1910010179Peking Beijing China 1910. Envelope or Cover. Very good. <p>This three-page letter is written on illustrated Chinese stationery each leaf has a different illustration measuring 5" x 9". It was sent on 29 May 1910 by a young woman in Peking Debra or Delia Seavens to her Uncle Wilson Smith in Montclair New Jersey. It is enclosed in a "red-band" envelope that is franked with a 10-cent dragon stamp Scott #129 and bears two Peking postmarks. A Peking transit mark is on the reverse along with an indistinct U.S. receiving mark. The letter was routed "Via Siberia" as indicated on the front of the envelope. A typed onion-skin enclosure is included. In nice shape. Transcript will be included.</p> <br /> <br /> <p>Ms. Seavens was serving within Peking as she references travelling out of the city with a female associate. Although the letter doesn't indicate the mission's name it was likely associated with the Anglican Society to Propagate the Gospel as at the time it had the most prominent presence in the city.<br /> </p> <br /> <br /> <p>Red-band envelopes which were prized by the Chinese for their attractiveness and as a symbol of good luck were usually reserved for sending auspicious personal or commercial messages. They were seldom used by foreigners. As explained by Ms. Seavens </p> <br /> <br /> <p style="margin-left:5%; margin-right:5%;">"Please do not be shocked by the envelope. It is truly Chinese. The proper form of address would be on the red line 'Uncle Wilson Great Man' and at one side 'Please give to Mr. Smith' with the address." She also thanks him and her aunt for a thermos bottle which she used while visiting Chinese families to provide them with untainted cold water and hot milk. </p> <br /> <br /> <p>As well she enclosed a most interesting note from her Board Secretary regarding a visit from a Chinese woman . It reads in part:</p> <br /> <br /> <p style="margin-left:5%; margin-right:5%;">"The caller was a serving woman from one of the more well-to-do- families in the village. She came on an errand when Miss Andrews and Miss Browne were both out. Following her errand she said coyly 'Would you have time to take me up stairs' It was quite evident that she was not used to stairs for she mounts it with great caution feeling of the carpet at every step. Stair carpets are interesting . . . but they can't compete with beds to one who has never dreamed of anything . . . but a k'ang. 'Oh how white and how soft' she said 'how many of you sleep here' This question was answered several times till she really took it in that we had a bed apiece. . . She was dumb founded and crawled half way under the bed to see what could be making it behave so strangely as to regain its shape when vacated. She perched gingerly on the side of a rocking chair so that I expected to see her tip over any minute. . . She picked up a book and proudly showed me that she could read a few characters and fairly swelled with pride . . . as she recited a little hymn running her fingers along the lines pretending that she was reading it. . . Then we sang. . . I hit the tune once in a while and she never by any chance did. . ."</p> <br /> <br /> <p>An original source historic philatelic and visual treasure.</p> . unknown
19220002248KAMPONG INDONESIA SINGAPORE 1922. On offer is a super original 1922 manuscript diary of a woman who we believe is named Margaret or Mary Discon. While she has not identified herself she does seem to refer to herself at some point in the third person. The diary describes her time spent in Kampong Singapore near Saribue Dolok. Using 8½ x 14 inch sheets of paper folded but loose she describes her time over 17 pages with some photos as titled: "A Day at _____gale." While the first part of the place name is difficult to read we are sure that local researchers and historians will no doubt uncover the location especially given the detailed clues leading up to the spot. Here are some snippets: "It was with gay hearts that we sat in the lamplight making the best breakfast we could with nerves thrilling in anticipation of the days jaunt while the boy and his wife saw to the storing of baskets of provisions; lemons soda waters etc. etc. We stepped into the car as the sun was lighting the east and a cool breeze making coats very necessary. Our days outing had been looked forward to for weeks and the visit of a fellow passenger brought the journey to completion. The jungle sounds were ceasing and domestic animals of all specimens were beginning to stir. First we went through rubber then a long street of palm shaded road through a struggling and picturesque Kampong ." Their car gets stuck in the mud and they have to have the village people dig them out: " .we reached Saribue Dolok which seemed to consist solely of a large store and a missionary's house but they usually have been native Kampong's hidden in the hollows here and there for we saw numerous parties of Balaks silently following each other to the market in Indian file ." They are now on their way to a volcano. Also describes the natives clothing. Back to Kampong. "The Kampong of Harring all lies just above the shore guarded by banyan trees. The rest house is a pleasant little bungalow provided by the Dutch government for visiting officials and lent for a small fee to any traveler. Here we found contrary to repost that a well supplied table was provided .We crossed a small stream the stream was small but gully was broad by a bridge consisting of two thin tree trunks on one side of which was a low rattan rope which gave us help and hardly any confidence ." They finally board a boat and she mentions how the crowds of people started gathering to watch them and has a photo showing just this scene. They finally return to the rest house. The diary pages were folded actually misfolded and the edges of the pages are a bit brittle and chipped with some little loss but overall Fair. . Fair. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.

