réf. 67637Single sheet folded to 33 x 20 cm. one page a manuscript approx. 90 words 2 blank docketed on fourth page. Watermarked "USN" with Ship & Hudson. Ink browned. Simeon Draper Jr. auctioneer of the city of New York certifies that a public auction will be held at the merchants exchange on Aug. 25 for the sale of $100000 of stock numbered from 1900 to 2000 bearing 6% interest. Joseph Strong Commissioner signed the handwritten document. The New York and Erie Railroad Company was enfranchised and incorporated in 1832 and construction was begun in 1835 near Deposit NY. The year 1851 saw 446 miles 718 km of trunk line across New York state completed to Dunkirk NY on Lake Erie at a huge cost. The railroad was extended to Jersey City N.J. and to Buffalo N.Y. but in 1861 the company failed and was reorganized as the Erie Railway Company. The company gained sound financial footing during the Civil War before it became the subject of a tremendous financial battle. Daniel Drew Jay Gould and James Fisk allied themselves and from 1866 to 1868 outmaneuvered-with the aid of unauthorized stock issues political chicanery and incessant litigation-Cornelius Vanderbilt to keep control of the Erie Railway Company. After further financial trickery the Erie Railway Company went bankrupt and was reorganized 1878 as the New York Lake Erie and Western Railway Company. In 1960 the Erie merged with the Delaware Lackawanna and Western RR to form the Erie-Lackawanna. unknown books

1967réf. 50416London: George Allen & Unwin 1967. First printing. Near fine. First UK edition of Dahl's escapist fruit adventure - a beautiful copy. Originally published in the U.S. in 1961 and newly illustrated by Simeon for this first British edition JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH was described in Allen & Unwin's foreword as Dahl's "first book for children" somewhat accurate if one disregards his earlier THE GREMLINS 1943 originally intended as the basis for a Disney film. Dahl's genius as a writer for all age groups lies in his refusal to strip his children's books of the pure unadulterated nastiness at the core of his most memorable adult short stories; sex is absent but the vulgarity and meanness in the darkness of the human heart is if anything greater and more fearsome here: for Dahl hatred of injustice is born early in a child's spirit and festers until it finds some awful Aunt-crushing catharsis. The gruesome revenges taken by the weak upon the strong are correspondingly satisfying unfettered by impulses to mercy and as deeply transgressive as ever: Dahl's works for children have often been objected to by adults and this particular book regularly features on lists of banned or challenged books in American libraries - but for many children it is the spark of fantasy within bleak settings that appeals to the imagination without becoming saccharine. Tim Burton famously told Dahl's widow he wanted to turn JAMES AND THE GIANT PEACH into a film because "it's the only book that ever gave me any hope when I was a child" D IS FOR DAHL.

