‎1858 HANDWRITTEN ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT JOURNAL AND DIARY OF A WELL KNOWN PHILLIPSBURG NEW JERSEY MAN WHO WILL SOON BE A SERGEANT IN THE CIVIL WAR‎

‎PHILLIPSBURG NEW JERSEY NJ. Good. 1858. On offer is an interesting pre Civil War handwritten relic of New Jersey Americana being the original 1858 manuscript journal and diary of Elias D. Smith of Phillipsburg New Jersey who would go on to serve as a Quarter Master Sergeant in the 14th New Jersey Volunteers during the Civil War. In a sporadic manner many days he wrote a full page about what he did and how he felt and about the people places and events of the day. He would also expound on some point of politics or a moment in history and its affect on America or the State. Historians and researchers concerned with the politics of religion American sentiment about their old Colonial masters the British and commerce and trade the social scene the arts and the era in general will find a wealth of opinion and observation by Mr. Smith who begins with a flourish: "Sacred To The Memory of By-gone Days" he writes then dating the commencement at 1858. This is a large 10½ x 8¼ inch page-a-day journal and while Elias is sporadic in entries - he writes almost daily from January 3rd the first page has been excised through March 15th but none until September 22nd and then off and on until the 1st of December - he writes densely filling most pages entirely. Here's a snippet: "Mrs. Harris and Phebe on Tract Society business & I do wonder how she ever made up her mind to come out in such a rain as she did to come here. While she and Mother and Mat were busy with their tracts Phebe Martha Hill Walter and I played Monkey cards and Masqueraders and such like. We also had some singing - tip-top of course - and so we fooled around the evening. I say fooled because it certainly seemed a waste of time and yet I could think of nothing else to entertain the company."

‎Memoirs of Sir Elijah Impey, Knt‎

‎About The Book : The fortune and after-fame of public men, often depend rather upon the spirit of the times in which they live, and the state of political parties, to whose influence they are exposed, than upon their own intrinsic merits or defects. This is an axiom, approaching indeed to a truism, applicable to all times and countries, but more especially to our own; where, for so many generations, government has avowedly been carried on upon the principle of balancing party against party; and where, until quite recently, no public man seems to have thought that we could be governed in any other manner. It was the lot of my father to enter the service of his country, at a period when party heat and violence had attained to their greatest height; and it was his misfortune to excite the personal enmity of a man, who became, in a manner, the oracle and prompter of a faction, the most intemperate, and, at the same time, the most able, persevering, and influential, that ever sate upon the Opposition benches: I allude to Sir Philip Francis. This is not the place to descant upon the character of that gentlemen; it will be fully developed hereafter. But I think it highly important, thus early in this work, to premise, in a summary way, what manner of man he was, who originated these proceedings. About The Author : Elijah Barwell Impey (1780-1849); Parents: Elijah Impey, Educated at Westminster and Christ Church, Oxford, he served briefly in the dragoons and published poetry. In the course of my work, The author have repeatedly announced my intention of depositing the Family MSS. and other papers (upon which this volume is mainly founded), in the Library of the British Museum. The author have now only to announce that those hooks and papers have been so deposited, and that they are now accessible to every man of letters, that may wish to study an important chapter in Indian history, or to test the correctness of my numerous quotations and references. The fortune and after-fame of public men, often depend rather upon the spirit of the times in which they live, and the state of political parties, to whose influence they are exposed.‎

‎1938-42 Energetic Jam-Packed Diary of a Freewheeling 20-Something Who is all about the NYC Life‎

