1819réf. 010456St. Louis Missouri 1819. Envelope or Cover. Very good. This stampless folded letter measures 7.5” x 12”. It is datelined “St. Louis 14 August 1819” and was sent to Moses Taylor at Mount Vernon Ohio in care of the towns postmaster Henry B. Curtis by Aaron T. Crane and Abraham Beck early St. Louis land agents whose business the Western Land Agency was located in the rear of the Bank of St. Louis at 58 South Main Street where Crane also served as the St. Louis Postmaster only the third since the position was established in 1808. The letter’s two-line typeset postmark was the earliest used in St. Louis and the Spink Shreve Auction #121 reports that only four examples are known to have survived. Taylor or Curtis for him apparently had asked Crane and Beck if they knew the whereabouts of a relative probably a son. It reads in part: “Yours . . . was duly received and we made immediate enquiries . . . to return an answer as soon aspossible still owing to the number of strangers who daily arrive & pass through this place we were unable to discover Mr. Taylor matching the name you provided. However a person answering your description by the name Moses Taylor a carpenter by trade is in this place. He is doing well & has been making some money & has good employment. We said nothing to Mr. Taylor yet. Yours Respectfully / Crane & A. Beck” . No online information is available about the Ohio Turners and little is known about Crane and Beck other than that Beck was the son of a New York physician and Crane had served as an army or militia captain during the War of 1812. For more information see Billon’s Annals of St. Louis in its Territorial Days Heritage Auctions Sale #3547 of 1 November 2017 and Horstman’s “William T. O’Hara Missouri Territorial Banker” in the “Missouri Paper Money Clip File” at Washington University Volume 1 of the American Stampless Cover Catalog and on-line genealogical records for Crane Beck and Curtis. An exceptionally scarce and important letter regarding life in early American St. Louis as the city was growing rapidly. The physical records for the Western Land Agency which have been microfilmed and digitized are held by the Library of Congress. At the time of listing only one other letter from Beck held by the St. Louis Mercantile Library at the University of Missouri in St. Louis and one document signed by Crane a 6-cent Post Office scrip note are known to have survived. . unknown books

"We pass our time here in Boston. the frequent application for appointments of both proper and improper candidates is rather an uncomfortable circumstance; but not so distressing as in affixing the time when convicts shall live no longer. to determine whether a convict shall die or not. It is probable we shall have the trial of both soon as there has been three capital convictions since I was here; one for murder and two for highway robbery. Those trials I attended; a Mr. Simmons formerly of Taunton as I am told managed the Defence; I can not record him as possessing great oratorical abilities but for integrity of arrangement and strength and argument perhaps no man of his years stands higher." Boston was incorporated March 4 1822 and the same year the Boston Police Court for criminal cases and Justice's Court for the County of Suffolk for civil claims were established. 2 Holmes's Letter to Francis Baylies dated at Boston March 28 1822.

BIRTH OF EXPERIMENTAL BIOLOGY FIRST EDITION! Abraham Trembley 1710-1784 Scientist Philosopher and Pioneer of Experimental Zoology from Geneva discovered the regenerative powers of the polyp and photosensitivity in an animal without eyes and he was the first to witness cell-division anddiscovered Hydra. Trembley was the first person to show that certain animals can be artificially multiplied by Division the first to make permanent grafts on animal tissues the first to prove by rigorous experiment that asexual reproduction by budding occurs in animals and the first to witness cell-division: he also discovered the process by which Protozoa multiply. These are only a few of his contributions to biological knowledge. A large part of his research was concerned with the little fresh-water polyp hydra an animal of particular importance today because it is one of the standard "types" used all over the world in teaching elementary biology to students of science medicine and agriculture. At the time of publication the immediate philosophical repercussions were even more startling animal soul was clearly shown to be material. The heterogenetic origin of life seemed to be confirmed. Bonnet suggested that the polyp bridged the animal and vegetable kingdoms nullifying their supposedly complete separation. Later he declared the polyp to be the key to the interpretation of nature.

Édition originale de ce texte écrit à quatre mains et publié sous le nom de Constantin seul. Stendhal surnommait cet ami proche "Tantin", "Tantincons" ou encore "Constantin Porcelaine", en référence à son activité. Ils furent compagnons au cours du long séjour italien de Beyle commencé en 1836. La part des deux auteurs est désormais bien établie, grâce aux travaux de Sandra Teroni et Hélène de Jacquelot, publiés en préface de la réédition des Idées italiennes (Paris, Beaux-Arts de Paris, 2013). Plusieurs observations ajoutées par Stendhal sont parfois empruntées aux Promenades dans Rome ou à l'Histoire de la peinture en Italie.

Good dark impression; clean and bright tiny pin prick wormhole by "Falconera". Abraham Ortelius 1527-1598 Flemish Cartographer . produced the first modern Atlas "Theatrum Orbis Terrarum" in 1570. printed by Aegidus Coppen Diest. There were numerous editions thereafter with texts in various languages; the printing of such was taken over by Chrstoffel Plantijn in 1579 . Ortelius himself drew all the maps in manuscript before passing them to the printers. there is conjecture that he may have engraved some of the plates as well The 1595 Latin text edition is the most complete produced during his lifetime containing all the maps of the 1593 edition plus those of the the"Additamentum" and the"Pareragon" or Ancient geography. The " Additamenta" were supplements to the original Atlas; at the same time Ortelius replaced some maps with new ones showing the same place; some plates were also reworked . Ortelius was Geographer Royal To Phillip II of Spain from 1575. He also worked closely with Braun & Hogenburg on the "Civitas Orbis Terarum".
