155 pages. Black and white illustrations. "This book is a first attempt to analyse the Paris Agreements and to show the great dangers which they entail for all Germans and all the peoples of Europe. The book was completed at the beginning of January 1955 and does not deal with any of the written and oral secret agreements which form part of the Paris Agreements and which have, so far, been kept secret. This book is intended to be a contribution to the maintenance of peace in Europe and the reunification of Germany." - from Preface. "The main aim of the Paris and London agreements is to rearm German militarism and turn a remilitarised West Germany into a military camp of the imperialist Western Powers. It is noteworthy that every effort has been made to camouflage this decisive fact - the creation of a West German Army." - The opening lines of the book. Unmarked. Average wear. Binding intact. Decent working copy of this interesting work. Book

pp.x, 235. "As a research scientist and product design engineer [the author] has been directly involved with programs and projects for the design and development of portable cell phones, radio frequency mobile radios, microwave telecommunications systems, video display systems, and biological effects research." - vi. "Provides a broad view of the scientific landscape that clearly advises us that there is danger here. Provides a historical accounting of the research that is available, has been available for forty years or more, and has been neglected or buried by an industry that will place its absolute need to sell products above the health and well-being of its own customers. The practice of producing such products can only be viewed as predatory. Offers a commentary on a litany of past research studies, hundreds of research studies from the 1950s through the mid-1990s. These older studies are alarming in their findings of radiation exposure, DNA damage, chromosome damage, tissue damage, radiation absorption, cataract formation, tumor formation, memory loss, motor skills degradation, and more." - ix-x. Clean and unmarked with light wear. Sunning to spine and parts of front cover. Binding tight. A quality copy of this extraordinary and most timely expose. Book

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. Four black and white plates. Unmarked with average wear to publisher's navy blue cloth. Binding sound. Above-average wear to dust jacket now preserved in mylar. Photocopy of New York Times book review, dated May 28, 1939, laid-in. A sound signed copy of the life story of this highly-influential Virginian. Book
48 pages. Printed upon glossy stock. Abundantly illustrated with black and white photographs. "Tells the story of the peoples of Canada, and points to a road for us to follow towards permanent unification of all our groups into one strong, resolute nation." - from Foreword. Eight pages are devoted to the subject of 'World Conspiracies" and the fact that "The Communist conspiracy has worked among many of our Canadian groups, the most important of which, in terms of numbers, are the Anglo-Saxons, the Ukrainians, the Russians, the Finns, the Magyars, the Jews, and the Poles." Also discusses Nazi infiltration in Quebec. Above-average but not excessive wear. Top inch of front cover missing. Unmarked. Still a sound copy of this fascinating, rare, and now politically incorrect, work. Show this to your young kids to illustrate how times have changed. Book
626 pages. Glossary. "Highlights from the State of Competition in the Canadian Petroleum Industry - the government report that alleges monopoly practices by Canada's big oil companies." - from front cover. "Compiled from the more than 135,000 secret oil company documents that were seized by government investigators in raids between 1973 and 1978.... Shows that the oil companies purposely restricted competition, worked together to keep prices and profits up, and sacrificed Canadian interests when they were told to do so by their foreign parents." - from back cover. Considering that Esso sounds eerily like an acronym for the Rockefeller's Standard Oil (S.O.) readers of this work will also surely be interested in the early writings of Ida Tarbell and her revelations about the methods of that company and its founder, J.D. Rockefeller. Has anything changed? Book
95 pages. Author's signature upon title page. "Money, and in modern times credit, in all their forms and instruments, are the lifeblood of society and the nation. For generations, practically all modern industrialized nations have experienced periods of boom times and inflation, followed by depression, hard times and a shortage of 'money'... and in recent decades, every country seems plagued with an escalating mountain of debt - and taxation to pay the interest on the mounting debt." - dust jacket. Author has been an inexhaustable and prominent proponent of freedom for Canadians for many decades. Unread. Gift quality. Book

Engraved Ex Libris of the Bibliotheque Congregation de Notre Dame, Maison des Oiseaux. Oval engraved French booksellers label (Potey). Brunet V:88. Sallust was a famed Roman historian and politician. He was tribune of the people (52 B.C.) and praetor (46). He was ejected (50) from the senate ostensibly for adultery, but more probably because of his partisanship for Caesar. He served with Caesar after his pra etorship, and was his governor in Numidia; he was subsequently accused of misusing his governorship for personal gain. His principal works are the Bellum Catilinae, on the conspiracy of Catiline, and his account of the Jugurthine War, Bellum Jugurthinum. His history of Rome is extant only in fragments; it probably covered the period 78 B.C. to 67 B.C. As a historian Sallust was important as one of t he first to write historical monographs dealing with sharply limited events and periods. Although his style is consciously archaic, it is distinguished by its terseness and directness. His character s ketches are particularly impressive and vivid, and his work has found as many imitators as critics - Columbia Encyclopedia. A very nice example of one of the best editions of Sallust. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! SMALL BOX 1
pp. 48, 392, (1) + Three plates engraved by Charles Nicolas Cochin (1715-1790) + Engraved headpiece. Woodcut printer's device. Small 8vo. [146 x 85 mm.] All edges gold gilt. Wide margins. Fine contemporary full French olive morocco gilt binding. Silk doublures. Manuscript Crozat (1813) ownership. Leather gold Ex Libris of Dudley C. Majoribanks. Dudley Coutts Marjoribanks, 1st Baron Tweedmouth, also known as the Laird of Guisachan and Glenaffric (18201894), was a Scottish businessman and a Liberal politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1853 until 1880, when he was elevated to the peerage as Baron Tweedmouth. Beautifully printed and handsomely bound edition that appears to be essentially the sheets of the 1744 edition with a new title page. Includes a life of Sallust by Etienne Andre Philippe de Pretot (d. 1787). A brief history of the Barbou Classics is given by Schweiger (II 1269). In 1742 Lenglet de Fresnoy persuaded Coustelier to start a series which was meant to be a French rival to the Elzeviers - even surpassing them in terms of scholarship and typography. Though this effort soon exhausted itself, it was revived by Jean Joseph Barbou in 1753. Seven of these attractive little books appeared in 1753-1755, and though there were more issued in the next decade, there was not enough market interest to support a sustained publishing program. They still stand as a monument to French scholarship and typography. Brunet V:87. Very scarce. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! SMALL BOX 3