19290001973CHICAGO ILLINOIS IL. Good. 1929. On offer is a fascinating original manuscript Depression Era 5 year diary handwritten by a girl named June b. November 6 1909 whose surname is likely either Hluegner or Kandles as she has mention two Grandmothers with those names. June is a sad girl lonely for friendship even while a member of a sorority and it seems her happiness depends on her self image and body weight: 'Went to sorority. They all talk about their fellows. Oh lord! A perfect body!' Her sadness is also reflected in her nostalgia for a few moments of happiness in her past: 'in 1927 two years before this time I was seeing David Filerman. Wonder what he's doing now.' Home life is difficult too: 'Chas and Yi came over after Church. Dad certainly is unscientific. He's right. The world's crazy. Such a tirade of abuse I never heard. Too glad to go to Helen's.' She has one older sister Ruth who is 25 in 1929 and doesn't get along with her. Ruth seems to get all the guys eventually to get married in 1933. June is interested in gardening studies botany and music. Her basic premise is to find love marriage and to lose weight. In these 5 years she achieves nothing in that regard although she learns to drive a car on July 5 1929. June wonders Feb. 20 1930 "why I shouldn't act like other girls Why keep myself clean No fun like others." June is in turmoil about being able to go to college primarily The Principia A School and College for Christian Scientists to which she was accepted July 8 1929 but her attendance seems delayed due to financial difficulties. She does begin to attend in 1932 and also joins the school Glee Club. Besides attending school June works in an office. June does not have an aptitude for studies i.e. October 20 1931 E-French D-European History C-Geology and English and B-Botany. Every so often June laments the fact that she has no boyfriend no money nothing! She does not get along with her father but loves him dearly. Sometimes there's a reprieve and they have a lovely time together. June loves her mother though her mother has expectations of June i.e. her mother would have a fit if she learned she gained 10 lbs. She hates Chicago and often mentions taking grandparents and going shopping in Chicago. She might be living on the outskirts because one entry observes July 20 1931 that the grain is all cut and stacked. This Depression era diary notes on May 11 1930 "most of the furniture gone from the house couldn't give mother anything for Mother's Day". On March 9 1931 "not much food in the house but will manage - so hungry and cold". Then later that year March 26 the family receives a check for $8870.44 and they in turn are very happy. Some miscellaneous observations include: March 4 1933 President Roosevelt elected and March 8 1933 "House meeting on Death" and May 30 1933 "went to Art Institute and saw period rooms and painting exhibit" and June 22 1933 "Went to World's Fair - Marvellous". The approximately 395 page book is well filled and for researchers and historians of Chicago area Depression Era or women's studies will be hard pressed to find a more interesting peek into the world of this young woman.

193610688Los Angeles 1936. Near fine. Folio pp. 56 illustrations advertisements full page Coca-Cola ad in color on the inside back cover. Nice art deco front cover. Separate sheet "Today's Racing Entries Friday September Fourth laid in loose. -- No notable defects. -- Overall Condition. "The National Air Races also known as Pulitzer Trophy Races are a series of pylon and cross-country races that have taken place in the United States since 1920. The science of aviation and the speed and reliability of aircraft and engines grew rapidly during this period; the National Air Races were both a proving ground and showcase for this. -- In 1920 publisher Ralph Pulitzer sponsored the Pulitzer Trophy Race and the Pulitzer Speed Trophy for military airplanes at Roosevelt Field Long Island New York in an effort to publicize aviation and his newspaper. The races eventually moved to Cleveland in 1929 where they were known as the Cleveland National Air Races.2 They drew the best flyers of the time including James Doolittle Wiley Post Tex Rankin Frank Hawks Jimmy Wedell Roscoe Turner and others from the pioneer age of aviation. These air races helped to inspire Donald Blakeslee as a young boy. Other races included in the U.S. National Air Races were the Mitchell Trophy Race the Town & Country Club Race for civilians the Kansas City Rotary Club Trophy "for all three military services" and the Glenn Curtiss Trophy Race for "biplanes with engines having less than 510 cubic inches. Starting in 1929 the races usually ran for up to 10 days usually from late August to early September to include Labor Day. Aviation promoter Cliff Henderson was managing director of the National Air Races from 1928 to 1939. During World War II the races were on hiatus. The races included a variety of events including cross-country races originating in Portland Oakland and Los Angeles with a final destination in Cleveland.4: 79-81 Also included were landing contests glider demonstrations airship flights and parachute-jumping contests. The more popular events were the Thompson Trophy Races which started in 1929; a closed-course race where aviators raced their planes around pylons; and the Bendix Trophy Race the "transcontinental air race" across most of the USA starting in 1931. In 1929 a Santa Monica California to Cleveland Ohio route was started for the Women's Air Derby nicknamed the "Powder Puff Derby" featuring well-known female pilots such as Amelia Earhart Pancho Barnes Bobbi Trout and Louise Thaden. Thaden was the winner in the heavy Class D engines with 510-810 cubic inches 8400-13300 cm3 while Phoebe Omlie won the light Class C engines with 275-510 cubic inches 4510-8360 cm3. This was also the year for the first female pylon race the winner of which was awarded the Aerol Trophy beginning in 1931".-wikipedia. unknown
