Notes:: SCDIRB copy 39088002464113 is autographed by the author; SCDIRB copy received with a letter detailing the provenance of the volume. See the record for MSS 001922 A SCDIRB, Letter to Dr. H.P. Talbot, Mass. Inst. of Tech., Boston, Mass., accompanying "a copy of the 1830 edition of Faraday's 'Chemical manipulations' [that is, manipulation], containing marginal notes by the author" that the recently deceased president of Lehigh University, Dr. Thomas M. Drown, wanted to give to Dr. Talbot. The letter gives further details about the provenance of the Faraday volume (now in the collection of the Dibner Library of the History of Science and Technology in Washington, D.C.), that it was presented by Faraday to Dr. Hare of Philadelphia, whose widow later gave it to her grandson, Frederick Prime, Jr., in 1863, and Prime subsequently presented it to Drown in 1880
