1878réf. 0001064AUGUSTA MAINE ME. Good. 1878. On offer is a super original archive of five 5 handwritten manuscript diaries authored by Reverend Isaac J. Mead of Augusta Maine. He was the son of Albert Manley Read who died in 1861 fighting in the Civil War. Research finds that Mead is listed in the Universalist Register of 1895 as editor of THE GOSPEL BANNER. His handwritten diaries are for 1878 he is 37 years old 1882 1887 1888 and 1889 when he is 48. Mead is an enthusiastic prolific writer rarely failing to write a diary entry rarely failing to detail his visits his works his travels and to set these writings apart Isaac Mead proves to be a rather political churchman who rarely fails to press the Universalist Church's approach. His daily entries include the weather his work on the Banner Universalist meetings conferences Sunday services his preaching funeral duties etc. He makes many 'insider' remarks on Church doings and of other Church communities' doings. Historians and collectors of Maine and the neighboring states will have a treasure trove of information on religious matters of the day plus Mead also details: politics of the day; the Blaine and Harrison presidential contest local news like the Dexter Bank case Stain-Cromwell were defendants stabbing on the mail train soldier jumps fight leads to death collision of ocean steamers muster week-encamped on Leonard Farm Glencarin finished race faster etc. Took trip to New York City-Coleman House Coney Island "great playground of this city" Fleetwood Park Eden Museum wax Madison Square - 2 plays. Mr. Fairburn got him his Remington rifle -"a very pretty gun". Mead mentions many hundreds of names of his colleagues visitors family et al. Many entries about gun club target practice etc. Reverend Mead does not provide holographic ownership markings but this archive of diaries came from a larger archive of his estate ephemera.

1862réf. 0009086CAMBRIDGE BOSTON MASSACHUSETTS MA. Good. 1862. On offer is the 1862 diary of Isaac S. Pear owner of a Massachusetts factory and business manufacturing spring and cot beds and specialties in folding furniture. Pear speaks often of his day-to-day activities and his business which he writes have been negatively affected by the ongoing and bloody Civil War. The entries range from short concise entries of the weather to longer ones directly related to his business activities at the time. There are also reports of the Civil War battles won and lost and the general feeling of the people around him usually a mixture of exhaustion and anxiety. He obviously keeps tabs on the war especially as it reflects the effect on regiments and people from Massachusetts and his entries reflect this often. It seems about the middle of the year Pears factory begins making cots and beds for the Union Army. A call goes out in August for men to volunteer for the Union. For a few weeks Pear closes his store and factory at 2pm in aid of recruiting. He mentions that stores that did not close early were shut down by a mob. There also seems to be a dour attitude about the situation as Pear often reports the amount who have died in the war and the despondent look of the soldiers who return. The situation does not look good at all through Pears eyes. He also mentions people he knew by name who have died in the war. The Memoranda and Cash Accounts section of the diary contain a number of pages of detailed lists of items bought and paid for money received from clients at the store and money paid out to employees many of whom seem to be family. The book is approximately 380 pages of which there is writing in 300 or so. The cover is soft black leather with a wrap around portion meant to slide into a little loop however the loop no longer exists. It says Diary 1862 on the front. It shows a good bit of wear throughout. The pages show some discoloration and wear especially near the front and back but nothing that affects legibility. Pear wrote in pencil throughout the book and there is some smudging on certain pages that can affect legibility however these entries can be read with a bit of effort made easier under direct light. His handwriting is easy to read and legible throughout. The book is in overall good condition. Sample entries: Friday February 7 1862. Quite and warm all day. The snow thawed considerably. News of the taking of Fort Henry on the Tennessee River read to-day. People feel elated. This evening took tea at Mrs. Williams.; February 8. Comes in pleasant but colder than yesterday.

He traded in San Francisco three years and worked in the mines one year and then returned to Cambridge in 1857. The same year he entered his present business as manufacturer of spring and cot beds and specialties in folding furniture his factory being situated on Brattle street Boston. In the presidential campaign of 1856 Mr. Pear cast his vote in California for the free soil candidate John C. Fremont. In 1860 he voted the Bell and Everett ticket in 18564 for Lincoln and has been a republican ever since. Mr. Pear was a member of the common council with William E. Russell and in the board of aldermen the next two years. In 1887-88 he was a member of the legislature serving upon the committee on elections and giving valuable aid upon the committee on water supply in the taking of land around Fresh pond. He worked for the Australian ballot which was then secured. During his legislative career he was an intimate of the late Chester F. Sanger who occupied the adjoining seat in the house. Mr. Pear has been on the Republican City committee for the past dozen years. He is to-day a director in the Cambridge Mutual Fire Insurance company and also in the Colombian Cooperative bank.