19470001605ASHLAND DAYTON ORRVILLE OHIO OH. Good. 1947. On offer is an original very intriguing 1947 manuscript diary and journal of a terrible post World War II child custody case and divorce. Unique for the times this was handwritten by an unidentified rural Ohioan who may have been either a Myers or Garver as he identifies 2 uncles. The author tells of his daily life which usually revolved around his large extended family the churches he attended and automobiles which he repaired and worked on all the time though he did do other work including farming. But right from the start the reader sees a pattern begin: the first entry is January 5th where he writes he has loaded up his car went to Ashland by 6:30 pm and then slept on his mother's davenport. He is also sick with a cold that never seems to end. Other entries mention more family travels large amounts of cash buying a car selling a house long and late hours weather reports and concerns and social observations. Yet all the while in the background are his health and the ups and downs of his divorce. He appears to be ill a lot perhaps the stress he sees the doctor many tests different shots and so on. In July he is in trouble with the law who seem only too glad to give him a hard time even though he has legal counsel. A part of the diary tells of his struggles with his own child custody case in which he is trying to get custody of his child. He notes trial dates of which he was never informed. The custody case and visitation get very dramatic as his ex-wife or girlfriend tries hiding the child from him in Alabama. He travels to Jacksonville to talk to the Mayor who took him to the High School where he had traced his daughter Sylvia. He also travels to Alabama and Florida searching for his high school age daughter Sylvia. Later he went to Birmingham to enlist the help of the Sherriff. This whole case would have been very unusual for the time. He does a super job recording each and every visitor companion and family member: Uncles Charles Myers Uncle Newton Garver Woodford Howard Leroy Reynolds Glen McFern Paul Sharpe heard Dr. Davis missionary 35 years in India at a lecture sleeps at the church one night Joe Bagelys Chippewa Lakes Park Lattasburg downtown Dayton Mansfield Perrysville Jeromeville plus dozens of places on his travels.

19480012258Worcester Massachusetts. Good with no dust jacket. 1948. Hardcover. On offer is an interesting journal kept by a very well-read woman in mid-century Massachusetts. The journal belonged to Elizabeth Hazen Beard nee Sherborne or Sherburne 1909-1993. She was born in Worcester Massachusetts to parents Mary Alicia Hazen and WIlliam Frances Sherborne Sherburne where she lived her entire life. She attended Milford High School and then Massachusetts College of Art and Design. She married Sidney Beard a tool maker and together they had two sons David and William. This journal has multiple components though its main focus is on Beards literary interests. Though census data indicates that Beard did not have a career outside of the home it seems she was part of a literary society or other academic club. In this journal she writes what seems to be a lengthy lecture about contemporary childrens literature where she discusses the benefits of reading for children as well as several childrens books and authors. Some of the childrens books she discusses are Make Way for Ducklings by Robert McClaskey a book of animal stories by George Duplaix The Little History of the United States by Mable Pyne Airplane Ready by Sanford Tuasey Little Boat Boy by Jean Bothwell. Later in the journal she writes another lengthy lecture where she focuses on the Massachusetts literary scene including its authors Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson places famous local authors wrote their masterpieces local landmarks that are important in literature and more. Her final lecture that she recorded in this journal is titled Reading I have Enjoyed. Here she writes extensively on the book Early American Decoration by Esther Brazer. Beard is well-written bright thoughtful and deeply passionate about literature. Her written lectures read like elaborate book reports with added elements of history and philosophy. Another interesting feature of the journal are two essays dealing with geopolitics - completely unrelated to Beards work on literature. These two essays are written in a hand that is not Beards and the author is unknown. The first essay is titled Changing Ideas of Empire England and the second is untitled but is about the Wests relationship with Russia and the Cold War. One of the essays is written within the pages of the journal and the second is tipped in. Both are written by an intelligent and knowledgeable author and are written as speeches just as Beards entries are. These were written much later than Beards work as they reference a deep conflict between West and Russia focused on Russia fomenting Muslim discontent in Iran. There is no hint as to who is the author of these two sections. Some brief excerpts follow: Reading is one of lifes recreations. Thoughtful parents teachers and friends should help to instill the love of books with as sure a place and as great patience as are employed in cultivating good manners honesty unselfishness and other fundamental habits of life . Mass is rich with places of literary interest and abounds with scenes reminiscent of our best loved authors. If