1856réf. 43932Keokuk: J. B. Howell & Company Printers 1856. 1856. IOWA. First edition. 8vo. Original salmon-colored printed wrappers 11 pp. A rare promotional and description of a town that was never built in the Des Moines Valley in Iowa. To be located on the Des Moines River thirty miles above Keokuk Lawrence was meant to be to Keokuk "what Lowell and Lawrence of Massachusetts are to Boston and it is believed that the natural advantages are such as to relieve this design of even the appearance of extravagance." The text points out the need for manufacturing companies to take advantage of the growing population of the region as well as natural resources such as coal and other mineral deposits. The water power provided by the river would be harnessed by a proposed dam and lock system. The final page contains a description of the Lawrence Coal Company leading some to conclude they may have been behind the publication of this pamphlet. The town was apparently never built. Moffit located only the copy at the Library of Congress and the American Imprints Inventory for Iowa added only the Boston Public Library and Wisconsin Historical Society. OCLC adds Yale Grinnell College the Newberry Library and the DeGolyer Library. Americana Exchange lists a copy offered by Goodspeeds in 1966 and none before or since. Rare. An old water stain to the lower one third of the covers and each page else a very good copy of a rare document. J. B. Howell & Company, Printers, 1856. unknown

1906réf. h42263Mutual PA 1906. Hardcover. Good. 14.25 x 9.5 inches dark maroon cloth good with some wear to corners and spine ends binding a little worn and dusty contents very good. Identified as coming from the Mutual Coal Mine Co. by a small antique dealer's price tag and with "Mutual" in pencil on first page but we could be all wrong about this: on p. 277 there is a transaction for H. C. Frick Coal Co. in Mutual for 49 gallons of sperm oil so we don't really know what to think. The Mutual Coal Company was a subsidiary of the H. C. Frick Coal and Coke Company based in Mutual PA south of Greensburg and east of Youngwood. The mines closed in 1923 but in its heyday the company both mined and refined coal and had over 200 beehive coke ovens in operation. The ledger is from 1901-1906 and details the supplies needed to run the company with purchases for a wide variety of products -- building materials bricks straw tools machinery lumber even sperm whale oil for the miners' lamps etc. purchased from some major western Pennsylvania firms including much from the Carnegie Steel Company National Tube Works Lemont Brick Works Oil Well Supply Co. Joseph Woodwell Co Vulcan Iron Works American Mine Door Co. Harbison Walker Standard Supply & Equipment Co. Oliver Iron & Steel Co. American Lime and Stone Co. Baldwin Locomotive Works near Philadelphiaas well as various companies in Scottsdale Connellsville Greensburg etc. More research from someone who knows what they're doing can probably yield more information about where this ledger comes from and what it represents but it's an excellent look at the economics of running coal and coke operations back then. hardcover

Complains that 'formerly the thing could have been done in the House of Commons' but that the 'present rules . as to scope and title concerning contents even against Instruction prevent it.

Asked if Jenkinson can 'warn' him if the suggestion is acted upon. 19 April 1900; on letterhead '76, Sloane Street, S.W.' unknown
