Description
Philadelphia: Lee & Walker, 722 Chestnut St, 1861. Ephemera no binding. Very good. [SHEET MUSIC] [CIVIL WAR] [HISTORY]. Folio (13 ¼" x 10 ¼"); 5pp; pictorial chromolithograph of Col. Ellsworth standing on a flag to front wrapper, sewn binding; title page then numbered pages 3-5 printed with musical score for piano with words; light offsetting of ink, scattered foxing on wrapper; very good minus. OCLC lists 19 library holdings, 6 international, although it is not clear if all hold the pictorial wrapper version. Elmer Ephraim Ellsworth (1837-1861) was a law clerk for Abraham Lincoln in Illinois, a United States Army Officer, and the first officer casualty of the Union during the American Civil War. The regiment he commanded, the 11th New York Volunteer Infantry, nicknamed the "Fire Zouaves," were known for their uniforms inspired by the French colonial troops in Algeria. Ellsworth was killed in Alexandria, Virginia removing the large Confederate flag raised over a tavern. His body lay in honor in the White House on the order of his friend, President Lincoln. "Remember Ellsworth" became a rallying political cry and his regiment became known as the "Ellsworth Avengers." The music is dedicated to Francis E Brownell, the soldier who killed Ellsworth's attacker. The words and music to this patriotic remembrance hymn were penned by prolific American songwriter Septimus Winner (1827-1902). Among his popular songs still remembered today are "Listen to the Mockingbird" and the children's songs, "Oh Where Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone" and "Ten Little Injuns." He wrote and published the hymn "Whispering Hope" under his pseudonym Alice Hawthorne, a nod to his mother's relation to author Nathaniel Hawthorne.

Description
Lucerne: Verlag Hans Erni-Stiftung, 1983. First edition. SIGNED PRESENTATION COPY OF NOBELIST'S ARTISTIC SCIENTIFIC BOOK INSCRIBED TO COLLEAGUE. 9 1/2 inches tall hardcover, metallic paper-covered boards, image of dove on cover, inscribed and signed on front free endpaper, "Herzlich/ fur Gunther Stent/ Werner Arber, Dez 1983." 53 pp, illustrations. Very good in custom archival mylar cover. WERNER ARBER (born 1929) is a Swiss microbiologist and geneticist. Along with American researchers Hamilton Smith and Daniel Nathans, Werner Arber shared the 1978 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for the discovery of restriction endonucleases. Their work would lead to the development of recombinant DNA technology. Arber received his doctorate in 1958 from the University of Geneva. He then worked at the University of Southern California in phage genetics with Gio Bertani after which accepted an offer to return to Geneva at the beginning of 1960. Arber notes that it was in 1963, while he was a researcher in Gunther Stent's Berkeley lab, when experiments produced the first evidence that modification in E. coli B and K is brought about by nucleotide methylation. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1984. PROVENANCE: GUNTHER SIEGMUND STENT (1924 – 2008) was a graduate professor of molecular biology at the University of California, Berkeley. An early bacteriophage biologist, he was known also for his studies on the metabolism of bacteria and neurobiology of leeches, and for his writing on the history and philosophy of biology. In 1949, Stent joined the so-called phage group that coalesced around Max Delbrück at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. This was the incubator for many of the fundamental ideas of the newly emerging science of molecular biology. Informal discussions among these workers on the progress of their research led to a book by Stent, entitled Molecular Biology of Bacterial Viruses (dedicated to Delbrück), which was an account of the state of accomplishments in the field up to 1963.
