115619England late 18th century. . 100-leaf manuscript rectos and most versos filled wax seal remnants to front pastedown leaves wavy at the edges some spotting and marks to contents; contemporary calf-backed blue paper boards gilt floral tools to spine compartments binding marked and worn with spine cords partially exposed and loss of the blue paper morocco label lacking naphthalene smell good condition housed in a black cloth folding case.<br /> An unusual late 18th century manuscript on classical physics that cites Isaac Newton Blaise Pascal William Harvey Henry Power and others.<br /><br />The text approximately 200 pages presents an ordered and detailed account of a number of related topics: optics; hydrostatics and pneumatics; mechanics including simple machines such as the lever and screw the behaviour of descending bodies and pendulums; phosphorus and its chemical transformations; and fortifications and architecture. The notes are dense but generally neat and legible with carefully prepared diagrams so this seems to be a fair copy rather than a working notebook. <br /><br />Newton is cited in the section on light and colour: 'What Sir I.N. has said by way of in the last edit of his Opticks will appear to be an established truth from most if not all the following examples some of which he mentions himself". And Harvey in a short section on chemical transformations: "Harvey had says he the opportunity as well as the curiosity upon several occasions to examine the weight of when some of them taken up in places very distant from one another.'.<br /><br />The origin of much of the material is unclear though the long section on hydrostaticks was taken from Hydrostatical and Pneumatical Lectures by Roger Cotes 1682-1716 originally published privately in 1738 and with a second edition at Cambridge in 1747. <br /><br />Cotes was 'probably the most talented British mathematician of the generation after Newton'. He was nominated as the first Plumian professor of astronomy at Cambridge in 1706 and 'his appointment was favoured by his influential mentor Richard Bentley master of Trinity; by Newton's successor as Lucasian professor William Whiston who claimed to be in mathematics "a child to Mr Cotes" Whiston 133; and by Newton himself. In 1709 Cotes became heavily involved in the work for which he is best remembered namely the revisions for the second edition of Newton's Philosophia naturalis principia mathematica the first being out of print' Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. Cotes died young and Newton was reported to have said that 'if he had lived we might have known something'. A number of Cotes's lectures and mathematical analyses were published posthumously by his executor Robert Smith the Hydrostatical and Pneumatical Lectures being one of them. It is tempting to question whether other portions of the present manuscript are also based on Cotes's work and further academic scrutiny might be fruitful.<br /> England, late 18th century. hardcover

170751058Cantabrigiæ Cambridge: Typis academicis; Londini London impensis Benj. Tooke 1707. First edition. 8vo. viii 343 1 pp. 19th century full diced calf spine with raised bands gilt lettered black label blind tooled borders to the boards ownership inscription of a William Fitton dated June 1800 to the half title another contemporary owner's inscription - that of a Philip Crampton the date cropped "180" mathemetical annotations to the front and rear leaves and in the margins at intervals within. Joints skilfully repaired some mild soiling to the front and rear leaves an attractive copy. A mathemetical text composed entirely in Latin by Newton and edited by William Whiston who had succeeded him as the Lucasian professor of Mathematics at Cambridge University in 1702. The two had become acquainted during the previous decade and Newton was impressed enough with his acolyte that he invited him to lecture at the university when he was occupied with his other work. It was Whiston who persuaded Newton to publish some of his lectures on algebra but Newton was dissatisfied with Whiston's editing and additions to the text - to the extent that he considered buying the entire stock of the book to prevent its appearance in public. That clearly didn't happen although Newton succeeded in having the book published anonymously and its relative scarcity in commerce suggests a truncated print run. The first ownership inscription is that of the Irish geologist William Fitton 1780-1861. The son of a Dublin lawyer his paternal grandfather had been a mathematical instrument maker. Fitton began his studies at Trinity College Dublin in 1794 and earned his B.A. in 1799 but continued studying there until 1803. He went on to study medicine at Edinburgh University becoming a doctor in 1810 and continued his medical studies in London and Cambridge during the following six years. Fitton's interest in geology and mineralogy were his true passions and after marrying into a wealthy family he was able to devote his studies exclusively to these subjects. He subsequently served as secretary and later as president of the Geological Society published numerous reviews and papers plus a small number of books including 'A Geological Sketch of the Vicinity of Hastings' in 1833. Fitton was awarded the Wollaston Medal the society's highest prize in 1852. The other inscription is almost certainly that of Sir Philip Crampton 1777-1858 an Irish surgeon who awarded many honours and held various senior positions in a long and illustrious career: "elected FRS in 1812. In 1813 he was appointed surgeon-general to the forces in Ireland and he was surgeon to the queen in Ireland a member of the senate of the Queen's University of Ireland and four times president of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in 1811 1820 1844 and 1855. In 1839 he was created baronet" ODNB. Cantabrigiæ [Cambridge]: Typis academicis; Londini [London], impensis Benj. Tooke unknown

