(42) SS., 2222 Spp. Mit Druckermarke am Titel. Lederband der Zeit auf 5 Doppelbünden mit goldgepr. floraler Rückenverzierung sowie rotem Rückenschildchen. Folio. Große und vollständige Ausgabe der Digestum Vetum mit der Glosse des Accursius und Denis Godefroys (1549-1622) Zusätzen. Das Titelblatt ziert jene berühmte Druckermarke, welche einen fliegenumschwirrten Löwen mit dem Spruch "De forti dulcendo" zeigt. Dieser ging als "lion moucheté" in die Geschichte ein. Die Digesten, das juristische Kernstück des Corpus Iuris Civilis, werden seit dem Mittelalter unterteilt in drei Teile: Digestum Vetus, Infortitum und Digestum Novum. Der Inhalt ist ein Flickenteppich, der von einer Gesetzeskommission aus einer grossen Masse von juristischen Schriften des 1. bis 2. Jhs. zusammengestellt worden ist. Die Ende des 11. Jhs. in Bologna zugrundegelegte Handschrift, die Vulgata oder "Littera Bononiensis", bestimmte den Rechtsunterricht und die Rechtspraxis bis Mitte des 16. Jhs. Im Jahre 1553 wurde eine weitere archetypische Handschrift der Pandekten ediert, die unter dem Namen "Littera Florentina" rechtshistorische Bedeutung erlangte. Der Druck des Corpus war ein umkämpfter Markt: Zunächst war Venedig beherrschend, wurde jedoch zu Beginn des 16. Jhs. von Lyon abgelöst. - Am Titel zeitgenöss. hs. Besitzvermerk "Ex Libris Joannis Francisci Xaverii Rascas Patroni" (d. i. Jean Francois Xavier de Rascas, Rechtsgelehrter und Erzdiakon von St. Sauveur d'Aix, der als "avocat au parlament" an der Jurisdiktion im Ancien Regime mitwirkte). Ecken und Kanten berieben, Lederbezug des Einbands größenteils abgelöst. Teils wurmstichig und wasserfleckig. Nicht in STC-BM French oder bei Adams.

Only edition. - The scholar and mathematician Meyer Moses Kornick (also: Kurnik, d. in Hamburg in 1826) was a native of Glogau in Silesia, where he also served as a rabbi. "Kornick, who had corresponded with Rabbis Akiva Eger and Moses Sofer as well as contemporary Christian savants, published synoptic calendar tables that were highly regarded in scholarly circles, both Jewish and non-Jewish [... This] concordance of Julian, Gregorian, Jewish, and Islamic calendars formed the basis of Jahn's 'Tafeln' (Leipzig, 1856). It was highly praised by Isidore Loeb in his 'Tables du Calendrier Juif' (Paris: Durlacher, 1886). Max Simon [...] explained that although Kornick's esteemed tables were sold out at booksellers they still could be found with scholars who rely upon the tables for their research" (E. Carlebach, When Does the Modern Period of the Jewish Calendar Begin?, in: L. Strauss [ed.], Mediating Modernity [2008], pp. 43-54, at p. 47; 53). - Some brownstaining, mainly confined to margins.

Large 8vo. 2 vols. XVIII, (4), 379, (1) pp. IV, (2), 479, (1) pp. Contemporary blue half cloth, spines finely gilt. First edition. The first great book of the author, the future leader of the Allgemeiner Deutscher Arbeiterverein, the first German social democratic party founded in 1863: a voluminous study on the pre-Socratic philosopher Heraclitus, on which Lassalle worked for more than fifteen years.

