‎Hollander Jacob‎

‎Two Autograph Letters Signed Baltimore Johns Hopkins University May 18 and June 2 1905 to Commander E. F. Leiper Monte Cristi Dominican Republic‎

‎<p>two letters octavo 5 pages written in ink on State Department letterhead paper lightly tanned else in very good clean and legible condition.</p><p> Hollander writes:</p><p> "… I have received your letter of the eleventh instant with the copy of the Official Gazette enclosed. I thank you very much for the trouble to which you have gone and shall welcome any further material you may obtain. President Roosevelt has asked me to supplement the preliminary reconnaissance which I made in Santo Domingo with a detailed written report. I shall begin work upon this at once and it is very likely that in connection therewith I shall revisit the Island late in the summer. </p><p> It will be important for me to remain in as close touch as possible with political and other developments in the Island. You of all persons are qualified to give this information with respect to perhaps the most serious phase. I should therefore be very glad indeed if you could write me from time to time as fully as practicable concerning the situation…"</p><p> "… thank you for the documents … viz. the budget and the list of licenses of the municipality of Monte Cristi. I hope to return to Santo Domingo later in the summer and would be very glad to hear from time to time in regard to any developments that may occur before my return …"</p><p> The Dominican Republic which shared the island of Hispaniola with Haiti was politically unstable and financially bankrupt when Theodore Roosevelt became President of the United States. Unable to pay its national debts the country faced the threat of military action by France and other European creditor powers. To prevent European intervention and thus protect the routes to the future Panama Canal then under construction Roosevelt pursuing his own version of the Monroe Doctrine and "Big Stick Diplomacy" assumed a virtual protectorate over the country guaranteeing its territorial integrity against European intervention while agreeing to help pay its European debts by taking over the Dominican Customs the Republic's main source of revenue. With the unstated threat of landing US Marines if necessary Roosevelt also sent Jacob Hollander head of the Department of Political Economy at Johns Hopkins University to the island to make sure that the country put its "financial house in order." </p><p> Hollander descended from German-Jewish immigrants and a leader of the Baltimore Jewish community had already served President McKinley Roosevelt's predecessor by negotiating a monetary agreement with the leading European powers; and by revising the tax laws of Puerto Rico. After writing these letters he was to spend the next five years in the financial reorganization of the Dominican public debt. </p> Hollander's correspondent US Naval Commander Edwards F. Leiper was serving as Executive Officer of a US Navy warship sent to the Dominican Republic "to protect American interests" when the Admiral commanding naval forces in the Caribbean of orders from Washington "peaceably" – with an accompanying Marine guard – installed Leiper as Customs Collector at Monte Cristi a little town on the northwest coast of the island on the very day that an armed mob attacked the Customs House. Despite the outrage of the local Dominican Governor the Admiral made it clear that if any "harm befell" Leiper he would not hesitate to land a full detachment of Marines. By the time Hollander arrived for his "preliminary reconnaissance" the Dominicans had become angrily accustomed to indefinite US domination books‎

‎Two fine folding engraved plates. 9 leaves; 20 pp. one leaf of "Nota." Two parts in one vol. Small 4to modern wrappers. Stuttgart: J.G. Zubrodt 1681 the date is given in an anagram. First edition of this scarce observation of the famous comet of 1680-81; according to WorldCat we find no copy in North America. Apart from its brightness this comet is notable as the first to be observed using a telescope by Gottfried Kirch in Coburg. Other well-known observers included Robert Hooke Flamsteed Newton and John Evelyn. Zimmermann 1642-93 mathematician astronomer millenarian and theologian studied theology at the University of Tübingen and became a Lutheran minister at Bietigheim in Baden. A follower of Jakob Böhme Zimmermann's millenarian views caused him to be removed from his ministry. He attracted like-minded dissenters and in 1693 a group of about 40 people led by Zimmermann left Hamburg for Pennsylvania. Zimmermann died en route in Rotterdam. The remainder of the group established a religious community near the Wissahickon Creek. Zimmermann in his varied life was a professor of mathematics at Heidelberg. He wrote several notable and influential books on comets and was an active observer of the 1680-81 comet noted by Kronk see below on p. 372. Newton mentioned Zimmerman in the first edition of the Principia as an observer of this comet. The first plate depicts the comet's path. The early chapters deal with the comet's movements through the heavens and this is followed by a series of careful computations as to its exact positions at different moments in its progress. Fine copy and scarce. &#10087; Kronk Cometography I pp. 369-73. Poggendorff II col. 1411. unknown books‎

