Flexible faux leather binding. Signed by Du Pont. This is essentially a promotion for a stock purchase / investment plan. Aside from pushing the firm itself, certain companies are especially touted: The Texas Company (Texaco); White Motors (Cars and Trucks); Philadelphia Company (Gas & Electric); Southern Pacific (Railroad); Stewart-Warner (Speedometers). They also push: General Motors; Lee Tires; Middle State Oil; Pennsylvania Railroad; and Pond Creek Coal. Surely this portfolio made money (at least up until the crash of 1929). A cool artifact of the pre-crash investment era. ECON 1 / 3

New English Paperback. Demy 8vo. (21 x 14 cm). In English. 376 p. From the middle of the nineteenth century, Ottoman scholars played a crucial role in educating society and shaping Muslim identity at the tip of Southern Africa. Scholars such as Abu Bakr Effendi, Mahmud Fakih Emin Effendi and Ottoman Consul-Generals Ohannes Majakyan Effendi, Mehmet Remzi Bey strengthened the relationship between the Ottoman Empire and South Africa, as far as Mauritius Island. The Noor'ul Osmaniya Mosque, Ottoman Cricket Club, Noor'ul Hamidiyya Mosque in Cape Town and many Ottoman graves in South Africa are evidence of the Ottoman presence and traces in the region. Ottoman emissaries and Muslim theologians left a siginficant cultural legacy in Southern Africa. This cultural and Islamic legacy has yet to be woven into South African historiography. This study seeks to contribute the field in the light of archival sources from the Ottoman State Archives and National Archives of South Africa.

[= Women and slavery in the late Ottoman Empire]. Translated by Ebru Kiliç. Turkish Eition of Zilfi's 'Women and slavery in the late Ottoman Empire'. Madeline C. Zilfi's latest book examines gender politics through slavery and social regulation in the Ottoman Empire. In a challenge to prevailing notions, her research shows that throughout the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries female slavery was not only central to Ottoman practice, but a critical component of imperial governance and elite social reproduction. As Zilfi illustrates through her graphic accounts of the humiliations and sufferings endured by these women at the hands of their owners, Ottoman slavery was often as cruel as its Western counterpart. The book focuses on the experience of slavery in the Ottoman capital of Istanbul, also using comparative data from Egypt and North Africa to illustrate the regional diversity and local dynamics that were the hallmarks of slavery in the Middle East during the early modern era. This is an articulate and informed account that sets more general debates on women and slavery in the Ottoman context.

"Le port de Calais (...) va être incessamment sans port et sans navigation; cette clef de la France va cesser d'être une ville maritime, cette rade si utile et qu'on pourrait à peu de frais rendre un port asssuré aux vaisseaux du Roi dans la Manche, va être anéantie sans retour si votre vigilance & votre sagesse ne se hâtent d'y pourvoir. (...) Cependant, ne consultant qu'un intérêt sordide & particulier, méprisant ou mettant à l'écart le bien public & celui de l'Etat et du commerce, un sieur Mouron, marchand à Calais et sa compagnie, ont fait enclorre, depuis cinq à six ans, une plage considérable appelée Saline, située au bout du canal du port de Calais situé à l'ouest, proche le fort Nieulai, (...), laquelle enclôture a occasionné à l'entrée du port nombre d'écueils, a diminué la profondeur du chenail & du port, & il va se boucher insensiblement sans retour, de façon que le plus petit navire ne pourra plus y entrer".
