1860réf. 50276London 1860. London 30 June 1860. Bifolium. 4pp. 180 x 111 mm. A few pin-holes but fine otherwise. From English physiologist and naturalist William B. Carpenter who "helped shape the modern life sciences in Britain Oxford DNB through both his writings and his work as a teacher and administrator at what is now the University of London. Carpenter performed valuable researches in marine zoology and was directly influential in persuading the British Admiralty to sponsor the Challenger expedition the first major scientific study of the deep oceans. Carpenter is also recognized as one of the founders of the modern theory of the adaptive unconscious-he observed that the human perceptual system and the mechanism of human thought operates almost completely outside of conscious awareness. Carpenter's correspondent was the police magistrate and author John Paget. "I cannot let Mrs. Carpenter be the only one to express our hearty appreciation of the kind feeling on the part of Mrs. Paget and yourself by which the beautiful gift which we had the pleasure of receiving from you yesterday has been prompted as well as our admiration of the combined elegance and utility of the gift itself. Since its arrival Mrs. Carpenter has for the first time informed me that she had been taken into your counsels in the matter; and I am very glad that without any intention of her own your gift should have taken a form that so appropriately made her a participator in it. For her interest in Guy and her constant solicitude for his welfare have been as I need scarcely tell you in no degree inferior to my own. It gives us both great pleasure to have so substantial an expression of the satisfaction felt by Mrs. Paget and yourself in what we have endeavoured to do for him; and we trust with her that the influences and associations of early years may be pleasantly and usefully kept up on both sides by the continued friendship of our boys as they advance in life. With kindest wishes for the welfare and happiness of Mrs. Paget yourself and your family believe me Dear Mr. Paget always yours most sincerely William B. Carpenter." . unknown books

On the death of his mother-in-law: I feel sure that you will be sadly interested in learning that we received two days ago the unexpected intelligence of the death of Mrs. Powell which took place quite suddely on the night of the 30th. She had been failing for some time and seemed to suffer much from disappointment in regard to the affair of the pension having a great wish to be independent of the assistance of her friends and strongly desiring that her father's service to the nation should be acknowledged . . . There was not the least indication of suffering quite the contrary . . . So that I quite believe that she must have passed from the unconsciousness of sleep into that of death. For her and for all those who were interested for her I am satisfied that this will be felt the most desirable termination . . . . unknown books

"My Dear Mrs. Gibbs: I thought it might interest you to see brought together the zoological papers that have been written by holders of the Virginia Barret Gibbs Scholarship since 1894. I trust you will accept the two volumes which I am sending with this as a slight token of appreciation of the aid which this scholarship has already afforded to students in Zoology. When I think of the years to come and the many more men who will be helped while devoting themselves to biological problems I am sure the grounds are ample for offering you as I do my hearty congratulations. Quite by chance I learned through Miss Clark that your birthday is near at hand so I am taking the liberty of making that day the date of this little remembrance. With high esteem and good wishes I am as ever Sincerely E.L. Mark." THEODORE K. GIBBS 1840-1909 was born in Newport Rhode Island in 1840 and was the youngest son of Rhode Island Governor William Channing Gibbs.

Gibbs and his wife Virginia Barrett d. 1926 maintained homes in both New York City and Newport. THE VIRGINIA BARRET GIBBS SCHOLARSHIP FUND was established in connection with the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College to support one or more students who may have shown decided talents in Zoology and preferably in the direction of Marine Zoology. His studies and researches may be conducted at the Natural History Laboratories of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College at the Newport Marine Laboratory or at such European laboratories or other place on the sea-shore in this country or elsewhere as may be approved by the Faculty of the Museum of Comparative Zoology and by the Professors of Zoology and of Comparative Anatomy of Harvard University. –President's Report of Harvard College 1888-89 pub. 1890. ALEXANDER AGASSIZ 1835–1910 son of Louis Agassiz was an American scientist and engineer born in Neuchâtel Switzerland and immigrated to the United States with his father in 1849. Graduating from Harvard University with the degree of A.B. he entered the Lawrence Scientific School and two years later received from there the degree of Bachelor of Science. In 1859 he went to the Pacific coast where for a time he was engaged upon the North-West Boundary Survey. Upon his return in 1860 he became assistant in Zoology at the Museum of which he took charge during his father's absence in Brazil. From 1866 to 1869 he was superintendent of the Calumet and Hecla Copper Company which he developed from a state of insolvency into the most noted copper mine in the world. During the years 1869 and 1870 he carefully inspected the museums of England France Germany and Scandinavia after which he returned to his duties in Cambridge and succeeded his father as curator of the museum of comparative zoology which position he held until 1898 when he resigned to devote himself to his own expeditions. Agassiz served as a president of the National Academy of Sciences which since 1913 has awarded the Alexander Agassiz Medal in his memory. EDWARD LAURENS MARK 1847-1946 received his A.B. in 1871 from the University of Michigan. In 1873 he was the first American to obtain a doctorate in the laboratory of Rudolf Leuckart; receiving his Ph.D. in Zoology from the University of Leipzig in 1876. Bringing the cytological and histological approach with him to Harvard University in 1877 he was responsible for the introduction of advanced European microscopic techniques. After rising to Professor of Anatomy in 1885 he served as Director Bermuda Biological Station for Research from 1902 to 1931. Founded by Louis Agassiz the University's Museum of Comparative Zoology became the main center of zoological training in 19th century America.

