A Typed Letter, Signed
Washington DC, 1898. One page on War Department stationery measuring 5" x 7.75"; To Allen Bourn of the New York Central Railroad referring to rails the Government may purchase. Alger was Secretary of War during the Spanish American War. Russell Alexander Alger (February 27, 1836 – January 24, 1907) was a Governor and U.S. Senator from the state of Michigan and also U.S. Secretary of War during the Presidential administration of William McKinley. He was supposedly a distant relation of Horatio Alger; although Russell Alger lived his own "rags-to-riches" success tale, eventually becoming a financier, lumber baron, railroad owner, and government official in several high offices. Very good .

The natural history of Aleppo.London, printed for G. G. and J. Robinson, 1794. 4to With an engraved frontispiece and 20 numbered engraved plates (including 5 folding) on 19 sheets. Contemporary calf with gold-tooled spine labels, red edges.
XXIV, 446, XXIII, [3]; VII, [1], 430, XXXIV, [26] pp.Second edition of an authoritative account of Aleppo and Ottoman life and manners, based on Russell's experience as physician to the British factory in Aleppo from 1740 to 1753. Enlarged with 3 additional plates compared to the 1756 first edition. Includes an engraved frontispiece with a view of the city, a plan by Carsten Niebuhr (vol. I, plate I), and an additional plate showing fish (vol. II, plate VI). Apart from the Syrian flora and fauna and as the local climate, Russell's monograph discusses the everyday life of the local population, including that of European merchants living in Aleppo, the organisation of their trade activity, and their social life. He also includes a section on the plague and other epidemic diseases in the 1740s. The descriptions of the education system, the production of manuscripts, and the commercial activity in Syria are unusually detailed and unique in contemporary travel literature on the Ottoman Empire (cf. Chatzipanagioti-Sangmeister). The botanical plates were produced by G. D. Ehret, and one plate of fish bears the name of W. Skelton, while other plates, including those depicting birds and domestic life, are unsigned, but were probably produced by Russell himself.A charmingly bound set documenting an era of scientific and economic prosperity in Syria.Binding lightly scuffed; interior fresh and extremely well preserved.l Blackmer 1458; Chatzipanagioti-Sangmeister 893; Cox I, 227; ESTC T149605; Navari 1458; Nissen BBI 3534; cf.
