A document which should have rocked the USA to its core but was squelched by the very powers it exposed. In the course of her duties as legal analyst for the Committee, Kathryn Casey was granted access to the archived minutes of the board of directors of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. According to the Committee's Research Director Norman Dodd, it was here that Ms. Casey discovered the board's conclusion that the best way to create world government, and permanent peace, was to involve the United States in a terrible war. The Reece Committee and its findings came to prominence decades later when Norman Dodd, Research Director for the Committee, came forward with stunning revelations of the Committee's findings. Printed for the use of the committee, this booklet contains pages 627-665b from the printed hearings. Includes 20 tables, 12 charts and 10 data sheets. Moderate wear. Unmarked. Crease to lower corner. A sound copy of this powerful document. Book

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original leather bdg. Large roy. 8vo. (25 x 17 cm). In Ottoman script. [1], 555 p. Hegira-Hijri: 1251 = Gregorian: 1835. One of the classic works of the Eastern literature, Kalila and Dimna is a book full of stories and tales written with advice to assist rulers in state administration. The work, which is inspired by Indian-origin Panchatantra tales, was written by Bidpai, Brahman Priest from the Vishnu religious sect, in Kashmir around the 3rd century. The work also known as five books on the art of politics and administration consists of five books on politics and administration each of which is called tantra (the case, right way by which man uses his intelligence). The book was written in Sanskrit language, and it aims to teach wisdom to rulers by means of animal fables. The work was translated into Turkish in the 14th century for the first time. Nasrallah's Persian translation constituted the source text for the translation by Kul Mesut. Kalila and Dimna, titled as Humâyûn-nâme, was presented to the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and Abdulhamid II. It is understood that the work was presented to sultans during the Ottoman's earliest days. Baydaba's masterpiece 'Kalila and Dimna' also was an important narrative used for education of masses. This Indian-origin work was a common work used in the education of the masses in both Iranian and Turkish literatures. This Edition is the First Printed Edition in the Turkish / Ottoman world printed in Bulaq Printinghouse. Özege 8084.

4 volumes in-8° (188 x 122 mm), plein veau marbré de l'époque, dos à 5 nerfs ornés de caissons cloisonnés et fleuronnés, pièces de titre et de tomaison de maroquin bordeaux et havane, filet doré sur les coupes, tranches rouges. Tome I : (1) f., viii, (2), 466 p., (5) p. de privilège et errata - Tome II : (2) f., 407 p. - Tome III : (2) f., 384 p. - Tome IV : (2) f., 455 p., 5 planches par Eisen gravées par Le Grand, de Longueil et Pasquier. Véritable édition originale, la première mise en vente, conforme à la description donnée par J.-A. McEachern (1A) et par Gagnebin (IV, p. 863, n°1), à l'adresse de La Haye et le privilège en hollandais ainsi que le second feuillet d’errata à la fin du tome premier. "L'’Emile' est imprimé et mis en vente fin mai 1762 chez le libraire N.-B. Duchesne à Paris. En homme d’affaires avisé et prudent, celui-ci a pris soin de préparer deux éditions portant chacune une fausse adresse différente: 'Amsterdam, chez Jean Néaulme' pour l'édition in-12° et 'La Haye, chez Jean Néaulme' pour l'in-8° [qui sera la première commercialisée]. En échange de la paternité fictive de ces éditions, Néaulme, libraire à La Haye, reçut le monopole des ventes hors du territoire français" (Sté Internationale des Amis du Musée J.-J. Rousseau). Si l'ouvrage connut un succès commercial immédiat, on trouva dans le livre IV un passage, "la Profession de foi du Vicaire savoyard", qui suscita les foudres du pouvoir civil et religieux. Le 7 juin, la Sorbonne censurait l’ouvrage; le 9 juin le Parlement de Paris emboîtait le pas pour le condamner "à être lacéré et brûlé" en raison de ses "principes impies et détestables". En outre, le Parlement ordonnait "que le nommé J.J. Rousseau sera pris et appréhendé au corps, et amené ès prisons de la Conciergerie du Palais". Rousseau considérait "l' 'Émile" comme son oeuvre la plus importante, celle qui manifestait au mieux les principes de son "système", selon sa propre formule dans 'Rousseau juge de Jean-Jacques'. Quelques traces de restauration à la reliure, auréoles et rousseurs éparses. Petite tache d'encre en marge supérieure des premiers feuillets du t. IV. Bon exemplaire, bien relié à l'époque.
Very Good Russian Original dark green cloth bdg. Oblong folio. (28 x 36 cm). Eight languages of the title on the colophon, the text is completely Russian. [6], [ii], 108 p., [36] maps in various sizes, some of folded: (62x47 cm, 52,5x45,5 cm, 49,5x27 cm [x3], 61x47 cm; other maps are 36x28 cm). Four unnumbered leaves with half-title and contents for each section. Two small millimetric cuttings on two text pages. Ex-owner's name is on the title page. Markings on the index. Otherwise a very good and clean copy. Rare complete and the first atlas including a fine collection of 36 attractive chromo-lithograph maps mostly with tissue papers of the Soviet Union, edited by the Central Executive Committee and Enukidze (1877-1937), who was a prominent Georgian "Old Bolshevik". One of 11000 copies. Being published only 10 years after the USSR was established, this is the earliest atlas of the country. It seems to have been published with a wider audience in mind, with a title page in various European languages. The borders of many areas -including not just administrative regions throughout the USSR, but also entire autonomous republics (especially in Central Asia)- were in a state of flux; as such, the borders in this Atlas (including the wax-paper overlays meant to update various maps with changes made between when they were drawn and when the Atlas was published) often don't look anything like the borders they were set at the end of the Soviet Union and have continued on to modern times. Since the boundaries were often ideologically- (sometimes ethnically-, less so economically-) motivated, this offers an interesting insight into the mindset of the administration that was making these changes.

