18266455Nijmegen: the widow of J.C. Vieweg and son 1826. Modern quarter sheepskin with a morocco title and author label on the spine lettered in gold the year of publication lettered in gold below marbled paper sides blue sprinkled edges. 8vo. With 4 letterpress folding tables and numerous illustrations and figures on 16 folding plates lithographed by Guillaume Philidor van den Burggraaf Brussels. First edition of a rare Dutch technical handbook on clockmaking which was considered an important manual for the technical training of clockmakers at the time. It aimed to foster a more intuitive understanding of the concepts instead of explaining rules that students would learn at school. The work is divided into four parts: the first part treating basic mechanics the second the calculation and design of clockworks the third clock music and the fourth sundials. The whole is preceded by an introduction on the history of the profession. The work is illustrated with several technical plates and figures offering a visual explanation of the concepts described.Jacob Levi Smit ca. 1766-1826 was a master clock- and watchmaker from Groningen with more than forty years of experience. He was born in Friesland and likely learnt the profession in Leeuwarden where he worked for several years. A number of his clocks have survived. The present work is his only written publication and was intended for the students of the clockmakers school. The publishers preface tell us that Smit passed away on 1 November just as the main part of the text was being printed. A second edition appeared in 1836 and a third in 2011.With the owners stamp of M. Passenier Domburg on the half title. The spine is slightly rubbed. Several faint water stains in the margins of the plates occasional very minor foxing.

1861022383Good. 1861. Ephemera. A historic hymn that was written to Joseph Slichter a private in the Civil War from his brother Jacob Slichter of Hummelstown PA. Dated December 30th 1861. Manuscript letter is written in a clear hand. Letter has moderate toning foxing and soiling; previous owner has written "old letters" in blue ink. The letter was "coppiedsic by Edwin Bower Hummelstown Dec. 30th 1861 by request of Jacob Slichter to his brother Joseph Slichter in the army 3d Reg. Co. D. P. R.V.C. under Captain Briner in Gen McClellan Division." We do not know who first authored this hymn but we found other versions of it with stanzas in differing order but all with the same tone. The hymn is a sad one written from the perspective of a man telling his brother that he is dying: "Harken to me brother harken! I hark something I would say/Ere the veil my vision darken and I go from earth away;/I am dying brother dying; soon you'll miss me from your berth/And my form will soon be lying neath the ocean's briny surf " We found that a Jacob Slichter was aHummelstown PA Methodist minister in 1861. We hope that he was not dying when this hymn was sent to his brother but if he was it was done in a beautiful way. Joseph Slichter enlisted in Co. "D" of the 3rd Pennsylvania Reserves 32nd Infantry and mustered out on 6/17/1864 at Philadelphia PA. The 3rd Pennsylvania Reserves fought at Turner's Gap in the Battle of South Mountain and at the Battle of Antietam. ; 7 1/2" x 12"; 3 pp . unknown

"Vorliegendes Lehrbuch der gerichtlichen Medicin hat der Verfasser zunächst für seine Zuhörer bestimmt welche sich seit einer Reihe von Jahren in jedem Semester aus beiden Facultäten der medicinischen und juristischen um ihn versammeln um die Grundsätze der Medicina forensis vortragen zu hören." "Die Beurtheilung der im Leben noch aufgetretenen Erscheinungen welche auf Vergiftung schließen lassen die Würdigung der an der Leiche vorgefundenen Veränderungen welche möglicher Weise von einem Gifte herrühren können so wie die gehörige Behandlung der Organe und Stoffe welche das Gift enthalten können behufs der Uebergabe an den Chemiker zu weiterer Untersuchung gehören allerdings der Sphäre des gerichtlichen Arztes an: diese sind daher im Lehrbuche erörtert. Dagegen ist von dem eigentlichen chemischen Verfahren hinsichtlich der Ausmittelung des Giftes selbst nur das Allgemeine und von dem Speciellen blos die Arsenik-Vergiftung als die am häufigsten vorkommende aufgenommen und zwar auch nur aus dem Grunde um dem gerichtlichen Arzte und Rechtsgelehrten ein Bild zu geben von Dem was die Chemie bei der gerichtlich-chemischen Untersuchung zu leisten hat. Ist diese vollendet und ihr Resultat dem Arzte übergeben dann tritt erst dieser wieder in seine Rechte ein und giebt sein medicinisches Gutachten auf die Ergebnisse des chemischen Befundes basirt den Gerichten ab. Daß aber die Bearbeitung des chemischen Theils insofern ein solcher nach den eben entwickelten Ansichten in dem Lehrbucbe mit aufgenommen worden von dem lieben Freunde und Collegen des Verfassers Friedr. Wöhler gütigst übernommen worden erkennt nicht allein der Verfasser höchst dankbar an sondern werden mit ihm auch alle Leser dem ausgezeichneten Chemiker Dank wissen.

183419636Berlin: I. Lewent 1834. Hardcover. g. Six octavo volumes bound in three quarter leather over paper covered boards. Each volume has ties on fore edge of front and rear boards. Vol. 1: "Seder Zeraim" 196 pp. Vol. 2: "Seder Moed" 232 pp. Vol. 3: "Seder Nashim" 212 pp. Vol. 4: "Seder Nezikin" 268 pp. Vol. 5: "Seder Kodshim" 264 pp. Vol. 6: "Seder Tehorot" 212 pp. Book has the original Hebrew of the Mishnah and the translation into Judeo-German in double columns atop the commentary "Melo Kaf Nahat" which is in Hebrew Rashi Script. The author of the commentary was a renowned talmudic scholar and author who lived in the first half of the eighteenth century. This groundbreaking commentary was considered a “funnel of sorts†for previous rabbinic and Medieval commentaries on the Mishnah for it collected explanations from Rashi Maimonides Bertinoro and Tosafot Yom-Tov. It also drew heavily upon Isaac ibn Gabbai's commentary. This work was originally in Amsterdam in the year of 1732. This is the later reprint from Berlin printed between the years 1832-1834. Age wear and scuffing to leather some Hebrew script handwriting on front endpapers but books are in overall good condition. I. Lewent hardcover

Wellington is located thirty-six miles southwest of Cleveland; Oberlin is nine miles north of Wellington. In January 1856 a negro slave called John was missing from a plantation in Mason county Kentucky. In August 1856 a friend of the owner recognized John at Oberlin and with the aid of friends from Kentucky arrested him with the intention of taking him back. They took him to Wellington where he was rescued by a large body of persons from Oberlin and Wellington---hence the title. Thirty-seven of the rescuers were indicted by the State and confined for many months in the Cleveland jail while the trial progressed. They were finally acquitted and great was the rejoicing. The account of the affair is contained in 280 double column solidly printed pages."---THOMSON'S Bibliography of Ohio. John P. Jewett and Company hardcover
