From the publisher: "One of the major players in Switzerland's silk trade has been Abraham AG Abraham Ltd. The company's history dates back to 1878 when Jakob Abraham became a partner in a Zurich-based business. Under the direction of Gustav Zumsteg who had joined as a partner in 1943 the business became a firm part of post-war Paris Haute Couture as supplier of silk fabrics to the leading fashion houses. The 1960s-80s were the heyday of Abraham AG with the close and personal collaboration between Zumsteg and Yves Saint Laurent from 1961 onwards. This equally successful and glamorous period was followed by a slow but steady decline eventually leading to the company's bankruptcy and liquidation in 2002. 'Soie Pirate: The History and Fabric Designs of Abraham Ltd.' .Is a comprehensive history of this fascinating enterprise. Volume one tells the company's story and investigates its importance in the international business of high fashion and in the context of time. Volume two presents a wealth of designs patterns and samples of the beautiful fabrics designed by Abraham AG but also of the elegant dresses and spectacular gowns the great couturiers like Cristobal Balenciaga Coco Chanel Christian Dior Hubert de Givenchy Yves Saint Laurent or Emanuel Ungaro have created using Abraham's products. Together both volumes bring to life a chapter in the history of high fashion worldwide" - with a bonus offer-- . Verlag Scheidegger & Spiess AG / University of Chicago Press (Distributor) hardcover

Contains Benjamin Franklin's "An Account of the Effects of Electricity in paralytic cases." <br> Benjamin Franklin was involved not only with the nature of electricity but with its possible medical utility. People of the 18th century hoped 'electrical fire' would provide a cure for paralysis. They believed that sending a charge through the affected limbs might increase blood flow regenerate muscle and restore movement or physical control. Franklin was doubtful about the usefulness of electrical treatment for palsy and paralysis and never promoted himself as an electrical therapist. Nonetheless because of his reputation as an electrical innovator he was from time to time contacted by people seeking electrical therapy. Using an electrostatic generator in which electrical charge was created by rubbing material against a mounted glass ball or cylinder turned by a crank and a Leyden jar which stored the electrical energy Franklin obliged those patients who came to him desiring electrical therapies though Franklin's patients found no permanent cure for their paralysis.

SAMMELBAND OF 30 ANTI-JESUIT TRACTS ATTESTING TO THE "INTRACTABLE" RELATIONS BETWEEN THE FRENCH STATE AND THE JESUITS DOCUMENTING THE OFFICIAL SUPRESSION PROCESS. <br /> <br /> The earliest documents beginning in 1761 and running into 1762 demonstrate the French government's early steps toward suppression. Many of these edicts demand copies of the order's Constitutions for inspection. Of course it's clear the authorities had already made up their minds evidenced too by their numerous judgments against Jesuit books which appear to have provided abundant bonfire fuel in palace courtyards across the country. We find plenty of references to the Jesuits being kicked out of their homes the confiscation of their property and much on the closure of their schools and plans for their continued operation under state-sponsored control. The penultimate document in our volume is the French king's final blow to the Jesuit order followed by a final edict outlining conditions of Jesuit resettlement in France. If you're expecting sanitized administrative legalese from these documents the amount of invective animosity and hatred may surprise you. Endless referrals to the "so-called Jesuits" underscore a perception that the order must hardly be aligned with the teachings of Jesus. Grievance-laden dressing-downs are ubiquitous. The devastation to Jesuit lives seen here was enormous. Our brief commentaries below merely scratch the surface of what these contain. <br /> <br /> ¶ The suppression of the Jesuits was a global phenomenon that began with their expulsion from Portuguese territories in 1759. From there it spread not simply through the European continent but through its countries' vast overseas empires. The final blow landed with a papal decree of 21 July 1773 though the Jesuits found some sympathetic European pockets where they managed to continue their mission. The order's official restoration was enabled by a papal decree in 1814 from which the Jesuits eventually regained their European footing. <br /> <br /> ¶ The depths of blame for Jesuit suppression has been endlessly plumbed by scholars. The Enlightenment is an oft cited factor as was fear of outsize political influence from Rome and royal desires to seize control of Jesuit revenue sources. "Whichever way one analyses the surviving evidence any attempt to provide a single all-embracing explanation of the destruction and ultimate suppression of the Society is fruitless: there was a whole host of reasons which curiously coalesced into a wider international phenomenon" Whitehead. <br /> <br /> ¶ In France groundwork for Jesuit antipathy had been laid by a deep long-standing theological tension between them and the Jansenists. But everything came to a head with the well intentioned but ill advised trade dealings of one Father Lavalette in Martinique. In trying to improve the condition of his overseas community he found himself hopelessly indebted to French creditors. The Jesuits tried to cover the debts themselves but eventually found themselves in French courts. A Jesuit appeal to the French parlement stacked with individuals not favorably disposed to them was a fatal mistake. "The protracted court proceedings lasted from April to August 1761 and were to prove immensely damaging for the Jesuits as the Society's Institute was examined and ultimately denounced. During the winter of 1761 and the spring of 1762 the parlement of Paris and the fifteen provincial parlements of France deliberated independently on how to deal with the future of the Jesuits within their respective jurisdictions." This decentralized approach to their suppression is vital context for the broad geographic coverage of the volume here. "Enormous power struggles took place in various parlements but the detailed debates of their members were rendered largely irrelevant when on 1 April 1762 the parlement of Paris having found against the Society of Jesus forced the Jesuits to leave the thirty-eight colleges within its jurisdiction" Whitehead. Some provincial parlements continued to shelter the Jesuits-Artois for example from which we have a 1762 decree here-but Louis XV's edict of November 1764 ordered the Society's complete dissolution. <br /> <br /> ¶ The unusually broad geographic coverage of the volume is impressive. While eleven tracts were printed in Paris nineteen ! come from ten different provincial cities the latter often broadcasting the same language the same grievances and the same judgments as those issued from Paris. Even the spine title hints at the variety of origins: Arrets de divers parts Jesuites. The collection is a telling witness to how demotic anger towards the Jesuits developed into an official campaign of suppression in France.<br /> <br /> CONTENTS OF THE COLLECTION:<br /> <br /> 1.

