Wawra, a ship's surgeon, accompanied Maximilian I on his expedition to Brazil which spanned from 1859 to 1860. Franz Maly, a botanist and the Royal Gardener, was charged with collecting plants, a good number of which were previously unrecorded. The Austrian Habsburg Maximilian, with the instigation of Napoleon III, was in 1864 made the Emperor of Mexico but was deposed and executed two years later. Condition: corners bumped, and a bit chewed in appearance. Joints rubbed, slight looseness. Spine extremities with chipping and roughness. Scattered light foxing, a few minor edge chips, but overall reads as a clean copy. The cloth box has brass snap clasps and extra thick "walled" sides. It is lined within with felt.

Condition: Very Good. Lacking the original wraps. Mild browning and circular stains at fore edge of text.
Description: Washington: J. & G. S. Gideon, 1845. Disbound. Octavo. 24 pages. Very Good. Lacking the original wraps. Mild browning and circular stains at fore edge of text.. Wood engravings. Vail was an engineer and inventor who collaborated with Samuel B. Morse in the development and practical application of the telegraph. Some have argued it was actually Vail who invented the telegraphic alphabet named after Morse, but Vail seems to put that to rest in this pamphlet, to wit: "This conventional alphabet was originated on board the packet Sully, by Prof. Morse..." (p. 23).<br /> <br /> Illustrated with 14 wood engravings showing the various components of the telegraphic system. Also includes one of the earliest printings of the 1844 revision of the telegraphic alphabet which, under the name "American Morse," became standard in the United States and Canada. <br /> <br /> SABIN 98292; HOWES V5.
