194043221Fairfield: S.W.O.C. District No. 3 1940. First Edition. Mimeographed side-stapled sheets 11" x 8-1/2"; 6pp; printed recto-only. Text toned with chips to extremities; but of rust to staples; Good and sound. Ink signature of a "Dolph Mosley / Fairfield" to front cover. Report to the second annual convention of the S.W.O.C. documenting the union's successes in the southern states during its first year of existence and as well as union-busting activities which as might be imagined were rampant throughout the south during this period especially against a C.I.O.-affiliated union with a reputation for radicalism and a racial integration. A locus of anti-labor sentiment appears to have been the industrial community of Gadsden Alabama where the authors document numerous instances of direct threats against steelworkers including some that were racially motivated. Rare; as in our experience is most southern steelworkers material from this period. S.W.O.C. District No. 3 unknown books

A valuable set. Illus. Sm. 4to.25 cm. Noel Alexandre or Alexander Natalis 1639-1724 was a French historian and theologian of the Order of St. Dominic who studied philosophy and theology in the convent of Saint Jacques Paris where he taught for twelve years obtained the licentiate from the Sorbonne and in 1675 the doctorate and was urged to write a complete history of the church the first volume appearing in 1677. "His directness and conciseness his critical acumen and his manner of viewing history and dividing it into special studies then quite original although now common enough won for him the approbation of the learned. The first volumes of the history brought him letters of commendation and praise from Pope Innocent XI and many cardinals but later volumes gave offense at Rome because of the author's Gallicism and Innocent XI finally forbade the faithful to read .it" Cath.Ency. Alexandre corrected the work in the third edition. Constantino Roncaglia brought out a sixth edition unaltered but with the addition of paragraphs and dissertations correcting the most offensive statements. The work was thus removed from the Index by Pope Benedict XIII. The edition offered here is the best and most complete edited by Giovan Domenico Mansi who added many explanatory notes. An anonymous writer in two supplementary volumes also included here carried the history into the eighteenth century and added various dissertations from other historians. The work thus completed appeared at Venice in 1778 in eleven folio volumes and at Bingen 1785-91 in twenty volumes. Brunet I 169. G. C. Voigt hardcover books
