43450Paris: Albin Michel 1929. 1st edition. Original color-printed paper wrappers with later lamination 12mo 241 pages. 19cm. In French. Title translates as: "Kosher: Jewish Cuisine Modern Ghettos." Book was later re-issued under the less controversial title "The Jews of Poland; Recollections and Recipes."<br> <br> Rebecca Miller discussed the book at length in the Jewish Forward in 2013:<br> <br> "De Pomiane 1875-1964 a physician was also one of the most famous chefs and cookery writers of his day. Born Eduard Pozerski he was born into the Polish aristocracy brought up poor but refined. Both his parents were Polish patriots who fought against Russian domination of their homeland; his mother fled to France with the young Eduard when his father was deported to Siberia for insurrection against the Russians. Coming of age within the close-knit community of Polish exiles in Paris he was sympathetic to liberal causes and was a proponent of the Dreyfus cause.<br> His ethnographic book about Polish Jewish culture and cooking written in 1928 was originally entitled 'Cuisine Juive; Ghetto Modernes' 'Jewish Cooking; Modern Ghettos'. It is perhaps the weirdest book I have ever read. A tantalizingly vague recipe for Carpe a la Juive 'Take a large live carp. Kill it.' follows a horrifying description of a pogrom relayed to de Pomiane by a museum guide who had survived the massacre by hiding under a heap of hay in which his sister suffocated overnight: 'A corpse belly ripped open lay with its guts wrapped around its neck.A child wandered aimlessly haggard mute crazed its body beaten to a pulp.'<br> In de Pomiane's writing appreciative paragraphs about the accomplishment of certain refined Jews rub shoulders with unwittingly racist pseudo-science. 'I observed as a biologist.wrote as a scientist' claims de Pomiane as he cheerfully divides all male Jews into three types:<br> 'The dark-haired Jew with a long beard and a delicate aquiline nose. His lips are often thin his ears lie flat against his head. His eyes are deep almost mystical. He is less excitable than the others. It could be said that he belongs to an ethnic aristocracy. He has an Egyptian profile.'<br> 'This type is also dark-haired and much more common. His beard is black shorter his eyes are bulging and bloodshot his nose is squat his lips are thick and very red.This is the excitable Jewish type. When he laughs he sniggers. The face overall has a cruel and bestial appearance. Certainly this type of Jew would frighten a child in France even if that child were himself Jewish.'<br> 'A third and rarer type is completely red-headed. The beard is shorter and divided in two. He has the same negroid facial characteristics as the preceding type. The lips look even thicker and frame the teeth with two red borders of equal size. Although they are red the peyes look brown from being rolled twisted and curled between fingers that are constantly being licked.'<br> Having provided us with this helpful diagram of Jewish types he takes us on a tour of Jewish Poland beginning with Kazimierz the Jewish Ghetto in Crakow since the Middle Ages:<br> The whole place seems fairly and in some places extremely poverty-stricken. The more so since the population is dirty and strange. In Kazimierz everyone dresses in black everyone rushes about in a hurry they all bustle about irritably pushing shouting arguing. One would think the whole city was in the grip of some nervous disease.<br> De Pomiane believes that these poor nervous Jews give us a sense of what the tribes of Israel must have been like 'these people who when settled among us became the educated and refined individuals with whom we are familiar.' So De Pomiane argues the less 'Jew-y' the Jews are the more European the more refined they are-and hence it seems equal to non-Jews. <br> Unfortunately in only a few years there was no refinement that could save a Jew in Poland or indeed France: being Jewish was considered a racial fact not a cultural subtlety. But de Pomiane's distinctions are fascinating because they are being spouted by a man who was actually sympathetic to Jewish culture.<br> De Pomiane's observations are strikingly detailed. Describing the typical kaftan he states 'they wear a long black cloth gown which descends to their feet. It is not waisted like an overcoat but is slightly fuller. Two rows of buttons secure it over the chest. This kaftan is quite high-necked.'<br> And then he describes a head-covering that can be found in contemporary Williamsburg: 'Older Jews wear black hats of brushed felt. These head-coverings are worn very far forward a little over the eyes because on the crown of the head under the hat they wear a little black scull-cap.'<br> He speaks of prostitution: 'Just as in the Orient one sees in the streets of Cracow and Warsaw Jews attempting to draw in the passerby to admire a supposed daughter or niece.'<br> And the book is not short of anecdotes: a friend of de Pomiane's was tempted by an old man who spoke of a girl 'as beautiful and fresh as a mountain stream.' Tantalized he followed the old man into an ancient house and through a rather dark and very smelly courtyard. 'The Jew opened a door; my friend entered a room which was quite clean and saw a young girl in profile.' She was a perfect beauty. Then she turned to face him and he saw that one of her eyes had been gouged out. When he left in a panic the old man cried 'It wasn't for an eye that you followed me here!'<br> De Pomiane takes us to a stylish health resort called Zakopane. There de Pomiane finds a lot of rich Jews. 'What is so surprising' he asks. 'They alone.engage in trade. They alone are rich and they alone can afford to vacation in Zakopane.'<br> Spending time with these wealthy assimilated Jews Pomiane is amazed at their patriotism. A doctor he met 'defended both Zakopane and the whole of Poland.he was a proud Polish nationalist. There are men like these among Jewish intellectuals who have achieved a certain status in life. having left the kaftan and the ghetto behind.they have almost forgotten Yiddish replacing it with very good German. They call themselves Polish.'<br> De Pomiane the ethnographer paints a fascinating portrait of a class divide amongst the assimilated versus the unassimilated Jews:<br> Try and imagine a Jew in his worn shiny discolored kaftan with his beard and side-locks on his temples. Imagine him strolling down the Avenue Henri-Martin in Paris which is inhabited almost exclusively by wealthy French Jews. Would he be welcomed as a compatriot by those elegant ladies getting out of their automobiles whose children speak English to their nannies Definitely not. These 'Israelites' a term favored at the time by assimilated Jews as more politically correct than 'Jew' avoid the Polish Jew whom they have dubbed 'Polak'.<br> The book encapsulates contradictions and subtleties within the Polish Jewish population between the wars but also within the writer himself a Polish Francophile exile who loved food and had an abiding interest in Jewish cuisine. Beef Bouillon with Sauerkraut Chicken Soup with Almonds Goose Soup with Barley Carp a la Juive-these recipes and many more are all lovingly preserved for the curious gourmand in this most curious of books."<br> <br> OCLC: 1323307672.

