Malzeville, France, 1828. Ephemera. On offer is rental receipt from France in the years immediately following the Napoleonic Wars. The receipt was issued to Nicholas Cherallu of the town of Malzeville, in the north-east of France. It details a payment of 60 francs for rents, possibly for land for vineyards. Our informal research has not been able to find any biographical information about him. The receipt is for a payment of 60 francs, approximately the equivalent of US$ 750 today.

Letter Ordering Release of a Prisoner from the Bastille Signed by Louis XVI and Pierre Phillippeaux

France. Ephemera. On offer is a truly remarkable piece of written history – a form letter ordering the release of a prisoner from the Bastille. On the document is a blank space to enter a prisoner's name and his/her number. It bears two signatures: “Louis”, Louis XVI, the King of France and “Philippeaux”, Pierre Phillippeaux. The letter reads: je vous faire cet lettre pour vous dire mettre du liberte du nominal qui vous detener [ ] Ordre ___ dans mons chateau de la bastilleI...make you this letter to tell you to put the freedom of the person named which you detain [ ] Order ___ in my castle of the Bastille ….. [Translation]. The signatories of this document are well known historical figures. Most are familiar with Louis XVI and his ultimate fate. Pierre Philippeaux was a lawyer who became a member of the revolutionary National Convention. He voted in favour of the execution of the King. He was Secretary to Georges Danton. Danton has been described as the chief architect of the overthrow of the French monarchy and the creation of the French Republic. He was President of the Committee of Public Safety which ushered in the ‘Terror”. A year later, he was guillotined by his fellow Committee members. His Secretary, Pierre Philippeaux went to the guillotine as well. Built in 1357, the Bastille was was a fortress in Paris, known formally as the Bastille Saint-Antoine. It has always played an important role in the internal conflicts of France and for most of its history was used as a state prison. It was stormed by a crowd on 14 July 1789, in the French Revolution, becoming an important symbol for the French Republican movement. It was later demolished and replaced by the Place de la Bastille. For a historian, especially for one interested in French history or the French Revolution, this is a superb piece of history. It is a direct connection to one of the most significant events in human history. The French Revolution overthrew an absolute monarchy, ushered in a Republic and opened the door to liberal democracies around the world. In doing so, it also unleashed the first modern world war. This would be an outstanding addition to a library or collection. This document measures 8.5” x 11”. It shows wear around the edges and mottling makings from age. However, it is fully readable. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 1 pages; Signed by Author. Good with no dust jacket .

JASPER W. O'FARRELL

1906 Original Manuscript Diary Handwritten by a Young San Francisco Boy Who Chronicles His Living Through the Earthquake of 1906 Including the Destruction of His Home

SAN FRANCISCO CALIFORNIA CA, 1906. . Illustrated by Lost. On offer is a sensational, original 1906 manuscript diary handwritten by a young man named Jasper W. O'Farrell, who we believe was the son or grandson of Jasper O'Farrell a famed early San Francisco resident, surveyor, land holder and Senator. [There are streets in San Francisco named after him and a chain of eateries!] All the more fascinating is the narrative by the young O'Farrell who lived through the notorious earthquake of 1906. Writing in fits and spurts throughout about a third of the book he does a good job detailing the tragedy of the earthquake and the wreckage it caused, even the destruction of his own home. An interesting counterpoint to his entries on the massive earthquake are his writings of trips including going to Yosemite for several days. Here are some snippets: "Today we all went to the Cliff Hose and had refreshments at the M&M Hotel. In the evening we all went to Mrs Moffats and spent the evening…John B and I went across the bay with them. While on the boat the little chicken that Garneau got at Mrs Deyoung's got out of the basket and ran around the boat. The maid finally caught it…Was awakened by the dreadful shaking of the house and found that it was an earthquake. The house is an awful wreck everything is broken. House will have to be torn down. Left at 6:30 AM and got to the city at 9PM. Had to walk home from the ferry…saw the St Francis burning…Took another walk downtown at 2 AM saw the Hopkins Institute and Mrs Stanford's home catch on fire. The city is just one great big mass of flames…The city looks awful. The people are cooking on the streets. Tante was at the house when we got there. Walked all over and took photos of different places…We had lunch at some place on Fillmore St we will leave tonight for Sacramento. We walked around and later on went over to Oakland to see Evelyn. We came home early and packed our grips. We rode down to the ferry in a coal wagon. Got to Sacramento at 10:30 PM all the hotels were crowded and we had to go to the Hamand Bath House for the night…Yosemite…We got up early today put on my walking clothes and we started out for the Vernaland Nevada Falls with our lunch. It is a walk of about 14 odd miles. We arrived at Vernal Falls first. We then went through the spray of the Vernal Falls and walked on to the top of the Nevada Falls. They are perfectly grand. The scenery up here is elegant…After lunch we walked to the Lost Arrow Trail, while there it began to rain. We paid no attention to that and sat and watched a man fishing for trout…Yosemite started out for Glacier Point. We arrived at Union Pt at 10:30 AM here we rested awhile in a cabin we built a fire in the stove and melted snow for drinking water…We went over to the Glacier Point Hotel but it was closed no one was in it, we broke down one of the windows got in the hotel and got a stack of provisions which we brought back to the cabin. On our way back we sat on our coats and coasted down the sides of the snow covered hills…We passed the Bridal Veil Falls and saw the rainbow which was perfectly beautiful. In the eve we all sat and listened to Mr Hancock relate his different experiences…This AM we took a walk to the foot of Yosemite Falls. They like everything else in the valley are beautiful…I took a horseback ride to the Cascades and then to the power house…Today we took a walk up to Mirror Lake and had our photos taken. Later we walked to the happy Isles and had an early lunch…" The 9 x 6 inch cloth cover book has some damage but insides are much better.

