The Diary of Simeon Perkins 1780-1812

Wolbach Simeon Burt; John L. Todd; Francis W. PalfreyABAA

The etiology and pathology of typhus. Presentation copy

192245478Cambridge: Harvard U.P. 1922. Wolbach Simeon Burt 1880-1954; John L. Todd 1876-1949; Francis W. Palfrey 1876-1953. The etiology and pathology of typhus. Being the main report of the Typhus Research Commission of the League of Red Cross Societies to Poland. x 222pp. 13 plates in the text plus 34 plates including 2 in color at the end; text diagrams. Cambridge MA: The League of Red Cross Societies at the Harvard University Press 1922. 267 x 192 mm. Original cloth some wear at spine and corners but sound. Very good. Presentation Copy inscribed by Wolbach on the front free endpaper: "Miss Clara A. Ricketts with the compliments of S. B. Wolbach." Bound in is a typed presentation letter signed from Wolbach to Miss Ricketts dated 23 October 1922 with the postmarked cover laid in loosely. First Edition of Wolbach's classic work identifying Rickettsia prowazekii as the pathogen causing epidemic typhus; Presented by the Author to the Sister of Pathologist Howard Taylor Ricketts 1871-1910 whose pioneering researches led to the identification of the Rickettsia genus of typhus- and Rocky Mountain spotted fever-causing bacteria. Wolbach is best known for elucidating the infection vectorsâ€”lice and ticks respectivelyâ€”of typhus and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. In the present work Wolbach and his co-authors definitively identified the human body louse as the vector for epidemic typhus. Working on behalf of the League of Red Cross Societies' Typhus Research Commission to Poland Wolbach and parasitologist John Todd carried uninfected lice to Poland to demonstrate that these insects transmit the typhus-causing bacteria Rickettsia prowazekii to human subjects. "The carefully controlled experiments of Wolbach Todd and Palfrey eliminated all doubt that R. prowazekii was the causal agent in typhus" Garrison-Morton.com 5393. Wolbach's presentation letter to Clara Ricketts reads as follows: "My dear Miss Ricketts: I take great pleasure in sending you a copy of the Typhus Report of the League of Red Cross Societies Commission to Poland as I have learned through J. Christian Bay that you are anxious to obtain one. Sincerely yours S. B. Wolbach." Clara Ricketts a senior assistant at the John Crerar Library in Chicago would naturally have been interested in Wolbach's work which built upon and extended her late brother's investigations. Jens Christian Bay 1871-1962 mentioned in Wolbach's letter served as Chief Librarian at the Crerar Library from 1928 to 1947. . Harvard U.P. unknown books

Pullen Simeon P.ABAA

Day book 1833-1840

57294Tall narrow folio 150 pages in ink; the first 6 leaves with overpasted newspaper clippings; some pages loose cut or missing; some pencil doodlings; some toning and occasional offsetting; contemporary and likely original calf-backed marbled boards spine partially perished and joints cracked. Detailed accounts of the work of a largely unknown itinerant Massachusetts housewright and general builder Simeon P. Pullen. Housewrights were somewhat different than simple carpenters in that they could make plans organize other workers and bring a building project to completion. Little is known about Simeon P. Pullen personally although his marriage to Mary L. Bradford appears in the Fall River Mass. records in 1829. His work detailed here was for jobs in Fairhaven Dartmouth New Bedford Mansfield and Providence R.I. and he boarded his family on location. For a job in Dartmouth in April 1 1834: "Simeon P. Pullen moved into David Crosby house the last day of march 1834 hired the hole consern for one year and to pay him forty dollars rent". His crew at the time included David Cardy who began work May 12 1834 for $5 a month Crapo probably Isaac Crapo and Sparrows whose first name is not given. The next job was in Fairhaven with Mr. Pearce "to finish a part of Mr. Abernathy hous for $225. and find more new stuff ". In 1833: "Mr. William and Charles Mason to Pearce & Pullen for work on Andrew Rodman house witch thay agree to pay and on Miss rodman hous". In Dartmouth in 1834 Pullen did a major job building a bridge for Joseph Gifford at $1.17 per worker per day. In Providence in 1836 & 1837 Pullen was in partnership with one Isaac G. Brown. They worked on projects for Mr. Baker Elisha Durfee's wharf and D. Vincent. "Providence August 1837. D. Vincint to Brown & Pullen for one door frame $1.00 to one window fraim .50 for putting the pediment a crost the north end $12 for a pot closet under the garet stairs $2.00 to cobboards in the chimney $6.00 for repairing the well drum .50 to buildin the fence at .33 per foot $13.33." In August of 1838 Pullen built a jeweller's shop in Providence for Benjamin B. Brownell for $450. He and his crew worked on the steamboat John W. Richmond as well as for "Dr. Arminton". The steamboat John W. Richmond plied the waters between New York and Providence and was named for a successful physician who was also known for holding much of the State of Rhode Island's Revolutionary Debt in bonds and stocks. The last jobs in the book are back in the Fairhaven and New Bedford area. hardcover books

DE WITT Simeon 1756 1834ABAA

Map of the State of New York by Simeon De Witt Surveyor General Contracted from his large Map of the State

