‎Typed Note Signed‎

‎One of the great unsung American inventors and timepiece pioneers was this New Jersey watchmaker who held more than 40 patents but is remembered for the "calculagraph" a device that records times and calculates the difference; one of its first uses was in 1894 in New York where it recorded the length of telephone calls and impressed AT & T so much they installed it nationwide; his other inventions include a watch winding system that resulted in watches being wound by their stem instead of with a key and a revolutionary method for making enamel watch dials. TNS 1p 8�" X 11" New York NY 1933 October 16. Addressed to Mary B. Day librarian at Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. Near fine. On ornate Calculagraph Company letterhead featuring at the bottom a faint engraving of the calculagraph machine being used with its slogan "It Makes No Clerical Errors" Abbott graciously notes: "It gives me great pleasure to comply with your request and I am sending in the same mail for filing in your library a copy of the pamphlet entitled: 'Watches and Men'."

‎Influential Congregational clergyman and author who co-edited "Christian Union" with Henry Ward Beecher and succeeded Beecher as pastor of Brooklyn's famed Plymouth Congregational Church. Exceptional content TMsS 2pp 6" X 9" Cornwall-on-Hudson NY 1881 December 7. Very good. Original typescript of Abbott's contribution to Osborn H. Oldroyd's 1882 book "The Lincoln Memorial: Album-Immortelles" a collection of reminiscences and sentiments about Lincoln by notables of the day. Abbott carefully and neatly inks in words and phrases and crosses out others signing at the close unusually small and neat knowing this would be the actual signaturee reproduced in the book and adding the date and place. A fine philosophical statement reading in part: ".It was the peculiar genius of Abraham Lincoln that he was able by his sympathetic insight to perceive the change in public sentiment without waiting for it to be formulated in any legislative action; to keep pace with it to lead and direct it to quicken laggard spirits to hold in the too ardent too impetuous and too hasty ones and thus when he signed the emancipation proclamation to make his signature not the act of an individual man the edict of a military imperator but the representative act of a great nation." Accompanying this typescript is an actual page from Oldroyd's book bearing Abbott's statement pp. 81-82 and this reproduced signature. Accompanied by a Typed Letter Signed bearing his usual charismatic ebullient signature 1p 5�" X 8�" Cornwall-on-Hudson NY 1881 December 7. Addressed to Osborn H. Oldroyd. Near fine. Transmits this manuscript although "I have no faith that anything which I can say in respect to Abraham Lincoln would be worthy a place in your collection." A most intriguing pair. unknown‎

In 1948 Vidal wrote the groundbreaking novel The City and the Pillar. He is the undisputed master of the historical novel through Creation Julian and his American Chronicle series and is equally well-known for his inventive novels including Myra Breckinridge and Duluth. In 2002 Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace: How We Got To Be So Hated was an international best seller critiquing U.S. foreign policy. Vidal is a powerful voice interpreting and critiquing our world with insight originality and scholarship often resulting in thought-provoking controversy. This bibliography documents all phases of Vidal's ongoing remarkable work. It focuses on Gore Vidal as a writer from 1940 through June 2009. In two volumes second on CD this is the definitive comprehensive and descriptive bibliography of his work and is a valuable reference book for libraries collectors scholars booksellers and Vidalophiles.
