Ide signature on title An Ide family association copy of a Bear Flag Rebellion rarity. "This Sketch contains an account of the early years of W.B.

Presentation Copy inscribed by Wolbach on the front free endpaper: "Miss Clara A. Ricketts with the compliments of S. B. Wolbach." 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

1812rif. 25627New York 1812. Engraved map hand-coloured in outline sectioned and linen-backed at a contemporary date. Housed in a black morocco backed box. Unique copy of De Witt's important 1804 map of New York with county divisions updated to 1812. In 1778 George Washington appointed Simeon De Witt as the assistant to Robert Erskine the first Geographer and Surveyor General of the United States a position De Witt attained several years later. Following the war De Witt became the first Surveyor General of New York a position he held for an unprecedented fifty years. Among his first acts was to create the definitive first map of the state based on actual surveys. Following the settlement of the state's boundaries and accurate surveys which he directed De Witt published a large wall map in 1802 - the first map of the state and the progenitor of similar mappings in other states. Two years later De Witt issued this "contracted" version of his wall map intending its circulation to meet a wider audience. According to Allen however the map which was sold by subscription "does not seem to have been as widely distributed as its predecessor although it appears to have been designed to reach a wider audience. It may be that De Witt's 1804 map was unable to find a niche in competition with other small-scale maps of the state such as those of Samuel Lewis" Allen. Nevertheless as Streeter commented De Witt's 1804 map is "one of the earliest separate folding maps of New York after it became a state." Interestingly the present copy suggests that De Witt or an enterprising mapseller made an additional attempt to market this map. This copy of the 1804 map is updated to 1812; that is the map is as printed in 1804 but the county boundaries shown via period hand colouring depicts the state in 1812: the far western counties established in 1808 are clearly delineated e.g. Chautauqua Cattaraugus and Niagara counties but Erie County created in 1821 is not shown; Putnam county is shown separate from Dutchess County as per its establishment in 1812; Oneida County is shown with its western boundary on Lake Ontario i.e. before the 1816 establishment of Oswego County; among other additions. In all the state is divided into 47 counties. We find no other example of De Witt's 1804 map altered in this fashion. The exactness and appearance of the colouring however suggests it to be a distinct issue of the map or done for some official purpose as opposed to an early owner's mere manuscript addition.

1884rif. 39334No place: No publisher 1884. 8vo 23 cm 9". 14 pp. A paper "read before the Medico-Legal Society of New York Nov. 19 1884" that praises the evolving approach to mentally ill patients and offers the idea that insanity is not only caused by an "organic disease of the brain" but can also be caused in "short durations" by "functional disturbances . . . in organs remote from the brain." Clark argues that there is not a clear line between the sane and insane as even the clinically sane can have bouts of acting in an abnormal or irregular way. Dr. Simeon Tucker Clark 183691 was a Berkshire Medical College graduate who practiced in Lockport New York. He was also a passionate published poet. WorldCat cannot locate any institutional copies.

A presentation copy inscribed by Simeon Ide to the editor of THE EVENING BULLETIN on a front fly leaf: "This volume is respectfully inscribed in "Vindication" of a beloved Brother." Also includes a brief pencil correction on page 93 likely in Ide's hand. William Ide emigrated to California in 1845. In 1846 after rumors that the Mexican Republic was going to expel all non-citizens he led a group of settlers in what became known as the Bear Flag Revolt after the California Bear Flag raised as they took control of the Sonoma pueblo. Ide was named Commander of the California Republic. Afterwards most of the party joined Lieut. Col. John C. Fremont in seizing California from Mexico. Uriel Crocker was a founder of leading Boston publishers Crocker & Brewster and later sat on the board of several railroad companies including the Atlantic & Pacific Railroad South Pacific Railroad and St. Louis & San Francisco Railroad. "This SKETCH contains an account of the early years of W.B.
