Cloth. Zustand: Very good. From the Executive Mansion library of President James A. Garfield, The Credit Mobilier of America by Rowland Hazard, a railroad construction scandal that almost ended Garfield's political aspirations. (illustrator). First Edition. Octavo, [2], 42pp, [2]. Pebbled brown cloth, title in gilt on the front cover. Historical society stamp on title page and page [43]. Small loss to linen on the spine, offsetting to front endpaper. This paper was issued in half morocco, brown cloth and paper wraps. Bookplate of James A. Garfield, which reads: "Library of James A. Garfield. Inter Folia Fructus" on the front pastedown. This copy is inscribed by the author on the copyright page: "The Executive Mansion Library / Washington DC / from the author / R. Hazard." The Crédit Mobilier scandal of 1872 involved the Union Pacific Railroad and the Crédit Mobilier construction company, whose executives created a scheme to inflate construction costs of a portion of the Transcontinental Railroad, which was backed by government grants. The stockholders retained the profits and bribed members of Congress with discounted stock options to prevent investigation. When the scandal broke publicly in 1872, it implicated several prominent politicians. Representative James A. Garfield was accused of accepting ten shares of Crédit Mobilier stock, though he denied wrongdoing and maintained that he had merely been offered the shares but never received them. While no conclusive evidence proved Garfield profited, the controversy damaged his reputation, though he weathered it politically and continued to rise in public office. Signed.

Zustand: Good. 393 Bleeker Street, New York, possibly late 1950's or early 1960's. . Good. - Original typed manuscripts consisting of 99 pages in all typed on 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide off-white paper, with his name and address typed at the top of the first page of the first 3 stories. The first is a 17 page story titled "Lonesome Road" with his name and address typed at the top. The story's main character is Mark who, unknown to us is introduced in a flashback after the discovery of a car wreck, "When the old truck came around the corner of the road the wheel on the overturned car was still spinning. The truck stopped, and two men go out to look at the wreck. 'Jesus, Tom,' one of them said. 'Jesus, what a mess.'." The story goes on to relate how Mark, now driving drunk with a gun, has discovered that his wife is cheating with his best friend. Driving away after the heated painful confrontation, Mark encounters a dog "In front of Marston's barn a large black dog ran out into the road and began to bark shrilly. It got a head start, and ran alongside him as he tried to maneuver the curving hill beyond Marston's house. . Suddenly the animal swerved playfully toward his left front wheel, an Mark turned sharply to the right. He did not know why, nor could he have explained in what way it was right and proper that is should be so, but suddenly it had became terribly important not to hit the dog. It had become more important than anything in the world." There are a few corrections in pencil throughout and Charles has penciled a note at the top of the front page, possibly to his father Mark Van Doren, "This is changed at the end pursuant to your suggestion. Satisfy you? I think is better." There are paper clip indentations at the top left and the first page is slightly soiled with some minor chips to the top and left edges. The corners of a few pages are lightly creased and the front edges of the last two pages are chipped. The second is a 14 page carbon typescript of a story titled "The Game" in which, at the start of the story the protagonist, a traveling salesman, is cheating at solitaire while pondering his life and slowly losing his mind, or is he? "The kind of solitaire he was playing, which is called by some enthusiasts Klondike and by others Canfield, is a simple game; it was the money angle that made it interesting to Ray. He is interrupted by a phone call from Janet who is concerned about him and in the middle of the conversation Ray exclaims "'My hand's alive,' he said. 'Ray, I can't stand it! You make me terribly nervous. Now what are you talking about?'." Charles Van Doren's name and address are typed at the top and there are a few typed corrections. There are indentations from a paper clip at the top left and the pages are soiled with staining to the top corner of the first page and chipping to the edges of several pages. The third is a 10 page carbon typescript of a story titled "The Great Caterpillar War". "The other day I read in the TIMES that there is going to be a great infestation of tent caterpillars this summer--the worst in many years, the article said. I was reminded of a previous attack the caterpillars made on our society, and was dismayed that two of the most stalwart defenders of our way of life from caterpillars had given up the battle and would not compete this year." "The two warriors were my brother and myself, and the time must have been about 1936, when I was ten and he was eight years old." Charles Van Doren's name and address are typed at the top of the first page. There are indentations from a paper clip at the top of the pages and the top corner and front edge of the first page are darkened. There is some soiling and the front edges of the last 2 pages are slightly chipped. The fourth is a 56 page story titled "Summer Afternoon". "The sun was shining brightly in at the window when Philip Turner opened his eyes. He realized that he had not pulled down the shades the night before, which negligence he deeply regretted as he lay on his back, eyes half closed, for Sunday morning was when you should sleep and it wasn't fair to wake up at half-past nine---he glanced at the clock-- when there wasn't really any reason to get up at all, the whole day long." Charles Van Doren has made corrections in pencil throughout. There is a rust stain from a large paper clip to the first and last page and some soiling throughout. The edges of a few pages are chipped. Charles Van Doren has