Zustand: Fine. - A 4-3/8 inch high by 3-1/4 inch wide black-and-white photographic portrait clipped from a magazine is mounted on an approximately 6 inch high by 4 inch wide cream-colored card. Inscribed and signed on the mount in black ink above and below the photo: "To Seymour Halpern / J. L. Garvin / 26 March 1930 / Gregories / Beaconsfield". Fine. A head-and shoulders portrait of Garvin seated at a desk with his arms folded over a pile of papers. The photo is inscribed to future Congressman Seymour Halpern, then a young autograph collector.James Louis Garvin [1868-1947] was a British journalist, editor and author. Garvin, who had always wanted to be an editor, was given a job as a proof reader and occasional contributor at the Newcastle Evening Chronicle. In 1908, after years of honing his skills as a journalist at various newspapers and moving to London, he accepted the editorship of the British Sunday newspaper The Observer. He revolutionized Sunday journalism and returned the paper, which was facing financial troubles at the time, to profitability. In 1921, Garvin moved to Beaconsfield, continuing to edit The Observer and starting work on a biography of his hero Joseph Chamberlain. After Churchill, an old friend, became Prime Minister in 1940, Garvin offered him unstinting support. This led to disagreements with the proprietors, the Astor family, who asked him to resign. He continued writing weekly columns, first for the Sunday Express and then the Daily Telegraph until shortly before his death in 1947.The Queens, New York Republican Congressman Seymour Halpern (1913-1997) started his political career as a campaign aide to New York's powerful mayor Fiorella La Guardia and first served in New York's State Senate for 14 years before seeking a seat in the U.S. Congress. In Albany Halpern sponsored 279 bills that became law, including measures on schools, housing, civil rights, nutrition and mental health. A Liberal, he was something of an anomaly as the lone Republican representative from New York City, and generally garnered support from Labor Unions and endorsement from the Liberal Party. Yet he never even considered switching parties as he considered membership in the Republican Party a family tradition and commitment. While he found ample time for his private pursuits, including painting and collecting autographs, he took his legislative duties very seriously. Of these, he was proudest of his co-sponsorship of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and of the original 1965 Medicare legislation. …

2pp, 12mo. In fair condition, aged and worn. Folded twice. The letter begins: 'When my Eugenic play "The Blindness of Virtue" was first produced at the Little Theatre two years ago [i.e. in 1912] (about which Dr Saleeby [i.e. eugenicist Caleb Saleeby (1878-1940)] wrote very kindly & in great agreement in the P. M. G) you were kind enough to send a member of your staff to see me for a talk.' He explains that since that time he has had the play 'in the United States & Canada where it is still running & I have many more things to say about it & those places'. He suggests a meeting at the Ambassadors Theatre, where he has a production, one morning that week. He ends with 'great admiration for your wonderful work for our Georgeridden country'. Pencil note at head: 'We'd better do this. RB'. The writer of the note is identified, in another pencil hand, as Robert Bell, the recipient named as F. A. H. Eyles.…