First edition; 8vo 20 x 12.5 cm; contemporary ownership inscription in ink to front endpapers contents fresh; contemporary sprinkled calf ruled in blind with floral tools in the corners red speckled edges spine lettered in gilt but rubbed with loss of the gilt joints ends of spine and hinges professionally conserved very good condition; 343 pp.<br /> First edition of Newton's treatise on algebra his 'most often read and republished mathematical work' Whiteside.<br /><br />'Sometime between the autumn of 1683 and early winter of 1684 Newton according to the statues of the Lucasian Chair deposited with the university his Lucasian Lectures on Algebra. The lectures bear dates from 1673 to 1683 but these were added in retrospect and it is highly unlikely that they were ever delivered to Cambridge students. From one point of view Arithmetica Universalis can be seen as a fulfilment of the program outlined by Descartes in Géometrie because it teaches how problems especially geometrical problems but also arithmetical and mechanical ones can be translated into the language of algebra which is here seen as the tool for problematic analysis; on the other hand Arithmetica Universalis contains two criticisms directed at Descartes' those being the preference for Apollonian geometry over Cartesian algebra in solving indeterminate problems and the argument that Descartes relied too heavily on algebraic criteria Guicciardini Isaac Newton on Mathematical Certainty and Method pp 61-62.<br /><br />By 1707 Newton had moved to London and his successor mathematician William Whiston took it upon himself to edit and publish the text. It is unclear how much say Newton had in this but he was unhappy with various aspects of the editing and typesetting and refused to have his name on the title page though in the end most of Whiston's changes would be retained in the 1722 edition seen through the press by Newton himself Cohen 'The Case of the Missing Author' in Isaac Newton's Natural Philosophy pp. 35-38.<br /> Cambridge & London, Typis Academicis; Benj.

1940List1819V.P. 1940. With fifty-eight letters from Newton Baker 1924-1937. Generally fine condition. Ellen Gowen Hood was active in the Democratic party at both the local and national levels. An obituary from the Philadelphia Daily News in 1970 described her as “one of the earliest local advocates of women in politics.†She was the chairman of the Democratic Women’s Luncheon Club of Philadelphia for 20 years and had regular correspondence with women such as Edith Bolling Wilson and Eleanor Roosevelt. <br /> <br /> Democratic women’s clubs became active across the country after the 19th amendment passed in 1920 and the democratic party sought to mobilize women voters. As chairman of the Democratic Women’s Luncheon Club of Philadelphia Hood organized events with prominent political speakers and then had the speeches printed in book format. Without Hood’s side of the correspondence we don’t get insight into her philosophy of women’s participation in politics. We do however get a sense for the role that the club played in the Democratic Party. Baker was a periodic guest of the luncheon club and in his letters he praised the organization saying “I think I have never addressed a more intelligent or obviously influential audience†and "I think there is no more useful forum anywhere. They print the addresses made at their luncheons and give them a wide circulation throughout the country so that their pamphlets are now in libraries and in the hands of studious and thoughtful people everywhere." As an avid supporter of Wilsonian ideas and the League of Nations Hood’s political intention with the club seems more focused on bringing speakers that would highlight those causes than specifically speaking to women’s participation in politics.<br /> <br /> The letters from Baker to Hood reveal their shared political beliefs and goals. Their letters are ongoing conversations about the League of Nations and the World Court; the Democratic Conventions in 1924 1928 and 1932; and how democrats should govern following the Great Depression and prohibition. Baker frequently recommends essays and speeches for Hood to read and also helps connect her with potential speakers for the Luncheon Club. He addresses her as a political peer and we also get a sense of her professional persistence and savvy -- in nearly every letter for twenty years Baker responds to her requests for him to come and speak at the club.<br /> <br /> The letters give insight into Baker’s political beliefs as they evolve through the 1920s and 1930s. In the 20s-30s he writes as his thinking on the League of Nations changes from strongly feeling that the United States should join to discouraging it until there is complete support. In one letter Baker describes in confidence one of the only times he disagreed with President Wilson as Secretary of War -- when Wilson sent American troops to North Russia at the end of World War I. In a few memorable letters from 1932 Baker writes about his experience of the 1932 democratic convention and his sense of relief when he was not chosen for nomination.<br /> <br /> The letters also exhibit Baker’s writing style and his tendency to wax poetic about democratic politics. For example speaking about the limitations of the Democratic Party he writes “The trouble about it all is that nobody has yet invented anything better for the long run and the steady pull than democracy and so we just have to be patient with it as we are with the small misdoings of our children and take our joy out of the sure forecast of their fine performance when they have matured.â€<br /> <br /> Other correspondences in the collection include letters from Edith Bolling Wilson Eleanor Roosevelt Secretary of State Cordell Hull historian and diplomat Claude Bowers and Bess Truman. There are also several letters from Ralph Hayes Baker’s wartime secretary in the war department and a central figure in Baker’s 1932 presidential campaign. These letters go into detail about Baker’s role at the 1932 convention his legacy on labor issues and a rumor that he was Jewish.<br /> <br /> Overall the collection provides insight into Democratic Women’s Clubs of the period. We suspect the Baker letters to exist in duplicate at his archive but the collection still provides a succinct opportunity for research on the subject. <br /> <br /> Please contact us for a full inventory. unknown
