Front endpaper with strange discoloring and a bit of rubbing to leather but overall a very good copy with a fine inscription by the author.Inscribed by the author son of Pierre Barlow Cornwall.

Eisner was a prominent San Francisco attorney his mother Lena Reinstein Eisner was a member of a prominent San Francisco family her brother Jacob B. Reinstein having served as a Regent of the University of California at the turn of the century. Both of Eisner's parents were native Californians.P. B. Cornwall was an adventurous fellow. In April of 1848 he set out from St. Joe to California. "The narrative records the encounter with the Mormons four thousand strong under Brigham Young at Council Bluffs following the expulsion from Nauvoo; the capture of Cornwall and his companions by Indians; their final escape and arrival at Fort Laramie" Eberstadt 114. They eventually made it across the Rockies but lost their guide Fallon to Native American depredations. Using Fremont's map they crossed the desert and the Sierra Nevada Mountains and arrived in California. Upon their arrival they were $8000 in debt but by the end of their first year had acquired $500000. Pierre Cornwall went on to lead a very active political life in early California. "The Black Diamond Coal Mining Company the Uellingham Bay and British Columbia Railroad the California Electric Light Company and the Mutual Electric Light Company were organized or promoted by him. He had a wide grasp on commercial problems and remarkable foresight and his ventures . were correspondingly satisfactory. Active in business Mr. Cornwall found time for attending to other interests. Never seeking office for himself he was a hard worker for the success of Republicanism in California. He was chairman of the Republican State Central Committee. He was the last surviving member of the first California Legislature and also of the first California constitutional convention. He was a president of the Society of California Pioneers and a member of the Board of Regents of the University of California." San Francisco Call; 9/26/1904. A. M. Robertxon hardcover
1853réf. BK0069Glasgow Scotland 1853. Autograph letter signed for John & Robert Tennent by G. R. Tennent to D. Gibb & Co. San Francisco. Received by the steamer Winfield Scott September 20 1853. 1 p. 8 ½ x 10 ½ inches. Light wear; very good. A Gold Rush commercial letter documenting the movement and valuation of California gold within the transatlantic financial system. Writing from Glasgow to the San Francisco firm of D. Gibb & Co. John & Robert Tennent acknowledge a remittance of gold dust valued at $5092 and explain why the transaction produced a poorer return than a conventional bill of exchange. The specie had been sold in London for £1001 12s. 6d. The firm then added sixty days' interest and deducted marine insurance in order to compare the net proceeds with the value of a draft. Their calculation left a balance of £15 18s. 6d. in their favor which they instructed the California merchants to include in their next remittance: "Referring to your remittance of gold dust we regret to inform you that as it was unauthorized on our part we presume that you cannot object to our placing the proceeds to your Credit under deduction of the difference between such proceeds and a remittance by Bill." The letter also records £174 9s. 7d. in freight payable at San Francisco on goods shipped aboard the Kate and refers to an enclosed summary of exports sent to California during the month of July. A concise but useful account of the practical economics of Gold Rush remittances showing the comparison between specie and bills of exchange together with the costs of interest insurance freight and transatlantic shipment. . unknown

réf. 76656Hardcover. This photostat copy of Baron Eötvös' landmark report on the use of torsion balances for geophysical purposes belonged to the prominent oil company executive petroleum exploration geophysicist and philanthropist Everette Lee DeGolyer 1886-56 with his ink stamp to the front flyleaf. It was at the Fifteenth General Conference of International Earth Measurement held on September 20-28 1906 in Budapest where much of the scientific community learned on Eötvös' research on torsion balances. Within a few years several European scientists were using instruments of this sort for geodetic work the study of measuring and representing the Earth and Hugo de Boeck director of the Hungarian Geological Survey was urging that they be used for geological work as well. An Eötvös torsion balance was used in the first gravimetric survey for petroleum prospecting in 1915-16 at Egbell field in Slovakia. DeGolyer tried to obtain an Eötvös torsion balance at that time but the First World War stymied his efforts. Later he made the first torsion balance survey in the United States at the highly productive Spindletop oilfield near Beaumont in South Texas. An oilfield found by DeGolyer on behalf of Rycade in Southeast Texas's Nash Dome was considered the first anywhere to be discovered using geophysics. The strike on the flank of a salt dome in Texas's Southern Fort Bend occurred on January 3 1926 using the torsion balance method which utilized gravity to identify and map layers of underground rock strata while roughly approximating their size depth and density. Accompanied by a typed copy of Dr. Wilhelm Schweydar's report on the Eötvös torsion balance 5 p. in German; with Carl Bamberg Schweydar developed a photographic torsion balance; a typed bibliography of related reports published between 1855 and 1916 8 p. largely in English; and four photostat diagrams of torsion balance surveys conducted in Texas with DeGolyer's ink stamp on the verso of one. Text in German. Tall octavo: p.337-395 with a double-page table and what appears to be a supplied title page. Full black cloth binding with gilt titles on the front panel a small typed label affixed to the spine and cream endpapers. The top corner of the first two leaves are clipped perhaps to remove evidence of the Amerada Petroleum Corporation stamp which is reproduced in the margin of two later leaves presumably this photostat was made from the copy in the Amerada library around 1916. The spine is lightly faded and leaning just a touch with a bit of mild wear to the corners and tips. hardcover
