Some mild toning, mainly to final leaf. Previous owner's small bookplate on front pastedown. Overall a very good copy. "Bacon's major contribution to the development of science lies in his natural philosophy, his philosophy of scientific method, and in his projects for the practical organization of science. During the last years of his life, he expounded these ideas in a series of works, of which the Twoo bookes was the first. The only work Bacon ever published in English, it was later expanded and latinized into De augmentis scientiarum (1623). In the Twoo bookes, Bacon concerned himself primarily with the classification of philosophy and the sciences and with developing his influential view of the relation between science and theology. While preserving the traditional distinction between knowledge obtained by divine revelation and knowledge acquired through the senses, Bacon saw both theoretical and applied science as religious duties, the first for a greater knowledge of God through his creation, and the second for the practice of charity to one's fellows by improving their condition. This view of science as a religious function maintained its authority throughout the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries, and was an important factor in the public success of the scientific movement" (Norman Library).

Description
4to manuscript on vellum [23.5 x 17.1 cm], (7) ff., (4) ff. vellum blanks, including a full-page frontispiece illumination of Venetian Lion of St. Mark, each text page with foliate borders in gold ink, headings and initials in gold ink. Bound in contemporary Venetian morocco, elaborately gold tooled, gold block-printed foliate pastedowns. Edge wear and minor rubbing to spine and boards, manuscript loose in binding, oxidizing to edges of pastedowns. Marginal flaws to frontispiece illumination just touching border in places, a few small wormholes elsewhere, minor handsoiling. Finely illuminated, early 18th-century Venetian manuscript issued by the city's Magistrato alla Sanità (Health Department) as a license to certify the physician Antonio Damugliano (d. 1747) to practice medicine in the Venetian Republic using his propriety formula for topical salves (balsami) to treat "wounds and ulcers" (f. 3v-3r). The manuscript, ornately written out and decorated in gold and colored ink, opens with a full-page image of the winged Lion of San Marco in the Venetian landscape which serves as an official seal of the document's authenticity, and is inscribed by five Provveditori of the Magistrato and one notary who witnessed the certification. This pharmaceutical license represents a rare material survival of how Venice's Magistrato alla Sanità regulated the practice of medicine in its territories, even down to the level of controlling how individual practitioners could work with specific drugs. Damugliano presumably was required to keep the document on his person while plying his trade and to present it to the relevant authorities (or even to his patients) should his practice be called into question. The text of the document is written out twice – first in Italian and then in Latin – to suit the linguistic preferences of both the common Venetian citizen and the professional medical class. Damugliano, also known as Antimo Damulianos, is noted in the document (dated April 1717) as being a native of the Ionian island of Zante (or Zakynthos, at the time a Venetian colony) and having recently returned from Moscow, "where with good success and for a long time he practiced medicine with full official permission of many noteworthy people" (f. 2v). Damugliano is said to have studied medicine in Europe, likely in Italy, specializing in contagious diseases and eventually practicing in Asia Minor, Persia, India, China, Egypt, Constantinople, and Trieste, and to have been ordered by Emperor Charles VI (1685-1740) to treat the sick of a plague outbreak in Corinth (see L. Zoes, passim). Damugliano's name is also associated with a 1725 treatise entitled 'Medicina' which circulated in manuscript form in Venice and dealt with the use of salves, pills and stones to treat hydrophobia (see L. Zoes; we have been unable to locate a copy of this treatise). Damugliano is also recorded as having worked in Vienna, where an April 1746 news magazine comments that the "very famous" Damugliano, having traveled through numerous kingdoms, has arrived to demonstrate the curative powers of "the wondrous Chinese stone called Bezoar," which is effective against fevers, snake bites, fatigue, colic, etc. (Nachtrag, p. 64). The bezoar stone, an indigestible mass formed in the digestive tract of ruminants, was lauded from the middle ages as a universal antidote to poison. * R.

