Pamphlet. 31 p.; 21 cm. (Friends of Dr. Williams's Library ; 24th lecture) "When my coat has worn itself into an affectionate intimacy with my body, when it has served for Sunday best and for weekdays, and got weather stained out in the fields with wind and rain--then faithful it does not part from me but getting itself cut up i…nto shreds and patches descends to form a hearthrug for ny feet. After that, when worn through, it goes into the kennel and keeps my dog warm, and so after the lapse of years retiring to the manure heap and passing out into the land, returns to me in the form of potatoes for my dinner; or being pastured by my sheep, reappears upon their backs as the material of new clothing. Thus it remains a friend to all time grateful to me for not having despised and thrown it away when it first got behind the fashions.And seeing that we have been faithful to each other,my coat and I,for one round or life-period,I do not see why we should not renew our intimacy in other metamorphoses or wny we should ever quite lose touch of each other through the aeons." (p. 21, paper read before the `Fellowship of the New Life' in January 1886) -- `The socialism destined to win the allegiance of the great mass of working people was not to be of this mystical, disciplined and self-renunciatory kind. On the contrary, the leaders who gave the movement a political cutting edge, and finally won through to power,were determined that the expropriated and under privileged should themselves enjoy the fruits of technology. .To Edward Carpenter socialism was a way of life; it presupposed a philosophy; it was the realisation within the community of a truly human brotherhood.' (p. 22) VG, stapled, in orig. buff wrapper.

Good black cloth with red top, lower edge sl. spotted, good dj. xiii, 335 p.; 21 cm. (Church historical society. [Publications] ns ; 21) Contents -- Preface -- An introduction to sources -- I. Early years -- II. A court bishop -- III. Politics. 1738-61 -- IV. The defence of the church -- V. Sherlock as a bishop -- VI. A dispute…over options [with Thomas Herring] -- VII. The plantations -- VIII. Theological thought -- IX. Political thought and social questions -- X. Sherlock and the men of his time -- Epilogue -- Bibliography -- Index. -- `Bishop Gibson died on September 6, 1748 and was succeeded by Thomas Sherlock, who in virtue of his position as Bishop of London would be expected to undertake the care of the American Colonies. The first years witnessed his vigorous efforts to secure a resident Bench of Bishops but on his failure in this matter, he commenced a policy of inaction, by which he hoped to force the hands of the Government. He refused to seek legal authority for his jurisdiction and gave the least possible attention to American affairs. Such a desperate policy--for its results were little less than general anarchy in the American Church--can be justified by nothing but success: by this standard Sherlock's policy must be reckoned a failure and its ultimate result was not to force the hand of the Government to institute an American Episcopate, but to weaken the links which bound the Church life of the one country to the other, and to render the recovery of the English Church in America almost impossible. Just at the period when the Methodists in America were making enormous strides, the established Church was becoming weaker and weaker.' (p. 193 f.) --. Binding is Hardcover.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good black binder's cloth. xiii, 398 p.; 4 pl.; 22 cm. Compton had officiated at the marriage of William of Orange and Princess Mary which "was somewhat hastily solemnised in Princess Mary's bedroom by Compton at nine o'clock in the evening of 4 November" 1677 (p. 36) and at their coronation in 1689. "Desp…ite such `popularity at Court', one thing seems quite certain, namely, that Mary, a woman of genuine piety, and sincerely interested in the welfare of the Church, who knew the Bishop of London intimately, did not want him as Archbishop: and that Tillotson, when he himself was seeking to withdraw from the Primacy, suggested not Compton, the obvious choice, but Stillingfleet. Gilbert Burnet, who had the ear both of the King and the Queen, supported the nomination of Tillotson, and though he recognised the Bishop of London's Protestant zeal, yet regarded him, perhaps unfairly, as `weak and wilful'. Was it therefore some defect of character, some temperamental irresponsibility, which made William and Mary emphatic that they did not want Compton at Lambeth? Though both monarchs had benefited from the Bishop's duplicity to James at the Revolution, it may be that they were in a measure shocked at such conduct in a churchman and felt they they could not really trust him. Perhaps, also, the prescient William recognised that such an appointment would exacerbate the feelings of the Nonjurors; perhaps he himself preferred someone to whom he did not owe so much. The immediate effect upon Compton of his being passed over was extreme and he made little effort to conceal his disappointment." (p. 174).

