Saratov: Institut De Microbiologie et D'Epidemiologie du Sud-Est de la Russie, 1924. Landscape octavo album (155 x 195 mm). Original grey printed wrappers, cord ties, 20 grey card leaves with original photographs laid in on both sides, art nouveau decorative borders, captions in Russian and French. Wrappers a little rubbed and showing signs of handling. A very good copy. 40 monochrome photographs. Remarkable visual record documenting the Soviet efforts to combat plague on the Central Asian steppe; highly scarce photo album, OCLC showing only four locations (BL, Munich, Leipzig, and Hong Kong), produced under the auspices of Sergei Nikanorov, Director of The Institute of Microbiology and Epidemiology of the South East (Mikrob) and the man charged with eradicating the plague in Kyrgyzstan and the steppe. Efforts began in earnest in 1923 and continued at high intensity through to 1925. In 1926 Nikanorov was awarded the Red Banner of Labour for his service. Compiled with a strong sense of narrative, the album includes several striking photos that give a vivid sense of place in telling the compelling story of Mikrob's efforts. Alongside images of plague victims and mass graves, there is extensive documentation of programmes of quarantine, treatment and education programmes. The album ends with photos of the South-eastern anti-plague centre, the plague museum, and, lastly, a commemorative list showing doctors who died investigating the plague, including Luís da Câmara Pestana and Dr Sachs, who infected himself in Berlin while injecting a rat. In spite of the honours that Nikanoro … [Click Below for Full Description]

Warsaw: Franciszka Kwiatkowska, 1924. Octavo (25 × 17.5 cm). Original staple-stitched printed wrappers with cover and typography design by Mieczys aw Szczuka; 24 pp. Very good. Single issue of the important Polish modernist and avant-garde literary and political journal, published from July 1923 to September 1924 by the avant-garde artist Mieczys aw Szczuka and communist activists and promoters of the Polish labor movement Jan Hempel and Edward Staniecki. "Nowa kultura" continued "Kultura Robotnicza" ("Proletarian Culture"), an official organ of the Polish Communist Party. Both journals were influenced by the Soviet Proletkult aesthetics and various international left-leaning writers. Mieczyslaw Szczuka (1898-1927) was a constructivist artist and a co-founder of the avant-garde group and journal "Blok" which, like the contemporary Soviet avant-garde journal LEF, was committed to promoting Productivism, or the close ties between art and production. Szczuka was responsible for the constructivist cover design and minimalist typography throughout the text. The editors, Hempel and Staniecki, were both members of the Polish Socialist Party with strong ties to Moscow and were able to attract many contemporary Polish as well as Soviet writers to the publication. This issue contains a review of "The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari", political articles by Jan Skorzak and Jan Dabrowsky, as well as literary contributions by the Soviet writers Vasily Kamensky, Ilya Ehrenburg, and Alexander Bogdanow.

Berlin: Akademie der Wissenschaften, 1924. First edition. Original wrappers. Very Good. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS OF THE FIRST PART OF ONE OF EINSTEIN'S GREAT CONTRIBUTIONS TO QUANTUM MECHANICS: THE DEVELOPMENT OF BOSE'S INSIGHTS TO CREATE "BOSE-EINSTEIN STATISTICS" AND "BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATION". "Einstein made his own contribution [to quantum theory] when he received in June of that year [1924] a paper in English from a young physicist from India named Satyendra Nath Bose. It derived Planck's blackbody radiation law by treating radiation as if it were a cloud of gas and then applying a statistical method of analyzing it. But there was a twist: Bose said that any two photons that had the same energy state were absolutely indistinguishable, in theory as well as fact, and should not be treated separately in the statistical calculations. "Bose's creative use of statistical analysis was reminiscent of Einstein's youthful enthusiasm for that approach. He not only got Bose's paper published, he also extended it with three papers of his own. In them, he applied Bose's counting method, later called 'Bose-Einstein statistics,' to actual gas molecules, thus becoming the primary inventory of quantum-statistical mechanics. "Bose's paper dealt with photons, which have no mass. Einstein extended the idea by treating quantum particles with mass as being indistinguishable from one another for statistical purposes in certain cases... "The key insight, which Einstein extracted from Bose's initial paper, has to do with how you calculate the probabilities for each stat … [Click Below for Full Description]

Two pages, 4to, Finca Vigia letterhead. Some light browning to sheet edges. Provenance: Geoffrey Parsons; acquired from a direct descendent. A FINE LETTER WRITTEN IN RESPONSE TO AN INQUIRY ABOUT HIS FORTHCOMING WORK: 'ACROSS THE RIVER AND INTO THE TREES.' Hemingway writes to Geoffrey Parsons, chief editorial writer for The New York Herald Tribune from 1924 until 1952, responding to the suggestion of a visit: "I would be delighted to see you as always, but there is no need to come down now." He goes on the stipulate his reasons, apparently reacting to an inquiry by Parsons about the status of his current writing: "A. The ap[parent]. report that the novel was finished is not correct. It was a slip-up in the office of the Panama paper that published it. "B. I have a lot more work to do on it and want to write on it rather than think of the possible dough I may get from it. "C. My kids are just out of school and college and we are leaving this morning for a 2-3 weeks trip to Cay Sal, Anguilas [sic] etc before they shove off to Europe for this summer. When I get back want to settle down and work hard and not think about possible serialization, or money, or anything but writing. I know you will understand this. My very best to you always and please remember Mary and me to Geoff, Jr. when you write him. It was fine seeing him in Cortina. Yours very truly, Ernest Hemingway" Hemingway worked on Across the River and Into the Trees in 1949 and 1950: first in Italy at Cortina D'Ampezzo; continuing upon his return home to Cuba; finishing the draft in Paris; and completin … [Click Below for Full Description]

