This is a biography of George Buchanan (1506-1582), a Scottish historian and humanist scholar. His ideology of resistance to royal usurpation gained widespread acceptance during the Scottish Reformation. The greater part of the work was written by Robert Wallace (1831-1899), a British writer who had a varied career as a classics teacher, minister, university professor, newspaper editor, barrister and finally a Member of Parliament. It has been completed by John Campbell Smith (1828-1914), a Scottish writer, advocate and Sheriff-substitute of Forfarshire. The book is bound in the original red cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spine and front boards and a white and gold illustration on the front board.

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 Laborat. Signed.

Very good. - Over 80 words typed on 10-3/4 inch high by 8 inch wide "Department of the Air Force / 11th Aeromedical Airlift Squadron" stationery. Major Jack B. Compton writes to Colonel Lee / Special Missions: "On 6 November 1972, the 11th Aeromedical Airlift Squadron supported Governor Wallace in providing aeromedical airlift from Maxwell AFB to Cape Kennedy to Maxwell AFB". As extra snacks were not budgeted for beyond the frozen meal service, and had to be paid out-of-pocket, Major Compton is including a bill for "snack and soft drink service for the Governor's party of 23 persons." Signed "Jack B. Compton". Stapled to additional supporting letters, with a piece out from the top left corner. As Governor Wallace's "Transportation was sponsored by the Vice President", stapled to Compton's letter is a Typed Memorandum "for Wayne Smith" from the "Vice Presidential Pilot's Office" on 9 inch high by 7 inch wide "Office of the Vice President" Stationery. An additional "Memorandum" typed on 10-1/2 inch high by 8 inch wide "Office of the Vice President" stationery is addressed to Vice President Spiro T. Agnew's Chief-of-Staff Arthur J. Sohmer by Wayne Smith. The letter is signed by Smith and annotated "Susan - pay here" by Sohmer with his initials. The correspondence is accompanied by an original official "John F Kennedy Space Center, NASA" 8 inch high by 10 inch wide matte finish black & white photograph depicting Governor George Wallace waving to others from his wheel chair. The Governor is accompanied by family and staff. Fine. The Governor's flight took place on December 6th but, rare for Apollo missions, the launch was delayed until December 7. The longest serving governor of Alabama George Wallace (1919-1998) was shot and paralyzed by Arthur Bremer while running in the 1972 Democratic presidential primaries. Then a major, Colonel Jack Barney Compton (1935-2023) served in the U.S. Air Force for 28 years. During his career, he flew missions in and out of Vietnam, including flying POW's home. He was stationed at Cam Rahn Bay in Vietnam for 9 months. He subsequently flew air missions for the Special Air Missions Unit which flew President Nixon's family as well as senators and General Omar Bradley. He flew President Johnson's remains to Texas for burial.
