1921426j0875Kansas City Missouri: Burton Publishing Company Publishers. Good with no dust jacket. 1921. First Edition. Hardcover. "I have written this little volume in the faith that in the last analysis the average American citizen believes in fair play and is not afraid of shadows or of Bogey Men. I have tried to be judicial in both defense and criticism of the Jew but if I have shown some acerbity in my criticisms of his detractors the justice of the cause which this book represents and the illiberality and unfairness of the latest attack upon the Jew must be my apology." - Introduction. "If our critic really is concerned about 'menaces' to our great and glorious country let him tackle the Negro problem." - page 96.

1945426j0048New York: Harper & Brothers Publishers. Good. 1945. First Edition. Hardcover. "The infamous Morgenthau Plan charted a course for Germany post WWII intended to revert it to a pastoral state. Senator Henrick Shipstead denounced it as "America's eternal monument of shame for the destruction of the German people." - Congressional Record Senate May 15 1946 p.5039. Morgenthau's "punishment policy deeply betrayed the will of the American people against indiscriminate vengeance which had been demonstrated in the nationwide condemnation of the Morgenthau Plan." - James Bacque on page 158 of 'Other Losses'. "The Morgenthau Plan would wipe out everything in Germany except land and the Germans would have to live on the land.

"One of the most important autobiographies of the post-war period for there can be few personalities still alive who have been so intimately connected with the march of world events for so many years.

As the Nazi avalanche swelled Hitler persuaded him to occupy the Presidential chair at the Reichsbank. but Schacht soon saw that the Fuhrer was driving relentlessly towards war.

1932227a8341New York: Liveright Inc. 1932. Book. Fair. Hardcover. First Edition. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 375 pages. Index. "When I began my study I looked upon Woodrow Wilson as the villain of the ensuing drama. As I proceeded to delve into the debris of reminiscences and unwritten history he gradually assumed some aspects of a martyr and a saint. There was a time when there was no one in the world whom I distrusted more than Edward Mandell House. Today he seems to me a genuine philosopher and a gifted statesman. Even if his good intentions like Wilson's have helped to pave mankind's way to hell they gave us a glimpse of the Promised Land where peace abides and a new sanction governs the fate of nations." - xiv. It is commonly believed that Colonel House was in fact a Rothschild agent assigned the task of seeing the Federal Reserve Act brought into law thus privatizing the issuance of American money again.

"England thanks to the Huguenots Mr. Cobden the Slave Trade the Jews and an inherent capacity for taking large views of grave national questions has been the last country in all the world to question or even to examine the doctrine that uninterrupted ingress for men women and merchandise of other nations is essential to and advantageous to her national life. There are however no longer wanting signs that the reign of this dogma is not to continue without challenge." - Introduction. "In 1881 and 1882 a violent if somewhat intermittent persecution had been directed against the Jews in Russia. Realizing as best they could such poor possessions as they owned and departing with all possible haste the expatriated wretches made every attempt to reach a more hospitable land: those who could muster the passage-money were bound for America; the rest the more destitute and the elderly ones the great majority of the exodus were hoping to settle in the great English towns." - p 168-169. 8191 pages.

"A searching analysis of some of America's most powerful tax-exempt foundations their actions as opposed to their stated purposes the interlocking groups of men who run them and their influence on the country at large. The author as counsel to the Reece Committee which investigated foundations for the last Republican Congress gained a unique insight into the inner workings of the various Rockefeller Carnegie and Ford-created giants. He also witnessed the intense and powerful opposition to any investigation of these multibillion-dollar public trusts." - front flap. "Contributes the philosophical and juridical reflections of this distinguished lawyer based upon the material our committee disclosed and upon other data which have appeared since the closing of our inquiry. Wormser discusses problems of foundation administration and control which are grave indeed and has rendered a great service in preparing this sober and thoughtful work." - Preface. "A tremendously scholarly work. Not only demands importance due to its strict adherence to truthful and factual documentation but is absolutely essential for understanding why American society is in the shape it is in politically as well as economically." - online review by A.M. Robbins. "Packed with information on foundations and the effect they've had on our political policies and education system as well as medicine and the media. It is startling to understand how socialism has silently been pushed on us through the money of these foundations. This book was written in 1958 and it is easy to see in 2020 how they are accomplishing their goal of turning the United States into a socialist nation." - online review. xx 412 pp. Index.