Maria Elizabetha Jacson 1755 – 1829 was a botanical writer and the daughter of a clergyman who owned land in Derbyshire and Cheshire. Her family had connections to Enlightenment culture in the midlands through Erasmus Darwin and her cousin Sir Brooke Boothby. She also knew Maria Edgeworth who described Jacson as a "gay garden lady" and was undoubtedly an influence on Jacson's work. Jackson took an interest in botany from a young age but did not publish her first book the children's educational volume Botanical Dialogues 1797 until she was in her forties. She later published Botanical Lectures 1804 and Sketches of the Physiology of Vegetable Life 1811 for an adult audience the former book being an introduction to the translation of Linnaeus's System of Vegetables 1783 by Erasmus Darwin. The Florist's Manual was her most popular and influential work.</p> Henry Colburn, hardcover

First edition of this scarce mining sales promotion from the Woods Investment Company which sponsored a booth in the Mining Building at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo NY in order to raise funds and expand the Woods mining and business empire. At the time the Woods operated the Gold Coin Mine employing 300 men with an annual payroll of $ 350000 as well as the Consolidated Doctor-Jack Pot New Zealand Mabel M. Damon Morning Glory and others. The Woods founded Victor CO and while digging the foundations for their elaborate Victor Hotel they discovered in 1894 a twenty-inch-wide vein of gold ore and began the development of the famed Gold Coin Mine. After rebuilding following the 1899 Victor CO fire the company continued to expand and rebuilt most of the burned-out business district in fire-resistant brick and stone. This work includes photo illustrations of Victor CO Cameron CO the Robinson-Victor Mine the Economic Gold Extraction Co. the Pike’s Peak power station and the Cripple Creek Short Line. The Woods were progressive mine owners who invested back into their community including the Gold Coin Club for Woods miners and workers which included a ballroom gymnasium baths bowling lanes tennis courts billiards room library and dining rooms. Unfortunately the Pan-American Exposition is best remembered as the site of the assassination of President McKinley shot by the anarchist Leon Czolgosz at the Temple of Music Sept. 6 1901.

000354Hardback. Good. The Dublin Review not to be confused with the modern literary journal was the leading Catholic periodical of its time having begun in 1836 as a quarterly continuing until its demise in 1969. It was founded by the barrister and journalist Michael Joseph Quin who brought in Daniel O'Connell and Cardinal Wiseman to the project. The aim was "to provide a record of current thought for educated Catholics and . to be an exponent of Catholic views to non-Catholic inquirers" and to this end it recruited eminent and well-regarded writers on religious historical and literary topics and with much focus on science. Despite its name the Review was printed and published in London. Issue four April 1837 344pp plus opening Contents leaf; bound in blue-green cloth spine titled gilt no specific title page as the original wrappers are not bound in; slightly rubbed at the extremities and with a very few stamps of the Franciscan Convent Library Wexford scattered around but overall in tight clean and good condition.
