First Edition Thus. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. 4-46 pp. "The governments of England Russia and France thought through the publication of the exchange of diplomatic writings of the days before the beginning of WWI they could furnish a proof in the eyes of their own peoples and of the entire civilized world that the blame for the most gigantic shedding of blood which the world has ever experienced falls only upon 'war-lusting Germany' and that they for their part did all in their power to avoid the catastrophe. England has published a 'Blue Book' Russia an 'Orange Book' and France a 'Yellow Book.'" - p.5.

No Date [1854] 1st edition. Original Green Cloth with embossed gilt illustrated front board & spine Small 8vo, [i]-x, [11]-282 pages; with 6 pages of undated ads. Includes 2 dramatic frontispieces separated by a tissue guard, one shows casting out the evil spirits, the other shows table tipping (reproduced in gilt on the front cover), both with attractive young women at the center. Published just 6 years after the founding of the Spritualist movement in America. Spiritualists often set March 31, 1848, as the beginning of their movement. On that date, Kate and Margaret Fox, of Hydesville, New York, reported that they had made contact with a spirit that was later claimed to be the spirit of a murdered peddler whose body was found in the house, though no record of such a person was ever found. The spirit was said to have communicated through rapping noises, audible to onlookers. The evidence of the senses appealed to practically-minded Americans, and the Fox sisters became a sensation .many early participants in Spiritualism were radical Quakers and others involved in the mid-nineteenth-century reforming movement. These reformers were uncomfortable with more prominent churches because those churches did little to fight slavery and even less to advance the cause of women's rights. Such links with reform movements, often radically socialist, had already been prepared in the 1840s, as the example of Andrew Jackson Davis shows. After 1848, many socialists became ardent spiritualists or occultists. Socialist ideas, especially in the Fourierist vein, exerted a decisive influence on Kardec and other Spiritists (Wikipedia). Only one copy has appeared at a major auction house in the last 100 years. OCLC: 504493987. OCLC lists only 1 copy worldwide (British Library). Rear board also attractively embossed. Spine sunned, occasional light foxing. Very Good Condition. An excellent attractive copy of this exceedingly rare book. (AC-22-20)

Europe Maritime et Generale de Toutes les Costes des Mers, Oceane et Mediterrane’, ensemble toute les Isles Glfes Portz et Havres Faites Amsterdam par G. Blaeux et se vend à Paris chez Nicolas Berey au bout du pont Neuf proche les Augustins au deux Globes 1664.Acquaforte, impressa su carta vergata coeva, con bella coloritura d'epoca, in ottimo stato di conservazione. Esemplare di secondo stato, con la data corretta in 1664.Opera tratta da: Cartes generalles de toutes les provinces de France et d’Espaigne, revues et corrigées par le S[ie]r T[assin] geographe ordinaire du roy. 1648. A Paris che N. Berey au bout du pont neuf proche les Augustin au deux globes.Carta nautica del Mediterraneo di Nicolas I Berey basata sulla mappa d’Europa di Willem J. Blaeu, della quale rappresenta una riduzione della sola zona del bacino Mediterraneo. Come documenta il catalogo delle stampe del British Museum (1829), la carta viene stampata per la prima volta con la data 1646, mentre nella quasi totalità degli esemplari oggi esistenti la data è corretta in 1664; le tracce della correzione sono chiaramente visibili. La carta, separata pubblicazione del Berey, compare per la prima volta nella raccolta Cartes generalles de toutes les provinces de France et d’Espaigne (1648), atlante iniziato da Christophe Tassin nel 1633, e ristampato da Berey a partire dal 1644. Nello stesso anno, proprio Tassin vendette il suo fondo calcografico a Nicolas Berey e Antoine De Fer.Nicolas Berey (1610 circa - Parigi, 30 giugno 1665) noto come Nicolas I per distinguerlo dal figlio Nicolas II, anch’egli incisore ed editore, era il figlio di Jean Berey di Chaource. Data e luogo di nascita non sono noti con certezza. Si stabilì a Parigi, dove si sposò tre volte. Nicolas II Berey (1640 - 1667), nacque dal suo primo matrimonio. Dal suo secondo matrimonio nacquero la figlia Jeanne e il figlio Claude-Auguste (Parigi, 1660 - 1730), che si stabilirà a Parigi come incisore, editore e commerciante di stampe. Nel 1644, Nicolas I aveva una stamperia a Quai des Augustins di Parigi, con insegna tipografica “Les Deux Globes”. Sulle sue carte usava la formula “A Paris chez Nicolas Berey proche les Augustins” con riferimento ad un quartiere in cui altri editori e commercianti di stampe erano attivi all’epoca. Berey aveva contatti professionali con vari colleghi, tra cui il noto cartografo Antoine de Fer. Tra le sue opere più note troviamo la carta stradale e postale della Francia (1640) nella quale sono rappresentate tutte le rotte e le fermate dei servizi postali in Francia nella metà del XVII secolo. Nicolas I ristampò, a proprio nome, anche una serie di carte precedentemente edite da altri, in particolare quelle di Christophe Tassin. In questi casi, utilizzava le matrici acquistate, applicando sopra al cartiglio originario un foglio tipografico con il proprio nome. Alla morte di Nicolas I, nel giugno 1665, suo figlio gli successe nella tipografia; continuò nel negozio sul Quai des Augustins, ma morì, a soli 27 anni, nel dicembre 1667. A capo della tipografia “Les Deux Globes” passò, quindi, Alexis-Hubert Jaillot, sposato con Jeanne, figlia di Nicolas I e sorellastra di Nicolas II. Jaillot, sarebbe diventato uno dei più importanti cartografi francesi della seconda metà del XVII secolo.

Example of the second state of tw, with the date changed into 1664.Taken from: Cartes generalles de toutes les provinces de France et d’Espaigne, revues et corrigées par le S[ie]r T[assin] geographe ordinaire du roy. 1648. A Paris che N. Berey au bout du pont neuf proche les Augustin au deux globes.Chart of the Mediterranean by Nicolas I Berey, based on the map of Europe by Willem J. Blaeu, of which he represents a reduction of the only area of the Mediterranean Sea. As documented by the catalog of prints of the British Museum (1829), the map is printed for the first time with the date 1646, while in almost all the existing specimens today the date is correct in 1664; the traces of the correction are clearly visible. The map, separate publication by Berey, appears for the first time in the collection "Cartes generalles de toutes les provinces de France et d'Espaigne" (1648), atlas initiated by Christophe Tassin in 1633, and reprinted by Berey starting from 1644. In the same year,Tassin sold his chalcographic fund to Nicolas Berey and Antoine De Fer.Nicolas Berey (circa 1610 - Paris, 30 June 1665) known as Nicolas I to distinguish him from his son Nicolas II, also an engraver and editor, was the son of Jean Berey of Chaource. Date and place of birth are not known with certainty. He settled in Paris, where he married three times. Nicolas II Berey (1640 - 1667), was born from his first marriage. From her second marriage her daughter Jeanne and her son Claude-Auguste were born (Paris, 1660 - 1730), who settled in Paris as an engraver, publisher and print merchant. In 1644, Nicolas I had a printing press at the Quai des Augustins in Paris, with a "Les Deux Globes" typographic sign. On his maps he used the imprint "A Paris chez Nicolas Berey proche les Augustins" with reference to a neighborhood in which other publishers and print merchants were active at the time.
