Hardcover. Condición: Near Fine. No Jacket. FIRST EDITION. Frontisportrait. Contemporary prize binding. Very Good. Prize bookplate on front pastedown, inscribed in April, 1857, to James J. Wilson by James D. Forbes. 'Still the definitive source on Young's life, since it uses material such as his journal which have since disappeared' (Home no. 83). Forbes (1809- 1868) 'was a Scottish physicist who worked extensively on the conduction of heat, seismology and glaciology. Forbes was a resident of Edinburgh for most of his life, educated at the University and a professor there from 1833 until he became principal of the United College of St. Andrews in 1859. . . . At the age of nineteen he became a fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, and in 1832 he was elected to the Royal Society of London. A year later he was appointed professor of natural philosophy in Edinburgh University, in succession to Sir John Leslie and in competition with Sir David Brewster, and during his tenure of that office, which he did not give up till 1860, he not only proved himself an active and efficient teacher, but also did much to improve the internal conditions of the university. In 1859 he was appointed successor to Brewster in the principalship of the United College of St. Andrews, a position which he held until his death at Clifton in 1868. As a scientific investigator he is best known for his researches on heat and on glaciers. Between 1836 and 1844 he published in the Trans. Roy. Soc. Ed. four series of 'Researches on Heat,' in the course of which he demonstrated that tourmaline would polarize infrared thermal radiation, by transmission through a bundle of thin mica plates inclined to the transmitted ray, and by reflection from the multiplied surfaces of a pile of mica plates placed at the polarizing angle, and also its circular polarization by two internal reflections in rhombs of rock salt. His work won him the Rumford Medal of the Royal Society in 1838, and in 1843 he received its Royal Medal for a paper on the 'Transparency of the Atmosphere and the Laws of Extinction of the Sun's Rays passing through it' ' (Wikipedia).

Very good. Full professional restoration. Mounted on heavy linen. Size 22 x 32.5 Inches. This is a c. 1858 Alexander Lyman Holley chromolithograph of a steam locomotive named 'Young America.' This is something of a holy grail for railroad collectors due to its fine coloration, impressive design, and overall rarity. The broadside was issued as a promotional piece for Breese, Kneeland, and Company, locomotive manufacturers in Jersey City, New Jersey. The Locomotive The locomotive appears in bright yellow, red, and green. A plaque on the boiler declares the locomotive's name, while a brightly colored headlamp and cattle catcher adorn the front. A second plaque above the first set of wheels bears the Breese, Kneeland, and Company name, while a shield between the drive wheels reads 'New York Locomotive Works.' Per an obituary in the February 18, 1882, edition of American Machinist While employed at Jersey City, [Holly] made the first colored and shaded drawing ever made in those works. It was of the locomotive 'America' and was noticeably finer than the lithographs subsequently made from it, eliciting the warm admiration of every mechanic who saw it. Breese, Kneeland, and Company Active between 1853 and 1873, Breese, Kneeland, and Company was first known as the New York Locomotive Works but operated under several names during its twenty years. First owned by Charles Kneeland, William Hamilton, and S. Breese, the firm built steam locomotives. Encrease Personette Gould (1822 - 1876) served as the firm's first shop foreman and designer. The firm built around 300 locomotives, of which only one survives. The El Paso and Southwestern Railroad No. 1 is part of the collection at the Centennial Museum at the University of Texas, El Paso. Chromolithography Chromolithography, sometimes called oleography, is a color lithographic technique developed in the mid-19th century. The process involved using multiple lithographic stones, one for each color, to yield a rich composite effect. Oftentimes, the process would start with a black basecoat upon which subsequent colors were layered. Some chromolithographs used 30 or more separate lithographic stones to achieve the desired product. Chromolithograph color could also be effectively blended for even more dramatic results. The process became popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries when it emerged as the dominant method of color printing. The vivid color chromolithography produced made it exceptionally effective for advertising and propaganda imagery. Publication History and Census This lithograph was drawn by Alexander Lyman Holley and published c. 1858 by Endicott and Company. Likely, this piece was used to promote Breese, Kneeland, and Company to prospective clients. We note only one cataloged example, which is part of the collection of the Monmouth County Historical Association. References: Monmouth County Historical Association 1984.520.…