additionally translated 2 poems. The first carbon typescript is of the three stanzas of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's lyric poem "Mignon", the first stanza of which reads: "Dost thou know the land where the citron blooms? / Where in the dark foliage the golden orange gleams? / Where the wind is soft in the blue sky / And silent myrtles and the tall laurel sway? / Dost thou know it well? / It is there, there! ? That I would be with thee, O Beloved -- there!". The second carbon typescript is a translation of Charles Baudelaire's poem in 4 stanzas "Eyes of Jet", translated from "Je te donne ces vers afin que si mon non.", the first stanza of which reads: "I give you these lines in order that, should my name / Happily descend to distant times / And cause a human mind, some evening, to dream / (Like a ship favored by the cold north wind,." The edges of both pages are darkened, soiled and chipped with pieces out along the bottom edges. UNIQUE. We have not been able to find a record of these stories having been published. Charles Van Doren submitted short stories to periodicals, one of which, a science fiction story titled "S.R.", was published in the July 1957 issue of "The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction". another "And Now We Meet Again" appeared in the March 1956 issue of McCall's. Charles' father Mark Van Doren bought the Bleeker Street home in February of 1929, where he, his wife novelist Dorothy Graffe and son Charles took up residence.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. Original TLS by Nevzat Tandogan. Oblong: 16,5x20 cm. In Turkish. 1 p. Punching holes on right side folded traces. Dated 9/V/1939. Six lines. Tandogan was the fourth mayor and governor of Ankara serving between 1929 and 1946. He committed suicide upon a political scandal he was involved in. Abdullah Nevzat Tandogan was born into a wealthy family in 1894 in Istanbul, then Ottoman Empire. His father was from Sarajevo and his mother from Belgrade. He completed his education at Istanbul Law School, today Istanbul University Faculty of Law. After the Surname Law was enacted in Turkey in 1934, he adopted the family name Tandogan. He was married and had two children. During World War I, he served as an intelligence officer in the Ottoman Army in Istanbul. In the later years of the war, he began a career as a school teacher in Istanbul. In 1918, he entered police service. After serving at leading posts in various police departments, he quit. He became Governor of Malatya in 1925 before he entered politics from the Republican People's Party) (CHP) and was elected into the Grand National Assembly as deputy of Konya in the 1927 general election. On November 4, 1929, he resigned from his parliamentary seat to take office as Governor of Ankara. Serving also as the acting city mayor, he was uninterrupted 17 years long in this position. Tandogan was a civil servant and politician of the single-party era (1923-1945). The political philosophy of the era was understood so as "the government has the authority to determine and to do what is useful and best for the country, knowing better than everyone, especially the folk". Tandogan's political attitude is described best with his words he said to a young man as "We constitute Communism in this country if it is necessary". Tandogan had a dissenting opinion to the 1929 Jansen Plan by German architect and urban planner Hermann Jansen(1869-1945). The plan proposed the integration of green belts and areas within the rapid-growing new capital of the newly established Republic for promoting a healthy urban environment. The realization of Ankara's master plan as different from the Jansen Plan is his practice. In 1945, a murder occurred in Ankara, which became known as the "Ankara Murder" (Turkish: Ankara Cinayeti). Tandogan was accused of intentionally and deliberately covering the murder case, in which Ha?met Orbay, the son of the then Chief of the General Staff Kâzim Orbay, was involved. Tandogan was summoned to court to testify after the case was discussed in a question time in the parliament. It was believed that calling a high-ranked civil servant or politician to the witness stand in a court trial was unthinkable during the single-party era before 1945. The next day, on July 9, 1946, Nevzat Tandogan committed suicide by shooting himself at home with a firearm. The main square in Ankara, which hosted many political party rallies and protests, was named in his honor. In 2012, the city council of the metropolitan municipality changed the square's initial name from "Nevzat Tandogan Square" to "Tandogan Square". A public park in Batikent neighborhood of Yenimahalle, Ankara as well as a street in Kavaklidere neighborhood of Çankaya, Ankara is also named after him. Signed by Author(s).

(London, W. Bulmer and Co., 1803). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1803 - Part II. Pp.290-320. A few faint brownspots to margins. First printing of this controversial paper in the history of chemistry."In 1803 an anonymous handbill was circulated among British scientists. It announced the isolation of a new chemical element, palladium or "new silver", and offered the metal for sale. Chenevix, believing the announcement to be a fraud, purchased the whole stock. He set about analyzing it with the preconceived notion that it was an alloy of platinum and mercury. After a series of laborious experiments, he concluded that palladium was in fact an amalgam of platinum made in some peculier way. His report to the Royal Society (the paper offered) caused a sensation. Not long after, Wollaston read to the society a paper in which he declared himself the author of the handbill and the discoverer of two new elements in crude platinum ore - namely, palladium and rhodium. About 1804, with his scientific reputation badly damaged, Chenevix left England and went to France, where he lived for the remainder of his life."(DSB III, p. 232).A paper by Thomas Andrew Knight is printed together with Chenevix' paper: "Account of some Experiments on the Sescent of the Sap in Trees.", pp. 277-289 a. 1 engraved plate.
