1943277008Kamnik district Slovenia: Tehnika RK VI 1943. 30pp. 8vo mimeographed text with images original tan wrappers with mimeographed cover.<br/> <br/> This rare surviving pamphlet from World War II was produced by the Yugoslav Partisans the most accomplished armed resistance movement against the Axis occupation of Europe. Starting out as a guerilla group the Partisans soon created a complete underground society based on Communist principles including schools government and medical institutions financial systems and publishing presses. This pamphlet produced by one such press likely hidden in the mountains or forests of Slovenia addresses an emergent need in such a new clandestine society: that for maps. It proceeds in logical order: geographical vocabulary instructions for making field maps and later more sophisticated and symbolic drafting techniques. Within this technical know-how it also communicates tactical military advice that the Partisan guerillas employed in their battles with Axis armies. This tactical quality of the publication is most in evidence in the pamphlets many striking diagrams which demonstrate the importance of visual knowledge in situations of survival.<BR> <BR> This pamphlet was one of many Partisan publications designed to educate protect and encourage members of the movement. It is particularly fascinating for its simple means of production since the secrecy of Partisan operations limited them to mechanical methods such as mimeographs--in witness here--as well as heliotypes linocuts and typewriting. Given its fragility the pamphlet is in excellent condition with clean text. Slight stains and some very small tears in margins. As one of the few Partisan publications on cartography this pamphlet is a rare and fascinating record of the World War II resistance.<br/> <br/> Tehnika RK VI unknown

George Montagu (1753?1815), English army officer and naturalist. In 1770 he joined the army as an Ensign in the 15th Regiment of Foot and In December 1775 George was promoted to the rank of Captain on the same day that the regiment was ordered to America. He resigned his commission as a Captain in 1777, but eventually rose to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Wiltshire Militia. This, his first publication, is little known and is rare, he is better known for his pioneering two-volume Ornithological Dictionary; or Alphabetical Synopsis of British Birds of 1802, which for the first time accurately defined the status of Britain's birds. He is remembered today for species such as the Montagu's harrier, named for him. ESTC locating 3 UK copies (BL, Cambridge and St. Andrews), with just 1 copy located in North America (Smithsonian).

1937005657Hamburg, Hanseatische Verlagsanstalt ohne Jahr [1937-1942], 1937. Zusammen 5265 Seiten. Großformatige Orig.-Leinenbände, die Kopie der beiden Register als private Broschur. Wie schon der Titel verdeutlicht, ist das Werk nicht frei von den Einflüssen seiner Entstehungszeit. Dennoch bleib diese Sammlung von 3359 zum großen Teil bebilderten Kurzbiographien der Generale von den Anfängen der kurbrandenburgisch-preußischen Armee bis ca. zum Beginn des Ersten Weltkriegs ein unentbehrliches Hilfsmittel für Historiker und Genealogen. Der Vorbesitzer hat die sehr seltenen beiden broschierten Register (die hier "Verzeichnisse" heißen) von dem Exemplar aus der Bibliothek der Führungakademie der Bundeswehr in Hamburg kopiert; das zweite, schmalere Register erschien kriegsbedingt ohnehin nur noch als Vervielfältigung des Schreibmaschinentyposkripts. Diese Register sind so unbekannt, daß sie selbst in der Berliner Staats- und der Deutschen Nationalbibliothek in Leipzig ebenfalls nur als Kopien vorliegen und die Wissenschaftliche Bibliothek des Militärgeschichtlichen Instituts der DDR 1980 sogar ein eigenes neues Verzeichnis anfertigen ließ. Der Rücken von Band 10 ist gering verblaßt, sonst handelt es sich jedoch um ein vollständiges, gut erhaltenes Exemplar mit nur leichten Gebrauchsspuren.
