KEINE Anstreichungen. KEIN Mängelexemplar. Frühe Neuzeit ; Bd. 5 Vita A. G. Kaestneri / Der Gelehrte / Der Biedermann / Kästners literarische Werke / Oden / Parodien / Elegien / Prosa / Rezeptionsgeschichte / Kästners naturwissenschaftlicher Ansatz etc. etc. Abraham Gotthelf Kästner 27. September 1719 in Leipzig; 20. Juni 1800 in Göttingen war ein deutscher Mathematiker und Epigrammdichter. Er war der Sohn des Juraprofessors Abraham Kästner. 1756 heiratete er nach 12-jähriger Verlobung Johanna Rosina Baumann. Am 4. März 1758 starb seine Ehefrau an einer Lungenkrankheit. Später heiratete Kästner die Witwe eines französischen Offiziers. Ob aus dieser Verbindung eine Tochter entstammt ist fraglich. Kästner studierte ab 1731 in Leipzig Jura Philosophie Physik Mathematik und Metaphysik. 1733 wurde er zum Notar ernannt. 1739 folgte die Habilitation an der Universität Leipzig Kästner hielt mathematische philosophische und juristische Vorlesungen. 1746 wurde er außerordentlicher Professor an der Universität Leipzig. 1756 folgte er einem Ruf als ordentlicher Professor der Naturlehre und Geometrie nach Göttingen. Ab 1763 war er zugleich Leiter der dortigen Sternwarte. Kästner war Lehrer und später Kollege von Lichtenberg und Erxleben. Weitere Schüler waren Johann Pfaff der Doktorvater von Carl Friedrich Gauß Johann Tobias Mayer der Sohn seines Freundes und vormaligen Leiters der Göttinger Sternwarte Tobias Mayer und Heinrich Wilhelm Brandes. Kästner war ein entschiedener Gegner von Tierversuchen damals: Vivisektion und bekämpfte diese Praxis aufs Schärfste. Er starb 1800 als Hofrat in Göttingen und wurde auf dem Bartholomäusfriedhof beigesetzt. 1750 wurde er als auswärtiges Mitglied in die Preußische Akademie der Wissenschaften aufgenommen. Er war ab 1751 auswärtiges und ab 1755 ordentliches Mitglied der Göttinger Akademie der Wissenschaften. Seit 1786 war er Ehrenmitglied der Russischen Akademie der Wissenschaften in Sankt Petersburg. Der Mondkrater Kästner ist nach ihm benannt. Von seinen zahlreichen Schriften über Mathematik sind seine Anfangsgründe der Mathematik Göttingen 17581769 4 Bände; 6. Aufl. 1800 hervorzuheben. Seine Geschichte der Mathematik Göttingen 17961800 4 Bände ist im Einzelnen ein scharfsinniges Werk doch fehlt ihr der umfassende Überblick über alle Teilgebiete der Mathematik. Am bekanntesten wurde Kästner durch seine Sinngedichte die zuerst ohne seine Einwilligung 1781 in Gießen erschienen und ihm durch ihren beißenden Witz und ihre scharfe Ironie auf verschiedene Persönlichkeiten viel Kritik einbrachten. Sie wurden später in seine Vermischten Schriften 1 und 2 Altenburg 1783 2 Bände aufgenommen und erschienen auch in seinen Gesammelten poetischen und prosaischen schönwissenschaftlichen Werken Berlin 1841 4 Bände sowie später in Joseph Kürschners Deutscher Nationalliteratur Band 73 hrsg. von Minor; Stuttgart 1883. Kaum bekannt ist seine Lobschrift auf Gottfried Wilhelm Freyherrn von Leibniz Altenburg 1769. Wikipedia paperback

Krafft notes that dragons are rarely or never found in Germany but says one was found in Bohemia a few years ago and that they are more common in Nubia Libya and the largest ones in "Indien" probably meaning the East Indies and perhaps based on reports of the Komodo dragon.With an owner's inscription of Stefan von Clodt 1674-1737 Vicar General and Provost of Michaelsberg in Fulda on the title-page of vol.

