Coolidge as Vice President writes a letter of advice to eighteen-year old D.M. Stoner. Reading in full:<br/><br/>"Here is what I think is the right change. It is a satisfaction to know that you are doing well. I shall take for granted that you are glad of my help so there is no need for you to come to thank me. Now be careful of your money. It does little good to earn money if none is saved. You need some life insurance. If you will take what is enclosed not present and get an 'ordinary life' policy with twenty years settlement period you will never regret it. This would buy $1000 and have some change left over. All you need to do is WORK and SAVE YOUR MONEY. Just two things."<br/><br/>A fine letter; Coolidge in typical to-the-point fashion expounds the virtues of frugality and hard work. unknown books

184866814Tarrif as Essential to Secure Freedom COLTON Calvin. Public Economy for the United States. New York: A.S. Barnes & Co. 1848. First edition. With the inscription "Hon. J. Colamer with Respects of the Author" to the front free endpaper. J. Colamer was a Senator from Virginia. Large octavo. 7 8-536 pp. Publisher's brown cloth gilt spine lettering. Some light foxing throughout. A near fine copy. Born in Longmeadow Massachussets Colton was ordained in 1816 and worked as a pastor in western New York. He later became a professor of political economy at Trinity College Connecticut. He was a strong advocate for the protection of home industries and most of his writings reflect that. Public Economy for the United States is his most extensive work. Colton said he preferred 'public economy' over 'political economy' because the word 'political' had been abused. Political economy is "the application of knowledge derived from experience to a given position to given interests and to given institutions of an independant state or nation for the increase of public and private wealth. Freedom is a thing of 'commercial value' and the parts of the world most free require protection against those less so because the sole object of protection is to maintain and fortify freedom. Protection as opposed to Free Trade thus accords with the principles of the American Revolution" Dorfman II 778. Kress C.7332. HBS 66814. $1500 A.S. Barnes & Co. hardcover books

1585D8191London: Printed by Thomas Dawson Impensis George Bishop 1585. Hardcover. Very Good. 4to 180 x 130mm. 16 298pp. i.e. 598 34 P. 598 misnumbered 298. Signatures: A-2P8; 2Q-2V4. Edited by Henry Beveridge Esq. Period calf rebacked with five raised bands modern morocco label; hinge splitting affecting first gathering title in facsimile slightly browned lacking final blank. Period pen trials on the final verso leaf varying the phrase For if thou possibly beginning proverb. <br/><br/>1585 English translation of Calvins Commentary on the Acts of the Apostles; plentiful in spiritual gifts for the common good. Calvins Commentary was faithfully translated into English by Christopher Fetherstone a student of Divinity; this forms the basis of the Calvin Translation Societys edition. John Calvin the father of modern reformed theology was after Martin Luther a premiere leader in the Protestant movement. One of the goals of Calvins reformed thought was to unite a people with a sense of community and concern for one another he did especially by commenting on the imperative parts of the Gospel which motivated readers to contribute generously to common interest. The present commentary on the Acts of the Apostles is more historical than doctrinal; and hence does not contain so much profound theological discussion as some of Calvins other Commentaries. The leading topic is the progress of the Gospel under the inspired teachers to whom its first propagation was entrusted and the Constitution of the Apostolic Church including privileges enjoyed by its members. To this latter point the controversy is especially directed. From Spurgeons Commenting and Commentaries 1876 quoting Arminius I affirm that he excels beyond comparison in the interpretation of Scripture and that his commentaries ought to be more highly valued than all that is handed down to us by the Library of the Fathers; so that I acknowledge him to have possessed above most others or rather above all other men what may be called an eminent gift of prophecy The Translation appears to be well executed. It is perhaps not so strictly literal as that of the Commentary on the Romans which the Calvin Society has already published; but any difference in this respect is more than compensated by the general superiority of its style. There are occasional obscurities or mistranslations which the editor has endeavored as in the Commentary on the Romans to remove by footnotes; but on the whole it is believed that the present Translation will not suffer by comparison with that of any Theological Translation of the same period.

December 17 1923 The White House - to Lew Wallace Jr. son of Lew Wallace Union general in the American Civil War governor of the New Mexico Territory and author of "Ben Hur"- "Dear Mr. Wallace The growth of thrift and saving in this country promises well for our future. Only through sacrifice and hard work can we attain the cherished things in life. This means we must work and save. The progress of the United States Government Savings System in giving to all our people an opportunity to invest in safe securities is most worthy. By placing Treasury Savings Certyificates on sale in post offices banks and trust companies the Government has made available to everyone a security of unquestioned soundness. Their widespread sale makes for better citizenship as each purchaser holds a stake in his Government. I believe also that the enlargement of a national Thrift movement will eventually stamp out the false and unsound practices of the swindler." A 25 line roughly 225 word letter that in the last paragraph goes on to talk about the growth of this system that "will result in increased happiness for the individual and in increased prosperity in general."