‎New York City New York. Very Good with no dust jacket. Hardcover. On offer is an excellent jam-packed 5 year diary describing in detail the life of a young working woman in New York City from ages 27 through 31. The author of this 5-year diary is Elisabeth Betty Townsend Otto 1911-2009 born in Buffalo New York. According to her obituary she was the daughter of the late Dr. Jacob S. Otto and Elisabeth Townsend Wheeler Otto. After attending schools in Buffalo New York Betty worked for ten years in the 30s for Standard Oil of New Jersey which later became Exxon Corporation. Returning to Buffalo she was employed at Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Western New York. After purchasing a home near Long Island Sound in 1961 where she could swim and enjoy the beach with her friends she became a lifetime resident of Old Saybrook Connecticut. Her ancestors included the late Augustus Seymour Porter of Buffalo who in 1838 became Mayor of Detroit and then served as a U. S. Senator from Michigan until 1845 and the late Col. Peter Augustus Porter of Niagara Falls who fought in the Civil War for the Union and fell near Richmond on June 3 1864 while leading the 8th New York Volunteer Heavy Artillery troops in the battle of Cold Harbor. Elisabeth’s entries are detailed and she fills all the lines every day. Her focus is on living it up in New York and she therefore mention many locations across the city. Some excerpts follow: “Work as usual. All of the girls had lunch at Eliz Driscoll’s. I came home on 5: 03. Mother & Dad arrived. I had cocktails for Dad and dressed.

This is an outstanding record of a young woman who has built a successful life during the war years of the mid-20th century. Full of details for a historian or researcher into Women’s Studies it offers an excellent look at the changing roles of women in American society.

Grâce à Elisabeth et Robert Badinter, c'est chose faite. Leur Condorcet répare une injustice trop longtemps perpétrée à l'endroit d'un homme éblouissant qui, justement, a consacré sa vie à combattre toutes les iniquités.Claude Servan-Schreiber, Marie-France.Intellectuel, philosophe, défenseur des Noirs, des Juifs, des femmes, abolitionniste convaincu et militant, et accompagné dans la vie par une femme aussi belle qu'intelligente, la célèbre Sophie à la tête bien faite, Condorcet ne pouvait qu'attirer le ministre de la Justice qui fit voter l'abolition de la peine de mort, et son épouse, philosophe, féministe et passionnée par le Siècle des Lumières.Michèle Gazier, Télérama.Que devient « un intellectuel en politique » selon le sous-titre de ce livre ? Est-ce une pensée qui s'altère ? Le Condorcet des premiers temps, celui d'Elisabeth Badinter, est-il le même que le révolutionnaire de 1789 étudié par l'ancien ministre de la Justice ? La question qui traverse ce livre n'a rien de théorique. Elle est intime, brûlante même. Et la réponse que donne ce Condorcet est lumineuse.Marianne Alphant, Libération.Les auteurs, sans doute parce qu'ils sont deux, se gardent d'intervenir en leur nom. Ils font oeuvre d'historiens, non d'essayistes... Mais quel beau travail, sobre, fouillé, habité de discrets élans, d'évidentes tendresses !Bertrand Poirot-Delpech, Le Monde.‎

‎Mein Leben mit Alwin Berger : La Mortola - Stuttgart - Geneva‎

‎Verlag Eugen Ulmer. Stuttgart 2020. 256 Seiten. Mit einigen Abbildungen. Farbig illustrierter OKart.-Einband. (Minimale Gebrauchsspuren). 24x17,5 cm‎

