Farmer from 1852-1853 discussing the earliest trial-runs of the first ever Electric Fire Alarm System implemented in Boston. Though placed into service on April 28th 1852 Farmer's notes in diary form start on June 21st assessing the system while constantly citing ways to improve his new invention in very small part: ".Wednesday June 23 an alarm at 2:15.could not be easily read and caused a delay of 8 or 10 minutes.Saturday July 9th the circuit wheel of the key board needed repairs - the connector melted off by strong battery. July 10th Great Fire in Fort Hill. Alarm first came from Lower Boston plain. They tried to give it from Fort Hill & Persshar St. but both turned together turned too fast while ringing for So. Boston alarm came from Broad St. a delay in the time alarm of about 7 minutes.Friday Aug 6th Wanted! A Battery! Easy of manipulation. Constant & enduring in its operation.

He also patented an early light bulb which was later bought by Thomas Edison. Though a true pioneer of many aspects of 19th century electrical invention he and his wife were Spiritualists and felt that their talents were God-given and that they shouldn't take credit for any of his inventions. As a result he failed to carry his ideas to commercial success.<br/><br/> unknown books

First edition. A major collection of Romanian popular legends recorded by Moses Gaster 1856-1934 an eminent folklorist and Hebraic scholar which includes Gaster's lengthy highly important introduction pages 1-59 in which he discusses his folk tale migration theory in detail. "In these Romanian popular legends so strikingly in contrast to the fairy tales of western Europe one can see evidences of the stage when 'marvelous and wonder-working animals' were implicitly accepted as part of the popular faith . Paganism and gnosticism mix happily. 'The heathen gods the Christian saints God and the devil legends fairy tales oriental imagery mystical traditions and astrological lore are all inextricably blended together.' In a sense the collection is mis-titled for these are actually creation and biblical folk legends in which birds and beasts play a part." - Dorson The British Folklorists pp. 273-6.

18298887Portland 1829. No Binding. Very Good. 50 ¾ x 40 ¼ inches. Steel engraving. Original wash color refreshed; expertly conserved re-mounted on new linen; a few cracks & marginal mends but fine for this kind. The very rare three copies cited in OCLC first edition of this excellent map of Maine by the state's first mapmaker. An exceptionally well-preserved example. Unlike many early American state maps that struggled to get completed Greenleaf's received a warm commendation from the state legislature even before it was published and the mapmaker was granted $1000 to aid him in finishing the map. Greenleaf later received $640 from the legislature for 40 copies of the map that were obtained for state use a remarkable $16 per copy. Perhaps the large number of copies sold for official rather than private use helps account for the map's present rarity. The map was originally intended to accompany an atlas and survey of the state that Greenleaf published the same year but very few complete sets of the three items are known to have survived. Greenleaf appears to have taken special care in the production of this map. Although published in Portland Maine Greenleaf employed as engravers for this work the estimable J. H. Young and F. Dankworth both of whom produced major works for the firms of S. A. Mitchell and others. This precisely detailed map which shows ten counties in different colors provides state county town and township boundary lines. The state's many rivers lakes ponds and even falls are shown as are roads and elevations. The map was re-published in 1844 by Greenleaf's son and namesake from the same plates but with emendations and several times thereafter. Greenleaf published two earlier maps of the state in 1815 and 1820 but the present work was by far his finest. Ristow W.
