Minor dampstaining but good to very good. From the library of Alfred Swaine Taylor founder of forensic toxicology an archive relating to the notorious and sensational Charles Bravo poisoning a case that is still unsolved. The Bravo mystery has inspired several works of fiction including Shirley Jackson's We Have Always Lived in the Castle 1962 and a three-part BBC serial titled The Poisoning of Charles Bravo 1975. Bravo 1845-76 a 33-year-old barrister died of tartar emetic antimony poisoning on 21 April 1876 less than five months after his marriage to a wealthy widow; the marriage was reportedly an unhappy one. The inquest on Bravo's death held on 25 and 28 April returned an open verdict but the circumstances of the case were so suspicious that Taylor offered his expert advice to Harry Bodkin Poland one of the attorneys for the Crown. Our archive includes the letter Poland sent thanking Taylor for "your letter about the Bravo Case and for the offer of further advice and assistance" and informing Taylor that he "will show your letter to Mr. Augustus K. Stephenson the Solicitor to the Treasury." Stephenson is represented in the archive by three letters asking for Taylor's expert opinion on the case: "You have read the account of the Post-mortem encl. by Dr. Payne . . . That being so does it enable you to form an opinion as to whether the antimony was taken in solid food . . . letter of 3 June. "Assuming small traces of antimony to have been found in the liver of a deceased person-Can you form any opinion as to length of time before death that the antimony was taken" letter of 5 June. "Can you tell me whether antimony in the form of tartar emetic wd. if taken in small doses at intervals during pregnancy induce a miscarriage letter of 22 July. The last item in our archive is a galley proof corrected in Taylor's hand of the first two-thirds of an article on the Bravo case published on 20 May in the British Medical Journal; although the article is unsigned it was most likely written by Taylor. Based on the medical evidence Taylor concluded that Bravo had ingested the fatal dose of antimony during his last meal. He severely criticized the investigators in the case for not testing the remains of the bottle of wine he had drunk with the meal-"the only article of food not shared in common with the three who sat at the dinner-table . . . If tartar emetic had been found in this wine much of the present mystery hanging about the case would be removed . . . In tracing the further history of this bottle we learn that no one now knows what became of it or its contents." . unknown

Poland a November UprisingABAA

183130282large folio broadsheet circular printed on both sides "Supplement." At upper left corner but no other imprint information. Folded in quarters some minor spotting else a very good copy. The Marquis de Lafayette the president of the committee once again leads a fight for freedom although this time only diplomatically. Lafayette subscribed 2000 francs â€“ the largest subscriber. The presumed first printing of this broadsheet very likely an extra or supplement to the Journal des Debats a Parisian weekly with regular contributions by Victor Hugo one of the committee members and with what would have been a sympathetic political stance. The broadsheet prints the resolutions in favor of the committee in four columns dated in type at end February 12 1831. The committee members are also listed as well as subscribers throughout France and their donations. Victor Hugo and Lafayette's son George were both among the committee members. The November Uprising 1830-1831 Polish-Russian War also known as the Cadet Revolution was an armed rebellion in the heartland of partitioned Poland against the Russian Empire. The uprising began on 29 November 1830 in Warsaw when the young Polish officers from the local Army of the Congress Poland's military academy revolted led by lieutenant Piotr Wysocki. They were soon joined by large segments of Polish Society and the insurrection spread to the territories of Lithuania western Belarus and the right bank of Ukraine. Despite some local successes the uprising was eventually crushed by a numerically superior Imperial Russian Army under Ivan Paskevich. Czar Nicholas I decreed that henceforth Poland was an integral part of Russia with Warsaw little more than a military garrison and its university closed. Sympathetic echoes of Polish aspirations were reverberating throughout Europe. Under Lafayette's chairmanship enthusiastic meetings were held in Paris. James Fenimore Cooper the American author who was in France at that time was also involved in attempts to help the Poles. Money for the Polish cause was also raised and collected in the United States. Although early reprints are available we have been unable to locate a copy of this undoubted first printing. A complete reprint appears beginning on page 19 in La Pologne et la France en 1830-1831 volume 9 Paris: Typ de Pinard 1831. books
