Later orange cloth gilt-stamped spine title; spine faded. Very good. TWO PAPERS FROM THE TWO GIANTS OF 20TH CENTURY PHYSICS AS THEY WERE ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN ONE COLLECTED VOLUME. Einstein's "Generalized Theory of Gravitation" is considered the last principal work issued by the 20th Century's premiere scientist. Schilpp-Shields. <br /><br /> Einstein: "A new presentation. . . which constitutes a certain progress in clarity as compared with previous presentations." from the Introduction. Feynman: "At first Feynman's fundamental article RMP 1948 did not arouse much interest among theoretical physicists who were not familiar with Feynman's new approach to doing quantum mechanics. As Feynman recalled: 'At the Shelter Island Conference. . . they asked me if I would explain my path-integral method for doing quantum mechanics so I did. I must have been preparing the manuscript for my paper RMP 1948 so that everything was organized and I explained it. It's hard to pay attention to some new idea and they didn't pay much attention to it.' However nowadays Feynman's RMP 1948 paper is one of the most well-known and widely cited papers; it is one of the cornerstones of modern theoretical physics." Mehra. <br /><br /> "It is a curious historical fact that modern quantum mechanics began with two quite different mathematical formulations: the differential equation of Schroedinger and the matrix algebra of Heisenberg. . . This paper will describe what is essentially a third formulation of non-relativistic quantum theory. This formulation was suggested by some of Paul Dirac's remarks concerning the relation of classical action to quantum mechanics. A probability amplitude is associated with an entire motion of a particle as a function of time rather than simply with a position of the particle at a particular time." from the Introduction.

195725261Boulder Colorado 1957. Small folio 236 x 332 mm. One leaf. Notated in pencil on both sides of a leaf of pre-printed 12-stave "Facsimile score paper" issued by Music Print Corporation Denver. <br/><br/>Most probably associated with p. 76 of the printed piano-vocal score of the work. Three staves per system Wesley's vocal part notated in G clef with text underlay; piano accompaniment. Cue in blue pencil "Wesley: O that in me the sacred fire" and reference "P. 76" to head of recto. Music ends after 25 measures on lower half of verso followed by "etc." and reference "p. 76." Date to foot of recto. <br/><br/>With:<br/>Fragment of libretto of The Invisible Fire. Three typed leaves stapled with text to rectos only. Fragment beginning with Part II of the oratorio and ending in the middle of Part V; text of Part I and from the middle of Part V lacking. Autograph note in red pencil to upper left corner of first page: "Send to Cassilly." With numerous autograph annotations in blue pencil indicating division in parts performing forces tempi etc.; the section rendered in the present musical sketch is marked as "enclosed" indicating that the musical sketch and the libretto fragment have been together from the beginning. A piano-vocal score of The Invisible Fire was published by H.W. Gray in New York in 1957. In 1960 the Methodist Publishing House issued a volume containing the libretto texts about the work and numerous related color photographs. The text of the oratorio is by Tom F. Driver born 1925 with parts adapted from Charles Wesley John Wesley and William Cowper. <br/><br/>"The oratorio was commissioned by the National Methodist Student Movement and the Department of Worship and the Arts of the National Council of Churches. It was first performed at the National Methodist Student Conference on December 31 1957 with the Kansas City Philharmonic and 200 voice conference choir Thor Johnson conducting." From the program of a performance of The Invisible Fire in Bethlehem Pennsylvania on April 9 2011.<br/><br/>"Born in Colorado Springs Effinger studied mathematics at Colorado College BA 1935 harmony and counterpoint with Frederick Boothroyd Colorado Springs 1934-6 and composition with Boulanger in Paris 1939. He played first oboe in the Colorado Springs SO 1934-41 and Denver SO 1937-41. He taught at the Colorado College 1936-41 1946-8 served as conductor of the 506th US Army Band 1941-5 and taught at the University of Colorado in Boulder 1948-81 composer-in-residence 1981-4 where he became the head of the composition department. He formed a lifelong friendship with Roy Harris beginning in 1941. In 1954 Effinger patented the 'Musicwriter' typewriter which he manufactured and sold worldwide for 35 years. He also invented the 'Tempowatch' the only device that can accurately determine the tempo of music as it is being performed.<br/><br/>"As a composer he was prolific;. among his most popular compositions are his choral works several of which are large scale and based on sacred subjects including. The Invisible Fire 1957. Although he used dissonance he never abandoned consonant harmonies referring to his idiom as 'atonal tonality'. His instrumental works contain lyrical string melodies lilting woodwind figurations and traditional developmental forms. Many of his works reflect his native Rocky Mountain region in their choice of text programmatic titles and pastoral style that he associated with western themes." Lawrence Worster in Grove Music Online.<br/><br/>"Cassilly" may well refer to American tenor Richard Cassilly 1927-1998 whose career had taken off in the mid-1950s. In that case the present sketch might be a replacement requested by the singer of the original version as notated on page 76 of the piano-vocal score to which it refers. unknown books
