WRCLIT77774Washington 1 December no year. Two pages in ink on two conjugate quarto sheets of ruled paper. With a number of deletions and insertions. Old folds from mailing small marginal nick very good. To W.T. Robinson who was apparently assisting Gurowski in some capacity with the publication of his writings. Gurowski begins by saying he is ". certain the book will be better as you anticipate and . that your kind cooperation will not hurt it ." and then clarifies his intention in the manuscript explaining: ". where I mentioned the battles of Ligny & Waterloo my meaning is Thiers the historian says that etc. the correction made in the proof sheet points that I was misunderstood. I restored in the proof-sheet the name of Thiers & these lines are to explain the meaning." Gurowski is not pleased with "the Commonwealth . containing the advertisement . The title is not such as I wish" and writes out his preferred version "Diary / from March 4th 1861 to Nov 12 1862 / by / Adam Gurowski" which he hopes can be inserted "provided it is not too late." In the concluding paragraphs Gurowski provides further instructions arising from the translation of his book from manuscript into proof-sheets. Count Adam Gurowski 1805- 1866; Polish-born American author. In 1825 in Warsaw ". he became identified with those opposed to Russian influence and was in consequence several times imprisoned. He was active in organizing the November Uprising of 1830 in which he afterward took part. On its suppression Adam lost the greater part of his estates and escaped to France where he lived for several years . He was also a member of the national Polish committee in Paris and became conspicuous in political and literary circles. The remainder of his estates had in the meantime been confiscated and he himself condemned to death . In 1849 he went to the United States where he engaged in literary pursuits and became deeply interested in American politics. He wrote articles for the AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA and worked on the editorial staff of the New York TRIBUNE. During the Crimean War he sided with Russia and his editorials and pamphlets were an effective influence on American public opinion in favor of Russia. He was strongly opposed to slavery . From 1861 to 1863 he was translator in the State Department in Washington D.C. being acquainted with eight languages. In 1862 he published the first volume of his three- volume Diary. It included three categories of men: Praise Half and Half and Blame. President Abraham Lincoln merited the Praise column as did Edwin M. Stanton and poet Walt Whitman but otherwise Gurowski was highly critical of officials in the Lincoln administration. William O'Connor who translated some of the count's papers into English described him as 'a madman with lucid intervals' . Whitman considered the tempestuous count a friend and attended his funeral. 'His funeral was simple but very impressive -- all the big radicals were there' Whitman wrote." - Wikipedia. unknown books
WRCLIT77773Washington 17 November no year. Two pages on two panels of a folded quarto lettersheet. In ink with several insertions and revisions. Old folds from having been mailed otherwise near fine. To an unidentified "Dear Sir" but perhaps W. T. Robinson who was assisting Gurowski with the publication of his writings: "To shorten the time I make the following suggestion which I request you to kindly communicate to Mr. Robinson & to the Printer-Stereotyper. It is to put at once in type the whole written part of the manuscript & to forward to me the proofsheets before the other part is finished . If Mr Robinson goes on with reviewing the printed mss. do suggest to him to throw out every word which in his judgement unnecessarily amplifies a sentence; & to make the whole intelligible . I forwarded to the editor of the Commonwealth a letter for his paper. If he publishes it then be so kind to repeat to him my request to expunge therefrom the name of Mr Opdyke."

1622222961622. 143 x 97 mm. wide margins.<br/><br/>Slightly worn; edges browned. In very good condition overall. Possibly after the same painting on which the woodcut portrait in his Compendium Musicae of 1632 is based. <br/><br/>Gumpelzhaimer spent most of his active life in Augsburg where he was Kantor and Präzeptor at the school and church of St. Anna from 1581 until his death. "Gumpelzhaimer was probably best known to German musicians of and after his time through his Compendium musicae. The richness of musical activity of St Anna is indicated not only by Gumpelzhaimer's music but also by the extensive holdings of the church library during his 44 years there. A handwritten inventory was started by Gumpelzhaimer in 1620 and continued by Faust in 1625. This list includes in addition to many printed collections several large manuscript books of polyphonic music in score notation. Two of these books have survived one begun in 1599 and the other completed in 1624. They were copied out mostly by Gumpelzhaimer and contain compositions by many prominent musicians of the time."
