1860ABC_48873Bahia 1860. 8vo in 4s ca. 21.5 x 14 cm. Typographia de Camillo de Lellis Masson & C. Later half brown sheepskin spine with 2 red morocco title labels lettered in gold blue marbled paper sides brown and purple patterned endpapers. VIII 53 1 blank pp. Rare second edition of a pamphlet by the Brazilian lawyer and politician José Joaquim Landulfo da Rocha Medrado 1831-1860 published under his initials L. M. = Landulfo Medrado. According to the authors preface the first edition was not distributed to the public. In 1882 a third edition was published Bahia Imprensa Economica and in 1923 a fourth edition appeared Bahia Imprensa Oficial do Estado.In this pamphlet titled The courtiers and the Emperor's journey. Political essay on the situation Medrado offered a pointed critique of the Brazilian monarchy's tendency to adopt European courtly customs. He argued that these customs were ill-suited to Brazil's unique position as an American nation. Medrado believed that Brazil required a more democratic and parliamentary form of governance one that moved away from the concentration of power in the hands of the Emperor. Instead he advocated for a system where elected representatives would have a more prominent role in shaping the nation's future.This pamphlet reflects the broader political tensions of the time with liberals like Medrado pushing for reforms that would align Brazil's governance with its distinct identity rather than imitating European aristocratic traditions. In 1860 the Brazilian magazine Monarchia - Democracia issued a critique of the pamphlet arguing that the pamphlet's anonymous author avoids responsibility for promoting dangerous ideas that could destabilize Brazil. It defends the nation's democratic and monarchical institutions warning that the pamphlet's divisive ideas threaten Brazil's unity and future.With the large book plate of the Brazilian journalist Elysio de Carvalho 1880-1925 mounted on the front pastedown with a blue stamp in the bottom margin of the book plate "Y 4 120".

1883170791London: Bernard Quaritch 1883. Myths are history not yet developed First edition of this ambitious work of comparative religion delineating the continuities between world cultures throughout human history. Among the civilizations and religions it covers are the Babylonians Zoroastrians Ancient Greeks and Romans Hindus Buddhists and cultures from across Scandinavia Polynesia and Africa. The publication was issued to subscribers only. An engineer by training Forlong's 1824-1904 interest in world religions stemmed from his time in Asia serving as a Major General in the Indian Army. He categorized all religions into six types of worship: tree phallic serpent fire sun and ancestor. These types formed "streams" flowing throughout human culture with their progression and interactions here visualized in the large accompanying chart. Forlong's interpretations and his abandonment of Christianity were scandalous to many particularly his emphasis on the sexual nature of religious symbolism but his work was influential among such as Helena Blavatsky and Aleister Crowley who described it as "an invaluable textbook of old systems of initiation" Crowley p. 211. 2 quarto text vols 278 x 221 mm and linen-backed chromolithographic folding chart 236 x 65 mm; "A Student's Synchronological Chart of the Religions of the World".
