19321003656Berlin: S. Fischer Verlag 1932. First edition of German novelist Alfred Döblin's Giganten inscribed by Döblin to the Russian-Jewish political writer Isaac Steinberg 1888-1957 from the library of Steinberg's son art historian Leo Steinberg 1920-2011. While Döblin is best remembered for his 1929 realist novel Berlin Alexanderplatz critical attention in recent years has turned to his ambitious dystopian works of science fiction. Giganten is a revised and condensed version of Döblin's 1924 Berge Meere und Giganten adapted in an effort to find his sprawling eco-horror novel a broader audience. Döblin's vision of a precarious global future characterized by energy crises relentless genetic engineering and environmental catastrophe now seems prescient. The unabridged 1924 text was finally translated into English as Mountains Oceans Giants in 2021. Döblin has inscribed this copy of Giganten to his friend Isaac Steinberg a Russian exile Socialist Revolutionary and leader of the Jewish Territorialist movement. In Berlin Steinberg convinced Döblin to join the Zionist movement "Freiland-Liga" and in 1932 both men participated in the Sholem Aleichem Club to discuss Jewish settlements in Siberia. The inscription reads: "Dem Genossen Steinberg. Mit schönen Grüßen. Von Haus zu Haus. Alfred Döblin. 7.4.32" "To Comrade Steinberg. With kind regards. From house to house. Alfred Döblin. April 7 1932." For more on the relationship between Döblin and Steinberg see Gabriele Sander "A Banner I Could Not Hold Aloft: Alfred Döblin and Judaism." European Judaism 34:1 2001. Text in German. A sound copy of a compelling novel very scarce inscribed. Single volume measuring 8 x 5 inches: 8 11-377 7. Original tan cloth stamped in brown and red upper board lettered in brown. Presentation inscription from Döblin to Isaac Steinberg on preliminary blank. Owner signature of Leo Steinberg to front free endpaper.

Yitzhak Ben-Zvi 24 November 1884 - 23 April 1963 was a historian Labor Zionist leader and the longest-serving President of Israel. He was the second President of Israel. He was with Theodore Herzl one of the organizers of the first Zionist Congress in Basel in the fall of 1897 where the World Zionist Organization was founded and the intention to re-establish a Jewish state was announced. Shimshi was the only organizer of the first Zionist Congress to live to see the birth of the modern State of Israel in 1948. In 1952 Ben-Zvi was honored by the first Israeli Knesset parliament with the title "Father of the State of Israel". In 1948 Ben-Zvi headed the Institute for the Study of Oriental Jewish Communities in the Middle East later named the Ben-Zvi Institute Yad Ben-Zvi in his honor. The Ben-Zvi Institute occupies Nissim Valero's house. His main field of research was the Jewish communities and sects of Asia and Africa including the Samaritans and Karaites. This work is the study of three different categories of Jews: Jews belonging to communities that were originally dispersed in Moslem countries; Certain religious sects that consider themselves as belonging to the House of Israel and certain groups of Jewish extraction who were coerced by their Moslem conquerors into adopting the Moslem faith.

"According to the Travels Weld landed at Philadelphia in November 1795 from which he made excurisions in all directions. On one of these he visited Baltimore Washington Alexandria and Mount Vernon. On another he moved west to York and Lancaster the northern neck of Virginia and Williamsburg and Norfolk apparently going as far south as the Dismal Swamp. At Williamsburg he noted that the captial was crumbling to pieces that William and Mary was a grammar school rather that a college that the church was out of repair and that the hospital for the insane was not well regulated. On his return he journeyed to Richmond and west to the mountains and as was usual with travelers he described Rock Bridge. After coming back to Philadelphia he went to Canada. His departure for home took place at New York."--Clark II 132. HOWES W-235. Sabin 102541. Haynes 20950. unknown
185657145New York 1856. 39 broadsides labels ads calling cards etc. all relating to the business ventures of Isaac S. Clough a prolific inventor and salesman who concentrated mostly on the invention of novel insect traps but who also sold ash sifters pastry boards spring boot jacks combined knife spoon and fork utensils match safes hand lanterns an "automaton dancer" composed of two "negro-dancers" and string and more. At least six different insect traps are represented including a Premium Clockwork Pillar & Cage Fly Trap and a Clock-Work Revolving Light House Fly & Mosquito Trap. The largest item is a broadsheet 9.25" x 12" with a "Clough's Reporter" newsletter on one side and a large engraved illustration for a Suspension Cage New Fly-Trap on the opposite side. In addition to his inventions Clough also worked as a manufacturer distributor and a door to door salesman. Many of the ads are pointed at wholesalers and two items are printed calling letters notifying a household of an imminent visit by Clough to sell them fire shovels for example. A number of items cite Clough's number of medals and diplomas earned with the number peaking at 19 and 33 respectively. Aside from this small change in accolades it is difficult to date most of the material. "Clough's Reporter" is dated 1860 one manuscript letter from the then governor of Massachusetts Alexander H. Rice congratulating Clough for his success in business dated 1856. The calling letter from the Iron Clad Can Co. is dated 1876. The majority of the material is likely printed between the late 1850s and the early 1870s. Also included are a few New York banknotes signed by Clough and a receipt on letterhead for a tombstone ordered by him for Cypress Hills Cemetary. We could find little on Clough's life beside the fact that he appears to have been based in Brooklyn NY. A few chips and holes in some items but most generally very good and an interesting group reflecting the world of late 19th century American industry. <br/><br/> hardcover books

Illustrated with 16 folding views plans and maps; xix 1 427; viii 376 pp. Minor aging and some darkening to a few pages and some foxing to one plate. Near fine condition. Weld an Irishman came to America in 1795 when he was nineteen. This work narrates his travels through the former colonies along the eastern seaboard and the Canadian provinces. Very popular at the time it was published Weld comments on the population and social habits and customs of the people he saw. According to Howes Weld seemed to prefer Canada to the States. Compared to the similar works of this period Weld seems to be fairly objective on most things. However whether or not his observation that Americans lose their teeth prematurely is accurate would be hard to substantiate. Contains several interesting views of Niagara Falls Mt. Vernon Bethlehem PA and a large map of the northern portion of the United States with inset of the southern States. John Stockdale hardcover books
