8vo (104), oblong 8vo (2), oblong 12mo (1), 136 x 33 mm (1). A total of 239 pp. on 50 bifolia and 59 single leaves. One letter with autograph address on verso. Remarkable political correspondence from the exile to Maurice Lachâtre. Pyat, sentenced to death by the 3rd War Council on 28 March 1873, took refuge in London. Lachâtre, to be deported to a fortified compound, fled to Spain in December 1873. Following the amnesty (11 July 1880), the two outlaws, returned in France, co-directed "La Commune", a socialist newspaper (45 issues, 21 Sept.-4 Nov. 1880). - 1872: Pyat recounts his flight from Paris to London and deplores France's state of despondency. - He advises against a return from Spain and attests to horrors committed during the fall of the Commune. Pyat notes the desired conditions for publishing a history of the Commune, combining a newspaper, collaborating with the printer Juste Vernouillet, pros and cons of publishing in Paris or Brussels. Under the pseudonym "Solange" he considers the lifting of the state of siege, weighs the interest of a rapid or deferred publication of the history and the newspaper, and underlines risks to the country. He speaks of help for the outlaws, urges Lachâtre to keep away from the rigors of Thiers, shows interest in other Lachâtre authors (including Karl Marx and Eugène Sue), and makes political predictions: the monarchists, he says, would rally around Thiers, and political opinion would become more radical. - 1873: Pyat promises to provide souvenirs for Lachâtre's biography of Sue, is alarmed at Lachâtre's idea of returning home to Thiers' "orgy of blood", and reacts with ironic pride to his condemnation by the Council of War. He worries about Lachâtre due to the conditions in Spain. Pyat mentions how Thiers' fall corresponds to the laws of political science and invokes quarrels among the international (Vésinier, Landeck, Vaillant, Arnault, etc.). - 1874: Pyat sets out his observations on Castelar's fall and the Spanish Bourbon restoration, as well as on Lachâtre's setbacks in Belgium. - 1875: Pyat communicates a letter by Garibaldi (two ms. copies attached) for the press "for French propaganda". He considers a newspaper proposal. The justice of Paris turns out to be the triumph of the murderers. He debates the project of an exile newspaper, mentioning "La Voix du procrit" of Ledru and "Le Nouveau Monde" of Louis Blanc. - 1876: the amnesty was spoiled. He fights Lachâtre's hesitations to invest in a French newspaper, recalls the success of "Le Combat", and comments on the clumsiness of human rights. - 1877: his friend Gambon has told him about Lachâtre's plan of moving to Naples. Pyat would only agree to direct Duportal's "La Marseillaise" under a different title and with an adopted focus, criticizing the paper's unclear policies. - 1878: Pyat discusses their newspaper "La Commune", finances, seizure of the first issues, a guarantee for the citizen Castelnau, a friend and collaborator of Delescluze, summonses by the correctional police for non-payment of a fine, complaints about Dr Lux and the administrator Avenant. Several times he refers to Lachâtre's safe conduct to Paris. - 1879: New reflections on the amnesty. Versailles had no right to punish, no right to pardon; the outlaw's duty is to return only if he can win his cause and make the others return. Pyat urged Lachâtre to return to launch the newspaper; he was not mistaken: no amnesty. Pyat considers "Le Travail", in regard to declaration, title, administration, drafting (Rogeard, Gambon, Cluseret, Reclus, Protot, etc.). He hopes that General de Wimpffen will pardon Lachâtre. He gives advice in case of Lachâtre's reprieve and return, and receives emotionally the portrait of a martyr who redeems mankind. He warns of an agreement with Blanqui, whose "La Patrie" in danger proves that he is not the best journalist, and advises for caution until after the vote of the Senate. - Includes 2 ms. (copy): Pyat's Speech (Faubourg St.-Antoine, 14 Nov. 1869), declaration of the 1869 amnesty, which is sworn to the people, not to the Emperor; "Felix Pyat and the Tuileries" (London, 25 Jan. 1877), addressed to the editor of the "Standard", on Pyat's role in the Commune. Also includes: ALS by André Mellado (from the newspaper "La Igualdad", 27 May 1873), Spanish Republican tribute; ALS by General de Wimpffen (19 Oct. 1877), with comments on the French press.

