Pamphlet. Zustand: Very Good. No Dust Jacket. Second Edition. Paperclip stain and snag atop front cover, dampstain at spine tail, light cover tone, otherwise light wear. Solid paperback sewn pamphlet. 5-1/2 x 3-1/4". ; Harry Aubrey Toulmin, Sr and Alexander Harrison Semmes were prominent patent attorneys and partners in Washington DC during the early 1880's. Toulmin moved to Springfield, Ohio in 1886, and won reknown as the patent lawyer for the Wright Brothers. "In particular, Toulmin's genius as a patent attorney predicated and helped the Wright Brothers patent slats, the spoiler, the aileron, the flaps, the elevator, and the Rudder for an airplane. Without these, an airplane cannot be controlled any more than a car can be controlled without movable wheels. Without a license to the Wright brothers' patent, it was not legally possible to build or fly a controllable airplane in the early 20th century." - Wikipedia. Both of these attorneys had sons who were also noted patent attorneys, Harry Aubrey Toulmin Jr and General Harry H Semmes. This small pamphlet was a perfect advertising piece for the law firm, during the dynamic 1880's period of American invention and industrialization, and was offered "sent free" via period newspaper advertising. It outlines the steps needed to patent an invention, as well as Toulmin & Semmes' fee schedule. Not listed in WorldCat. A scarce piece of legal history ephemera from two prominent patent attorneys of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. ; 23 pages.…
