rif. 25629‘Temple May 26’ no year. The interesting context of the present item is explained in a quotation from Antony Chessell’s 2009 biography of Hayward subtitled ‘one of the Two Best Read Men in England’ - the other was Macaulay subjoined to this entry. See also the entries for Hayward and Lewis in the Oxford DNB. 4pp 12mo. Bifolium. Sixty lines of text. In good condition lightly aged. Folded for postage. Addressed to ‘My dear Lewis’ and signed ‘A. Hayward’. He begins by expressing regret that ‘any misapprehension has arisen from the introduction of Sir J Graham’s name in the Memorandum. It certainly was not our intention to reiterate or revive directly or indirectly any charge against anyone. Sir R. Peel Sir J. Walsham & Mr Nott were involved in the charges as well as Sir J. Graham and yourself but as you are the sole prosecutor we to confine the arrangement exclusively to you.’ He continues on the same theme with reference to ‘Sir F. Thesiger’ ‘Charles Greville’ ‘the Adjutant General Macdonald’ ‘Lord John Manners’. Postscript: ‘I told you that Ferrand expressed himself perfectly satisfied and that there is not the remotest chance of his reviving the matter.’ The subject of the letter is Tory MP William Busfeild Ferrand 1809-1889. Chessell explains: ‘Two letters by Ferrand in The Times in August 1844 accused Sir James Graham Home Secretary under Sir Robert Peel from 1841 until 1846 and George Lewis of conspiring to produce a false report designed to discredit him as chairman of the Keighley Board of Guardians. This prompted Lewis to consider legal action but many other matters intervened and the final incentive to do so was only triggered in 1847. / ‘The Queen v. Ferrand Esq. M.P.’ was due to be heard in the Hilary Term between January and March 1847 but the trial was delayed to await Ferrand’s plea. In response Lewis denied any conspiracy between himself and Graham. Abraham Hayward who was not part of Lewis’s legal team then acted as an intermediary in persuading Ferrand to retract his letters. With Hayward acting for Lewis and Lord John Manners acting for Ferrand a statement was inserted in The Times on November 18th 1847 to include a formal memorandum in which Mr. Ferrand recognised that he had acted in haste and expressed regret that he had done so.’ ‘Temple May 26’ [no year]. unknown

