[PREVAUX, Francis Edward, Reverend, Attributed to] (1822-1860)Biblio.com

Prevaux Francis Edward Reverend Attributed to 1822-1860. An Interesting Original Autograph Letter Signed “Frank E. Prevaux” Written by a Young New England Port Worker Future Baptist Missionary in San Francisco and Principal of the San Francisco Academy Rev. F.E. Prevaux Mentioning His Dining in the “Seamen’s Home” Possibly in Providence Rhode Island Work in Port His “Theological Course” and Interactions with “an Old Tar” Who “Has Lately Run Away from a British Man of War Was in the Late War between England and China and is Pretty Well Scarred Up”. Likely Providence R.I. ca. 1840s.

réf. MD46Quarto bifolium ca. 25x19 cm or 9 ¾ x 7 ½ in. 25 pp. Brown ink on creamy wove paper; addressed on verso of the second leaf. Foldmarks and creases paper slightly age-toned second leaf with a minor tear and a hole after opening not affecting the text but overall a very good letter written in a legible hand. An interesting private letter written by a young port worker in New England likely in Providence Rhode Island in ca. 1840s. The compiler was most likely Francis Edward Prevaux “a Baptist missionary from Amesbury Massachusetts. He graduated from Brown University in 1846 and Newton Theological Institute in 1849. He was ordained a Baptist evangelist in 1850 and was sent to California by the American Baptist Home Mission Society where he began preaching at Bethel Church San Francisco California and became the principal of the San Francisco Academy. He remained in California until 1859 and died in Amesbury Massachusetts in 1860” Guide to the Bancroft's California Gold Rush Digital Collections// Berlekey Library University of California; see more. Written most likely shortly after Prevaux’s graduation from Brown University in 1846 the letter is addressed to his mother “Mrs. Lydia Prevaux Amesbury Mass. pr. kindness of Mrs. Green” Lydia Prevaux née Randall 1787-1876. The author talks about his living conditions dining in the “Seamen’s Home” his leave for Newton and upcoming “theological course” subsequent visit to his family home in Amesbury and a meeting with “an old tar” who “has lately run away from a British man of war was in the late war between England and China and is pretty well scarred up” likely talking about the First Opium War 1839-1842. Overall an interesting early letter written by a prominent Baptist missionary in San Francisco during the Gold Rush. Over seventy of Rev. F.E. Prevaux’s letters are deposited in the special collections of the UC Berkeley Library see more. Excerpts from the letter: “I always feel disposed Mother to seize upon every favourable opportunity which offers itself for writing to you. Mrs. Green having offered to take a letter I of course must write a letter. I commenced last Monday to take my dinner at the Seamen’s Home and I find it even more than I anticipated. I feel fifty per cent better than I did when I was eating alone. I still continue however to breakfast and sup by myself since I now am getting along finely and I tell you I enjoy my dinners as well as I ever did. I do love the company of sailors and this affection is in part at least returned. I love their society so well Mother that you need not be surprised to hear one of these days that I had slipped on board some vessel as a foremast hand and was enjoying the company of sailors in the forecastle. My health is good and I am able to do my full amount of labour and hope when my time is up to leave for Newton in as good health and spirits. Three weeks from next Monday morning I expect to leave this city perhaps spend a day or two in Boston and then away to the pleasantest place in Creation. I do anticipate much benefit from my theological course perhaps more than I shall realize but if my health should be good I intend to make hard study my business while I remain there. I think it’s a chance if any of my correspondents receive as many letters for three years to come as they have during my three years in college and perhaps they will be glad of it. <…> Time passes rapidly away and the little more than three weeks I have to remain here seems very short but the three and a half months before I can visit Amesbury seems somewhat long. <…> We are now having fine cool weather just the sort for work and I try to improve it as well as I am able. There is not however so much to be done as there has been the number of vessels in our harbour is comparatively small; they seem to be hauling off into warmer climates as the cold weather approaches. However I have enough to keep me busy a good portion of the time. Do come Mother to Cambridge if you can make it convenient. I shall expect to see you there and would prefer not to be disappointed. I found an old tar knocking about this forenoon. I overhauled him and spent the most of the forenoon with him. He has lately run away from a British man of war was in the late war between England and China and is pretty well scarred up. He is a jolly fellow and has just arrived here from Quebec where he left the man of war. I took him with me to get him a … on board some vessel and I expect he will soon leave for Pictou…” unknown

Manoel de Campos da mesma Companhia Professor Ordinario de Mathematica no dito Collegio. LISBOA OCCIDENTAL Na Officina de Antonio Isidoro da Fonseca Impressor do Duque Estribeiro Môr. Anno de M.DCC.XXXVII. 1737 Com todas as licenças necessarias. In 4º de 204x147 cm. Com xxiv 212 cclxxxiv págs. Encadernação da época inteira de pele com nervos rótulo e ferros a ouro. Exemplar com desgaste na encadernação com falta das folhas de guarda anteriores e com falta de um fronstispício gravado e 7 gravuras. Algumas manchas e assinatura de posse de fins do século XVIII na folha de rosto: Ignacio Lazaro de Sá Viana escrita sobre outra que ficou ilegível. As páginas preliminares contêm: prólogo ao leitor licenças com aprovações do Padre João de Meneses Fr. Crispim de Oliveira e Luís Francisco Pimentel; e uma - Prolusão Encomiastico-Historico-Critica com a história da trigonometria. As páginas finais sem numeração contêm as tabelas do Canon trigonométrico de i a clxxxii e da Tabua logarithmica dos números naturais nas páginas clxxxiii a cclxxxiv. Segundo Loreto Júnior o Padre Manuel de Campos apresenta nesta obra abordagens muito interessantes que conduziram a resultados importantes como a correção do Canon Trigonometrico e a geração da linha logarítmica. A trigonometria apresentada por ele apresentada tinha como primeiro objetivo a sua aplicação à náutica e à astronomia. O Padre Manuel de Campos foi um grande matemático que deu um dos maiores contributos para compreender como se relacionam os conceitos de equidecomponibilidade e equivalência de volume de poliedros problema que fascinou muitas gerações de matemáticos até que uma resposta satisfatória fosse encontrada por Dehn em 1900. As suas obras são consideradas mais didácticas e bem organizadas do que as dos seus antecessores. Muito raro e de excepcional importância para o estudo dos métodos de ensino da Companhia de Jesus e do avanço do estudo da matemática em Portugal na primeira metade do século XVIII que estava a cargo dos jesuítas. Padre Manuel de Campos Lisboa 1681 - 26-11-1758 Jesuita professou a 26 de Novembro de 1698. Foi professor de Matematicas em Madrid de 1728 a 1734 professor na Aula da Esfera do Colégio de Santo Antão de Lisboa e Academico da Academia Real de Historia.