1856 Physician’S Manuscript Case Study Report on the Clinical Details of a Suspected Extrauterine Conception

Providence Rhode Island RI, 1856. Manuscript. On offer is a weird and wonderful manuscript contribution to 19th century obstetrical medical knowledge written by a practicing Rhode Island physician. The document is a case study report that appears to have been written for intended publication in a medical journal (no records of its publication have been found). The report’s author is Dr. Absaolm Pride (A. P. ) King (1820-1868). Dr. King was a Rhode Island-based medical doctor. (see BIO NOTES at the end of the listing for more information). Dr. King practiced both traditional medicine and homeopathy. In this case, he was acting as a community physician making home visits for patients in need. The report is titled “Extrauterine Conception” and, over eight pages, Dr. King describes the case of a mother of three teenagers, aged 53, who had been suffering with abdominal and pelvic concerns for years. Dr. King acknowledges the rarity of extrauterine pregnancy and its minimal mention in the medical literature. He aims to contribute this case to the literature, stating: “...The following case which I have the liberty to report is more interesting perhaps than instructive and will add one more to the number of (probably) abdominal conceptions…”He discusses the poor treatment provided by another physician prior to his involvement in the case. Dr. King believes that this extrauterine pregnancy occurred 18 years prior, and that the patient and her doctor at the time believed it ended with a spontaneous abortion that never produced products of conception vaginally. The woman had been treated for severe constipation and piles (Haemorrhoids) , which Dr. King believed were caused by the abdominal pregnancy. He then goes on to describe how the woman passes the conception rectally, and gives fairly graphic detail of his findings. Some excerpts of the report follow (graphic content has omitted from the excerpts) : “Mrs. — called me to attend her some ten months since; I found her extremely prostrated having been confined to her bed for the last two or three weeks and medicated by her family Physician for what he called “Stoppage”. The treatment had been a cathartic in the evening followed by an opiate at night until the stomach would no longer submit to much barbarisms…”“…exertions for relief proved successful and saved her the mortification and me the unpleasant duty of making an exploration [of] her annus. The obstruction provided to be no less than parts of a faetal skeleton, perhaps five months advanced…”“…It is now several months since Mrs. – has had any unnatural body pass per rectum. The “piles” tenderness in the pelvis - constipation and many other contributions to her ill health have passed away and she enjoys better health now than for eighteen years previous to thee last ten months…”While this medical report is unarguably odd, the physician’s assessment, diagnosis, plan and evaluation give great insight into the clinical decision making of a physician managing medical and obstetrical concerns in the 19th century. Knowing that Dr. King also practiced homeopathy and believed in alternative medicine provides another angle for the reader to consider when analyzing this case. This report would make a fascinating piece of study for student doctors, nurses or any engaged health care practitioner. The eight pages are handwritten in black ink. All pages are in good condition with no rips or tears. Some fold lines are present as is some normal age toning. The writing is legible. The report is signed by Dr. A. P. King and the report is accompanied by an envelope with the title of the report written in King’s hand. BIO NOTES: Dr. A. P. King was born in Preston, Connecticut to parents Daniel King and Cynthia Pride. In 1845, he graduated from a mainstream medical school, the Berkshire Medical Institute, in Pittsfield, Massachusetts (some sources say he graduated from Harvard Medical School - this is unconfirmed). After graduation, he worked as a physician in Apponaug and Providence, Rhode Island. On Christmas Day, 1845, he married Celia Hendricks in Woonsocket, Rhode Island. The couple remained in Rhode Island. They had four children, though, tragically, only one survived early childhood. Their third child, Eugene Pride King (1854-1921) , would grow up to attend Brown University and have a successful medical career. Dr. A. P. King served the United States in the Civil War as Acting Assistant Surgeon, four years before his early death in Rhode Island. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 8 pages; Signed by Author.