Einstein Chronology. Name Index. Subject Index. DJ has wear tears soiling and chips. Abraham Pais May 19 1918 - July 28 2000 was a Dutch-born American physicist and science historian. Pais earned his Ph.D. from University of Utrecht just prior to a Nazi ban on Jewish participation in Dutch universities during World War II. When the Nazis began the forced relocation of Dutch Jews he went into hiding but was later arrested and saved only by the end of the war. He then served as an assistant to Niels Bohr in Denmark and was later a colleague of Albert Einstein at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton New Jersey. Pais wrote books documenting the lives of these two great physicists and the contributions they and others made to modern physics. He was a physics professor at Rockefeller University until his retirement. During World War II Pais's doctoral dissertation had attracted the attention of Niels Bohr who invited him to come to Denmark as his assistant. Pais was forced into hiding before he could leave the Netherlands. In 1946 following the war Pais was able to accept that invitation and served as a personal assistant to Bohr at his country home in Tisvilde for a year. In 1947 he accepted a position at the Institute for Advanced Study in the United States and thus became a colleague of Albert Einstein. "Subtle is the Lord—" won the 1983 U.S. National Book Award in Science. Since the death of Albert Einstein in 1955 there have been many books and articles written about the man and a number of attempts to "explain" relativity. Throughout the preparation of this book Pais has had complete access to the Einstein Archives and the invaluable guidance of the late Helen Dukas--formerly Einstein's private secretary. Written with Pais' intimate and incomparable knowledge of Einstein Subtle is the Lord will delight and inspire anyone fascinated by the man whose revolutionary ideas have defined modern physics. Subtle is the Lord is widely recognized as the definitive scientific biography of Albert Einstein. Pais was a distinguished physicist turned historian who knew Einstein both professionally and personally in the last years of his life. His biography combines a profound understanding of Einstein's work with personal recollections from their years of acquaintance illuminating the man through the development of his scientific thought. Pais examines the formulation of Einstein's theories of relativity his work on Brownian motion and his response to quantum theory with authority and precision. The profound transformation Einstein's ideas effected on the physics of the turn of the century is here laid out for the serious reader. Pais also fills many gaps in what we know of Einstein's life - his interest in philosophy his concern with Jewish destiny and his opinions of great figures from Newton to Freud. This remarkable volume written by a physicist who mingled in Einstein's scientific circle forms a timeless and classic biography of the towering figure of twentieth-century science. Albert Einstein 14 March 1879 - 18 April 1955 was a German-born theoretical physicist widely acknowledged to be one of the greatest physicists of all time. Einstein is best known for developing the theory of relativity but he also made important contributions to the development of the theory of quantum mechanics. Relativity and quantum mechanics are together the two pillars of modern physics. His mass-energy equivalence formula E = mc2 which arises from relativity theory has been dubbed "the world's most famous equation". His work is also known for its influence on the philosophy of science. He received the 1921 Nobel Prize in Physics "for his services to theoretical physics and especially for his discovery of the law of the photoelectric effect" a pivotal step in the development of quantum theory. His intellectual achievements and originality resulted in "Einstein" becoming synonymous with "genius" Oxford University Press hardcover
1659rif. ABC_47611Amsterdam: J. Rieuwertz 1659. Contemporary overlapping vellum. Small 8vo. With a woodcut title-vignette showing a witch on a broomstick leaving a house through the chimney 4.3 x 5.2 cm 13 etched full-page illustrations on 8 plates by Salomon Savry. An exceptionally rare first edition of a book focusing on the subjects of witchcraft sorcery demonology and black magic. The author passionately expresses his dissatisfaction with the brutalities inflicted upon individuals accused of being witches using vivid and disturbing illustrations as evidence. Notably the book features a captivating woodcut title vignette depicting a witch's daring escape through a chimney. In the image her legs hang from the opening inside the house while she simultaneously rises on her broom outside the chimney creating a striking visual effect. Abraham Palingh is a somewhat elusive figure in Early Modern Dutch literature and his book provides a fascinating insight into the attitudes of an educated man toward witchcraft. He claims that his 't Afgerukt Mom-aansight Der Tooverye is based on firsthand accounts. Information regarding the occurrence of harmful sorcery and attitudes towards sorcery in Amsterdam and Haarlem has been documented from the initial witchcraft trials to the point where such crimes were no longer a concern for the judiciary. Between 1542 and 1566 trials for harmful sorcery took place in Amsterdam while Haarlem witnessed similar trials in 1549. Historical accounts of both cities as well as Jacobus Scheltema's History of Witch Trials published in Haarlem in 1828 make mention of sorcery trials in Amsterdam. However these references often provide only superficial details despite the potential for valuable insights found in the actual procedural documents. Conversely little information about witchcraft in Haarlem can be gleaned from existing literature. Abraham Palingh author of 't Afrukt Mom-aansight der Tooverye published in Haarlem in 1659 briefly mentions a few cases of sorcery accusations that he claims to have personally known yet his accounts remain vague.The fine and copperplate illustrations were made by Salomon Savry 1594-1683. He was a recognised engraver of his time highly involved with the Amsterdam book industry of the seventeenth century. Some wear to binding. Ex libris from the library of Leontine Buijnsters-Smets.

In those years the only available land for them was at the outskirts of the eastern side of the Centrum the island of Vlooienburg surrounded by the Amstel River and the canals so they settled along the island's main street Breestraat which quickly became known as Jodenbreestraat. The Great Synagogue now the Jewish Historical Museum and the Portuguese-Israelite Synagogue were opened in 1671 and 1675 respectively. The Portuguese Synagogue was the place where Spinoza was placed under the ban by the Sephardic Jewish community in 1656.

rif. 91MGUB7YLZSDNetherlands 1740. Mounted in passepartout. A view in brown ink with light and dark grey watercolour washes on laid paper 16.5 x 21.5 cm with a manuscript caption at the head. Attractive view in brown ink with grey washes of the picturesque Kostverloren manor on the Amstel River just outside Amsterdam. The manor was originally built at the end of the 15th century. In 1650 it was severely damaged by fire but it was soon restored. In 1822 Kostverloren was razed. The manor was famously depicted by Rembrandt Ruisdael and also by Abraham Rademaker 1676/77-1735 one of the most important topographic artists of his day. Rademakers drawing closely matches the present view in style and shows the exact same scene from the trees on the left to the smaller house on the right. The only difference is the season: the trees depicted here are much fuller.Slightly foxed but otherwise in good condition.l Cf.