certain of your pet authors receive little or no mention in this paper I hope you will forgive these sins of omission as time permits me to mention only a few of the many. Reading I Have Enjoyed The book I have chosen for my subject is one that I am constantly reading and referring to as an enthusiast of handwork and decoration . For anyone with an interest in 20th century literature and literary endeavours this is a must-own manuscript. It would also be of interest to a gender studies program as Beard is recorded in the history books as a Housewife yet this journal presents her as a bright and brilliant mind with much going on outside of her domestic life. The journal measures about 9x7 inches and contains 84 pages. It is about 90% complete. The book is hardcover and the covers are in good condition. There is some wear on the corners. The binding is in good condition and the pages are glued and sewn though loosening. The lined pages are in good condition. The handwriting is quite legible. Overall Good. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 84 pages; Signed by Author . hardcover

Signed by Pais. . / BIOGRAPHY: Tomonaga was a prominent Japanese physicist influential in the development of quantum electrodynamics work for which he was jointly awarded the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics :: along with Richard Feynman and Julian Schwinger :: for the study of QED specifically for the discovery of the renormalization method. Nobel biography: Tomonaga completed work for Rigakushi bachelor's degree in physics at Kyoto Imperial University in 1929 with one of his intimate friends. Dr. Hideki Yukawa Nobel laureate. He was engaged in graduate work for three years at the same university and was then appointed a research associate by Dr. Yoshio Nishina at the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research Tokyo where he started to work in a newly developed frontier of theoretical physics quantum electrodynamics - under the guidance of Dr. Nishina. His paper on the photoelectric pair creation is well-known. Tomonaga stayed in Leipzig Germany from 1937 to 1939 to study nuclear physics and the quantum field theory in collaboration with the theoretical group of Dr. W. Heisenberg where he published a paper "Innere Reibung und Warmeleitfahigkeit der Kernmaterie" which was chosen as the thesis for Rigakuhakushi Doctor of Science at Tokyo Imperial University in December1939. In 1940 Dr. Tomonaga directed his attention to the meson theory and developed the intermediate coupling theory in order to clarify the structure of the meson cloud around the nucleon. He joined the faculty of Tokyo Bunrika University which was absorbed into the Tokyo University of Education in 1949 as Professor of Physics in 1941. It was in 1942 when he first proposed the covariant formulation of the quantum field theory in which the concept of the quantum state was generalized so as to be relativistically covariant. During the Second World War Dr. Tomonaga was interested in developing a theory of microwave systems. He solved the motion of electrons in the magnetron and also developed a unified theory of the systems consisting of wave guides and cavity resonators. As soon as the War was over Tomonaga came back to academic research again with a programme in which he was first to summarize and extend the intermediate coupling theory and secondly to apply the covariant field theory to actual physical systems. His aim was to investigate the nature of field reaction in the meson theory as well as in quantum electrodynamics. He was confident prior to the Lamb-Retherford experiment by means of a model calculation that divergence difficulty in quantumelectrodynamics could be overcome simply by handling the infinite mass and charge due to field reactions in some way or another. It was only a step further for him to develop the renormalization theory with covariant formalism in his right hand and experimental support in his left. Dr. Tomonaga was invited to the Institute for Advanced Study Princeton in 1949 where he was engaged in the investigation of a one-dimensional fermion system. Thus he first succeeded in clarifying the nature of collective oscillations of a quantum-mechanical many-body system and opened a new frontier of theoretical physics modern many-body problem. In 1955 he published an elementary theory of quantum mechanical collective motions. Dr. Tomonaga took the leadership in establishing the Institute for Nuclear Study University of Tokyo in 1955. From 1956 to 1962 he was appointed President of the Tokyo University of Education and since 1963 he has been President of the Science Council of Japan and Director of the Institute for Optical Research Tokyo University of Education. He occupies an important position in various governmental committees for scientific research and policymaking. Tomonaga's honours and awards include the Japan Academy Prize 1948; the Order of Culture 1952; the Lomonosov Medal U.S.S.R. 1964. Dr. Tomonaga is a member of the Japan Academy the Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher "Leopoldina" and a foreign member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Science. He is a corresponding member of the Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften and a foreign associate of the National Academy of Science of U.S.A. Tomonaga has published widely in scientific journals on such subjects as quantum electrodynamics the meson theory nuclear physics cosmic rays and the many-body problem. His book "Quantum Mechanics" was published in 1949 and translated into English in 1963. Scientific Papers of the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research, 1940. unknown
