Avec quelques remarques sur la prétenduë refutation des recrits circulaires de la cour de Vienne. Par Monsieur A.C. .The Hague Gerard de Mee 1743.4 FLEURY Andre´ Hercule de subject. Extrait de l'oraison funèbre de feu Mr. le Cardinal de Fleury tel qu'on l'a reçu de Strasbourg avec les remarques tirées de l'entrétien de deux officiers François à leur retour de la Bohème chargés de misere & de maladie.Strasbourg no publisher 1743. 4 works in 1 volume. 8vo. Contemporary calf spine labels with title and shelfmark. Ad 1: One of two probably simultaneous issues of the rarer of the first two French editions all dated 1743 of a chronicle of the kings of England that covers the period 1066-1603 first published in English in 1740. Robert Dodsley 1703-64 was a poet playwright and bookseller. Other sources ascribe it to Lord Chesterfield. Dodsley could not have written a work showing so much wit and literary force DNB. The present French translation is attributed to Louis Charles Fougeret de Monbron.Ad 2: Letters from Calvin addressed to Jacques the Bourgogne and Yolande de Brederode written between 1543 and 1553. They offer a case study in the interaction of politics and personalities that shaped the European reform movement in general and the position of Calvin in connection with the worldly powers of Europe in particular. Jacques de Bourgogne who encountered evangelical ideas in Louvain married into one of Holland's most prominent protestant families was denounced as a heretic for receiving a Reformed preacher at his chateau in Brabant sought refuge in Cologne Strasbourg and Basel and finally settled with Calvin's help in a village near Geneva. De Bourgogne's odyssey is exemplary for the upheavals experienced by a generation that heeded the reformer's call preferring exile to renouncing their new faith under pressure in their native lands.Ad 3: Very rare first and only edition of an up-to-date account of the political situation at the courts of Europe in the 1740s. The goal of the author described only as A. C. and not identified is to achieve a stable peace in Europe and to guarantee the authority awarded in the Pragmatic Sanction of 1713. This was a legal mechanism designed to ensure that the Austrian throne and Habsburg lands would be inherited by Emperor Charles VI's daughter Maria Theresa. It was part of the law of the house of Austria. Hungary which had an elective kingship had accepted the house of Habsburg as hereditary kings in the male line without election in 1687 but had not accepted semi-Salic inheritance. The Emperor-King agreed that if the Habsburg male line became extinct Hungary would once again have an elective monarchy. The Kingdom of Bohemia also followed this rule. Ad 4: Extremely rare extract of the funeral oration for André-Hercule Cardinal de Fleury French Bishop of Fréjus 1653 - 29 January 1743 and cardinal who served as the chief minister to Louis XV. The additional remarks are abstracted from a conversation between two French officers on their return from the Bohemian campaign. Fleury found the nation poorly prepared when in 1733 war was forced upon France. Library bookplate on inside front cover. Binding worn some parts of the spine gone front hinge slightly cracked otherwise in good condition. unknown

Also see item #22355 where Ben Gurion reexamines a Bible story after discussion with the chairman of the World Jewish Bible Society. Partial Translation""Much Shalom!I would invite you to become a member of the council of the Bible House in Jerusalem. The proponents of the Bible House have given consideration to the fact that every spiritual idea for it to exist and exert influence needs a physical structure too a central home. The uniqueness of Jerusalem the city of the prophets and the capital of Israel makes it appropriate that a House be established in it to collect inside every commentary book and creation that has been thought of and created in Judaism through the generations regarding the Book of Books and every creation by the sages of the nations of the world that displays the influence of the Bible. The House with its book collections and educational exhibits will serve as a place of study for the lovers of Torah the youth and adults who will come to it in order to increase their knowledge of the Book of Books and its interpretations. The House will also serve as a gravitational center for residents of this country when they go up to Jerusalem and to tourists from the Diaspora who will be able to absorb in it the spirit of the Book of Books. More details about the House's content and its purpose can be found in the attached brochure which contains things said during the ground breaking ceremony.The initiating committee hopes you will agree to lend a helping hand to the establishment of this cultural center in Jerusalem. We await your reply.BlessingsD. Ben-Gurion SignatureD. Ben GurionPresident of the Israel Society for Biblical Research""Historical Background Building a permanent home for the Israeli Center for Biblical Research was one of Ben-Gurion's favorite projects. He envisioned a compound overlooking Jerusalem and the Mount of Olives with a research library exhibit and museum space and educational facilities. Intended for the study of the Hebrew Bible the research center would be the headquarters for the World Jewish Bible Society. Ground was broken on October 18 1970 but the building was never completed.David Ben-Gurion Israeli politician; proclaimed Israeli independence in 1948 becoming the new independent nation's first Prime Minister after years as the head of the Zionist movement; changed his name from Gryn to Ben-Gurion ""Son of the Lion Cub.""

