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.

Manuscrit original inédit : Prophéties des convulsionnaires sur la Révolution Française. Oeuvre divine.

- 1800, 17cmx22.8cm, (4) 84pp. 89p. non paginées, relié. - Manuscrit original réalisé vers 1800 et totalement inédit. Sans page de titre, le manucrit débute par la préface, paginé 1, puis la table des matières de la première partie. On distingue 3 écritures différentes. Cartonnage de papier dominoté brun d'époque. Manques en queue. Manque au coin droit bas. La thèse du manuscrit soutient que les convulsionnaires sont une oeuvre divine : "l'oeuvre de la croix", inscrite donc dans le plan de Dieu et de l'ordre du miracle ; les convulsionnaires se trouvant être les instruments de Dieu dans leurs prédictions. La bulle Ugenitus qui éradiqua le mouvement janséniste est racontée comme un complot réussi des jésuites, eux-mêmes décrits comment l'intrument du vice. Dans la première partie du manuscrit qui détaille les conséquences de la bulle Ugenitus et l'apparition des convulsionnaires, ces derniers sont amplement décrits par leur caractère extraordinaire et surnaturel dans des chapitres dénommés : impassibilité, invulnérabilité des convulsionnaires, miracles, discours et lumières surnaturelles, connaissances de l'avenir et des consciences... Les convulsionnaires prophétisent ainsi la Révolution française, la fin des rois et des nobles et le rappel des juifs. La seconde partie de l'ouvrage est consacrée à des citations prophétiques de convulsionnaires (Soeur Holda, soeur Lacroix), qui semblent, bien que dans le style biblique, incroyablement précises, l'auteur citant plusieurs fois des dates pendant lesquelles doit se passer "le commencement du grand bouleversement à la 33e année au delà de 1756, c'est-à-dire en 1789. Après avoir amplement prophétisé les événements de la Révolution Française, les convulsionnaires prévoient l'anéantissement de la république puis de la France, démembrée par des puissances étrangères (on songe à la période qui suit Napoléon), chaque série de citations étant encadrée de titres et de courtes explications. A la fin du manuscrit, il est écrit : Fin de la première partie de ce recueil, sans qu'on puisse savoir si autre chose fut écrit ensuite. Le dernier chapitre lie les prophéties contenues dans les prophètes de la Bible et ceux des convulsionnaires qui n'en sont que le renouvellement. Précieux et curieux essai sur les convulsionnaires, démontrant le caractère divin de leurs prophéties et inscrivant ainsi la révolution française et l'Empire comme des châtiments apocalyptiques.

Khao Co Hoc 'Archaeology'

1969 · 000122 — Hanoi: 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.

Collection of Letters Mainly to New Bedford Massachusetts Whalers I.H. Bartlett & Sons 1830s–1850s

1855 · List3333 — Massachusetts 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. I shall not be able to get off any oil untill tomorrow as the oil was not out of the boat untill this morning. it is not thirteen days since that one cask left New Bedford .â€. October 13 1852<br /> <br /> Most of Bartlett’s customers buy whale oil though beef molasses and coal are also discussed but some are interested in whalebone; as are Wright Bros & Co a Philadelphian umbrella manufacturer who write to complain about market speculation:<br /> <br /> “The fact appears to us that speculation and the calculation of holders put the price kept it so high that it considerably lessened consumption – so much so of late that some have been disposed to slide it off below New Bedford rates very quietly.†October 23 1852<br /> <br /> The letters to all parties are generally all business except for two of the five to John Blanchard: one from his wife Caroline Houston and one from fellow Searsport captain David Nickels Jr. 1823–1888 who writes from Bangor:<br /> <br /> “I see by to day’s Mercantile gazette that you are in trouble I can sympathize with you God knows I have had a good share of it since I left the land of Gospel light and liberty as the good people say in their prayers I have been in this place fifteen days you doubtless knew I was chartered by Capt Pendleton to go from Leith to Bangor for a cargo of slates and from here to Boston I sailed from Leith on the 27th of November last for this place I got as far as the Orkney Islands on the 30th of November the wind blowing heavy from the westward and having a pilot belonging to the Orkneys on board I concluded to take the harbour of Longhope and lay till a shift of wind or till it moderated . in spite of all our endeavouring we were driven on shore broke the keel out of her filled as high as the lower deck which was on the 3d of December and on the 22d of March we left the Orkney Islands after having been near four months there When I got here I found the man who was to freight the Barque from here to Boston had neglected to place funds in the hands of the slate agent of this place consequently he refuses to put slates on board of the vessel till he receives funds from Boston .â€.

