‎JOHN MORRIS‎

‎1840 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT BOOK OF COMPLEX EQUATIONS MATHEMATICAL PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS FOR NAVIGATION MEASURING DISTANCES SETTING COURSES AND WORKING OUT LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE ALONG WITH A CHARMING ENGAGING 15 PAGE MINI-NOVEL‎

‎London England. Good. 1840. On offer is a super original 1840s manuscript copybook titled Practical Geometry handwritten by John Morris of London England. The book is comprised of geometry and trigonometry related to navigation and seamanship and contains many case studies for problems in Geometry and Trigonometry with calculations tables and illustrated examples filling every page. Case studies for setting courses determining longitude and latitude calculating distances etc. etc. in various methods make for a superb early practical education in British nautical lore. The 140 page book includes a fair copy of an autograph letter written by Morris to his lawyer later docketed Feb. 25 1841 and a fair copy of a business recommendation letter requesting that the Duke of Northumberland appoint Morris lighthouse keeper or a lighthouse being erected dated March 13 1841 concerning procuring a position in the Trinity House. Much much more than a simple mathematics copybook this is an interesting compilation of nautical studies and later recordings relevant to the life of John Morris. At the rear of the book 15 pages of an original novel are written in a neat uniform hand. The novel is likely the original work of John Morris and adds an engaging breadth to the personality of the author. The prose is skillful with intricate details and accounts for good character development; the writing style referencing the work of romantics. The text is continuous and at the last leaf ends "Therefore upon your finger pure golden pledge the Bridal Ring." The 12 x 8 inch book is written in brown ink in a neat slanting cursive there are original marbled paper covered boards with cloth back strip browning lightly soiled two leaves excised at rear; corners bumped but overall G.; Manuscript; Folio - over 12" - 15" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF NAUTICAL COMPLEX MATHEMATICS EDUCATION GEOMETRY TRIGONOMETRY NAVAL MARINE SAILING MARITIME MARINER VADE MECUM LONGITUDE LATITUDE SEAFARING LORE GUNTER ENGLAND BRITAIN HEART OF OAK TARS SAILORS HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH DIARY JOURNAL LOG KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS DIARIES JOURNALS LOGS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY AMERICANA ANTIQUIT� CONTRAT V�LIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIG�EDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . hardcover‎

‎Rehnquist Supreme Court.‎

‎William Rehnquist Supreme Court oversized photograph signed by all nine justices dressed in robes. Group portrait taken on the occasion of the investiture of William Rehnquist being elevated to Chief Justice and Antonin Scalia's investiture. Signed by John Paul Stevens Sandra Day O'Connor Antonin Scalia William H. Rehnquist William J. Brennan Jr. Thurgood Marshall Byron R. White Lewis F. Powell Jr. and Harry A. Blackmun. Matted and framed to an overall size of 21 inches by 23 inches. The Rehnquist Court refers to the Supreme Court of the United States from 1986 to 2005 when William Rehnquist served as Chief Justice of the United States. Rehnquist succeeded Warren Burger as Chief Justice after the latter's retirement and Rehnquist served as Chief Justice until his death in 2005 at which point John Roberts was nominated and confirmed as Rehnquist's replacement. The Rehnquist Court is generally considered to be more conservative than the preceding Burger Court and Warren Court. According to Jeffrey Rosen Rehnquist combined an amiable nature with great organizational skill and he "led a Court that put the brakes on some of the excesses of the Earl Warren era while keeping pace with the sentiments of a majority of the country." Biographer John Jenkins argued that Rehnquist politicized the Supreme Court and moved the court and the country to the right. Through its rulings the Rehnquist Court often promoted a policy of New Federalism in which more power was given to the states at the expense of the federal government. The Rehnquist Court was also notable for its stability as the same nine justices served together from 1994 to 2005 the longest such stretch in Supreme Court history. unknown‎

‎JOHN R. WRIGHT‎

‎1830s - 1880 ORIGINAL ARCHIVE OF EIGHT 8 MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY A WESTERN NEW YORK FARMER WITH ONE EYE TO THE SPIRITUALISM MOVEMENT‎

‎WESTFIELD CHATAUQUA COUNTY NEW YORK. Good. 1835. On offer are the original manuscript diaries 8 handwritten by John R. Wright circa 1830-1880 a farmer and laborer in Westfield Chatauqua County New York. Westfield is in the section of western New York State popularly known as the "Burnt Over District" it is also a dozen miles from Lily Dale the birthplace of the modern Spiritualist movement. While the handwriting poses a challenge it appears that the Wrights were one of the many families caught up in the religious fervor sweeping the area. The diary notes attendance on several occasions at Spiritualist meetings. Our diarist John R. Wright and his father James were two of about twenty-five people from Westfield that signed a petition in 1854 for the Spiritualist Newspaper asking Congress to appoint a "Scientific Commission to investigate certain physical and mental phenomena of questionable origin and mysterious import that have of late occurred in this country and in Europe." While the diaries for the most part deal with the everyday mundanities of rural life and there is no end to the work there is the backdrop of the spiritualist movement like a thread through the entries; there are mentions in the late 1860s going to "U.I.L." this sometimes looks more like "W.O" often. This seems to a meeting place for Spiritualists mayhaps an experimental circle where s�ances were held. These mentions seem to peak around 1866 and 1867. "Wednesday June 14 1854: Planted potatoes all day. Pa observed for me in the Morn. the off & Spiritual meeting"; "Wednesday August 28 1867: Went over to u.i.e. In the morn & again afternoon. S. M. Livingston said lite & water lives in " The main spiritualist appears to be a man named: "J. Dibble" - mentioned often throughout the diaries and also in relation to the U.I.L. or W.O. camp. ; Manuscript; 16mo - over 5�" - 6�" tall; KEYWORDS:HISTORY OF JOHN R.
