Autograph letter signed to Mr. John Paget

186050276London 1860. London 30 June 1860. Bifolium. 4pp. 180 x 111 mm. A few pin-holes but fine otherwise. From English physiologist and naturalist William B. Carpenter who "helped shape the modern life sciences in Britain Oxford DNB through both his writings and his work as a teacher and administrator at what is now the University of London. Carpenter performed valuable researches in marine zoology and was directly influential in persuading the British Admiralty to sponsor the Challenger expedition the first major scientific study of the deep oceans. Carpenter is also recognized as one of the founders of the modern theory of the adaptive unconscious-he observed that the human perceptual system and the mechanism of human thought operates almost completely outside of conscious awareness. Carpenter's correspondent was the police magistrate and author John Paget. "I cannot let Mrs. Carpenter be the only one to express our hearty appreciation of the kind feeling on the part of Mrs. Paget and yourself by which the beautiful gift which we had the pleasure of receiving from you yesterday has been prompted as well as our admiration of the combined elegance and utility of the gift itself. Since its arrival Mrs. Carpenter has for the first time informed me that she had been taken into your counsels in the matter; and I am very glad that without any intention of her own your gift should have taken a form that so appropriately made her a participator in it. For her interest in Guy and her constant solicitude for his welfare have been as I need scarcely tell you in no degree inferior to my own. It gives us both great pleasure to have so substantial an expression of the satisfaction felt by Mrs. Paget and yourself in what we have endeavoured to do for him; and we trust with her that the influences and associations of early years may be pleasantly and usefully kept up on both sides by the continued friendship of our boys as they advance in life. With kindest wishes for the welfare and happiness of Mrs. Paget yourself and your family believe me Dear Mr. Paget always yours most sincerely William B. Carpenter." . unknown

Stone & Kimball and Hamlin Garland: Carpenter Horace ThompsonABAA

Fine Autograph Letter Signed to Herbert Stone About Designs for Hamlin Garland's Books

1893WRCLIT77690Joliet IL 1893. One and one-half pages in ink on recto and verso of quarto sheet of pictorial letterhead of THE LITERARY NORTHWEST with return address and printed portion crossed through. Tiny filing spindle hole; partial splitting at center mailing fold with no loss scrawled pencil docket and light soiling; about very good. Carpenter writes "To Mr. Herbert S. Stone" of the Chicago publishing firm of Stone & Kimball reporting that "All the drawings for the set of books you are getting out for Mr. Garland have been turned in & have proofs of all with the exception of the last two or three . They seem to have Mr. Garland's approval . I have tried to do good work on them and I think they will come out very strong and black. I have made many more than I had expected to but I am of course anxious to make a good showing from purely a selfish reason." Carpenter continues: "I should be very glad indeed to have you give me a chance when opportunity presents itself to do some artistic and decorative work quaint initials and the like or illustrating of any kind. While I have been very glad to have the opportunity of doing some realistic illustrating I think I would make a creditable showing in other directions. I mentioned to Mr. Garland the other day the payment of the $100 . I should very much appreciate the remittance if convenient as this season's experience has not left me in good financial shape." Horace Thompson Carpenter 1857-1947 was an American illustrator artist and art writer and served as Manager of THE LITERARY NORTHWEST AN ILLUSTRATED MONTHLY MAGAZINE which was published briefly in St. Paul by the D.D. Merrill Company from March 1892 until July 1893 -- no doubt its demise was among the causes of Carpenter's financial concerns. He studied under Thomas Eakins at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. "Hamlin Garland's books were the rock on which the firm of Stone & Kimball was securely founded . . . The firm published Garland's PRAIRIE SONGS the essays CRUMBLING IDOLS and the novel ROSE OF DUTCHER'S COOLLY. Another volume of stories PRAIRIE FOLKS was published by Stone & Kimball in 1895 from the types of an earlier edition. The author was extravagantly pleased with the appearance of these books; especially with the designs of H.T. Carpenter for MAIN TRAVELLED ROADS reprinted by Stone & Kimball and PRAIRIE SONGS and with the symbolic design of three cornstalks the publishers gave their bindings. Great pains were taken in the production of these books." KRAMER pp.17-18. unknown books