1843ST20896London: William Pickering and John W. Parker and Son 1843-57. Second Edition of volumes I III V VI VIII XI XV XVII. Third Edition of volume II. FIRST EDITIONS of the other 13 volumes. 170 x 103 mm. 6 3/4 x 4 1/8". 22 volumes bound as 13. <br/> Pleasing contemporary calf by Leighton stamp-signed on verso of front flyleaf covers framed with a double blind rule raised bands spine compartments with a single gilt sun tool russet morocco labels lettered in gilt all edges sprinkled. First volume with one plate depicting the brain and one illustration in the text depicting the brains of different animals.<br /> Final volume with an ad for the complete series by John W. Parker. A few light scratches scuffs and spots to leather each volume with offset from ribbon page marker other trivial defects but a fine and attractive set--extraordinarily fresh and clean internally in bindings essentially without wear.<br/> <br/> Containing a rarely seen complete run of 22 separate works in 13 volumes this attractive set represents the joint efforts of a female Victorian polymath and major publisher William Pickering to introduce the general public to a very wide range of subjects partly to contribute to general popular education and partly to alert the public to the need for reform. Caroline Cornwallis 1786-1858 was a writer scholar and feminist activist whose life-long self-directed course of study led her to explore subjects as diverse as mineralogy theology Tuscan law and the Ancient Egyptian language. In 1842 the first work in the "Small Books on Great Subjects" series appeared authored anonymously by Cornwallis she is named only as "A Pariah" and the editorship of the series is credited to "A Few Well-Wishers to Knowledge". Along with initiating and editing the series Cornwallis composed all but four of the books herself the second and third numbers were written by John Barlow #15 by Wilhelm von Humboldt and #16 by David Power. The works cover philosophy psychology chemistry Greek philosophy Christian history and theology biology law grammar geology politics and more and proved to be a great success in Britain and America. Some of the volumes are histories of general interest "A Brief View of Greek Philosophy up to the Age of Pericles" and "Christian Sects in the Nineteenth Century"; others are of significant scientific content "The Connection Between Physiology and Intellectual Philosophy" and "On Man’s Power Over Himself to Prevent or Control Insanity; still others are strongly reformist in thrust "On the Principles of Criminal Law" decrying the harshness of punitive Victorian laws and "On the Philosophy of Ragged Schools" dealing with the pressing issue of educating London's poor. Initially "Small Books on Great Subjects" was published by William Pickering but upon his 1853 bankruptcy John W. Parker took over the series. Stray volumes of this series are readily available but complete sets especially in the condition seen here are much more difficult to find. William Pickering (and John W. Parker and Son) unknown

