Eigenh. Brief m. Unterschrift. Albany, 3. III. 1856.
1½ SS. 8vo.

Macaulay, Thomas Babington, British historian and statesman (1800-1859).
Autograph letter signed ("TBMacaulay"). (London), Albany, 27. VIII. 1846.
8vo. 4 pp. on bifolium. To an unidentified German recipient who had asked Macaulay to intercede on behalf of a literary friend: "My knowledge of German literature is very small. I now and then spend an hour with Schiller and Goethe. But I am ashamed to say that I do not know their successors even by name. I am quite willing to believe that you have formed a correct judgement both of your friend's poetry and of the treatment which he has experienced. But I do not think that he would at present have much chance of obtaining employment in the public service. As to myself, I have no patronage, except indeed a few small places in Chelsea Hospital. None of these places is vacant; nor would any of them suit a foreigner and an accomplished man of letters. The clerkships in the pay office are not in my gift, but in the gift of the Board of Treasury. For many reasons it seems to me that your friend would do well to aim rather at private than at public employment [...]".

2 SS. auf 2 Bll. 4to. “Man hat mich aufgefordert, etwas über mein Buch zu schreiben. Ich will es versuchen und hoffe, daß es leichter ist, über ein Buch zu schreiben, als das Buch selbst! Es wäre mir nie im Leben eingefallen, ein engl. Lehrbuch zu verfassen und herauszugeben - stellen Sie sich vor, jeder Lehrer würde das tun! - wenn ich nicht durch zahlreiche Zuschriften aus dem Kreise meiner Radioschüler aufgemuntert worden wäre, meine Radiovorträge in Buchform zu sammeln und zu veröffentlichen [...] Hoffentlich bewahrheitet sich der Titel: ‘Englisch lernen - ein Vergnügen an allen, die sich das Buch zum Leitfaden gewählt haben”. - Neben dem in den zwanziger Jahren erschienenen Lehrbuch übersetzte T. W. MacCallum Skizzen von Ludwig Hirschfeld (‘The Vienna That’s Not in the Baedeker’, München 1929) und gab einen Band Kurzgeschichten heraus (‘Tells Funny Stories’, München 1929). - Rechts oben numeriert; mit kl.

Zusammen 8 SS. 8vo. und 90 x 110 mm. An Emilie Schaup aus der Zipfer-Brauereidynastie am 2. August: "Am 27. Juli sandte ich als Eilgut an Ihre Adresse das mir gütigst bestellte Gemälde nebst Rahmen. Ich hoffe, daß ich mir durch die Ausführung Ihre so geschätzte Zufriedenheit erworben habe. Jedenfalls war es mir ein Vergnügen, beim Schaffen der schönen Stunden zu gedenken, welche ich dort an der rauschenden See und angesichts der herrlichen Schneehäupter des Libanon verleben durfte [...]".

MacCRACKEN, Henry Noble (1880--1970)
Typed Note Signed
Vassar College's longest-serving president was its fifth 1915-46 an effective academic administrator who was also their first secular president and helped to found Sarah Lawrence College. TNS 1p 8½" X 5½" Poughkeepsie NY 8 January 1930. Addressed to John T. Owen. Very good. Lightly age toned with inoffensive staple hole at upper left not affecting text and small chip at upper right corner. "I shall be glad to have you use the photograph of me made by Pirie MacDonald in the booklet you are preparing and you are hereby granted permission to secure this from the photographer." Boldly signed in blue with his usual "H.N. MacCracken." The noted New York portrait photographer 1867-1942 -- known as "Photographer of Men" for he only photographed males -- shot anyone who was anyone in that area for decades and MacCracken sat for him in 1924. Owen was perhaps a publicity or marketing person working up a Vassar promotional brochure. unknown

Macedo, Sergio Teixeira de, Politiker (1809-1867).
2 eigenh. Briefe mit U. Wien und Baden, 1843 und 1845.
Zusammen 3 SS. auf Doppelblätten. 4to. Mit eh. adr. Kuvert bzw. eh. Adresse. An den Mediziner Rudolf Rt. von Vivenot (1807-1884): „J‘ai tout fait pour régler tous mes comptes, et en consequence j‘avais moi meme armandé celui de votre tailleur Mr. Euler, mais malheureusement je n‘ai pas en assez l‘argent pour payer à ce brave homme [...]“ (Br. v. 9. X. 1843; mit eh. Adresse und kl. Einr. am unteren Rand von Bl. 1). - „Je vous présente Mr. le Docteur Neves Medecin et professeur de notre faculté de Rio Janeiro qui voyage par ordre du gouvernement de l‘Empereur pour etudier les instituts et hopitaux destinés au traitement des alienés afin de diriger un etablissement qu‘on est en train de creer en ce moment à Rio pour remplacer l‘ancien dont on connait les vices [...]“ (Br. v. 6. IX. 1845). - Macedo war, wie auf beiliegendem Sammlungsumschlag vermerkt, brasilianischer Gesandter. - Rudolf Rt. von Vivenot gründete 1848 den „Konstitutionell-monarchistischen Verein“; als sich die angestrebte Gründung einer patriotischen Partei nicht verwirklichen ließ, zog er sich jedoch aus der aktiven Politik zurück. Seit 1868 Mitglied der Deutschen Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina, wurde er 1872 Vorsitzender des Komitees zur Gründung des Sophienspitals in Wien; daneben war Vivenot Direktor des Unterstützungsvereins für Witwen und Waisen des medizinischen Doktor-Collegiums.

MACFARLANE Peter Clark 1981 1924
Typed Manuscript Signed
This well-rounded California pastor railroad man actor playwright and lecturer was a popular short story writer and novelist "Those Who Have Come Back" 1914 "Tongues of Flame" 1924 and penned the scripts for the films "Guiles of Women" 1921 starring Will Rogers and "A Pair of Hellions" 1924. TMS 1p 8½" X 11" Pacific Grove CA 1923 March 8. Near fine. Actual working draft page p. 23 from a short story titled "Mercy" which was published in the May 1923 issue of "Cosmopolitan" magazine. Typed double spaced with numerous additions deletions and corrections. Along the wide right margin vertically Macfarlane signs large and bold in full in black ink adding date and place and noting "a page from the MS of / 'Mercy' Cosmopolitan for / May 1923." Content concerns a minister named Robert N. Mason confessing a sexual crime to a friend George Fawcett during a nighttime drive through what seems suspiciously like heading north from Macfarlane's home in Pacific Grove: In part "The city of E____ enjoys a climate that has bland moments. This was one of them. It was a black velvety all-enveloping sort of night -- the very night for confidences; and the car was turned north away from the city away from the lights away north endlessly north into the open country. The minister apparently suffering the greatest distress with something upon his heart that demanded expression seemed nevertheless quite unable to utter himself." Interestingly about a year after this was signed on June 9 1924 Macfarlane bought a gun at a local gun shop said goodbye to wife and children and drove north to San Francisco where he put a bullet in his head outside the San Francisco morgue. The reason for his suicide at age 53 Diabetes. From the collection of Professor Albert Johannsen author of "The House of Beadle and Adams and Its Dime and Nickel Novels" University of Oklahoma Press 1950 the definitive reference work and bibliography on the subject. Johannsen requested working draft pages from authors so it's possible this manuscript leaf predates its 1923 date by quite a bit. Also present is Johannsen's original 8½" X 11" file folder bearing his printed "Collection of Albert Johannsen" label partly filled in by Johannsen. unknown