Description
Berlin: Königlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften, 1914. FIRST EDITION OFFPRINT. Original wrappers. Fine. FIRST EDITION, COMMERCIAL OFFPRINT ISSUE, of Einstein's important 1914 paper on the development of general relativity. "In summer 1914, Einstein felt that the new theory [general relativity] should be presented in a comprehensive review. He also felt that a mathematical derivation of the field equations that would determine them uniquely was still missing. "Both tasks are addressed in a long paper, presented in October 1914 to the Prussian Academy for publication in its Sitzungsberichte. It is entitled 'The formal foundation of the general theory of relativity'; here, for the first time, Einstein gave the new theory of relativity the epithet 'general' in lieu of the more cautious 'generalized' that he had used for the Entwurf" (Landmark Writings in Western Mathematics 1640-1940). "According to John Norton ('How Einstein Found His Field Equations'), this major review article was intended to convey the full content of the 1913 'Entwurf' theory: 'The principal novelty lies in the mathematical formulation of the theory. Drawing on earlier work with [Marcel] Grossman, Einstein formulated his gravitational field equations using a variation principle. Using this richer mathematical structure Einstein offered a proof purporting to demonstrate that his theory had the maximum covariance compatible with the hole argument; that is, covariance under 'justified' transformation between the 'adapted coordinate systems' he had introduced with Grossman'" (Calaprice, The Einstein Almanac). Offprint from: Sitzungsberichte der Königlich Preussischen Akademie der Wissenschaften, XLI, 19 November 1914, pp. 1030-1085. Berlin: Königlichen Akademie der Wissenschaften, 1914.

Paris: Déterville and Crochard, 1829. SECOND EDITION. With 20 full-page etched plates. Contemporary gilt green sheep-backed marbled boards. Ownership stamps of J.E. van der Dussen. A fine set. Second edition, enlarged, of this landmark in the history of zoology and comparative anatomy, the most comprehensive biological work since Linnaeus. “Cuvier’s valuable work represented the fruits of a lifetime’s study of living and fossil animals. In his day Cuvier exerted an enormous influence on science. He played a leading part in the development of the science of palaeontology and stimulated the study of comparative anatomy” (G&M). “It is in his classification of the animal kingdom into four main groups, Vertebrata, Mollusca, Articulata and Radiata, that he is so notably succeeded in giving a lead that has been followed by all his successors. . .Cuvier was the first to apply analyses and comparison to the entire animal kingdom. He also saw that this homogeneity in an individual should enable a competent naturalist to reconstruct a complete animal from any significant part of its anatomy” (PMM).

Description
Woodstock, Vermont: Elm Tree Press, 1916. FIRST EDITIONS. I: Frontispiece plus 24 plates. Vellum-backed boards, portrait of Horace on front cover. No. 349 of 500 copies printed; II: With frontispiece plus 22 illustrations. Vellum-backed boards; III: With frontispiece and 16 full-page plates. Cloth-backed paper boards, spine label. Three separate volumes. All three books are signed by Charles Dana, who has also crossed out his brother John Dana’s name on the title page. All three with the book plate of the Library of the Medical Society of King’s County; the first title also with the bookplate of Horace himself. Three works which introduce Horace to modern readers. Quintus Horatius Flaccus (65 BC-8 BC) was the leading Roman lyric poet during the time of Emperor Augustus (aka Octavian). Following a stint in Brutus’ army he achieved the status of Roman poet laureate. His fame rests chiefly on his books of lyrical Odes and verse Epistles, including the treatise Ars poetica, which sets down rules for the composition of poetry. The Odes and Epistles, frequently on themes of love, friendship, and philosophy significantly influenced Western poetry from the Renaissance through the 19th century. According to the rhetorician Quintilian “he can be lofty sometimes, yet he is also full of charm and grace, versatile in his figures, and felicitously daring in his choice of words.” Horace also crafted elegant hexameter verses (Satires and Epistles) and caustic iambic poetry (Epodes). The hexameters are amusing yet serious works, friendly in tone, leading the ancient satirist Persius to comment: “as his friend laughs, Horace slyly puts his finger on his every fault; once let in, he plays about the heartstrings.” The Odes describe the poet’s personal experiences and familiarize the reader with his everyday world; they depict the customs of a sophisticated and refined Roman society that is as fully civilized as the great Hellenistic Greek cities. He creates an intermediate space between the real world and the world of his imagination, populated with fauns, nymphs, and other divinities. Charles Loomis Dana (1852-1935) was a professor of psychology with a focus on mental disease at Cornell. He served as secretary to Spencer Baird, curator then Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution while earning his medical degree. Dana published over 250 articles; his textbook Nervous diseases for the use of students and practitioners of medicine (1892) went through ten editions. John Cotton Dana (1856-1929) was an American library and museum director who sought to make these cultural institutions relevant to the daily lives of citizens. As a public librarian for forty years Dana promoted the benefits of reading, pioneered direct access to shelved materials, and innovated specialized library services of all types. The Danas come from a Boston Brahmin background, arriving in Cambridge from England around 1630. Descendants include Richard Dana, author of Two years before the mast; Daniel Dana, president of Dartmouth; US senators and representatives, judges, military officers, football coaches, lawyers, clergymen and artists.

