Rarissime publication donnée par Théophraste et Eusèbe Renaudot. Il s’agit, dit E. Hatin dans Th. Renaudot et ses “innocentes inventions” p. 137 de NOTRE PREMIER RECUEIL SCIENTIFIQUE.Dès 1633, Renaudot tenait à son Bureau d’adresse une “académie ouverte à tous les bons esprits, qui venaient conférer en public de toutes les plus belles manières de physique, de morale, mathématiques et autres disciplines, et laquelle était une des plus belles et plus utiles institutions qu’eût faites Renaudot au jugement même de plusieurs de ses ennemis.” Les comptes-rendus de cette académie suivent de près la célèbre Gazette et les Petites Affiches, débuts du journalisme en France. Le goût des réunions littéraires était alors fort répandu. On se réunissait chez Melle de Gournay, Balzac et Ménage pour parler de langue et de littérature. Renaudot, le premier, organisa des conférences scientifiques tous les lundis de 2 à 4 heures. Le programme était donné à l’avance et le compte rendu était publié en livraisons. Les sujets étaient variés. Pour n’en citer que quelques uns : la matière première, le mouvement perpétuel, le feu, l’air, l’eau, deux frères monstrueux dans un même corps, petite fille velue, les 3 soleils, les mélancoliques sont-ils les plus ingénieux ou prudents ?, du siège de la folie, l’homme est-il plus enclin à l’amour que la femme ?, l’écho, l’origine des vents, le flux et reflux de la mer, astrologie judiciaire, le cocuage, embaumements, somnambulisme, cabbale, comètes, pierre philosophale, du vide, si les couleurs sont réelles, le sommeil, la goutte, les fards, le tabac, la rosée, remèdes chimiques, talismans, volcans, eaux minérales, mal de mer, incubes et succubes, origine des pierres précieuses, métempsychose, noblesse commerçante, truffes et champignons, si la musique fait plus de bien que de mal, sterilité, ivrognerie, hiéroglyphes, feux follets, hermaphrodites, nègres, licornes, plantes sensitives, mandragore, etc.Physique, chimie, ésotérisme, philosophie, médecine, pharmacie, histoire naturelle, métaphysique, morale, politique, hygiène, tous les sujets sont abordés dans ce recueil extraordinaire qui est l’ancêtre de toutes les annales scientifiques.Reliure du tome IV abimée, mouillures sur ce même tome.

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. Webb was found dead in his home in 2004 with two gunshot wounds to his head. Curiously, his death was ruled a suicide. Clean and unmarked with light wear. Dust jacket now in archival-grade mylar.

1890WRCAM55735N.p. but Puebla: Tip. Rinconada de Manzanares 1890. Broadside 23 1/2 x 15 3/4 inches printed in five columns with masthead showing a version of Mexico's coat of arms with eagle holding rattlesnake perched on crossed pikes above a cannon. Uniformly toned. Old folds and wrinkles short splits and minor loss at crossfolds mild staining. Overall good plus. An apparently-unrecorded broadside from Mexico printed during the reign of President Porfirio DÃÂaz who served a total of thirty- one years as the chief executive and effectively the dictator of Mexico. As with other dictatorial regimes DÃÂaz had a contentious and sometimes violent relationship with the press. He is known to have very occasionally condoned if not initiated the murder and imprisonment of journalists though he also often courted journalists to give them the impression that he was on their side expecting support in return. As a result Diaz often favored imprisonment over the outright assassination of journalists. During his dictatorship DÃÂaz sent numerous dissident politicians and journalists to the prisons of Belén or San Juan de Ulúa though being sent to the former was widely considered tantamount to a death sentence anyway. Journalists and political enemies were just two groups subject to DÃÂaz's theory of rule - that cruel means though unfortunate were justified by the end result of national progress. <br> <br> The present broadside calls for clemency from DÃÂaz in his dealings with imprisoned journalists and politicians. The author of the broadside mentions past injustices related to journalists and political prisoners. In the first column the text mentions Ignacio Ramirez and his pen name "el Nigromante;" Ramirez was a liberal writer and thinker who often defended the rights of indigenous peoples in Mexico. Here the author accuses the conservative party of trying to intimidate Ramirez and many others like him by putting "the hand of an enraged hitman on the neck of the liberal journalist." a rough translation. The text also references the Third Battle of Puebla fought on April 2 1867 and won by Porfirio DÃÂaz. At the conclusion of that battle instead of executing the imperialist Mexican prisoners DÃÂaz released them after they signed a promise not to take up further arms against the Mexican republic. The text appeals to DÃÂaz's demonstrated sense of mercy and reads in part and in English translation: <br> <br> "We the members of the working class know well and have witnessed your energetic courage in the battlefields as an intrepid and worthy son of Mars but now also this time we do not demand but we beg to have the happiness and satisfaction to see and admire him as a hero of clemency for imprisoned journalists.and more so for his afflicted families who at this moment endure the crying and perhaps even the misery and fatal consequences of that prison in which the heads of those anguished families reside." The text also calls for clemency or pardons for a long list of political prisoners. The names of the prisoners held at Belén occupy the last column-and-a-half of the broadside. At the conclusion of the text there is a notice that indicates the petitioners have 4000 signatures in their favor for the demands made here. <br> <br> OCLC is silent on this broadside. It is at least an exceedingly rare if not a unique surviving example of the political tensions between President DÃÂaz and his political opponents and journalists in Mexico at the end of the 19th century and a powerful and important entry in the ever-present struggle for the freedom of the press.