Modern paneled dark brown calf raised bands gilt spine labels with earlier gilding to all edges. Engraved portrait of Jonson engraved by Elder after Vaughn. Portrait and title a bit foxed inky marginal smear to E31r; some old spotting to C2-4 3A4 and 4C4-4D4; 3C1-2 on inferior paper and tanned as usual; top edge of 3Y3 shows a bit of slight fraying; other occasional marginal smudges dusting or trivial spotting; otherwise generally a very good crisp copy. Third and last folio edition but the first in one volume adding "The New Inn" and "Leges Convivales" which were not included in the collected editions of 1616 and 1640. The characteristic poor paper and tanning of 3C1-2 often extend to 2Z2-3 which are here relatively unblemished. The final two leaves are turned over to the "Leges Convivales" with its own title and imprint. This copy although in a modern binding measures somewhat larger than the Hagen-Pforzheimer copy which is noted as in original calf. ESTC R15282. PFORZHEIMER 561.

6457Shahn Ben. Shahn Ben. WARNING - INFLATION MEANS DEPRESSION. P.156. Poster photo-offset in colors 1946. 41 1/8 x 27 3/4 inches. Edition size is unknown. Published by the Political Action Committee of the CIO. Signature printed within the image. Folded as issued else in excellent condition and attractively framed. "The antecedent work of this poster is a 1943 tempera 1943 A.D. According to Bernarda Shahn her husband did the painting during his stay in the Office of War Information basing his work on a photograph he had taken in the thirties while traveling in the hills of Arkansas. The photograph was of a farmer whose seeming integrity and strength greatly impressed Shahn. Engaging his subject in coversation Shahn found out that the farmer estimated the value of his crop at one dollar and fifty cents. The farmer in the meantime had sent out his two boys with a shotgun and two shells to hunt for their dinner. Before long they returned with two squirrels. In the poster the blue-shirted worker chin in hand seems fearful and confused. The appealingly simple proposition "a equals b therefore do c" was presented by Shahn as "Inflation Equals Depression therefore Register and Vote." However the image of this troubled man lingers with the viewer and takes on a meaning far beyond the intent of the poster message. His facial expression suggests even deeper anxieties which may be expalined that the painted image originated during a perion of Shahn's life when the cruelties of the Second World War were foremost in his mind."

Featuring some of Beardsley's last completed illustrations First Beardsley edition deluxe issue number 79 of 100 copies printed on japon paper specially bound in full vellum and featuring an extra suite of five plates with larger versions of Beardsley's vignettes. In November 1897 Beardsley was commissioned to produce 24 illustrations for this edition of Jonson's Volpone including a frontispiece decorative initials and a front cover design. In the event he could only complete the cover design the frontispiece and six vignettes before his death on 16 March 1898. This was however a project that Beardsley was passionate about writing "I am making pictures of Ben Jonson's adorable and astonishing Volpone" and "I carry Volpone about with me from dawn to dawn and dream of nothing else". He considered his illustration for the frontispiece "Volpone Adoring His Treasure" as "one of the strongest things I have ever done" cited in Nelson p. 163. Large quarto. Printed cover design frontispiece and 6 vignettes by Beardsley 5 of the vignettes reproduced in large size in photogravure title printed in red and black.
