Bound in is a typed presentation letter signed from Wolbach to Miss Ricketts dated 23 October 1922 with the postmarked cover laid in loosely. First Edition of Wolbach's classic work identifying Rickettsia prowazekii as the pathogen causing epidemic typhus; Presented by the Author to the Sister of Pathologist Howard Taylor Ricketts 1871-1910 whose pioneering researches led to the identification of the Rickettsia genus of typhus- and Rocky Mountain spotted fever-causing bacteria. Wolbach is best known for elucidating the infection vectors-lice and ticks respectively-of typhus and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. In the present work Wolbach and his co-authors definitively identified the human body louse as the vector for epidemic typhus. Working on behalf of the League of Red Cross Societies' Typhus Research Commission to Poland Wolbach and parasitologist John Todd carried uninfected lice to Poland to demonstrate that these insects transmit the typhus-causing bacteria Rickettsia prowazekii to human subjects. "The carefully controlled experiments of Wolbach Todd and Palfrey eliminated all doubt that R. prowazekii was the causal agent in typhus" Garrison-Morton.com 5393. Wolbach's presentation letter to Clara Ricketts reads as follows: "My dear Miss Ricketts: I take great pleasure in sending you a copy of the Typhus Report of the League of Red Cross Societies Commission to Poland as I have learned through J. Christian Bay that you are anxious to obtain one. Sincerely yours S. B. Wolbach." Clara Ricketts a senior assistant at the John Crerar Library in Chicago would naturally have been interested in Wolbach's work which built upon and extended her late brother's investigations. Jens Christian Bay 1871-1962 mentioned in Wolbach's letter served as Chief Librarian at the Crerar Library from 1928 to 1947. . Harvard U.P. unknown books

1914réf. 85541Moscow: Christian Printing House at the Preobrazhensky Almshouse 1914. Facsimile. Hardcover. Very Good. 24.5 x 18.5 cm. 204 leaves 24 leaves of plates. A circa 1914 facsimile of a work originally done in 7181 in the Byzantine calendar i.e. 1676 or 1677. Printed in black and red. Old leather covers with broken clasps. Rebacked much more recently. Entirety of the text is an archaic Russian Cyrillic script Russian Church Slavonic. Foliation with Cyrillic numerals. Some wear to boards. Written by one of the founder of the Pomor Old-Orthodox Church beliefs Simeon Denisov this work details the siege of Solovetsky Monastery by the Tsar Aleksey I 1668 to 1676. The monastery was attempting to resist the controversial mid 17th century liturgical and ritual reforms of the Tsar and the Patriarch Nikon. These reforms were an attempt to eliminate the differences between the Greek and Russian Orthodox churches while the monks and peasants of Solovetsky were fighting to preserve the Old Beliefs. Isolation and ample stores of food allowed the siege to last a long time but it was eventually ended when the monks were betrayed from within and most were killed.