1857 Physician’S Manuscript Lecture Compelling the Medical Profession to Accept Homeopathy As a Viable Alternative to Allopathic Medicine

Providence Rhode Island RI, 1857. Manuscript. On offer is a handwritten medical lecture in which a physician passionately argues that allopathic medicine has lost its way and that letting Mother Nature take the lead in curing patients is crucial to 19th century health care. It was written and presented by one of the founders of the Hahnemann Society of Rhode Island at what was likely its inaugural meeting in January, 1857. The lecture was written and orated by American physician Dr. Absaolm Pride (A. P. ) King (1820-1868). Dr. King was a Rhode Island-based medical doctor, who was educated and practiced as an allopathic physician. He took an interest in homeopathy under the guidance of Dr. Abraham Howard (A. H. ) Oakie, one of the founders of the Rhode Island Homeopathic Society, which was incorporated in 1850. In 1857, Dr. King was an organizer of a second homeopathic society, named the Hahnemann Society of Rhode Island (the society’s name is an ode to the father of homeopathic medicine, Dr. Samuel Hahnemann). See BIO NOTES after the listing for more on Dr. King. Dr. King’s lecture is titled “Vis medicatrix naturae” [The healing power of nature]. An envelope accompanying the lecture indicates that it was “read before the Hahnemann Society…Jan. 9 1857”. In his lecture, Dr. King attempts to ‘sell’ his fellow physicians on letting nature take the lead in their medical practices. Incorporating elements of Homeopathy, Philosophy, Medicine, Spirituality and Mythology, King passionately and eloquently argues his view that Mother Nature herself is the ultimate healer. He argues that modern medicine has become too commercial, ego-driven and performative, with poor efficacy. He argues that treating patients based on the results of experiments (research) should augment the work of nature, not supersede it. An excerpt follows which gives the flavour of King’s arguments: “We can only wish [doctors] have been better students of nature –examined her powers, counted her favors, and Prometheus like stolen her fires and revealed the truth to every medical student that nature and waters alone rules supreme in the human organism. It is then the duty of the physician to follow rather than attempt to guide in matters appertaining to therapeutics - never losing sight of Vis medicatrix naturae current by heroic or by gentler means be driven into the path of her duty - whatever abberation [sic] there may be from the normal condition the force of natural medicine immediately attempts by a system of recuperation to overcome and harmonise - her tendency is always restoration - recuperation. Though disease may tend to death nature tends to life…”. King argues that modern medicines of the time given by ‘quack’ mainstream physicians cause more harm than good and are simply given to appease those around the patient: “...Sarsaparilla, Bandreth’s Pills, Moffitt’s Bitters together with the scientific conglomerate of some learned quack who can boast a diploma and support a gold headed cane - whose white coat is surmounted with an assumed counterfeit look of wisdom all deposited indiscriminately in the stomach resulting in nothing more than a communication to the friends that all that could be was done and that finally he died secundum artem”. Dr. King argues that while once it was well-known that cures reside in nature, the need for ego and power in medicine has caused this to be forgotten: “...either Physicians have deceived themselves and their patients in attributing such wonderful properties to their nostrums or the laws of nature themselves are changed; for many articles that are now cast out of legitimate medicine were once considered the only articles by which disease could be controlled. Plantago major, Pulmonaria officinalis, Viscum album and many other kindred articles seemed to remain an eulogium…” Dr. King closes his inspiring speech with a call to action for those in the homeopathic community to elevate this science to the larger community: “Let us all then amidst this uncertainty fall back upon fine principles. Study disease as it appears without being twisted…Study the effect of medicines upon the human… and the proper adaptation of remedies to disease and a more glorious day will light-up our heightened Science. Then it will rise like some proud monument lofty towering above all other sciences centring its shadow the wide world over when no setting sun can awaken or idle speculation can obscure its summit”. This lecture provides an incredible perspective on the state of 19th century health care. It resonates in the 21st century’s competing desires to advance medicine and also go back to basics and live more ‘naturally’. This would make an exceptional basis for a debate in a classroom for students studying medicine, nursing or an allied health profession. It is also a very special piece of history for the naturopathic and homeopathic communities, providing context as part of their origin story. The lecture is handwritten on 12 numbered ledger-sized pages. It is in good condition. The first page has been disassembled and repaired with sealing wax and does not obscure the writing. All of the other pages display normal age toning and are in good condition. The handwriting is in black ink with some pencil corrections written in by King himself. The writing is legible. King did not sign this lecture but it is confirmed to be in his hand by a signed document in his hand with which this lecture was found. BIO NOTES: Dr. A. P.

