PARIS, Imp. Garnery/ Warée/ Alphonse Garnery - 1817 - Avertissement & Table VI et 604 pages - In-8 - Reliure demi-veau havane, dos lisse orné - Pièce de titre noire, Titre doré - toutes tranches jaunes - Ex. très propre "Il n'existe pas dans le nouveau droit, ni-même dans l'ancien, d'auteur qui ait mieux traité que M. Pardessus la matière des servitudes" (Dupin n 1410); "ouvrage d'une érudition remarquable" (F. Laferrière, Histoire du droit français, T. 2 p. 398). Selon Laferrière, Pardessus est le premier auteur à avoir, au début du XIXème siècle, donné une impulsion à la doctrine, jusque là en retrait, à la suite du grand mouvement de codification napoléonien. L'ouvrage contient en outre d'intéressants développements sur les servitudes d'utilité publique.

Very good. Untrimmed and unopened. In a cardboard chemise and slipcase. Official French printing of the Treaty of Versailles a document of monumental importance in American and world history. The treaty made with Germany at the end of the First World War concluded a war of unrivalled devastation while sowing the seeds for the Second World War just twenty years on the horizon. The United States guided by Woodrow Wilson's vision played a central role in the crafting of the treaty. The U.S. Senate refused to ratify the treaty however based on the objection of several senators to the Covenant of the League of Nations which was included as Part I of the settlement thereby largely removing American influence and involvement from the international scene in the inter-war period. <br> <br> The Treaty of Versailles was a wide-ranging and ambitious document which sought not only to address the immediate postwar settlement but to punish Germany for its actions in starting and prosecuting the war attempted to remake the map of Europe and created a supra-national political organization the League of Nations. The Covenant of the League of Nations comprises the first part of the treaty. The next most famous part is that dealing with reparations which includes Article 231 the infamous "war guilt clause." By this article Germany accepted the responsibility of her and her allies "for causing all the loss and damage to which the Allied and Associated Governments and their nationals have been subjected as a consequence of the war imposed upon them by the aggression of Germany and her allies." The intent of the article was to affix legal and financial responsibility on Germany but it took on moral implications and was used by Hitler during his rise as an example of Allied perniciousness. Germany had to agree to pay reparations to the allies in the sum of 20000000000 gold marks the amount to be modified by a reparations commission in 1921. Germany also had to recognize the independence of Austria and agree not to compromise that independence in the future. Germany's borders were redrawn with Alsace- Lorraine being given to France West Prussia to Poland and other lands such as Danzig and the Saar Basin stripped away. She lost her overseas possessions the Rhineland was occupied and the German army was limited to one hundred thousand men and largely disarmed. Other provisions address issues of tariffs ports labor aerial navigation prisoners of war and more. <br> <br> As has been noted the many punitive measures of the Treaty of Versailles did much to fan the seeds of discontent in post-war Germany and to facilitate the rise of Hitler who publicly flaunted the provisions of the treaty throughout the 1930s. The refusal of the United States to ratify the treaty and participate in the League of Nations was a crucial part in the chain of events that led to the Second World War. A most important document here in an official French printing with the Protocol as a separate signature at the end. unknown books

1919190322London: His Majesty's Stationery Office 1919. Presented by one of the architects of the Treaty First edition presentation copy inscribed warmly on a preliminary blank by David Lloyd George: "For the Henry Richard Library from one of his admiring countrymen D. Lloyd George July 26th 1927". The Henry Richard Library of the Peace Society was named after its long-serving secretary the Welsh MP of that name. "Certainly Lloyd George had his full share of responsibility for the harsher features of the treaty. He took a strongly nationalist position on issues deemed to be affecting Britain's national security or other interests Yet Lloyd George was also the most flexible of the peacemakers sometimes taking an intermediate line between the nationalism of Clemenceau and the sometimes high-flown generalities of Woodrow Wilson Lloyd George fiercely though unavailingly condemned decisions such as the so-called Polish corridor the Saarland or placing the Sudeten Germans under the regime of the new hybrid Czechoslovakia He urged the dangers of creating a sense of mass grievance at a time when Russia and perhaps Europe were gripped by 'the spirit of revolution' as he put it On his return Lloyd George hailed a peace with honour Nevertheless both in terms of frontier settlements and of reparations the Versailles treaty appeared harsh and vindictive to many observers" ODNB. Most controversially the treaty enshrined the concept of German "War Guilt". Article 231 printed here stipulated that "Germany accepts the responsibility of Germany and her allies for causing all the loss and damage to which the Allied and Associated Governments and their nationals have been subjected as a consequence of the war imposed upon them by the aggression of Germany and her allies". This clause and its associated reparations led John Maynard Keynes to declare the treaty a "Carthaginian Peace". In 1923 Lloyd George published The Truth about Reparations and War-Debts and in 1938 one of his two "massive works of reminiscence" ODNB The Truth About the Peace Treaties. At the time of presentation the secretary of the Henry Richard Library was another Welshman Herbert Dunnico 1875-1953 Labour MP knighted in 1938 with whom Lloyd George conducted a lengthy correspondence. One of Dunnico's initiatives was the launch of the Peace Negotiations Committee in March 1916 "which met regularly organized meetings and promoted a petition that attracted hundreds of thousands of signatures. Dunnico addressed hundreds of meetings in the final years of the war and following a speech at Aberdare in January 1918 was summoned under the Defence of the Realm Act charged with attempting to cause disaffection among the civilian population though the case was dropped" ODNB.
