Fine Romanian Paperback. Demy 8vo. (22 x 15 cm). In Romanian and a small abstract in English. 300 p. Criza dinasticâ din România, (1925-1930).= The dynastic crisis in Romania, (1925-1930). The first signs of a serious institutional impasse, an event commonly referred to as the "Crisis of succession", may be applied between 1918-1919, when Prince Carol, the eldest son and heir of King Ferdinand - who was in love with Ioana (Zizi) Lambrino - was ready to give up his powers as a successor of the Romanian Crown. Although the question of the succession to the throne was governed with great efforts in 1881 by Ferdinand's appointment as successor to the Crown, the constitutional order of the country knows in the third decade of the last century, an unprecedented stalemate, a result of the Crown Prince Carol's decision to withdraw from the order of succession. Decision of the Council held in Sinaia, on December 31st, 1925, on the question of giving up the throne would lead to the convening of the two Houses of Parliament for January 4th, 1926. Patriarch Miron Cristea was to be involved in the major events that have ridden the Romanian political stage in 1925 and 1927, on the occasion of the so-called "dynastic crisis", as a witness and adviser, and then, with the establishment of the Regency, as a member of it, alongside Prince Nicolae, the younger son of King Ferdinand I and Gheorghe Buzdugan, the President of the High Court of Justice and Cassation.

In his lifetime, Harry was a rogue and a rake. Now he's a ghost--visible only to those in love. He roams the halls of Steadford Abbey, atoning for his romantic sins by helping others find romance.sometimes with the most unexpected--and charming--results. Giles Steadford has inherited the Abbey--and is about to see it for the first time. He arrives, having been wounded in battle, and creates instant chaos. Giles is put under the care of Elizabeth, a nurse who finds him as cantankerous a patient as she's ever had. Giles, in turn, is too jaded from war to appreciate her tender ministrations.

Biographie scandaleuse de l'âme damnée du régent, présentée comme provenant d'un manuscrit laissé par le secrétaire de Dubois. On attribuait au cardinal Dubois l'essentiel de son ascendant sur le Régent à sa capacité à lui trouver des maîtresses à son goût, d'où l'aphorisme rapporté par Roger Peyrefitte à propos de son élévation au cardinalat : "le pape est un fin cuisinier qui sait faire d'un maquereau un rouget". "Ouvrage spirituel, très curieux et peu commun" (Gay, III, 1351). Exemplaire enrichi d'un portrait gravé en frontispice.
