Rákóczi 1676-1735 was a Hungarian prince who led a rebellion against the Hapsburgs in the early 18th century. Although the uprising was unsuccessful Rákóczi became a national hero and a number of songs were written in his honor with this march becoming the most popular. A version of the theme was frequently performed by Romani violinist János Bihari 1764-1827 and became closely associated with Hungarian identity during the growing nationalist movement. The Austrian leaders in Vienna were anxious about a potential uprising and restricted the Rákóczy along with many other patriotic symbols. Many versions and arrangements of the march exist including those by Liszt and Berlioz. Treichlinger J. [PN J.T. 121] unknown books

Wikipedia: "The Paris Commune was a radical socialist and revolutionary government that ruled Paris from 18 March to 28 May 1871. Following the defeat of Emperor Napoleon III in September 1870 the French Second Empire swiftly collapsed. In its stead rose a Third Republic at war with Prussia which laid siege to Paris for four months. A hotbed of working-class radicalism France's capital was primarily defended during this time by the often politicized and radical troops of the National Guard rather than regular Army troops. In February 1871 Adolphe Thiers the new chief executive of the French national government signed an armistice with Prussia that disarmed the Army but not the National Guard. Soldiers of the Commune's National Guard killed two French army generals and the Commune refused to accept the authority of the French government. The regular French Army suppressed the Commune during "La semaine sanglante" "The Bloody Week" beginning on 21 May 1871. Debates over the policies and outcome of the Commune had significant influence on the ideas of Karl Marx who described it as an example of the "dictatorship of the proletariat Swan Sonnenschein unknown books

Hill and Carl Baermann. During the winter of 1881-1882 Hill taught her harmony 'the only formal instruction in music theory she ever received. lNAW At the age of 16 she debuted with the Boston Symphony Orchestra as a pianist and finding favor with critics and public alike continued to give recitals. Her marriage in 1885 to Dr. H.H.A. Beach a distinquished surgeon and colleague of Dr. Oliver Wendell olmes considerable altered the course of her career. her husband appreciated and supported her music but disliked her performing in public. With his encouragement she focusted on composing teaching herself the priciples of musical composition. Her Mass in E Flat major for vocal quarter chorus orchestra and organ was first performed in 1892 by the Handel and Haydn Society with the Boston Symphony Orchestra.

Excised leaf of an advertisement also laid in. First American editions of the <i>Bible of Nature</i> and of the <i>Opus Maximum</i>.</p>An interesting example of an early American radical book publishing consortium. Pedestrian Stewart 1742-1822 was by all accounts a brilliant eccentric who had traveled across Europe and England and large chunks of North America on foot all in an attempt to reform both men and their minds; his ideas tended toward the radical if perhaps at times unreadable. See the DNB. <br /><br />The two volumes here of <i>The Bible of Nature</i> were published together by a consortium of free thought and radical publishers including expatriate English free thought emigrants Gilbert Vale and George Evans and by J. P. Mendum; the second volume as collected here appears either to be fragmentary or published solely as an introduction to stereotype editions of the Evans editions of <i>Moral State of Nations</i> and the <i>Revelation of Nature</i>. <br /><br />Something of a bibliographical tangle given that the stereotype plates were evidently available free to the asking for American radical publishers of the period and completeness of the second part of the <i>Bible of Nature</i> is unclear and may have been included here simply as a sort of table of contents to the volumes that here follow; whether this sammelband is as published and sold by the radical reformer George Henry Evans or had collected by an early reader is unclear.

