250401915 1924 3 1925 3 and 1926 2. The nine items on letterheads of the metallurgy department of the National Physical Laboratory Teddington Middlesex. See his entries in the Oxford DNB and Australian Dictionary of Biography. The recipient George Kenneth Menzies 1869-1954 was Secretary to the Royal Society of Arts between 1917 and 1935. The nine items are in good condition lightly aged and are folded for postage. Each bears the stamp of the RSA some with manuscript docketting. Letters of 4 April and 18 September 1925 are in autograph the rest typed; all nine are signed ‘Walter Rosesnhain’. A letter of 1 October 1924 responds to a request for information about zirconium with reference to the ‘literature’ on the subject and British and American firms ‘interested in Zirconium products’. The rest of the correspondence is taken up with lecturing. The first item ANS 2 February 1915 is a covering note for ‘the synopsis of my forthcoming course of Cantor Lectures’. On 13 September 1924 Rosenhaim writes that he could ‘quite well give either one lecture or a course of three during the coming Autumn and Winter. The subject I habe in mind is the Inner Structure of Alloys on which I gave a Royal Institution Friday lecture last year. While it is possible to deal with the subject in a single lecture it would be much more satisfactory to give a course of three lectures upon it. The subject really relates to the X-ray study of crystal structures and its application to metallurgical problems and consitutes I think perhaps the most important metallurgical advance which has been achieved recently.’ He asks for a quick response as his ‘Winter engagements have a way of piling up during the year’. On 4 April 1925 he states that he has ‘mentioned the matter of Cantor lectures to one or two of my colleagues & I think either Mr. Higgins or one of the others might give a course on such a subject as “Thermometers†or possibly “High Vacua’ but before approaching them he would like to clarify the question of a fee. ‘I am also interested in the matter because although about a month has now elapsed since my recent course was finished I have received no fee & I am wondering whether a letter may have gone astray.’ The matter is presumably resolved as a few weeks later on 30 April 1925 he sends not present ‘a memorandum on the subject of a course to be entitled “Thermometry†by Mr W. F. Higgins of this Laboratory’ and mentions that ‘there is also a possible suggestion of a course entitled “The Production and Measurement of High Vacua†with experimental demonstrations by Dr G. W. C. Kaye’ both of which courses he thinks ‘would be very satisfactory for your Society but that of Dr Kaye would be particularly interesting and would I think attract a considerable audience as the whole problem of high vacua is becoming of every sic increasing importance in connexion with electric lamps and radio valves’. On 8 January 1926 he wonders whether Higgins’s communication with Menzies regarding a proposed lecture has also ‘gone astray’ and agrees to review ‘Sir Robert Hadfield’s book on Metallurgy’ for the RSA journal ‘provided that the review may be anonymous. I very much object to writing signed reviews’. On 11 February 1926 he asks for an offprint of a lecture by Sir Richard Paget: ‘I may be able to obtain a copy by asking Sir Richard Paget himself but I would prefer not to trouble him if it can be got from you.’ 1915, 1924 (3), 1925 (3) and 1926 (2).

171023256Bordeaux: James l'Aveugle 1710. First edition. An important imaginary voyage to Australia: a 'landmark' in the development of the French voyage novel Atkinson in its original full calf decorated binding. <br /> <br /> A Robinsonade account which predates Defoe. It is complete with the ship wreck exploration conflict with local inhabitants stand off and final rescue by a passing ship. It is a reasonable representation of the Australian continent and its challenges along with a realistic estimation of the importance of mining and irrigation to Australia that "foreshadow what has actually come to pass in modern Australia." Friederich <br /> <br /> The title page is falsely dated 1710. In his deep analyses of Tyssot de Patot and his publications Aubrey Rosenberg has concluded that this 1710 printing with the armillary sphere device on the title page with the base pointing to the left is indeed the first edition and was published between 1714 and 1718. "Robinson Crusoe" first appeared in 1719.<br /> <br /> 12mo viii 508pp. Bound in the original full brown calf binding gilt spine in 6 compartments raised bands gilt device decoration on spine and outer dentelles.

127218Fine. Albumen paper photographs each approximately 157 × 207 mm in fine condition; the mount has a few trifling blemishes. The Bank of South Australia building still stands on King William Street Adelaide. The photographer's credit and reference number 'Sweet Adelaide 92' is scratched in the negative. The imposing hospital buildings now demolished are photographed from an elevated vantage point probably the roof of the Botanic Hotel across North Terrace and the wide-angled view shows a sparsely-developed city now lost to history. The reference to Sweet was painted out in the original negative before this print was made suggesting it may be a posthumous print.

The first photograph appears to be taken from the top of the old Treasury Building looking south-west across the square at the imposing Supreme Court building still extant. The second photograph is a panoramic view of the city skyline centred on the towers of the Town Hall and the GPO; a tall chimney on the riverbank pouring out black smoke stands visually between them.

127216Albumen paper photographs each approximately 157 × 207 mm; the road scene has been printed from a broken negative and a hairline crack and small fingerprint are visible in the central portion of the sky; the top margin of the mount on this side has some spots of residual glue and the bottom edge of the mount on the other side has a few trifling surface chips; overall the condition is excellent. The photographer's credit and reference number 'Sweet Adelaide 335' is scratched in the negative of the City Bridge the second bridge built over the Torrens at that spot in 1877. Oarsmen in four boats in the foreground have clearly paused for the event as have the numerous pedestrians on the bridge. The second photograph shows Adelaide's twin towers - the Town Hall and the GPO - in the distance but the most prominent features of the scene are the tall eucalypts lining the road and the cart-horses drinking at a shaded trough. <p>Captain Samuel White Sweet 1825-1886 was a sea captain surveyor and photographer: after he was censured when his ship ran aground in 1875 he 'retired from the sea opened a photographic studio in Adelaide and concentrated on landscapes.