181225627New York 1812. Engraved map hand-coloured in outline sectioned and linen-backed at a contemporary date. Housed in a black morocco backed box. Unique copy of De Witt's important 1804 map of New York with county divisions updated to 1812. In 1778 George Washington appointed Simeon De Witt as the assistant to Robert Erskine the first Geographer and Surveyor General of the United States a position De Witt attained several years later. Following the war De Witt became the first Surveyor General of New York a position he held for an unprecedented fifty years. Among his first acts was to create the definitive first map of the state based on actual surveys. Following the settlement of the state's boundaries and accurate surveys which he directed De Witt published a large wall map in 1802 - the first map of the state and the progenitor of similar mappings in other states. Two years later De Witt issued this "contracted" version of his wall map intending its circulation to meet a wider audience. According to Allen however the map which was sold by subscription "does not seem to have been as widely distributed as its predecessor although it appears to have been designed to reach a wider audience. It may be that De Witt's 1804 map was unable to find a niche in competition with other small-scale maps of the state such as those of Samuel Lewis" Allen. Nevertheless as Streeter commented De Witt's 1804 map is "one of the earliest separate folding maps of New York after it became a state." Interestingly the present copy suggests that De Witt or an enterprising mapseller made an additional attempt to market this map. This copy of the 1804 map is updated to 1812; that is the map is as printed in 1804 but the county boundaries shown via period hand colouring depicts the state in 1812: the far western counties established in 1808 are clearly delineated e.g. Chautauqua Cattaraugus and Niagara counties but Erie County created in 1821 is not shown; Putnam county is shown separate from Dutchess County as per its establishment in 1812; Oneida County is shown with its western boundary on Lake Ontario i.e. before the 1816 establishment of Oswego County; among other additions. In all the state is divided into 47 counties. We find no other example of De Witt's 1804 map altered in this fashion. The exactness and appearance of the colouring however suggests it to be a distinct issue of the map or done for some official purpose as opposed to an early owner's mere manuscript addition.

1837S13080Paris:: Bachelier 1837. 1837. 4to. 4 ix 3 415 1 pp. Half title; light foxing within. Original quarter dark green gilt-stamped calf marbled boards; extremities worn. Very good. PROVENANCE: SIGNATURE OF KARL PEARSON 1857-1936. KARL PEARSON'S COPY WITH HIS BOLD SIGNATURE. First edition of the work that presented Poisson's 'Law of large numbers.' "He improved Laplace's work by relating it explicitly to Jacob Sernoulli's fundamental theorem and by showing that the invariance in the prior probabilities of mutually exclusive events is not a necessary condition for calculating the approximate probabilities. It is also from Poisson that we derive the study of a problem that Laplace had passed over the case of great asymmetry between opposite events such that the prior probability of either event is very small." :: DSB p. 489. / "Poisson's major work on probability was a book Recherches sur la probabilite. . . published in 1837. The book was in large part a treatise on probability theory after the manner of Laplace with an emphasis on the behavior of means of large numbers of measurements. The latter portion p. 318-415 dealt with the subject matter of the title. Some of this material was taken from memoirs Poisson published in the two preceding years. Only a charitable modern reading could identify a new concept in the work; yet the book contains the germ of the two things now most commonly associated with the Poisson's name. The first of these is the probability distribution now commonly called the Poisson distribution. . . In a section of the book concerned with the form of the binomial distribution for large numbers of trials Poisson does in fact derive this distribution in its cumulative form as a limit to the binomial distribution when the chance of a success is very small. The distribution appears on only one page in all of Poisson's work see p. 206. Although it is given no special emphasis tis brief notice did catch the eye of Cournot who republished it in 1843 with calculations demonstrating the effectiveness of the approximation Cournot 1843 . . . The second most common appearance of Poisson's name in modern literature is in connection with a generalization of the Bernoulli law of large numbers." :: Stigler. / "This work is significant for the author's participation in an important contemporary debate. The legitimacy of the application of the calculus to areas relating to the moral order that is to say within the broad area of what is now called the humanistic sciences was bitterly disputed beginning in 1820 in politically conservative circles. . . Poission was bold enough to take pen in hand to defend the universality of the probabilistic thesis and to demonstrate the conformability to the order of nature of the regularities that the calculus of probability without recourse to hidden causes reveals when things are subjected to a great number of observations." â€“DSB pp. 489. LAID WITHIN THIS VOLUME ARE FIVE PAGES ON FOUR LEAVES OF MATHEMATICAL NOTATIONS IN FRENCH SUGGESTING AN OWNERSHIP UNKNOWN PRIOR TO PEARSON. Karl Pearson 1857-1936 "was a major player in the early development of statistics as a serious scientific discipline in its own right. He founded the Department of Applied Statistics now the Department of Statistical Science at University College London in 1911; it was the first university statistics department in the world. The present departments of Statistical Science and Computer Science as well as the Genetics and Biometry group in Biology and the physical side of Anthropology are all part of his legacy to UCL." A major proponent of eugenics Pearson was also a protege and biographer of Sir Francis Galton. / REFERENCES: F. Fraunberger within DSB XV Supple.

Rear hinge very mildly cracked but still holding firm. Quite clean internally. Very good. William Ide emigrated to California in 1845 and a year later after rumors that the Mexican Republic was going to expel all non- citizens he led a group of settlers in what became known as the Bear Flag Revolt. The rebellious Americans raised the California Bear Flag and took control of the Sonoma pueblo and Ide was named Commander of the California Republic. Afterwards most of the party joined Lieut. Col. John C. Fremont in seizing California from Mexico. "This SKETCH contains an account of the early years of W.B. Ide recollections by his daughter of the family's trip across the plains to California in 1845 and an account of the Bear Flag revolt of 1846 as told by Ide to his brother in 1849 and in a letter to a Senator Wambough which as Ide died in 1852 must have been written within a few years of the event. An interesting account of the overland journey of 1845 and important source on the beginnings of American rule in California in 1846." - Streeter. The work is also important in that it is one of the few overland journals written from the point of view of a woman Ide's daughter who in 1845 at age eighteen accompanied her father west.

A presentation copy inscribed by Simeon Ide to the editor of THE EVENING BULLETIN on a front fly leaf: "This volume is respectfully inscribed in "Vindication" of a beloved Brother."
