1864564j1976Bruxelles: Imprimerie de A. Mertens et Fils. Fair with No dust jacket as issued. 1864. First Edition. Hardcover. Is this book the plagiarized source of The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion "In his 1870 autobiography Maurice Joly 1829-1878 described how he conceived the idea of a dialogue between Montesquieu and Machiavelli. At that time it was forbidden to openly criticize the regime of Napoleon III but in this way it would be possible through the mouth of Machiavelli to expose the Emperor's motives and methods stripped of the usual camouflage. Thus this book was printed in Belgium and smuggled into France but was immediately seized by the police banned and Joly arrested. Thus few copies survive. Joly's reflections on the despotism of Napoleon III provide insights applicable to authoritarian regimes of today. Moreover something of Joly's insights even survived when his book was transformed into The Protocols of the Elders of Zion thus The Protocols often seem to forecast twentieth-century authoritarianism." - pages 73-76 of Warrant for Genocide by Norman Cohn in which he claims over 160 passages in the Protocols are clearly based on passages in Joly. "The Protocols of the Wise Men of Zion were first circulated in Russia in the early years of the twentieth century purportedly an account of a meeting between Jewish leaders in the fall of 1897. A horrible plot to undermine society overthrow governments and destroy Christianity is revealed. The 'minutes' are copied verbatim from A Dialogue in Hades Between Machiavelli and Montesquiou written by Maurice Joly. The 'Protocols' merely substituted the word 'Jew' for Joly's own devils." - Footnotes to pages 423-424 of Mein Kampf Reynal & Hitchcock 1939. Others argue that Joly's work was not the source of The Protocols. We leave it to the reader to decide. 4 i-iii iv 337 1 1 errata p. 18.0 x 12.4 cm. Text in French. Tight maroon quarter leather binding with new leather spine and leather title label. Wear to periphery of older marbled boards which are probably not original. Bookplate of Dr. J.A. Van Praag 1895-1969 inside front board. Van Praag was a lecturer at the University of Amsterdam when he acquired this book in 1931 and wrote his name atop the first blank leaf along with a comment about the purported connection of the book to The Protocols. He also wrote Joly's name on the title page. Pencil notes on pages 47 80 and 94. Evidence of moisture exposure to endpapers and more moderately to contents. Negligible if any waviness to contents. All text clearly legible with pages intact. Includes new custom acid-free clamshell with leather title label upon spine. A rare first edition example of this most contentious work. Provenance: Acquired from an Israeli dealer who purchased it at an Israeli auction which only sells books offered by Israelis. Our research indicates that at least some of Van Praag's books were looted by the Nazis in 1941. Apparently he retired in 1966 and attempted to rebuild his library. However after a fire in his widow's home in 1970 part of the library was destroyed or damaged and she sold the remaining books. We have no definitive way of knowing if this book was looted from Van Praag or if it was if he ever re-acquired it. Perhaps he did re-acquire it only to have it exposed to moisture per our description by firefighting efforts in his widow's home; 12mo . Imprimerie de A. Mertens et Fils hardcover

The album is a piece of very fine craftsmanship calligraphed by H. C. Kendall an "artist penman" and Principal of the Normal Writing Institute in Boston and bound by Frank J. Barnard the industry leader bookbinder in Massachusetts. The text consists of profound quotes about human greatness from William Dean Howells and Julia C. R. Dorr and the eulogy delivered at Temple Ohabei Shalom.<br /> <p><p><br /> Baron Maurice de Hirsch 1831-1896 was a German Jewish financier and philanthropist born into a wealthy landowner and banker family in Bavaria. In 1855 Hirsch married Clara Bischoffsheim daughter of a Belgian banker and became associated with his father-in-law's banking house. He amassed a large fortune and became one of the top five richest individuals in Europe at the time. Baron de Hirsch set up charitable foundations promoting Jewish education especially in Russia and after an unsuccessful offer of 50000000 francs to the Russian government to be used for purposes of Jewish education in 1891 he founded the Jewish Colonization Association the greatest charitable trust in the world to provide the funds for extensive Jewish immigration to Argentina. In the same year he established the Hirsch Fund to help the Russian Jewish immigrants in the States and provided the finances for agricultural colonies and trades schools in the US. Through his Galician Foundation he realized the establishment of primary and technical schools for Jewish pupils in Galicia and the Bukowina. "It is impossible to form an accurate estimate of the amount of money Baron de Hirsch devoted to benevolent purposes. That including the large legacy amounting to $45000000 left to the Jewish Colonization Association it exceeded $100000000 is an estimate justified by the amounts given by him from time to time to the foundations already referred to. There were besides many gifts to individuals of which there is no record." Jewish Encyclopedia Baron Maurice de Hirsch died suddenly presumably of a heart attack at the age of 64 on 21 April 1896 at the country house of a friend near his own recently purchased estate of Ógyalla in Hungary now part of Slovakia. His widow continued the Baron's charitable work. Clara died in Paris in 1899 and left the remaining family assets to her adopted son Maurice Arnold de Forest. <br /> <p>. unknown