Lebanon: C.E. Lewis, 1887. Albumen photographs measuring 7 ¾ x 4 ½ on larger mounts. Some marks and scuffs to mounts, some writing to versos, images with excellent contrast and some light foxing, very good overall. Very Good. One of the most destructive fires in New Hampshire in the 19th century broke out in the Mead, Mason and Co. factory the morning of May 10, 1887, and destroyed eighty buildings in a space of ten acres, fully destroying the manufacturing industry in Lebanon. According to a contemporary article in the New York Times, six hundred people were left unemployed and sixty-five were left homeless. These five images by the Lebanon photographer C.E. Lewis capture the aftermath of the fire, and show the extent of the destruction. We find little record of the photographer, C.E. Lewis, but according to the records of the National Stereoscopic Association he lost his studio in the fire as well. We only find records of three of these images at the New Hampshire Historical Society.

New York City, 1972. 15 ½ x 22 ½ inches. Masking tape at top and bottom; some folding to upper left edge, some marginal chipping; fine contrast. Overall excellent.. Nanette Dembitz (1913–1989) graduated cum laude from the University of Michigan, then attended Columbia Law School where she edited the Columbia Law Review, graduating in 1938. She was unable to find work in private practice because of her gender; as her April 1989 obituary in The New York Times reports, she was told in an interview “that she might find a spot as a secretary, if she could type”. Dembitz instead went into public law and in 1967 was appointed to the Family Court by Mayor John Lindsay. This campaign poster is from Judge Dembitz’s 1972 run for New York State Court of Appeals. Dembitz successfully challenged Democratic appointees in the primary, but Republicans swept the general election.

Ditton March, 1836. Watson, Hewett Cottrell (1804-81). Autograph letter signed to John Latham Jr. 2 - 1/2 pages; addressee's name on verso of second leaf. Ditton March, February 15, 1836. 186 x 115 mm. Traces of sealing wax on verso of last leaf, but very good. From British botanist and evolutionary theorist Hewett C. Watson, author of Cybele Britannica (1860-72) and other works on British plants, and a recognized authority on British plant species and their distribution. He introduced the system of biological vice-counties, a geographical division of the British Isles used by botanists to this day for biological recording and other scientific data-gathering. Watson supported the concept of species transmutation and corresponded with Darwin on the subject; in the Origin of Species Darwin acknowledged Watson several times as an important contributor of scientific information (see e.g. pages 48 and 53 of the 1859 edition of the Origin). On publication of the Origin, Watson was one of the first to write to Darwin congratulating him on his achievement (see the Darwin Correspondence Project, letter 2540, dated 21 November [1859]). Watson's letter reads in part as follows: "Enclosed you will find some 80 or 100 of your botl. desiderata. Some few more, in all probability, I could supply if time allowed, but your letter came to hand only this day, & tomorrow I have occasion to be in town, & propose taking them in. At a future day, I may hope to send a few others. "The British Aspidiums [a species of fern], as you say, are very troublesome to make out, & as to As. [?acuminatum] I really know it not with any certainty. The snowdrops here, in gardens, are only just coming into bloom; primroses the same, nor have I seen a hedge specimen in flower. The sharp frosts of Dec. & Jan. have made them about a month later this year . . ." Watson's correspondent was most likely either British physician John Latham (1761-1843), who served as president of the Royal College of Physicians and updated their pharmacopeia; or his son John (1787-1853), a magistrate and poet. The senior Latham's father was also named John, so both men could equally be called John Latham Jr. .

