The papers were published at the same time in German both here in Annalen and in Schweiger's Journal and in French. By running many hundreds of analysis of chemical compounds he gave so many examples of the law of definite proportions that the world of chemistry could no longer doubt its validity and in so doing he gave experimental evidence to the atomic theory. He hereby laid a solid fundation for the further development of chemistry.According to Söderbaum Jac. Berzelius 2 p.12 "It was a giant work one of the most importent in the history of chemistry which was here presented. One is even more impressed when one remembers that it was a pioneer undertaking in every sense of the term. Analytic and synthetic methods existed before Berzelius' time to be sure but there were no precise methods of the sort which he required. They all had to be elaborated at the cost of time and labour."J. Erik Jorpes "Jac. Berzelius" p.45."In general Berzelius's efforts were directed toward the consolidation and extension of the atomic theory. He improved chemical analysis and determined the composition of a large number of compounds thus verifying the laws of constant and multiple proportions and furnishing the most accurate equivalent weights then available. By ingenious methods he arrived at the correct atomic composition of most common substances and thus was enabled to draw up in 1826 a table of atomic weights very nearly identical with the modern one."Leicester & Klicktein "A Source Book in Chemistry" p. 258.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1810-20 C. </em> unknown

Spine loose and light wear to extremties internally fine and clean. 86 pp. <br/><br/><em>First edition of Grimm's important work which he considered one of the very earliest to introduce cremation to the modern western world. Here Grimm traces cremation through the history of Western civilization and illustrated its aesthetic and ennobling benefits with a host of examples from various cultures which to him represented "stages in the refinement of humankind". "While he described cremation as "progress in the mental education of the people". He dedicated the bulk of his speech to funerary rituals among ancient Greeks and Romans whom he revered. Grimm focused on ethnological descriptions of cremation practices but he also mentioned practical advantages like improvising hygiene saving space and making the transport of remains easier. To preempt potential objections about the Christian belief in resurrection he assured his audience that the physical product of incineration and decomposition were identical."

He is best known as the discoverer of Grimm's Law the author of the monumental Deutsches Wörterbuch his Deutsche Mythologie and more popularly as one of the Brothers Grimm as the editor of Grimm's Fairy Tales </em> hardcover

Anslinger led the Federal Bureau of Narcotics from 1930 to 1962 and linked marijuana to derangement insanity military insubordination and social breakdown.

AQ22439Florence: s.n. s.d. but C19th Manuscript on paper ff. 4 1 31 11 first 4 and last 11 blank. Manuscript on blue paper black-brown ink c.16 lines per full page only written on recto. Large hand-coloured coat of arms of D’Oria tipped-in as frontispiece. First leaf minimally soiled and foxed at margins. A very good copy in 19th-century half vellum over marbled boards spine gilt gilt-lettered morocco label lower edges slightly rubbed. Manuscript note signed F.C. Brooke on first blank his side annotations throughout. From the library of the major scholar F. C. Brooke 1810-1896 of Ufford Suffolk. His manuscript note on the first blank reads: ‘I copied this M.S. at Florence in the month of May 1844 from the original M.S. lent to me by the author Count Gräberg de Hemsö librarian of the Pitti Palace. F.C. Brooke.’ An important book collector Brooke lived in Florence and was part of an intellectual circle of British bibliophiles including Lord Vernon. The Swedish count Jacob Gråberg 1776-1847 was a scholar who after a career aboard mercantile ships and those of the British navy ended up as librarian at Palazzo Pitti in Florence. He was the author of works on philology mineralogy geography and statistics. The manuscript the text of which appears to be unpublished was written by Gråberg using archival documents he found in Genoa e.g. Caleagnino’s ‘Memorie di Casa D’Oria’ Adam de Montaldo unavailable elsewhere or printed sources e.g. Scoppius’s work on the origins of major European families. Prefaced by a beautifully drawn hand-coloured coat of arms it is a history of the D’Oria also Doria or De Auria a major Genoese family. It provides an ‘exact genealogy’ of the family so as to defy the widespread early modern fashion of devising mythological or pseudo-historical ancestors to ground a family’s origins in an immemorial and more prestigious past. The text entitled ‘Première Partie’ spans the years 941 and 1300 with mentions of other Genoese families and personalities like Orietta D’Oria. Other than the original which Brooke references we have not traced any other copies of this manuscript in institutional libraries. . 8vo. [s.n., s.d., but C19th] hardcover

1985GG01761Los Angeles:: Leigh Wiener 1985. 1985. 10 x 8 inches. With the photographer's rubber-stamp on verso. Inscribed by Zeitlin to Mary H. Owen sister of Neal Harlow "To Mary Happy Days Jake Zeitlin". Zeitlin had a special relationship with the Harlows as he used to live and meet next door to their home and talk & drink in the Echo Park district of Los Angeles. "During his 50-year career as a photographer and photojournalist Leigh Wiener photographed every U.S. president from Truman to Reagan Hollywood legends from Marilyn to Marlon and musicians from Miles to Sinatra. After moving to Los Angeles in 1946 Wiener went on to become a staff photographer at the Los Angeles Times before shooting freelance for Life Time Fortune and Sports Illustrated. He created and co-hosted the Emmy-winning television show "Talk about Pictures" on KNBC. Wiener's photographs are in the permanent collections of the National Portrait Gallery. He passed away in 1993 leaving behind a rich archive of images that uniquely captures the second half of the 20th century." – LWG. See: Wiener Leigh How do you photograph people BIO: "Mr. Wiener was born in Manhattan and attended the University of California at Los Angeles. In the early 1950's he worked for The Los Angeles Times as a staff photographer then joined the military and worked in Europe on the staff of Stars and Stripes the Army newspaper." Wiener died at just 62 years of age. "The cause was complications of a blood disease said Cliff Dektar his publicist.
