1968163j2033New York: Chedney Press. Very Good in Good dust jacket. 1968. First Edition. Hardcover. "This is the story of the true-to-life prototype of Ian Fleming's Goldfinger. The truth in this instance is stranger more menacing and frightening than fiction. The key figures pose as 'philanthropists' and are unsuspected.

Argues that "the Rothschild-Vatican cabal of the nineteenth century has been replaced by a conspiratorial alliance of the Rockefellers Jesuits and Illuminists-Communists intent upon the dictatorship genocide and enslavement of mankind." - Singerman 1186. 2 374 pages.

1942429j2653London: The Economic Reform Club. Good with No dust jacket as issued. 1942. Second Reprint. Paperback. "Trade in money itself in all its ramifications has become very literally the root of all evil and it is natural to aim at a millennium in which it will have totally disappeared. But there are so many states before we can get near such a millennium that very much consideration of this distant and puzzling ideal may be a waste of time. Civilisation is so behind-hand in monetary science while so advanced in other sciences that we had better be content with working for a system which will at any rate diminish the evil a system of solvency instead of a system of debt." - p. 98.

"We present herewith the Honest Money Year Book and Directory for 1940.

While tremendous strides have been made much can be done to make the monetary reform movement more effective. This book has been published in an attempt to co-ordinate the various efforts. Those in control of the private money power always seem to agree perfectly among themselves while the myriads of money reformers act like the historical 'Babylonians' each speaking in a different toungue - in utter confusion. The money power has always tried to keep it so because the effectivelness of united groups of money reformers would soon destroy the solidarity of the money monopoly." - Preface.

1949112j2666London: William Hodge and Company Limited. Fair with no dust jacket. 1949. First Edition. Hardcover. "The record of this trial which follows is the verbatim official record. Much of it is a translation from German and it has only been edited where necessary to make the meaning clear: it pretends to no literary elegance. It is hoped that in this way it reflects better the atmosphere of the trial and the extempore speeches and questions and answers." - Preface. "This report is being published not to encourage a morbid interest nor to keep alive feelings of ill-will against our late enemies. But because the horror through which the world passed in those dark years of WWII was not just a nightmare which cannot recur but is something against which the collective conscience and alert vigilance of mankind asserting the rule of law in international affairs as in municipal ones must protect us. The Natzweiler concentration camp record is terrible." - Foreword. Wikipedia reports that the Natzweiler-Struthof Nazi concentration camp located on territory annexed from France in 1940 held 52000 prisoners between 1941 and 1944 approximately 22000 of whom are estimated to have died at the camp and its sub-camps.

18285421London: T. Birt 1828. First edition. Single sheet measuring 250 x 185mm and printed in two columns to recto. Some edgewear to margins not affecting text; a bit of foxing and toning largely confined to margins. A scarce and delicate survivor OCLC documents only one example at the National Library of Scotland. The present is the only example on the market.<br /> <br /> The Dandy Wife is narrated by a man who aimed "to choose me out a loving wife" at the age of twenty-one but whose experience becomes a warning to "all young men of high renown": "If you want a tidy wife Beware of a boarding school." What unfolds is a satire of how the marriage economy is affected when women have access to knowledge -- intellectual and physical -- and how by meeting a man's superficial expectations a woman can fulfill her own more pressing needs.<br /> <br /> Thinking that a boarding school girl will have the innocence submissiveness and domestic skill he desires the narrator selects a wife from among their ranks. Thinking only of what he can obtain from such a bargain he is unprepared for what an educated woman brings into his house. The Dandy Wife he describes understands the commodity value of her own beauty and material adornment and that these are her key means for acquiring wealth of her own. "She takes one-half of what I earn In drinking gin and tea; Besides such frills and furbelows My Dandy Wife does wear.Her sleeves upon her dandy gown Oh! Lack they're such a size You'd think they were two balloons that in the air would rise." Aside from staying on par with fashion trends her clothing assists her in avoiding domestic tasks she abhors. She refuses to do laundry more than monthly and through ridiculous cooking failures she rapidly establishes that the kitchen is not a showcase for her skillset. Accustomed to a life of learning she is not trained to conduct domestic business. <br /> <br /> By the ballad's end it becomes clear that the Dandy Wife was savvier in managing a marriage than her husband was. For not only does her superior intellect help her carve out a more satisfying role but she also has physical knowledge that predates him: "The day that I was married I thought I'd got a charming maid But I was much deceived.For scarce five months we'd married been When she had a darling son.