1969000122Hanoi: Vietnam Institute of Archaeology 1969. The official journal of archaeological research for the Democratic Republic of Vietnam a complete 30 year run from the inception of this mostly quarterly journal in June 1969 through to end 1998. The set includes 1272 articles in Vietnamese 664 of which are followed by brief abstracts in English and 38 additionally in French. Over 500 of the articles are illustrated in b&w and occasionally in later issues in colour and an additional 200 articles contain graphical information in the form of maps charts graphs and/or Sino-Vietnamese characters. This journal thus contains the complete published record of official archaeological activities in one of the last frontiers of archaeology in Asia. Until 1975 the journal of necessity covered only activities in the northern half of the country but shortly following unification activities are recorded throughout the territory of Vietnam as known today. Ancient Vietnam was home to some of the world's earliest agrarian settlements; excavated material remains indicate the presence of organized human habitation dating back more than 4000 years. Khao Co Hoc documents the archaeological exploration of these early cultures. Topics range from the description of paleolithic sites through neolithic early metal age proto-historic and historic era finds. Great attention has been focused on early cultures including the Hoabinhian Phung Nguyen Dong Dau Go Mun Dong Son Sa Hyunh and Oc'Eo as well as the period of the Hung Kings the formation of the state of Lac Viet the later reigns of the indigenous historic rulers and the development of Buddhism and Buddhist arts in Vietnam. The evolution of early technologies such as jade carving bronze casting pottery and later glazed ceramics is another area of focus for articles in the journal. This set is an essential tool for anyone researching this area whether archaeologist art historian or serious amateur scholar. Virtually unobtainable in western or Asian libraries or research institutes outside of Vietnam. 105 journal issues 9518 pp. bound into 11 volumes each gold stamped blue cloth text in Vietnamese many with Western language abstracts. Some number of earlier issues appear to be photo-reproduced possibly the manner in which they were originally distributed. Earlier issues printed on inferior paper quite rough and brown although remaining supple and robust and completely legible. Occasional marks and soiling on some pages.

1855List3333Massachusetts New York Maine Pennsylvania and others 1855. Fifty letters with four empty envelopes or covers. Forty-four letters addressed to I.H. Bartlett & Sons: two from the 1830s eight from the 1840s and thirty-four from the 1850s. With five letters addressed to Capt. John C. Blanchard 1838 1839 1844 and 1849 and one to Cumston & Hatch N.d. Overall excellent to Near Fine. Ivory Hovey Bartlett 1794–1871 was a merchant and whale oil seller based in New Bedford Massachusetts. Bartlett moved to New Bedford from Plymouth in 1819 first dealing in grain and later transitioning to general merchandise and whaling.1 Whale oil and spermaceti were widely used in lamps and as lubricant and whalebone baleen was used for structure in items like umbrellas and corsets. In the nineteenth century whaling was the basis of New Bedford’s economy—supporting shipbuilding refineries toolworks and more—making it the wealthiest city in North America at the peak of the industry in the midcentury. Whaling declined in the 1860s with the rise of petroleum which could be both used as a lubricant and distilled into kerosene for lighting.<br /> <br /> Offered here is a collection of letters mainly to Bartlett’s company I.H. Bartlett & Sons with five to Captain John C. Blanchard of Searsport Maine and one to Cumston & Hatch. The latter is unknown; Blanchard was in the cotton and sugar trades sailing between the US Europe and West Indies.<br /> <br /> Letters to Bartlett are mainly from other mercantile firms; they pay bills make purchases discuss oil prices and occasionally complain. For instance Robert Robinson of Portland Maine writes:<br /> <br /> “I have just got 4 Casks of my oil 3 of the last and 1 of the invoice of 30th ult. I cannot understand why my oil should be keep back in this way. Hyde had seven casks by yesterdays Boat the same boat which mine came by it seem’s as if the fates where against this Oil as yesterday boat did not arrive untill late yesterday afternoon and this mornings boat has arrived without the balance there must be something wrong somewhere . I must say I think such neglect should be made known but perhaps it would be better to suffer for fear of the future.
