NOTEBOOKS KEPT BY FEMALE STUDENT OF LOUIS AGASSIZ’S LECTURES 1. (Agassiz, Louis) Leonard, Eliza B. Two notebooks containing manuscript abstracts of lectures on the natural sciences, paleontology, geology and related subjects given by Louis Agassiz. Two notebooks. 144 & 288 pp. Handwritten in brown ink throughout. 19.6x16 cm. (7¾x6½”), marbled boards backed with sheep. Cambridge, Mass.: 1860-61 Neatly written abstracts of lectures given by the Swiss-born paleontologist, glaciologist, geologist and prominent innovator in the study of the Earth’s natural history. Jean Louis Rodolphe Agassiz (1807-1873) was professor of natural history in the University of Neuchâtel before relocating to the United States in 1846, becoming head of the Lawrence Scientific School at Harvard University in 1847. A widower, he married Elizabeth Cary, of a Boston Brahmin family, in 1850, and in 1856 she founded a school for girls from Boston in their home. Her husband supported her by giving courses as well as arranging for courses from other Harvard professors. It was at this school that the lectures were given, and on the first page of each notebook is written “Notes from Professor Agassiz’s lectures to the young ladies of his school. 1860. Eliza B. Leonard, Cambridge, Mass.” On the front covers of the notebooks are written “Book No. 4” and “Book No. 5” - Book 4 contains abstracts numbered 83 (Feb. 23) through 113 (April 20), and Book 5 continues 113 through 147 (June 28), then starts the second year with Abstract 1 (Sept. 27) through the partial Abstract 51 (Feb. 27). Miss Leonard has interspersed the written record with sketches, illustrating fossils and other objects covered in the lectures. The notebooks present a dual significance, capsulizing the lectures of one of the major figures in the study of natural history during the 19th century, and also showing in detail an aspect of female education that was certainly unusual at the time - an advanced study of natural science. Among other aspects, the notebooks show that Agassiz introduced the use of the microscope to his women students at a time when microscopes were a rarity except in research laboratories. Though Agassiz has been criticized for his adherence to creationism, and for his advocacy of polygenism (the belief that human races came from separate origins and were endowed with unequal attributes), he was nonetheless one of the leaders in his field in the mid-19th century. An excerpt: “Abstract 114, Monday April 23rd. I will devote this lecture to answering some questions asked me by some of the scholars of the geology class, of the soil that plants grow in now. What is the origin of the fertile soil? ... Soil to be fertile must be fine; plants do not grow in course pebbles. Part of these materials is the decomposition of other plants. So farmers should never remove the dried leaves from their grounds... It can be said in a general way that animals live on vegetables, and vegetables on minerals. Mineral substances are not all solid; they may be fluid, they may be soluble, they may be gas. Water is the principal element of which animals and plants are built...” Just a little rubbing to extremities, in fine condition. (3000/5000)

(8vo), original cloth, blind-stamped and gilt-lettered, top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed. First Edition. London: Longman, Rees, et al., 1836 “It’s impossible to overstress the importance of Ronalds...It is safe to say that no single book ever had the revolutionary effect on the angling world-that is, the actual practice of angling, as opposed to the recording of its annals-of The Fly-fisher’s Entomology in 1836...He threw a bridge, so to speak, across the practice of angling and the science of entomology [and] gave fly fishing for the first time a systematic and scientific basis of distinguishing one fly from another” (Gingrich, The Fishing in Print, pp. 112-13).

FIRST EDITION OF SAMUEL JOHNSON’S DICTIONARY 61. Johnson, Samuel.

