P6721Petrograd: Partiia Sotsialistov-Revolutsionerov 1921. Octavo 19 Ã 13.6 cm. Original staple-stitched printed self-wrappers; 18 1 pp. Tear to lower front corner else very good. Rare apparently unrecorded and illicitly published pamphlet most likely issued by the Central Bureau of the Party of Socialist Revolutionaries. The SR Party also issued a similar journal in Petrograd in 1920 or 1921. A report by<br/>the Soviet Secret Police notes that a large number of SR pamphlets were confiscated in July 1922. The publisher was likely the SR activist Leonid V. Rossel' 1896-1943 who fled to Finland after 1917; it is possible that the pamphlet itself was actually printed in Finland. The text is a furious indictment of the Bolsheviks' "war" on the Russian peasants and its perpetuation of famine warfare censorship destruction and terror and violence against its own people by the state police. A highly interesting document either produced clandestinely in Petrograd or smuggled there by activists. Not held by the Russian State or National Library.

1681001379Amsterdam: Apud Janssonio Waesbergios 1681. Full Calf. Very Good. 330 6 pp. 12mo with copper engraved title page by Giovanni Van Den Avele. Pharsalia is considered a masterpiece and possibly the masterpiece of the Silver Age of Ancient Roman poetry. The epic poem concerns the Roman Civil War at the time of Caesar and most particularly the extended struggle between Caesar and Pompey the Great. Lucanus writing a century later during the reign of Nero far from glamorizing the warfare took a jaundiced view of the fraticidal battle and his portrait of both Caesar and Pompey was far from flattering. His "epic poem" therefore is epic in terms of length scope and ambition not in its portrayal of the principals. Because of the subject matter the popularity of "Pharsalia" has crested at times when a society still steeped in the Classical canon of literature descended into civil strife when the themes and point-of-view of Lucanus really resonated. Never was this more the case than in the seventeenth century when this copy was printed. First there was the final emergence of the Netherlands from under the yoke of Habsburg rule and then there was the English Civil War just to mention two instances both highly germane to the edition at hand. Thus the notes by Grotius and Modern calf with a black spine label and marbled endpapers. The work is incomplete and breaks off during the tenth book which Lucanus was still working on when he was forced to commit suicide. The binding is tight. Some leaves with more toning than others but overall quite clean. There are leaves in which the margins are parlously tight or the header is even close to being partially cut-off -- this is the upshot of the compact size of the copy and was the way the copy was issued over three centuries ago. This particular edition is not mentioned in Brunet. <br/><br/> Apud Janssonio Waesbergios unknown books
P5946Petrograd: Izdanie Petrogradskogo komiteta partii sotsialistov-revoliutsionerov 1917. Octavo 20 Ã 14 cm. Original staple-stitched printed self-wrappers; 32 pp. Wrapper lightly chipped else about very good. Political Literacy for Post-Revolutionary Russia. Scarce brochure that seeks to educate a literate but not highly educated audience about the program of the Socialist Revolutionary Party SR breaking down basic principles of capitalist and socialist systems and proposing a program of action. The party won the Constituent Assembly election of 1917 November 25 1917 generally considered to be the first free Russian election taking about 40% of the popular vote. SR was the primary competitor of Russian Social Democratic Labor Party RSDLP the party of Lenin until its name was changed to the All-Russian Communist Party following the October Revolution of 1917. While the Bolshevik RSDLP won the majority of the vote in urban centers and from soldiers on the western front they lost the overall election to the SRs whose candidate list had been printed prior to the split between the left and right wings of the SRs with the left wing forming a coalition with the Bolsheviks. The Bolsheviks had hoped that this election would provide them the popular mandate to govern. Lenin criticized the Constituent Assembly saying that it failed to represent the Russian people because the ballot had not indicated the split between the SRs right wing and the pro-Bolshevik left. SRs held power for two weeks before the Bolsheviks disbanded the Assembly and gained the upper hand. As ideologically hostile literature as well as documentation of an alternative path of development after the February Revolution the publications of the Socialist-Revolutionaries were subject to destruction in the years after the October coup.

17437019Madrid: Gabriel Ramirez 1743. Fifth printing. Quarto title page ff 6 pp 245 2. First published in 1695 in Madrid and the same year in Mexico. The subtitle tells the contents: "Obra en que se muestra al confessor nuevo la practica de administrar con fruto el Sacramento de la penitencia." The work is a translation from the Italian of Fr. Segneri by Juan de Espinola Baeza de Echaburu but in actual fact according to Palau 305883/ 305885 this is a pseudonym for Fr. Jose Lopez de Echaburu SJ. Judging from the number of reprints it must have been a popular manual for priests to instruct them in this rite. Nice copy in the period vellum binding title inked on spine; original ties still present. <br/><br/> Gabriel Ramirez hardcover books

Twysden denied that the English church 'made a departure from the Church which is the ground and pillar of truth' p. 196.