1926réf. 54867Moscow МоÑква: Kinopechat Кинопечать 1926. First edition. Softcover. Good to very good condition. Octavo. 80pp. Dark blue and white wrappers with constructivist typography on the front cover housed in modern blue heavy paper portfolio with printed typographic design of original cover pasted to cover flap. Publisher's device on title page. This scarce published screenplay for the film adaptation of Sholem Aleichem's novel "Wandering Stars" by the acclaimed Russian-Jewish novelist playwright and journalist Isaac Babel 1894-1940. The film was premiered in Kiev on January 4th 1927 and was directed by Grigori Gritscher-Tscherikower 1883-1945. It was produced by VUFKU studios the national film studios of the Ukrainian SSR. This book contains the entirety of the film's screenplay accompanied by three striking b/w illustrations by Soviet artist and designer Alexander Bykhovskii 1888-1978 who likely also created the striking cover. The final three pages contain publisher's ads listing other work on the topic of cinema. The story tells of the love between Leibel the son of a wealthy shtetl family and Reizel a poor cantor's daughter in Bessarabia. The two run off to join a traveling Yiddish theater group. They are later separated with each becoming successful in their own right only to eventually reunite in America. The work was first serialized and originally appeared in the Warsaw newspapers between 1909 and 1911. It has come to be seen as the third in an unofficial trilogy of novels by the writer centering on musicians or performers preceded by Stempenyu 1888 and The Nightingale 1889. In 1925 the Moscow State Jewish Theater suggested that the Goskino the Soviet State Film Studio produce a film adaptation of Sholem Aleichem's novel. The order was commissioned to Isaac Babel for translation and adaptation from the book's original Yiddish language to Russian for the screenplay. During this period Babel had been working on other translations of Yiddish literature into Russian including the collected works of Sholem Aleichem and work by David Bergelson. According to Babel's foreword printed here he faced a number of difficulties adapting the novel including the modification of petty bourgeoisie motifs as well as the changes of film directors and their differing requirements. Because of certain elements in the script of which the main committee of the Goskino did not approve the film's production had to ultimately be switched to VUFKU studios in Odessa. In a letter during the period of production Babel apparently wrote: "I will have to be present on the set. if I am not there the director will ruin everything" and later upon hearing of further changes made by Gritscher-Tscherikower wrote that "it is more profitable for me not to participate in this shameful production". Regardless of Babel's opinion of the final product the film was well received by Soviet audiences at the time. Text in Russian. Portfolio with minor wear. Wraps partially restored with minor wear.

This edition contains the full array of 31 querries. / "Newton's contributions to the science of optics :: his discovery of the unequal refractions of rays of different color his theory of color and his investigations of 'Newton's rings' to mention only a few of the most noteworthy :: place him among the premier contributors to that science. . . . Today we recognize that his work on optics offers unique rewards in its exciting innovative conjunction of physical theory experimental investigation and mathematics and in the revealing glimpse that it provides of a crucial period in the evolution of experimental science." :: Alan E. Shapiro The Optical Papers of Isaac Newton: Volume 1 1984 p. xi. / Jean-Louis Daudet 1695-1756 who made the frontispiece and title vignette was an engraver and print publisher active in Lyon inherited business from his father Etienne Joseph Daudet. He flourished from 1722 till his death in 1756. Thereafter the business continued by his widow in association with his son-in-law Louis Martin Roch Joubert until 1773. / "Newton famously declared that it is not the business of science to make hypotheses. However it's well to remember that this position was formulated in the midst of a bitter dispute with Robert Hooke who had criticized Newton's writings on optics when they were first communicated to the Royal Society in the early 1670's. The essence of Newton's thesis was that white light is composed of a mixture of light of different elementary colors ranging across the visible spectrum which he had demonstrated by decomposing white light into its separate colors and then reassembling those components to produce white light again. However in his description of the phenomena of color Newton originally included some remarks about his corpuscular conception of light perhaps akin to the cogs and flywheels in terms of which James Maxwell was later to conceive of the phenomena of electromagnetism. Hooke interpreted the whole of Newton's optical work as an attempt to legitimize this corpuscular hypothesis and countered with various objections." / "Newton quickly realized his mistake in attaching his theory of colors to any particular hypothesis on the fundamental nature of light and immediately back-tracked arguing that his intent had been only to describe the observable phenomena without regard to any hypotheses as to the cause of the phenomena. Hooke and others continued to criticize Newton's theory of colors by arguing against the corpuscular hypothesis causing Newton to respond more and more angrily that he was making no hypothesis he was describing the way things are and not claiming to explain why they are. This was a bitter lesson for Newton and in addition to initiating a life-long feud with Hooke went a long way toward shaping Newton's rhetoric about what science should be. . ." / "The first edition of The Opticks 1704 contained only 16 queries but when the Latin edition was published in 1706 Newton was emboldened to add seven more which ultimately became Queries 25 through 31 when in the second English edition he added Queries 17 through 24. Of all these one of the most intriguing is Query 28 which begins with the rhetorical question "Are not all Hypotheses erroneous in which Light is supposed to consist of Pression or Motion propagated through a fluid medium" In this query Newton rejects the Cartesian idea of a material substance filling in and comprising the space between particles. Newton preferred an atomistic view believing that all substances were comprised of hard impenetrable particles moving and interacting via innate forces in an empty space as described further in Query 31." :: Newton's Cosmological Queries :: MathPages. / Grace K.

