18850012039Victor New York Rochester. Good with no dust jacket. 1885. Manuscript. On offer is a letter from a successful 19th century business owner to his father Albert concerning several business matters that cannot wait. The letter was handwritten on September 22 1885 by Eugene S. Berry 1854-1922 of Rochester New York to his father Albert. Eugene owns and operates E. S. Berry Victor Roller Mills a wholesaler of flour and feed operated in Victor Ontario County New York. Context clues from within the letter suggest that Albert plays a high-level role in the business and that Eugene seeks his approval. This single-page letter is handwritten on E. S Berry letterhead. In it Eugene informs his father of challenges with getting a business contract from Mr. Parmele who seems to be an employee of his firm. Mr. Parmele is eager to have Eugene sign said contract imminently but Eugene will require additional time with it before signing. Eugene expresses concern that the company insurance policy expires that very day. An excerpt: I told him that I should want ample time to examine the contract and search and that the 25th would not give it time if he did not furnish the search sooner than Thursday and if then I would be ready on Monday the 28th if all was right. Eugene concludes his letter signing it Yours in haste. This brief letter provides insight into the daily stresses of a busy American businessman as the 19th century drew to a close. The letter is written on one side of an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. There is evidence that the letter has been folded but it is in good shape. The writing is extremely legible. There are two tiny tears on the left side of the letter at the fold lines but this does not interfere with readability. Overall G. ; Letters; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 1 pages; Signed by Author .

1892416601892. Z. Biol. 28. - München R. Oldenbourg 1892 8° pp.105-129 5 Abbildungen Photogravüretafel mit 13 Abb. orig. Broschur; mit eigenhändiger Widmung "With the author respectful compliments to Professor Mischer". Im Winter 1889/90 kam mir eine Idee welche mich zur Wiederaufnahem des Gegenstandes veranlasste. Es fiel mir auf das wenn es mir gelingen würde einen Abdruck auf eine weiche durchsichtige solide Masse zu übertragen es dann möglich sein dürfte eine Einprägung der Faser in die weiche Masse zu erhalten. Falls diese Einprägungen glatte ungestreifte Einsenkungen hätten den Fasern entsprechend so würde dies ein Beweis für die bauliche Verschiedenheit der Fibrille sein; falls dagegen die Einprägungen gestreift wäre so könnte dies nur der Thatsache zugeschrieben werden dass die Streifung der Einprägungen resp. des Muskels durch die Form der Fibrille bedingt ist welche Form und Streifung im Acte des Abdrucks auf die weiche Masse übertragen wurde.

Hinges a bit weak. Pages 97-112 almost completely separated from binding. xii 180 4 p. Tables. Occasional footnotes. From Wikipedia: "John Berry Haycraft was a professor in physiology and carried out important medical research. Haycraft was born in Lewes Sussex England in 1859 and received his medical education in Edinburgh. He worked for a time in Ludwig's laboratory in Leipzig. In 1881 he was appointed chair of physiology at Mason College which later became the University of Birmingham. He taught in Birmingham and attracted many students to the city. During his years in Birmingham and Edinburgh Haycraft had been actively engaged in research and published papers on the coagulation of blood and in 1884 he discovered that the leech secreted a powerful anticoagulant which he named hirudin although it was not isolated until the 1950s nor its structure fully determined until 1976. Haycraft returned to London 1892 and was appointed a research scholar of the British Medical Association. In 1893 he was appointed chair of physiology at University College Cardiff where he worked until retirement in 1920. Haycraft died three years later." Swan Sonnenschein & Co hardcover

It also offers a thorough course for teaching color that incorporates visual tactile and language exercises. <br /> <br />Despite espousing the superiority of art education that did not rely on rote copying exercises Turner accepted the job of producing a new version of White's Course in Art Instruction for the American Book Company in 1891 along with four young art educators--Nathanial Berry Elizabeth Perry Jessie Prince--who referred to themselves as "the syndicate." Bailey was a state agent with influence over art education in Massachusetts where a years-running competition with Prang came to a head when Prang bought out the American Book Company acquiring evidence of Bailey's involvement in the production and coercing a more cooperative climate for Prang's books in MA schools.
