1877ref. 0383571877. Original manuscript. Very Good. 4pp octavo written in sepia ink on a single folded leaf; top few lines of first page are cross-hatched as the writer finishes up her message. In the original mailing envelope torn open addressed to Hannah Pancoast Mount Holly Burlington Co. New Jersey with a three-cent stamp postmarked at Philadelphia. Addressed to “My dearest H.” the writer says she received her letter when she was about to leave Paris but is writing her a less “hurried” reply now that she’s aboard ship although “it seems impossible to give thee an idea of the joy of the whole summer.” The rest of the letter is rhapsodic in its report of the beauties of Italy and Switzerland. The writer who notes that only 8 of “our party…went through Italy entirely” mentions seeing Naples Pompeii taking “lovely rides on the Bay of Naples” and “days at Rome sightseeing.” She then spent “day after day at Venice…riding in those gondolas a lazy dreaming life…” and including a trip from there to “the island where Byron spent so much of his time” San Lazarro degli Armeni. “The glory of the beauty of some of the past scenes can never fade from memory” and she singles out the ride from Pisa to Genoa with its tunnels and sights of “fishermen and …children…and little parties in bathing….” as especially charming. She was equally taken with the beauties of “Switzerland with its lakes” where she accomplished “the ascent of the Rigi” mountain near Lake Lucerne and also crossed the unforgettable mountain passes. She concludes “But I must tell thee all about this” in person and goes on to describe shipboard life. “There are ten Rev. gentlemen on board and they have family worship twice a day.” There is also “a great deal of musical talent on board…quite a concert…and last night a comical school. Miss Florence would have nejoyed the fun…fancy readings and recitations then one is asked to promenade and play games.” she also plays two-hour chess games with a “prof. from Georgia” and then with “another gentleman”. She opines “this is a lazy life” and says she’ll be happy to see her “dear ones” next week lists them all and ends with “Han I long to see thee and tell thee of the romances of this whole summer outing…” Unsigned. We find online that Hannah H. Pancoast was born 28 May 1862 the daughter of Joseph Pancoast and Susan Thompson of Salem County New Jersey. the “Steamship Bolivia” was an Anchor Line ship built by Glasgow’s Robert Duncan Co. and launched in 1873. unknown

She names dozens and dozens of Brattleboro residents that she visited in her Diary often she brought baked goods or hand made articles of clothing to people. She also wrote much about the local Y.M.C.A. the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and other Brattleboro organizations that she worked very hard for.

1766ref. 2041766. Good. 18th-CENTURY MANUSCRIPT ON THE MYSTERY OF THE INCARNATION ACCORDING TO THE DOCTRINE OF THOMAS AQUINAS Anonymous Tractatus VII. De Incarnationis Divini Verbi Sacratissimo Mysterio Juxta Mentem et Inconcussam Angelici Praeceptoris Divi Thomae Aquinatis Doctrinam 1766 8vo 8 x 6 inches 2 416pp. 10 Latin Good A solid 18th-century Latin manuscript focused on Thomistic theology specifically the doctrine of the Incarnation and the dual nature of Christ. The text is laid out in a formal scholastic structure with Tractatus and Caput sections and consistently follows the framework of Thomas Aquinas. It covers Christological doctrine the union of divine and human natures and includes discussion of early doctrinal controversies and heresies especially those concerning the nature of Christ and the Incarnation. This is clearly academic in nature and likely produced as part of higher-level theological training rather than devotional use. The manuscript is written in a clean and consistent hand throughout laid out as a complete and organized text. It was acquired in Mexico City though there are no ownership marks or institutional stamps present. Based on the structure language and materials it fits well within 18th-century Catholic scholastic practice and could have been produced either in Europe or in New Spain. The paper is laid with visible watermarks including a crowned device with a fleur-de-lis motif and a second mark reading "CARBO" likely pointing to continental European paper possibly Italian or southern French which would have been commonly used in both European and colonial settings. The manuscript is dated 1766 within the text. None of the pages are numbered. Bound in full vellum. The vellum has a split to the front board but remains fully attached with chipping and a roughly one-inch loss to the spine along with general staining and warping. Inside there are extensive wormholes to the first endpaper and mild wormholing to the second with the rest of the text block largely unaffected. There is foxing throughout along with waviness and rippling to the pages from moisture and scattered damp staining including a heavier one to a leaf corresponding roughly to page 238. unknown
