1832réf. 2902New York: Jonathan Leavitt printed by G. P. Scott and Co 1832. Good. 8vo in 4's. 4 9-40 pp. Bound in sympathetic wrappers evidence of stab-stitching. Foxing and browning throughout as is true in all copies. An interesting sermon preached in the midst of the 1832 cholera epidemic in New York complete with the characteristic "fire and brimestone" judgments on the sins of the people. Cholera reached the Western Hemisphere during the second pandemic 1829-1851. Many contemporary journalistic sources associated the disease with "large numbers of Irish and other emigrants" a "class of persons particularly exposed and carrying the disease wherever they go." This particular sermon preached upon Isaiah 26:9 "When thy judgments are in the earth the inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness" lays the blame not on recent emigrants but rather on a wicked and atheistic generation who no longer fear God and has forgotten Him. "Most were thought to have willfully weakened their bodies through unwholesome ways of life and were now being punished for their sins. According to religious leaders the three prominent abominations of the time were sabbath-breaking intemperance and debauchery and cholera was viewed as here as a disease of "'mental and corporeal debility.'" The preacher Gardiner Spring 1785-1873 was an American minister of the Brick Presbyterian Church from his ordination in 1809 until his death as well as prolific religiou author. He is perhaps most famous for his Gardiner Spring Resolutions which effectively precipitated the creation of the Presbyterian Church of the Confederate States of America and the schism of the Presbyterian Church along regional lines which lasted from the American Civil War until 1983.

1850réf. BK0017Sacramento City California 1850. Autograph letter signed "Sam'l Locke" to his wife in Belfast Maine. 6 pp. Stampless folded letter with clear circular "SACRAMENTO CITY / CAL." postmark and "40" rate handstamp; manuscript notation recording receipt in Maine on December 19 1850. Light soiling; very good. A bleak California Gold Rush letter written during the 1850 Sacramento cholera epidemic by Samuel Locke a Maine emigrant suffering from prolonged fever and unable to regain his strength. Surrounded by sickness failed mining ventures violent crime and men too poor or ill to return home Locke plans to seek recovery in the Sandwich Islands while relying upon his religious faith for consolation. Locke had been ill since August and was now so weak that ordinary work exhausted him: "My limbs or legs are very weak short breath and no appetite at all. I have no desire to eat anything not one thing I can think of. I have no strength to go into any business or to do any. I do a few little chores round or about the store occasionally but to sweep the store it beats me all out . O how I long to get out of this place. Can't get any strength don't know as I can anywhere but I long to try." Friends advised him to spend the winter in the Sandwich Islands. He expected to travel first to San Francisco and then make the fifteen- to twenty-day passage to Hawaii though he feared that continued illness might leave him unable either to support himself there or return to Maine. He states that he will "trust in providence yes trust in God who I feel is my only refuge". Locke gives a grim account of California's climate and the spread of cholera through Sacramento claiming that the climate in California prevented the sick from recovering their strength as the "air is very light & bad middle of the day very hot and nights very cool." The previous week's report had stated forty dead but "nothing near all the cases were reported" with Locke himself knowing of several unreported cases personally. A local blacksmith died overnight after his companions borrowed Locke's syringe and "We can hardly see a healthy looking individual in the streets." The letter also records the uncertain fortunes of men from Locke's home region scattered through the mines. William Beckett and his partners had spent the summer constructing a mining dam had struck gold on the first day and then immediately "the dam was washed away so they lost all their summer's labor." Other acquaintances had moved to Kelsey's Bar the southern mines or Oregon or were preparing to return east by way of Panama. Some remained convinced that California would reward perseverance while others had "seen enough" after accomplishing nothing. Locke regarded success as largely accidental: "Thousands are here and in the mines who want to get home and cannot-not able to do seamen's duty and no money to pay but they have got to stay in the mines and do the best they can. Some it is true have been lucky. It is all luck. If they happen to hit a good place they do well." News that cholera had entered the mining districts increased his alarm. Locke feared especially for men living in tents as the rainy season approached with poor food and little protection from exposure. Sacramento itself was marked by nightly violence: "There are murders or robberies about every night. One man killed in front of our house a few nights ago. We heard him holler and heard the blows. Next morning he died. His head was dreadfully mangled." Locke closes with an emotional message to his wife and children. His health finances and prospects all appeared uncertain and he repeatedly asked his family and church to pray for him: "Tell the dear Children to be good and if they never see me again when I am gone they will have the satisfaction . of knowing they acted as thy Father requested . Pray for me ask the Church to pray for me indeed I know I have your prayers and you have mine often." A particularly bleak account of the human cost of the California Gold Rush documenting epidemic disease physical collapse failed mining schemes violent crime religious faith and the predicament of emigrants unable to escape California after their health and resources were exhausted. . unknown

