Little essays of love and virtue
Rare Books
In these essays, the author tries to set forth, as clearly as possible, certain fundamental principles, together with their practical application to the life of his time. Some of these principles were stated, more briefly and technically, in Ellis's larger Studies of sex; others were therein implied but only to be read between the lines. Here they are expressed in simple language and with some detail.

Collection of 54 offprints, pamphlets and other documents
Rare Books
Ludwig Prandtl was a pioneer in the development of rigorous systematic mathematical analyses applied to the science of aerodynamics, which have come to form the basis of the applied science of aeronautical engineering. In the 1920s he developed the mathematical basis for the fundamental principles of subsonic aerodynamics in particular; and in general up to and including transonic velocities. His studies identified the boundary layer, thin-airfoils, and lifting-line theories. The Prandtl number, measuring ratio of momentum diffusivity (kinematic viscosity) to thermal diffusivity, was named after him.

Franklin Hichborn letter to Andrae Nordskog
Manuscripts
In a previous letter, Andrae Nordskog asks Franklin Hichborn to follow and garner support for a measure to amend the California constitution following a failed ballot proposition to enable cities the right to grant franchises for privately owned public utilities and to collect taxes without having to fix the rates. In this response, Hichborn denies the request citing that he has been retired for many years and is now out of touch with the present order at the state capitol, nor does he have any time to study the measure. He closes the letter trusting that Nordkog was able to locate a copy if Hichborn's book, The system.