‎* Der wird ein Gärtner, der hat die Blumen zu gern, soll dem Bauernsohn Alwin Berger (1871-1931) in Kindertagen geweissagt worden sein. Aus kindlicher Neigung wurde zielgerichtetes Interesse. Auf Lehr- und Wanderjahre in Botanischen Gärten zwischen Dresden und Frankfurt, Freiburg und Greifswald folgten Berufungen an den Hanbury-Garten La Mortola, in königliche Dienste an die Wilhelma in Stuttgart, an die New York State Agricultural Experiment Station in Geneva und schließlich das Württembergische Naturalienkabinett. Aber was für ein facettenreiches Bild tritt hervor, wenn seine Frau anekdotenreich schildert, wie der leidenschaftliche Gärtner vom Lehrling zum hoch angesehenen Botaniker aufsteigt. Jahrzehntelang als Familienbesitz gehütet, geben Ihre Erinnerungen jetzt Einblick in eine erstaunliche Karriere und zeigen überdies Berger als Genie freundschaftlicher und kollegialer Beziehungspflege, von dessen überreichem Arbeitsleben nicht zuletzt weit über 700 erstbeschriebe Pflanzenarten und rund 300 Publikationen zeugen. --- Alwin Berger (* 28. August 1871 in Möschlitz; ? 21. April 1931 in Cannstatt) war ein deutscher Botaniker, Gärtner und Sukkulentenforscher. Sein offizielles botanisches Autorenkürzel lautet ?A.Berger?; früher war auch das Kürzel ?Berger? in Gebrauch. Alwin Berger wurde am 28. August 1871 in Möschlitz in der Nähe von Schleiz in Thüringen geboren. Er besuchte die Schule in Schleiz und absolvierte anschließend eine Ausbildung zum Gärtner in Ebersdorf. Nach dem Abschluss der Ausbildung arbeitete er in den botanischen Gärten von Dresden, Greifswald, Freiburg und Frankfurt am Main. 1897 wurde er Kurator des von Thomas Hanbury begründeten Botanischen Gartens am Capo Mortola nahe der Gemeinde Ventimiglia im italienischen Ligurien. Diese Stelle hatte er bis 1914 inne. Während der Zeit in Italien widmete er sich vor allem der botanischen Systematik der Sukkulenten und erarbeitete sich einen Ruf als internationaler Experte für dieses Fachgebiet. Mit dem Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkriegs wurde der Aufenthalt in Italien für ihn zu unsicher, weshalb er 1915 nach Deutschland zurückkehrte und als Oberhofgarteninspektor die Gärten des Königs von Württemberg in Stuttgart betreute.[1] Nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg wollte Berger die Idee eines Botanischen Garten in der Wilhelma verwirklichen, stieß jedoch auf den Widerstand eines Beamten im damals zuständigen Finanzministerium des Landes Baden-Württemberg. Als er degradiert wurde, legte er 1922 sein Amt nieder. Von 1923 bis 1926 arbeitete er an der New York State Agricultural Experiment Station, einer Forschungsanstalt in Geneva, New York. Anschließend kehrte er nach Stuttgart zurück, wo er Leiter der botanischen Abteilung des Naturkundlichen Museums wurde. Zum Werk Das Pflanzenreich von Adolf Engler trug er Liliaceae - Asphodeloideae - Aloineae (1908) bei; zu dessen Werk Die natürlichen Pflanzenfamilien steuerte er für die 2. Auflage, Band 18a (1930) das Kapitel über die Familie ?Crassulaceae? bei. Als sein Hauptwerk gilt das 1915 erschienene Buch Die Agaven: Beiträge zu einer Monographie., in dem er 271 Agavenarten in drei Untergattungen beschreibt. Er beschrieb als erster die Kakteengattung Roseocactus. Alwin Berger starb am 21. April 1931 in Cannstatt im Alter von 59 Jahren an einer Blinddarmentzündung. Auf Vermittlung des Botanikers Liberty Hyde Bailey erwarb der Botanische Garten New York Bergers Herbarium, das Proben von mehr als 1000 verschiedenen Sukkulentenarten umfasste, von dessen Witwe Elise Berger.

‎1888 - 1929 FASCINATING ORIGINAL GROUP OF 15 MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY THE WIFE OF AN EDINBURGH MINISTER‎

