2022125 Mount Vernon Street Boston Massachusetts. 29 September 1884. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition lightly aged. The letter would appear to relate to the formation of the American Society for Psychical Research. Six days before the writing of the present letter on 23 September 1884 Minot had been a member of a committee of nine scientists who met at Boston to consider the advisability of the formation of a society for psychical research in America William James being another member. Minot begins the letter by informing Ramsay that 'in regard to the International Congress' 'The matter has progressed thus far favourably and the extent of the interest in the project surpasses our expectations'. He continues with reference to 'The American Committee' which has been given 'full powers to act' by 'the Amer. Asstn. We have already received a gift of £1000 with promise of more as a fund the income to be expended by the Congress for the prosecution of research.' He continues: 'No definite public announcements can be made until the Council B.A.A.S. i.e. the British Association for the Advancement of Science has taken action in regard to the enterprise. As soon as it is in my power I shall take the liberty of communicating with you again concerning our plans.' Ramsay 'will readily understand that so vast an undertaking necessarily matures slowly; at present we are still in the stage of tentative suggestion and no services can be more valuable than those which contribute to spreading interest in the movement.' He hopes that Ramsay 'will assist in this way. There can be no question as to the readiness of the Americans to join in the proposed Congress – The next step must be to ensure the participation of the British scientists.' 25 Mount Vernon Street, Boston, Massachusetts. 29 September 1884. unknown

Small unobtrusive stain to fore-edge of text overall even toning. A seemingly-unrecorded yearbook from the Washington D.C. branch of the Cortez W.

Peters taught himself to type as a child and went on to become the first African-American champion of the World's Amateur Typing Contest. Peters' school was one of the first to teach typing to Black students while also offering instruction in shorthand and other clerical skills. The present yearbook begins with a message from Peters which strikes a conciliatory tone in the wake of racial tensions that followed the conclusion of the Second World War: "We naturally resent discrimination lack of opportunities oppression.But on the other hand there are many other values to be considered which should make us tolerant and willing to work out these traditional handicaps generally." This is followed by messages from the dean and class president Eva Itene Brown then portraits of students and faculty a class history a class prophecy class will class poem and twelve pages of group photographs including shots of the men's and women's basketball teams the coronation ball and images featuring students in the classroom. Many of the students both men and women have included words of advice or stated their personal goals which are printed beside their portraits "To be a good typist" "To be a stenographer" and so forth.<br /> <br /> OCLC lists a single copy of three similar yearbooks all under different titles from other years and branches of the school Washington D.C. and Chicago in 1948 and an undated yearbook from Baltimore but not this particular year at the school's home base.

189013381890. Ink and gouache with yellow heightening on fibrous brown laid paper with a Jaipur Court Fee tax stamp in blue ink 13 1/2 x 8 3/4 inches 343 x 222 mm. Toning handling creases and minor scattered surface soiling throughout. There are scattered coeval Hindi inscriptions in ink on the recto. Raja Mahan Singh Mirpuri 1810 - 1844 was a famous general in the Sikh Khalsa Army. He was conferred by Maharaja Ranjit Singh the title of Raja for his conquests of Haripur Nowshera and Peshawar. The town of Mansehra derives its name from him. Singh was murdered by his own soldiers in 1844 when mutiny broke out in the Sikh Khalsa Army. His death was avenged by his son Chhattar Singh who was himself killed soon after.<br /> <br /> The first revenue stamps in India were issued in the mid-nineteenth century during the Raj and they are still being issued to this day. Apart from issues for the whole of India many princely states provinces and other states also had or still have their own revenue stamp issues. Before independence Indian revenue stamps were closely modeled on similar designs from Great Britain as is the case with this carriage motif stamp from Jaipur. The stamps were issued to denote various denominations including rupees and annas. An anna or Änna was a currency unit formerly used in British India equal to 1â„16 of a rupee. It was subdivided into four old Paisa or twelve pies thus there were 192 pies in a rupee. When the rupee was decimalized and subdivided into 100 new paise one anna was therefore equivalent to 6.25 paise. This particular stamp was used as evidence of court taxes remitted for property dealings. unknown

Also visible is the dome of St. Paul's Cathedral. Published in London circa 1760 this engraving is one of a series of images that were called optical views or perspectives. They originated in the early eighteenth century as part of the thriving topographical print market in cities such as Paris and London. As monied tourists traveled Europe these views became increasingly popular as souvenirs. After a trip abroad it was common practice among the wealthy denizens of London and Paris to produce "perspectives" after a dinner party. The views were enjoyed with the aid of a device known as a zograscope while the hosts regaled their company with travel tales. unknown
