Eisner was a prominent San Francisco attorney his mother Lena Reinstein Eisner was a member of a prominent San Francisco family her brother Jacob B. Reinstein having served as a Regent of the University of California at the turn of the century. Both of Eisner's parents were native Californians.P. B. Cornwall was an adventurous fellow. In April of 1848 he set out from St. Joe to California. "The narrative records the encounter with the Mormons four thousand strong under Brigham Young at Council Bluffs following the expulsion from Nauvoo; the capture of Cornwall and his companions by Indians; their final escape and arrival at Fort Laramie" Eberstadt 114. They eventually made it across the Rockies but lost their guide Fallon to Native American depredations. Using Fremont's map they crossed the desert and the Sierra Nevada Mountains and arrived in California. Upon their arrival they were $8000 in debt but by the end of their first year had acquired $500000. Pierre Cornwall went on to lead a very active political life in early California. "The Black Diamond Coal Mining Company the Uellingham Bay and British Columbia Railroad the California Electric Light Company and the Mutual Electric Light Company were organized or promoted by him. He had a wide grasp on commercial problems and remarkable foresight and his ventures . were correspondingly satisfactory. Active in business Mr. Cornwall found time for attending to other interests. Never seeking office for himself he was a hard worker for the success of Republicanism in California. He was chairman of the Republican State Central Committee. He was the last surviving member of the first California Legislature and also of the first California constitutional convention. He was a president of the Society of California Pioneers and a member of the Board of Regents of the University of California." San Francisco Call; 9/26/1904. A. M. Robertxon hardcover

76656Hardcover. This photostat copy of Baron Eötvös' landmark report on the use of torsion balances for geophysical purposes belonged to the prominent oil company executive petroleum exploration geophysicist and philanthropist Everette Lee DeGolyer 1886-56 with his ink stamp to the front flyleaf.<br /> <br /> It was at the Fifteenth General Conference of International Earth Measurement held on September 20-28 1906 in Budapest where much of the scientific community learned on Eötvös' research on torsion balances. Within a few years several European scientists were using instruments of this sort for geodetic work the study of measuring and representing the Earth and Hugo de Boeck director of the Hungarian Geological Survey was urging that they be used for geological work as well. An Eötvös torsion balance was used in the first gravimetric survey for petroleum prospecting in 1915-16 at Egbell field in Slovakia. <br /> <br /> DeGolyer tried to obtain an Eötvös torsion balance at that time but the First World War stymied his efforts. Later he made the first torsion balance survey in the United States at the highly productive Spindletop oilfield near Beaumont in South Texas. An oilfield found by DeGolyer on behalf of Rycade in Southeast Texas's Nash Dome was considered the first anywhere to be discovered using geophysics. The strike on the flank of a salt dome in Texas's Southern Fort Bend occurred on January 3 1926 using the torsion balance method which utilized gravity to identify and map layers of underground rock strata while roughly approximating their size depth and density.<br /> <br /> Accompanied by a typed copy of Dr. Wilhelm Schweydar's report on the Eötvös torsion balance 5 p. in German; with Carl Bamberg Schweydar developed a photographic torsion balance; a typed bibliography of related reports published between 1855 and 1916 8 p. largely in English; and four photostat diagrams of torsion balance surveys conducted in Texas with DeGolyer's ink stamp on the verso of one.<br /> <br /> Text in German. Tall octavo: p.337-395 with a double-page table and what appears to be a supplied title page. Full black cloth binding with gilt titles on the front panel a small typed label affixed to the spine and cream endpapers. The top corner of the first two leaves are clipped perhaps to remove evidence of the Amerada Petroleum Corporation stamp which is reproduced in the margin of two later leaves presumably this photostat was made from the copy in the Amerada library around 1916. The spine is lightly faded and leaning just a touch with a bit of mild wear to the corners and tips. hardcover

Issued in six annual parts from 1700-1705 the maps are based on the new observations of the Académie des Sciences and drawn up with the assistance of Philipe de La Hire.ibrary of Congress:The French cartographer and engraver Nicolas de Fer was a master at creating maps that were works of art. The maps that he published were printed during the Baroque period when the decorative arts were characterized by ornate detail. De Fer’s detailed maps and atlases were valued more for their decorative content than their geographical accuracy.Nicolas de Fer was born in 1646. His father Antoine de Fer owned a mapmaking firm. At the age of twelve Nicolas was apprenticed to a Parisian engraver named Louis Spirinx. The family business was starting to decline when his father died in 1673. Nicolas de Fer’s mother Genevieve took over the business after the death of her husband. In 1687 the business was passed on to Nicolas and the profits increased after he took over the firm. Nicolas de Fer was a prolific cartographer who produced atlases and hundreds of single maps. He eventually became the official geographer to King Louis XIV of France and King Philip V of Spain.One of de Fer’s major works is an atlas titled L’atlas curieux The curious atlas.