The Maryland ratifying convention suggests some amendments along with their approval of the Constitution. ExcerptsFrom page 3:""From the MARYLAND GAZETTE, or April 29, 1788. The CONVENTION of this state, on Saturday last, determined to ratify the proposed plan of Federal Government. -YEAS 63, NAYS 11-And then appointed a committee of thirteen members to consider and report amendments to be recommended to the people. -The following amendments were proposed by a member, and referred to the committee who are now sitting-And it is hoped that the great and essential rights of the people will be declared and secured.- PROPOSED AMENDMENTS...Wherefore, whenever the ends of Government are perverted, and public liberty manifestedly endangered, and all other means of redress are ineffectual, the people may, and of right ought, to object to reform the old, or establish a new Government-that the doctrine of nonresistance against arbitrary power and oppression is absurd, slavish, and destructive of the good and happiness of mankind.... All imposts and duties laid by Congress, shall be placed to the credit of the state in which the same be collected.... That there shall be no national religion established by law; but that all persons be equally entitled to protection in their religious liberty.... That the Supreme Federal Courts shall not admit to fictions to extend its jurisdiction; nor shall citizens of the same state, having controversies with each other, be suffered to make collusive assignments of their rights, to the citizens of another state, for the purpose of defeating the jurisdiction of the State Courts; nor shall any matter, or question already determined in the State Courts, be revived or agitated in the Federal Courts.... That Congress have no power to lay a Poll-Tax. That the people have a right to freedom of speech, of writing and publishing their sentiments, and therefore that the freedom of the PRESS ought not to be restrained, and the printing presses ought to be free to examine the proceedings of Government, and the conduct of its officers.""From page 2: Protesting the Slave Trade by Boycotting West Indian Produce""A CAUTION.WHEREAS, in the year 1787, some vessels were fitted out at the port of Philadelphia, for the iniquitous purpose of stealing the inhabitants of Africa, from all the endearments of domestic life; one of which vessels has succeeded in obtaining a number of poor blacks, and has taken the to a port in the West Indies, where they are under the iron hand of oppression. From this shameful traffic, this horrid source, the proprietors of the vessel have purchased some West India produce, which, after landing at Wilmington, they have brought up to this city, and offered for sale. It is a grateful circumstance to the supporters of the common rights of mankind, that the virtuous inhabitants of the city, reprobate the horrid idea.-A correspondent hopes, that the citizens will further testify their disapprobation of the practice by turning with indignation from the purchase of any property, thus basely procured by men so lost to the common feelings of humanity; notwithstanding the patriotic convention, at which Washington presided, have declared that this abominable traffic shall be continued for TWENTY years by the people of America.From page 1:An advertisement with engraving for a ""Line of Stages"" between Philadelphia and New York, started by four partners who split off from an established stage line and promising better service. From page 4:An advertisement for another, different ""New Line of Stages."" And a report on the creation of a Philadelphia committee for the relief of the nearly 100 Americans captured by Algerian corsairs and Barbary pirates.

