19024732Various locations mostly Colorado and Wyoming 1902. Fifteen manuscript letters totaling 43 pages and approximately 7500 words most retaining original transmittal envelopes. Minor overall wear occasional fading but mostly a highly readable group. A small but interesting collection of letters documenting the western mining exploits and family life of Benedict W. Law his wife Rhodocia "Docia" Emma Willett Law 1852-1921 and some of their children and associates. Benedict and Docia married in 1879 and the couple raised two children one of whom Harry C. Law is involved in the present letters. The Law family seems to have split their time between Wyoming New York and Havana Cuba with Benedict stationed at various locations in the west while pursuing business opportunities. At the time of the 1900 census amidst the time period involving the present letters Benedict W. Law 1851-1924 was working in Dixon and Baggs Wyoming and Fourmile Colorado where he is listed in the census as "Proprietor of Placer Mine."<br /> <br /> Benedict's letters emanate from his time in Dixon and Baggs Wyoming where various members of the Law and Willett families lived and worked at times. Almost half of the letters were written by Benedict to his wife ranging over the course of five years. In these letters Law reports on business and mining matters discusses local events and reports on various family matters among other issues. In some of the more interesting passages he details how the river rushes past Dixon in Wyoming describes a woman returning "as the head of her own establishment again" in Dixon after apparently being abused by her husband reports plans to better manage his dredgers in Colorado and more. Benedict's most informative letter to Docia comes from March 1902 in which he details the workings of his dredge and a "water-tight sluice" while at his mining camp in Baggs. He describes "caulking today around the edge of the sluice.and afterwards in a second feed water tank we are building up on the hurricane deck. The sluice is this shape:" Benedict then draws a diagram of the sluice and thereafter further describes how it works. Benedict also discusses the dredge in his next two letters to Docia reporting on the repairs and alterations needed to make the dredge operate properly.<br /> <br /> The earliest letter from Benedict is a familial correspondence to his son Harry Law in which Benedict playfully discusses "snow fleas" in some detail. He also writes another letter to Harry in which he extolls Harry to experience the West encouraging him to "see all the curious little things that are so different here from what they are in our country back there." He also describes a river flood in Baggs that drowned all the foot-high ant hills in the area. There are also four letters from Grace Willett Docia's sister and Benedict's sister-in-law written from either Dixon or Fourmile and sent to their mother Sylvia Willett back in Erie County New York. Highlights of Grace's letters include her relating an incident in Dixon when "the town was shot up by two drunken cowboys who fired several shots as they ran their ponies through the streets" getting sick from canned tomatoes opening a new store in Colorado and other various activities of her and her family in the West. The collection also includes a few letters from Benedict's associates in Wyoming and California.<br /> <br /> Altogether the letters in the present grouping provide an interesting view of life in the American West at the turn of the 20th century with good details on the difficulties of mining in Wyoming. unknown

Special Report of New York State Survey on the Preservation of the Scenery of Niagara Falls and Fourth Annual Report on the Triangulation of the State for the Year 1879. 96 pp. Illustrated with engraved fold out frontispiece 9 heliotype prints one full page engraved plate one photolithographic facsimile plate 4 fold out maps and two loose folding maps. 8vo. 230 x 145 mm bound in publisher's blue cloth. Albany: Charles Van Benthuysen & Sons 1880. A key publication in the creation of the Nation's first state park'. " Concerns about the preservation of Niagara Falls had begun to emerge in the late 1860s as industrialists situated power plants along the shoreline and entrepreneurs bought up land so they could charge visitors for a view. Frederick Law Olmsted was one of the leaders of the "Free Niagara" movement which urged New York State to take control of the Falls so the natural beauty of the surrounding land could be protected from commercial interests and exploitation and remain free and open to the public. This report authored in part by Olmsted was commissioned by the State to survey current conditions and make recommendations on what should be done. As anticipated the report concluded that "we find its treasures in the grasp of money-getters and its sacred groves assailed by the axes of the mill-man of desecrated by the purveyor of public amusements; and are convinced that destruction of the scenery will be swift and certain unless the all-powerful State shall appear as the preserver of Niagara." The recommendations of Gardner and Olmstead along with Barker's compelling photos of area's natural beauty and the development along the shoreline helped turn the tide of both public opinion and rouse state bureaucrats into action. Niagara Falls State Park -- America's oldest state park -- was established in 1885. A fine copy of a rare publication. Printed presentation slip from Gardner tipped in. hardcover