159290388Geneva: Apud Iohannem le Preux 1592. Rare early printing of Calvin's seminal work on systematic theology and one of the most influential works of Protestant theology. Folio bound in full contemporary vellum with a burgundy spine label lettered in gilt elaborate woodcut printer's device to the title page woodcut headpiece and initial to the first page of text. In near fine condition with ownership inscriptions to the front free endpaper. An exceptional example. One of the most influential works of Protestant theology John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion was first published in Latin in 1536 at the same time as Henry VIII of England's Dissolution of the Monasteries and soon in his native French language in 1541 with the definitive editions appearing in 1559 Latin and in 1560 French. Calvin published the work with the intention of publishing an introductory textbook on the Protestant creed covering a broad range of theological topics from the doctrines of church and sacraments to justification by faith alone and Christian liberty. Throughout the work Calvin vigorously attacked the religious teachings he considered unorthodox particularly Roman Catholicism which he was previously strongly devoted to before his conversion into Protestantism. Institutes in its first form was not merely an exposition of Reformation doctrine; it proved the inspiration to a new form of Christian life for many. It is indebted to Martin Luther in the treatment of faith and sacraments to Martin Bucer in what is said of divine will and predestination and to the later scholastics for teaching involving unsuspected implications of freedom in the relation of church and state.

157796188London: Imprinted by Thomas Dawson for John Harison and George Byshop 1577. First edition in English of John Calvin's commentaries on the Pauline Epistles. Octavo bound in full speckled calf with raised bands to the spine all edges red rebacked. Title within architectual woodcut border woodcut initials. In very good condition. First editions are rare. One of the earliest extant Christian documents the Pauline Epistles constitute thirteen books of the New Testament and are largely attributed to Paul the Apostle. As part of the canon of Christian theology and ethics the Epistles offer an unprecedented insight into the beliefs and controversies of early Christianity. The Pauline epistles are usually placed between the Acts of the Apostles and the general epistles in modern editions of the New Testament. Most Greek manuscripts however place the General epistles first and a few minuscules place the Pauline epistles at the end of the New Testament. French theologian and reformer John Calvin produced commentaries on most of the books of the Bible. He devoted four years in compiling his commentaries on the Pauline epistles before turning his attention to the general epistles which he dedicated to Edward of England.

1852WRCAM54266Cassel: Theodor Fischer 1852. Sixteen color lithographed mapsheets each 15 1/2 x 19 3/4 inches plus 2pp. explanatory text. Large oblong folio. Original printed paper- covered boards cloth backstrip. Minor rubbing and edge wear light staining. Internally clean. Very good plus. A rare and unusual atlas for the eastern half of the United States printed in German by noted American mapmaker J. Calvin Smith. Fifteen of the sixteen mapsheets comprise a sectional map intended to be pieced together to create a very large map of the eastern United States extending westward to parts of Texas the Indian Territory later Oklahoma and Nebraska. The sixteenth mapsheet is a general map of the United States including a good portion of lower Canada and the Caribbean extending southward to Venezuela. The sheet of explanatory text pictures the sectional map if assembled correctly from the fifteen sheets. <br> <br> This atlas was issued during a period of great German emigration to the United States and it was clearly intended for the use of emigrants and emigration offices - it would have been of great use to them. <br> <br> Most of the time Smith's maps are encountered as American productions. Considering the flood of German emigration to the United States in the mid-19th century it is logical that this map was printed to encourage the practice and therefore commissioned by German investors in the United States. This German edition of Smith's map is rarer than his American productions with Colton. KARROW I:1626. KARPINSKI 177 dating it 1850. RUMSEY 3471 ref. Theodor Fischer hardcover books

"Calvin's 'Institution of the Christian Religion' was the first systematic statement of a Reformed Church. It is the most important doctrinal work of the Reformation as a whole and provided a comprehensive theological system rivaling those of the Middle Ages . Calvinism's most important role despite Calvin's authoritarian influences was to support the movement for liberty and independence in many parts of the world" Printing and the Mind of Man 65. First published in Basel in 1536 the "Institutio was much revised taking its final form in 1559" PMM. Calvin understood the importance of vernacular translations in the transmission of ideas made possible by the printing press and prepared a French edition in 1541. This fourth edition follows closely and corrects the third edition printed in 1543. All early editions are uncommon.<br/><br/>Calvin 1509-64 drew upon St. Augustine and Luther as well as upon classical sources including Plato and Seneca; his work addressed theological issues and also notably the relations between ecclesiastical and civil government. The contemporary annotations often callouts of classical authors and shoulder notes with a few pointing hands are most extensive in the first six chapters again in chapter sixteen on the Lord's Prayer where Melanchthon is cited but appear throughout. <br/><br/>The first work in this well preserved contemporary binding is the second Froben folio edition of Erasmus Ecclesiastes Basel: Froben 1539.