In-4°; pp. (12), 128, 1 tavola, alcuni legni nel testo. Edizione originale di questo popolare manuale settecentesco di musica barocca. La tecnica musicale che qui Gibel (1612-1682, direttore di musica e cantore a Minden, ricordato anche per aver introdotto la nota con sillaba do in luogo di ut) espone verteva sui problemi di intervallo, temperamento e tonalità e si basava su calcoli aritmetici e geometrici (radice quadrata e cubica, studio delle linee rette, del cerchio ecc.) .

Les feuillets A2, D4, et L5 sont cartonnés. Le livre a été publié, au moins en partie, par Jean-Baptiste Bauche fils, sans nom d’éditeur mais avec la permission tacite du nouveau et libéral directeur de la librairie, Malesherbes bien que l'auteur soit sous le coup d’une lettre de cachet, emprisonné à Vincennes. Diderot y expose ses conceptions novatrices sur la formation du langage et annonce plusieurs de ses théories esthétiques notamment "le modèle idéal", "le sublime" ou "le spectateur de sang-froid", théories qu’il reprendra par la suite dans ses "Salons" ou dans le 'Paradoxe sur le comédien'. (Adams, LH4. Tchemerzine-Scheler, II, 929 notes de L. Scheler). Très bel exemplaire, très frais, grand de marges, imprimé sur papier fort, très bien relié à l'époque.

SUBJECT(S) : Jews -- Education -- New York (State) -- New York. The Hebrew Free School Association was a 19th-century organization that countered efforts of Christian missionaries by founding a group of free schools for New York Citys Jewish immigrant children. In 1864, Christian missionaries had opened a school on the Lower East Side that offered to teach Hebrew to Jewish children, but the offer proved only a lure to convert Jewish children to Christianity. Outraged, a dozen Reform and Orthodox congregations opened a Hebrew free school nearby, with a complete Hebrew studies program that supplemented the standard curriculum of secular public schools. The school was so successful that the organizers formed a Free Hebrew School Association that opened branches in other Jewish neighborhoods. Aside from turning back the threat posed by Christian missionaries, the association, which was made up of successful, Americanized Jews of German origin, became a major instrument for helping newly arrived Jewsmostly from impoverished shtetls and ghettoes of eastern Europeto adapt to their new country. In addition to traditional secular education and studies in the Hebrew language and Jewish religion and history, the schools taught the new arrivals hygiene and other American ways unknown in their homelands. The schools began closing in the 1870s, as the New York public school system expanded and as those Jews who had learned their lessons well emerged from the slums and moved elsewhere to assimilate with other Americans (Encyclopedia of American Education, 2011).

