Nobody can really explain it. You just have to understand that bizarre things happen there. No one knows why, they just do. Weird things. The kind of things you don't even want to dream about in your worst nightmares. Like what happens this Halloween to Sam Jones, Eleanor Trent, Tina Broadbent, Chuck Antrim, and Cody Banning. Trick or Treat is crazy enough, with ghosts and goblins and witches and warlocks and all manner of other nasties roaming the street. But in Oxrun Station, the masks aren't always made of rubber. This year the fabric of the cosmos is unravelling, and dark and dangerous things are leaking across the borders. A horror novella in five segments each by a different author, one for each character. Condition: This copy is in very good condition, with one light crease to the spine. Signed by Author(s).

46 signed letters [34 TLS, 12 ALS] comprising decades of correspondence between Frederick Gardner Cottrell and various notable figures of his day in U.S. politics, the international science community, and academia. All letters are housed in new archival mylar sleeves. Cottrell was a notable chemist, inventor, and philanthropist, best known today for his invention of the electrostatic precipitator - one of the first inventions to combat air pollution - and his founding of the Research Corporation for Science Advancement, which used the revenue from the electrostatic precipitator to fund further scientific research, and continues to do so today. While best remembered for these feats, Cottrell had a long and influential career both in the U.S. Federal Government and as a science consultant. He was well known nationally and internationally - in industry, in government, and in academia - for his support of and contributions to new ideas and new talent within the scientific community. The letters, which span from 1901-1941, track Cottrell over the course of 40 years, and evidence the many relationships he had over that period with some of the most influential people of the time. These include a letter of introduction from Alexander Graham Bell, a discussion of chemistry with Thomas Edison, replies from two Nobel Prize winning scientists - the discoverer of the noble gasses, William Ramsay, and discoverer of the electron, J. J. Thomson - to Cottrell's request to study in their labs, and exchanges with two presidents, Herbert Hoover and Woodrow Wilson. Other letters show his personal interactions with leading scientists of his day (Robert J. Van de Graaff, Georges Claude, George E. Hale) and heads of industry (Henry L. Doherty, Ivy Lee), and track the path of his career through his time as the director of the Bureau of Mines; to chairman of the Division of Chemistry and Chemical Technology on the National Research Council; to head of the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Fixed Nitrogen Research Lab, and beyond. These letters, the vast majority of which were sent by these notable figures to Cottrell, evidence his expertise, the depth and breadth of his professional interests, and his eagerness to collaborate and share research and ideas, coming together to trace the life of a man whose work was and continues to be consequential to the advancement of science as a whole. Shelved case 1. CONTENTS: 1-Page TLS from inventor of the telephone Alexander Graham Bell to a Mr. Fish, dated December 20, 1911, introducing Cottrell to him. In Very Good condition. In this letter, Bell is writing in his capacity as Regent of the Smithsonian Institution. On 1331 Connecticut Avenue letterhead. Faintly creased, with mild wrinkling along the edges. Signed in black ink by Bell: "Alexander Graham Bell". 1-page TLS from inventor of the light bulb Thomas Edison to Cottrell dated January 13, 1925, discussing the unexpected results of a past chemistry experiment of his in relation to the generation of ammonia. In Very Good condition. TLS is on Edison's personal letterhead ("From the Laboratory of Thomas A. Edison"). Lightly age toned, with some wrinkling and small closed tears along the top edge. Faintly creased from past folding. Signed by Edison in black ink: "Thos. A. Edison". Includes a lightly soiled 1-page facsimile of Cottrell's reply. 2-page ALS from Nobel Prize winning physicist Joseph John Thomson to an unnamed recipient, likely Cottrell, dated July 6, 1901, discussing the possibility of Cottrell coming to study at Thomson's lab. In Very Good condition. In 1901, Cottrell would have been studying in Europe at the University of Berlin, seeking to study in the laboratory of an accomplished scientist. Thomson was already a figure of some renown for his 1897 discovery of the electron, which represented the first identification of a subatomic particle, and would be awarded the 1906 Nobel Prize in Physics in recognition of his work. ALS is on Cavendish Laborat. Signed.

