189160747Portland OR & Ilwaco WA: Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Co. McAlpin & Lamb W. Morrison July 1891. Oblong albumen photo sized 9.5 x 7 in. mounted on cream-coloured studio board sized 8 x 10 in. slight curving still a superb exemplar from the library of from the library of Caroline Augusta Gray Kamm 1840-1932 noted socialite and philanthropist in Portland built home for poor women & girls with the YWCA and was daughter of PNW pioneer William H. Gray 1810-1889 who traveled to the Lapwai Mission in Lewiston ID in 1836 where he was the Nez Perce secular agent and she subsequently later married Jacob Kamm 1823-1912 pioneering Oregon steamship builder industrialist entrepreneur and co-owner/operator of the Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Co. This outstanding original albumen photo was issued as a promotion for the Ilwaco Railway & Navigation Co. and the soon-to-be-launched Sidewheeler Ocean Wave. Designed by Jacob Kamm the Ocean Wave was 180 feet long 29 feet at the beam and depth of hold at 9 feet with a much larger deck which was cantilevered out to accommodate the side-wheeler configuration and grossed 725 tons. She was powered by two James Rees & Co. steam engines 24 foot sidewheels fitted with 10 foot planks over 10 feet long and capable of 18 miles per hour. She included enough state room accommodations for 115 passengers and berths for 75 more. Her first captain was Lester Bailey and the Ocean Wave was a vital link to the short narrow gauge railroad on the Long Beach Peninsula which transported vacationers from Portland to Ilwaco WA with a stop in Astoria. In 1897 Kamm’s co-owner of the IR &N maneuvered to lease out the Ocean Wave to the Columbia River & Puget Sound Navigation Co. “White Line†to compete with Kamm’s Vancouver Transportation Co. then operated on the Puget Sound from 1897 to 1899 and finally as a ferry operating in San Francisco Bay from 1899 to 1911 and was the first ferry placed in service by the Atchison Topeka & Santa Fe Railway.

187441043Paris: Firmin Didot 1874. Fine. Firmin Didot Paris 1874 20 x 29.70 cm relié Fifth edition statement. Edition illustrated with 19 chromolithographs and 400 wood engravings. Publisher's binding in imitation of great Grolier-style bindings. Half dark green shagreen with shagreen-textured cloth boards. Corners slightly bumped. Very occasional light foxing. The interest of this work manifests itself both through its erudition and its accessibility and readability historical anecdotes. We owe it to Paul Jacob who was a great bibliophile a writer and scholar and the curator of the Arsenal library. If the entire series has become a great classic in the field it is because it successfully combines the work of publisher printer bookbinder historian illustrators and documentation and few books have ultimately achieved this amalgamation that we owe to Firmin-Didot at a time when books had become quite mediocre.

Scarce first edition in French of the third part of Larbox i kemien the earliest translation into any language of any part of this great textbook in chemistry. Jons Jacob Berzelius 1779 - 1848 was a Swedish chemist considered along with others such as Boyle Dalton and Lavoisier to be one of the founders of modern chemistry whose "enduring contributions were in the fields of electrochemistry chemical bonding and stoichiometry.he is noted for his determination of atomic weights and." contributions to the field of stoichiomtry the "branch of chemistry pertaining to the quantitative relationships between elements in chemical compounds and chemical reactions that these." incur. He was among the first to articulate the differences between inorganic compounds and organiccompounds." and is 'credited with discovering cerium and selenium and with being the first to isolate silicon and thorium. Finally Berzelius essentially ".invented the system of chemical notation still used today the main difference being that instead of the subscript numbers used today e.g. H2O or Fe2O3 Berzelius used superscripts H2O or Fe2O3. LIfted from Wikipedia. <br /> <br /> "It was published in Paris during the chemist's one-year stay there. In this work Berzelius developed his dualistic theory by which he believed that he had explained the long discussed problem of the nature of the affinity that held chemical substances together. This was the major synthesis of his career. He declares in the Essai that "every chemical combination is wholly and solely dependent on two opposing forces positive and negative electricity and every chemical compound must be composed of two parts combined by the agency of their electrochemical reaction since there is no third force."

Uncut and never bound in original publisher's wrappers. Pen and colored pencil underlining to just a couple of pages trivial foxing else entirely clean and fresh a very uncommon survival as issued straight from the publisher. 'Mysterium Magnum is an exposition on Genesis in terms of B.'s mystical system with regard to both personal and cosmic dimentions. Alchemical terms permit reference to both realms simultaneously; nature is humanized and the human is refined through spiritual alchemy. Lucifer's rebellion is representated as a psychological aberration within the first two principles while the fall of humankind is represented as a physiological and alchemical allegory that takes place initially inside an androgynous Adam. Bohm makes extensive use of numerical patterning and of word mysticism: every speech-act represents the 'speaking forth' of divine principles.'