(16x10”), period calf. First Edition. London: Printed by W. Strahan, for J. & P. Knapton, et al., 1755 First edition of Johnson’s Dictionary, possibly the most important book in the history of English. “Dr Johnson performed with his Dictionary the most amazing, enduring and endearing one-man feat in the field of lexicography…It is the dictionary itself which justifies Noah Webster’s statement that ‘Johnson’s writings had, in philology, the effect which Newton’s discoveries had in mathematics’. Johnson introduced into English lexicography principles which had already been accepted in Europe but were quite novel in mid-eighteenth-century England. He codified the spelling of English words; he gave full and lucid definitions of their meanings (often entertainingly coloured by his High Church and Tory propensities); and he adduced extensive and apt illustrations from a wide range of authoritative writers...but despite the progress made during the past two centuries in historical and comparative philology, Johnson’s book may still be consulted for instruction as well as pleasure” (Printing and the Mind of Man). Indeed, the labor and genius of Johnson’s production still awes us today. Over a period of eight years, “with no real library at hand, Johnson wrote the definitions of over 40,000 words...illustrating the senses in which these words could be used by including about 114,000 quotations drawn from English writing in every field of learning during the two centuries from the middle of the Elizabethan period down to his own time” (W. Jackson Bate, Samuel Johnson, NY 1977, p.247). The first edition was published in April 1755 in a printing of 2000 copies. PMM 201; Rothschild 1237.

London: C. & G. Kearsley, 1793 About a decade before Samuel Johnson established his reputation with the 1755 publication of his Dictionary, he was employed by Thomas Osborne to help catalogue the library of Edward Harly, the second Earl of Oxford, creating the Harleian Miscellany, which collects many 17th & early 18th Century religious and political pamphlets found in the Harley library. Some fifty years later, this abridgement was published due to the “scarcity and high price” of the original. Ownership signature of Archibald F.

It is in this work that Locke (1632-1704) lays the foundations of British empiricism and the concept of the mind as a tabula rasa. “Locke summed up the Enlightenment in his belief in the middle class and its right to freedom of conscience and right to property, in his faith in science, and in his confidence in the goodness of humanity. His influence upon philosophy and political theory has been incalculable” (Columbia Encyclopedia). Wing L2741; PMM 164 (for first edition); Yolton 63.

Boston: Published by the Society [i.e. The Female Medical Education Society], 1850 While this booklet was published a year after Elizabeth Blackwell became the first woman Doctor of Medicine in America – and the same year that the first national Woman’s Rights Convention was held in Massachusetts - the male author was neither sympathetic to the cause of women’s suffrage, nor did he even encourage women to follow in Dr. Blackwell’s footsteps. Rather, Gregory “disapproved of the practice of male physicians attending women at childbirth as an affront to feminine modesty”, and his Female Medical Education Society merely “sought to reinvigorate the practice of midwifery which was losing ground to the new medical specialty of Obstetrics”. Reprinted in 1854 and 1856, this original edition is rare. OCLC/WorldCat lists no copies, and only microform examples of the 1854 edition. A little foxing and soiling to wrappers and title-page; very good or better. (300/500)

There was some controversy regarding priority in the discovery and it is now recognized that Bell performed the early experiments, with Magendie and Mayo correcting and completing the research. The first edition of the present work was published at London in 1827. In the book Mayo discusses the physiology of the body’s systems and includes a long discussion of the Bell- Magendie controversy.” Heirs of Hippocrates, 1538 Some light foxing and offsetting, very good in a fine modern binding.

