Autograph Musical Quotation "There little girl don't cry" by Fannie Knowlton

189976141899. Autograph Musical Quotation Signed and dated Februrary 6 99; a section of Knowlton's arrangement of "There Little Girl Don't Cry" pasted with two photographs of the composer one sepia one b/w on a gray card written and signed by Knowlton. Size: 6 x 6-1/2" .Top edge slightly sunned. Marks on back of card from the removal of other pasted items. "There! Little Girl Don't Cry!" is a musical adaptation of the poet James Whitcomb Riley's poem "A Life-Lesson". Fanny Snow Knowlton's 1859-1926 arrangement of this popular Riley poem published in 1891 by Brainard's Sons Company of Chicago was one the earliest arrangements written by a woman. An American composer Knowlton was writing during a period of great opportunity for female composers. From 1890 to 1930 scores and musical compositions by women were being published in record numbers in the United States. For her arrangements Knowlton selected popular poems such as Riley's "A Life-Lesson" and Samuel Minton Peck's "The Grapevine Swing" and well-known hymns such as "Give Ear to my Words O Lord" and "Come Unto Me All Ye That Labor." In 1903 she produced one book of sheet music Hawthorn and Lavender: A Song-Cycle for Women's Voices with Piano Accompaniment. Her work was mainly published by two Chicago companies: Brainard's and Clayton F. Summy. Riley 1849-1916 was a famous Indiana journalist and poet and his words appealed to common people especially children. Riley was known as "The Hoosier Poet" because of his use of characters settings and dialect that evoked small town life in Indiana. He earned his second moniker "Children's Poet" because of his sympathetic depictions of children and childhood. Riley's writing was not limited to an Indiana audience however. Although Riley's work reflected life in the American Midwest much of his work was as well-received in New York and Boston as it was in Indiana. A journalist by trade and an actor at heart Riley was deeply interested in seeing his work published and performed. He had a long-standing interest in music and allowed many of his verses to be set to music. "A Life-Lesson"--a poem originally published in the Indianapolis Journal July 25 1880 and included in several of Riley's books beginning with his collection Afterwhiles in 1887--was a particularly popular poem to be translated to music with over twenty-five different arrangements published between 1889 and 1919. As a song the poem was retitled "There! Little Girl Don't Cry!" although some composers opted for alternative titles such as "The Silver Lining".

On asphyxia and on the Resuscitation of Stillborn Children.

1842M13976Boston:: The Boston Medical and Surgical Journal vol. XXV no. 26 February 2 1842. 1842. 8vo. pp. 409-424. Disbound. Very good. RARE. First American issue. Also published "On asphyxia and on the resuscitation of still-born children" London Medical Gazette vol. 29 5 November 1841: pp. 222-27. / Between 1839 and 1841 Snow experimented with a guinea pig suffocating the creature and then beginning a dissection. He found that an hour after death that he perceived a "slight vermicular motion in the right auricle. He opened the trachea and began artificial respiration. The heart's ventricles began to move and through the coast of the left atrium the chamber that receives blood from the lungs he could see oxygen-rich bright red blood. The heart continued to contract weakly unable to expel blood from its chambers but it kept beating rhythmically for forty-five minutes. . . . This particular experiment took place in the course of his investigations into respiration and asphyxia undertaken with the desire to establish the physiological basis for pulmonary resuscitation on infants." Snow was witnessing one in twenty births being stillborn many of whom were asphyxiated. Many methods of resuscitating were tried including electrical shock mouth-to-mouth resuscitation etc. "Snow surmised that the line between life and death was not fixed and the heart retained its irritability its ability to be stimulated by oxygen beyond death." With this study done Snow's recommendation was to use his "artificial respirator on still-born infants." p. 1-3. This whole effort was to reinforce Snow's experimental method to study a medical problem. Because of this experience he was encouraged to continue his research practices. The announcement created a varied debate wherein many opinions and experiences were expressed. This led if indirectly to his use in 1848 to apply chloroform to a patient with a difficult birthing history. p. 4. â€“ Vinten-Johansen et.al. / "Shepard considers this paper particularly significant for Snow's later anesthesia research."

On the pathology and mode of communicaiton of cholera. In London Med. Gazette vol. 9

184945527London 1849. Snow John 1813-58. On the pathology and mode of communication of cholera. In London Medical Gazette n.s. 9 1849: 745-755; 923-929. Whole volume. 2 1129pp. Text illustrations. 214 x 133 mm. 19th century half calf cloth boards hinges split some wear. Internally very good. Library bookplates. First Edition journal issue. Snow first became interested in cholera at Newcastle-on-Tyne during the epidemic of 1831-1832 and recurrent outbreaks of the disease gave him the opportunity to investigate it in detail. His paper on cholera published shortly after his extremely rare 31-page pamphlet On the Mode of Communication of Cholera contained his first demonstration of the specific nature of the disease which he defined correctly as an infection of the alimentary canal transmitted by ingesting fecal matter from cholera patients in most cases via contaminated water. Snow proved his theory of cholera transmission by collecting data on a large number of outbreaks and correlating them to local water supplies. He argued based on his data that cholera was caused by "a specific living waterborne self-reproducing cell or germ" Dictionary of Scientific Biographyâ€”a conclusion all the more remarkable in that it predated the germ theory of disease by over a decade. Snow may have been motivated to contribute his paper to the London Medical Gazette because a review of his separately published pamphlet published in that journal on pp. 466-470 of the 1849 volume stated that he had not proved the contagious nature of cholera. Snow's theory of cholera transmission aroused much controversy among physicians many of whom still held the ancient belief that cholera and all other infectious diseases were carried by atmospheric "miasmas" emanating from noxious sources. Snow was vindicated a few years later however when during the great London cholera epidemic of 1854 he located the source of infection at the Bow Street pump and persuaded local authorities to remove the pump's handle causing a dramatic drop in the rate of infection. Snow's work on cholera greatly influenced sanitary reformers such as Sir Edwin Chadwick and provided critical support for the work of Pasteur and Koch in the 1860s and 1870s. Collectors of John Snow's work on cholera have tended to focus on and drive up the prices of his 1849 pamphlet and his 1854 book and to ignore the revolutionary conclusions that Snow drew in this paper of 1849.