ELI ADMIRE

1897 Original Manuscript Diary Handwritten by a Hard Working, Hard Driving But Sickly Oklahoma Man Who Would One Day Publish a Noted Newspaper Only to End His Own Life in Its Offices

OILTON GUEDA SPRINGS OKLAHOMA OK, 1897. . On offer is a fascinating late 19th Century manuscript Oklahoma diary handwritten mostly by Eli Admire, as the ownership inscription states. Eli, we believe, was at the time of the writing 19 years old [bio information to follow]. We also believe that Eli's father or mother may also have contributed a few pages when the writing changes and there is a reference made to sending Eli someplace. Eli is an interesting but ill-fated fellow: a business person who writes of checking on his 'Sandpiper Farm' and bemoaning his shiftless renter; a pious person staying quiet at home and reading on the day of rest; a man plagued by illnesses, complaining of swollen lymph glands and frequently going to the not too far away Gueda Springs which was known for its healing salt springs. [We learn, sadly, that Eli ends his life very young and perhaps his health issues finally drove him to ultimate despair.] Eli uses an 1896 book but writes of events in 1897. It doesn't start until August 16th but from that point Eli writes everyday and most of the pages in this page-a-day book are well filled. Here is a snippet: September 4, 1897 - Rain - Cool "Did not rest well last night. Several things annoyed me, and my mind was as vigilant as a soldier on picket. So have not felt well. I sometimes think I am undergoing a change of life..." The cover is in really rough shape: tattered, torn and part of it is missing. The inside pages are in surprisingly good condition. Overall G.

ALEXANDRE MORAND, FRENCH NOTARY FROM BILLY, FRANCE

1861 Richly Detailed French Legal Property Contract

Billy, France, 1861. Ephemera. On offer is a fascinating manuscript detailing a property transaction in 1861 France. The manuscript is a detailed contract describing the sale of a piece of property. It was drawn by a French Notary named Alexandre Morand in the town of Billy, France. In 12 pages, the document goes into great detail about the property, the parties to the contract, terms and conditions, etc. An excerpt from the manuscript follows: Est Comparu…Monsieur Pierre Brisson homme d'affairs demeurant a BillyRegistrant aux presentes...[Translation: Appearing before me Mr. Pierre Brisson, businessman living in Billy Registrant to the foregoing...]What follows are the details of the transaction. He notes that a Monsieur Peronet appeared, acting as an agent for a Monsieur Jerome Marie Ludovic from La Rochelle, a lieutenant in the Austrian cavalry. For a legal scholar, this document is rich in details. The real estate and mortgage markets in France were huge, even before the country was fully industrialized. In 1840, for instance, outstanding mortgage debt in France amounted to 28 percent of GDP, or about the same level relative to the size of the economy as in the United States in the 1950s, and this mortgage market existed outside of the French banking system. Mortgages were most often arranged by ‘notaries’, men like “Morand”. Notaries sat in the centre of a web of financial and debt information and acted as the primary bridge between lenders and borrowers. The manuscript bears seals that document its registration including a beautifully embossed French imperial eagle. For a historian, this document shows how lands and property were exchanged and dealt with in mid-19th century France. For a legal scholar, this is an excellent example of the type of legal documentsthat were drawn at the time. It gives a sense of the legal system that underpinned these types ofcontracts. For a genealogist, this document helps trace family lines and lands in and around thiscommunity a century and a half ago. The manuscript is a 12-page document measuring 11.5 inches by 8.25 inches. The edges show slight feathering and some staining that would be appropriate to its age. The manuscript bears several printed and/or embossed seals. The handwriting is generally very legible. ; Manuscripts; 11.5" x 8.25"; 12 pages; Signed by Author. Good with no dust jacket .