First (vol. 1: second) edition. - Launhardt began his career as a civil engineer, later becoming professor at the Technical University in Hanover and its first rector. A specialist in the technology and economics of road and railway transportation, he gradually applied his insights to the more general problems of transportation networks. His fame as an economist is chiefly based upon his "Mathematische Begründung der Volkswirthschaftslehre" (1885), which gave Launhardt a prominent place in the history of economic analysis. His work is characterized as "Germany's most important and in fact only significant contribution to the 'marginal revolution' in the last three decades of the 19th century. In the economic analysis of transportation and location, this contribution was not surpassed until the 1930s. Available only in German, some of it in publications that are hard to find, it still has not found the recognition it deserves, and Schumpeter's references [...] are inadequate" (New Palgrave). - The present work on the "theory of network planning" consists of two parts: the first, on "commercial network planning", is a much revised and enlarged version of an earlier publication ("Kommercielle Tracirung der Verkehrwege", 1872), containing the derivation of efficiency criteria without regard to topography. The second part, on "technical network planning for railroads", applies economic efficiency criteria to curves and gradients imposed by topography. "The contributions to economics are found in Part I. This begins with a discussion of investment criteria. From a social point of view, networks should be planned in such a way that the sum of operating and capital costs is a minimum. Private capitalists, however, try to maximize the internal rate of return on their capital. Under perfect competition the two criteria would coincide, since the internal rate of return, if duly maximized, would equal the market rate of interest. In reality, however, since the railroad industry is inherently non-competetive, rates of return can be pushed above market rates of interest by keeping railroad investment below the social optimum. This was one of Launhardt's basic arguments for government ownership of railroads" (ibid.). - Binding insignificantly rubbed, spines sunned.

The famous brochure setting forth the conditions for the dictatorship of the proletariat and the suppression of the capitalist state. Considered by Lucio Colletti to constitute Lenin's "greatest contribution to political theory", the book describes the role of the state in society, the necessity of a proletarian revolution, and the theoretic inadequacies of social democracy in achieving revolution to establish the dictatorship of the proletariat. With the foreword of the 1917 first edition. - Frayed at edges. Several pencil annotations. Contemporary ownership to title-page ("T. Rehsner"?). Lenin, Collected Works XXV, 381-492. OCLC 40548203.

Presentation copy for Lucien March, inscribed by the author on the half-title of vol. 1. - Now-classic historical and statistical studies on French and comparative population: this is among the major achievements of the author hailed as "the father of modern economic history in France"; its publication was "an even more important event in historiography" than the publication of his voluminous history of the working classes. "For Levasseur, the object of statistics as a science was to make numerical data available to historians and economists. Indeed, he believed that statistics had become an indispensable tool for the historian". - A fine set. Einaudi 3379. IESS IX, 261.
4to. 115 numbered issues bound in one volume. 4 pp. each (except no. 59, comprising 8 pp.). With numerous woodcut illustrations. Contemporary half calf over marbled boards with giltstamped spine and spine-title. A remarkable ensemble of 115 complete issues of the popular anti-corn law periodical, edited by the social reformer and politician Livesey (1794-1884), "one of the unsung heroes of the anti-corn law campaign" (Miller). Issued from December 1841 until the repeal of the laws in 1846, the periodical amounted to 235 issues in total, reaching up to 15,000 readers a week - a "unique reach compared to other free trade periodicals" (ibid.). In his journal Livesey "anticipated the working-class liberalism that developed after Chartism. The content of 'The Struggle' bears a close affinity to the key tenets of later Gladstonian liberalism, with its emphasis on Cobdenite free trade, manly independence, self-improvement, and respectability" (ibid.). - Each issue begins with a political caricature attacking trade restrictions, featuring prominent figures like Sir Robert Peel and Queen Victoria, as well as allegorical depictions with characters including "Buckingham Badger, the monopolist" compared to "Cheap John, the free trader". - The present volume comprises issues 1 through 120, omitting only 6 issues (nos. 9, 35, 62, 64, 79 and 109). No. 120 is followed by no. 224; no. 29 bound after no. 30. Binding somewhat rubbed; spine professionally repaired. Paper with some marginal tears, sometimes causing slight loss to text; occasionally brownstained. Provenance: from the collection of Chimen Abramsky (1916-2010), London.

In 1964 he became the leader of the group "expression typographique" at the Hollenstein studio in Paris; two years later he accepted a position as teacher of typography and interdisciplinary design in Lucerne, but also set up his own studio as well as a publishing house. He participated at the creation of the F&F School for experimental design in Zurich. - In fine condition, showing only light wear.

