10071Headed Smithsonian Institution United States National Museum Washington DC 12 Feb. 1907. Two pages 4to fold mark good cvondition saying: ". It is true that I was misled by a paragraph in the N.Y. Times into the supposition that Mrs. Pennell whose literary work I have greatly enjoyed was the same as the author of the powerful and thrilling story of the 'Magnetic North'; but Mr. Gilder put me right after I had posted the little article which on account of its subject I had presumed to hope might have some interest for you. Conditions have changed so in the Yukon country since my sojourn there that I might well look to you for an introduction to the new Yukon world - and it makes me feel extraordinarily ancient to realize the changes which the years have brought. For your share in helping toward a knowledge of them and lending the torch of your genius to make them not only visible but real to your readers we are all in your debt and I beg you will accept my thanks and congratulations as one of the many who appreciate it." Dall is referring to such works by Robins Mrs Parks as "The Alaska Klondike Diary of Elizabeth Robins" and "The Magnetic North".

Residents’ experience in self-governance was short: the city was incorporated in February 1899 but annexed by Birmingham on the first day of 1910. Opposition to the takeover was vigorous – a mock funeral was held and a tombstone laid to commemorate the “euthanized†city – such that the persistence of the community’s independent identity works against clarity regarding the appearance of the St. John’s Cook Book. Advertisements for two theaters equipped to exhibit silent films place the range of dates across the annexation divide: both – that for the Belle Theatre on page 2 and that for the Franklin Theatre on page 28 – announce adherence to guidelines set forth by the National Board of Censorship a name for what became the National Review Board in use only between late 1909 and 1915. ~ The history of Episcopalians in Alabama cannot be separated from the history of advocacy for slavery nor from the influential tenure of the Confederate episcopate of Richard Hooker Wilmer 1816-1900 an ardent proponent of secession. Unlike Methodists Baptists and Presbyterians Episcopalians did not divide over issues surrounding abolition. While their numbers declined in the later nineteenth century – Wilmer though under house arrest for demonstrations of hostility against the United States president was still permitted to serve as bishop – they retained the loyalty of landholders and industrialists. Thus the upper echelons of Ensley grew sufficiently to merit the establishment of a parish which was admitted into the Diocese in 1898 just before formal incorporation of the city. Images of the church for which funds were raised by the Ladies of St. John’s are not listed among the archival holdings now deposited at the Birmingham Public Library. The brick complex that stands at the site today on Ensley West Avenue was built in 1951.

4027India Early 20th century . Very good. Large painting on a manuscript leaf in Arabic from the "Sharh al-Wiqayah" by Burhan al-Shariah Mahmud ibn Ubayd Allah SEE BELOW 353 x 216 mm hinged onto plexiglas mount with clear tape so that the text of the manuscript is visible from the back; matted matte size: 500 x 360. A remarkable erotic Indian painting of an uncommon type which we describe as "zoomorphic erotica." The painting depicts a camel within a frame surrounded by an antilope a lion a horse a gazelle and a bull; within each animal is a depiction of an orgy comprised of six or in the case of the camel seven men and women all finely rendered by an artist of considerable skill. This is a very high quality piece. <br /> <br /> THE MANUSCRIPT on which the painting was applied belongs to a rare text: is an excerpt from the "Sharḥ al-WiqÄyah" a commentary on a work of Hanafi fiqh law by BurhÄn al-SharÄ«Ê»ah MaḥmÅ«d ibn Ê»Ubayd AllÄh d. 1274 or 1275 specifically from the chapter about PREPARING BODIES FOR FUNERALS. We are grateful to Kelly Tuttle for her scholarly generosity in identifying this text and for dating it to the early 20th century. <br /> <br /> MUST BE SEEN TO BE FULLY APPRECIATED. unknown