Abraham Lincoln Lewis 1865-1947 African-American businessman was one of the founders of the Afro-American Industrial and Benefit Association which became the Afro-American Life Insurance Company in Jacksonville Florida in 1901. It was the first insurance company in Florida and one of the largest black-owned businesses in Florida. "As the oldest life insurance company in Florida and one of the most successful black businesses in the state it helped thousands of blacks over the years. The importance of that insurance company… cannot be underestimated. According to the 'Encyclopedia of Southern Culture' the insurance companies established by African-Americans and catering to them 'formed the heart of black financial networks the cultural beginnings of which can be traced to mutual benefit societies and the church'" McCarthy African-American Sites in Florida' p. 52; c.f. Low Encyclopedia of Black America p. 207. Lewis helped found the National Negro Insurance Association and the exclusive African-American vacation spot American Beach on Amelia Island and was Florida's first black millionaire. "By 1902 the Afro-American Life Insurance Company was the cornerstone of Black economic development in the city… and grew into one of the most successful minority owned insurance companies in the country. He was a close friend of Booker T. Washington and helped Washington establish the Negro Business League…" Bartley Keeping the Faith p. 10. The company closed in 1990.

Publisher's original printed paper wrappers. 48pp. A very good copy the binding firm with some toning to the spine. The contents with a few occasional dots of foxing and the odd minor mark to the margins are otherwise clean throughout and remain free from any previous owners' inscriptions or stamps. A scarce British publication celebrating the wit and wisdom of President Abraham Lincoln published shortly after his assassination on 14th April 1865. Beginning with a brief overview of his life the work comprises a wide ranging collection of humorous anecdotes and stories attributable to Lincoln including several relating to the Civil War and emancipation. Quite a number appear specific and plausible others less so: "'How old is that tree Abe' said a friend of the now President when the latter was engaged in the occupation of rail-splitting. 'Well I am not sure; but I am just about to axe him'". Seldom seen in commerce with no copies appearing in auction/catalogue records since 1966.

146474Engraved oval portrait of Abraham Lincoln the sixteenth president of the United States. Displayed in an antique wooden frame. The engraving measures 4.5 inches by 6 inches. The entire piece measures 10.75 inches by 12.75 inches. In near fine condition. Abraham Lincoln served as the 16th President of the United States from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He led the United States through its Civil War and in doing so preserved the Union of the United States of America abolished slavery and strengthened the federal government. Lincoln began constructing his cabinet on election night and sought to create a cabinet that would unite the Republican party. His eventual cabinet would include his primary rivals for the Republican nomination and although his appointees held differing views on economic issues all were opposed to the expansion of slavery into the territories of the United States. The most senior cabinet post of Secretary of State was appointed to William Seward who had recently failed to win the 1860 Republican presidential nomination and Lincoln's choice for Secretary of the Treasury was Ohio Senator Salmon P. Chase Seward's primary political rival and the leader of a radical faction of the Republican party that sought the immediate abolition of slavery. unknown
185013208Washington DC: Office of Printers to the House of Reps 1850. First Edition. Hardcover. Good . Octavo 626pp. illustrated plus six plates. A good or better copy in contemporary 3/4 black leather and marbled boards. Contemporary ownership signature to front free endpaper and small private library label to front paste-down else unmarked. Mild foxing to first and last few leaves. Extremities rubbed and scuffed and the joints tender but sound. An important volume in the pantheon of presidential books which chronicles on pp. 57 and 262 the award of a patent to then-Illinois Congressman Abraham Lincoln. Having twice been aboard a riverboat which got stuck on shallow shoals he developed a concept for a bellows fixed under the hull of a riverboat which could be inflated to lift the boat over the obstruction and then retract. Lincoln had been a patent lawyer in the mid-1840s and was closely familiar with the laborious patent application process. <br /> <br /> To this day Lincoln is the only president to have been awarded a patent a fact which contributes to his enduring legacy as an uncommon genius and polymath. As such this tract while unrelated to politics is an essential volume in any substantial Lincoln collection. Uncommon in the trade. Not listed in Monaghan.
