Title: Handwritten Manuscript - Partial Draft from 1955 Speech
Author: KENNEDY, John F. (1917 - 1963)
Seller: Argosy Book Store (United States)
Description: framed. One page handwritten manuscript from John F. Kennedy in 1955 while senator from Massachusetts. Unfortunately not autographed but clearly written in JFK's hand. The document appears to be a partial draft for the speech Kennedy delivered October 27, 1955 at the Sigma Delta Chi Journalism Fraternity dinner in Boston. The paragraph from the official transcript of the speech is extremely close to the text in the manuscript. In the speech, Kennedy was quoting MA senator George Frisbie Hoar. The pre-presidential address focused heavily on the intersection of politics, civic leadership and the media. The JFK Library notes that the 1955 speech later fed into material used in Profiles in Courage. Framed next to a black and white portrait image of Kennedy. John Fitzgerald Kennedy, also known as JFK, was the 35th president of the United States, serving from 1961 until his assassination in 1963. He was the youngest person elected president, at 43 years. Kennedy served at the height of the Cold War, and the majority of his foreign policy concerned relations with the Soviet Union and Cuba. A member of the Democratic Party, Kennedy represented Massachusetts in both houses of the United States Congress before his presidency.

JOHN MARIE KEATING (1852-1893) received his M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1873. He then served residencies at Pennsylvania Hospital and Philadelphia Hospital where he was later visiting physician. He held the post of gynecologist at St. Joseph's Hospital and St. Agnes' Hospital, lectured on the disease of children at the University of Pennsylvania. He was president of the American Pediatric Society. "The work, however, by which he was particularly known to the medical profession on both sides of the Atlantic is the 'Cyclopedia of the Diseases of Children,' which met with universal approbation because of the excellence of the various articles, written by leading specialists in this country, Canada, and England. Its sale was enormous, and it is to-day the most advanced and complete work upon this subject in the English language, and is destined for years to come to represent pediatrics as it existed in this decade."-- Judson Daland (author) In Memoriam: JOHN M. KEATING, M.D., LL.D. International Clinics, Philadelphia, 1894. DESCRIPTION OF KEATING'S CYCLOPEDIA BY ISAAC ABT IN HIS OWN Pediatrics by Various Authors, 1923: "Keating's 'Cyclopedia' was published in 1889 in four volumes. An array of the most distinguished pediatric teachers and thinkers in America contributed to this work. A. Jacobi wrote the introduction, James Finlayson, of Glasgow, made a valuable contribution on diagnosis, Thomas M. Rotch, of Boston, wrote the chapter on infant feeding, W. B. Cheadle, of London, discussed rheumatism and acute and chronic endocarditis, Thomas Barlow described rickets and scurvy, William Osler contributed the chapter on congenital heart affections, L. Emmett Holt discussed diarrheal disorders, acute and chronic, and J. P. Crozer Griffith described diseases of the blood and the blood-making apparatus. The other distinguished men who wrote for this book typify the most advanced thought on their special subjects. The volumes had an important and stimulating influence on English-speaking physicians, and served to call attention to the entire field of pediatrics by presenting knowledge in a readily accessible form. The work awakened a keen interest in the pathology of childhood and Keating's treatise was, for many years, the standard reference book for the specialist in pediatrics as well as for the general practitioner in medicine."