ANDREW JACKSON MUSSELMAN JR. , JACK MUSSELMAN

1961 Diary and Ephemera of the Honorable Andrew Jackson Musselman Jr, Florida Lawyer, Member of the House of Representatives and Judge

Pompano Beach, Florida, United States, 1961. Softcover. On offer is a fascinating daily diary kept by a lawyer who would go on to be elected to Florida’s House of Representatives and be appointed to the bench. The diary is large, measuring 12 inches by 7.5 inches. There are 365 pages plus memoranda and the volume is approximately 90% complete. The diary is in fair condition. The spine is slightly damaged and many pages are stained (see photos). However, the handwriting is quite legible. Of special interest are the newspaper clippings and articles included which reference momentous events of the day. The author of the diary is the Honorable Andrew Jackson Musselman, Jr (known as either Jack Musselman or Andrew J. Musselman Jr) , a lawyer who resided and practiced in Florida. Musselman was born in 1926 and, during college, served in the United States Navy for two years, stationed in Hawaii. Following his discharge in 1948, Musselman studied law. After receiving his law degree in 1950, he moved to Pompano Beach, Florida and opened a law practice. A member of the Democratic party, he was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 1955, representing Broward County, where he served until 1958. He continued his legal practice until 1986, when Florida Governor Bob Graham appointed him to the bench to serve an unexpired term. He lost his seat on the bench in an election shortly after, but was re-appointed to the bench in 1988 by Governor Bob Graham, and worked the rest of his career on the bench and as head of the probate division until his retirement in 1995, at age 70. Musselman died suddenly, in the company of his wife Anne and some friends, in 1997 at the age of 71. The diary covers the daily activities of his law practice, and in his greater community and country, and includes many personal references. The year he kept his diary, 1961, was also a year in which many significant events in American history took place, as well as significant events in Musselman’s life and legal practice. Excerpts from the diary give a flavor for how Musselman discussed such events: “I didn't earn much money today but worked hard…The cases pending include a rape case where the client is Uylsses Landran a Dominican who's accused by a young blond woman of raping her January 5, in the evening. They arrested him a week later January 12 and Mrs. Landran calls me that night after I was asleep. She called me today from the farmers market where she found a man she said looked like her husband. She is a brave energetic woman and I admire her…” [Jan 19]“...Anne and I had a long discussion about our relationship today. Anne is reading a new book on child psychology and is dealing with this most difficult subject. There are some good ideas in the books she's reading however. Annie Laurie Greene committed suicide this morning in a most horrible fashion. She hung herself in a tree in the yard of her house. They found her about 6: 00am this morning…” [Jan 22]“...Met with Fred Van Lenner, John Moore, M. N. Weir, Gaines (Gaines dog food) for lunch at the Boca Raton Club. Met Sam Snead [American Professional Golfer] who was sitting at their table with them. We discussed harness racing possibilities and Mr. Weir recommended that Mr. Van Lenney meet Tom Manuel this afternoon at 4: 00pm which he did…” [Jan 23]. “...It looks as if Dave Oliver is going to buy the judgement and we will assign it to him so he can collect it back. Bought lunch for Jack Cheaney at Coach House Harbor. He is pondering his business future at great length. We always discuss the possible merger of the title companies and other general discussions about the ineptitude of different lawyers...John I. Whitworth is having trouble with a negro who almost killed him a week ago. He called several times. Barry Goldwater and McCarthy debated tonight…” [Jan 26]. “Today got Anne a bottle of "Flambeau" perfume as her Valentine present. We had a horrible night last night Betty Maas underwent a very depressed condition of such nature that Anne and I were afraid she was going to take her own life. Dr. Haber says she is capable of it and we talked to him last night as well as to Dr. Rowls. We decided to issue an ultimatum to her to get in the hospital or we would commit her...: ” [Feb 14]Musselman certainly noted important events including the results of the 1960 general election: “...The big news today was the inauguration of President J. F. Kennedy. His inaugural address was a masterpiece of literary style. I hope he's able to vary the mood of the people of U. S. I know he does mine to a large degree. Clipped his speech out of Lauderdale News to keep....It was 20 degrees in Washington and heavy winds and snow. Herbert Hoover plane had to turn around and come back to Florida after being in the air nine hours trying to land in Washington. The snow storm prevented it …” [Jan 20]. In addition to the diary entries, Musselman kept newspaper articles tucked into his diary. These describe some of the momentous events that transpired in 1961. There is an article, accompanied by photographs of the recovery of Allan Shepard and Gus Grissom after their first successful venture into space.

