Very Good French Original leaflet on a folded bifolium. Size: 20 x 16 cm; open size: 20 x 32 cm. In French. [3] p. Slight foxing and stains on paper, some chippings on folded traces and extremities. Overall a good copy. This extremely rare proclamation on the Patrona Halil Rebellion and the fire following the rebellion in 1730 within the Ottoman Empire, written to those living in France, especially Paris residents, was approved by Herault on 21 November 1730. The Patrona Halil Rebellion was a social uprising within the Ottoman Empire, which ended the so-called Tulip period and catapulted Sultan Mahmud I to the throne. The rule of this Sultan and the time until the 1760s was the last period of stability for the Ottoman Empire, as evidenced by the Belgrade Peace Treaty. The Ottoman Empire did not participate in the Seven Years' War, but the defeat in the Russo-Turkish War (1768-1774) destabilized it so that it could never again regain its previous stability. This printed rare leaflet details how this revolt started, and what its causes and consequences were. It is stated that the number of people who participated in this revolt, which was aggravated with the Janissaries not getting their salaries for an extended period of time, reached 100,000, the grand vizier and his grooms were strangled, and many people including officials and civilians died during the events. It is also stated that the news about the events in Istanbul was confirmed by Prince Alexander of Wirttemberg, who came from Vienna to Belgrade. Only one copy is located in Bibliotheque Nationale de France in OCLC: 460213436.

LYON, François Guillot/PARIS, Dantu - 1831 - In-8 - Broché - Frontispice-gravure en taille douce dépliant représentant la barrière de la Croix-rousse - Gravure dépliante en taille douce in-fine représentant le combat du Pont Morand - 48 pages - Rare "Le 20 novembre 1831 l’association mutuelle des chefs d’atelier de soierie décide la grève générale pour obliger les fabricants à respecter le tarif de façon réclamé pacifiquement par les tisseurs et fixé en commun sous l’égide du maire et du préfet trois semaines plus tôt. Ils se heurtent à la garde nationale bourgeoise et à l’armée. Après deux jours de combats ils occupent l’hôtel de ville, mais leurs divisions permettent au préfet de rétablir son autorité dès le 24. Le bilan est lourd ; près de 200 morts, deux fois plus de blessés, civils et militaires ; abolition du tarif et interdiction des associations au nom du libéralisme. Toutefois la plupart des inculpés seront acquittés, eu égard aux difficultés économiques. Le 9 avril 1834, pendant le procès de tisseurs accusés de coalition et de grève, des coups de feu tirés sur la foule déclenchent une semaine de combats encore plus meurtriers : plus de 300 morts, près de 600 blessés. On se bat pour la république autant que pour la liberté d’association(D’autres villes se soulèvent). Voir la lithographie de Daumier Rue Transnonain, le 15 avril 1834). La répression est brutale : condamnations à la prison, à la déportation ; rétablissement de la censure. Sans association ni journaux, la contestation semble écrasée. Une amnistie sera accordée en 1837".Hélène DELPECH
48 pages. Follow-up work to "The Workingman's Revolt: The Vancouver Asiatic Exclusion Rally of 1907." "... Jarvis has dug into the historical record, and gone to the original sources... and discovered that things were not as we had been told. The eventual decision by waffling federal authorities to expel the 'Komogata Maru' was a reluctant bow to overwhelming public opinion, that was firmly opposed to changing B.C.'s population." - from introduction. Some black and white ilustrations. Above-average wear. Unmarked. A worthy reference copy. Book
56 pages including footnotes and advertisements. Includes several pertinent cartoons from Vancouver newspapers of the early 1900s. "In the course of preliminary research (of the Komagata Maru incident in 1914) I discovered a true Canadian hero, William Hopkinson, an immigration inspector in Vancouver, who conducted undercover operations among Indian immigrants. It was his intelligence briefings and advice that helped stiffen the backbone of the government in dealing with the shipload of illegals. In preparation for C-FAR's rally in Vancouver to commemorate the 75th anniversary of Hopkinson's assassination by a Sikh extremist, I asked Robert Jarvis to research the Vancouver archives on Hopkinson and the events surrounding the Komagata Maru. His investigations let to this booklet. He quickly found that the strong opposition - by politicians and labour - to the Komagata Maru could be traced back to the activitiess of the Asiatic Exclusion Leage, formed some eight years before. What Mr. Jarvis has found is a long ignored and misreported chapter in Canadian history." - Paul Fromm, from Introduction. Unmarked. Light wear. Nice copy. Book
