177956131Providence: Southwick and Wheeler 1779. Folio broadsheet approx. 16" x 10" text in triple column beneath the running head; lower outside corners eroded with loss to the beginnings and/or ends of about ten lines about 20-25 words mostly on the recto; all else very good. With the ink signature of Theodore Foster 1752-1828 U.S. Senator from Rhode Island 1790-1803. Solomon Southwick had published the Mercury a newspaper in Newport until that town was occupied by the British in 1778. Southwick then buried his printing press and types and eventually sought safety in Providence. Once in Providence Southwick decided to continue to print however the only way he could supply himself with materials was through John Carter the owner of the Providence Gazette. Apparently there was a dispute between Carter and Southwick as to who would get to purchase the printing press and types left by the recently deceased John Waterman. This was the only printing press and type available because the British had seized all the printing materials that had been previously ordered. Apparently Carter purchased the press and sold it to Southwick on the condition that the press "should not be set up in town or used to oppose a friend in business who had served him in distress." At first Southwick started his business in Rehoboth Massachusetts but secured a one-half interest in printing for the state of Rhode Island. In March of 1779 in company with Bennett Wheeler he began to publish in Providence The American Journal and General Advertiser using the Updike house next to John Carter for their office. There was much bad feeling displayed by Carter at Southwick's alleged treachery and Carter printed a story in the Providence Gazette about the incident and Southwick printed a response to Carter. Carter soon printed his rebuttal to the charges that Southwick made and once again Southwick printed his answer. This rare printing was Southwick's answer to Carter's rebuttal. It takes up the entire front side of this broadsheet and one-and-one-half columns on the back. Also included on this rare broadsheet is a Full Pardon offered by General George Washington to all the deserters in the Army that wanted to come back but feared to do so because they thought that they would be severely punished. There is also news from Charleston about Colonel Campbell's expedition from Savannah to Augusta Georgia. Not found in OCLC; but apparently there are copies at Brown University and the R.I. Historical Society. <br/><br/> Southwick and Wheeler unknown books

Stockholm October 6 1895. To <b>ROBERT UNDERWOOD JOHNSON</b>1853-1937 influential editor of <i>The Century</i> magazine. </p><p>"Your letter of the 10 Sept. is received. I would certainly have estimated it agreeable to do with you as the proposed price is acceptable etc. But I am sorry to say that under the present circumstances I have no time at all for anything but necessary work. Besides I may say that I have so many years experience as a scientific man and as a journalist that I can under no circumstances agree to have the payement sic for my articles depending of discretion. I know how to write such matters and in fact I permit no essential alterations in articles signed by me. The letter sent to the American minister at Stockholm has not been forwarded to me. But I think that a letter addressed to my friend Mr. Ekholm has some days ago been forwarded to him by the minister."</p><p>Trained as a mechanical engineer Andrée first became fascinated by ballooning at the 1876 Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia. After participating in the Spitsbergen scientific expedition of 1882-1883 led by Swedish meteorologist <b>Nils Ekholm</b>1949-1923 he published numerous articles in scientific journals on such subjects as electricity and heat while working at the Swedish patent office. </p><p>In 1897 funded by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences King Oscar II and Alfred Nobel Andrée attempted to pass over the North Pole in a hydrogen balloon with two other Swedish adventurers. Swept up by the nationalist fervor while planning his attempt to fly over the pole Andrée overlooked several key technical points including the warnings of Ekholm who was initially charged with the expedition's meteorological research. Most damaging as Ekholm predicted was the fact that the balloon leaked hydrogen faster than expected precipitating its crash after only two days aloft and leaving the party to escape the Arctic winter on foot. The fate of Andrée's expedition remained a mystery until the 1930 discovery of their camp on the Norwegian Arctic island of Kvitøya.</p><p>Johnson joined <i>The Century</i>magazine one of the most prominent journals of its day in 1873 serving as associate editor from 1881-1909 and heading the magazine from 1909 to 1913. He was also instrumental in the establishment of international copyright protections for which he was awarded the French Legion of Honor in 1891 and the cavaliers of the Crown of Italy in 1895. Among his many prominent friends were the eccentric inventor and electricity pioneer Nikola Tesla and naturalist John Muir with whom he helped establish Yosemite National Park in California. </p><p>Written two years before his own doomed balloon ascension.

