65562Small oblong notebook bound in full calf with a metal clasp. 10 x 16 cm. approx. 164 pp. Spine perished wear and soiling to boards front board lettered by hand with Jacob Marsh's name. The entries from March 15 1821 to June 1 1823 record the dates of Marsh's trips once or twice a month to New York City to deliver bricks to as many as a dozen customers each trip plus the quantities of bricks purchased. Customers included: Henry Moore Dominic Westerfield Wm. Post Samuel Parker Gideon Peck Henry Bullwinkle John Scudder Avery & Anderson Vandenburgh & Freeman etc. etc. Capt. Marsh also delivered bricks produced by Benjamin and Samuel Marsh Aron Miller Thomas Marsh and Caleb Hotstedd. A few pages at the back of the ledger record dos-a-dos supplies for outfitting Capt. Marsh's sloop the Essex payments to crew duane sic- douane slips wharfage and repairs etc. Rahway New Jersey was founded by settlers of nearby Elizabethtown and Woodbridge in the early 18th century. The area around Woodbridge was known for its "easily accessible sedimentary clay that produced fire brick capable of withstanding extremely high temperatures" making them much in demand as building materials. A number of brick factories were located in this area. Rahway on the Rahway River allowed for easy access to the markets of New York City and Brooklyn. These accounts are an example of that early trade. see: Virginia Troeger's "Woodbridge: New Jersey's Oldest Township" Arcadia Pub.: 2002 for further record <br/>The extended members of the Marsh family who settled in Rahway included John Marsh who built a saw mill and grist mill along the river in the early 1700s and died at his home at Trembly Point on the Rahway River in 1744. <br/>Capt. Jacob Marsh who kept these accounts is likely a member of this extended family. Presumably he is Jacob Marsh 1797-1832 son of John 1772-1830 and Mary Hendricks Marsh. Jacob married Mary Ann Coddington 1802-1877 in 1819. There is a small receipt pinned into the front of this ledger dated May 8 1843 recording that Mary Ann Marsh received $6.51 "in full of all demand up to this date for John Trembly." <br/><br/> hardcover books

175723854Printed at Harg and Stenbro near Nykoping in Sweden by Pet. Momma 1757. 4to pp. 8 16 unpaginated lexicon in double column; full contemporary Swedish calf red morocco label; rebacked with old spine laid down endpapers renewed; spine quite rubbed but generally a good sound copy. With a 'Table of Terms of Trade and Navigation' and 'Words of Command and Sea-Terms' occupying 17pp. at the back and another on herbal terms occupying another 12pp. Serenius chaplin to the Swedish embassy in London 1725-35 where he tried to strengthen the relations between Sweden and Great Britain. It was during this time that he began work on his dictionary Dictionarium Suethico-Anglo-Latinum first published in Stockholm in 1741. Termed second edition the present work is basically a new undertaking being twice the size of the original with a much expanded emphasis on etymology. Serenius states in his preface that he has been influenced by Edward Lye and 'in a manner excited by the late lexicographer Mr. Johnson that prodigy of laboriousness and sagacity who in the preface to his excellent Dictionary complains of a scanty knowledge in northern literature É I must own that the judicious author is aright." This must be one of the earliest acknowledgements by a foreign lexicographer of the achievements of Johnson. Serenius does not say so but it seems likely that some of the etymologies were borrowed from him. <br/><br/> unknown books

Facciolati 1682-1769 and Forcellini 1688-1768 were both philologists and lexicographers at Padua the latter being the student and later the collaborator of the former. Their editorial work on the 1719 Calepino convinced them of the need for a totally new work. Forcellini spent 40 years reading all of the classical Latin writers. He also studied inscriptions coins and medals. The resulting vocabulary is enormous and proved to be the basis for all subsequent works of the kind.

030020Hardcover. Good. small quarto 73 manuscript pages plus blanks bound in contemporary ¼ leather and marbled paper covered boards binding worn rubbed and scuffed entries are written in ink in a legible hand. Dr. Jacob Burger 1832-1903 Jacob Burger was born in October 1832 in Ohio. Burger's 1903 death notice in the American Medicine Journal states that he graduated from the Eclectic Medical Institute at Cincinnati Ohio in 1856. Eclectic medicine was a branch of American medicine which made use of botanical remedies along with other substances and physical therapy practices which was popular in the latter half of the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries. The term was coined by Constantine Samuel Rafinesque 1784-1841 a physician who lived among the Native Americans and observed their use of medicinal plants. Rafinesque used the word eclectic to refer to those physicians who employed whatever was found to be beneficial to their patients. Burger is said to have settled at Franklin Square Columbiana County Ohio in 1859 where he established a medical practice. In the 1860 Census we find a "Jacob Burger" physician enumerated at Salem Columbiana County. The post office for this area of Salem was "Franklin Square." We learn also from the 1860 Census information that Burger was married his wife's name was Emma. The couple had two children Sarah aged 3 and an infant aged three months who was at the time still unnamed. The family was still living at Franklin Square in 1880 when that census was taken. Burger was listed as a physician surgeon. Dr. Burger spent the rest of his life at Franklin Square engaged in the practice of medicine he died there of a stroke on January 27 1903. Description of the Memorandum Book The first page of the volume bears the inscription "Coroners Witness Fee Certificate The State of Ohio Col. C. 1890." This note states that "Dr. J. Burger" acted as a witness and was to receive $ 10.00 for attendance as witness at the inquest of the death of a woman whose death was caused by "violence." The next section of the volume contains a two page discourse on "intellectual powers" and consists of a disquisition on the "brutishness" of the South Seas Islands people as compared to those "with intellectual powers." Following this is a fourteen page essay on politics headed: "Resolved: That in times of political discussion it is the duty of every citizen to express his sentiments freely and attach himself to some party." This essay was written as the "first debate with the Senior Class and finished on Saturday morning Oct 7th 1854 Wittenberg College D. Burger." The above section is followed by a fifty pages with notes on the "Lectures of Prof. King" consisting of sixteen different medical lectures for the school year of 1855-1856. The lectures were given by Prof. John King 1813-1893 who lectured at the Eclectic Medical Institute in Cincinnati from which Dr. Burger graduated. King published books on "women's diseases" as well as guides to health. He was professor of Obstetrics at the institute. The lectures cover various diseases their symptoms treatment with medical prescriptions. The final section of the volume includes a twelve page list of names and dates. The first date is 1859 the last year is 1895. There are 276 entries and are presumably the names of his patients of Franklin Square. There are also eight pages of medical recipes scattered throughout the volume. <br /> hardcover books