ARCHBISHOP OF BOURGE, ARIE-CHARLES-ISIDORE DE MERCY

1807 and 1808 Pastoral Letters from Archbishop de Mercy As He Sought to Revitalize the Bourges Diocese

Bourges, France. Ephemera. On offer are two Pastoral Letters from 1807 and 1808 that were written by the Archbishop of Bourges, arie-Charles-Isidore de Mercy, immediately following the French Revolution, which were dangerous times for many clergy. De Mercy was the first Archbishop appointed to Bourges following the French Revolution. The diocese was poor and understaffed when he took over. Among the many issues de Mercy had to contend with in his new appointment was the condition of the diocese’s major seminary or teaching facility for educating priests. This was the subject of two of his Pastoral Letters. Pastoral letters are open letters written to clergy and often to all members of the church (as this one was) in a particular jurisdiction. Such letters were frequently sent out at particular times of the year, coinciding with ecclesiastical seasons, such as Lent or Christmas. However, they were not limited to any particular event or celebration. The first letter was written in August 1807 and titled Au Sujet d’Establissement de Son Seminaire Diocesain (Concerning the Establishment of the Diocesan Seminary). An excerpt follows: Auriez-vous donc a nous reprocher Nos Tres Chers Freres, d'avoir laisse en souffrance un des etablissements qui devoit le plus interesser notre solicitude pastorale, celui d'un Seminaire diocesain ou pouvoit se perpetuer l'esperance du sacerdoce? [Translation: So would you have to reproach us, Our Very Dear Brothers, for having left one of the establishments suffering that should most interest our pastoral solicitude, that of a Diocesan Seminary where the hope of the sacred could be perpetuated? ]The Seminary had been closed following the French Revolution. Not only was the diocese understaffed but the quality of individual education of the priests was considered low. Finances were in terrible shape and the social milieu was not conducive to wide-spread community or official support. The balance of the letter is an appeal for support to continue or re-establish the Seminary. He cajoles and lectures, as in this excerpt: Un indifference coupable on de plus longs delais qui pourroient retarder ce que je dois appeller l'edifice sprituel de la maisondu Seigneur , vous rendront responsables de tous les malheurs qui doivent suivre soit de la disette des Pretres soit du nombre insufficent pour fournir les besoins futurs de l'Eglise de France. [Translation: A guilty indifference or longer delays which could delay what I must call the spiritual building of the house of the Lord, will make you responsible for all the misfortunes which must follow either from the famine of the Priests or from the number insufficient to supply the needs future of the Church of France. ]He ends the letter with the establishment of a new charity whose aim is to perpetuate the diocese of Bourges. The second Pastoral Letter by de Mercy was published in November 1808 and continues the theme of his earlier one. In it, he re-emphasizes the arguments he made the previous year and makes some specific references tothem: Sur la continunitie des secours a donner pour l'etablissement du grand et petite seminaire, et sur les conditions attachees a la dispense de faire gras certains jours de la semaine pendant le Careme de l'annee 1809. [Translation: On the continuity of the relief to be given for the establishment of the major and minor seminary, and on the conditions attached to the exemption from making fat on certain days of the week during Lent of the year 1809]For a historian or an educator, this document offers an excellent window into the life of the Diocese of Bourges and is a microcosm of the challenges faced by the Roman Catholic Church across France in the aftermath of the French Revolution and during the height of Napoleon Bonaparte’s reignThese two printed documents measure 7.5 inches by 4.75 inches each contain 16 pages. The pages show staining and wear that one would expect from paper over two centuries old but otherwise they are in good condition. The pages are folded in half and the resultant ‘spine’ is secured with a straight pin. ; 7.5" x 4.75"; 16 pages. Good with no dust jacket .

