1965513160Cambridge University Press 1965. Leather. NEAR FINE. A very nice mid-century printing of the coveted Turquoise setting on India Paper printed at the Bentley House in London. vi 1184 361pp.; 125 concordance color lithograph maps and gazeteer. Large 8vo Smyth-sewn binding with overcast stitching in hand-grained Morocco goatskin leather with leather liner; all edges gilt gilt stamped spine lettering two place ribbons. Owner's imprinted name scratched off; some trivial scuffing to the gilt very faint dampstains to just a few pages; otherwise an uncommonly nice copy with little evidence of use--no markings blank dedication pages very clean and bright pages and tight sound binding. One of the most sought-after settings of the KJV the Cambridge Turquoise is prized for its boldness and clarity of it's large font especially when printed on the older 'India Paper' makes for one of the most eminently legible personal Bibles -- readable from a distance of several feet. While the goatskin leather is very nice the key to the value of this printing is the paper. The excellence of the India Paper of this era the likes of which has not been produced since the 70's is hard to overstate. Decades of research and development by Oxford and Cambridge went into producing this astounding combination of thinness strenght and opacity. Cambridge University Press unknown
197197383Rabat Morocco August 16 1971. 1971. - Over 140 words typed in French on the Prince's 8-1/4 inch high by 6-1/8 inch wide royal stationery with a crown above Maghrebi script printed in indigo at top right. In his letter addressed to Vice President Spiro Agnew's chief of staff Arthur Sohmer Prince Moulay Abdallah of Morocco requests that Art Sohmer convey his warm regards and thanks to the Vice President for sending him a physical therapist "Je vous prie de transmettre a Monsieur le Vice-President S. AGNEW mes chaleureux remerciements pour la delicate attention qu'il a eue a mon egard en depechant aupres de moi un reeducateur". Vice President Agnew visited King Hassan II of Morocco on July 25th 1971 only a couple weeks after the attempted coup during which Prince Moulay Abdullah of Morocco was wounded. The prince goes on to praise the skills and personality of the therapist which the Vice President had sent him and apologizes for not having been able to attend the dinner which the American Ambassador had hosted in the Vice President's honor. He further expresses his thanks to Art Sohmer for the latter's own personal contribution and gesture of friendship: "Je tiens a vous remercier pour votre contribution personnelle a ce geste si amical qui m'a particulierement touche". Signed by Prince Moulay Abdullah in Maghrebi script. The letter is creased at the corners and stapled to the original mailing envelope with the oval red ink seal of the prince's "Secretariat Particulier" with the prince's name above the image of the Prince's crown. The envelope also bear's the Office of the Vice President's blue stamp. The Department of State's stamp together with the October 14th date is stamped in blue on the verso of the letter. Penciled at the top left of the letter is a request for a translation likely written by Art Sohmer: "State: Translation & suggested reply if appropriate".<p>Accompanying Prince Moulay Abdullah's letter which was written in French is an official "Office of the Vice President / Referral" form addressed to Mr. James L. Carson director of the State Department's Secretarial Staff. This form dated October 12 1971 and signed by Major P.D. Slack the Marine Corps Aide to the Vice President requests that the letter be translated for Art Sohmer and the Vice President's benefit.

A referral number is stamped at the top of the Prince's letter as well as at the top of the referral form and the translation references this number. <p>The brother of King Hassan II of Morocco Prince Moulay Abdullah of Morocco 1935-1983 was married to Lamia Solh the daughter of Lebanon's first Prime Minister. On July 10 1971 General Mohamed Medbouh who was disillusioned by King Hassan's light treatment of staff members who were shown to have been shaking down foreign companies and convinced that the King may himself be involved led a coup attempt. Conspiring with other military officers Medbouh enlisted a force of 1200 cadets to storm the palace during the King's birthday reception where according to different sources between 400 to 800 guests were present. 92 people were killed in the attempted coup and many more injured including Prince Moulay Abdullah Ben Mohammad. Royalist troops overcame the rebels killing more than a hundred cadets and capturing another 900 and their officers. Two weeks later on July 25 1971 Vice President Agnew visited Morocco. In his book "Hunting the President: Threats Plots and Assassination Attempts." Mel Ayton quotes Chuck Vance who served on President Ford's protective detail and who described the risks of foreign visits by U.S. Presidents & Vice Presidents: "There's going to be some razzle dazzle so people aren't quite clear who to attack. They'll have military personnel everywhere: frogmen ships and aircraft. I called in a whole naval fleet one time in a Moroccan visit for Vice President Agnew because of political uncertainties" no doubt referring to this visit. It was during this visit that Agnew referred or sent the physical therapist to the Prince. Prince Moulay Abdullah who was a favorite of his father passed away from cancer in 1983 at the age of 48.