Page 21 83. (Medical - French) Three documents relating to French medicine. Includes: Lisfranc, Dr. Jacques. Document Signed, as President of the French Royal Academy of Medicine. Paris, March 31, 1835. Notifying Dr. Hering of Stuttgart that he had been honored with appointment as a Correspondent of the Royal Academy because of his “zeal for the progress of medical science.” Jacques Lisfranc de St. Martin (1790-1847) was a distinguished French Surgeon and Gynecologist who pioneered several surgical procedures, which were named after him; Garrison and Morton cite his 1815 description of a new method for amputation of the foot, probably devised while he was a young military Surgeon serving in Napoleon’s Army. The Doctor honored by this document, Edward August von Hering was an obscure German Veterinarian whose expertise in the treatment of thoroughbred horses had won him Prussian Royal distinction. Ironically, that same month, Dr. Lisfranc sent an identical letter to the great British Chemist and Physicist Michael Faraday. * Landre-Beauvais, Augustin Jacob. Document Signed - possibly with a stamp - as “Doyen de la Faculte”. Printed Ticket of Admission to a course at the University of France School of Medicine, 1828-1829. Dr. Landre-Beauvais (1772-1840) was a French Surgeon best known for his 1800 description of Rheumatoid Arthritis, the first modern- day account of the disease (Garrison-Morton 4490). Curiously, the back of this ticket has a printed admonition that it was forbidden to enter the Medical School with a cane or weapons. * Pean, Jules Emile. Autograph Note Signed in French on front and verso of his printed calling card (“Le Docteur Pean / Membre de l’Academie de Medicine / Chirurgien des Hospitaux”) [Paris], October 20, 1895. To Madame Verity, making an appointment. French Physician Surgeon Jules Emile Pean (1830-1898) performed the first successful ovariotomy in France; claimed to have invented the hemostatic forceps; and is credited by Garrison and Morton with pioneering operations for removing tumors from the stomach and uterus. Many of his writings are medical classics. Together, 3 items. c.1828-1895 Interesting group of items relating to three leading French medical practitioners of the 19th century. Very good or better condition. (150/250)

84. (Medical - Naval) Norris, George W., M.D. Autograph Letter Signed, to Dr. George Clymer, Naval Surgeon aboard the USS Cyane, Norfolk, Virginia. 16 lines, in ink, 1-page + integral stampless address leaf. (4to). Philadelphia: August 10, 1841 Letter introducing Clymer to Robert Stevenson, who had spent three years as a nurse at the Frankford Asylum for the Insane, a respectable, honest and sober young man who would join the ship as Clymer’s assistant, bringing with him a “vaccine scab…taken from a healthy child” who had recovered from the yellow fever which reached epidemic proportions in the US that year. It’s unknown if Stevenson was aboard the Cyane (as Clymer was) a year later when the warship sailed into Monterey Bay and mistakenly “captured” California from Mexico. Fine condition. (100/150)

85. (Medical - Nursing) Wildenbruch, Ludwig von. Autograph Letter Signed (in French), as Prussian Ambassador to Ottoman Turkey, relating to medical treatment and nursing in the Crimean War, with veiled reference to the accomplishments of Florence Nightingale. 2 pages, on 4-page stampless lettersheet, addressed on p.4. 27x21.5 cm. (10½x8½”), Pera [Contantinople], Turkey: March 29, 1855 Von Wildenbruch writes to British Ambassador Lord Stratford (Canning) de Redcliffe, thank- ing him for allowing Dr. Morris to inspect the English Hospital at Constantinople, where he felt great “admiration” for the care of the “brave sick and wounded soldiers” who were being treated there, though he had doubts about the “too great abundance” of patients. A year before, Britain and France, allied with Turkey, Germany and Austria, declared war on imperial Russia. After fighting began on the Crimean coast of the Black Sea, the allied troops suffered greatly during the winter of 1854-55 from lack of fuel, clothing and supplies. Hearing in London of the hor- rible conditions of the British wounded, in November 1854, 35 year-old Florence Nightingale took 38 British women volunteer nurses to staff an overcrowded British military hospital near Constantinople, hundreds of miles from the battlefields. The nurses - who were not welcomed

Page 22 by the male Army Doctors - found a shortage of medicine and food and such awful sanitary conditions that many of the evacuated wounded were dying of typhus, cholera and dysentery. Not until March 1855, after the inspection of a British Sanitary Commission, did improved Hospital sanitation and ventilation begin to reduce the high death rate. The (apparently) Ger- man doctor, who visited the Hospital that same month with credentials from Ambassador von Wildenbruch was perturbed by the overcrowding. But he could only praise the care given the patients, thanks - though this diplomatically-worded letter neglects to mention it - to Florence Nightingale, known poetically as “the Lady with the Lamp”. Some creasing and wear along one edge, very good. (150/250)

