Author: JEANS, James H. (1877-1946)
Title: Signature
Description: Influential English mathematician, physicist and astronomer at Cambridge and Princeton, Sir James made his mark with advanced research on stellar evolution, quantum theory and theory of radiation, multiple star systems and the like, reported in numerous books; he is considered co-founder of cosmology, that branch of physics concerned with the origins of the universe; but he also sought to popularize science as a lecturer and broadcaster and with such books as "The Universe Around Us" (1929) and "Through Space and Time" (1934). On a 6½" X 3½" envelope from "The Biltmore" hotel in New York, the astronomer boldly pencils his British address large and sloppy: "JH Jeans / Cleveland Lodge. / Dorking, Surrey Eng." Near fine. Most unusual in this form -- "Cleveland Lodge" was the home he purchased in 1918 and lived in for the rest of his life. .
