A modern Jew, perhaps for the first time, analyzes western civilization as an expression of the Gentile way of life and shows where this clashes with the nature and spiritual impulses of the Jew. - paraphrased from front flap of replica dust jacket included with this copy. "We Jews, we, the destroyers, will remain the destroyers for ever. Nothing that you will do will meet our needs and demands - The wretched fate which scattered us through your midst has thrust this unwelcome role upon us." - p. 155. "I console myself with the thought that if this book offends by its assertiveness, God knows that the infinite tactfulness of thousands of other Jews seems to have offended no less. Whatever we do we are damned - and I would rather be damned standing up than lying down." - p. 221. "Born in Romania, Maurice Samuel [1895-1972] moved to the United States in 1914.

Reflections and recollections of Paul Warburg [1868 - 1932], considered by many to have been the main driver behind the establishment of the Federal Reserve System in 1913. Warburg was reluctant to publish this work until, in the autumn of 1928, "I became convinced that the Federal Reserve System had entered upon a gravely critical period in its career, and that for the discussion about to ensue it was highly important that certain vital facts in the origin and growth of the System be adequately understood." - viii [v1].

x, [2], 423 pages. Index. "There is no man living who, from the beginning or in the progress or at the ending of federal reserve legislation, was more closely or constantly than I privy to and identified with the consideration and enactment of the law under which the federal reserve banking system was set up. Ever since the enactment of the federal reserve law it has been my intention to write, some day, a story of the many inside events, word of which never reached beyond a closely restricted circle and had no such thing as current newspaper attention. Very likely my desire to tell the dramatic story would have abated if not for the recent publication of the 'Intimate Papers' in which the paternity of the Federal Reserve Act and its particular management are placidly ascribed to Colonel E.M. House." - Introduction. Accordingly, Chapter III of this book is devoted to a scathing critique of the veracity of 'The Intimate Papers of Colonel House', first published in 1926. Colonel House was an intimate confidant of Woodrow Wilson, President when the Federal Reserve Act was passed. Latter day conspiracy researchers argue House successfully advocated for the interests of the House of Rothschild during the development and passage of the Federal Reserve Act. In response to Glass's book, Paul Warburg, also instrumental in the founding of the Federal Reserve, was "impelled to lay down in black and white my recollections of certain events in the history of banking reform." - Preface to his two-volume work The Federal Reserve System, Its Origins and Growth - Reflections and Recollections, published in 1930. Commenting on Glass's book, James Grant, of Interest Rate Observer fame, notes "the story of the creation of the Fed by its chief progenitor, Carter Glass, makes you doubt he would recognize today's Federal Reserve, were he brought back to life to inspect it. He explodes in indignation at any who would impugn the proposed Federal Reserve note as mere fiat money. In fact, he considered the currency to be as good as gold - or better." Clearly, Glass's recollections herein represent a profoundly important chronicle of the origins and founding of the Federal Reserve System. Frontispiece photo portrait of Woodrow Wilson. Former university library copy with usual markings. Sturdily rebound in navy buckram. Book
156 pages. Index. Seventeen black and white plates.

"The goal to move America into global government is not new. It was the goal of many British aristocrats, specifically Cecil Rhodes and industrialist Andrew Carnegie, along with the Pilgrim Society." - Joan Veon, 2007.

Signed and affectionately inscribed by Carter Glass upon front free endpaper. "Here is a character composed of truth, sincerity and courage. He hates deceit and detests a lie. But this Jeffersonian Democrat possesses a rarer integrity which we call intellectual integrity. Appointed to the Banking and Currency Committee in 1904, the supreme opportunity soon came to him to be the chief architect of the Federal Reserve System. He became the great post-WWI Secretary of the treasury and won Woodrow Wilson's intimacy, trust and praise. He came to the Senate and is the most outstanding Senator Virginia has ever contributed to the nation's chief deliberative council." - Introduction. xv, [1], 519 pages. Index.

Butler [1881-1940] knew his subject intimately, having served in numerous military actions around the world while coming to his conclusion.

225 pages. "Beneath the great westward flow of our civilization, there are undercurrents moving eastward. These are impelled by a spirit which looks back to the east, to the days of tyrant and slave, of luxury and misery, and incidentally to the suppression of western culture...

