Frank was a Minister of the Third Reich and Governor General of those areas of Poland occupied by Nazi Germany which were not incorporated into the Reich. At the International Military Tribunal in Nuremberg for the first time in the history of the world thousands of secret documents were revealed belonging to a state in the grip of the imperialist idea of world conquest. Among those documents Hans Frank's Diary occupies one of the leading positions both on account of its contents and on account of its more than ordinary length: 11000 typwritten pages in foolscap making up 38 volumes. Any study of the history of the last war must include a reading of Hans Frank's Diary." - Preface. Author was a member of the Polish delegation to the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg.

1933163j1671London: Elliot Stock. Good. 1933. Second Impression. Paperback. "As a protest against those Statesmen and bankers who have asserted that 'No one could possibly have foretold the present World Crisis' Great Depression I and a few others have urged the republication of Mr. Arthur Kitson's Criticism of the Cunliffe Currency Committee's Report the recommendations of which the Lloyd George Coalition Government adopted. This Criticism was originally printed at the expense of Mr. Kitson and copies furnished to every member of that committee in January 1919 before the committee had made its final report. It will be seen that Mr. Kitson gave ample warnings of the inevitable results of the committee's recommendations and foretold the present crisis." - A.F. on page 7. "Arthur Kitson 1859-1937 was a British monetary theorist and inventor. He formed the Economic Freedom League with Frederick Soddy and was active in this venture through the 1920s. He became convinced Jewish bankers were the cause of his 1925 bankruptcy and most of the world's miseries. He sent Ezra Pound a copy of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion even before Pound changed from a money radical to a notorious anti-Semite. By the time of his death Kitson was the second most influential fascist in Britain the first being Oswald Mosley. In his late years he was brought to Germany to consult with Nazi Party economists." - Wikipedia. 4 102 pp. Stated second impression.

Printer's device on title page. With Greek inscription in ink on title page occasional ink marginalia and with a page of inked notes written in Latin in an early hand on blank verso of final leaf. Leaf 3r with an inexpert but endearing pen-and-ink drawing of a rider on a galloping horse below the dedication with some pencilled embellishments around it; A4r with an ink-drawn small face in one margin. EDIT 16 CNCE 23145; Gehl "Advertising or fama: local markets for schoolbooks in sixteenth-century Italy" in Costas ed. "Print Culture and Peripheries in Early Modern Europe" 2012. Corners a little bumped boards lightly chafed title page a bit soiled and browned four leaves affected by the same small burn hole a handful of words partially obscured another leaf with very small damage from ink burn-through occasional faint foxing or minor ink stains but still a pleasing copy the binding perfectly satisfactory and the interior with no major defects the historical charm of the annotations compensating for any blemishes they cause.<br/> <br/> This is the first and only printing of a scarce textbook on rhetoric by a Perugian professor of the subject charmingly decorated and annotated by an early--not very attentive--pupil. In the 16th century the market for textbooks tended to be regional. Schools and teachers wanted works produced by local scholars and printers a preference Gehl relates to their earlier reliance on manuscripts shared and recopied by the teachers who used them. He notes that "Perugia . . . had a particularly lively market for learned books that lasted from the early days of printing right into the 17th century" and local professors were a ready resource for publishers like Andrea Bresciano.<br /> <br /> In the present work Saxus ca. 1499-1574 a pupil of the great Perugian humanist Francesco Maturanzio 1443-1518 outlines the principles of persuasion giving examples of the various rhetorical devices and modes citing classical sources. According to Gehl our author "was an innovator . . . who made a serious attempt to facilitate learning by catering to the limited attention span of students and by including teaching tips to grammar masters." We have evidence of what he was up against in regard to the former in the doodles of a prior owner of this text who was apparently dreaming of galloping away from the classroom on a trusty if seemingly headless steed. On another page the face of a master or fellow student peers critically from a margin. But some attention was paid as shown by the notes at the end of the book. <br /> <br /> Saxus' writings never managed to break into the major markets of Rome and Venice but continued to be printed after his death in Florence and Perugia where Gehl says "he could be considered a regional celebrity" whose former students used his textbooks to teach their own classes. We could trace just one copy of this work in auction records. ex officina Andreae Brixiani unknown

We could not locate much more information on him in the sources available to us. The present work gives detailed instructions and diagrams for kindergarten students studying the Froebel gifts with colorful illustrated examples. According to the preface: "There is no Kindergarten occupation more pleasing and interesting to children than that of paper-folding … This little work is intended to show how the paper-folding occupation lends itself to the cultivation of the designing powers in children." It is also noted that "Juniors" can use this book as preparation for the study of geometry. The A.L. Educational Series focused on children's creativity and learning-through-play concept that was one of the central tenets of Froebel's educational method. Other titles in the series include Guide to the Drawing Examinations 1892 by D.E. Hillier and Paper-Flower Making 1897 by I.A. Williamson.</p> E.J. Arnold & Son, hardcover
1867List3419Morganton North Carolina 1867. Manuscript document measuring 5 ¼ x 8 inches. Near Fine. An 1867 document confirming the receipt of $1000 for building a school for freed African Americans in Morganton North Carolina. The document reads:<br /> <br /> “$1000<br /> Morganton N.C.<br /> Dec’r 16th 1867<br /> Received of Major Hannibal D. Norton Sub-ass’t Com’r Bureau R.F. A.L. One Thousand dollars in full for erecting a School-building on land purchased by Freedmen in Morganton N.C. as per contract dated August 31 1867.<br /> Check No. 1135 on Raleigh Nat B’k<br /> for $1000.00 signed by Bt Lt Col J. A. Claywell / Jesse Strabo Nelson<br /> T. P. Johnson C.Q.M. D.O. S.N.C.â€<br /> <br /> Brevet Lt. Col. Thomas P. Johnson appears in other North Carolinian Freedmen’s Bureau documents; the abbreviation after his name likely stands for Chief Quartermaster and Disbursing Officer State of North Carolina. The two witnesses Claywell likely James Addison and Nelson were both active in the Methodist church; Claywell was superintendent of the Morganton Methodist Sunday School and Nelson a Methodist reverend. Neither man’s obituary mentions any involvement with the Freedmen’s Bureau.<br /> <br /> The school is not identified by any name but is mentioned in a March 1868 report by Hannibal Norton the Freedmen’s Bureau agent. The building was located at Union and Water now Bouchelle Streets and hosted three schools day night and Sabbath; had one teacher an African American man named Joseph Nicholas; and was paid for by the students’ parents. The report describes difficulty in raising money to pay for more buildings teachers and books and notes that “The public sentiment is adverse to the education of Freedmen and Poor Whites.â€1 Given the area’s poverty indicated by Norton’s report the fundraising by formerly enslaved people to buy land for the school must have taken remarkable effort and sacrifice—education was a critical cause for African Americans and significant progress was made during Reconstruction in spite of poverty and violent backlash.<br /> <br /> 1 “North Carolina United States records†images FamilySearch https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9TC-6PJVview=explore image 104 of 567; United States National Archives and Records Administration.