Description
sixteen letters, 51 pages, inscribed in ink and pencil, primarily dated 1902, but includes one letter dated 1894 from Knut Lindblom to his brother Axel, several letters in Swedish, some minor wear and soiling, else in good legible condition. Axel Lindblom, a Swedish immigrant to America writes to his brother and fellow immigrant Knut, describing his life as a sailor, first aboard the U.S.S. Wabash and then the Decatur. He also discusses family life, and writing to his mother and sister who were still back in the "old country." Sample Quotes: "New London, Sept. 8th [1902] on board U.S.S. Decatur Dear Brother, … You want me to tell you some thing about terms and things on board a sea going ship. Well, this torpedo boats are altogether different from the "white ships". In this boats you can do almost any dam thing you please. You get up at seven o'clock in the morning get your breakfast at 7 30 at eight o'clock sweep down deck, take a look all over and see that everything are all right and that is about all you have to do if you are not going in or out a harbor. No different if you are in harbor or if you are to sea that never any more work to do. The only work in the ship I hate is to coal ship. You have to see this "Chinas shoe" after two hours under a coal can about 2-3 inches coal dust all over and 5-6 foot coal on deck After one of this coalings it generaly take two to three hours to clean up the ship and you self not counting one or two hours to wash you cloths. …" "U.S.T.B.D. Decatur, Norfolk, VA Oct. 12, 1902 Dear brother! … Well brother we are going to leave Norfolk for West India the 15th of this month. The first place we are going are Port Royal S.C. where we are going to stay 5 days, the second place are Key West, stay two days, next place are San Juan West India and after that we are going to Cuba and meet the heavy fleet and go all round West India islands…" "U.S.S. Decatur San Yuan Porto Rico W. I. Nov 23, 1902 Dear brother! … Now a few words about myself. After we left Key West we have been in a dozen different places in the West Indie islands stoping at most a day in each place. One of the plases we been is Matineque (I don't know if I spell it right) but you know, the place wher the big volcanic aryption (?) destroyed the whol city. All you can see of the town is a big pile of ashes a dead tree or palm that is nothing to me, but at the same time it is very intresant when you know that it ones was a town under your feet. In a few days we are going to South America and stay with the south atlantic fleet for a week or so and after that return to West India again …" "U.S.S. Decatur Culebra Island Dec. 18, 1902 Dear brother! … As you properly have seen in the papers the guvernement are using 500 sailors from different ships to dig a canal through a narrow strip of land in Culebra island. Well, the 25 of Nov. I was send to dig too and … I digged and digged from 8 in the morning till noon then I got a new "job". During dinner hour that day a steamlaunch sunk outside the canal in 16 foot water and of course we had to get them up one way or another…"

Description
small quarto, two pages, in very good, clean and legible condition. "My dear Commodore, I had this pleasure at Springfield, Illinois in March last, since which I have not the pleasure of a reply from you. I ordered a few shell sent to your address, to be used in the guns you had on hand that were rifled at Pittsburg, whether they were rifled to make good shooting or bad I had no means of knowing. Enclosed I take the liberty of handing you an article from the National Intelligencer of this city containing reports, official and otherwise, of the guns used in the reduction of Fort Pulaski. I am very anxious to furnish you a few of the James Guns and projectiles, that will throw 100 lbs shot and shell, please to address me at No 160 Fulton Street, New York and oblige. In extending to you my most cordial congratulations upon your resent successes, allow me to assure you that the people of the north fully appreciate your endeavors in behalf of our country, and will most gratefully hold you in remembrance. … C. T. James" James was an expert in textile machinery, construction, an advocate of steam power for cotton mills, U.S. senator, Democrat, from Rhode Island, 1851-1857. After his retirement from the Senate he devoted himself to the improvement of firearms. James developed a family of early rifled projectiles and a rifling system for artillery that saw use by the Union Army in the American Civil War. He perfected a rifled cannon, a cylindrical bullet with a conical head, and an explosive projectile. The weapon most correctly called a James rifle is a 3.8 in (97 mm) weapon commonly called a 14-pounder James rifle, usually made of bronze; this was the only gun designed entirely by James that saw extensive service. Except for the material, it closely resembles the wrought iron 3-inch Ordnance rifle that saw more widespread use. His rifling system was used to convert pre-war smoothbore M1841 6-pounder field guns,32 -pounder, 42-pounder, and other weapons to rifles firing his projectiles; in some Civil War-era documents these are also called "James rifles". Large-caliber guns with his rifling system and projectiles, along with Parrott rifles, were used in the breaching of Fort Pulaski, near the mouth of the Savannah River, in Georgia, in April 1862; this was probably James' most significant contribution to the war. After the war, the rapid reduction of Fort Pulaski was used to justify stopping work on masonry forts and led to a brief period of new construction of earthwork forts. On October 16, 1862, during the demonstration of a projectile at Sag Harbor, Long Island, New York, a worker attempted to remove a cap from a shell. It exploded, killing the man and mortally wounding James, who died the next day. Dictionary of American Biography, vol. v, pp., 572-573

