‎VOLNEY FOWLER‎

‎1908 - 1916 ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT JOURNAL KEPT BY A LAND SURVEYOR DETAILING HIS LIFE HIS WORK AND THE TRAGIC AND SUDDEN DEATH OF HIS WIFE IN THE DEEP SOUTH‎

‎NATCHEZ MISSISSIPPI MI OSCEOLA ARKANSAS AK. Good. 1908. On offer is a super original diary and manuscript relic of a Mississippi man named Volney Fowler consisting of entries for the years 1908 1909 and 1916. Fowler seems to be an Surveyor working with a small company in Natchez Mississippi offering researchers and historians an interesting perspective of life in the Deep South. Throughout the diary and throughout all years of writing Fowler writes of receiving calls from many different people in town to survey various plots of land as well as reports from his boss �Forest� and a coworker and brother �Orrick� For example: �April 6 1909. While at breakfast at Osceola a phone message came from Foresh for me to return home immediately to survey ____ place for Farrar. So when cars came at Lake Bruen I returned home.I did not wish to leave Osceola on Tuesday and would not have come away if Farrar had not got Mr. Ratcliffe to phone me to come to survey.� In between reports of his work in Natchez Fowler writes of day-to-day occurrences and activities such as watching movies he is especially moved by �Birth of a Nation� by D.W. Griffith vacationing in Osceola Arkansas. As well Fowler is very interested in astrology and the diary is filled with many instances of astrological movements in the sky: �Jupiter enters Leo. Mars enters Leo.�; �Venus enters Gemini�; �Venus conj. with moon in Cancer.� In addition the verso and recto of the cover are filled with Fowler�s writing on the stars and astrological movements in the year 1908. �Precession of equinoxes has caused vernal equinox to leave Aries and become Pisces.�; �Mars enters Leo 13 Sept.�; �Mercury in Taurus Aug. 20th in Cancer.�; At the end of 1909 Fowler writes of the long sickness and death of wife: �Dr. Chamberlain is treating my wife for Angina Pectoris - which is inflammation of the chest.wife rested Tolerably last night. We think she is a trifle better at Sunrise.Dr. Beekman called 8 1/2 clock A.M. About 9 1/2 clock AM it began to appear that end was a matter of short time. Mrs. Baker came and was helpful and so Mr.s. Stamply. About 12 1/2 Clock Winnie began to show that she knew she was losing her best friend - Ida and children arrived after dark.Mamma his wife died at Eleven clock this night.My wife�s funeral took place this evening at 4 clock. Our boys brought a lot yesterday in city cemetery.� His entries for the year 1909 end after the death of his wife. The book is about 390 pages of which there is writing in 370 or so. The cover is in fair shape. The front cover is almost wholly detached. The spine and front cover show discoloration tears and signs of wear and age. The pages and writing are still in good shape. Fowler�s handwriting is easy to read even when slightly faded or written in pencil. There are only a few entries in 1916 at the very beginning of the diary. They stop after the middle of the month in January. The entries for 1909 end after the death of Fowler�s wife while the entries for 1908 continue throughout the year. This diary is a very interesting look into the life of a deep south surveyor living through the ups and downs of life. Excerpts of text: �January 21 1908. I surveyed 2 lots for Jeter and dix for Hall-Fletcher women - all on Holden Lane - Gus Peale drove one home after dark.�; �August 14 1908. Race riot in Springfield Ill.�; �December 30 1908. Mississippi whiskey dealing stops to-night. Orrick setn map and wrote Mrs. Austin Smith. Orrick says Sleihenrock ____ him to share his office with him - but O has too good an office in ___ to quit it. Sleihenrock thinks Orrick be reelected City Engineer next Monday�; �January 30 1909.

He found field notes in Fayette which old C. W. Babbitt failed to find. He surveyed to ____ out land he been claiming. Bt. dime tobacco Mon morn. Lasted this eve. One week less two a day.�; �February 8th 1909. I took my map copied for Lamar Lamberk to him and he said mine was a wonderfully good copy. Told him I charge $2.50 which he said he would collect from the Lawyer. Orrick staying out some troubles in his Clark & Miller Survey.I had a letter in my pocket then from Fulton Staling that chase was not with us.I told him I thought of writing a history of Adams Troop.