Report was not published before such as that. Roumi: 1327 = Gregorian: 1910. The Ottoman land represented a bridge between Asia and Europe, which was destroyed by epidemic diseases that emerged in different periods. In the 19th century, the main source of epidemic was the cholera morbus that emerged in India in the lower Bengal delta between the Ganges and Brahmaputra rivers. At the beginning of the 19th century, the disease became a global threat. Cholera epidemic appeared for the first time in the Ottoman territory in 1822, and continued to emerge into intermediate outbreaks. Due to its geographical location, the cholera epidemic was easily spread to the Ottoman territory and caused great losses in the 19th century, when it became a global threat. At the beginning of the 20th century, still cholera was a serious problem. Prokopi is a settlement in Central Asia Minor, built on a plateau at an altitude of 1,200 m above sea level. It lies near the confluence of four tributary rivers of the Alys River (Kizilirmak), which flows to the north of Ürgüp, within about 10 km from the settlement. It has been claimed that the word Ürgüp is the Turkish version of the Greek name Prokopi. The latter is supposed to refer to St. Prokopios, although there is no evidence suggesting the existence of a namesake church. Levidis supported that the ancient name of the settlement was Osiana, which the traveller Texier (Charles) adopted as well. Ürgüp was inhabited by Muslims, Turkish-speaking Greek-Orthodox and some Armenians. Several conflicting opinions have been stated about the population. Farasopoulos talks about 15,000 Muslims and 5,000 Christians. According to an inventory carried out by the state in 1919, Ürgüp was inhabited by 12,500 Muslims, 6,000 Christian-Orthodox and 15-20 Armenian families.

Étant donné son cadrage et sa proximité, ce portrait mortuaire a sans doute été effectué par un proche de Pasteur; il ne s'agit pas d'une prise de vue officielle. Louis Pasteur, né le 27 décembre 1822, meurt le 28 septembre 1895 à 16h40 à Villeneuve-l'Étang, dans l'annexe dite « de Garches » de l'Institut Pasteur, où il s'installait souvent l'été. Sa chambre y est toujours conservée. Des funérailles nationales lui sont réservées le 5 octobre suivant, au cours desquelles son corps, préalablement embaumé, est déposé dans la crypte de Notre-Dame de Paris. En 1896, à la demande de son épouse, son corps fut placé dans la crypte de l'Institut où il repose au milieu de ses disciples. Un masque mortuaire est visible dans la crypte. Un négatif sur plaque de verre montrant la chambre mortuaire prise en 1926 est conservé au Département Estampes et photographie à la BnF (8/5/26, la chambre mortuaire de Pasteur à Garches : photographie de presse / Agence Rol.) Un cliché mortuaire montrant Pasteur sur son lit de mort en présence de ses petits enfants a été publié en 1956 par sa petite-fille Camille: Pasteur Vallery-Radot, Images de la vie et de l'oeuvre, p. 158 (document photographique provenant de la collection Pasteur Vallery-Radot). Le carton sur lequel est contrecollé le portrait de Pasteur porte un fin liseret rouge d'encadrement, le bord supérieur du tirage est accidenté.
