"In this volume the author endeavors to give an accurate history of the present National Bank System of currency including an account of the first United States Bank - both of which were borrowed from Great Britain by those statesmen who like the father of Sir Robert Peel believed that a national debt was the source of prosperity. It is believed that the facts adduced in the following pages will be productive of some good in pointing out the immense evils lurking in that system of banking - a system which has produced panics at will and which is the active abettor of the stock gamblers railroad wreckers and those industrial tyrants of modern times the enormously overcapitalized and oppressive trusts. It is sought to point out the great dangers of delegating purely government powers to these greedy monopolists by which they are enabled to organize a money trust far more tyrranical than all the other combinations now in existence; and by which they absolutely defy the authority that endowed them with corporate life." - from Introduction.

"In the following pages I speak of Russian affairs with the experience of an observer who has lived from early boyhood among the Russian people and has shared with them their joys and sorrows. Since her collapse Russia has become the focus of social unrest throughout the world. Bolshevism - a foe more deadly to our civilization than German Militarism - cannot be effectively combated unless we understand the circumstances of its origin and working indissolubly connected with the so-called Russian Revolution - a Revolution that has still to justify its name. The questions that have been put to me so often will rise to the readers' lips - What is Bolshevism and Why did the Russians succumb to its influence. This book answers these questions in full." - from Preface.

18086471Guadalajara: Apud Mariannum Valdez Tellez Giron 1808. Good. Three stitched fascicles totaling 30 manuscript leaves and fifteen printed broadsides and broadsheets completed both in manuscript and in type. Some folded. Straight vertical cuts from foot of one fascicle. Some dust soiling and toning; scattered damp staining and foxing. A few separations along folds of printed sheets. Head of some printed sheets trimmed away effecting some loss. A fascinating combination of printed and manuscript material relating to the completion of Baccalaureate requirements for degrees in divinity from the University of Guadalajara in the early 19th century. Present here are three stitched fascicles each relating to a different student that contain manuscript attestations from the candidates themselves and university professors to the individual's achievements as well as printed copies of their degrees and other official documents from the university bestowing honors upon their recipients. Each recipient was conferred a copy of their degree completed in manuscript and affixed with the printed seal of the university attesting that after four years in the study of "Sacrae Theologiae" he had achieved the rank of Baccalaurens. Then the three students Gabriel Sanchez Leñero Joaquin de Valdecañas and Miguel de Talaveras received different printed broadsheets completed to varying degrees in type and in manuscript according to their specific studies an accomplishments. In all we identify eleven different printed forms and broadsheets none of which are located by Medina or OCLC. Most bear the imprint of Mariano Valdes Tellez Giron the first printer of Guadalajara who worked alone in the city from 1793 to his death from an epileptic seizure at the end of 1807 making the present job work some of the last printing completed by this important printer. Some of the broadsheets printed on two joined leaves and folded into each fascicle have been trimmed at the head with the loss of some material including engraved illustrations. Nevertheless the present documents represent a trove of previously unrecorded early job printing from Guadalajara. Apud Mariannum Valdez Tellez Giron unknown

16759Women's Education Movement. Pamphlet/ Volume 14 of 17: Acts for the State of Massachusetts January 12th Session 1804 Incorporation of Bradford Academy Containing the original incorporation of Bradford Academy. Bradford opened as the first coeducational institution in Massachusetts but due to overwhelming interest from parents of girls with no other option for education Bradford soon transitioned to become the first all-female academy in Massachusetts and among the first in the United States in 1836. Only three examples of these early Incorporation Acts could not be found among Institutional Collections according to OCLC Worldcat. <br/><br/>Women's colleges proliferated in the mid- to late- 19th century to fill the void created by their exclusion from most institutions of higher education. The prevailing notion that women were too delicate for a rigorous academic education was openly challenged when Elizabeth Cady Stanton spoke at the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 "Man's intellectual superiority cannot be a question until woman has had a fair trial.When we shall have had our colleges our professions our trades for a century a comparison then may be justly instituted." Young women were quick to step up to the challenge; as quickly as female colleges opened they filled up. But this document predates Seneca Falls by 40 years and Bradford was among the very first institutions to educate women in the United States. unknown books

"The Aphorismes of the Kingdom" Thomason E.24026 and "The Commission of Array" Thomason E.24027.</p><p>The Thomason catalog is a collection of approximately 22000 books and pamphlets made by the London bookseller George Thomason between 1661 and 1662 documenting the political struggles between Parliament and the Crown during the Civil Wars Revolution and Restoration. An annotation on the Thomason copy reads "Printed 6 October 1642 at London by Allen in Popes head alley". The Allen referred to is undoubtedly the London bookseller & printer Benjamin Allen who was active from 1631 until his death in 1646. Located in Popes head Alley he published much of the political and theological literature of the period.</p><p>In the lead up to the first English Civil War Charles I and the parliament clashed over control of the armed forces. The King revived the medieval "Commission of Array" forcing local lords to raise troops for the Royal cause. This pamphlet is often attributed to Willam Prynne 1600-1669 who had been freed from prison in 1640. His persecution by the government of King Charles I and the Church of England escalated the antagonisms between the King and Parliament in the years preceding the English Civil Wars.</p><p>This anti-Royalist pamphlet is also anti-Church. The concluding pages 55-60 titled "Englands Tragedie" compare the antagonism between Parliament and the King to the "War in Heaven" as described in Revelation 12.</p> [London: Allen in Popes head Alley, October 6], [1642.] paperback