‎VOLNEY Constantin Francois de ChassebAuf comte de 1757 1820.‎

‎Voyage en Syrie et en Egypte pendant les annees 1783 84 et 85. Quatrieme Edition. 2 volumes‎

‎Paris:: Courcier 1807. 1807. 2 volumes. 8vo. 6 x 487 1; iv 492 pp. Half-titles 5 folding engraved plates including detailed engravings of the Sphinx and the Pyramids of Giza 3 folding maps incl. frontis. a folding map of Egypt p. 288 Syria II p. 400 Turkey ads in front & rear. Original full mottled calf gilt spine red leather spine labels; joints rubbed but strong. Ownership Signature of Benjamin B. Wood. Very good. Fourth edition first issued in 1787 here printed with additional plates. This is a key source for the study of Ottoman Egypt Syria and modern day Lebanon sometimes called the Levant. Volney describes the geography of the region the climate its history cultures the militia economy and trade diseases the monuments natural history politics people law religions farming and agriculture craftsmen merchants commerce arts sciences and character of the inhabitants. All this is set within the presence of the years just prior to the outbreak of the French Revolution which started in 1789. "In 1783 Volney gave up the thought of following any particular profession and set out for the East. He arrived at Cairo ostensibly on a scientific mission although many there regarded him as a spy he was later accused of spying on America by John Adams' administration. In order to master Arabic he shut himself away in a convent for eight months then journeyed to the pyramids at Giza and moved to Suez where he lived with the Bedouin. While there he entertained the notion of constructing a canal to link the Mediterranean with the Red Sea. Sailing from Alexandria in September 1783 he visited Syria and the Lebanon concluding his journey at Acre =Akko in 1785. After a brief halt at Alexandria he returned to France where his documents turned out to be of enormous value in the planning of Napoleon's campaign to Egypt. Volney however persistently opposed such intervention despite producing a pamphlet which uncannily anticipated French involvement in the region." – Encyclopedia of Exploration to 1800 V61. / "The French author and traveller Constantin-Francois de Chasseboeuf 1757–1820 adopted the pen name Volney which combined the name of Voltaire and Ferney where the great philosopher lived. A friend of Thomas Jefferson and other Enlightenment figures Volney used an inheritance to further his education by travelling to Ottoman Egypt and the historical region of Syria visiting areas of present-day Lebanon and Israel. He chose these lands as he believed he would gain political and philosophical insights from their ancient heritage. Very little had been written in the West about these areas before he published this two-volume account in 1787. It enjoyed great popularity and even accompanied Darwin aboard the Beagle on his own voyage of discovery decades later. Reissued here is the revised and corrected French second edition which also appeared in 1787. The volumes explore geography history ethnic divisions religious beliefs commerce politics and customs." – Cambridge University Press 2014. / De Volney was a French philosopher and historian and a member of the Estates-General during the French Revolution. Alexander Cook who believes that Volney's influence is as a "key thinker" though often forgotten in today's sense of that history examines this books as a specimen of geo-politics of both French anti-imperialist thought and French imperial practice in North Africa and the Levant where France was seeking to expand its global influence and power during the following decades. Cook is at Australian National University School of History received his PhD from University of Cambridge. CONTENTS: Volume 1: Preface; - Part I. Etat physique de l'Egypte: - 1.

‎VOLNEY CONSTANTIN FRANCOIS CHASSEBŒUF COMTE DE‎

‎TRAVELS THROUGH SYRIA AND EGYPT IN THE YEARS 1783 1784 AND 1785‎

‎London: Printed for G. G. J. and J. Robinson 1788. Second Edition in English. 216 x 137 mm. 8 1/2 x 5 3/8". Two volumes. Second Edition in English. VERY FINE CONTEMPORARY FLAMED CALF flat spines ruled in gilt red morocco label on each spine. Three engraved folding plates views and plan and two engraved folding maps. Front pastedowns with the armorial bookplate of Penelope Vaughn. Cox I 235 citing French edition of 1787; Lowndes IV 2790; Graesse VI 389 both citing English edition of 1787. A handful of paper flaws one causing a short tear without loss just into text a half dozen leaves with light marginal soiling apparently incurred in the print shop top inch of front joint of second volume slightly cracked two bottom corners a bit bumped and rubbed but A VERY FINE COPY INSIDE AND OUT the bindings lustrous and scarcely worn the text bright and clean and the plates all remarkably well preserved. The author's first book this item is called by Chambers "one of the most exact and valuable works of its kind ever published" Cox quoting Chambers' "Cyclopaedia: or an Universal Dictionary of Arts and Sciences". The Blackmer catalogue says that "Volney's popular and highly-regarded work was the result of three years' travels a good deal of which time was spent in Cairo. His account has never really been surpassed. Volney went to great lengths in preparation which included a year devoted to exercise and self-deprivation and three months learning the language required in a convent in the mountains of Lebanon." Volney 1757-1820 was a learned man a frequent traveller and an important governmental official who was expelled from America as a suspected spy and who narrowly escaped the guillotine during the French Revolution. The present bindings obviously are not notable for their decoration but they are wonderful examples of attractively executed flamed calf bindings typical of those making up the bulk of country gentlemen's libraries all over Great Britain. The condition of the present copy is nothing short of extraordinary very nearly capturing the look and feel of the volumes as they would have appeared on their original shelf. Printed for G. G. J. and J. Robinson unknown‎