One page, 8vo. Four lines in Toklas's fine, miniscule hand. On her stationary. In fine condition. Item #404255 Alice B. Toklas writes to Drue Parsons anticipating her upcoming visit. Parsons was married to Geoffrey Parsons, chief editorial writer of the New York Herald Tribune from 1924 to 1952. Toklas writes: â Virgil Thomson has just told me that you were kind enough to say that you would come to see me on Thursday afternoon. It will give me the greatest pleasure to meet you and to see Mr. Parsons again. He will not remember but we met briefly in New York in thirty four. Until next Thursday then, [...] Cordially, A.B. Toklas Alice B. Toklas was living in Paris in 1952. She went on to publish â The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook,â the first of her two books, in 1954. Toklas had lived with her partner Gertrude Stein in Paris since 1907; Stein died in 1946. Drue Parsons, born Dorothy Blackman, spent her early career in the 1930s as an actress with the stage name Drue Leyton. Leyton joined the resistance movement in France in the 1930s and 40s. It is likely that Toklas and Leyton met, or at least became familiar with each other, in Paris in 1942, when many American women were threatened with internment by the Vichy government. Drue Leyton was incarcerated in the Bois de Boulogne along with Sylvia Beach, the first publisher of Ulysses and a close friend of Stein and Toklas.

One page, 8vo. Four lines in Toklas's fine, miniscule hand. On her stationary. In fine condition. Alice B. Toklas writes to Drue Parsons anticipating her upcoming visit. Parsons was married to Geoffrey Parsons, chief editorial writer of the New York Herald Tribune from 1924 to 1952. Toklas writes: "Virgil Thomson has just told me that you were kind enough to say that you would come to see me on Thursday afternoon. It will give me the greatest pleasure to meet you and to see Mr. Parsons again. He will not remember but we met briefly in New York in thirty four. Until next Thursday then, [...] Cordially, A.B. Toklas Alice B. Toklas was living in Paris in 1952. She went on to publish 'The Alice B. Toklas Cookbook,' the first of her two books, in 1954. Toklas had lived with her partner Gertrude Stein in Paris since 1907; Stein died in 1946. Drue Parsons, born Dorothy Blackman, spent her early career in the 1930s as an actress with the stage name Drue Leyton. Leyton joined the resistance movement in France in the 1930s and 40s. It is likely that Toklas and Leyton met, or at least became familiar with each other, in Paris in 1942, when many American women were threatened with internment by the Vichy government. Drue Leyton was incarcerated in the Bois de Boulogne along with Sylvia Beach, the first publisher of Ulysses and a close friend of Stein and Toklas.

Berlin: Akademie der Wissenschaften, 1924. First edition. Original wrappers. Very Good. FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS OF THE FIRST PART OF ONE OF EINSTEIN'S GREAT CONTRIBUTIONS TO QUANTUM MECHANICS: THE DEVELOPMENT OF BOSE'S INSIGHTS TO CREATE "BOSE-EINSTEIN STATISTICS" AND "BOSE-EINSTEIN CONDENSATION". "Einstein made his own contribution [to quantum theory] when he received in June of that year [1924] a paper in English from a young physicist from India named Satyendra Nath Bose. It derived Planck's blackbody radiation law by treating radiation as if it were a cloud of gas and then applying a statistical method of analyzing it. But there was a twist: Bose said that any two photons that had the same energy state were absolutely indistinguishable, in theory as well as fact, and should not be treated separately in the statistical calculations."Bose's creative use of statistical analysis was reminiscent of Einstein's youthful enthusiasm for that approach. He not only got Bose's paper published, he also extended it with three papers of his own. In them, he applied Bose's counting method, later called 'Bose-Einstein statistics,' to actual gas molecules, thus becoming the primary inventory of quantum-statistical mechanics."Bose's paper dealt with photons, which have no mass. Einstein extended the idea by treating quantum particles with mass as being indistinguishable from one another for statistical purposes in certain cases..."The key insight, which Einstein extracted from Bose's initial paper, has to do with how you calculate the probabilities for each state of multiple … [Click Below for Full Description]

Spine sunned, minor rubbing to extremities, covers lightly bowed, a few minor marks to covers, contents lightly toned. A good copy. First edition, first impression. Association copy, being the copy of Frances Partridge (1900-2004), Bloomsbury Group member and acquaintance of Forster, with her pencilled ownership signature to the front free endpaper (using her maiden name Frances Marshall), and with her pencilled shelf mark to the front pastedown. "Having just finished A Passage to India, and needing to escape from his own demanding mother in Weybridge, Forster had become Frances' mother's lodger in Brunswick Square. It had been Vanessa Bell's idea; Ray and Bunny Garnett, now with two small sons, had moved to a house of their own, Hilton, near Cambridge. Frances had written a disrespectful account of Forster to Colin Mackenzie when he moved in, remarking on his 'twisty nose, and little giggle' and deploring his choose of 'pathetically suburban looking furniture'. Forster and Frances never really took to each other, and his books were never among her favourites" (Anne Chisholm, Frances Partridge: The Biography, 2009). Partridge remained slightly dismissive of Forster in her recollections of the Bloomsbury set - "E. M. Forster appeared to dress himself carefully to look like 'the man in the street', in impossibly dull grey suits. the sentimentality which is sometimes distressing in his books never appeared in his conversation or his letters - even the wording of a postcard a … [Click Below for Full Description]