40617The eighth wealthiest American of all time was a German-born lumber magnate who began his empire in Rock Island Illinois in 1856 starting as a night fireman at a sawmill and working his way up until he owned this sawmill then began adding more until the "Weyerhauser Syndicate" was enormous; he moved to the Pacific Northwest in 1900 where the firm still operates and is the world's largest timber seller. Partly-Printed Document Signed 1p 8 3/4" X 3 3/4" Rock Island IL 1881 November 15. Very good. Ornate check drawn on the Peoples National Bank printed in black on blue stock and featuring decorative border a variety of ornate typefaces and a steel-engraved vignette at left showing a puffing locomotive at a train station. The check has been made out to Weyerhaeuser in the amount of $25000 and is signed by the bank president Bailey Davenport. Davenport 1823-90 was the son of Davenport Iowa's murdered founding father fur trader/Indian agent/frontiersman Colonel George Davenport 1783-1845 and was himself a wealthy banker real estate entrepreneur and mayor of Davenport during the Civil War. On the check's verso Weyerhaeuser signs boldly adding "pat to the Order / of H C Putnam" above. Below this Putnam then signs. Henry Cleveland Putnam 1832-1912 was a Wisconsin lumber baron and philanthropist one of the founders of Eau Claire. Three more unidentified persons also sign below Putnam. Twenty-five thousand dollars was a huge sum of money in 1881. Real estate developer Davenport and Weyerhaeuser who also served on the board of directors of this bank surely had many and complex business dealings -- as Weyerhaeuser likewise also had with fellow lumber baron Putnam. Weyerhaeuser's syndicate was vast and he had arrangements with a large number of other lumber businesses. It's possible the transaction had to do with the purchase of timber lands but this warrants further research. In any case a unique and intriguing document. unknown books

8674Manuscrit autographe signé de 6pp. grand in-4, ( rédigé au verso de 5 feuillets à l'en-tête du Ministre de l'Instruction Publique, sous-secrétariat d'Etat aux Beaux-arts ). Compte-rendu d'une visite sur le front., titré par l'auteur " Des cinémas pour les Poilus". Manuscrit à l'encre d'une plume large, plusieurs ratures, surcharges et ajouts . Armand Dayot, alors Inspecteur général des Beaux-arts, rend compte d'une visite dans les tranchées " Je reviens aussi de l'enfer, mais je n'y ai rencontré que des héros... J'allais dire des Dieux. Ici ni gémissements plaintifs, ni larmes de désespoir " coulant intarissables du creux des orbites"... Partout autour de moi.... dans tous les coins et recoins de cet inextricable labyrinthe... soldats presqu'improvisés, parfois sordidement vêtus de glorieux haillons, après tant de longs mois de souffrance et de combats , la barbe rude, le teint brulé mais les yeux pleins de flammes et le sourire aux lèvres, ce bon sourire français si près de la blague et de la chanson...". Il fait part de son émotion, voire " d'une vive commotion lorsque le premier obus de 150 éclata à une cinquantaine de mètres " ... Puis Dayot s'entretient avec l'officier " sous un abri casematé et blindé, que le bruit de la canonnade faisait trembler " qui l' interrroge sur les soldats : " ...que pensez-vous de nos poilus ?... Je pense que chacun d'entre eux mérite une statue ". L'interlocuteur de Dayot reconnait que ce serait " une excellente aubaine pour les sculpteurs ... mais ... assure... nos Poilus n'en demandent pas tant; Tachez seulement d'obtenir pour eux quelques ( rayé), un appareil cinématographique...". L' officier poursuit " tant que nos Poilus sont en première ligne, tout va bien. Devant la mort le moral est excellent... (le soldat) est immobile , comme un bronze....un braconnier à l'affut....Puis vient l'heure du repos, l'heure où tout danger disparait.. Alors les nerfs se détendent, les songes nostalgiques montent du fond de l'âme, et le Poilu loin de toute distraction , s'ennuie. C'est l'heure du cafard..." . Devant ce plaidoyer pour le cinéma , Dayot note de demander au Journal Le Matin de faire connaitre ce souhait " et je serai bien surpris que cette mesure salutaire ne se généralise pas bientot sur tous les fronts de bataille"... L' officier précise encore " Mais surtout pas de films tristes, pas de drames larmoyants, mais des histoires "bien rigolotes" avec de jolies petites femmes... Tuons le cafard pour mieux tuer le Boche...". Dayot revenu à l'arrière, prend des notes sur sa visite, il écrit son compte-rendu dans une chambre de la sous -préfecture (?) à tous vents, dans une ville où "le jardin est bouleversé par les obus", où les maisons s'écroulent. Il pourrait s'agir de Baccarat ( nom figurant à la fin de ses notes).