THE ARCHBISHOP OF THE DIOCESE OF BOURGES, JEAN-JOSEPH MARCHAL

1887 Pastoral Letter on the Religious Education of Young Children in Bourges, France

Bourges, France, 1887. Ephemera. On offer is a printed pastoral letter about the education of young children, written by the Archbishop of the Diocese of Bourges, Jean-Joseph Marchal. The letter is titled l’Education des Petits Enfants et Mandement Pour le SaintTemps de Careme de l'An de Grace 1887 (The Education of Small Children and the Mandata for theholy season of Lent in the Year of Grace 1887). Pastoral letters are open letters written to clergy and often to all members of the church (as this one was) in a particular jurisdiction. Such letters were frequently sent out at particular times of the year, coinciding with ecclesiastical seasons, such as Lent or Christmas. In this particular case, it was sent out as part of the preparations for Lent. As the title suggest, this Letter concerned the education of children. Two excerpts from the letter follow: L'enfant meme quand il a ete regenere par la baptisme ne se developee pas et ne devient points un homme parfait, un chretien parfait par un accroissement spontane par la vertu d'unee force inherente a sa nature et agissant selon des regles invariables et toujours sures. [Translation: The child even when he has been regenerated by baptism does not develop and does not become a perfect man, a perfect Christian by a spontaneous increase by virtue of a force inherent in his nature and acting according to rules that are unvarying and always certain]Cedependant, il faut bien de reconnaitre dans le grande nombre de familles, il est impossible, ou du moins il est dificile pour les parents de donner completement et par eux-memes a leur enfants l'ensignement religieux qui leur est du des qu'ils ont l'usage de la raison… [Translation: However, it is necessary to recognize in the large number of families, it is impossible, or at least it is difficult for the parents to give completely and by themselves to their children the religious teaching which is due to them as soon as they have the use of reason…]. The author, Archbishop of the Diocese of Bourges, Jean-Joseph Marchal, was ordained a priest in 1845 and taught as a professor at a major seminary. Leaving his teaching position, became a parish priest. In 1864 he was appointedBishop of Belley, France. In 1880, he was appointed Archbishop of Bourges in the southwest of France. He remained there as Archbishop until his death in 1892. Interestingly, his brother was also a Bishop and served as his assistant in Bourges. For a historian or an educator, this document offers an excellent window into the attitudes toward children and their education in a fairly conservative region of France during the Belle Epoque period of the late 19th century. This printed document measures 10.5 inches by 8.5 inches and contains 28 pages. The sewn binding is in excellent condition as are the pages. There are no stains or wear marks. ; 10.5" x 8.5"; 28 pages. Good with no dust jacket .

HERBERT ARSCOTT

C1915 Original Group of Documents Pertaining to the Military Service of a Lance Corporal in the 5th Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary Force 2nd Brigade A.K. A "Tuxford's Dandies", Who Was Seriously Wounded, and Spent over a Year at Military Hospita

1936. . Illustrated by /. On offer is a collection of 19 historically significant documents pertaining to military service of Herbert Arscott, including a war-time photo, a booklet with handwritten notes, an active service pay book, and post-war correspondence from the Board of Pension Commissioners for Canada. These documents represent milestones of his wartime experience, and also of many Canadians fighting in the Great War. As the majority of Canadian soldiers at that time, Herbert Arscott was born in Britain, in the town of Wellington, and enlisted almost immediately after the war was declared. He served at the 5th battalion of the 2nd infantry brigade hailed from western Canada, and known as "Tuxford's Dandies" after the name of its first commander. Arscott made a few notes of dates and locations in a small book titled "Diary and memoranda": on September 17th he arrived at Quebec, spent two days in smaller camps, on the 22nd started training at Valcartier, a training base for over 32000 volunteers from across Canada who were formed into the Canadian Expeditionary Force, and eight days later boarded the SS Laplandia, the largest in the transport convoy of the 31 ships set to cross the Atlantics. They arrived in Plymouth on October 14th, and in early November he already was in Bailleul in Northern France, which is the last note in the diary. The diary also contains a poem from George Cary Eggleston's "Rebel's collection" starting: "I was frightened, for a wind crept along the grass…" Arscott's battalion entered the war theater in February 2015, participating in the Second Battle of Ypres from April 15th to May 25th, it is not mentioned if Arscott was involved in that battle, but the documents show that in the middle of May he was wounded. It is clear from his pay book and passes that he spent spring and summer of 1916 at the Granville Canadian Special Hospital in Ramsgate, a seaside town in Kent, a photograph showing him in a wheelchair most likely was taken in front of that hospital, and then in Folkestone - a note on his pass says: "Recuperation. Excused wearing puttees" because of the leg wound. While in England he probably got married - in 1915 he named as his next of kin Mrs. Arscott C. N who lived in West Indies, but later a line was added in his pay book with the name and address of his wife in Surrey. In 1918 he returned to Canada where he was taken to the Civil Service for six months, but since 1920 all correspondence was addressed to the U. S, first to Brooklyn, and later to Ohio. The post-war documents cover the period until 1952, and are related to his pension and insurance policy. The collection includes the following documents: 1.