46 signed letters [34 TLS, 12 ALS] comprising decades of correspondence between Frederick Gardner Cottrell and various notable figures of his day in U.S. politics, the international science community, and academia. All letters are housed in new archival mylar sleeves. Cottrell was a notable chemist, inventor, and philanthropist,… best known today for his invention of the electrostatic precipitator - one of the first inventions to combat air pollution - and his founding of the Research Corporation for Science Advancement, which used the revenue from the electrostatic precipitator to fund further scientific research, and continues to do so today. While best remembered for these feats, Cottrell had a long and influential career both in the U.S. Federal Government and as a science consultant. He was well known nationally and internationally - in industry, in government, and in academia - for his support of and contributions to new ideas and new talent within the scientific community. The letters, which span from 1901-1941, track Cottrell over the course of 40 years, and evidence the many relationships he had over that period with some of the most influential people of the time. These include a letter of introduction from Alexander Graham Bell, a discussion of chemistry with Thomas Edison, replies from two Nobel Prize winning scientists - the discoverer of the noble gasses, William Ramsay, and discoverer of the electron, J. J. Thomson - to Cottrell's request to study in their labs, and exchanges with two presidents, Herbert Hoover and Woodrow Wilson. Other letters show his personal interactions with leading scientists of his day (Robert J. Van de Graaff, Georges Claude, George E. Hale) and heads of industry (Henry L. Doherty, Ivy Lee), and track the path of his career through his time as the director of the Bureau of Mines; to chairman of the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Technology on the National Research Council; to head of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Fixed Nitrogen Research Lab, and beyond. These letters, the vast majority of which were sent by these notable figures to Cottrell, evidence his expertise, the depth and breadth of his professional interests, and his eagerness to collaborate and share research and ideas, coming together to trace the life of a man whose work was and continues to be consequential to the advancement of science as a whole. Shelved case 1. CONTENTS: 1-Page TLS from inventor of the telephone Alexander Graham Bell to a Mr. Fish, dated December 20, 1911, introducing Cottrell to him. In Very Good condition. In this letter, Bell is writing in his capacity as Regent of the Smithsonian Institution. On 1331 Connecticut Avenue letterhead. Faintly creased, with mild wrinkling along the edges. Signed in black ink by Bell: "Alexander Graham Bell". 1-page TLS from inventor of the light bulb Thomas Edison to Cottrell dated January 13, 1925, discussing the unexpected results of a past chemistry experiment of his in relation to the generation of ammonia. In Very Good condition. TLS is on Edison's personal letterhead ("From the Laboratory of Thomas A. Edison"). Lightly age toned, with some wrinkling and small closed tears along the top edge. Faintly creased from past folding. Signed by Edison in black ink: "Thos. A. Edison". Includes a lightly soiled 1-page facsimile of Cottrell's reply. 2-page ALS from Nobel Prize winning physicist Joseph John Thomson to an unnamed recipient, likely Cottrell, dated July 6, 1901, discussing the possibility of Cottrell coming to study at Thomson's lab. In Very Good condition. In 1901, Cottrell would have been studying in Europe at the University of Berlin, seeking to study in the laboratory of an accomplished scientist. Thomson was already a figure of some renown for his 1897 discovery of the electron, which represented the first identification of a subatomic particle, and would be awarded the 1906 Nobel Prize in Physics in recognition of his work. ALS is on Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge letterhead, and shows a faint crease across the middle and light pencil writing in the top margin of the first page. Small red pencil mark beneath letterhead. Signed in black ink by Thomson: "J. J. Thomson". 1-page ALS from Nobel Prize winning chemist William Ramsay to an unnamed recipient, likely Cottrell, dated 14th August, 1901, in which Ramsay says there is no availability for Cottrell to study in his lab. In Very Good condition. As with the letter from J. J. Thomson, Cottrell would have been studying in Europe at the University of Berlin at the time this letter was sent. In 1901, Ramsay was just a few years away from his landmark 1904 discovery of argon, the first identified noble gas, which would earn him the 1904 Nobel Prize in Chemistry and lead to the development of a new section of the periodic table. ALS is lightly toned along the edges, faintly creased, with a similar red pencil mark in the top margin. Signed by Ramsay in black ink: "W. Ramsay". 1-page TLS from U.S. President Herbert Hoover to Cottrell, dated September 17, 1920. In Very Good minus condition. Brief letter of thanks for Cottrell's forwarding another person's letter to Hoover. On Hoover's personal letterhead. Faintly stamped, "Received / 1920 Sep 18 / Interior Department Bureau of Mines / Washington D.C.". Small rust marks and light wrinkling along the top margin; faintly creased. Signed in black ink by Hoover: "Herbert Hoover". Two 1-page TLS's from Herbert Hoover, each part of an exchange with Cottrell. In Very Good condition. Includes a 2-page facsimile of Cottrell's response. First Hoover TLS sent February 5, 1926; Cottrell's response sent February 8, 1926; Hoover's second TLS sent February 12, 1926. In his first letter, Hoover asks Cottrell about the potential improper investigation of a new method of creating aluminum by the Bureau of Mines. In the second letter, Hoover thanks Cottrell for clearing up the issue. Hoover's letters are on Department of Commerce letterhead. Signed.