Mary Carpenter and Nineteenth Century Educational Reform in a Signed Carte de Visite

réf. 16337Carpenter Mary. Signed carte de visite portrait circa mid-1860s records the English educational and social reformer during the period in which her work on ragged schools reformatories prison conditions and female education had made her a prominent public advocate for institutional reform. Carpenter devoted much of her career to expanding educational opportunities for poor children and young offenders and argued that reformatory institutions should foster discipline education and personal improvement rather than rely solely on punishment. She was also active in anti-slavery work and later carried her educational and penal reform interests to India where she promoted female education reformatory schooling and prison reform. Albumen carte de visite photograph by T. R. Williams of London circa mid-1860s. A slip of paper bearing Carpenter's name in ink has been pasted across the lower margin of the mount. The portrait dates from a period when Carpenter was widely engaged in public speaking and reform work in Britain and abroad and the signed identification connects the image directly to the sitter rather than relying solely on later attribution. Carpenter's portrait belongs to the visual record of nineteenth-century women reformers whose public authority was built through lectures publications institutional work and transnational advocacy. Her campaigns linked educational access juvenile reform prison conditions women's education and anti-slavery activism across Britain and India.

The Reports chronicle a wide range of pediatric disease with many examples of the ravages of infectious diseases now prevented by immunization tumors and malformations including congenital heart disease. There is a long discussion of "sudden and unexpected death in children" "delayed chloroform poisoning" following anesthesia and paralysis treated with muscle grafting. Dr. Stephenson's expertise in ophthalmology is responsible for numerous illustrations of funduscopic images of various systemic diseases. This is remarkable as the first fundus camera was not developed until 1926.

Carpenter, Ezra, RevABAA

Church of Christ in Swanzey. Report of Council. Dismissal of Rev. Ezra Carpenter

1769réf. 55574Swanzey: March 15 1769. Two-page holograph document of dismissal against Rev. Ezra Carpenter folio approx. 12" x 15" previous folds browned small holes at folds; very good and legible. Ezra Carpenter 1698-1785 a son of Nathaniel and Mary Preston Carpenter his third wife was born March 20 1698 in Rehoboth Massachusetts and graduated from Harvard College in 1720. He was married in 1723 to Elizabeth daughter of Rev. Thomas Greenwood of Rehoboth. Their children were: Elizabeth Elijah Theodosia Greenwood Preston Olive Content married John Kilburn and Rachel. He died at Walpole New Hampshire August 26 1785 in his eighty-eighth year. He entered the Christian ministry and was ordained at Hull Massachusetts November 24 1725 at a wage "rarely more than half enough to support a family." He was dismissed from the pastorate in Hull November 23 1746. November 1752 found him preaching at Lower Ashuelot or Swanzey New Hampshire which had been burned by the Indians four years before. The town of Upper Ashuelot or Keene engaged him in 1753 to preach at an annual compensation of £50 6 s. and firewood. Keene and Swanzey then formed a single church to which he was installed October 4 1753. Written by the council of churches this document concerns his pastorate in Swanzey: "We the pastors & Delegates from the Several Churches applied to by the pastor of the Church of Christ in Swanzey being convened in council at Swanzey . after earnestly imploring the Divine Direction & assistance & reading the results of former councils & other papers necessary to give us light with regard to the separation of the Rev. Mr. Ezra Carpenter as desired to ret. by our letters missive.we come to the following results.viz." They write that although Rev. Carpenter has been a good minister "We lament the unhappy differences & irresponsible & groundless jealousies mutually subsisting between the Rev Mr Carpenter.and people of Swanzey which we apprehend have been a great means of protracting & preventing the termination of their differences and controversies." They conclude with entreaties of mercy for the reverend and for treating him "as a brother" and to consider his infirmities due to his age he was then 71. The document is signed by "Thos Fessendon moderator Samuel Hedge Micah Lawrence Samll Ashley Willm Smeed and Nathl Stevens". A note at the bottom is dated March 16 1769 and states that Carpenter was then present at the house of "Dea Jona Hammond" where the declaration of dismissal was read. Sibley's Harvard Graduates notes that concerning Carpenter's first dismissal from Hull: "Carpenter patiently endured poverty for twenty years only to be overthrown in the end by New Lights who charged that he did not preach the doctrine of grace. Itinerant zealots who invaded the town inflamed the New Lights in the congregation into bringing some fifteen charges of errors of doctrine against him." Apparently similar forces were at work in this his second dismissal. Ezra Carpenter was also chaplain of New Hampshire state troops at Crown Point. March 15 unknown books