M. de Déchy a Hungarian gentleman took up the task of exploration. In 1884 1885 and 1886 he made three extensive journeys in the range. In 1884 . he climbed Elbruz and a fine peak near the Mamison Pass. In the course of his wanderings he made the first passage by travellers of several native glacier passes and collected a considerable amount of scientific information with regard to the glaciers and the snow region. He also took a very large number of most valuable photographs of the scenery and people thus making himself the pioneer in Caucasian photography. I am indebted to him for some of the most interesting illustrations in these volumes" Freshfield p. 19. <br/><br/>De Déchy returned to the Caucasus again in 1887 this time with Freshfield. Fourteen of De Déchy's photographs were reproduced in Freshfield's Exploration of the Caucasus including "Ice-Lake at Klukhor Pass" one of the images in the present group. He also contributed an entire chapter "The Sources of the Kuban" vol. II chapter XXI. <br/><br/>These beautifully printed platinum prints are in a fine state of preservation and exhibit the wide tonal range and delicate shading characteristic of the process. unknown books

An important document in French detailing the functions of the island of Tobago written by Louis-Maurice Le Rat De Magnitot 1757-1823 colonial prefect of Tobago and Saint Domingue. Tobago changed hands many times during the 18th century and the island was briefly in French possession again in 1802-03 before being captured by the British in June of 1803. In this document Magnitot summarizes the situation of the newly reclaimed island. The first four sections of his MEMOIRE deal with military matters. In the first section "Troupes" he lists seventy-seven men garrisoned on Tobago noting that the garrison is a varied blend of men. He includes details on discipline causes of sickness and mortality among the men and uniforms. The second section "Artillerie" provides details of the number of guns and munitions at Tobago. The third section "Fortifications" includes two plans of Man of War Bay complete with soundings observations and important locations marked. This is followed by a section entitled "Marine" in which he details the condition of the ports and harbors. In the next four sections Magnitot gives details about the civil operations of the island: Laws Police Agriculture and Commerce. The section on the law is very detailed giving the organization of the courts civil and criminal. The section on police is perhaps the most interesting in which he gives not only information on keeping the public peace but on the public itself. Magnitot delineates in several separate points policing among the black populace the conduct of masters toward slaves and the condition of roads and the means of their maintenance. In the last of these points he gives numbers on both the European and colored populace. The "population blanche" numbers no more than 600 while the "population noire" at the time of the assessment numbers 17485. Breakdowns within each group are also given dividing rural from urban and free from slave. <br> <br> In the seventh section "Agriculture" Magnitot declares Tobago's agriculture to be flourishing. He lays out the reasons for that success before going into specific crop information detailing production of coffee cotton rum and sugar. The final section "Commerce" is the most extensive. It lays out details of Tobago's trade with France and reasons for variation on the flow of commerce as well as discussing the cost of national trade versus trade with other nations. Clearly the French administrators hoped Tobago would become a productive colony but Napoleon's entire American strategy collapsed in 1803 with the loss of Saint Domingue to the freed slaves the sale of Louisiana and the choking off of Caribbean commerce by the Royal Navy. <br> <br> First colonized by the Dutch in the early 17th century over the next two hundred years Tobago changed hands thirty-three times among the Spanish Dutch English and French all of them rival colonists. In 1763 Tobago was ceded to Britain captured by the French in 1781 and then recaptured by the British in 1793. In 1802 Trinidad was ceded to the British through the Treaty of Amiens and Tobago returned to the French. Britain re- captured it in 1803 when the peace broke and the Napoleonic Wars resumed. At the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1814 Britain gained formal possession of Tobago with the Treaty of Paris. <br> <br> A fascinating and detailed document illuminating this last brief period of French rule on the island of Tobago a small part of Napoleon's strategy to build a French empire in America. unknown books

On offer is a superb original 1803 - 1805 manuscript cypher and navigation book handwritten by a young midshipman James Maurice Shipton aboard the noted HMS Thunderer a ship forever in the history books as the ship that spotted the emerging Spanish fleet and thusly began the Battle of Trafalgar and the demise of Britain's enemies and sadly the hero of the day Lord Horatio Nelson. Notably Thunderer also took part in the Glorious 1st of June Battle against the French in 1794. James Maurice Shipton who would one day captain his own ship and reap accolades created this book while theThunderer worked blockade duty along the French coast.