Description
1962. [African American] [Comics] Negro Americans: The Early Years (Classics Illustrated No. 169). New York: Gilberton Company, Inc., 1962. Staplebound with color-illustrated wrappers. A standalone issue of Classics Illustrated, devoted entirely to the contributions of Black Americans from the colonial period through the 20th century. Published in 1962 during the height of the Civil Rights Movement, this comic-format educational work-unusual in the Classics Illustrated series for focusing on real historical figures rather than literary fiction-was part of a broader, mid-century effort to integrate African American history into mainstream curricula. As the cover proclaims, the issue was intended to spotlight "the early years" of Black American achievement, and in doing so, it offers one of the earliest accessible visual histories of Black leaders for a youth audience. Historical figures covered in this issue include Crispus Attucks (the first American killed in the Revolutionary War), Benjamin Banneker (mathematician and surveyor of Washington, D.C.), James Beckwourth (a pioneering scout of the American West), Harriet Tubman, Frederick Douglass, Daniel Hale Williams (the first successful heart surgeon), Booker T. Washington (educator and founder of Tuskegee Institute), George Washington Carver (agricultural scientist), and Matthew Henson (co-discoverer of the North Pole). The comic also addresses Black contributions to the American Revolutionary War and Civil War, with attention to the roles of enslaved people, Black regiments, and wartime espionage. Notably, the "Inventors" section highlights Elijah McCoy (lubrication systems), Garrett Morgan (gas mask and traffic light), and Granville T. Woods (rail signaling), foregrounding underacknowledged Black innovation in American industrial history. Illustrated in full color throughout, with strong sequential art emphasizing dignity, resilience, and ingenuity. Though the terminology ("Negro Americans") reflects mid-century nomenclature, the tone is respectful and didactic, aimed at broad public education. These visual histories played an important role in the representation of African American figures in postwar American youth culture.Light wear and creasing consistent with age and small pen marks to cover, but internally clean and complete. A remarkable and visually compelling early effort to narrate African American history to a popular audience.

Description
1914. A rare 1914 yearbook from Angola High School in northern Indiana, offering a textured view of small-town academic life in the pre-WWI Midwest. First Edition with rich photographic documentation, the volume captures the community's scholastic, athletic, and social priorities during a transformative period in American secondary education. The inclusion of student humor, poems, and faculty write-ups gives insight into local character and generational voices on the eve of national and global upheaval. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white halftone photographs. 4to (approx. 11 x 8.5 in.). Photographic spreads feature student portraits, athletic teams, musical ensembles, and extracurricular groups, complemented by editorials and illustrated sections reflecting the values and aspirations of the senior class. These early yearbooks were not only keepsakes but civic documents, showing the evolution of youth culture and education before the rise of national media standardization. The presentation reflects the pride of a growing Midwestern town and the increasingly formalized role of high schools in shaping public identity. A visually engaging and historically resonant document from the dawn of modern American adolescence, capturing Indiana educational and community life with period charm and authenticity.General light edgewear and Very good.
