Four pages, 12mo, bifolium, some staining not obscuring text, mainly good condition. Text: " I am in a dilemma. Shall I praise myself! Or shall I let your most creditable piece of journalism go unrecognised? Which shall I be accused of - vanity or ingratitude? Truly tis a question but since I alone suffer by vanity I shall not s…pare words of appreciation of your very graceful sketch of me in yesterdays' Journal. Mr Upham and myself agree in saying it is quite as creditable to you as to me - and I am 'proud' in being read in such a paper as the Home Journal. You know my idea of the latter - as necessary to my happines, as my prayer book is to my salvation! | To return to the sketch, I prticularly like it for its freedom from 'gush' and 'sensationalism' and I thank you for your 'charming' words. Now, for the picture. Mr Upham (and he is a good judge) calls it as good a reproduction as he ever saw, and I am glad to say 'tis not a caricature as has been my lot to possess. Let me thank your good husband and yourself - and be on the lookout for an advance copy of 'The Race of the Golden Rod'. | I ordered forty of the Journal, but dear me, they are lost in a sea of memories, so Mr Upham will tomorrow order more, many more- How glad I was that I saw you as I did on Friday last.

One page of text, 12mo, bifolium, some dusting not obscuring text, minor stain, mainly good condition. Text: "Having just received a letter from Liebig I have called a meeting of the Committee [of Philosophical Society of Glasgow presumably] fo tomorrow in the Andersonian Library at half past two - I enclose the letter, which yo…u will perhaps shew to Dr. Balfour [John Hutton Balfour, Professor of Botany at the University of Glasgow, etc.] and request his attendance. We must endeavour to overcome his scruples." Notes: "German scientist who made major contributions to the theory, practice, and pedagogy of chemistry, as well as to agricultural and biological chemistry"; B Possibly irrelevant but "By the 1840s, Liebig was attempting to apply theoretical knowledge from organic chemistry to real-world problems of food availability. His book Die organische Chemie in ihrer Anwendung auf Agricultur und Physiologie (Organic Chemistry in its Application to Agriculture and Physiology) (1840) promoted the idea that chemistry could revolutionize agricultural practice, increasing yields and lowering costs. It was widely translated, vociferously critiqued, and highly influential". [Wikipedia].

Three pages, 12mo, bifolium, good condition. Text: "Note: " [about his requests] You are no doubt aware that Mr Whistler strongly objected to anything in the nature of a Biography or a life of himself being published, and in these circumstances I do not feel that I shouyld co-operatein any work of that kind although I have no ob…jection to your doing in moderation what others have already done with regard to the illustrations. | Ass regards the publication of quotations or extracts from books such as the Ten O'Clock ["Mr. WHISTLER'S TEN O'CLOCK As Delivered in London, At Cambridge And at Oxford together with his Propositions and Propositions No.2", pub.1907] you will know that such publications, within reasonable limits is within the rights of everyone: again I have no objection to your doing in moderation, what others have already done. As to Mr Whistler's correspondence, I have always felt obliged to refuse permission to anyone to publish Mr. Whistler's letters in view of his express directions to me in regard tp them. The correspondence with Fantin Latour extracts from which were published by Monsieur Benedite in the 'Gazette des Beaux Arts' was so published with my knowledge, in connection with the exhibition of Mr. Whistler''s works in Paris, and I prefer thatr they should not appear again. | I appreciate your kind offer to let me see a proff of your book, but even if I [? see image] to associate myself with a book of that character, I fear that I am much too busy just at present to accept it." Notes: A. See Wikipedia entry for Rosalind Birnie Philip, "Whistler's sole beneficiary and the executrix in his will."; B. "Beatrice (also called 'Beatrix' or 'Trixie')[daughter of John Birnie Philip, sculptor], who married James McNeill Whistler in 1888. Their daughter Ethel married the writer Charles Whibley. Birnie's youngest daughter Rosalind Birnie Philip acted as Whistler's companion, secretary and house-keeper after Beatrice's death, and was appointed his executrix. From December 1900 to February 1901 Birnie's son Ronald accompanied Whistler on a trip to the Morocco, Algiers and Corsica.[16] Beatrice, Ronald, Ethel and Rosalind all modelled for him at various times, as did their mother Frances."

Manuscript, Initialled by Author, 6pp., 4to, two bifoliums, good condition. SEE IMAGE FOR FULL TEXT. The essay commences with a reference to Charles Darwin, "Origin" having been published a few years before; "I suppose that animal life - supplied and controlled by the spirit of God (Gen[esis] I.2) - took its upward course throug…h the Ages, developing (possibly one from another as Mr Darwin supposes) and including all the different forms that are or have been, up to the 'man' of the Drift.[See Note below re. Pleistocene]. I suppose this creature's organism to have been similar to our own and his instinct & organic action, and the degree of its development must depend on the nature of an animals organs. I do not suppose that this man was more than an animal - that he had reason or speech- Birds build their nests by instinct; [For rest of text see images]" Note: A. The talk or lecture is in a flimsy folder on which is an apparent ascription to an "H.Harris" BUT see photograph of the concluding initials (not interpreted by me); B. "The image [of one page of six] is a handwritten letter or manuscript page from June 1865, containing a discussion of mythological and historical theories regarding ancient peoples and their origins. The author speculates on topics such as the origins of amber trade routes, the identity of the Finns and other northern tribes as descendants of Tubal Cain, and the potential characteristics of the descendants of Cain. The text concludes by acknowledging that these are merely theories, subject to change with better information or understanding of 'revelation.'" [AI]; C."The Middle and Late Pleistocene is arguably the most interesting period in human evolution. This broad period witnessed the evolution of our own lineage, as well as that of our sister taxon, the Neanderthals, and related Denisovans. It is exceptionally rich in both fossil and archaeological remains, and uniquely benefits from insights gained through molecular approaches, such as paleogenetics and paleoproteomics, that are currently not widely applicable in earlier contexts. This wealth of information paints a highly complex picture, often described as 'the Muddle in the Middle,' defying the common adage that 'more evidence is needed' to resolve it."
