‎Greenleaf Simon 1783 1853‎

‎Autograph Letter Signed Cambridge May 7 1836 20 min past 3 to Hon. P. Mellen Portland Maine‎

‎<p>quarto two pages plus stamp-less address leaf formerly folded in very good very clean and legible condition.</p><p>"Dear Sir</p><p> … Mr. Hilliard says and authorizes me to repeat that the plan he delivered to Mr. Longfellow is <u>not</u>the <u>original</u> but a copy; yet it is of great value to the heirs being the plan from which certain writings were drawn. The <u>original</u> is in the hands of W. C. Whitney Esq.; and is also recorded in Oxford Registry. You probably can obtain the original from Mr. Whitney. But if the copy is desired Mr. H. says that as you are 'known to be a careful man' he is willing that Mr. Longfellow should loan it to you for the ensuing term taking such Security for it as he may think proper. Though 'if it was Judge Parker he would not let him have it'! As to Bro. Downes's bill in equity I intended merely to intimate that as he paid the costs should you charge him only a reduced fee in this case he would doubtless make it up to you by retainer in other…"</p><p> An intriguing if cryptic letter by the Maine lawyer who was then Harvard Professor of Law and with U.S. Supreme Court Justice Joseph Story a founding father of Harvard Law School. Greenleaf writes to Mellen first Chief Justice of the Maine Supreme Court of which Greenleaf had been clerk and he probably refers to Maine lawyer Stephen Longfellow – whose son Henry the poet had just become another Harvard Professor. He also refers to Cambridge lawyer Francis Hilliard whose prolific legal writings were required reading for many Harvard law students. George Downes was a Maine State Senator and like Mellen an Overseer of Bowdoin College where the younger Longfellow had taught before moving to Cambridge. A typically intimate linkage of the early New England elite. </p><p> <i>American National Biography</i> volume 9 pp. 542-543</p> books‎

‎Die galvanische Kette mathematisch bearbeitet‎

‎One folding engraved plate. iv 245 1 pp. 8vo cont. half-cloth & marbled boards ends of spine almost invisibly repaired spine gilt. Berlin: T.H. Riemann 1827. First edition of this pioneering work which contains one of the most important discoveries in electrical science - "Ohm's law" - the basis of the present system of electrical measurement. Ohm discovered the unit of resistance in an electrical current. "In the field of electrical measurement Ohm was the great pioneer.Ohm's great contribution - 'The Galvanic Chain Mathematically Calculated' - was to measure the rate of current flow and the effects of resistance on the current. 'Ohm's law' - that the resistance of a given conductor is a constant independent of the voltage applied or the current flowing - was arrived at theoretically by analogy with Fourier's heat measurements 1800-14."-Printing & the Mind of Man 289. It is known that the publisher was forced to pulp most of the copies of this book due to lack of sales.

‎MERARD DE SAINT JUST Simon Pierre‎

‎Catalogue des Livres en très petit Nombre qui composent la Bibliotheque de M. Mérard de S. Just Ancien Maître-d'Hôtel de Monsieur frere du Roi‎

‎2 p.l. 164 5 pp. 12mo cont. polished calf by Derome triple gilt fillet round sides with floral devices in each corner flat spine gilt in a fish-scale pattern black morocco lettering piece on spine a.e.g. Paris: de l'Imprimerie de Didot l'Ainé 1783. Limited to 25 copies only finely printed by Didot on Annonay paper and handsomely bound in contemporary polished calf by Derome; this is one of the rarest and oddest of all private library catalogues. It is also notable as the first bibliography or catalogue with a limitation statement and very probably the first catalogue to mention binders' names. Mérard 1749-1812 man of letters was born into a family of great wealth and for a number of years was in charge of the residence of the future Louis XVIII. After retiring from his public duties in 1782 he concentrated on his growing collection of books and on commissioning editions printed in severely limited numbers. Guigard wrote Vol. II p. 351: "Sans l'amour des livres Mérard de Saint-Just serait complètement oublié." There is much truth in this but the catalogue is a fascinating and rare document which keeps Mérard's name alive in the world of bibliophily. The catalogue is an odd combination of books which were present in his library books no longer in his library and books which he desired for his library including some books which could be imaginary; see below. His collection was not large but fine. Mérard did not have the taste for editio princeps except for Aldines but preferred the best editions with careful editing. The catalogue describes 513 items each with details regarding binding and prices paid. In the Preface which alone would justify reprinting for his extraordinary views on book collectors and in his concluding remarks on pp. 161-163 he sets out his main interests foremost among them fine bindings listing eight binders whose works he had acquired or himself commissioned: Padeloup Laferté Derome le Jeune Chamean Chaumont Roger Payne and Baumgarten. He enumerates sixteen sales at which he acquired books including those of the Pompadour Boze Gaignat Gouttard Mac Carthy Reagh and 'Mylord Keri' i.e. Ker Duke of Roxburghe collections. His catalogue is the first in which the binders of the books whenever known are mentioned. Mérard has been accused of including in his catalogue the description of books which never existed or which he never owned but Escoffier convincingly defends him against that charge though Barbier shows that six of his own works described as printed editions were in fact in MS. Mérard suffered two major losses from his library which he recounts in this catalogue. During an absence the pipes in the kitchen leaked causing serious water damage to the library room below irreparably destroying 200 of his most precious books. Then on the 12th of December 1782 the English navy seized a French boat which was carrying 1000 books of Mérard's - considered by Guigard to be the cream of his collection - which he had sent to a friend in America why he had sent them he never explained. These volumes were never recovered. A very fine copy. This copy has the five extra pages at end often missing which contain a description of one of the books in the catalogue the Des Pierres Précieuses of Dutens. This was the first book printed by Didot l'ainé. Unidentified armorial book label on inside front cover: with coat-of-arms monogrammed with initials "C.R.L." or "R.L.C." and motto "Vita sine litteris mors est." Bookplate of A.R.A. Hobson. &#10087; Brunet III 1643. Guigard II pp. 351-52. Houghton Library Bibliotheca Chimaerica 1962 p. 7. Peignot p. 113-"assez recherché à cause de sa rareté."
