Paris, Librairie Plon Les Petits-Fils de Plon et Nourrit, 1929. Fort in- 4 ( (210 x 290), broché, couverture imprimée, VII (avertissement de Jean Fredet -introduction)-457 pp avec bibliographie. Edition originale rare. Exemplaire non coupé. Ouvrage illustré d'une carte sur double-page : carte générale des approches de Changhaï- un plan de la ville et du port sur double page et de nombreuses planches hors-texte (portraits, vues, plans, monuments, etc). BEL EXEMPLAIRE TEL QUE PARU. Un peu d'histoire : Quelques milliers de Français prirent part au façonnement de cette partie de la cité de Shanghai qu’on a appelée pendant un siècle la « Concession française » - où vivaient dans les années 1920 quelque 250.000 Chinois, l’équivalent alors de la population lyonnaise... Le 20 mai 1847 Charles de Montigny embarqua avec sa famille à bord du Duguay-Trouin en partance pour Shanghai pour y établir un Consulat français et négocier avec les Chinois l’établissement d’une concession, territoire sur lequel s’exercerait le droit français et où les Français eux-mêmes pourraient acquérir des biens immobiliers... En 1862, il existait trois concessions à Shanghai : la concession anglaise -la plus ancienne- et les concessions américaine et française. Les Anglais et les Américains avaient pour projet de réunir les trois concessions dont les traditions d’administration étaient jusque là totalement différentes afin de former une seule et même concession, plus cohérente, plus puissante et donc plus riche. Mais les Français refusèrent cette proposition et menèrent une « guerre d’indépendance » contre les autres concessions qui finirent par se regrouper pour former une concession internationale. Au milieu du 19e siècle, la colonie française ne comptait qu’une dizaine de personnes. En 1880, elle regroupait 33.660 habitants, dont 33.330 Chinois et quelques 330 « étrangers ». Vingt ans après, en 1900, la population avait triplé. La concession elle-même s’agrandit : des 66 hectares initiaux, elle passa à 144 en 1900. En 1906, la première ligne de tramway fut ouverte. Jusqu’en 1940, Shanghai connut un développement spectaculaire. Le domaine français gagna du terrain, les ruisseaux furent comblés et de grandes avenues furent construites. Après la Grande Guerre, la concession française était à son apogée. Magasins de mode, boutiques de luxe, épiceries fines, salons de thé proclamaient sa fortune. L’essor démographique se poursuivit : en 1934, la concession comptait plus d’habitants que la ville de Lyon. Elle s’organisa d’ailleurs comme une vraie ville avec ses églises, ses écoles, ses hôpitaux, ses banques, sa prison, son cimetière et... ses maisons closes. L’automobile fit également son entrée : 4.026 voitures circulaient dans la concession en 1931 contre contre 2 seulement en 1909.

Madrid, Imprenta de la Viuda de Manuel Fernandez, 1755. 4to.; 2 hs., XVI pp., 398 pp. y un mapa plegado, grabado en cobre, que muestra las misiones jesuitas en la India. Encuadernación en pergamino, de la época. Parte destacada del presente volúmen esta formada por las "Cartas" del Padre Sebastian Rasle (1658-1724) en las Misiones del Canadá, entre los Indios Abenakis, en Norridgewock, en el Rio Kennebec, en tiempo de las luchas contra los ingleses de New England, a manos de los cuales murió finalmente tras haber sido puesta a precio su cabeza. Su prestigio y fama entre los Abenakis fue imperecedero, su conocimiento de su lengua y costumbres impresionante, como lo prueba el manuscrito de su "Diccionario de la Lengua Abenaki", milagrosamente conservado hasta hoy en la Biblioteca del Harvard College y publicado en 1835. Otra interesante relación es la que contiene el viaje y estancia en el Tibet entre 1716 y 1721 del Padre Ippolito Desideri. No menor es el interés del Informe de la Visita de Fray José Peralta, Obispo de Buenos Aires, a las Misiones jesuítas del Paraguay en 1743.
