December 17 1923 The White House - to Lew Wallace Jr. son of Lew Wallace Union general in the American Civil War governor of the New Mexico Territory and author of "Ben Hur"- "Dear Mr. Wallace The growth of thrift and saving in this country promises well for our future. Only through sacrifice and hard work can we attain the cherished things in life. This means we must work and save. The progress of the United States Government Savings System in giving to all our people an opportunity to invest in safe securities is most worthy. By placing Treasury Savings Certyificates on sale in post offices banks and trust companies the Government has made available to everyone a security of unquestioned soundness. Their widespread sale makes for better citizenship as each purchaser holds a stake in his Government. I believe also that the enlargement of a national Thrift movement will eventually stamp out the false and unsound practices of the swindler." A 25 line roughly 225 word letter that in the last paragraph goes on to talk about the growth of this system that "will result in increased happiness for the individual and in increased prosperity in general." A Fine letter under glass in period original frame and acquired directly from descendants of the Wallace family never before offered for sale. A superb association and a letter that speaks directly to Coolidge's sense of personal responsibility and frugality. The White House unknown

Pp. 245-266 a. 1 engraved plate ad. p. 251. Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of a groundbreaking paper in chemistry in which Lomonosov describes his discovery of the transition of a metal into passive state and this is the first scientific description of this phenomena. He observed and described fast termination of the dissolution of iron in concentrated nitric acid and attributed this to a change in the solvent properties."Lomonosov employed corpuscular mechanics in chemical explanations more extensively than Boyle had done. Treating chemical compounds as particles in adhesion he held that "adhesion is eliminated and renewed by means of motion.since no change in a body can take place withouy motion". He attempted to apply these theories to chemical phenomena - although he was limited to speculation- in papers on the action of chemical solvents in general."DSB VIII p. 469."Lomonosov was founder of Russian science and he would be universally recognized as a great pioneer of science had he been born a West European. He was famous also for his literary works including poems and dramas. In 1755 he wrote a Russian Grammar that reformed the language and in the same year he helped found the University of Moscow. In 1760 he published the first history of Russia."Isaac Asimov. </em> unknown

A document produced by the Society for Mitigating and Gradually Abolishing the State of Slavery throughout the British Dominions better known as the Anti-Slavery Society. The group was founded in London in 1823 by a group of politicians philanthropists and businessmen including William Wilberforce Joseph Sturge and Zachary Macaulay. The document discusses the horrors of enslavement—even unfavorably comparing the British colonies’ conditions with those in the US—and decries the fact that after the 1807 Slave Trade Act essentially nothing more had been done to put “an end to a condition of society which so grievously outrages every feeling of humanityâ€.

They believed that government support for religious education would violate church-state separation. The decision was made to form a national organization to promote and defend this point of view. The organization aimed to influence political leaders and began publishing Church & State magazine in 1952 error copies of newsletter go back to 1948 and other materials in support of church-state separation to educate the general public. In 1962 and 1963 the U.S. Supreme Court handed down the Abington School District v. Schempp decision which struck down local government-sponsored school prayer and Bible reading in public schools."

This copy belonged to Ruthven Deane 1851-1934 famous ornithologist scholar and bookplate collector; his bookplate is on marbled front pastedown. He was an early President of the Illinois Audubon Society which preceded the National Audubon Society. On the first of 2 blank pages is the signature "Ruthven Deane 1.Mch.1849." Beneath this in a different pen he had begun to write "List of birds" but the ink was bleeding so he wrote on a thick card "List of birds by Dr. S.W. Woodhouse on page 58 Also autograph letter of the author. R. Deane." He pasted this card in along with a newspaper notice of Woodhouse's death dated 24 Oct. 1904.

It was written to Mr. Deane in Philadelphia on May 28th 1900 and concerns an upcoming trip to Boston on the way to Maine. <br/> <br/> Robert Armstrong hardcover

A very scarce directory that probably began in the early 1820s. It continued to be published through 1829 but in 1830 it seems to have become The Brooklyn Directory although Spooner was still the publisher in that year. The first 48 pages appear to provide the "names and residence of all the Householders." The occupations of the people that are named are also provided. Additional information ranging from village by-laws to important members of the fire department is included. Spooner also provides a list of churches in Brooklyn and the results of the 1820 census for Kings County. The total population of Brooklyn in 1820 was 11183. This is a fairly rare title which offers a vivid picture about what Brooklyn looked like almost 200 years ago.</p> Alden Spooner,
