"Twenty-one short chapters devoted to the corruption of England by the Jews with Israel Zangwill receiving the greatest abuse in chapter nine 'The Daddy of the Lot'" - Singerman 0131. Chapter Four The Learned Elders recounts how the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion are argued to be a forgery derived from an 1865 work by Joly. Crosland claims Joly was a Jew and that "it is far more likely that what he wrote was derived from an earlier version of the Protocols than that the Protocols are derived from his book." - p 31. 6-160 p.

1924441j1248London: John Murray. Good with no dust jacket. 1924. First Edition. Hardcover. "Religion and Communism are incompatible. The Church must be swept out of our path as an obstacle to the progress of culture." - Pravda p. 5. "The more I studied the details of the great attack which the Soviet Government first launched against the Christian Churches in Russia five years ago and which it has continued up to this day the greater and more complex the subject seemed to grow. Finally I decided that it would be better for me to say something even though that something were fragmentary and incomplete than to say nothing; that it would be well for me to record in a less ephemeral and disconnected form than that of newspaper articles the great story of Patriarch Tikhon's fall and Archbishop Cieplak's condemnation. It is of course the Russian Orthodox Church that has borne in the past and that bears now the brunt of the persecution: 28 of its bishops and 1215 of its priests are said to have been put to death." - p. xii. In 1922 Francis McCullagh 18741956 "traveled to Moscow as correspondent for the New York Herald but was expelled in April 1923 after reporting a show trial of Russian catholic priests. He lectured extensively on Bolshevik religious persecution and published his findings about it in this book." - Dictionary of Irish Biography. "A hostile account by a British Roman Catholic journalist who had worked with the Kolchak regime and was present at the trial of the Roman Catholic Archbishop Jan Cieplak in 1923 to which event half the volume is devoted." - Smele 5838. xxi 1 2-401 pp. Index.

17595386Milan: Giuseppe Galeazzi 1759. Hardcover. Near Fine. 8vo 20.2 x 14.4 cm. XXII pp. 352 pp. 8 ff. with 1 large 40 x 50 cm folding plate containing 5 illustrations; title-page printed in red and black engraved device on title. Bound in contemporary publisher's binding title in ink on spine. Minor edge wear minor staining to lower cover. Quires C and E loosening internally very fresh and clean retaining deckle at fore-edge and bottom edge toning to plate marginal paper flaw and rear reinforcement of crease to plate otherwise an excellent copy. Rare first and sole edition of this treatise on the proportional compass written by the Jesuit Giovanni Marchelli. The work was expressly written for the use of Marchelli's mathematics pupils in the Jesuit College of Milan and thus provides interesting evidence for the use of scientific instruments in Jesuit education. The text offers an advanced understanding of Galileo's landmark instrument and coming from a Jesuit it is perhaps notable that Galileo's "invention" of the instrument is so candidly celebrated. The proportional compass or 'sector' in fact combines two separate instruments one for making observations by adding a quadrant to its arms the other to calculate various measures like proportion trigonometry and squares and cube roots. Its several scales permit easy and direct solutions for problems in surveying gunnery and navigation. Conceived as a universal instrument the device was adapted for a variety of pedagogical purposes far more diverse than Galileo's sector ranging from pure geometry to such practical operations as taking measurements for the architectural orders p. 11 converting currency and calculating interest p. 42 performing various 'rule-of-three' operations such as the dissolution of business partnerships p. 53 surveying passim and the construction of Napier tables p. 73. The compass scales are well illustrated and the text includes tables giving the positions of the various markings. The large folding plate provides diagrams "for constructing Galileo's quadrant" that show with great refinement exactly where the markings on the quadrant's arm and tangent are to be engraved. The final chapter deals with military problems such as the determination of the caliber of cannon balls. OCLC locates copies at Adler Planetarium Michigan Oklahoma Woodstock Theological.

