Stereotype Reprints Of The First Twelve Tracts Published As Pamphlets By The Society Each Newly Printed Here With 1838 Date On Title Pages For Each Tract And Catalog Of All Twelve Tracts Plus The 'New Series Of Small Tracts" On The Verso Of The Title Page Each Title Page With Price Of Two Or Three Pence. The First Tract Is Commonly Available But The Later Tracts Were Mostly Based On A Popular Theological Interpretation Of Christian Principles And Unreadable By Anyone Involved In Executive Decisions Particularly As War Had Been The Usual Basis Of Promotion And Wealth In All Socities Worldwide . Finely Bound In Polished Blue Calf Four Raised Bands Decorated In Gilt Morocco Spine Label Blind-Stamped Compartments Covers With Four Sets Of Gilt Border Rules With Ornate Gilt Embellishments At Corners Of Two Central Sets Of Rules All Edges Gilt Finely Hand-Marbled End Papers Four Wavy Gilt Lines On All Turns. Binding Worn Page Block Neatly Detached From Binding No Chips Or Tears Could Be Nicely Refurbished. Unfortunately Peace Literature Does Not Start With A Statement Of What A Government Should Hold Truly Essential And Non-Negotiable In Any Peace Negotiation Nor Discusses What Is Negotiable To The Benefit Of The Other Party; Rather Peace Literature Is Like Rules For A Playtime Tea. This Is Fitting As The Grown-Ups And The Government Just Want To Remain In Charge While Looking Good Although Actually Having No Articulable Principles Applicable To Both Parties To State Because They Know No Other Way To Achieve Popularity Or At Least Incumbency. <br/> <br/> Thomas Ward & Co / Society for the Promotion of Permanent and Universal Peace unknown
