1938566j1985London: Frederick Muller Ltd. Good with no dust jacket. 1938. First English Edition. Hardcover. "There is no question of the depth or of the luminous quality of the reasoning with which the author combats the deification of the State and demolishes the Hegelian conception of the State as 'an end in itself'. I welcome this book as a contribution of outstanding value to the clarification of thought at a moment of supreme crisis in the political history of the world. Its author believes that against the 'totalitarian State' the ideal and the faith of "totalitarian man' will arise and prevail and that 'the blackest cloud which has overshadowed the history of humanity is beginning to pass away." - Introduction. "The object of this book is to introduce clarity into the confusion of demagogy and lying which to-day so obscures the grave problems of our time that even politicians can only with difficulty recognise the forces and ideas which underlie the events and changes of our day. Further it attempts to indicate to all men of good will a way into a better and clearer future out of the labyrinth of unsolved problems which vex our age." - Preface. "Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi 1894-1972 was a politician and philosopher. A pioneer of European integration he served as the founding president of the Paneuropean Union for 49 years. His Pan-Europeanism earned vivid loathing from Adolf Hitler who excoriated its pacifism and mechanical economism and belittled its founder as 'a bastard.' Nazi criticism and propaganda against Coudenhove-Kalergi and his European worldview would decades later form the basis of the Kalergi Plan conspiracy theory which claims he conceived of a plot to mix and replace white Europeans with other races via immigration." - Wikipedia. 4-196 pp. Translated from the German.

R.R. yellow C & O Ry. red and Rhinehart & Dennis green. A RARE map not found at OCLC or in online searches depicting the area of the Hawks Nest Tunnel disaster which has been called one of the worst environmental disasters in U.S. history. "The Hawks Nest Tunnel was part of a hydroelectric project undertaken by Union Carbide near Gauley Bridge WV. Beginning in 1927 nearly 3000 men three-fourths of whom were Black endured prolonged exposure to silica dust-without respiratory protection-while mining sand-stone. Many of these workers developed silicosis and eventually died from the disease. Although the exact number of deaths caused by the disaster is unknown some sources say more than 1000 workers died. The 16240-ft-long tunnel served to divert water from the New River through Gauley Mountain a drop of 162 ft. Its sole purpose was to provide electricity only to the Electro Metallurgical Co. another Union Carbide subsidiary. Since the drill- ing of the tunnel was defined as a construction project and not technically mining the workers were deprived of any protective provisions for underground mining." VANTAGE POINT The Historic & Cultural Importance of the HAWKS NEST TUNNEL DISASTER By Howard W. Spencer February 2023. In addition to the railroad lines the map shows the sites of Electro-Metalugical Co. loading and unloading tracks for Rhinehart & Dennis contractor for the Tunnel and the Dam Site for the New Kanawha Power Co. It wasn't until a NEWSWEEK article published Jan. 25 1936 that the American public learned of what had transpired years before. After an investigation in Congress the summary statement of the investigating committee concluded - "That the whole driving of the tunnel was begun continued and completed with grave and inhumane disregard of all consideration for the health lives and future of the employees. That as a result many workmen became infected with silicosis; that many have died of the disease and many not yet dead are doomed to die from the ravages of the disease as a result of their employment and the negligence of the employing contractor."

1924163a4961London: Boswell Printing & Publishing Co. Ltd. Fair. 1924. First Edition. Hardcover. 419 pages. Index. Footnotes. Frontis portrait of Adam Weishaupt. "I have felt impelled to devote one more book to the Revolution as a whole by going this time further back into the past and attempting to trace its origins from the first century of the Christian era. For it is only by taking a general survey of the movement that it is possible to understand the causes of any particular phase of its existence. The French Revolution did not arise merely out of conditions or ideas peculiar to the eighteenth century nor the Bolshevist Revolution out of political and social conditions in Russia on the teaching of Karl Marx. Both these explosions were produced by forces which making use of popular suffering and discontent had long been gathering strength for an onslaught not only on Christianity but on all social and moral order." - Preface.

