19562330Place of Publication Not Identified: Publisher Not Identified 1956. Octavo 8 5/8 x 4 7/8 inches; 213 x 97 mm 14 pages in stapled wrappers. <br /><br />Lurid antisemitic pamphlet that begins "Are the Methodists teaching Judaism instead of Christianity" The pamphlet goes on to give excerpts from Jewish and Methodist publications in an attempt to show the Methodists are teaching from the Talmud which supposedly promotes communism. These excerpts are interspersed with sarcastic commentary such as referring to the Anti-Defamation League as the "secret police" of the American Jewish Committee. <br /><br />The author also attacks the NAACP saying it's not led by a "Negro" but by "a revolutionary New York Jew." Moreover we're told that "documented information" links Zionism with "the World Communist conspiracy." The author also has a thing against universal brotherhood: "The creed of those who sponsor this program is to eliminate all personal freedom and the sovereignty of nations including America in favor of a Jewish world social order." <br /><br />We estimate the publication date of the pamphlet to be 1956 or thereabouts since that's the latest year shown in the various excerpts published here. We have not been able to identify an author or group issuing this pamphlet. Perhaps an interesting research project for scholars of antisemitism or anticommunism. <br /><br />OCLC shows only five institutional holdings of this pamphlet: Michigan State Samford New York Public Library Abilene Christian and the Wisconsin Historical Society.

192316688Chicago: Covici-McGee Co. Very Good in Very Good dj. 1923. 2nd printing. Hardcover. NOISBN . spine slightly turned a bit of dust-soiling to top edge a couple of lightly bumped corners one-time owner's address label on front pastedown; jacket moderately edgeworn spine browned small chip at top of rear panel; jacket a teensy bit shorter than the book apparently made that way. "A novel of protest written by a young apostle of revolt against the present system of education in the colleges." Although the author is not identified by gender the book seems to have a definite feminist slant telling of the travails of a young graduate student teaching Freshman English while dealing with "the undercurrent of malice and politics" at the university. She finds that "the departments are run by old men who have lost touch with the students" and feels herself "powerless to defeat the red-tape and apathetic disregard of the older men." Neither the city nor the specific university in the book are identified but add the Chicago imprint to the description of the school "on the shore of the great lake in the broad Middle-West" do the math and get back to me about where YOU think it is. The author of the 1962 study "The College Novel in America" speculated that the book was "possibly by Zoë Flannagan" but gives no indication who the hell "Zoë Flannagan" might have been.

1877001361N/A 1877. Softcover. Program single sheet printed recto and verso; 5 x 8; mint-green paper printed in various elaborate fonts; small nick to top edge; a few faint crease lines; minor age-toning; very good. The program commemorated a benefit concert for the Oakland Light Cavalry Company - a volunteer organization of initially 101 men which was established earlier that same year in 1877. In the years between 1867 and 1877 Oakland had been steadily growing - boasting new residences sewage system and improvements to the harbor. On the other hand the progress had merchants and citizens worried about overpopulation waterfront problems and civil unrest. It did not help the matter that groups of hoodlums from Oakland and San Francisco would roam around and look for any chance to "help" start riots and disobedience. To keep the agitators at bay was the reason the Cavalry Company was formed. The men furnished their own horses carried themselves as soldiers and saved the county thousands of dollars in salaries to the active duty men employed to deal with the unrest. The Dietz Opera House c. 1874â1911 was Oakland's very first theatre located on the northeast corner of Webster Street and 12th Street. The opera house was on the second floor while the first floor housed a saloon. It is known that at some point of the theater's history Jack London delivered a lecture on Socialism there and around 1911 the Socialist Party had its headquarters in the building around 1911 Alfred Dietz had sold the theater in 1903. On May 1 1911 the Dietz Opera House burned to the ground amidst speculations that the fire was deliberately set to "dislodge" the Socialists. N/A paperback books

Gnomonics The art or science of dialing or of constructing dials to show the hour of the day by the shadow of a gnomon. was of great interest in France during this period. After the theory of dialing was published in the Royal Academy of Sciences in 1707 many treatises on the subject appeared in the 18th century. see Recreations in Mathematics and Natural Philosophy . by Ozanam for a useful discussion. <br/><br/>A pencilled note "par Delezenne" suggests a likely attribution to Charles Delezenne 1776-1866 of Lille a scientist and mathematician who wrote various scientific treatises later in his life. Delezenne returned to Lille in 1805 replacing Testelin as the Chair of Mathematics. Houzeau & Lancaster 11704 corraborates this attribution. While rare only few copies listed in OCLC/Worldcat and one for sale as of this writing this treatise is fairly late for a work on the mathematics of the subject.