Book
[9], 10-320 pages. Name Index. Subject index. Dedicated to Arthur Kitson, "the British pioneer of the new economics, to whose writings the author owes his initial interest in the fascinating problems of wealth and currency." - dedication page. Soddy [1877-1956] was awarded the 1921 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his work related to isotopes and the transmutation of elements resulting from radiation. Inspired by Kitson, he began writing about economics in 1921, focussing on monetary policy and the role of energy in economic systems. "Soddy's economic writings were largely ignored in his time, but would later be applied to the development of ecological economics in the late 20th century." - E. Zencey. On page 289 Soddy footnotes the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion, stating "It is very widely believed that there has been something akin to an actual financial conspiracy to enslave the world." "But of the existence of a real conspiracy - a conspiracy of silence - on all monetary problems, in the Press and on political platforms, among editors, publishers and economists, who more than any others ought to be alive and awake to their infinite importance - there can be no question whatever." - p.291. "It was indeed a revelation to the author, accustomed to think of the battle for liberty of thought in scientific matters as having been fought and won centuries ago at the time of Galileo and the Inquisition, to find that in economics, as distinct from physics, it has not yet been won at all. If economics were really a science it would not need to protect itself from criticism by a conspiracy of silence." - p.292. Relatively minor marginal ink markings to thirteen pages. Front free endpaper removed. Ink stamp of "Technocracy Inc., Continental Headquarters, New York City" upon half-title. Front hinge starting. Above-average wear to publisher's green cloth.

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. Bookplate upon front free endpaper. Last two leaves of index loose but present. Back free endpaper missing. Front board loosely attached. Tiny bit of writing atop last blank page.

True first edition copy. The first American edition, published by Harper & Brothers, issued in 1938. - Baumgarten p.94. The only children's book written by Haldane, a prominent geneticist credited with coining the term clone. Enigmatic online videographer and purported AI expert Quinn Michaels posits that this book contains vital hidden information conveyed in "spy language", most notably a transistor diagram incorporated into the illustration on page 123, despite the fact that it is commonly held that the transistor was not invented by a Bell Labs team until a decade later. For additional information on Michaels' intriguing analysis enter the title of this book plus the word 'analysis', into the most popular video website. 179 pages. Dust jacket not included.

208 pages. "The numbers of Brutus, originally published in the New-York Observer Revised and Corrected by the Author" - subtitle. "The public mind is awake far and wide to the fact, that Popery is a political as well as a religious system, nor will freemen be lulled to sleep by the popish anodyne of no controversy; they will not rest till these more than suspicious manoeuverings of Jesuit intriguers; of Austrian conspirators against their liberties, shall have been searched to the bottom." - Preface.

Separated from his family, Dr. Miklos Nyiszli [1901-1956] was chosen to direct the medical pathology work carried on among the prisoners by the Nazis for the purpose of 'scientific research' in that most infamous of all concentration camps. Through the doctor's eyes, we relive not only the day-to-day horrors of life in the KZ but also witness the slow disintegration of an empire built to last a thousand years.

354 pages. Index. Footnotes. "On very rare occasions a book appears which forever changes the way in which we perceive the world around us. Within a short while it becomes hard to understand how we could have functioned without the knowledge gained from it. This is such a book. Quigley presents certain 'keys' crucial to the understanding of 20th century political, economic and military events - events of the past, present, and future... The fact that Carroll Quigley, a highly respected professor at Georgetown University and an instructor at Princeton and Harvard, could not find a publisher for this work, is in itself significant." - Stephen A. Zarlenga, Publisher. Light wear to book which is clean and unmarked but for prior owner's neat signature atop front free endpaper.

vi, [2], 312 pp. Index. Black and white photographic plates including frontis portrait of Vanderlip who rose from humble beginnings to become head of National City Bank. This work most notable for Chapter XXI entitled 'A Conclave on Jekyl Island' which states: "There was an occasion, near the close of 1910, when I was as secretive, indeed, as furtive as any conspirator...

An appalling expose of the situation of the national minorities in the Balkans and in Central Europe (which) tried heroically to call to the attention of the French people the dangers to which France and all Europe were exposing themselves should France continue to finance and support the criminal and ambitious political parties of the Little Entente, and especially of Yugoslavia... The book is prohibited in the Little Entente, Greece and Turkey, and in Yugoslavia; any government official or employee apprehended reading the book is given five years of hard labour." - from Translator's note to the English Edition.

Signed and inscribed by Gary Webb upon half-title page. xxviii, 548 pages. Footnotes, glossary and index. "Shows how the L.A. crack market flourished through a breathtaking combination of government negligence, greed, and criminal conduct... Demonstrates that U.S. government agencies, including the CIA, DEA and FBI, were aware of the activities of this well-connected drug network and did little or nothing to stop it. Indeed, in several instances documented here, the Justice Department, the CIA, and the secret National Security Council unit run by Oliver North, took extraordinary steps to protect the ring from public exposure. In the final chapters Webb reveals the conflict that led to his newspaper's stunning repudiation of its own series - and at what cost he stood by his story." - from dust jacket.