‎Scotland. Good. 1888. On offer are 15 detailed diaries of a Scottish minister's wife at the turn of the 19th century and extending into the first quarter of the 20th century 1888 through 1929. Comprising about 200 pages each these leather-bound volumes are in very good condition. They measure about 5 inches by 3/34 inches. Most of the annual diary entries are 99% complete. Several are 33-50%. There are additional notes in the Memoranda sections. The entries are brief and her handwriting is very tight but fairly legible. The 1923 volume contains an insurance policy attached to the inside rear cover. It was issued by the Ocean Accident & Guarantee Company Limited. Ocean was incorporated in 1876 and through mergers continued in business until 2005 when it was wound up. The 1929 volume was printed by Letts & Co the firm that invented the world's first commercial diary more than 200 years ago. Under a red-sealed ribbon it contains 2 unique sales offerings. One is an accident insurance policy which notes it is not necessary for the . policy or the diary to be on the person at the time of accident. The 2nd insert offers an anonymous mailing forwarding & redirect service. The firm British Monomark had been established only 4 years previously and remains in business today as one of the UK's largest mail forwarding and virtual business service providers. The other interesting feature of this 1929 volume is a folding memo tablet attached to the rear cover. It can be used as a mini whiteboard as its polished surface can be erased with a damp cloth. The volumes for 1924 1925 1927 and 1928 are Edinburgh Diaries manufactured by George Waterston & Sons. They contain a very extensive information section including the usual lists such as Postal rates MP's and UK and Scottish holidays etc. Additionally there are some unique sections such as an extensive Gardening Kalendar Game Laws Terms Tide Tables for Principal Scottish Ports and a detailed listing of the Members of the Royal Family. The author of the diaries is unknown. From context we can gather that her husband 'A' is a minister possibly Church of England. There are a number of references to locations that lead one to believe they live in Edinburgh. Her entries recount personal events and happenings within her community: "Went into town in the afternoon and accomplished all my errands which were numerous. Called on Mrs. Mrs also on Miss Gibson" April 27 1888. "Stopped at Britismans a cod fishing station. 31 millions caught this year . "July 4 1888. "Lunched with D McGregor and Lady Jane Dundas and Lady Caroline Charteris. Aunt Helen had baptism . " Mar 5 1889. "Left Edinburgh at 10:30 for Abington where the 4-in-hand coach awaited us. The party consists of Mr & Mrs Thomas Leadbetter Miss Thomas Ball P & E and us. Lunched at Leadhills down Menock Pass past Canonbridge to Thornhill. Called at the Rogersons" May3 1889. She notes with a great deal of tenderness: ". Tonight at ten minutes past eleven our little girl came to us - our first born. How strange it all seems! God be praised" Aug 7 1889. "Percy left this morning. Mary at Creigs. A left this morning for Balmoral with P who was going across to Fife ." Sept 21 1889. "Meeting about various messages in the morning Shopping with E in the afternoon. Made calls in connection with the projected mission. Harry Parker came in at night. Called on Mrs. Williamson" June 8 1891. "At Graham Park Mission all day decorating the hall." Dec 23 1892. Many entries note shopping excursions and lunches with friends. She helps out with church events and bazaars. She has a very busy social life as would befit someone who is married to a minister with some standing in his community. The diaries contain a section for noting who visited the date of their visit and when the visit was reciprocated. There are many entries over the time period. Her cash accounts are sporadic but do note costs of various items plus her donations to various causes. Twenty five years on her life is still focused around family her very busy social life and church activities. "A went to 's funeral and took the service. I had no black or dark clothes so I sent flowers. I called upon Mrs . Fresh but cold. ." Aug 13 1924; "Went hunting for carpets for Joppa Home in the morning."Apr 14 1927. Joppa Home was a home for unmarried mothers and their babies. This is a superb resource for a social historian looking at the role of women in a society with a highly defined structure. This would be especially the case for Victorian Scotland. The author is a very literate educated woman who diligently records her daily life over a period of many years. Church historians would find the many notes of churches and church events an excellent research reference.; Manuscript; 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF 19TH CENTURY 20TH CENTURY 1880S 1890S 1900S 1920S CHURCH OF ENGLAND VICTORIAN EDINBURGH ROLE OF WOMEN IN VICTORIAN SCOTLAND CLERGY IN SCOTLAND OCEAN ACCIDENT & GUARANTEE COMPANY LIMITED LETTS & CO DIARY BRITISH MONOMARK INSURANCE POLICIES IN 1920S E GEORGE WATERSTON& SONS EDINBURGH DIARIES; LADY CAROLINE CHARTERIS SOCIAL LIFE OF WOMEN IN VICTORIAN EDINBURGH WOMEN STUDIES CHURCH HISTORY ANGLICAN COMMUNION IN SCOTLAND HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . hardcover‎