This edition contains the full array of 31 querries. / "Newton's contributions to the science of optics :: his discovery of the unequal refractions of rays of different color his theory of color and his investigations of 'Newton's rings' to mention only a few of the most noteworthy :: place him among the premier contributors to that science. . . . Today we recognize that his work on optics offers unique rewards in its exciting innovative conjunction of physical theory experimental investigation and mathematics and in the revealing glimpse that it provides of a crucial period in the evolution of experimental science." :: Alan E. Shapiro The Optical Papers of Isaac Newton: Volume 1 1984 p. xi. / Jean-Louis Daudet 1695-1756 who made the frontispiece and title vignette was an engraver and print publisher active in Lyon inherited business from his father Etienne Joseph Daudet. He flourished from 1722 till his death in 1756. Thereafter the business continued by his widow in association with his son-in-law Louis Martin Roch Joubert until 1773. / "Newton famously declared that it is not the business of science to make hypotheses. However it's well to remember that this position was formulated in the midst of a bitter dispute with Robert Hooke who had criticized Newton's writings on optics when they were first communicated to the Royal Society in the early 1670's. The essence of Newton's thesis was that white light is composed of a mixture of light of different elementary colors ranging across the visible spectrum which he had demonstrated by decomposing white light into its separate colors and then reassembling those components to produce white light again. However in his description of the phenomena of color Newton originally included some remarks about his corpuscular conception of light perhaps akin to the cogs and flywheels in terms of which James Maxwell was later to conceive of the phenomena of electromagnetism. Hooke interpreted the whole of Newton's optical work as an attempt to legitimize this corpuscular hypothesis and countered with various objections." / "Newton quickly realized his mistake in attaching his theory of colors to any particular hypothesis on the fundamental nature of light and immediately back-tracked arguing that his intent had been only to describe the observable phenomena without regard to any hypotheses as to the cause of the phenomena. Hooke and others continued to criticize Newton's theory of colors by arguing against the corpuscular hypothesis causing Newton to respond more and more angrily that he was making no hypothesis he was describing the way things are and not claiming to explain why they are. This was a bitter lesson for Newton and in addition to initiating a life-long feud with Hooke went a long way toward shaping Newton's rhetoric about what science should be. . ." / "The first edition of The Opticks 1704 contained only 16 queries but when the Latin edition was published in 1706 Newton was emboldened to add seven more which ultimately became Queries 25 through 31 when in the second English edition he added Queries 17 through 24. Of all these one of the most intriguing is Query 28 which begins with the rhetorical question "Are not all Hypotheses erroneous in which Light is supposed to consist of Pression or Motion propagated through a fluid medium" In this query Newton rejects the Cartesian idea of a material substance filling in and comprising the space between particles. Newton preferred an atomistic view believing that all substances were comprised of hard impenetrable particles moving and interacting via innate forces in an empty space as described further in Query 31." :: Newton's Cosmological Queries :: MathPages. / Grace K.

1916réf. 169657London: The Paragon Printing Works 1916. His third and final collection of war poems First edition privately printed and scarce especially so in collectable condition. This copy was given as a gift by Rosenberg's patron Sydney Schiff to the actress Lydia Sherwood inscribed by him on the front wrapper verso "To Lydia Sherwood from Sydney S. Jan 24 '26". This copy has ten manuscript corrections to the text as usual possibly by Rosenberg's sister Mina. Rosenberg first met Schiff 1868-1944 a translator of Proust's Recherche and a modernist financier in the spring of 1915 and soon joined Eliot Joyce and Wyndham Lewis as one of his beneficiaries. "Schiff became Rosenberg's 'absentee' patron in the sense that he put no pressure on him to produce works in return for occasional support and he was available whenever Rosenberg needed him" Cohen p. 116. The two men both Jewish corresponded throughout Rosenberg's time in the trenches where the poet faced antisemitism from his superiors and his fellow privates. Rosenberg's "friendship with Schiff also contributed to his growing consciousness of being a Jew" p. 128 and following the publication of Moses Schiff was instrumental in distributing copies of the book in literary circles in London. Under Schiff's wing Rosenberg became one of the most celebrated British poets of the period noted in particular for his war poems several of which are printed here alongside the titular verse-drama. "Rosenberg's poems from the front show him to have absorbed the great tradition of English pastoral poetry but his tone is different: more impersonal informal ironic and lacking the indignation characteristic of the work of Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon. Rosenberg was killed on the western front near Fampoux north-east of Arras on 1 April 1918 and buried in an unmarked grave. His remains were discovered eight years later and reinterred under a headstone in the Bailleul Road east cemetery in Flanders" ODNB. Small octavo. Original yellow wrappers printed in black.