P5279Moscow: IZOGIZ Agit-massovyi sektor 1932. Octavo 26 Ã 17.5 cm. Original decorative wrappers; 16 pp. of these eight pages are divided horizontally and freely moveable. Light wear to wrappers; lower right corner creased; still about very good. Catalog issued on the occasion of the first exhibition of work by the Kukryniksy art collective an acronym drawing on the names of its three members: Kupriianov Krylov and Nik. Sokolov. The exhibition was initiated by Maxim Gorky who wrote the introductory essay and held at Klub Federatsii Sovetskikh Pisatelei im. Maksima Gor'kogo. The exhibition showcased original drawings sketches and illustrations from journals and papers books political posters and 'lubki' as well as other unique works and illustrations by individual artists. With a caricature of the artists by Aminadav Kanevskii and a brief preface by B. Malkin. Also included is a strikingly designed layout of the exhibition and a brief biography of the artists. Book designer Solomon Telingater 1903-1969 created an innovative structure: the red stripe on the front and rear wrapper is incorporated into the mid-section of the book with eight illustrated leaves horizontally divided with a gap and a propagandistic quote by Mayakovsky visible beneath on the red "banner". Telingater also designed a striking exhibition poster in the form of a triangle. His goal was to transform the book into a maximally functional but also playful medium making use of innovative typography montage as well as other design elements in the constructivist manner. A close friend of El Lissitsky Telingater further developed his colleague's forays into avant-garde book design both in theory and practice. The Kukryniksy were an infamous trio of Soviet caricaturists and artists perhaps best known for their bitingly satirical illustrations of German and other Fascist politicians during WWII. After meeting at VKhUTEMAS in the 1920s the three would work in their customary manner throughout their career producing countless caricatures posters and book illustrations: each member of the group would propose a sketch then all three would elaborate the best one.

1995705891995. Accompanied by a typed statement which is affixed to the bottom of the removable ceiling cutout: "This model is a replica of the actual cell here at San Quentin. The dimension of the cells are four feet one half inch wide eleven feet long and eight feet high. This model is built to scale of one inch per foot there sic approx fifty five square feet of living space in a cell. On death row only one inmate per cell but on the mainline there are two inmates per cell." Hand-painted and highly detailed the model measures 13 1/8" x 8" 4 3 / 4" and is composed of board tape and cellophane. The prisoner's bunk complete with blanket and pillow is situated below ventilation ducts and near a toilet sink and storage unit. A winter landscape photograph appears on one sidewall which can be viewed through a cellophane-covered window in the other. Opposite the back of the model are the prison bars including a swiveling cell door. Beneath the model is a label bearing Solomon's name his identification and cell number and the address for San Quentin. Undated it appears to have been created around 1995. An African American Vietnam veteran who worked as a handyman in the Oak Park neighborhood of Sacramento California Morris Solomon Jr. was convicted of four counts of first-degree murder two counts of second-degree murder and five sexual assaults over the course of a year starting in 1986. Five of the victims were found buried outside the homes where Solomon lived or worked while the sixth was "discovered" by Solomon in a closet at a house where he had been working. At Solomon's sentencing Sacramento Superior Court Judge Peter Mering added on a sentence of 95 years to life to make certain Solomon could never win release if his death sentence was overturned. "I can imagine no one whose release would be more terrifying to the community of Sacramento than Mr. Solomon" the judge said. Solomon's conviction was affirmed by the California Supreme Court on July 15 2010. He remains on death row at San Quentin. unknown books

All other copies I have handled over the years have been in blue cloth titled in gilt issued with a separate dust jacket. I have consulted with both Martin Parr the noted photographer author and collector and Manfred Heiting noted author and collector who concur; neither have seen such a copy. Salomon from a German-Jewish banking family studied mechanical engineering and the law. In 1927 he took up the miniature camera and recorded the ruling class from his privileged seat among them.

VERY RARE & EARLY ACCOUNT ON PERSPIRATION CRYING & BLOOD. A classical account on perspiration crying and blood all fluids. O'Malley writes for the DSB "such then curious but rational problems as why boys ought not to be forbidden to cry why sobbing usually accompanies weeping" -- apparently referring to this work. Thorndike who notes the author's work on the classical writers Galen and Rasis notes further that he was not a physician who ascribed to the occult sciences: "he also discussed such questions as why boys should not be forbidden to cry why sobbing generally goes with tears. . ." p. 230. The Bayerische Staatsbibliothek copy has an added 2 leaves marked as signature "-2" which is a preface by Paulo Alberto Paulus Albertus not available in this copy but supplied in facs. The text refers to bloody sweat noted by Stolberg "Modern medicine acknowledges such phenomenona as 'hematidrosis' but premodern accounts of bloody sweating may well have to be taken in a much wider sense including what physicians today would consider as bleeding disorders." -- Michael Stolberg "Sweat.

Alberti born in 1540 Naumburg Germany a year later his father died. He and his mother relocated to Nuremberg 1541. Remarkably the city paid for Alberti's education including his doctoral studies at the University of Wittenberg 1574 rising to become Professor of Philosophy and Physics in Wittenberg then Professor of Medicine and in 1582 becoming physician to Duke Friedrich Wilhelm of Saxony. He last residence was in Dresden where he passed away. He wrote tracts on the pancreas 1578 on the lacrimal apparatus De Lacrimis 1581. In 1585 he published Historia plerarunque partium humani corporis membratim scripta et in usum tyronum retractatius edita Vitaebergae excudebant Haeredes Iohannis Cratonis. ". . . some years later the German anatomist Salomon Alberti 1540–1600 published his studies of the lacrimal apparatus in a volume entitled De Lacrimis." "Initially tears were considered to be more or less similar in composition to other body fluids in particular sweat and urine." -- Ad Vingerhoets Why Only Humans Weep: Unravelling the Mysteries of Tears 2013 pp. 51 but does not mention this text. -- DSB.

