2 ouvrages reliés en un volume in-8, plein vélin de l'époque à petits rabats, lanières de cuir conservées. Edition originale de ces deux ouvrages, réfutation des théories exposées par Pierre Du Moulin, pasteur de Charenton, dans 'Les eaux de Siloé pour éteindre le Purgatoire...' (1603) où il niait l'existence du purgatoire. La première réfutation est due à un franciscain portugais, Suarez, confesseur de Henri IV et Évêque de Séez, qui rencontra Du Moulin. Les titres témoignent de la passion qui animait les auteurs et de la violence de cette controverse. (Caillet, 10418 pour le premier. Desgraves, 'Ouvrages de controverse entre catholiques et protestants', n°543 et 503. Pannier, 'L'Eglise réformée de Paris sous Henri IV', p.215 et p. 237). Ex-libris anciens et côtes de société de franc-maçonnerie (petit cachet). Bel exemplaire, très frais, dans sa reliure d'origine.

Fascinating piece of depression-era Canadian monetary-reform ephemera. This 5.8" x 4.3" double-sided slip provides a backside application form to join the Free Economy League of Canada. The front side features a suggested sample of a Gesell Scientific Currency Note entitled "United Provinces of Canada Currency Note". The "One Dollar" note includes twelve boxes, representing each month in 1936. With the passing of each month this note was declared to be subject to a 1% demurrage stamp charge. Presumably the motivation behind such an instrument was to encourage spending during the depths of the Great Depression, just as negative interest rates of more recent times have similarly been aimed. Clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear. Impress your friends with this incredible shrinking currency! Book
456p. + Portrait Frontis and original full page photographs. Top edge gold. Very XLib. [Ownerships obscured by black magic marker]. 12mo. Quarter red leather over marbled boards. Gilt lettered spine. Raised bands. Spine slightly marred. Hardbound. William 'Just Plain Bill' Sulzer (1863-1941) was a U.S. Congressional Representative from New York between 1895 and 1912. With the backing of Tammany Hall, he became the Governor of New York on January 1, 1913. He soon annoyed Tammany's leader 'Boss' Charles F. Murphy by refusing to accept his guidance on appointments and nominations, ordering investigations of corruption in state agencies, and other similar actions. Tammany politicians brought false charges against him for diverting some campaign contributions to his own use and, with a legislative majority, they made the charges stick. He was impeached and removed from office on October 13, 1913. With Reformers like Thomas leading the fight, he was essentially vindicated, being elected to the New York State Assembly less than a month later. Thomas was deeply involved in Reform Politics, and was the Commonwealth Land candidate for Justice of New York Supreme Court 1st District in 1924. AMERICANA BOX 11