Included are a number of letters from archivists and historians providing background info on Shipton.

1805102924Ambiani [Amiens], Ludovicus Jacobus Mauritius de Bonald, 1805, in-8, 207-[2]-55 ff, Cartonnage de l'époque, Manuscrit en deux parties : la première ? en 207 feuillets et 2 feuillets de table ? comporte le Cours de rhétorique en latin et en français de Louis Sellier; la seconde, foliotée en chiffre romains (LV), contient une transcription en français du Discours de Ciréron pour Milon. Le jeune étudiant à l'origine de ce cahier, Louis Jacques Maurice de Bonald (1787-1870), originaire de Millau, deviendra une personnalité éminente à Lyon, dont il sera l'archevêque en 1839. Pour l'heure, il est en passe d'achever ses études classiques : né dans une famille ultraroyaliste, il est conduit chez les Pères de la Foi ? d'abord au sein du collège d'Amiens, puis à Montdidier ? par son parent, le prêtre réfractaire de Millau Louis de Sambucy. Il y suit le cours de rhétorique de Louis Sellier (1772-1854), émule de Joseph Varin avec qui il participe à la restauration de la Compagnie de Jésus. Les leçons du père Sellier débutent le 23 septembre 1805; Maurice de Bonald est alors à l'aube de ses 18 ans. L'élève a recopié ses notes sur des pages réglées au crayon, à l'encre noire, d'une écriture soignée et lisible. La page de titre calligraphique est illustrée en tête d'une croix lumineuse surgissant de nuées. Le cours se constitue d'une préface et de trois parties : I. De inventione; II. De dispositione; III. De Elocutione. À la fin se trouvent le Pro Milone, célèbre plaidoyer de Cicéron qui servit d'exercice d'éloquence à des générations d'étudiants. "Sous la conduite de maîtres aussi éclairés dans la science de Dieu que dans les sciences humaines, la semence divine fructifia abondamment dans l'âme du jeune Maurice de Bonald, si bien préparée à la recevoir. Sa vocation ecclésiastique fut le couronnement de cette éducation profondément chrétienne, commencée sur les genoux d'une pieuse mère, et achevée par les soins de vénérables professeurs, et sous la haute direction de son père" (Vie de S. Em. le Cardinal de Bonald p. 15). Les études religieuses de Maurice de Bonald sont en fait assez peu connues, contrairement à sa carrière ecclésiastique : dès qu'il quitte les Pères de la foi, il entre au séminaire de Saint-Sulpice; il est fait prêtre à la fin de l'année 1811. En 1823, il est nommé à l'Evêché du Puy tout juste rétabli, puis devient archevêque de Lyon en 1839. Cet ultramontain oeuvre avec ferveur à la rechristianisation de la capitale de la soie en fondant des dizaines d'églises, plusieurs instituts religieux et en remettant à l'honneur le culte marial. Bien qu'imprégné de l'héritage ultraroyaliste de sa famille, Maurice de Bonald adopta une attitude prudente, évitant toute opposition directe au pouvoir et s'abstenant de s'impliquer dans les affaires politiques. Le document que nous présentons ici apporte un éclairage précieux sur les jeunes années de cette figure religieuse parmi les plus marquantes du milieu du XIXe siècle.

185253892Paris: Imprimerie Administrative de Paul Dupont/ Varnout et Galante 1852. First edition second printing. Softcover. g to vg. Small quarto. 49 1pp. Illustrated blue wrappers with black lettering on the covers. String-tied binding for the book block.<br /> <br /> A scarce illustrated catalog of early vulcanized rubber medical devices manufactured by the French company Varnout et Galante. Included here are more than 80 medical surgical and gynecological instruments designed under the supervision of physician and gynecologist Marie Maurice Gariel 1811-1878. The work includes numerous small engraved figures throughout illustrating various products. Each item is numbered for reference with a description some brief and some longer. The products include not only items related to reproductive medicine and women's health such as breast-feeding instruments vaginal douches tampons urethral probes and urinals for incontinence but also more general medical equipment such as crutches braces bandages protective gloves mattress pads for medical beds restraints compression belts and inflatable cushions. <br /> <br /> This publication is notable and intriguing in that it was produced at a time when both the modern medical field of gynecology was in it's infancy and the revolutionary process of vulcanizing rubber was a newly established industry. Only eight years earlier in 1844 American chemist and engineer Charles Goodyear had patented the groundbreaking process for manufacturing this material on an industrial scale and its wide range of potential uses was just starting to be discovered.
