Description:
Mark Twain's son-in-law (wife of Clara Clemens) was a Russian-born pianist and conductor who studied under Anton Rubenstein and Theodor Leschetizky; from 1918 until his death he led the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. AMuQS, 1p, heavy stock 3½" X 2½" card, n.p., n.y. [1902]. Near fine. Light, even age toning. On a 2½" X 1" slip tipped to the center of this heavy card, Gabrilowitsch neatly writes out three measures of music, identifying it above as "Chopin, Concerto." Below the slip, on the heavy card he signs boldly. Quite attractive and very uncommon in this form.

US Brig Eagle dateline on Oct 14, 1814 stampless letter written by John R Briggs, surgeon aboard the USS Saratoga during the Battle of Plattsburg on Lake Champlain Sept 11, 1814. In this letter he writes to Raymond H J Perry, brother to Oliver Perry of War of 1812 fame. In the letter he writes " I sincerely regret your unfortunate illness at our late glorious success deprived the ship of your services and you no doubt of an opportunity of evincing to the world that there is yet more Perry's. Yet Sir, permit me to say you derive much consolation from the reflection of having discharged your duty". He sends more praise to Perry reflection upon his service as a ship's officer, and then discusses the fate of Sackett's Harbor and that Chauncy has no doubt been obliged to retire, and the British land and naval forces are now before the harbor. The stampless folded letter has a manuscript Plattsbh postmark, and a manuscript 20 ct rate for carriage to Bristol RI, where Raymond Perry resided.

Manuscrit. Bon. En Feuilles. In-8. 90 pp. in-8 dans un cahier (couvertures et premiers et dernier feuillets détachés). Début d'un long travail sur l'origine des langues indo-européennes, d'une écriture rapide, avec très peu de ratures, mais difficile à déchiffrer. Le cahier contient deux chapitres, d'abord "les données du problème et sa solution traditionnelle" puis, non terminé, "les inductions de la linguistique et l'époque proto-aryenne". Jacques Damourette, célibataire et infirme (il était à la fois borgne, tuberculeux et épileptique), ne pratiqua presque pas son métier d'architecte mais consacra sa vie à l'étude de la grammaire : il est l'auteur d'un "Traité moderne de ponctuation", d'un "Projet de réforme orthographique" (avec Albert Dauzat) et surtout, avec son…
