Al fondo del volume quarto, "Anecdotes sur la révolution de Russie, en 1762, par le même auteur", con proprio frontespizio. Quest'ultima opera era già apparsa nel 1797; l'"Histoire", invece, circolò a lungo manoscritta, prima di essere impressa postuma in questa prima edizione. Nato nella "banlieue" di Parigi, l'A. (1735-1791), ufficiale, diplomatico, storico, amico di Rousseau e dei "philosophes", A. di opere anonime, membro dell'Académie Française dal 1787, compose una poderosa "Histoire de Russie". La presente opera fu composta per il Delfino, il futuro Luigi XVI, il sovrano ghigliottinato. Ciò gli valse una pensione di 6000 "livres". Rivale di Chamfort et di Rivarol, Rulhière «est un écrivain non seulement spirituel, mais savant et habile, qui, après avoir longtemps disséminé ses finesses et ses élégances sur des sujets de société, a essayé de rassembler finalement ses forces, de les appliquer aux grands sujets de l'histoire, et y a, jusqu'à un certain point, réussi».

Frontespizio stampato in rosso e nero con bellissima vignetta animata calcogr. siglata: “Petrus Salvini inv. et del. Brixiae Daudet sculp. Lug d.”. Prima ed unica edizione di quest’importante opera medica del celebre medico e poeta bresciano il Conte Francesco Roncalli (Brescia, 1692 – 1763 o 1769), noto anche come Francesco Roncalli Parolino, Francesco Parolino Roncalli e Francesco Roncalli Parolini. L’autore, allievo a Padova del Valisnieri, si distinse per varie opere a carattere medico fra le quali, oltre a quella qui presentata, “Medicina Europae” e “Nosocomium locupletatum”. Ampiamente apprezzato come medico e studioso venne chiamato alla corte di Spagna diventando il medico personale del Re di Spagna e per i suoi meriti medici venne anche insignito del titolo di Conte di Polonia dal Principe di Sassonia Federicus Christianus, Re di Polonia e Grande Elettore. Appassionato di botanica scrisse anche una celebre opera dedicata alla flora bresciana “Plantarum in agro brixiano situs, et vires”. Il De Renzi (vol V, pp. 148 e 554) così scrive del Roncalli: “…fu medico dotto ed operosissimo, ed acquistò molta fama per aver concepito e menato a termine un disegno utilissimo in quel tempo: quello cioè di raccogliere le relazioni de’ principali medici di Europa sulla medicina de’ propri paesi, indicando le condizioni topografiche, le malattie endemiche o più frequenti ed i metodi più in uso nel medicare”. L’opera qui presentata tratta in forma di epistole latine, numerose affezioni, tra le quali gli aneurismi, malattie cutanee, l’epilessia, la melanconia, l’ipocondria, l’apoplessia, la scrofola, la miopia, la sifilide, l’asma, i tumori, la lombaggine, la nefrite, varie malattie ginecologiche, etc. ed è considerata un sunto del pensiero medico dell’epoca. Fra gli autori corrispondenti delle “Epistole” si trovano i grandi medici dell’epoca come Paolo Valcarenghi, Carlo Francesco Cogrossi, Andrea Pasta, Giovanni Battista Morgagni, Giovanni Battista Mazzini, Antonio Leprotti ed altri. Rif. Bibl.: Hirsch-H, IV, 511; Wellcome, IV, 554; Rappaport 387 che descrive l’opera come molto importante; Blake, 387; Non in Garrison-Morton e in Waller; Osler, 3830: “I know no work of exactly the same lines”.

8vo; 1st edition. Original illustrated red boards, 8vo, 342 pages. In Yiddish. Title translates as, "The destruction of Vilna." Kaczerginski (19081954) was a Yiddish writer and cultural activist. Born in Vilna to a poor family and educated at that citys Talmud Torah, Shmerke (Pol., Szmerke) Kaczerginski lost both his parents during World War I. As a youth, he was involved with outlawed Communist groups and was arrested several times, serving a lengthy prison term. In the 1930s, two of his revolutionary poems became popular in Poland. He wrote short stories with a radical bent and was a correspondent and reporter for literary publications, including the semilegal leftist press in Poland and the New York Communist daily Morgn-frayhayt. Kaczerginski played a key role in shaping the writers and artists group Yung-Vilne; he organized its evening events and was the de facto publisher of its three miscellanies between 1934 and 1936. During the period of Soviet control over Lithuania in 19401941, he was even more active in the field of Yiddish culture, but at the same time experienced his first disappointments with the attitude of the Soviet regime toward Jewish culture. During the first period of Nazi occupation, Kaczerginski wandered through villages and towns posing as a deaf mute; after many difficulties, he ended up in the Vilna ghetto. Kaczerginski was very involved in the ghettos cultural activities. As a leader of its youth club, he wrote its Yugnt-himen (Youth Hymn), a song that immediately became popular. In 1943, he wrote the song Shtiler, shtiler in memory of the mass murders committed at Ponar. Set to music that Aleksander Volkoviski (later known as Aleksander Tamir) had submitted to a contest organized by the ghetto, the song was first heard at an evening performance there and over the years became one of the best-known songs of the Holocaust. With Avrom Sutzkever and others, Kaczerginski became part of a group of forced laborers whom the Germans designated to sort Jewish cultural treasures at YIVO and other locations. Known as the Papir-brigade (Paper Brigade), the groups members risked their lives to hide the most significant items, smuggling them back into the ghetto or entrusting them to non-Jewish acquaintances. Kaczerginski was a member of the Fareynikte Partizaner Organizatsye (United Partisans Organization; FPO), and, since YIVOs building was located outside the ghetto walls, he took part in smuggling weapons into the ghetto. In September 1943, Kaczerginski, along with Avrom and Freydke Sutzkever and other members of the FPO, escaped from the Vilna ghetto as part of an organized group of fighters just before its liquidation. They joined a Soviet partisan unit in the Naroch Forests, where Kaczerginski fought as a partisan until liberation in July 1944. Kaczerginskis books describe the destruction of Vilna, the partisan struggle, and his own experiences during the Holocaust period: Khurbn Vilne (The Destruction of Vilna; 1947), Partizaner geyen (Partisans on the Move; 1947), and Ikh bin geven a partizan (I Was a Partisan; 1952) (YIVO, 2010).
