Engineers Site Book for Peoria & Oquawka Railroad, c.1850, Undated manuscript note book, c.1850's, ahrd cover with marbled boards 15cm x 18cm, tan cloth spine, inside front cover pasted down is a blue printed paper titled 'Specification for Laying Track on the Peoria and Oquawka Railroad', the first 59 pages contain mainly engineering and surveying notes with some charts, tables and corrections, specific projects are mentioned including Connecticut and Passumpic Rivers Railroad which started in 1840, a private railroad for E. B. Kellog. The Connecticut and Passumpsic Rivers Railroad, commonly known as the Connecticut and Passumpsic, is a vital transportation artery spanning across the picturesque landscape of Vermont. Stretching from White River Junction to the Vermont-Canada border at Beebe Junction, Province of Quebec, Canada, this single-track standard-gauge steam railroad covers a distance of 109.605 miles. In addition to its mainline, the Connecticut and Passumpsic also maintains ownership of 52.006 miles of yard tracks and sidings, resulting in a comprehensive network totaling 161.611 miles of all tracks. Notably, the Connecticut and Passumpsic holds a leasehold interest in the assets of the Massawippi Valley Railway Company, further expanding its operational footprint. The Massawippi Valley Railway, although not included in this report, spans approximately 31.95 miles from Beebe Junction to Lennoxville, Province of Quebec, Canada. Additionally, a branch line extends from Beebe Junction to Stanstead, Province of Quebec, covering a distance of around 3.51 miles. The Connecticut and Passumpsic effectively manages and operates both its owned and leased properties through a leasing arrangement with the Boston and Lowell. This strategic collaboration ensures seamless connectivity and efficient transportation services along the entirety of its route. As a vital link in the region's transportation infrastructure, the Connecticut and Passumpsic Rivers Railroad plays a crucial role in facilitating trade, commerce, and connectivity between Vermont and Canada. With its extensive network and commitment to operational excellence, the Connecticut and Passumpsic continues to serve as a lifeline for communities and industries reliant on reliable rail transportation in the Northeastern United States and beyond.

The standard size microscope slide with a coverslip covering a section of microfilm, with paper labels to the top and bottom with manuscript that reads 'Part of Pigeon post dispatch sent into Paris during seige by pigeon, Bals.' the images is signed at the bottom 'Rene Dagron & Co.'The Siege of Paris (1871) occurred between 19 September 1870 – 28 January 1871, during the Franco-Prussian War. Napoleon III’s armies were pushed back after the Battle of Sedan, resulting in the Emperor’s surrender. However, the French Third Republic that was formed after his abdication were not ready for peace with Prussia. In response, the Prussians lay siege to Paris for four and half months. In order to bring the siege to a close, the Prussians fired 12,000 shells into the city within three weeks. In the end, however, it was starvation and working class resentment that brought peace to the city. The Pigeon Post - During the siege, communication was maintained with the outside world through the use of hot-air balloons and carrier pigeons. The first successful balloon flight out of Paris was Neptune, piloted by Jules Duruof, followed two days later by Ville de Florence, piloted by Gabriel Mangin. This second balloon contained a basket of carrier pigeons, which enabled messages to start being relayed into the city and more balloons to be sent out. French photographers used innovative microphotography, pioneered by John Benjamin Dancer in 1839, to enable the transferral of large amounts of important information. This process was overseen by Blaise, who printed the messages on photographic paper, and the images were then viewed through microscopes and microscope projectors.

Anatole France. (Vie de Jeanne d'Arc). IX. Le siège d'Orléans. Eigenhändiges, signiertes Manuskript des Autors. Um 1908. 2 Bll., 34 hs. num. Bll. 4°. HPgt. d. Zt. mit hs. Rückentitel, Marmordeckeln und -vorsätzen. In gefüttertem HPgt.-Schuber (etwas berieben). Mit eigenhändiger Widmung des Autors an Léopold Kahn: "Je suis heureux d'offrir ce chapitre de l'histoire de Jeanne d'Arc à mon vieil ami Léopold Kahn. Anatole France." - Aus der Sammlung Hubert Heilbronn, mit Exlibris auf vorderem Vorsatz. Des Weiteren mit gestochenem Exlibris des Autors. - Das Werk von Anatole France aus dem Jahr 1908 ist eine der weltweit am häufigsten übersetzten Biographien über Jeanne d'Arc. In Frankreich ist es jedoch nahezu unbekannt, da es seit 1949 nicht mehr neu aufgelegt wurde. Die im hier vorliegenden Kapitel beschriebene Belagerung von Orléans ist die größte kriegerische Leistung in der Legende der Jeanne d'Arc. Dieses Kapitel ist daher das Bravourstück, an dem sich jede Biographie der französischen Nationalheldin messen lassen muss. - Der Originalumschlag mit hs. Kapitelüberschrift miteingebunden. Es folgt ein weiteres unnummeriertes Bl. mit Wiederholung des Titels und der Widmung an Kahn. Das Manuskript veranschaulicht auf eindrückliche Weise die Genese des Kapitels anhand zahlreicher Durchstreichungen, Korrekturen und Textergänzungen in Form von einzelnen, montierten Passagen. - Léopold Kahn (gest. 1927) war der Vertraute des Autors beim Verlag Calmann-Lévy, wo Kahn in leitender Position tätig war. - Spuren eines geglätteten horizontalen Mittelfalz. Original-Umschlag mit Einrissen. Mit leichten, werkimmanenten Gebrauchsspuren. Wundervolles Zeugnis französischer Literaturgeschichte. Die gültige Ausfuhrgenehmigung des französischen Staates liegt vor. Autograph, signed manuscript by the author. About 1908. Cont. half vellum with autograph spine title, marbled boards and endpapers. In lined half vellum slipcase (somewhat rubbed). - With autograph dedication by the author to Léopold Kahn: "Je suis heureux d'offrir ce chapitre de l'histoire de Jeanne d'Arc à mon vieil ami Léopold Kahn. Anatole France." - From the collection of Hubert Heilbronn, with bookplate on front endpaper. Also with engraved bookplate of the author. - Anatole France's work for 1908 is one of the most frequently translated biographies of Joan of Arc in the world. In France, however, it is virtually unknown as it has not been reprinted since 1949. The siege of Orléans described in the present chapter is the greatest military achievement in the legend of Joan of Arc. This chapter is therefore the bravura piece by which every biography of the French national heroine must be measured. - The original wrappers with the chapter title in manuscript bound in. This is followed by another unnumbered leaf with a repetition of the title and the dedication to Kahn. The manuscript impressively illustrates the genesis of the chapter by means of numerous crossings out, corrections and additions to the text in the form of mounted passages. - Léopold Kahn (d. 1927) was the author's confidant at the Calmann-Lévy publishing house, where Kahn held a leading position. - Traces of a smoothed horizontal centrefold. Original wrappers with small tears. With slight signs of wear consistent with the work. Wonderful testimony to French literary history. With valid export licence of the French state.