(Oblong) 8vo. Altogether 73¾ pp. on 22 bifolia and 1 single sheet. 11 letters in pencil; 2 on mourning paper. 6 with engraved or printed letterhead. With one autograph envelope. Amicable correspondence with her good friend Jessie Lennox (1830-1933), one of the original "Nightingale Nurses" who trained at the Florence Nightingale School at St. Thomas's Hospital in London in the 1860s. Written in the fondest terms and taking great interest in her work, Florence Nightingale rejoices at the progress already made in the nursing profession, asks for advice and discusses at length, over several letters, the ideal role of the matron she wishes to appoint to take over the care of some 500 poor boys in an "industrial boys home". The matron, she writes, should embody the practicalities of a trained nurse with a mother's care for her charges, with an emphasis on good diet, warm clothing and good shoes. She cites the story of Ella Pirrie, the Lady Superintendent of the Union Infirmary at Belfast, who persuaded a child struck dumb to speak by adopting this gentle approach when harsher means had failed. She asks Lennox's advice in drawing up a set of requirements to put forward as clearly as possible to the "man committee": "This [...] is a difficulty because the man-Committee does not seem to think a woman has any business in the Barrack huts at all [...] In fact I do not expect to get her at all [...]" (11 April 1887). Her frustration with such committees is evident, even for an influential person such as herself, but she recognizes the enormous progress that has already been made in changing the status of nursing into a highly trained respectable profession. She goes on to discuss the tasks of the district nurse and her ability to become a role model: "The work of the District Nurses is truly not only to nurse, but to teach the families how to nurse […] to know to what charity or authority to apply, to get flannels, sick comforts, food & stimulants, where ordered - sick appliances, bedding, warm clothing, where imperatively needed [...] do not you think that these things had better not be given by the District Nurse herself. For where alms-giving, clothes-giving [...] is practiced by the nurse, real nursing flies out of the window [...] if the nurse has really that influence which she ought to have in the Patient's family, do they not become ashamed of letting her see the man or the woman drunk again? And does not that exercise a reforming influence? [...]" (23 May 1889). - The collection includes a facsimile letter dated May 1900 addressed to all her nurses ("My dear children") in which she recognizes her role as the Mother of Nursing and speaks of advances in medicine and the professionalisation of nursing, ending however with a swipe at the suffragists: "You have called me your mother-chief, it is an honour to me & a great honour, to call you my children [...] Woman was the home drudge. Now she is the teacher. Let her not forfeit it by being the arrogant - the 'Equal with men' [...]". - Enclosed is an ALS by Jessie Lennox to Dr Lilias Maclay (b.1893), discussing a letter Lennox gave to Maclay seven years after the death of Florence Nightingale: "This one was written when Miss Florence Nightingale was quite an old lady, when her hand was not very steady. The writing in the early ones is much stronger [...] her body is at rest but her work is still very much with us [...]" (Edinburgh, 21 Dec. 1917). With autograph envelope. Maclay had enrolled at Glasgow University to study for a medical degree in 1912, passing the course with first class certificates in clinical surgery. During WWI she served with the Royal Army Medical Corps in Egypt and is one of the few females featured in the University's Roll of Honour. After her marriage to John Edmund Hamilton in 1926 she practised as a doctor in Glasgow and Edinburgh. - Further includes a typescript solicitor's letter, confirming that a total of 16 letters by Florence Nightingale were bequeathed to Dr Maclay after Lennox's death in 1933. - An extraordinarily well-preserved set.

Des offres plus nombreuses et sans centre poids ont fait fléchir nos cours, sensiblement [...] la clôture a été très faible [...]" (Lyon, 12 Sept. 1860). - From the bank Édouard Couve & Co. about mailing "100 sacs piastres" to Paris, as instructed by Rothschild Frères, pointing out that they were not aware of the piasters before the previous day: "Nous vous confirmons votre lettre du 4 courant, ce n'est qu'hier matin que nous est parvenu le connaissement aux 100 sacs piastres [...] nous les avons de suite débarqués et suivant vos instructions par le fil, nous vous les éxpédions ce jour en gare de Paris [...]" (postmark: Marseille, 6 June 1860). - The remaining letters are issued by the companies Heidsieck & Co. (Reims), Arlès-Dufour & Co. (Lyon), Antoine Hesse (Marseille), and Wolff & Co. (Nancy). - With vertical folds; one letter with a small tear in lower margin.

br. L'11 settembre 2001 le televisioni di tutto il mondo trasmettono in diretta un attentato senza precedenti rivolto al cuore del capitalismo: a New York City, due aerei di linea carichi di passeggeri, dirottati, sfondano le Torri Gemelle causandone il crollo nel giro di pochi minuti, davanti agli occhi di milioni di spettatori increduli e atterriti. C'è un nuovo nemico che minaccia l'Occidente, e può tutto, non ci sono limiti alla follia. La paura diventa reale, agghiacciante, ubiqua. "11 settembre... C'era una volta in America" racconta quegli istanti drammatici attraverso gli occhi di media e informazione, impreparati di fronte all'evento più drammatico del millennio. A vent'anni di distanza, sei giovani storici presentano e discutono la narrazione mediatica di quella che sarebbe potuta diventare una guerra globale: l'odio che si alimenta assieme a una solidarietà senza precedenti, città in festa e altre in lutto mentre uno scontro di civiltà si prepara, e il mondo sembra avviarsi a un cambiamento senza possibilità di ritorno. E l'informazione con lui. Un'indagine lucida e appassionata volta a rispondere a una sola domanda: il mondo è davvero cambiato dopo l'11 settembre? Con interventi di Lorenzo Desirò, Francesco Gallo, Luca Marchetti, Carla Oppo, Elena Pierattini, Lorena Rao. Prefazione di Manfredi Merluzzi.
