18089225City of Washington: A. & G. Way 1808. Very Good. City of Washington: A. & G. Way 1808. First Edition. Octavo 21cm.; removed; 51pp. Light foxing spine nearly split else Good to Very Good despite slightly musty odor.<br /> <br /> Exceedingly uncommon pamphlet reproducing three pieces of correspondence between President Thomas Jefferson and American engineer Isaac Briggs. Briggs had volunteered his services in 1804 to lead an expedition to New Orleans with the "view of discovering the most direct and convenient route for a post-road from the city of Washington to New Orleans." The trip proved more difficult than expected and Briggs "encountered great expense and extreme hardships which were immediately followed by a severe and tedious sickness and a shock to his constitution from the effects of which it will probably never recover." Briggs concludes his letter with a plea for proper compensation for his hardships most likely a dangerous bout of malaria though he does appear to have recovered enough to work as one of the chief engineers on both the Erie Canal and the James River and Kanawha Canal up until his death in 1825. <br /> <br /> Jefferson's first response in this pamphlet corroborates Briggs' claims noting from his report that "the enterprise was expensive laborious and tedious infinitely beyond expectation. The way being then quite unknown he had to pursue his course through the woods to go through marshes swim rivers cut open his path sometimes and to encounter all obstacles as they presented themselves sleeping out without cover and distressed for food." Jefferson's second letter offers Briggs two hundred dollars by the sixth of June "Saturday se'nnight" and an additional two hundred dollars the following month. Jefferson goes on to say "I am really mortified that you should have been left to suffer in an undertaking wherein I was agent" but concludes with the happy news that a road is indeed being constructed based on Briggs' survey.<br /> <br /> Shaw & Shoemaker 16384 but missed by Sabin.

37867Warsaw: NP n.d. Softcover. g. Octavo. 4 page folded pamphlet. Orange label with black text tipped on the cover titled "Objasnienie" Explanation. The publication offers an explanation of Genesis 49:1 in which Jacob offers his sons a prediction of the end. Basing himself on the 15th century biblical commentator Isaac Abarbanel R. Abraham Kupfersztoch's father took each letter from the verse and produced a prophecy about a world war in which the Russians English Serbians French Italians and Romanians fight against Germany and Turkey. Germany would invade and defeat Russia Poland would gain its independence and the Jews would return to Israel. This process was done in a similar fashion to modern day biblical interpretations known as the "Bible Code". This brand of apocalyptic prophecy was influenced by Abarbanel who read Daniel as predicting an apocalyptic war between Christians and Muslims. Kupfersztoch's prediction was made in 1905 and it appeared to be on its way to fulfillment with the beginning of World War I. His empathy for Polish nationalists is quite striking as it goes against the common view of Polish-Jewish relations as being uniformly negative. Text in Hebrew and Polish. Some marking in pen and underlying in crayon. Overall in good condition. Abraham Isaac Kupfersztoch aka Kupperstock Poland - 1940 Berlin the author was an eccentric Hassidic Rabbi originally from Warsaw. He aided Germany during World War I by providing secret plans of the layout of Russian defenses. His reasons for doing this were based both an personal animus he harbored towards the Russians for executing some of his students years earlier and also likely in connection with this prophecy. As a consequence of his actions during the war he was granted German citizenship. He lived in Berlin and operated a Yeshiva there up through the Nazi period. He was even given financial support from the government and amazingly was one of an extremely rare class of Jewish citizens to have actually been given protection from anti-Semitic actions and persecution during the period. An extraordinary story reports that his yeshiva was in fact guarded from violence during the infamous Kristallnacht by a squad of SS members. Upon his death of natural causes in 1940 his students were subsequently no longer shielded from the Holocaust and were sent to concentration camps. NP unknown