1898WRCAM34106Boston: Bates & Guild Company 1898. Two volumes. 680pp. plus fifty photographic plates; 4528pp. including numerous in-text illustrations and plans plus 100 loose photographic plates. Each plate is 9 1/2 x 12 inches and mounted on a heavy card 15 1/2 x 19 inches. Half titles. Large folio. Gathered signatures laid into original half cloth and paper board portfolios paper labels on covers. Portfolios shaken and worn particularly along spines. Minor dust soiling in margins. A few plates with slightly greater edge wear. Contemporary ownership inscription on paper labels. Overall images bright and clean. Very good. From an edition limited to 500 copies. An impressive tour of Boston municipal architecture divided into two parts. The first part features "schoolhouse architecture" almost entirely while the second part features hospitals institutions and miscellaneous buildings. The text accompanying each portfolio offers a detailed description of the buildings illustrated in the large plates. In the plates the buildings are usually shown from the front; but these views are often supplemented by side detail or interior shots. Some of the plates are photographic reproductions of relevant architectural plans. <br> <br> "Wheelwright's architectural imagination was wide; he sought the monumental the classic solution. Stylistically he was catholic even erratic. Some of his schools are Italianate some Georgian some rather nondescript; the half-timber of the hospitals and the Marine Park Bath House illustrated here is blatant.Yet in all the work there is counter-trend apparent based on strict practicality and basic simplicity; and some of the municipal work like the Hook and Ladder House No. 1 and the Eustic School both also shown here has a colonial style remarkably pure and charming for its date" - DAB. <br> <br> An unparalleled visual exhibition of Boston civic infrastructure at the close of the 19th century and an important American architectural work. Wheelwright is perhaps best known for being a founding member of the Harvard Lampoon. He later designed the publication's enigmatic Lampoon Castle in 1909. DAB XX pp.61-62.

1898WRCAM54953Puerto Principe Cuba 1898. Broadside 16 1/4 x 12 1/4 inches. Toned old folds and creases minor edge chipping short closed tear slight fold separations. Very good. A very rare possibly unique surviving example of a Cuban broadside dating from the month after the conclusion of the Spanish- American War. The war ceased with a truce between the United States and Spain on August 12 1898; the official end of the war came a few months later on December 10 when the two parties signed the historic Treaty of Paris. Here on September 10 in the interim between truce and treaty the outgoing Spanish colonial governor of the south- central Cuban city of Puerto Principe present-day Camagüey Emilio March y Garcia calls for reinforcement of the truce agreement that would ensure free and open commercial trade in the region in the face of continuing interference by Cuban insurgents. March y Garcia claims that the Cuban revolutionaries are illegally detaining people interrupting the cattle trade trampling property rights carrying arms in flagrant disregard for the law and more. The ARIZONA REPUBLICAN published an English translation of this proclamation in its September 26 1898 issue. The translation reads: <br> <br> "I hereby inform the commanders of insurgent bands who are pillaging in the neighborhood of this city; who not observing the agreement between the Spanish and American governments with regard to the freedom of commercial relations are illegally detaining the country people; who are obliging the land owners to procure special passes and permits in order to put in order their plantations and will not allow them either to sell their cattle under the absurd pretext that the estates are the property of the nominal Cuban state and that its government alone can distribute and sell them and turn their products to what uses it sees fit thus trampling under foot the rights of property whereas on the part of this government the most absolute liberty in making contracts has been allowed and will be allowed in the future thus demonstrating the respect it has for the rights of all persons within its jurisdiction. I must call to notice with real sorrow that if these towns are suffering almost the horrors of starvation it is the result of the measures adopted by the chiefs of the insurgent bands who are impeding free traffic by forbidding the entry of all kinds of provisions especially cattle into the towns. In view of what I have already explained I consider it necessary to publish the following warnings: Article 1. I repeat my order of August 23 last permitting free entry and exit to all towns of this province subject to my authority and the most absolute freedom of trade between all the inhabitants of the province. Article 2. The prohibition to enter towns with arms remains in force and whoever is found with arms in his possession will be punished in accordance with the laws." <br> <br> Don Emilio Augusto March y Garcia Mesa was a career Spanish military commander who spent at least three stretches of time in Cuba the last as military governor of Puerto Principe during the Spanish defeat in the Spanish- American War. He also served as the colonial governor of Puerto Rico and general captain of Arago the Balearic Islands and the Canary Islands. <br> <br> The present broadside is exceedingly rare and quite possibly unique with no copies listed in OCLC and no records at auction. unknown books