The Trial of William Lord Byron With The Trial of Lawrence Earl Ferrers for the Murder of John Johnson With The Whole Proceedings at Large in a Cause on an Action Brought by The Rt Hon. Richard Lord Grosvenor against His Royal Highness Henry Frederick Duke of Cumberland for Criminal Conversation with Lady Grosvenor. With The Trial of Elizabeth Duchess Dowager of Kingston for Bigamy

1765 · 662L12 — London: Various Publishers 1765-1776. First edition. Leather. Very Good Indeed. 14.5" by 9.5". None. A sammelband of prominent eighteenth century legal cases which deal with cases of bigamy adultery and murder. These four uncommon publications form the account of proceedings during trial. The first edition of all pamphlets bound together in a lovely quarter calf binding with marbled boards. These trials were all important in society at the time with several remaining of historical importance. Comprising of: The Trial of William Lord Byron Printed for Samuel Billingsley 1765 The Trial of Lawrence Earl Ferrers for the Murder of John Johnson 1760 The Whole Proceedings at Large in a Cause on an Action Brought by The Rt Hon. Richard Lord Grosvenor against His Royal Highness Henry Frederick Duke of Cumberland for Criminal Conversation with Lady Grosvenor Printed for J Wheble 1770 The Trial of Elizabeth Duchess Dowager of Kingston for Bigamy Printed for Charles Bathurst 1776 Collated 'The Trial of Lawrence Earl Ferrers for the Murder of John Johnson' has been bound without the title page. The first trial regards William Byron the fifth Baron Byron and great uncle of famed poet George Gordon Byron. This account is of his trial for murder held on Tuesday the 16th and Wednesday the 17th April 1765. He was accused of murdering his cousin and neighbour William Chatworth in a duel that began from an argument over who had the most game on their estates. During this trial he was found guilty of manslaughter as stated to the title page. The second trial regards Larence Shirley the 4th Earl Ferrers who was accused of the murder of John Johnson his steward. As a result of this trial Laurence Shirley is noted as being the last peer to be hanged in England. Shirley drunkenly shot his steward Johnson following some business conversation and verbal abuse from Shirley. The sentence to be hanged became widely publicised and the tale of a nobleman being hanged and therefore the equality of the law continued to be told for centuries. Therefore this trial is of historical note. The third trial follows Lord Grosvenor suing Prince Henry Duke of Cumberland in 1769. He was suing the younger brother of George III for his affair with his wife Lady Grosvenor. The Duke and Lady Grosvenor were caught in the act of their affair and therefore Lord Grosvenor took the Duke to court. It contains evidence verbatim from the witnesses and includes all arguments and speeches from the counsel and court. The fourth and final trial printed to this collection is Elizabeth Duchess Dowager of Kingston's trial for bigamy. Elizabeth Pierrepont was noted by her contemporaries for her adventurous life style. Her trial was a popular event and attracted 4000 spectators. Elizabeth Chudleigh secretly married Augustus Hervey in 1744. Their marriage was kept a secret so that Chudleigh could continue her position at court and so that Hervey could rejoin his ship. Chudleigh was mistress to both Frederick the Great and of Evelyn Pierrepont 2nd Duke of Kingston Upon Hull. Hervey wished to divorce Chudleigh however she did not wish to acknowledge their marriage which lead to a trial in court. Chudleigh swore she was unmarried in court which then pronounced her a spinster and free to marry. She married Pierrepont in 1769 despite the fact her marriage to Hervey was legitimate. The trial to this pamphlet is a later 1776 trial whereby Pierrepont's nephew Evelyn Meadows brought a charge of bigamy against Elizabeth in order to establish a legal rationale for challenging his uncle's will. Elizabeth was found guilty of Bigamy and was tried as a peer in Westminster Hall. A fascinating collection of legal pamphlets bound together which provide an insight into popular trials during eighteenth century society as well as a wider understanding of the legal system at this time. In a quarter calf binding with marbled boards. Externally in an excellent condition with little to no shelfwear. Internally firmly bound. Pages are bright.