86. (Medical - Quarantine Island, New York) DeWitt, Benjamin. Autograph Letter, signed, from the doctor on New York City’s first “Quarantine Island” for immigrants. Autograph Letter, signed. 2 pages plus integral address leaf. [Staten Island, NY]: May 17, 1817 Address to “The Commissioners of Health, New York, care of Mr. Roonie”. “I have been negotiating with the Mr. Humphreys…and the most favorable terms I can obtain from them for doing the work we require is $800. For that sum they will engage to make a substantive stone wall along the beach and fill it in to High water nearly, and also to regulate the ground and road adjacent, and cover the Quarantine wharf with a sufficient coat of earth. The new wharf along the line fence is not included in this estimate, they say it will cost $100 more to have that covered… The other work is indispensable and they say it cannot be done for less. They wish to have an answer on Monday next…you should let me know by one of the first boats on the morning of Monday, or else perhaps you may find it convenient to come down in person on Monday and decide on the matter here, which I should prefer.” Two years after Dr. Benjamin DeWitt wrote this letter, New York high society was shocked to learn that he had died in the course of his official duties as the second Health Officer of the Port of New York, having accepted that un-coveted post after serving as Surgeon to Army regiments guarding New York City against the British during the War of 1812. Before that, he had been Private Secretary to his relative, New York Governor George Clinton, later Vice President of the United States under Thomas Jefferson. The Doctor himself was socially prominent and politically active in the Tammany Society. Also founding editor of the New York Medical Journal and Professor at the State University of New York, his professional credentials were impeccable. So it was out of pure public spirit that Dewitt accepted his burdensome work on that section of Staten Island set aside to quarantine newly-arrived ship’s passengers diagnosed with deadly diseases like cholera, typhoid and yellow fever – which ultimately led to his own death. Creased from mailing, light wear; very good. (150/250)

Fessenden from John Tappan and C.H. Hamlin at the top of the front wrapper: Cyrus Hamlin, later founder of Robert College in Istanbul and a relation of Lincoln’s future Vice President; John Tappan, brother of the rich abolitionist who would bankroll defense of the Amistad slave rebels; and the recipient, Samuel Clement Fessenden, later Civil War Congressman whose brother would be Lincoln’s Secretary of the Treasury.

98. (Napoleon in Egypt) Mourad Bey. Four French translations of his letters to “our great” and “excellent friend”, the French commander of the “Province of Fistat” (Cairo, Egypt). Various sizes, totaling five pages. Two have Islamic dates, one (10 Muharam 1215) clearly corresponds to June 2, 1800, the other probably dating from April-May of that year. Egypt: c.1800 Murad Bey (1750-1801) was an Egyptian Cavalry Commander who was joint ruler of Egypt when Napoleon invaded the country in 1798, defeating Murad’s Mamluks at the Battle of the Pyramids and occupying Cairo. Murad then fled to Upper Egypt and mounted a guerilla campaign against the French, while Napoleon himself hurriedly returned to France, leaving the French forces under the command of General Jean Baptiste Kleber. Failing to sign an armistice with the Ottoman Turks who next invaded Egypt with British support, and faced with a native uprising in Cairo, in March 1800, Kleber desperately negotiated a peace with Murad, who became the French Republic’s Governor General of Upper Egypt. Kleber then defeated the Turks on March 20, and, with Murad’s support, quelled the Cairo revolt in April. These documents appear to be contemporary French translations of flowery letters Murad sent to Kleber from the beginning of their alliance until Kleber was assassinated by an Egyptian fanatic on June 14, 1800. After Murad renewed his alliance with Kleber’s successor, a French convert to Islam, the French enjoyed nine months of peace in Cairo until the British invaded the country in 1801. Murad then agreed to come to Cairo to aid the French but while en route, he contracted bubonic plague and died on April 7, 1801. Contemporary French documents from this unhappy two years of French rule in Cairo after Napoleon’s abandonment are both rare and historically significant as Murad’s original correspondence with Kleber has apparently not survived. Very good or better. (600/900)

