Very good. Printed broadside. 1 vols. Folio 375 x 285 mm. This appeal printed above the names of A. Kerensky Victor Tchernoff Chernov and other Russian Social Revolutionaries for the 32 former members of the Russian Constituent Assembly protests the hardships inflicted upon Russia by communism. They accuse the Bolshevik government and its New Economic Policy of selling Russia's natural resources to the greed of international capitalism. The NEP was announced by Lenin in March 1921 and inaugurated an interim policy guaranteeing freedom of trade in internal commerce and a system of concessions for the investment of foreign capital. European states and busineses were pleased with the NEP and saw in it Lenin's capitulation to capitalism. However what they considered a weakness eventually turned out to be a mark of strength and flexibility of Bolshevik policy. unknown

1919223031919. Photographs measuring 6 x 4 inches and smaller. 1 vols. Oblong 8vo 8 3/4 x 6 1/2 inches. Contemporary gray cloth ms. title to upper board upper joint wearing but holding nicely. Photographs measuring 6 x 4 inches and smaller. 1 vols. Oblong 8vo 8 3/4 x 6 1/2 inches. A rare survival from a distinguished World War One veteran. Born in India Nightingale was educated at Rugby and Sandhurst and joined the Royal Fusiliers in 1910. He survived the landing on V beach Cape Helles Gallipoli April 25th 1915 and the following year he was awarded both the Military Cross and the Legion D'Honneur for his services. <br /> Nightingale subsequently served with the 46th Battalion Royal Fusiliers in the North Russian Relief Force part of the invasion of Russia by the English Irish and the Americans. The operation was conducted under the command of General H. de V. Sadleir-Jackson.<br /> Arriving in Archangel on 5 June 1919 the 46th proceeded along the Dvina River to Osinova where preparations were made for an attack on rail and river transport. The objective was to repel the Red Army from their established positions and generally improve the position of the White Russian forces. The hope was that the NRRF would be able to subsequently withdraw without significant casualties. In addition smaller raids on Red Army positions were carried out to the south partly to destabilize them partly as reconnaissance. Nightingale was in command of the Borok Column on the right bank of the Dvina River for the August 10 offensive.<br /> The first photos are of the H.M.T. "War Summit" & H.M.T. "Pretorian" chugging through the Arctic Ocean and White Sea in Midsummer June 1919 on its way to Archangel. They were billeted at Troitsa and among the many images of the town and its surroundings is one of where the mutiny of Dyer's Battalion took place. Equally there are shots of Russian batteries Allied defenses company headquarters and regimental aid posts as well as images of the Dvina River Yaroslovskoe and Selso. A page is devoted to "Col. Davies Headquarters at Commencement of Action Aug 10th" and shows how the British troops organized themselves in the Selmenga Forest namely with three shots of "Piccadilly Circus Selmenga Forest with Shaftesbury Avenue and Regent Street."<br /> The attack commenced at noon and despite the difficulty of the terrain was successful. We know that Borok Nightingale's objective was reported captured along with 80 POWs by eleven o'clock that evening. Nightingale was evacuated in late September.<br /> This is not only a record of the battle but includes many poignant personal touches too. Namely there are several shots of men with whom he served and the Russians with whom he stayed. The captions not only name the men in each photograph but in many cases reveal their fate: "Lt Taylor killed Aug 10th Lt Grant wounded Aug 1st Capt. Driver killed Aug 10th."<br /> The album also includes a typed order - dated September 9 1919 - which is a reminder that despite the success of the August attack the Russian Civil War was ongoing and would ultimately be won by the Bolsheviks. "You will send one platoon to SELMENGA to hold the SELMENGA BRIDGE and the beach road to GORODOK. The enemy are known to be in force in the vicinity of BOROK and GORODOK and may attempt an outflanking movement . The platoon remain in position there and will withdraw when Captain de Miremont with the GORODOK Infantry comes through there tonight . The Platoon should form a right flank guard to Captain de Miremont from SALMENGA to PLESS."<br /> The photographs of Russia occupy the first half of the album the rest is devoted to Nightingale's time in Ireland with the 7th Cadet Battalion. Despite his distinguished service in the military Nightingale's fate was a melancholy one. He died in 1935 reportedly either by suicide using his own revolver of from alcoholism. unknown

193543235Varshe Warsaw: Ko'operativer Farlag "Kultur Lige 1935. Original boards. 8vo 442 pages 22 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates as “Before the Flood.â€<br> <br> First volume of a three volume series of novels written by Sholem Asch while he was living in Bellevue France. Each volume describes Jewish life in a major city in the early 20th century. Volume 1 describes St.Petersburg Volume 2 describes Warsaw and Volume 3 describes Moscow.<br> <br> “Asch’s monumental trilogy Farn mabl Before the Flood.was in scope and treatment a work of major importance that translated into several languages consolidated his international reputation. Written and published in stages between 1921 and 1931 Farn mabl was translated into English in 1933 by Edwin and Willa Muir under the title Three Cities. This panoramic tale is told over three volumes each bearing the name of a city central to events immediately prior to and during the Russian Revolution of 1917: Petersburg Petersburg; 1929 Varshe Warsaw; 1930 and Moskve Moscow; 1931. <br> <br> To enable his readers more easily to grasp the complicated religious philosophical and sociopolitical problems of that period Asch deployed the genre of the bildungsroman depicting everything through the eyes of his hero Zachary Mirkin the only son of an enormously rich merchant. <br> <br> Petersburg examines the way entrepreneurial Jews contrived to share in the great commercial and industrial expansion of the turn of the century rising to positions of power and prestige in the dying days of tsarism. <br> <br> Warsaw by contrast sympathetically depicts the poverty and sociopolitical turmoil that made the Russian revolution inevitable while Moscow attempts to analyze the destructive social forces unleashed by the revolution and the subsequent conflict between individual freedom and the dictates of the Bolshevik party. <br> <br> In bridging the action between all three parts Zachary becomes the supreme example of Asch’s favorite character an existentially troubled being in search of faith and conviction able neither to accept nor to fight the drastic social transformations taking place all around him.†YIVO Encyclopedia.<br> <br> SUBJECTS: Yiddish literature.
