Description
Scientific manuscript entitled Mensuration of Superficies, 1826 Booklet of 30 pages. Inside front cover inscribed John K. Eshleman's Manuscript, January the 3rd, A.D. 1826. The manuscript is full of intricate calligraphy and drawings illustrating the mathematical equations explained and solved. The thick paper cover has come loose in one place. John Kendrick Eshleman (1810-1897), a medical doctor, was born in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. A graduate of Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia, he practised medicine until 1848, when he retired and devoted himself to horticulture and arboriculture. He planted most of the trees that now adorn the Glen Isle lawn and was president of the Pomological Society. A fervent abolitionist, he helped to make Glen Isle a stop on the Underground Railroad.