18434025Berkeley: T.R. Marvin 1843. First edition. Very Good . Original publisher's cloth binding with gilt to front board. Minor loss of cloth to crown of spine. Faint residue of removed library label to spine and front board. Peach endpapers. Light scattered foxing as is typical of the period. Inscribed on the front endpaper by Ward's husband the compiler: "Reverend Mr. Ellingwood with the respects of J.W. Ward." Bookplate on the front pastedown reveals that the recipient Rev. Ellingwood went on to donate the volume to the Theological Seminary of Bangor Maine. A scarce and important example of a published American elegiac volume produced in this case by an eminent family to mourn the loss of an educated woman. Memoirs is unrecorded by OCLC and has never appeared at auction. <br /> <br /> In their marriage James Wilson Ward and Hetta Lord Hayes Ward united two prominent Northeastern families. A senator and Congregationalist minister James descended from the founders of Plymouth and had attended Andover and Amherst. Hetta the daughter of a judge and niece of a Dartmouth president was herself a graduate of Miss Grant's Seminary Academy. The present volume released "exclusively for private circulation among the friends of the deceased" is a testament to Hetta's value not as a daughter who married well or a wife who effectively managed a house but as a companion an intellectual and an individual. In this sense it deconstructs the period's expectations of separate spheres or hierarchy between sexes. With an opening letter by Susan Hayes Hetta's mother as well as a copy of the eulogy conducted by her husband the book reveals vast details about who Hetta was as a person. Both describe her as tender and affectionate; but time and again emphasis is placed on her mind. Though Hetta was skillful with a needle as a child according to her mother "her numberless questions interested and surprised me.She acquired a fondness for poetry.She became as much interested in the in the study of the exact sciences as in the works of imagination making herself acquainted with the higher branches of Mathematics Algebra Geometry etc." James similarly eulogizes his wife. What becomes clear is that he is grieving the loss of a companion and equal. "If we have found a friend of distinguished excellence and for years rejoiced with that friend in mutual interchange and warm affections it is natural when death intervenes and separates us from the dear object of our love to contemplate their virtues.First characteristic which I would notice which she possessed in an eminent degree is an ardent love of truth.She possessed great powers of abstraction.She saw with great clearness the point of an argument and was quick to distinguish between sophistry.She loved to trace the workings of the human mind." Not satisfied simply to have their own testaments to Hetta's extraordinary mind the compilers included to the last half of the book a collection of her own poetry and prose.<br /> <br /> A scarce work in a genre underappreciated in American literature and history. Such coterie publications of intimate mourning were uncommon for the time particularly for a woman.<br /> <br /> National Cyclopedia of American Biography 148. Very Good . T.R. Marvin unknown

18223447Great Britain 1822. Comprised of 78 manuscript pages of mathematical definitions tables methods and exercises in a single hand with the ownership signature of Elizabeth Young and a running date made intermittently to the footers. Blue paper vernacular binding measuring 8 x 12 inches and stitched at spine; later tape reinforcement. Elizabeth's metric measurements and English currency reveal her to be a student somewhere in the UK. Though the commonness of her name prevents us from locating her specifically in genealogy records the manuscript she left behind reveals much about her.<br/><br/>Elizabeth's notebook is composed in a meticulous cursive hand with neat headers each dated and her name to many of the footers. Section each have a definition leading into rules and from there into word problems and calculations. Each new section progresses in complexity requiring Elizabeth to conduct longer calculations and combine a variety of arithmetical methods multiplication division addition subtraction. Some of these are generic questions about distance or weight; but others urge the student to devotion even as she works in a logical field "How many Hours Minutes and Seconds elapsed since the birth of Christ which is 1808 years ago assuming 365 days to a year". Some put Elizabeth in contact with the world of commerce and supply chain "The yearly export of Brandies from France is said to amount to 25000 tons. What is the value of this quantity at 5s6p per Gallon". Still others prepare her for the maintenance and management of a household or a business "If a servant's wages be 12.12 for 52 weeks how much is that a year" or "If 1728 Elegant wine glasses were bought for £65.2s how must they be sold per dozen or per glass to gain Ten Guineas by the sale of the whole".<br/><br/>A portion of seven pages near the center of the book offers a telling anomaly. While it continues in Elizabeth's neat hand these entries from January-February 1822 list goods purchased by community members from merchants several of whom are women. If these are a part of a school exercise they do not show the marks of it. Rather they appear to be Elizabeth making real-life notations keeping track of accounts for herself or someone else. In this sense the word problems she records and practices are being applied in her own life.<br/><br/>An exceptional document Elizabeth's notebook has research possibilities including but not limited to the history of education in the UK and trans-Atlantic comparisons the history of women's education the effects of class on girls' education mathematics approaches to teaching math to girls historical measurements women in business paleography and women's and gender studies. unknown books
