1840List2979Perrysburg Ohio 1840. Single three-page letter measuring 7 ½ x 12 ½ inches. Some stains folded with small tears at folds and tear at seal; overall near fine. Joseph Badger 1757–1846 was the first missionary to be sent to the Connecticut Western Reserve.1 He served in the Continental Army received a degree from Yale and was sent to Ashtabula County by the Connecticut Missionary Society in 1802. He retired in about 1833 after many years of organizing schools and churches around the Western Reserve plus a stint as a brigade chaplain during the War of 1812.<br /> <br /> Abigail Ely was Badger’s second wife; they married in 1819. The two write here to a widowed friend Harriet Lyon and her children in Gustavus Ohio. They discuss the importance of singing to religious work and of teaching children to sing and describe their living situation—on a farm nearby to some of their children who help them out. They also briefly complain about the quality of ministry in the area writing that the situation:<br /> <br /> “is exceedingly dark; one Church has a Minister worse than none; Six others have no Minister. . Much of the preaching that comes along occationally is calculated to excite the super-ficial affections of the mind without reaching the heart or enlightening the understanding.â€<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of Ohio and religion in the Western Reserve.<br /> <br /> 1 “Badger Joseph†in Encyclopedia of Cleveland History accessed March 20 2025 https://case.edu/ech/articles/b/badger-joseph. unknown

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original wrappers. Uncut and untrimmed copy. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In Ottoman script (Turkish with Arabic letters). 31 p. Ali Bey was a playwright originally. He learned French in private lessons and firstly he worked at the Babiâli (The Sublime Port) Translation Office as a clerk, then he became a member of the Health Council and the first secretary of the Directorate of Quarantine. He went to Eastern Anatolia, Iraq, and Japan as an inspector of public debts (1855-88). After his duty as the Governor of Trabzon (1890-93), he became the director of the Office of Public Debts (1890-93), which would last to the end of his life. It is for this reason that he was called Direktör Ali Bey. His first work was published in Diyojen (1869-72), the first humorous review, published by Teodor Kasap. Ali Bey, who was one of the regular writers of this review, wrote plays for the Gedik Pasa Theater, which was founded by the Armenian Güllü Agop and his friends, and wrote scripts adapted from French plays. He gave Turkish diction lessons to the Armenian actors and participated in theater activities. His plays were performed under the authorship 'A Person' to hide his official identity. He explained the meanings of words satirically in his dictionary Lehçetü'l Hakayik (Language of Realities) which he wrote in 1897 and was the first work of its field; the faults of the 19th century Ottoman Empire were also criticized in this dictionary. He wrote his travel memoirs titled 'Seyahât jurnâli' including his voyages from Istanbul to India. This book includes his humorous short stories printed in Cairo.