Once likely bound in with other pamphlets the book is disbound with the cover page and last page detached. 14 pages. The pages are slightly soiled and the pamphlet was folded twice horizontally. Good.</p><p>Exceedingly RARE. First only edition.</p><p>On December 11 1854 The Times of London editorialized: "We felt it our duty a few days ago to call attention to the fact that if disease or wounds were to incapacitate Lord Raglan for continuing his labours in the Crimea the command of our army would devolve upon Sir Richard England and we suggested that such a change ought by all means to be provided against." The Times goes on to forcefully attack England for his actions as commander of the Scinde field force during the Afghan wars in 1842. "In the beginning of the year 1842 Sir Richard England commanded the Scinde field force. It was extremely important to reinforce General Nott at Candahar where he was in want of men money and ammunition. Near the village of Hykulzye at the foot of the Bolan Pass General England was encountered by some Asiatic troops and repulsed with the loss of nearly 100 killed and wounded. It was of the utmost importance that he should advance or at any rate not retreat for General Nott had written to him that either halting or retiring would have the worst effect throughout Afghanistan and would be more injurious to his present position than 20000 of the enemy in the field. But General England did retreat. His troops were eager to renew the attack; Colonel Stacy the political agent who accompanied him undertook to storm the position with a hundred or even eighty men - thrice he begged for permission and thrice he was refused. General England retired to Quettah and there began to intrench himself leaving Nott the honour of England and the destinies of India to their fate. The defences before which he retreated were not formidable. They were thrown up in a few hours and when afterwards taken some of our officers rode over them without knowing where they were. General England wrote that the enemy were a hundred to one stronger than any one expected though they were fewer than he was informed that they would be. Finally he strove to throw the blame on the Sepoys whom he would not allow to renew the attack. 'The seeming unwillingness of England' says Mr. Kaye 'to redeem his character by a vigorous movement in advance irritated General Nott more than the disaster itself.'"</p><p>In this letter to his brother-in-law A.F.W. Montagu England describes his actions at that time in great detail and proffers a defense of them. Following his letter of December 28 1854 from Sebastopol are published letters written in 1842 defending him from Major-General Charles Napier the Governor General of India Lord Ellenborough and a letter from his Secretary T.H. Maddock. Finally there is an 1855 letter praising England from General Sir George De Lacy Evans.</p><p>The British army officer General Sir Richard England 1793-1883 was born at Fort Detroit at a time when it was part of Upper Canada. In 1841 he took command of the Bombay Army division and was dispatched to the relief of Colonel Palmer at Ghuznee and General Nott at Kandahar. In 1854 he was placed in command of the 3rd Division in the Crimean war.</p> London, 1855. paperback
1949112j2666London: William Hodge and Company Limited. Fair with no dust jacket. 1949. First Edition. Hardcover. "The record of this trial which follows is the verbatim official record. Much of it is a translation from German and it has only been edited where necessary to make the meaning clear: it pretends to no literary elegance. It is hoped that in this way it reflects better the atmosphere of the trial and the extempore speeches and questions and answers." - Preface. "This report is being published not to encourage a morbid interest nor to keep alive feelings of ill-will against our late enemies. But because the horror through which the world passed in those dark years of WWII was not just a nightmare which cannot recur but is something against which the collective conscience and alert vigilance of mankind asserting the rule of law in international affairs as in municipal ones must protect us. The Natzweiler concentration camp record is terrible." - Foreword. Wikipedia reports that the Natzweiler-Struthof Nazi concentration camp located on territory annexed from France in 1940 held 52000 prisoners between 1941 and 1944 approximately 22000 of whom are estimated to have died at the camp and its sub-camps. The prisoners were mainly from resistance movements in German-occupied territories. 233 pages. Index. Black and white photographic plates.

The work describes the operation of the courts the forms of writs and the interpretation of legal terminology during the reign of Edward I of England. The work was edited by John Selden 1585-1654 but authored by an anonymous author who is sometimes referred to as "Fleta". However this was not a personal name but a title derived from the works preface which notes that it was written in Fleet Prison.It was John Selden who brought this ancient treatise to the public's attention with the first printed edition in 1647 and his substantial appended dissertation pp. 453-553 which offers rich commentary on Bracton Britton Fleta and related works. It also provides a compelling examination of the influence of Roman Imperial law in England-tracing its introduction application duration and eventual decline within the royal courts at Westminster. While Bracton is rightly celebrated as a foundational figure in the development of English legal thought Fleta deserves recognition for clarifying and illustrating complex aspects of its predecessors work.With the bookplate of John Evelyn 1620-1706 mounted on the front pastedown.

Colin Maclaurin professor of mathematics at the University of Aberdeen was awarded the prize in 1724 forthe paper offered over John Bernoulli.He expressed thet the interaction of forces on ciolliding bodies are equal in magnitude but opposed in direction newton's third law and used the physical construct of an elastic spring between the contact points in order to obtain changes in velocity during compression and restitution phases of collisions."W.J. Stronge in "Impact Mechanics".The Scottish mathematician Colin MacLaurin 1698-1746 is best known for developing and extending Newton's work in calculus geometry and gravitation; his 2-volume work "Treatise of Fluxions" 1742 was the first systematic exposition of Newton's methods. It is well known that MacLaurin was awarded prizes by the Royal Academy of Sciences Paris for his earlier work on the collision of bodies the work offered here and the tides 1740. </em> hardcover