Surprisingly little appears to have been written about the public baths at 12 Nicolson Square, Edinburgh; with no references to it on the Scottish Archives Network. There is however an informative reference to the subject in Francis H. Groome's 'Ordnance Gazetteer of Scotland' (1884): 'Good public baths, of various kinds and various extent, for the upper and the middle classes, are in several parts both of the city and its environs. Public baths for the working classes were long a desideratum, though earnestly desired by many of the working classes themselves. A proposal to establish them by subscription was at length spiritedly begun in 1844, but somewhat flaggingly carried out. The chief suite of them was fitted up in a tenement purchased for the purpose in Nicolson Square. They cost upwards of £1000 beyond the amount of the subscriptions paid in or obtainable; passed under the immediate management of persons who became bound for the extra sum; and were so well constructed and so much appreciated that nothing but the debt upon them prevented the immediate extending and cheapening of baths for working men.' ITEM ONE. Printed prospectus, headed 'PUBLIC BATHS FOR THE WORKING CLASSES.' Signed in type by 'D. McLAREN' and 'WM. JOHNSTON'. Dated 'Edinburgh, 14th July 1847.' 1p., 4to. Begins: 'SIR, | AT a Meeting of the Association for the establishment of BATHS FOR THE WORKING CLASSES, held in the Council Chambers on the 6th. inst., - the Right Hon. Lord Dunfermline in the Chair - a Report was laid before the Meeting, giving a statement of the whole proceedings of the Association, together with a detailed account of the total receipts and expenditure. It appeared, from these documents, that the PUBLIC BATHS ARE NOW COMPLETED and ready for being opened, in Nicolson square, one of the most central situations in town for those who are expected to use them. There are Fourteen Baths on the Lowest Floor and Back Area, for which the charge of Fourpence is proposed to be made, including Hot Baths; Five on the Street Floor, fitted up in a superior manner, for which Sixpence will be charged; and Five on the Upper Floor, having accommodation equal to any in town, for which a Shilling will be charged. From this class it is expected a profit will be derived, so as, with the others, to make the whole Establishment self-supporting, if opened free from the incumbrance of debt. [last eight words in italics] | With reference to the Expenditure and Receipts, it appeared that the whole outlay in reference to, and including the original purchase-money of the property, had been £2585, 8s. 5d., of which £1645, 0s. 10d. have been paid, thus leaving a deficiency of £940, 7s. 7d.' An appeal for subscriptions is made, and the name of members who have 'agreed to double their subscriptions' is given (including Bishop Gillis). Eight parties receiving subscriptions are named, from 'MESSRS WILLIAM BLACKWOOD & SONS, 45, George Street' to 'MR THOMAS IRELAND, 4, Hunter Square, General Collector to the Baths Fund.' It is stressed that the matter is 'peculiarly important at the present period, when the promotion of habits of personal cleanliness may be instrumental in preventing the spreading of contagious disease which prevails to such a great extent in this City.' Similar items, concerning meeting at the Hopetoun Rooms and Music Hall are listed on COPAC, but this item is not to be found, either on COPAC or WorldCat. ITEM TWO: Secretarial Letter, signed by Charles Gardner, Secretary of 'the Committee appointed for establishing working Men's Baths in Edinburgh', to the Directors of the Bank of Scotland. Committee Rooms, Cranston's Temperance Coffee House, High Street, Edinburgh. 1 August 1844. 3pp., 4to. Bifolium. In fair condition, on aged and worn paper, with a closed tear repaired with archival tape. Giving 'a brief statement of our present case', beginning: 'By subscriptions among the working men themselves, we have now collected somewhat more than a thousand pound.
