About this Item

In good condition. Attractive restored leather binding. Restored marbled end papers. Heavily drawn in by Littleton Purnell Franklin (more information below). Remarkable drawings and marginalia. Truly unique! Doodles mostly on end papers, but some are scattered about. Typical toning to pages. Some moderate foxing sporadically. Binding intact. Please see photos. Olmsted was a physicist and astronomer at Yale. He was interested in the application of science to practical problems and natural philosophy at this time referred to the way scientific research could be applied to solving practical problems. Our book was owned by American politician Littleton Purnell Franklin (1831-1888). He entered Yale College in the third term of the Freshman year. After graduation in 1849, he read law in Snow Hill, Maryland with the late Judge John R. Franklin, and in May, 1852, he was admitted to the bar. He never practiced law due to ill health, but employed principally in farming near Berlin. In 1867 he represented Worcester County in the convention which framed the present Constitution of Maryland. He was elected in 1871 to the Maryland House of Delegates from this county to the Democratic ticket, and in 1877 to the Maryland State Senate. Seller Inventory # RAREA1844AHLA
