1892457459Cincinnati; Chicago 1892. Near Fine. A small archive of six letters written to C. Jay French general manager of the American Bell Telephone Company including two holograph letters and a telegram written in 1879 by the Theodore Vail who oversaw the building of America's first coast to coast telephone system. The remaining four letters are from four business colleagues in 1892. Each set of letters is neatly pinned together at the upper left corner: the first with an autograph note by French; and the second with a clipping outlining French's career. Both sets are in fine condition overall.<br /> <br /> Contemporary journalists called Theodore Vail the “Cincinnatus of Communications†and modern biographers call him “one of the two or three foremost organizing geniuses in the history of American industry.†In 1878 he was called to run Bell Telephone as its general manager just two years after Alexander Graham Bell patented his invention of the telephone in 1876. He helped establish the country’s first commercial telephone exchange lines in 1878 and organized the Bell empire in the 1880s.<br /> <br /> The two Vail letters retained by French reveal his direct management style: the first was written to the head of a regional Bell company at Cincinnati to introduce French: “… As he will be in your city for a few days I would like if you would give him all the insight possible into the manner of conducting an exchange and also any other information in regard to the Telephone business that may be in your power.â€<br /> <br /> The second letter outlines French’s duties: “You will make it your first duty to visit the different agencies of this Co. and establish a correct uniform and prompt system of reports to this Company … You will consult freely and fully with all agents … You will impress upon the agents the necessity of the Company being fully advised as to the operations of the agency. In all cases we desire reports of the business – In all cases also it is the desire of this Company that the agents’ interest be consulted.â€<br /> <br /> The other set of letters were written by four leading managers to congratulate French for his promotion to general manager of the American Bell Telephone Company in 1892. A scarce cache of letters documenting the beginning of America’s telephone exchange network. A list of both sets of letters is available. unknown

1857AQ33888Nottingham: Printed and sold by J. Howitt 1857. 24pp. Modern tan cloth lettered in gilt to spine. Original publisher's printed mauve upper wrapper bound in. Extremities a trifle rubbed and marked. Bookplate of Nottingham Public Libraires to FEP with their occasional ink-stamps throughout wrapper worn. 'Breathes there a man who questions the righteousness of our cause Is there a man who would bid our sword return unsprinkled to its scabbard Is there a man in all Christendom who would bid us stand still Then let him look down the well in the barrack yard of Cawnpore!' The second located copy of an impassioned sermon preached by Methodist minister Robert Newton Young 1829-1898 on the occasion of a day of humiliation appointed to mark the atrocities committed against British soldiers and citizens - particularly the Massacre at Cawnpore - during the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857. Young adamant that the Mutiny was the result of the government of India sanctioning 'idolatry' and 'popular superstition' references other contemporary military tragedies to demonstrate British resolve notably the recently concluded Crimean War: 'The cavalry charge at Balaclava was doubtless such a passage of arms as seldom falls to the historian to record; Inkermann was the modern Agincourt. British valour was doughty and incomparable as ever; but it cannot be forgotten that the most magnificent army that ever left our shores melted away like the snow-drift'. OCLC records a single copy Miami; COPAC adds no further. . First edition. 8vo. Printed and sold by J. Howitt hardcover