Page 32 RARE MANUSCRIPT OF ROLEWINCK’S WORLD HISTORY IN GRAND FORMAT, C.1471 124. Rolewinck, Werner. Fasciculus temporum – manuscript on vellum. 30 leaves, vellum, plus blanks at front and rear. In Latin. Handwritten in brown and red ink, with numerous roundels in red; three miniature paintings in colors, one of them with gold leaf; large, elaborate initial in red and blue leading off the text, several smaller initials in red or blue. 43.5x30.5 cm. (17¼x12”), 17th century paneled calf with gilt tooling, paper endpapers and flyleaves. In custom-made quarter leather and cloth folding box. c.1471-1473 Extremely rare manuscript on vellum of the Fasciculus temporum - one of only thirteen known manuscript copies and the only known copy in private hands - done in grand format. Written by the 15th century monk and historian Werner Rolewinck (1425–1502), the Fasciculus is a history of the world with dual parallel timelines dating both from creation and the birth of Christ. The first history of the world to be printed (by Arnold ther Hoernen, in Cologne in 1474) the Fasciculus was immensely popular, going through 30 editions before 1500, and has the claim to be the bestselling 15th century book by a contemporary author. The Fasciculus was apparently the second publication of a living author, seeming to be predated only by Robertus Valturius’ De re militari (1472). The evolution of the work from manuscript to printed version is a key question for scholars. According to the colophon of the 1474 first edition, Rolewinck provided the Cologne printer Arnold ther Hoernen with a manuscript- layout for his use. In translation the colophon of the printed edition reads, “following the first exemplar which this venerable author himself wrote by hand completely.” Given that so few pre-publication manuscripts of the Fasciculus are extant (only seven of the thirteen known manuscripts predate the printed book), any example is an aid to helping scholarship resolve this issue. The dating of this manuscript is in part dependent on the fact that 1464 is the final date recorded in the chronology, whereas the printed text ends with 1474. Of further note is the large size of the present manuscript, done in “Grand Format,” dwarfing the printed version. The leaves are 43.5 cm. (17¼”) tall, much larger than the Lot 124 29 cm. (11½”) of the 1474 printed version. This allows fuller utilization of the elaborate roundel format, with an elegance and beauty not available in the printed version. This grand format is a characteristic of the pre-publication manuscripts only - post- 1474 manuscripts typically followed the smaller format of the printed book. The printed version did have a series of small woodcut illustrations, markedly different from the three beautifully executed miniature paintings in this manuscript, which are of Joseph, Mary and the baby Jesus in the manger; Christ nailed to the cross; and a resurrected Christ, a halo of tooled gold leaf surrounding his head, holding a gold leaf orb that is also delicately tooled. A minor stain to the front cover; light marginal stain to blank vellum leaf at front, smaller light stain to first leaf of text touching about four words; some faint offset within and slight bleeding from dampness, still in fine condition. With modern symbolic bookplate on front pastedown, “Philosophia Hermetica.” Of great rarity, a unique opportunity. (100000/150000) Page 33 125. (Russian) Balieff, Nikita.

It can then be determined whether the item or items under consideration would do well at auction. Following this, arrangements can be made for the delivery of the material to PBA. In the case of large consignments or libraries, a member of the staff may be able to view the books on location, and make arrangements for its transportation to PBA Galleries. Because of the costs involved, PBA discourages consignments with a total value of less than $1500. The frequency of auctions, and variety of subject matter, allows PBA Galleries to ensure quick turn-around time for items consigned. Books can appear at auction as quickly as 30 days and generally not more than 90 days following consignment. Commissions vary between 10% and 15%, depending on the selling price of an item.These commissions encompass all related costs including insurance, storage, cataloguing, illustrations, etc., except shipping. Payment is sent within 20 banking days of an auction.
