1955441j1375London: Victor Gollancz Ltd. 1955. First British Edition. Hardcover. "The authors were convinced that the decision to withhold from Dr. Oppenheimer one of America's most distinguished scientists the security clearance which would enable him to continue as chief adviser to the Government on scientific matters was a miscarriage of justice as unworthy of the fine traditions of the American past as the trial of Captain Dreyfus was unworthy of France. They contend that the parties to certain high-level disputes wanted Oppenheimer removed from his position of influence in these disputes. Includes a scrupulous analysis of the proceedings." - dust jacket. "J. Robert Oppenheimer 1904-1967 was an American theoretical physicist.

"The simple statement that there are in the United States to-day an aggregation of over 440 large industrial franchise and transportation Trusts of an important and active character with a total floating capital of over $20 billion as disclosed in the following pages is suggicient evidence in itself of a necessity for a work such as this which it is believed will throw at least a partial light on the momentous and steadily growing Trust movement. In this book a serious attempt is made in a broad and general way to turn on the light and exhibit to the public view not merely one phase nor one side but the entire phenomena which goes under the general name of the Trust Movement. xxii 514 x ads p.

Author was "the man upon whom fell the brunt of piloting Germany through the financial dangers of 1923 to 1929. It was the historic German financial collapse of 1923 that first brought Dr. Schacht into prominence. In November of that year he was made the Imperial Currency Commissioner with the specific purpose of stemming the nation's hyperinflation. This book is one of the best contributions yet made to an understanding of post-War difficulties in finance and economics.

First edition of this scarce book which, although suggesting to be an account of a voyage to South America, is actually a work of fiction. Durret himself claims that it was based on an account by the "Sieur Bachelier" to which he only added notes and of which improved the style. This however is not correct, the work is by Durret. "Chapter 17 of the first part and chapter 19 contain descriptions of Santa Catharina and Brazil in general. The letter is signed "Durret," but the account is by Bachelier, a surgeon. Father Labat believes this was an imaginary voyage" (Borba de Moreas, i, p. 281)."Récit, selon Barbier, plein de bévues et de contradictions, car D. l'aurait fait sans sortir de chez lui. Détails sur les moeurs, et sur les coutumes nuptiales de Malte, du Maroc, des Canaries, du Brézil, du Chili, du Pérou, de Madagascar, etc." (INED 1678.)"Contains useful information on the products of the South American coast" (James Ford Bell Library). - Title page cut short at foot and outer margin.

Terza edizione, l’ultima del Cinquecento. Restauri al frontespizio e alle prime carte, bruniture leggere, nel complesso un esemplare più che buono. Gustosissima opera satirica sulla spilorceria, che contiene gli statuti e i precetti dell’immaginaria accademia fiorentina «Compagnia della Lesina», i cui membri sono dediti al risparmio assoluto. Vengono elencati bizzarri accorgimenti per fare economia su ogni aspetto della vita quotidiana, dall’abbigliamento al cibo, alla gestione del denaro. Si deve a quest’opera l’ingresso nel lessico italiano del termine “lesinare”, derivante appunto da «lesina»: «Il significato figurato [di lesina] deriva forse da un libro burlesco del sec. 16°, “Della famosissima Compagnia della Lesina”, in cui si raccontava di una compagnia di avari che aveva come simbolo una lesina, per l’abitudine, tra le altre spilorcerie, di ripararsi le scarpe da sé» (Vocabolario Treccani, s.v. lesina).