1816 Archive of Reference Letters for Applicants for Director of the Necker – Enfants Malades Hospital

France, 1816. Ephemera. On offer is an excellent collection of reference letters for applicants to replace the Director of The Necker–Enfants Malades Hospital, one of France’s foremost hospitals. From the context of the letters, it appears that in 1816, the Director of the Necker Hospital, one Monsieur Mougenot, had passed away. A number of applications for his position were received. These letters speak to the applications of three doctors who are seeking appointment to the position. Each extols the virtues of the relevant applicant and offers an insight into the medical practices of the times. There are also references to “le Vicomte” or Viscount. Indeed, there are letter addressed to simply ‘Le Vicomte”. Context suggests that this could be a reference to François Alexandre Frédéric de La Rochefoucauld-Liancourt, duc de Rochefoucauld. There is no direct evidence but Rochefoucauld was a very prominent social reformer of the time. He was active in the administration and operations of medical facilities. He was one of the first promoters of vaccinations in France. He had established a dispensary in Paris and he was an active member of the central boards of administration for hospitals. Alternatively, a second possibility for the unidentified ‘Vicomte’ is Mathieu Jean Felicité de Montmorency, duc de Montmorency-Laval. Montmerency was a very close friend to Germaine de Stael, the daughter of Jacques and Suzanne Necker, Montmorency was also a senior member of the French nobility, wealthy and very well connected in Paris. Of Doctor Nysten, an unsigned letter states: Il a fait partie de la commission educale que le gouvrenment envoya dans le midi d'Espagne en 1805 pour arretez le progress de la fievre jaunes... [Translation: He was part of the educational commission that the government sent to the south of Spain in 1805 to stop the progress of the yellow fever…]Another is a note from Dr. Nysten to his father. There is evident pride in this short missive: Je veut envoi cher papa un note qui m'ete donne par un de ma collegues... [Translation: I want to send dear Papa a note that was given to me by one of my colleagues…]. Another applicant, a Monsieur Trederu, submits a glowing letter of reference from the curator of the Mazarine Library. The du Bois letter is a request to an unnamed Vicomte to discuss the vacancy at Necker – Enfants Malades. Again, context suggests that the obvious unnamed Vicomte is in fact Rochefoucauld as he was deeply involved in the social and medical issues in Paris at that time. Philibert du Bois, secretaire general de l'academie de medecine de paris est venu pour avoir l'honneur de vous presenter les respects et vous prieur de vouloir bien etre favorable a la demands qu'il a presentie au confeil des hospices relativement a la place vacante a l'hopital Necker et l'hopital des enfants…[Translation: Philibert du Bois, secretary-general of the medical academy of Paris has come to have the honour to pay you his respects and to ask you to be favourable to his request to the council of hospices concerning the vacant place at the Necker hospital and the children's hospital…]. History of The Necker–Enfants Malades Hospital: The Necker–Enfants Malades Hospital is a French teaching hospital It was created in 1920 by the merger of Necker Hospital (Hôpital Necker) , which was founded in 1778 by Suzanne Necker, (wife of France’s Minister of Finance, Jacques Necker) and the Sick Children's Hospital located next door. The Sick Children’s Hospital is the oldest children's hospital in the Western world, founded in 1801. Jacques Necker was a leader in the movement to reform crowded hospitals by building smaller treatment centres closer to the patients' neighbourhoods. Madame Necker subsequently remodelled an old monastery into the hospital which, prior to the French Revolution, was known as the Hospice de Charité. Male and female patients were kept separate from each other, as many hospitals of the time did. Triage procedures, established all over Paris in 1802, systematically excluded pregnant women, the mentally ill, and venereal patients. Patients were divided into four categories: fever, malignant fever, surgical, and convalescent. The Hôpital des Enfants Malades (Hospital for Sick Children) was created in January 1801 to help manage the health and social structures of Paris. The newly formed Hôpital des Enfants Malades opened in June 1802. It was the first pediatric hospital in the Western world. The two physically contiguous hospitals were merged in 1920, but the Necker division continued to care for adults and Enfants Malades for children. French physician René Laennec invented the stethoscope in 1816 while he was working at the Hôpital Necker. These letters are a direct connection to the history of one of France’s great hospitals with a possible connection as well to one of France’s great noble families. They are fine pieces of primary material for a social historian of that period. They would also be an excellent addition to the personal library of a medical professional. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; Signed by Author. Good with no dust jacket .