12mo. 1, (1 blank), 1, (1 blank), 3, (1 blank), 333 pp. With a portrait of Mao used as a frontispiece. Red vinyl cover wrapper over cardboard. Arabic translation of the "Quotations from Chairman Mao Tse-tung", popularly known as the "Little Red Book". First compiled and published in 1964, by 1970 several billion copies were printed as every Chinese citizen was more or less obliged to own and carry a copy. After the book was approved for publication outside China in 1966, the Foreign Languages Press oversaw the translation and publication of the book into dozens of languages. The Arabic translation was first published in 1967 and printed not in China but in Egypt to influence the Pan-Arabist movement. According to an article in the Peking Review, China's official foreign newspaper: "The publication [...] was enthusiastically welcomed by the revolutionary Arab masses. Some of them began to read Chairman Mao's works on the street as soon as they bought them. [...] While working hard to print the Quotations, the workers at the printing house squeezed in time to study this treasured book of revolution" (Peking Review). The "Quotations" became the inspiration for the form, if not the contents, of Muammar Gaddafi's "Green Book". - With a stamp of the "Committee on New Alternatives in the Middle East" on the front endpaper and a faded Chinese stamp on the back endpaper; a very good copy. "Mao Tsetung thought inspires Arab people's advance", in: Peking Review 17 (25 April 1969), pp. 13-15.

8vo. 97, (3) pp. Original printed wrappers. A new issue ("5me mille") of the second French translation, first published in 1901. No. 8 in the "Bibliothèque socialiste". - Prepared by the French Germanist and philosopher Charles Andler after the fourth German edition of 1890. Includes the preface of Marx and Engels to the second edition of 1872, as well as Engels' prefaces to the editions of 1883 and 1890. With an appendix titled "La collaboration de Frédéric Engels à la Réforme de Flocon et de Ledru-Rollin". - A few unobtrusive marginal pencil strokes on p. 39. Andréas 459. Cf. Rubel 70. Stammhammer III, 224, 2.
8vo. 55, (1), 30 pp. Original printed wrappers. Very scarce, uncommon Russian-language edition of the Communist Manifesto. The translation was prepared by Georgi Plekhanov, who greatly enhanced the 1869 first Russian version made by Bakunin, which had omitted several sections of the German original. The present edition contains the prefaces of the 1872, 1883, and 1890 editions along with Plekhanov's footnotes from his 1900 edition. - Marx and Engels' groundbreaking work of communist propaganda is "undoubtedly the most widespread, the most international production of all Socialist literature, the common platform acknowledged by millions of working men from Siberia to California" (preface to the 1888 edition). In the words of the British economist Harold Laski, the Manifesto is "admitted by every serious student of society to be one of the outstanding documents of all time". It also constitutes an early sum of Marx' and Engels' ideas, later to become known under the heading of 'scientific socialism': "[L]e manifeste renferme en puissance la quasi-totalité des idées élaborées par ses deux auteurs dans leurs ouvrages ultérieurs et qui, dans leur ensemble, représentent ce qu'ils appellent le socialisme scientifique; la seul exception importante est la théorie de la plus-value" (Andréas, p. 1). - Unbeknownst to either author, it would be Russia where the Revolution heralded by the Manifesto would finally take place, under the leadership of their disciple Lenin who did not discover Marxism until after Marx's death (but who was later to prepare his own translation of the Communist Manifesto). - Old shelfmark-label to front cover. A few marginal flaws. Uncut copy. OCLC 913119785. Cf. Andréas 135 (1882 ed.). PMM 326.

Large 8vo. 3 vols. VII, (1), CLIX, (1), 352 pp. VII, (1), 536 pp. VIII, 468 pp. With folding table in vol. 1. Contemporary grey wrappers with handwritten titles to spine. First edition, likely first issue. The only authentic account of the finances of France previous to the Revolution. This was undoubtedly Necker's most successful book: it saw some 20 editions (or issues) within a few years, including translations into English, German and other languages. It is said to have sold 80,000 copies, though McCulloch's statement that this occurred "in the course of a few days" would seem exaggerated. Carpenter distinguishes seven issues all dated "1784" and, according to him, all printed from the same type setting, but differing in pagination as well as in location and number of errata. The present issue fully agrees the description of his first item (with respectively 12, 10 and 8 errata on the last preliminary page of each volume), but it does not show the misnumbering of page VIII of the third volume. The second volume includes the Supplement (pp. 533-536) referring to the edict of August 1784 which "appeared since the printing of the previous chapters". - Entirely untrimmed copy measuring ca. 14 x 21,8 cm.
