Description:
Small quarto, 2 pages, with a conjugate blank leaf. Thin strip of tissue-paper on the outside rear page, and minimal loss to this blank leaf near the centre of the hinge (both as a result of having been mounted in, then removed from, an album); light creases where folded in four for posting; in excellent condition. Humboldt writes to introduce the geologist Alexandre Brongniart, remembering with gratitude the assistance rendered by le Duc to himself and his friends and collaborators, [Louis Joseph] Gay-Lussac and [Christian Leopold von] Buch. He hopes that M. Brongniart, 'l'homme célèbre', who wishes to visit Vesuvius and the lava flows of Ischia, will be afforded similar kindnesses. Nicola Filomarino, duca della Torre and principe di Boiano, devoted much of his scientific career to the study of Vesuvius and the volcanology of Campania. In August 1805 he accompanied Humboldt to the crater of Vesuvius, with Humboldt's journal recording that his observations were made with the aid of the Duke's…

Autograph Letter Signed on Tuskegee Institute Stationery 1932
by Carver, George Washington

Carver, George Washington, Autograph Letter Signed, "G. W. Carver" Dated "Jan[uary] 22, [19]32." A full-page letter written in ink in Dr. Carver's characteristic cursive script on the official letterhead of the Research and Experimental Station of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, founded by Booker T. Washington, "for the training of colored young men and women," in Alabama, Robert Moton, Principal, William Carter, Treasurer, with the official envelope in Dr. Carver's hand. Both the letter and the envelope are in fine condition.
A personal, intimate letter written to Gready Porter at Fort Gaines, Georgia, postmarked "January 23, 1932 6:00 P.M. Tuskegee Institute," Dr. Carver wrote to express his concern over Mr. Porter's well-being: "You have so many little set backs in your health from time to time that I believe you ought to take a few massages. I looked at you the other day and your circulation seemed poor." He closes the letter with news of his up-coming lecture tour in Indiana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, and Colorado, in all "a 15 day trip."
George Washington Carver (1861? – 1943) was born into slavery in in Diamond Grove, Newton County, near Crystal Place, now known as Diamond Missouri thus beginning life as "Carver's George," the property of one Moses Carver, in 1861 or January 1864, during the American Civil War (1861-1865). Motivated by the eco-crisis of cotton as a collapsed cash crop, due to the destruction of the war, naval blockades, soil depletion and the boll weevil, Dr. Carter was motivated as a scientist and as a botanist to discover multiple uses for other cash crops that would not only provide nourishment for newly emancipated farmers but also create a market demand for crops from which industrial products could be extracted. For his efforts, Dr. Carver was called "a black Leonardo" by Time magazine in 1941.
Dr. Carver began his undergraduate career as a piano and art student, with a pronounced talent for drawing plants and flowers with accuracy. He was encouraged to study botany at Iowa State Agricultural College in Ames, Iowa, where he remained, earning a Bachelor's Degree in 1894 with the thesis "Plants as Modified by Man" and later a Master's Degree. Dr. Carver did work at the Iowa Agricultural Experimental Station in plant pathology and plant mycology and became the first black member of the College faculty.
Recruited to the Tuskegee Institute by Booker T. Washington, one of Dr. Carver's first innovations was to take education to the farmers in his "Jesup Wagons," so-named for the philanthropist Morris Ketcham Jesup. In the last two decades of his life, Dr. Carver enjoyed world-wide fame and attracted prominent people to serve on his Board of Trustees. The names listed on the letterhead of this letter are: William Jay Schieffelin, W. W. Campbell, Charles E. Mason, Julius Rosenwald, William M. Scott, Warren Logan, A. J. Wilborn, Robert R. Moton, Charles A. Wickersham, C.E. Thomas, Irving S. Merrell, Paul M. Warburg, William H. Carter, Edgar B. Stern, Henry S. Bowers, Winthrop W. Aldrich, John H. Drakeford, and one woman, Mrs. William G. Willcox.-

Description:
Small Octavo. Bound in maroon limp calf, rubbed, scuffed, and well used but still strong. Internally a little grubby and smudged by handling, much as might be expected of a working kitchen book. 22pp. of handwritten recipes, rather enthusiastically jammed onto each page as if the author was afraid of running out of space, there's a rather youthful exuberance to the putting together of this little pocket recipe book. The recipes are dominated by cakes, puddings and breads, including Raspberry Fool, and various sponge cakes, with some complex preserved meat dishes like Calves' Feet Jelly, and a recipe for Mock Turtle Soup involving a Calf's Head with the skin on. The spelling is a little erratic, the composition pretty makeshift, but that doesn't detract from it being a handy little household reference.

Description:
Each letter written to Francis Lawrence Bickley, author of The Adventures of Harlequin which was one of early fine books he illustrated. Each written on his letterhead John Austen. The September letter is not dated by year but from internal evidence points to 1925 when his "Rogues in Porcelain" was issued by Chapman and Hall. Austen writes that he is glad he thinks well of the "Rogues" and I look forward to your criticism of it. [In a case of apparent censorship, he writes:] "A[rthur]. Waugh, publisher of Chapman and Hall, is [desolatest?] because forsooth I have included "The Dove" its evidently the first line he had read it, as he knew well that I was to use it and now he says its indecent and will probably stop sales. I suggest it only increases them. I will certainly tell him to include the Bookman in his list but probably has already done so." He goes on to note: "I enclose the proof of your story which I enjoyed muchly--wish I could decorate a volume of such. Certainly, I will do something with…

Description:
N.p.: N.p., 1883. Hardcover. Narrow 4to (8" X 13"). Calf spine and pebbled paper over boards. 180pp. Good plus. Quite edgeworn and rubbed, with rounded outer corners, but calf strong and nice; fairly tight and unrestored, fully handleable. This typically cryptic ledger book hails from Ulysses S. Grant's adopted hometown of Galena in Jo Daviess County, an important lead mining center at one time thought to become the great hub of Midwest commerce. Consisting of pages lined in blue and red, the first 170 pages each bear a large "Trial Balance" and date penned boldly in brown ink -- the largest column beneath consisting of a row of names of individuals, businesses and institutions and two columns of numbers to the right of this. All are immaculately penned in the same quite attractive and legible hand. Perusing these pages one finds many a notable citizen of the day -- S.O. Stillman, John Nichols, B.F. Felt, others -- and an array of businesses -- to name a few, one finds regular entries for Merchandise…
