New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1905. New and Revised Edition. Hardcover. 4 volumes. (lii, 422, xvi, xvii, 410 [with fold-outs],ix, 459 [folding map] and 444 pages) Frontis illustrations. Illustrations. Chronology. Covers have some wear and soiling. Some pages uncut. Some page foxing. Top edge gilt. Some damp staining to top edge of Vol. II. Some boards weak, glued. Louis Antoine Fauvelet de Bourrienne (July 9, 1769 – February 7, 1834) was a French diplomat. Bourrienne is famous for his Memoirs of Napoleon Bonaparte, a work based on years of friendship and professional association. They met at the Military Academy at Brienne when eight years old. Following the affair of 13 Vendémiaire he moved back to Paris and again associated with Bonaparte, who soon left to command the Army of Italy. The spectacularly victorious general urgently summoned Bourrienne to Italy for the negotiations with Austria, where his knowledge of law and diplomacy was useful in drafting the terms of the Treaty of Campo Formio. Bourrienne anticipated Napoleon's fame and kept notes and documents. More

Springfield, MA: Loring-Axtell Company, 1926. First Edition. Hardcover. Slight soiling inside boards and flyleaves, some soiling to boards, rear board somewhat scratched. [6], xi,[1], 3-40, [2]8 pages. Illustrations. Large, 4 panel fold-out group photo between pages vi and vii. Foreword by Franklin H. Martin. Roster. Some minor soiling inside boards and flyleaves. Some wear and edge rubbing to cover and edges. Inscribed by the author. From an article in JAMA from 1908--After a struggle of four years on the part of the Surgeon General of the Army, backed by the medical profession, Congress at its last session was induced to give much needed relief to the Army Medical Corps, by an Act, approved last April, entitled "A bill to increase the efficiency of the Medical Department of the Army." Conditions in the Army prior to this were deplorable, so far as the organization of the Medical Department was concerned, as apparently no thought had been given to requirements for war. In fact, officers were far too few to perform the ordinary duties of peace times. To be capable of ready expansion in war time. the act authorized the Medical Reserve Corps, a peacetime pool of trained civilian physicians. This represented the first United States Army volunteer reserve and proved the forerunner for the entire Army Reserve system. The Medical Reserve Corps had grown to 1,757 officers, plus 146 on active duty, compared to 443 Regular Army medical officers at the time. By 30 June 1917, less than three months after the declaration of war, this had grown to 9,223 officers in the Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Officers' Reserve Corps. More

New York: American Iron & Steel Institute, 1962. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. Quarto, 112 pages. Illustrations. Maps. Figures. Tables. Appendices. References. Bibliography. Ink name on the front flyleaf. [D. Earl Jones, Jr.--possibly the recipient of the EWRI Urban Water Resources Research Council (UWRRC) Founders’ Award presented to pioneers in the fields of urban water management and stormwater research. No dust jacket present. A team of four American engineers made extensive notes on the type and nature of the structural damage after the earthquake in the Moroccan city of Agadir, and noted the steps necessary to prevent such a disaster in the future. Introduction by W. G. Kirkland. Among the topics are Seismological aspects of the Agadir earthquate, Structural effects of the Agadir earthquake, Earthquake Engineering, Summary and Conclusions, Lateral Force Requirements and the Geology of Agadir and its environs. This is a report prepared and edited by Prof. R. W. Clough. The first three chapters described the Agadir shock and the resulting damage. Chapter Four contains an explanation of the dynamic characteristics of earthquakes in general and the development of seismic design procedures in the United States in recent years. Chapter Five summarizes the principal findings with respect to the Agadir earthquake. The appendices to the report contain supplementary information of value in a study of the Agadir earthquake in particular and in consideration of seismic forces in the design of buildings at the present time.

Los Alamos, NM: Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory of the University of California, 1968. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Comb binder. vii, [1], 185, [1] pages. Figures. Tables. References. Inside the binder is a card, taped in, saying Compliments of the Authors. Comb binder holds the otherwise disbound pages together and in order. This document addresses Binary Systems and Ternary and Higher Systems. This report summarizes the information that was available to the authors prior to July 1967 pertaining to the phase relationships and crystal structures of the intermediate phases in 75 binary and 17 ternary, or higher, alloy systems of plutonium with other elements. The alloy systems are presented in alphabetical order according to the chemical symbols o the nonplutonium elements. The information given here is mainly in the form of constitutional diagrams and crystal structure tables. Only brief descriptions accompany the diagrams. In general, these descriptions are intended to document information sources, point out any significant differences that may exist between different versions of the diagrams, and clarify certain details of the phase relationships that are known but may not be readily apparent from the diagrams. Many of the diagrams are composites base on the results of more than one group of investigators. Information about the allotropic modifications of plutonium, which may be helpful to the reader in understanding and using the equilibrium diagrams in this report, is summarized in Table I. More

Livermore, CA: Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, 1978. Prepriint Presumed first printing thus. Wraps. [1], 4 pages. Illustrations. This paper was prepared for submission to the Thirteenth Pulse Power Symposium in Buffalo, NY, June 19-22, 1978. Stapled at upper left corner. Results were to be presented on the design and testing of a pressurized gas blown spark gap switch capable of high repetition rates in a burst mode of operation. The switch parameters which had been achieved were as follows: 220-KV, 42-kA, a five pulse burst at 1-kHz, 12-ns risetime, 2-ns jitter at a pulse width of 50-ns. The construction of the coaxial spark gap is illustrated in Figure 1. The spark gap bolts on to the lower end of a 5.2 coaxial water Blumlein and was designed to switch the mid conductor to ground. The Blumlein's mid conductor feeds through a polycarbonate resin insulator which interfaced between the water and the high pressure gas and become the switch's anode. More
