These "disloyal segregees" were sent to Tule Lake where they suffered ostracization from fellow internees poorer living conditions inferior food and harsher treatment from American military guards among other indignities. There were even disagreements among the segregated internees as some of them truly wished for repatriation to Japan and identified as Japanese while others viewed this group as disloyal and undeserving of assistance or relief. In other words not only were these internees seen as disloyal by their own government but also by some of their fellow internees. Their feeling of dislocation ran deep. Eventually many of these segregees sought to renounce their American citizenship and repatriate to Japan. The present forms were many internees' first step in this process. November unknown

"Ce pays inconnu des terriens est la Lune et l’inversion du point de vue « au clair de terre » permet de réduire certaines certitudes à l’état de préjugés ou réciproquement de fournir une justification de plusieurs préjugés. Un chapitre est consacré aux « causes de tant de lois bizarres, de coutumes singulières, d’usages extravagants ou barbares ». C’est un véritable cabinet de curiosités anthropologiques que le lecteur est invité à visiter. Il découvre des peuples qui pratiquent les sacrifices humains, des enfants qui dévorent leurs parents, des veuves qui se font brûler avec leur époux, des hommes qui mettent les femmes en commun, des femmes qui se prostituent au temple de Vénus... Les cas de superstitions qui seront discutés par Rétif et Nodier sont ici replacés dans une perspective anthropologique plus large qui relativise les us et coutumes à travers le monde et du même coup la frontière entre préjugé et raison. (in, Réhabilitation des préjugés et crise des Lumières, Michel Delon, p. 143-156. Revue Germanique internationale, 1995, La crise des Lumières.) "Edition originale de cette utopie lunaire. L'auteur, musicographe et auteur d'un opéra comique, fait l'éloge, dans son "Epître à moi-même" en début du vol. 1, de l'amour-propre comme facteur de perfectionnement moral." (Querard II, 791). Cet ouvrage a parfois été attribué à Thiphaigne de la Roche. Jost de Villeneuve est peu connu. On sait qu'il fut directeur des finances de la Toscane (notice Bnf), et auteur dramatique On lui doit notammen Zéphir et Fleurette, opéra-comique, ballet par Messieurs de Villeneuve et L. [Laujon.] (1750). Le Voyageur philosophe est son principal ouvrage. "Cette odyssée philosophique est un songe au bout duquel le voyageur se retrouve au bas de son lit. Le pays du rêve, celui des Sélénites (habitants de la lune), permet la comparaison de l'état social et de l'état naturel : dans l'absence du mien et du tien, il n'y a pas de vice, pas de crime, pas de crainte de la mort. A Sélénopolis, les sciences ont fait de grands progrès. C'est le siècle des Lumières parfaitement réalisé." (A. Soboul, Utopies au siècle des Lumières, Hachette, n°034/5).

Ce tirage est dénommé "papier royal" dans le catalogue des livres qui se trouvent chez le libraire Neaulme en 1762. Bon exemplaire, en grand papier conservé non rogné, de ce chef d'œuvre utopique du XVIIIe siècle.

Contemporary ownership inscriptions on front free endpaper and titlepage. Light foxing. Very good. The scarce official printing of the collected laws passed by the Fifth United States Congress which include the notorious Alien and Sedition Acts passed in 1798. "There are three Alien acts which grew directly out of the XYZ Affair and the failure of the embassy to France. Debate began in April 1798 as the story was reported to Congress. The first bill the Naturalization Act was signed into law on June 18 1798. It increased the residency requirement for American citizenship from five to fourteen years and created other hurdles to citizenship the majority of emigrants were supporters of the Jeffersonian Republicans. The second the Alien Friends Act was passed on June 25. It allowed the President to imprison or deport aliens considered 'dangerous to the peace and safety of the United States.' On July 6 the Alien Enemies Act passed authorizing the President to imprison or deport any male whether an alien or American citizen related to an enemy nation in times of war. The first two acts expired in March 1801 at the end of the Adams presidency but the Alien Enemies Act is still in effect and was the basis for the confinement of Japanese and German ethnic groups during World War II. Its use has been raised as a possibility in modern times. <br> <br> "Far more important to domestic politics of the era was the Sedition Act passed on July 14 1798. This made it a crime if 'any person shall write print utter or publish or shall cause or procure to be written printed uttered or published.any false scandalous and malicious writing or writings against the government of the United States or either house of Congress of the United States or the President of the United States.to bring them or either of them into contempt or disrepute.' A number of individuals were prosecuted under the Sedition Act notably Representative Matthew Lyon the aggressive Congressman from Vermont; the political writer James Callender; and some ordinary citizens. The majority prosecuted were Republican newspaper editors such as Benjamin Franklin Bache. The Sedition Act provoked an angry reaction from many and contributed to the Federalist collapse at the polls in the 1800 election. It expired at the end of 1800 and Jefferson pardoned those still imprisoned under it when he took office in March 1801" - Reese. <br> <br> Several printers in different cities took up the publication of the laws of the Fifth Congress. Richard Folwell one of the printers in Philadelphia printed the acts of each session as it finished from 1797 to 1799 and then an omnibus edition in 1799 the present work. This edition is quite scarce and is not in Evans or Bristol.