1805réf. 59752Waitsfield Vermont 1805. Narrow tall folio approx. 15½" x 6¾" 112 pp. in ink five separately sewn signatures; a few pages loose some pages darkened or chipped at edges; some entries faint. This account book is the record of the practice of either Stephen Pierce or Simeon Stoddard practicing in Waitsfield Vermont between 1795 and 1806. These were the second and third physicians to have settled and practiced in Waitsfield. Most likely it is the record of Pierce who is supposed to have settled in Waitsfield in 1795. The first physician in Waitsfield Moses Heaton remained there only between 1793 and 1796. Depending on the source Pierce was the third physician to practice in Waitsfield and/or the first to practice in Moretown a settlement to the northeast of Waitsfield. He farmed as well as doctored and his farm lay mostly in Moretown his office in Waitsfield. He was a respected and successful physician who served the community in other capacities: as selectman representative delegate to the Constitutional Convention of 1814 and Assistant Judge of the County Court. One source claims that he succeeded Judge Kinne December 1 1814 and served one year and that he was a justice of the peace in Waitsfield. He died either in 1854 after living in Waterbury and Berlin Vermont or he died in Barnard in 1864. See: History of the Town of Waitsfield Vermont 1782-1908 by Matt Bushnell Jones Boston 1909 p. 182. Simeon Stoddard on the other hand was born December 12 1761 either in Saybrook Connecticut or in Waitsfield. On August 19 1784 he married Abiah Thompson who had been born in 1763 in Waitsfield. Some sources state that he moved to Waitsfield from Saybrook in 1794. He served the southwestern area of Waitsfield and died in 1841. This account book records each date of visit the householder's name the relationship of patient to householder the medicine prescribed and its price and the cost of the doctor's visit. The doctor whether it be Stoddard or Pierce treated thirty to forty patients each month and as many as fifty-six in December of 1801. He charged as little as 4 pence and as much as 42 shillings 10 pence for his services. As a comparison the tax on an acre of land in Waitsfield was 2 pence an acre. The poll tax list of 1795 showed fifty voters so the doctor seems to have treated the members of nearly every family. The diseases treated are not stated in the entries made but he seems to have prescribed antimonium tartaricum in many instances and also digitalis. Waitsfield was founded by Col. Benjamin Wait or Waite and others who were granted a charter on February 25 1782. Wait had served under Gen. Jeffery Amherst in the French and Indian Wars and had fought in the Revolutionary War. Both Waitsfield and Moretown are now somewhat renowned as the areas around Mad River a popular ski resort. Mad River has been remarkable from the settling of the area as the source of numerous sudden destructive and deadly floods. The Green Mountains the northern extent of the Appalachians rise just to the west of the town. The doctor records having treated members of the Wait family including Benjamin's wife Martha d. April 3 1804 Ezra Thomas and Gilbert. The family names of the community are listed making this a good source for early settlement history and genealogical research. Among the householders who required the doctor's services are Smolly Skinner Taylor Spalding Hitchcock Parkhurst Carpenter the family had a tannery and potash works Heaton Burdick Johnson Rider Fuller Symonds McNight Chamberlain Atherton Lyon Butterfield Barnave Osgood Foster Hobson Robinson Brun Latimer and Sherman. Many of the names appear often. unknown books
réf. 57294Tall narrow folio 150 pages in ink; the first 6 leaves with overpasted newspaper clippings; some pages loose cut or missing; some pencil doodlings; some toning and occasional offsetting; contemporary and likely original calf-backed marbled boards spine partially perished and joints cracked. Detailed accounts of the work of a largely unknown itinerant Massachusetts housewright and general builder Simeon P. Pullen. Housewrights were somewhat different than simple carpenters in that they could make plans organize other workers and bring a building project to completion. Little is known about Simeon P. Pullen personally although his marriage to Mary L. Bradford appears in the Fall River Mass. records in 1829. His work detailed here was for jobs in Fairhaven Dartmouth New Bedford Mansfield and Providence R.I. and he boarded his family on location. For a job in Dartmouth in April 1 1834: "Simeon P. Pullen moved into David Crosby house the last day of march 1834 hired the hole consern for one year and to pay him forty dollars rent". His crew at the time included David Cardy who began work May 12 1834 for $5 a month Crapo probably Isaac Crapo and Sparrows whose first name is not given. The next job was in Fairhaven with Mr. Pearce "to finish a part of Mr. Abernathy hous for $225. and find more new stuff ". In 1833: "Mr. William and Charles Mason to Pearce & Pullen for work on Andrew Rodman house witch thay agree to pay and on Miss rodman hous". In Dartmouth in 1834 Pullen did a major job building a bridge for Joseph Gifford at $1.17 per worker per day. In Providence in 1836 & 1837 Pullen was in partnership with one Isaac G. Brown. They worked on projects for Mr. Baker Elisha Durfee's wharf and D. Vincent. "Providence August 1837. D. Vincint to Brown & Pullen for one door frame $1.00 to one window fraim .50 for putting the pediment a crost the north end $12 for a pot closet under the garet stairs $2.00 to cobboards in the chimney $6.00 for repairing the well drum .50 to buildin the fence at .33 per foot $13.33." In August of 1838 Pullen built a jeweller's shop in Providence for Benjamin B. Brownell for $450. He and his crew worked on the steamboat John W. Richmond as well as for "Dr. Arminton". The steamboat John W. Richmond plied the waters between New York and Providence and was named for a successful physician who was also known for holding much of the State of Rhode Island's Revolutionary Debt in bonds and stocks. The last jobs in the book are back in the Fairhaven and New Bedford area. unknown books

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