Carman D.D. This original Progressive Era dental/medical manuscript documenting the three years of courses lectures and quizzes at the New Orleans College of Dentistry together with Dr. Carman’s visual aid Fletcherism National Mouth Hygiene Association glass plate slide lecture course provide an historically essential group documenting the advances in dentistry dental surgery and oral hygiene in the first 15 years of the 20th- Century. The New Orleans College of Dentistry was founded in 1899 by Drs. Andrew Friedrichs 1857-1921 pioneering oral surgeon and dental specialist; Dr. Louis D. Archinard 1869-1911 an excellent New Orleans dentist focused on offering medical care to the indigent and poor in New Orleans and his brother Dr. John J. Archinard 1870-1909 physician and oral surgeon who was a Spanish-American War veteran. By 1903 the New Orelans College of Dentistry had purchased and outfitted their first building at 831 Carondelet Street where they would operate until a 1908 fire gutted the building forcing the New Orleans College to affiliate and move to Tulane University. Carman 1886-1948 had studied in Houston TX and entered the New Orleans College of Dentistry in 1905 intending to study and learn the latest advances in the field of dentistry. The opening decade of the 20th-Century oversaw tremendous advances including the adapting of electric motorized drills for dentists X-Ray machines for patients awareness of the dangers of bacteria and bacteriological infections new methods of anesthesia for extraction and the revolutionary use of Vulcanized Rubber as base for artificial dentures. The “Index†or contents by Carman detail his divisions and lecture courses into Prosthetic Dentistry including extensive details on Vulcanization Vulcanizing Rubber preparing and constructing bridges and more; Pathology taught by Archinard with emphasis on hereditary diseases descriptions of inflammation assorted diseases necrosis and suppuration; followed by Anatomy - featuring anatomical manikin and original drawings by Carman; as well as Materia Medica Operative Dentistry Physiology Histology by Dr. J.J. Archinard “The Man that Cleaned up Havana Cuba 1898†chemistry metallurgy bacteriology clinical dentistry operative dentistry continued and more. He also includes the dittoed notes on histology with dittoed sections on tooth enamel nervous system tissues retina and crystlline lens and the preparation of tissues for examination with a microscope. Also included in the courses were embryology dental pathology and more. Carman has incorporated the very first test questions as well as printed examples of medical board questionnaires of States from Ohio to Oregon California and the rest of the West. Upon graduation Carman moved to Salt Lake City where he married Nina Richardson 1890-1965 daughter of the first physician in Salt Lake City and operated a successful practice for nearly 40 years out of the “Judge Building†in SLC up to his death of a heart attack in Los Angeles while on vacation. The Tulane School of Dentistry over seen by Dr. Friedrichs operated at Tulane until June 1928 emphasizing oral hygiene and continuing the original mission of providing care to the poor. Unfortunately it always teetered on the brink of financial ruin and closed in 1928. Horace Fletcher 1849-1919 was known during the Victorian and Progressive Eras as “The Great Masticator†and was a well known and influential food and health quackery specialist and author self-promoter and fanatic on his doctrine of “Fletcherism†which believed that all food had to be deliberately masticated and chewed until it turned to liquid. These glass plate slides emphasize and promote his four main advisories on chewing and swallowing but also the results of examining school children’s teeth in Andover MA indicating that nearly 60% of the children had poor or rotting teeth. Slides show the teeth of young children X-Rays of the skulls abscesses proper brushing and care of teeth with two specifically showing entire classrooms properly brushing their teeth.

183346404463Paris, Le Magasin Pittoresque, 1833-1882 ; 50 volumes in-4, demi-basane brune, dos lisses ornés, titre et année en lettre dor. au dos, filets dorés, tranches jaspées. (Reliures de l’époque). RARISSIME COLLECTION COMPLÈTE DE LA PREMIÈRE SÉRIE EN RELIURES UNIFORMES. Edouard Charton (Sens 1807 - Versailles 1890) a commencé sa carrière de publiciste dans les revues saint-simoniennes Le Globe et Le Journal de la doctrine de Saint-Simon. Il rompt avec les Saint-Simoniens en 1831 et fonde Le Magasin Pittoresque en 1833 avec l’imprimeur saint-simonien Lachevardière sur le modèle du Penny magazine anglais. D’abord hebdomadaire, la revue devient mensuelle en 1850 puis bi-mensuelle. Le premier numéro annonce le projet : “Le Magasin pittoresque, revue illustrée bon marché, a pour ambition d’intéresser et d’instruire, tout en les distrayant, ceux qui n’ont ni les moyens financiers ni les loisirs de le faire”. Les articles sont confiés aux plus grands spécialistes, chaque livraison aborde les différents domaines du savoir : Beaux-Arts, sciences et techniques, géographie, archéologie, etc. Charton assumait seul le contenu de la revue, corrigeant chaque article avant publication. Dans cette première série aucun article n’est signé mais les collaborateurs sont connus : Darondeau, Reynaud, Souvestre, Carnot, Cazeaux, Charton, Fortoul, Aicard, V. de Joncières, Pauline Roland, R. Töpffer, Transon, Alby, Urbain, Alexandre de Saint-Chéron, Morville ou encore George Sand, Camille Flammarion ou Eugène Delacroix. Le succès de cette revue fut considérable dès les premiers numéros et suscita de nombreuses vocations, ainsi l’égyptologue François Joseph Chabas (1817-1882), un négociant en vins à Châlons-sur-Saône qui découvre l’égyptologie en 1852 dans le Pittoresque, grâce aux articles de Nestor Lhôte. Sand, Balzac ou encore Zola revendiquent cette revue didactique comme source importante de leur œuvre.Mais c’est en tant que revue illustrée que Le Magasin Pittoresque demeure inégalée, Charton considérait qu’une illustration abondante et de qualité était essentielle à son projet d’éducation populaire. Pour donner une si nombreuse illustration en maintenant un prix modique, Charton fit appel à la gravure sur bois qui avait presque disparu en France à cette époque. Les graveurs français ne pouvant fournir tant de planches à une revue hebdomadaire, il fit appel pour les premiers numéros à des graveurs anglais. Par la suite, grâce au succès de la revue, les ateliers parisiens revinrent à ce genre délaissé. Parmi les illustrateurs Grandville a donné de nombreux dessins (voir à ce sujet Renonciat Grandville p. 295) ou encore G. Doré (v. H. Leblanc Catal. de l'Oeuvre de G. Doré. p. 227)Le Magasin Pittoresque a occupé l’essentiel de la vie d’Edouard Charton. Bien que sa revue n’ait jamais abordé les questions politiques il était un Républicain fervent et fut élu dans l’Yonne à deux reprises en 1848 et 1871. Il fut aussi l’un des fondateurs de la revue d’actualité l’Illustration en 1842.Rare collection complète de cette première série en reliure uniforme de l’époque. Bel exemplaire frais, les reliures sont en bon état.
