Langsdorf was a skilled mathematician who taught at Heidelberg. The book offered here is primarily and engineering book dedicated to the solution of practical problems encountered in large engineering projects. The emphasis is on machinery, power transmission systems, and buildings. Langsdorf went out of his way to emphasize the application of theory to practical results. Each of the projects and problems scrutinized in the text is the result of the application of theory rather than simply what worked. The entry in ADB (XVII, p. 691) cites this as a pioneering work.

Description
Philadelphia: MacRae-Smith, 1942. Very Good/Very Good. Philadelphia: MacRae-Smith, 1942. First Edition. Octavo (21.3 cm); viii,[9]-367pp. Full color illustrated dust jacket with $2.50 price intact. Boards full bound in a light tan, thick-weave cloth and a green stamped image on front cover; spine includes title, author, and publisher in stamped green as well. Dust cover is slightly discolored at the edges and on the back cover and has some loss to the head of the dust cover's spine. Boards only have some slight discoloration at the head and tail of the spine. Endsheets darkened and the back inside cover has a mark at the top, but otherwise covers and all pages are unblemished. Dee Brown's first novel is based on the life and times of Davy Crockett and follows his story, ending of course with his fate at the Alamo. The stamped image on the front board is supposedly of Davy Crockett and Margaret Elder, his love interest in the tale. The back dust cover flap includes a plea to send the book to a soldier who "needs good reading" once you're finished and how to get it to them, as they might enjoy the story of another American soldier.

Description
Yalesville, Connecticut, 1860. This three-page letter is datelined “Yalesville, August.” It was written in a female hand by “N.M.G.” and the content also suggests the writer was a young woman. It is enclosed in an enveloped franked with a 3-cent Washington stamp that bears a circular Wallingford, Connecticut post mark dated August 9. This stamp’s use was ubiquitous during the Civil War, between 1861 and 1865. In nice shape. The letter reads in part: “Ant Min has gone to West Haven to stay 4 days. Narrissa Dixon is staying with me last night all the boys and girls came down and we had quite a little party had a bully time you know what that is. “Mary Dixon has gone to Mass, so poor George may never see her again she has gone with James to work in the shop in Shelbern (Shelburne) Falls. . .. “I have got some bully poetry to show you when you come I come home it is not fit for a hog to read but never mind we like poetry . . . “Have you got work in the shop now I hired out to Isaac Geralds in the spoon shop . . . “You ask me if I had a good time sleeping with Ollie’s shirt – I finely did not sleep with it for it would be nothing but an aggravation, don’t you think so, I had rather sleep with him a darn sight for he is as gentle and harmless as a lamb I know he is by sad experience he is purity in my eye you know what that is well I guess I have written enough of this foolish nonsense & will tell you the rest when I come. . .. “I went out to Bethany after berries [with] Ellen Geralds, and Mrs J. & Lenay Allen and Ella Andres Alic A & Ollie and Topsy Garrie we had a first rate time. . .. “I have a good will to say s—t for it has commence to rain and I want to go off hooking apples to night. . .. I will send some when I hook them and Ollie’s a good boy he bringed me his pocketful of peaches last night don’t you wish you was me.”. It’s possible that N.M.G. might have been a young man, but that would only serve to make a loving, but unconsummated relationship with Ollie more interesting. Regardless, this letter provides a fascinating description of the social life of young New Englanders who could not have cared less about the Civil War that was tearing the country apart.