Zustand: Very Good. No Dust Jacket. PAUL EHRLICH AND THE FOUNDATIONS OF MODERN HEMATOLOGY. A substantial early twentieth-century treatise on diseases of the blood, bringing into English important German work by Paul Ehrlich, Adolf Lazarus, Carl von Noorden, and Felix Pinkus. The volume treats normal and pathological blood histology, anemia, chlorosis, and lymphatic and myeloid leukemia, with particular attention to the microscopic differentiation of blood cells. The American edition was edited and augmented by Alfred Stengel, Professor of Clinical Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. Stengel's preface explains that the German authors were consulted concerning the English edition and that the American editors were asked to bring the articles up to date and adapt them for English-language readers. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS: ILLUSTRATED HEMATOLOGY IN THE AGE OF THE MICROSCOPE. +++ Publisher's burgundy cloth, blind-ruled boards, with gilt lettering, rules, ornaments, and Saunders device to the spine. +++ Octavo, approximately 25 cm tall. 714 pages, followed by additional publisher's material. +++ Illustrated with text figures and 13 full-page plates, five in color, depicting blood morphology and pathological specimens. The color plates reproduce stained microscopic preparations and are accompanied by explanatory text. Contemporary Saunders advertising confirms the complement of 13 plates, five in color. +++ Edited with additions by Alfred Stengel, M.D.; authorized translation from the German under his editorial supervision. From Nothnagel's Encyclopedia of Practical Medicine. +++ Contents include: Histology of the Blood, Normal and Pathologic, by Ehrlich and Lazarus; Clinical Features of Anemia, by Lazarus; Chlorosis, by von Noorden; Lymphatic Leukemia, by Pinkus; and Myeloid Leukemia, by Lazarus. Bibliographical references under 'Literature' appear at the end of individual sections; index, pp. 683-714. These bibliographical details correspond with institutional records for the 1905 edition. CONDITION: VERY GOOD. Binding tight and square; text clean with light, even age-toning. Light shelf-handling wear, with rubbing and light wear at the spine ends and tips and a slight longitudinal crease to the spine. Small light spot to the upper front board. Gilt remains clear and attractive. Plates and illustrations remain well preserved. SCIENTIFIC SIGNIFICANCE: BLOOD CELLS BECOME DIAGNOSTIC EVIDENCE. Diseases of the Blood appeared during a formative period in hematology, when advances in microscopy and staining techniques were transforming the classification of blood cells and the diagnosis of blood disorders. The text explicitly discusses the differentiation of leukocytes through stained preparations and the classification associated with Ehrlich. Paul Ehrlich was central to this transformation. His investigations of selective staining and blood-cell morphology helped establish methods by which different leukocyte populations could be distinguished microscopically. This volume brought Ehrlich and his German colleagues' work on blood morphology and disease to an American medical readership in a substantial English-language clinical reference. FROM GERMAN RESEARCH TO AMERICAN MEDICINE: The book also documents the international movement of medical knowledge at the beginning of the twentieth century. Rather than simply reprinting a translation, the American Nothnagel series employed specialists to edit and supplement the German articles for English-speaking physicians. Stengel's 1905 preface specifically describes that editorial process, while contemporary medical publishing records list the volume as a 714-page illustrated treatment of anemia, chlorosis, leukemia, and related blood diseases.

3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition, on aged and unevenly-sunned paper. He begins by giving six numbered points which 'will do for the Introduction' to a prospectus for a magazine. The first reads: 'The biographical & archaeological portion of the Magazine will be placed under the superintendance of the Revd Professor Christmas, M.A. F.R.S.' The succeeding points refer to other sections, with the names of those in charge of three of them added later: 'Biblical Illustrations and religious information' ('Mr Power'); 'Natural History & General Science' ('Mr Wood'); 'Literature and Poetry Reviews' (' Baynes'). He considers it 'quite necessary to have some name for each of the above but especially nos II & III'. He concludes: 'written to Messrs Wood & Morris', but does not have their addresses. 'with regard to Poetry I would say | A series of poems chiefly original and chosen, when selected, from the works of the most gifted writers of Devotional Poetry will appear in the successive numbers of the Magazine under the title of "Lyra Evangelica" It is contemplated after a certain time to form these into a volume - which it is hoped may be acceptable to the Christian Church'. Christmas edited the Church of England Quarterly Review (1840-1843 and 1854-1858), The Churchman (1840-1843), the British Churchman (1845-1848), and the Literary Gazette (1859-1860).…

Coleridge was the nephew of the poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. See his entry, and that of Cranworth, in the Oxford DNB. The letter relates to Palmerston's first ministry. 1p, 16mo (cut down to a 12 x 10 cm piece of wove paper). In fair condition, lightly aged and discoloured, with traces of glue from mount adhering to one edge of blank reverse. Signing himself 'J. T C', Coleridge writes: 'My dear Awdry / I have been with the Chancellor in consequence of the above - & promised to send him a minute in writing - where we have had trouble. Can you help me with your recollection. / In haste. / Yours ever / J. T C'. The context is partially explained by seven lines from a letter in Cranworth's autograph surviving on the reverse: '[.] am told that you can give me some hints as to parts of the bill not working well - or not likely to work well - When can I see you - Could you look in at the house of Lords tomorrow [.]'.…