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original wrappers. No bdg. Wear spine, dispersed pages. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm).

First and only edition of this exceedingly rare travel account of America by Dr. Mehmed Fuad [Umay], (1885-1963), who was a Turkish doctor and the founder of Himâye-i Etfâl [i.e. Society for the Protection of Orphans], a society that was established in 1921 to provide orphanages to children of the deceased soldiers in the Turkish War of Independence; began visiting many of the Turkish colonies in the US, giving lectures and raising a considerable amount of money for the establishment of these orphanages in Turkey. On 21 March 1923, Fuad Bey was granted permission from the Grand National Assembly of Turkey to go to the US in order to raise funds among the Ottoman immigrants for immediate war relief. Thus, for the first time, humanitarian action became an organized effort by fostering diaspora mobilization. Fuad Bey arrived in Ellis Island on 6 April 1923 on a ship named SS Aquitania and headed to the Ottoman Welfare Association at 35 Rivington Street. In the first meeting held by the Ottoman Welfare Association for the benefit of Turkish Orphan Society, Fuad Bey notes that a total of USD 17,500 was raised in just six hours. To those who donated over USD 1,000, a personally autographed picture of Mustafa Kemal was given by Fuad Bey. He visited the Turkish colonies in Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts and Rhode Island. He lectured about the Turkish War of Independence (1919-1922) and the success of the struggle, and many Turkish and Kurdish workers residing in these cities donated their life savings to support the construction of orphanages and the reconstruction of the entire country. Fuad's visit to Peabody, Massachusetts aroused exceptional excitement among the Turkish and Kurdish immigrants. It was the first chance for the Muslim Anatolian immigrants to manifest their national pride and attachment to the homeland. At the same time, their socioeconomic achievement was evidenced with the arrival of Fuad Bey in Peabody in an auto decorated with a large American flag and followed by a dozen autos filled with Turks, the machines decorated with American and Turkish flags.". A day before his arrival, the Turks refrained from work and "went around with badges in honor of his coming. Mehmed Fuad noted that there were around 600 Turks when he visited Peabody in 1923. Despite their small number, they had established Kizilay [i.e. Turkish Red Crescent] society. After being shown some of the tanneries in Peabody and Salem, Fuad gave an address to the Turks and Kurds at the Peabody Institute. The scene was described as: "All the Turks in town were present. They made a spectacle of the doctor's visit, many of them taking a day off. They wore badges in his honor and displayed in front of the Institute the American and Turkish flags. Great enthusiasm was shown. Baskets of roses were carried down the aisles and the flowers were bought at any price, bunches of money being put in the baskets. It was said that USD 8,000 was raised among the Turks of this city for Dr. Fuad Bey to take back with him.". Fuad Bey visited Peabody for a second time on 14 August 1925, as he came for the National Conference of Social Workers held in Denver, Colorado in June, 1925. When he arrived in Massachusetts, he was met by a delegation of Turkish people from [.]". (Source: Ottoman Immigrants and the Formation of Turkish Red Crescent Societies in the United States).

