Title: Autograph letter signed to Latimer Clark
Author: Ronalds, Francis
Seller: Jeremy Norman & Co., Inc. (United States)
Condition: Very Good
Description: 1870. Very Good. Ronalds, Francis (1788-1873). A.L.s. to Latimer Clark. Battle, April 11, 1870. 2pp. 181 x 114 mm. Provenance: Latimer Clark. Ronalds invented the first working electric telegraph in 1816. His device involved two synchronized clocks whose dials were marked with the letters of the alphabet; instead of hands, each clock had a rotating disk with a notch cut into it so that only one letter on the clock face was visible at a time (Standage 1998, 19). Ronalds placed one clock at each end of eight miles of insulated wire that he had laid down in his garden, and used electrical impulses to transmit signals between them. He wrote to Lord Melville of the British Admiralty offering to demonstrate his telegraph, but was rejected: John Barrow, secretary to the admiralty, wrote back to Ronalds saying that "telegraphs of any kind are now [after the conclusion of the Napoleonic wars] totally unnecessary, and that no other than the one now in use [a semaphore telegraph] will be adopted" (quoted in DNB). Ronalds did not pursue his telegraphy venture any further, but left a record of it in his Descriptions of an Electric Telegraph and of Some Other Electrical Apparatus (1823; reprinted in 1871 at the suggestion of Latimer Clark). It was left to Charles Wheatstone and William Fothergill Cooke, both of whom knew of Ronalds's experiments, to develop the first telegraph adopted for public use in Britain in 1845. In 1871, in response to a petition submitted the previous year to Prime Minister William Gladstone, Ronalds received a knighthood for his contribution to telegraphy. His letter to Clark expresses his gratitude for this honor and for Clark's part in it: "Your kind congratulations are peculiarly esteemed; for I have every reason to believe that your expressions of approbation &c. of my humble labours in Electro-Telegraphy have been influential in Her Majesty's gracious act in my behalf. "I believe it is almost needless to tell you that the honour conferred is much less valued by me than the testimony it helps to afford to the validity of my early labours in the matter. . . .

Published at 25s, 'handsomely bound in cloth' (Tooley) "A most valuable and important book for the sporting life of the period, aptly described by Newton as 'a biography of a man that reads like a work of fiction'" (Tooley). "This is not a work of fiction, for John Mytton, a rather inglorious character for a biography, was a hard-living, hard-drinking country squire of Halston, Shropshire, capable of the utmost physical endurance, and ready to accept any wager to walk, shoot or ride against any man. Many of his feats are recorded and graphically delineated, including the climax of his folly in setting his nightshirt on fire to cure a hiccough (Martin Hardie). The Plates: 1. Well done, Neck or Nothing... 2. A Nick, or the nearest way home. 3. Wild Duck Shooting. 4. What! Never upset in a gig? 5. I wonder whether he is a good timber jumper! 6. The Meet with Lord Derby's Stag Hounds. 7. Stand and deliver. 8. Tally ho! Tally ho!... 9. The Oaks Filly. 10. Light come, light go. 11. On Baronet clears nine yards of water. 12.

Binding quite worn; spine frayed and partially lacking; last line of manuscript text to label crudely erased. Minor staining and foxing, most noticeable to first leaves.

Title: Souvenir of Educational and Benevolent Work Among the Negroes of the South. 1865-1898
Author: [African Americana]: Scott, W.H.
Seller: The Joe Fay Company LLC (United States)
Condition: Very good.
Description: Boston, 1898. Very good.. [4]pp. on a single folded sheet. Minor wear, creasing, and staining. Small abrasion at spine fold. [with:] Calling card, 3 x 5 inches. Small paperclip stain at top left. [and:] Blank donation form, 5.25 x 5.25 inches. Small area of staining, minor edge wear. A scarce brochure "compiled in the interest of Negro Education" by Rev. William Henry Scott, an African American Baptist minister and racial activist who spent the last eighteen years of his life in Boston. Here, Scott and Rev. J.M. Waldron provide a comparison of the position of African American socio-economic status, education, population, and more. For example: "In '65, 4,000,000 Negroes. In '65 the Negro had nothing. In '98, 10,000,000 Negroes. In '98 between $400,000,000 and $500,000,000." The last page of this ephemeral leaflet seeks donations and supplies for the Bethel Industrial and Bible Training School for African Americans that was located (or to be located) somewhere in Jacksonville or Duval County, Florida. The latter three pages are each illustrated with a single image, including portraits of Scott and Waldron, and a drawing of the aforementioned Bethel Industrial and Bible Training School. The brochure is accompanied by two notable pieces of ephemera. The first is Reverend Scott's business or calling card, identifying him as "Financial Agent of Bethel Industrial and Bible Training School" described at the top of the card as "An Institution for the Industrial and Moral Training of Negroes." The verso of the card is filled with text (about 200 words) describing the "Object" and "Needs" of the new school. The second ephemeron included here is a broadsheet handbill with the same description of Bethel printed on the business card, with a partially-printed donation form on the verso, headed, "Promise of Aid to the Bethel Industrial and Bible Training School in Jacksonville, Florida." Scott's papers are held at Emory University, whose biographical note reads: "William H. Scott (1848-1910), was born a slave in Virginia on June 15, 1848. In April of 1862, he escaped and joined the 12th Massachusetts Infantry Regiment. Following the Civil War, Scott studied at Howard University Law School. He taught newly freed slaves in Virginia until he was forced to flee the state as a result of racist intimidation. He then enrolled at Wayland Seminary and was ordained a Baptist minister in 1880. He served churches in Washington, D.C., Virginia, and Massachusetts. He established ‘Scott's Boston Cheap Bookstore’ in the 1880s, selling it in 1892 when he moved to Boston to serve as pastor of Calvary Baptist Church. Scott was an advocate for African American rights. He founded the Massachusetts Racial Protective Association in March 1896; he was one of 29 original members of the Niagara Movement; and he helped organize the National Independent Political League in 1908. Scott died in Woburn, Massachusetts, on June 27, 1910." A wonderful trio of ephemeral items relating to a notable 19th-century African-American industrial school in Florida.

An exceptional copy. 2024 Hard Cover. 443 pp. Marianne Dashwood wears her heart on her sleeve, and when she falls in love with the dashing but unsuitable John Willoughby she ignores her sister Elinor's warning that her impulsive behaviour leaves her open to gossip and innuendo. Meanwhile Elinor, always sensitive to social convention, is struggling to conceal her own romantic disappointment, even from those closest to her. Through their parallel experience of love - and its threatened loss - the sisters learn that sense must mix with sensibility if they are to find personal happiness in a society where status and money govern the rules of love.
