Description
Plymouth, Massachusetts, 1810. Unbound. Very good. This one-page letter measuring 7½” x 12½” was sent from Plymouth, Massachusetts by Major General Nathaniel Goodwin, the Commanding General of the 5th Massachusetts Militia Division, to Brigadier General Lincoln, one of his brigade commanders on 22 August 1810. It bears no postal markings and was likely courier-carried as docketing indicates Lincoln received it the same day. It is in nice shape with a tiny bit of insect predation. In this letter Goodwin expresses displeasure that a member of Lincoln’s brigade had challenged the procedures and results of a company’s officer election that Goodwin had already forwarded as approved. “Col. Brown of your Brigade, made a return . . . of Officers elected . . . which I forwarded to the Adjt. General for Commissions. . .. The Col. Now writes me his Election is disputed as being illegal for a number of reasons, among which is that the Company was not all warned, &c. . .. I will write to the Adjt. General, to stop the Commissions until enquiry is made. . .. Make the enquiry & forward me a statement. If necessary, I will order a Court of Inquiry. . .. “Really, the Col. Ought to have obtained your signature to the Election return before it was forwarded. . .. If you are convinced the company was not warned according to Law, or that they did not proceed regularly, you will order a new Election . . . not ordering the same field officer to preside. Care should be taken that the Company be paraded & not left & then join again, that there may be a fair election. It is not worth while to put people to so much trouble to come to Plymouth, when you can decide” . Goodwin was working for his merchant father in Plymouth, Massachusetts, when the Revolutionary War broke out. He entered the service and was appointed as a major in the Massachusetts Militia. When the British were defeated at Saratoga, Goodwin was placed in charge of the prisoners at Somerville and was presented with Burgoyne’s sword. He also served in the 1778 expedition to Rhode Island under Major General John Sullivan and participated in the inconclusive Battle of Quaker Hill which was the first attempt of war to coordinate American and French military action against the British. He was later promoted to Major General, a rank he held for the remainder of his life. In addition to his militia service, Goodwin represented the town of Plymouth in the General Court. He died in 1819 at the age of 70. Although it might strike some as strange today, Article I, Section 8, Clause 16, of the U. S. Constitution assigns the right to appoint officers of the militia (and later the National Guard), and at various times, many states have done this through unit elections. (For more information about Goodwin, see Kingman’s Epitaphs from Burial Hill and various online genealogical and military websites.) .

Description
Braunschweig:: Friedrich Vieweg und Sohn, 1863., 1863. 2 vols. 8vo. ix, [1], 617, [1]; [iv], [619-621], 622-1183, [1] pp. 395 figures, 1 folding color plate (facing p. 876), bibliography, index. Early black half calf over marbled boards; worn, hinges cracked (holding at cords). "Cancelled" bookplates of Dr. Atkinson, Royal Military College, title-page rubber stamps of Finbury Technical College. Good. Early edition of Wiedemann's treatise on galvanism and electromagnetism, complete in two volumes. The Electrician states that the first edition appeared in two volumes in 1863, followed in 1871 by a second edition in three volumes, and in 1885 a third edition "enlarged to five volumes, and with the altered title, 'Die Lehre der Elektricitat'" ("Obituary. Gustav Heinrich Wiedemann," p. 800). However, at least one volume was first published in 1861, and Nichols cryptically puts the date of the first from 1860-1863: "Wiedemann is best known, perhaps, as the author of the compendious treatise on electricity which first appeared in two volumes under the title Die Lehre von Galvanismus (Brunswick, 1860 to 1863) It was subsequently rewritten and greatly enlarged as the growth of the subject of electricity demanded and was re-issued under a new name (Die Lehre von der Elektricitat), in 1882. Still another edition, further revised and largely rewritten with the cooperation of the author's son, Professor E. Wiedemann of Erlangen, was in progress, and two volumes had appeared, at the time of the father's death" (Nichols, p. 57). Wiedemann is perhaps best remembered "as author of his great work, 'Die Lehre von der Elektricitat," a treatise that is encyclopedic in character, containing everything of importance on the subject of electricity, the use of electricity in the arts alone being expected" ("In Memoriam. Dr. Gustav Heinrich Wiedemann," p. 286). PROVENANCE: Edmund Atkinson (1831-1900) was a lecturer on chemistry and physics first at Cheltenham College and later at the Royal Military College, Sandhurst, before becoming Professor of Experimental Science at Staff College. He was elected a fellow of the Chemical Society in 1859, and was one of the founders of the Physical Society. "Dr. Atkinson's services to science by the translation of numerous French and German works, among which we may specially mention Ganot's 'Physics,' Helmholtz's 'Popular Lectures,' Dubois's 'Magnetic Circuit,' and Mascart and Joubert's 'Electricity and Magnetism,' are well-known. For many years, too, he contributed to the Philosophical Magazine periodical reports on chemical papers published in France and Germany. Of late years, however, these have been superseded by the much fuller and more systematic Abstracts published by the Chemical Society" ("Obituary Notices. Edmund Atkinson," pp. 887-889).