1791AMO-3515par Pierre Manuel, l'un des Administrateurs de 1789. Avec gravure et tableaux. A Paris, chez Garnery, libraire, à Strasbourg chez Treuttel, à Londres, chez de Boffe, l'an second de la liberté (1791) [de l'imprimerie de Fiévée, rue Serpente, n°17 - qui est aussi l'adresse du libraire Garnery]. 2 volumes in-8 (21,5 x 14 cm) brochés de 402-(3) et 330 (mal chiffrée 230)-(3) pages. Frontispice gravé. Tableaux dépliants. Couvertures d'époque de papier rose. Couverture usagée avec manques et en partie détachées, dos fendillés, non rogné. Quelques coins roulés en début et en fin des volumes. Intérieur frais. Complet. Édition originale. La plupart des catalogues (y compris le catalogue de la Bnf / Gallica et d'anciens catalogues de vente) ont confondu l'an second de la liberté (1791) avec l'an second de la République (1793). La Police de Paris dévoilée a paru à la fin du mois de juin 1791 (voir les Révolutions de Paris qui en informe ses lecteurs après la date du 22 juin). Louis Prudhomme écrit alors : "Cet ouvrage attestera à la postérité l'infamie des rois, et tout l'odieux d'un gouvernement pourri. Le seul règne et Louis XVI fournit une carrière de seize années de crimes et de lettres de cachet qui, presque toutes, ont eu pour objet la proscription de têtes innocentes. Tantôt ce sont d'honnêtes gens, [...], Pierre Manuel a eu besoin de tout son courage pour fouiller dans la sentine de la police, et en tirer des noms flétris, qui naguère étaient encore respectés. L'article de la police sur la librairie suffirait seul pour prouver à quel degré d'avilissement était tombé le gouvernement français. Au soin qu'on prenait pour enchaîner la presse, étouffer la voix de ceux qui avaient encore la force de se plaindre, on sent que le crime était sur le trône, et que le peuple avait la gorge sous le couteau des tyrans. Le plus léger soupçon suffisait pour exposer l'asile d'un imprimeur, d'un libraire, à être pillé par une brigade d'espions, de voleurs et de commissaires. [...]. La police des prêtres et des moines est un objet de scandale et de turpitudes, qui justifie pleinement la réforme du clergé [...]." Après avoir participé activement aux événements de juillet 1789, il devient membre de la municipalité provisoire de Paris, et « administrateur de la police, du département de la librairie, des spectacles et attributions accessoires » ; il intègre le club des Jacobins. En septembre 1791, il est élu procureur syndic de la municipalité de Paris, responsable de l’exécution des lois et arrêtés. Suspendu un temps par le directoire du département de Paris, il est défendu par la Législative qui lui rend sa place. Bras droit du maire Pétion, il l'accompagne de son action. Il est ainsi l'un des instigateurs de la journée du 20 juin 1792. Le 30 juillet, la Législative décrète la suppression de la Commune, mais, menacée d'une insurrection par Manuel, elle n'en fait rien. Il soutient toujours l'action de Pétion et des 47 sections lors des journées du 3 au 10 août 1792 comme membre de la commune insurrectionnelle. Le 13 août, il est nommé procureur syndic de la Commune de Paris et après en avoir fait proposition devant l'Assemblée, il escorte Louis XVI à la prison du Temple. Il est jusqu'à sa mort en fréquente relation avec le souverain déchu auquel il apprend en personne l'instauration de la République. Chargé par le conseil général de l'Assemblée d'assurer la tranquillité du Temple le 3 septembre, son rôle dans les massacres de Septembre est controversé. Certains témoignages l'accusent de laxisme, d'autres, comme celui de Pierre-Jean-Baptiste Nougaret, lui prêtent une complicité avec les massacreurs. Selon d'autres sources, peu avant les Massacres, il requiert la sortie des prisonniers pour dette ainsi que celle de Mme de Tourzel et de Jean-Jacques Duval d'Éprémesnil. Il se défend avec véhémence de toute responsabilité dans les événements, accuse la ville de Paris d'être complice, selon ses termes, de cette « Saint-Barthélémy des Français » et ses propos suscitent une dispute au club des Jacobins avec son collègue Jacques Alexis Thuriot. Élu à la Convention nationale, comme député de la Seine, il est nommé « commissaire chargé de rendre compte de l'état de la ville de Paris », puis suppléant au Comité d’instruction publique. Il obtient la suppression de la croix de Saint-Louis mais sa proposition de vente du château de Versailles est refusée. Son attitude envers le roi se modifie ouvertement dès le 7 novembre lorsque le député Mailhe présente un projet de décret sur le jugement du roi et les formes pour y procéder. Manuel propose que tout défenseur de Louis XVI soit sous la sauvegarde de la loi. Le 3 décembre, il donne son avis sur le sort de Louis XVI et le 6, il déclare à la Convention : « La Convention nationale ne peut commettre un assassinat. Je demande que Louis XVI soit entendu. » Ses interventions en faveur du roi font croire un moment qu’il est devenu fou. Le 15 décembre, il est exclu du Club des Jacobins. Un mois plus tard, en dépit de ses positions affichées, il vote la culpabilité du roi comme tous ses collègues. Le lendemain, il vote pour la ratification du jugement du peuple, le 17 janvier, pour la détention dans un fort ailleurs qu’à Paris, puis la déportation. Aussitôt que la peine de mort fut prononcée contre le roi Louis XVI, il quitta la salle et envoya sa démission par lettre. Les membres de la Montagne l’accusent en tant que secrétaire de séance, d’avoir tenté de falsifier les résultats de l’appel nominal. Il se retire à Montargis, où il est l'objet d'une tentative d'assassinat en mars 1793. Retiré de la vie politique, il se serait rendu selon Nougaret dans un château à Fontainebleau. Il est finalement arrêté le 20 août 1793 à Montargis où il se tenait caché. Transféré à Paris, à la prison de l'Abbaye. il comparaît devant le Tribunal révolutionnaire. Condamné à la peine de mort pour avoir voulu sauver le roi et coupable de conspiration contre la République, il est guillotiné le 24 brumaire an II (14 novembre 1793). Il était âgé de 42 ans. Il a été l'éditeur des Lettres originales de Mirabeau : écrites du donjon de Vincennes [à] Sophie Ruffey, marquise de Monnier (Paris, Garnery, 1792). Bon exemplaire conservé dans son brochage de l'époque de cet ouvrage passionnant.
