18503448Great Britain 1850. Comprised of 88 manuscript pages of mathematical definitions tables methods and exercises in a single hand with the ownership signature of "Caroline Waters Age 16 yrs" to the front endpaper. Marbled paper vernacular binding measuring 8 x 12 inches and stitched at spine. Caroline's metric measurements and English currency reveal her to be a student somewhere in the UK. Though the commonness of her name and the absence of a specific date prevents us from locating her in genealogy records the manuscript she left behind reveals much about how and why girls of her age and class were being taught arithmetic.<br/><br/>Caroline's elegant practiced hand suggests that she is a member of the rising middle class and the opening of the book suggests that she is a beginning to intermediate mathematician. At the top of the first page she defines Arithmetic as "the art of computing by numbers" which "has five principal sic rules for this purpose viz. Numeration Subtraction Addition Multiplication and Division." Using this definition she divides her notebook into a section for each providing a definition for that principle plus clear-cut examples of its use in both Simple and Compound formats. Numeration Subtraction and Addition are grouped together at the front; and after these sections conclude Caroline enters in Practical Questions in Compound Addition and Subtraction. These involve word problems involving the exchange of money and the calculation of wet and dry weights cloth measurements and time. She then mirrors this with Multiplication and Division before adding sections on Decimal Fractions more Practical Questions and sections on Federal Money and Simple Interest.<br/><br/>The organization of the manuscript suggests that Caroline copied it out for continued reference where sections are easy to locate and problems clearly illustrate each of the principles. And the emphasis in sample problems on currency conversion monetary exchange and banking implies that her family in some way wanted her to be aware of these concepts.<br/><br/>An exceptional and rich document Caroline's notebook is a rich resource for study including but not limited to the history of women's education middle class education women's domestic use of mathematics women in business paleography genealogy gender studies. unknown books

195026825Albuquerque: The University of New Mexico Press. Very Good in Poor dj. c.1950. First Edition. Hardcover. externally nice-looking copy with no discernible wear but unfortunately with some occasional margin notes in red ink mostly confined to the first 50 pages or so thus the downgrading to VG; the jacket was is a disaster age-toned and somewhat brittle with both flaps the front panel and the rear panel/spine all separated from one another along the fold lines considerable but mostly shallow edge-chipping etc.; it's been pieced back together with the aid of a few small pieces of tape and is held together by a new mylar cover all of which makes it reasonably presentable and a decent protective cover for the book itself but none of which is meant to obscure or downplay its many depredations. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the half-title page: "For Bill / From Frank." "Here is the powerful story of the meaning of Navaho Navajo and Pueblo ceremonialism by a writer who is perhaps unsurpassed in his long and wide experience with the Indians of the Four Corners Country -- where Arizona New Mexico Utah and Colorado join to infold this last Red Island is America's White sea." Ouch.

19860317701986-1987. A collection of letters from Waters mostly to his literary agent Joan Daves as well as related ancillary materials showing Waters at work in the after-market for his writing with opportunities for later editions and film versions. Waters wrote primarily about the American Southwest in particular the Native American experience. His father was part Cheyenne. The first typed letter signed is from Waters to his agent Joan Daves dated August 24 1986 and concerns Lesley Ann Warren's interest in optioning the film rights to The Woman at Otowi Crossing and the contract for publication of a hardcover illustrated edition of The Man Who Killed the Deer. It is stapled to a copy of the contract with numerous marginal corrections and a retained copy of Daves' reply agreeing with Waters that the intended publisher Gibbs Smith had overreached in the contract. An included exchange between Daves and Gibbs Smith posits a simpler agreement while a retained carbon shows Daves reaching out to Ohio University Press to confirm they had no claim to hardcover rights. The second typed letter signed is from Waters to Keith Sabin in Daves' absence and is dated September 29 1986 and describes the purchasing history of Flight from Fiesta and the current unwelcome "blitz" he Waters is undergoing from Ritz Productions regarding theatrical rights. Waters encloses an initialed copy of the letter he wrote to Ritz Productions redirecting their overtures to Daves upon her return from Europe. Both of these letters are stapled together with retained copies of both Sabin's and Daves' replies as well as a retained copy of an earlier letter from Sabin to Waters saying they had been approached by Ritz and the initial contact letter from Ritz with an unsigned agreement for Right of First Refusal. Also included is a letter from Fiesta publisher Clark Kimball to Daves recommending the production company. The fourth typed letter signed from Waters to Daves dated April 29 1987 again describes the publishing history of Flight from Fiesta and informs Daves that the publisher Clark Kimball has been approached by CBS-Columbia regarding film rights and he includes Kimball's letter. Attached are the retained copies of letters from Daves to both Waters and Kimball admonishing all that Kimball has no role in film rights for the title and a later letter from Kimball acquiesces. The fifth typed letter signed from Waters to Daves August 3 1987 delineates an additional inquiry regarding a film option for Flight from Fiesta and several leads on optioning The Woman at Otowi Crossing should Lesley Ann Warren's option expire. Waters takes Daves to task for not responding to offers already presented for not keeping him informed and for being about to depart for Europe leaving him without representation: "I don't like to end our agent-client relationship after so many years but if the overload of work at this crucial time is too much for you I don't see any alternative." A copy of a letter to Waters at about this point from Alton Walpole shows one of the interested parties facing obstacles bringing Otowi Crossing to the screen. Also a letter to Daves from The University of Nevada thanks Daves for sending financials on Ohio University Press's Frank Waters: A Retrospective Anthology included but bemoans how infrequent the agent's communiques have become. However the Daves-Waters agent-client relationship was ongoing in October: in the sixth typed letter signed in this archive Waters informs Daves of yet another inquiry for Flight from Fiesta and asks her advice about payment on an opportunity he has to write the text for a book of photographs to be published by Arizona Highways likely Eternal Desert published in 1990. As mentioned many of the letters are stapled; most are folded for mailing; in some instances they bear the agency's routing marks or highlighting. The lot as a whole is near fine. No Binding.

159mdFlagstaff AZ: Northland Press MCMLXIV. First Edition. Folio black cloth hardcover gilt letters 114 pp. Near-Fine with neat former-owner stamp; in a Near-Fine mylar protected dust jacket. From dust jacket: Leon Gaspard is not just the story of Leon Gaspard the painter. This story colorfully recaptures all the adventures and delightful highlights of the man who was known and loved in his native Russia the capitals of Europe and throughout the American Southwest which was his home for forty years. Leon Gaspard was born in Russia in 1882 and died in Taos New Mexico early in 1964. During his life he spanned incredible times and spaces -- from the turn-of-the-century Paris of the Bohemians to the ageless Tibet of the Grand Lama -- from the ancient Forbidden City of Peking to the almost-today Taos of Mabel Dodge Luhan and D. H. Lawrence. Surely only a man as vital and as sentient as Gaspard could have encompassed them all. Northland Press, MCMLXIV. First Edition. hardcover books