Some scattered brownspots. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this famous memoir in which Ampère presented his collected results on electrodynamics to the French Academy creating the foundation of 19th century developments in electricity and magnetism. In the words of James Clark Maxwell "We can scarcely believe that Ampère really discovered the law of action by means of the experiments which he describes. We are led to suspect what indeed he tells us himself that he discovered the law by some process which he has not shown us and that when he had afterwards built up a pefect demonstration he removed all traces of the scaffolding by which he raised it."The offered memoir was published BEFORE the famous "Theorie mathématique des phénomènes électro-dynamiques uniquement déduite de L'expérience" which did not appear until 1827. That 1827-Memoire incorporates together with a new presentation of Ampère's results from 1820 1822 1823 the offered memoir 1825. Horblit: 100 - Dibner: 62."From 1814 until 1820 Ampére did not perform the kind of research that would have made it into the annals of the histrory of science but on September 11 1820 when he heard Francois Arago speak about Oersted's work he got fresh inspiration and started the work that made him famous. Arago related how Oersted had found that a steady electric current influences the orientation of a compass needle. After a weak Ampère had determined experimentally that that two straight parallel and current-carrying wires execute a force on each other. The magnitude of the force is inversely proportional to the distance between the wires and proportional to the strenghts of the current. During the following years he continued his researches both experimentally and theoretically. he built an instrument for measuring electricity that later was developed into the galvanometer. Finally in 1825 he presented his collected results to the Academy IN ONE OF THE MOST CELEBRATED MEMOIRS IN THE HISTORY OF NATURAL PHILOSOPHY The paper offered."

He became a Fellow of the Geological Society in 1864. He was a member of the RHS Scientific Committee during the 1880s and served brief terms on the Floral Committee Daffodil Committee and Library Committee. Maw made frequent plant collecting trips including to the Mediterranean and Eastern Europe. In 1871 he accompanied Sir Joseph Dalton Hooker and John Ball on a plant collecting expedition to Morocco and the Atlas Mountains and letters from Hooker to Maw give details of their preparations. A full account of the trip was published in 'Journal of a Tour in Marocco and the Atlas Mountains'. Maw wrote occasional articles for the garden press and was an accomplished artist: John Ruskin wrote of his crocus drawings that they were 'most exquisite . and quite beyond criticism'. In 1886 Maw published 'A Monograph of the Genus Crocus' the result of over ten years of collecting and research illustrated using his own watercolours. Many of the bulbs and plants he collected on his plant collecting expeditions were planted in the garden at Benthall Hall later owned by the National Trust. Correspondence between Maw and the friends and contacts who helped to collect the 67 species of Crocus detailed in his work forms a significant part of the archive. Maw retired in 1886 due to ill health and moved to live at Rangemore in Kenley Surrey changing the house name to Benthall. Frederica Mary died on 6 Feb 1894. George Maw died on the 7 Feb 1912." - British Museum. ""George Maw 1839-1912 was the industrious author and illustrator of his great 'Monograph of the Genus Crocus' 1886. A many-sided and remarkable man Maw was not a botanist by profession but a chemist and geologist a manufacturer of encaustic tiles at Broseley Staffs. His monograph the result of ten years of inquiry was the most complete work of its kind that has been published on any genus. The plates of this work are marvels of comprehensive detail and put to shame those of many more skilled draughtsmen. From a botanical point of view this work is a landmark."Blunt & Stearn".

The "Vita of Aesop" the legendary slave born around 620 B.C. is preserved in manuscript versions from the tenth to the sixteenth centuries. Prof. Perry discovered that the earliest complete extant manuscript a 10th century Greek codex correlates with a papyrus fragment of the second century A.D. and was probably compiled using anecdotes dating back to the fifth century B.C. possibly by a Greek speaking Egyptian. This early dating gives the work an immense significance in the history of literature as the author not only compiled fictional anecdotes which include a number of fables but has brought to the Vita a distinct literary style. A translation of the unique ancient "Life of Aesop" is published for the first time in this volume. Text includes everything ascribed to Aesop or said about him in Greek literature down to the fall of Constantinople and in Latin literature through Romulus together with all the different fables whether ascribed to Aesop or not which were regarded by the ancients as "Aesopic".
