by a car with a long fur coat on. She also mentions on different occasions that her husband is working on writing a prescription book. Here are snippets: 1928 "January 13th To Ritz Carlton with Mary Guild and Mrs. Humphries to hear Louis Brownfield talk on "How Characters in Fiction are Born." Then to tea at Brittany Coffee Shop.