15943076<p>Wittenberg: Georg Muller 1594. Rare first edition of one of the earliest works on the subject of scurvy by the well-known anatomist undertaken to survey the incidence of the disease in the ducal territories around Wittenberg and consequently qualifying as an example of public health medicine. According to O’Malley Alberti was able to positively demonstrate the disease’s prevalence in the territory surveyed and astutely recommend citrus fruit as part of a preventative diet a benevolent property later recognized by James Lind in his Treatise on the Scurvy Edinburg 1753. “The book was known by James Lind and referred to by him in his celebrated treatise” O’Malley p. 98. Salomon Alberti 1540-1600 is best known for producing the first illustrations of the venous valves and for producing the first extensive printed account devoted solely to their function in his Tres Orationes Nuremberg 1585. The correct understanding of the venous valves was essential to Harvey’s concept of a systemic circulation of the blood. The work went through at least two 17th-century editions 1624; 1674 though the editio princeps appears to be the only one containing Alberti’s public disputation of 1591 with Ernestus Hettenbach which constitutes the first public announcement of his results.

332115 p.l. 984 pp. 30 leaves of index. Thick 8vo cont. half-sheep & paste-paper boards. Leipzig: G.M. Knoch 1733. The catalogue of the vast library of Cyprian 1673-1745 "one of the last important and influential representatives of the Lutheran orthodoxy."-N.D.B. He was librarian of the Ducal Library at Gotha did much to improve it and published a catalogue of its MSS. His library was certainly one of the most important "Gelehrtenbibliotheken" of his time; a considerable portion of it was of course devoted to theology - the title-page especially recommends it to the student of theology and ecclesiastical history - and the subject index of theological works alone occupies 29 pp. as opposed to that of all other subjects which only takes up 20 pp. This is the second edition of the catalogue much enlarged with items acquired since the publication of the first edition Gotha: 1726. The 1747 Gotha edition is no doubt the sale catalogue published after Cyprian's death. At the end on nine pages we find the bibliography of Cyprian's forty-nine publications. Nice copy. ❧ A.D.B.

On June 10 1777 Congress passed a bill outlining how the army of the United States was to be supplied with provisions. One Commissary General and three Deputy Commissaries General of Issues were appointed by Congress and the Deputy Commissaries General had the authority to appoint as many assistant Commissaries to act under them as necessary. Solomon Southwick the Rhode Island printer was acting here as a one of Deputy Commissaries General. The Journals of Congress June 10 1777 article XXXII note: "That each deputy Commissary general of issues shall from the monthly returns of the assistant commissaries make out a general return for the district specifying what remained in the magazines or stores at the last return; what has been received since; the number of rations and quantity of provisions issued and what remains in store distinguishing the several posts places magazines and regiments of corps as aforesaid; one to be sent to the Board of War one to the commander in chief one to the commander of the department one to the commissary general of purchases and one to the commissary general of issues." Solomon Southwick II 1731-1797 was the father of the erstwhile Newport and later Providence printer and newspaper editor Solomon III. He also was a printer and the publisher of the Newport Mercury which he had purchased from the heirs of James Franklin. He was a member of the first graduating class of the College of Philadelphia now the University of Pennsylvania. In 1778 he was appointed Deputy Commissary General responsible for obtaining and distributing food clothing and other supplies to Continental Army soldiers in Rhode Island. <br/><br/> March 31 hardcover books

Occasional minor soiling. From the library of Frank M. Verzuh with his name on some covers. Wraps. MTAC is the first period journal devoted entirely to the literature of computation. The journal had a very small subscription base in the early years. Through 1946 it's subscription list was less than 350 readers. Many were discarded as computing advanced at a rapid pace. As of this writing Worldcat shows less than 80 institutions with even partial runs. The first volume contains lists and descriptions of printed tables where they were published as well as new errors discovered in the published sources. These errors introduced by humans whose job description were "computers" continued to appear until mechanical computers significantly reduced and eventually eliminated them. Large businesses military and financial operations used these tables to save time - so error notices were important. Later issues particularly in Volume 2 of this serial contained interesting and groundbreaking material related to the development of computers as we know them today. <br/><br/>Professor FM Verzuh attended the Moore School lectures and was a participant in early computering at MIT. The fact that this serial was still present on his shelf at his retirement is an indication of it's importance. Scarce in the marketplace. See Origins of Cyberspace 777 for a detailed description and history of the serial which was published in a total of 14 volumes until a title change in 1960. Important articles included in this run include Origins of Cyberspace 577 579 1077 and 1078. "MTAC remains the primary periodical source of information on the electromechanical and electronic digital computers designed and built during the late 1940s and early 1950s as well as on the scientific uses of punched-card machines mechanical desk calculators etc" It also served as a journal of record for the newly formed Association of Computing Machinery until the founding of their own journal in January 1954.