First edition in French 1st ed. in Latin: Danzig 1734 and enlarged. This is "one of the earliest monographic treatments of the sea urchins. It includes descriptions illustrations and a classification of both recent and fossil sea urchins.Although altered and enlarged this work was a major source of information on the Echinoidermata for zoologists and paleontologists throughout the eighteenth century and remained a point of departure in discussions by such early nineteenth century authors as James Parkinson."-D.S.B. VII p. 401. II. First edition in French 1st ed. in Latin: Leipzig 1743. This work summarizes Klein's feelings about taxonomic methods. His method was based entirely on external characteristics such as the number and position of limbs and the mouth. He vigorously opposed any method including the Linnaean system based on characters not visible externally. Klein 1685-1759 a leading marine zoologist "had many and diverse interests in natural history besides sea urchins. He developed a botanical garden in Danzig founded and directed a naturalist's society there made extensive collections and published about two dozen monographs including studies of birds fishes reptiles and invertebrates other than the sea urchins particularly the mollusks."-D.S.B. The attractive frontispiece depicts Klein standing in front of his natural history cabinet. A very fine and pretty copy. unknown books‎

‎Apologia Astrologie‎

‎One large woodcut diagram in the text. 24 unnumbered leaves. Small 4to modern boards. Nuremberg: G. Schenck 21 September 1502. First edition; this is the first of only two books known to have been printed by Georg Schenck and the author's only book. "In 1502 there was printed at Nürnberg a defense of astrology by Jakob Schonheintz a doctor of arts and medicine and a Franconian. He signs his preface at Würzburg. The immediate occasion of this defense was 'the impudence of a certain man who wishes himself to be considered a theologian although he is anything else than one who had attacked astrology and its professors. Pity for the unlearned who may take his attack seriously has moved Schonheintz to reply. He furthermore regards this preliminary skirmish as a preparation for a future encounter 'not with a cursed scribbler but with the most learned and most eloquent Giovanni Pico Mirandola most generous count of Concordia.' Schonheintz proceeds to say that no one has attacked astrology more bravely no one more learnedly no one with greater force and contention than Pico has."-Thorndike IV pp. 542-43.

Boston: Cummings and Hilliard 1817-1820. First edition. 60 color plates most with tissue guards: 10 hand-colored copper engravings and 50 plates printed in color a la poupee probably from an etched stone with some plates finished by hand. Six parts bound in three volumes. Octavo in fours nineteenth-century quarter calf bindings with marbled boards red morocco label and horizontal double-rules in gilt to spines. Ex library: each volume has a bookplate and ink stamp on front pastedown a perforated stamp to title-leaf with an ink stamp on verso a perforated stamp in top margin of first text leaf and an ink stamp on p. 51. Plates are unmarked. Bindings are worn and scuffed with joints tender some starting. Plates are clean for the most part though some have offset on versos from text leaves or slight toning from tissue guards. Text is clean. "This is the first botanical work published in America. Bigelow originally planned to use hand-colored copper plate engravings which are employed in the first half of the first volume. This method proving too expensive and laborious he sought a method of printing color rather than applying it by hand. Richard Wolfe who has made an exhaustive study of the work believes that the rest of the plates the book was issued in six parts over a three-year period were made by etching a stone block then applying the colors to the stone 'a la poupee'. The stone inked with multiple colors was then printed in a single impression. This is the only use of such a process an American color plate book." - Reese 19th Century American Color Plates Books #10.