Ensemble de 62 pièces reliées en 4 volumes in-8°, 3 de demi-chagrin vert, dos à nerfs et un de demi-maroquin vert, dos lisse orné d'un décor romantique doré (reliures de l’époque). Précieux recueil de 62 pièces (dont 15 en double), composé en partie de ses propres œuvres, constitué par Charles Lucas pour sa bibliothèque personnelle. Chaque volume est précédé d'un index de sa main. Charles Lucas (1803-1899) est l'homme "qui, sans conteste, pendant le XIXe siècle, a le mieux incarné les ambitions et les ambiguïtés de la réforme pénitentiaire (...) et a fondé la Science des prisons" (J.G. Petit). Il personnifia le libéralisme pénal de la Restauration, jetant les bases d'un système pénitentiaire qui récusait l'emprisonnement perpétuel. Guizot le nomma inspecteur des prisons dès le changement de régime, en 1830. Il demeura trente-cinq ans à ce poste. À partir de 1830, l'engouement pour l'amélioration du système pénitentiaire suscita des centaines d'ouvrages. Charles Lucas se constitua une très riche bibliothèque spécialisée, augmentée des nombreuses brochures que l'inspecteur général des prisons recevait. On trouve ici une importante réunion de 21 plaquettes traitant de la colonie agricole du Val d'Yèvre qu'il avait fondée, en 1841, pour recevoir des jeunes délinquants. Après avoir acheté 140 ha de marais au Val d’Yèvre près de Bourges, Charles Lucas soumit son projet au ministère de l’Intérieur qui ne le retint pas. En 1846, il décida de se lancer personnellement dans "l’aventure". La construction coûta 450.000 francs et l’Etat alloua 80 centimes par jour et par colon qui furent transférés de la prison de Fontevraud dès 1847 : 100 en 1850 puis 400 en 1860. En 1865, Charles Lucas devenu aveugle fut remplacé par son fils docteur en droit. En 1872, la colonie fut louée, puis acquise par l’Etat et "nationalisée". La loi de 1912 sur les tribunaux pour enfants entraîna une réduction progressive des effectifs jusqu’en 1924 pour le Val d’Yèvre ferma définitivement.

A minor chip on the head page. Several plates are missing. A plate was repaired in its period with a good Ottoman blind-stamped paper. Fading on boards. Otherwise a good copy. Extremely rare first edition of this first physics textbook ever published in the Ottoman Empire, including 32 modern physical subjects in 21 chapters with two articles, by early physics and math teachers in the Mühendishâne [i.e. Ottoman Engineering School] Mehmed Emin Dervish Pasha. This work, prepared to be taught in engineering schools, is valuable for its plain expression, variety of the first subjects in the period it deals with, and its content enriched with illustrations. This rare book is very important to be the first textbook to cover the following topics: Ratio of forces to velocities and their effects on objects, centripetal force, lever, pulley, inclined plane, weight, the pressure of liquids, the balance of gases, barometer, manometer, theoretical views on some musical instruments, heat dissipation force of objects, heat increase forces, thermometer, etc. Dervish Pasha also included in his book the pioneering experiments that he had done in Muhendishane, which attracted a lot of attention during his time in the Ottoman scientific society.

ff. 360 (of 361) leaves. Lacks folio Fii (but with xerox facsimiles inserted). First signature detached, and somewhat browned. The title is printed in red and black, and has a central woodcut depicting Mount Parnassus, with the Muses, Bacchus and the temples of Delphi and Apollo. On the verso of the title page are the large woodcut arms of George, Duke of Saxony, showing a powerful knight in frontal view. This woodcut is dated 1514 in the banderole at the knight's head. The blank bottom 2.5" of the title have an old repair. Printed with wide margins in the text, and throughout there are marginal and interlinear Latin notes and comments in black ink by at least two sixteenth-century hands. (The manuscript notes here might reward better scholars than we are with interesting revelations). Folio. 330 mm. Highly decorated and tooled half alum tawed vellumized pig skin over oak boards binding. The spine covering is gone, revealing four double cord raised bands, and remains of an early manuscript used as binder's super. Clasps perished but the brass receivers on the front board are present. Johannes Beuschel was a German neo-latin poet and teacher at the Leipzig university. Probably born at Rothenburg ob der Tauber in the 1470's. From 1504 (and many years thereafter) he was a reader/professor of neo-Latin poetry. He probably died in Leipzig in 1522. Other names associated with him are: Erythropolitanus - Rotenburgensis; Johannes Tuberinus; Johannes Beusselius; Johannes Peussel or Pewschel; etc. He should not be confused with the anti-Jewish writer Johannes Matthias Tiberinus [ca. 1420-1500]. This is apparently an issue of one of the so-called lecture printings (Vortrag-Drucke). Used especially in Leipzig and Erfurt, they were issued in very small quantities for use in the university. Their wide margins were provided for just the sort of annotation seen in this example. They were apparently meant mainly for local sale. As a genre they are rather rare. Of this work we can locate no examples in the U.S. and only a few in Europe. Dedicated to George (the Bearded), Duke of Saxony (1471-1539), who became Duke of Saxony in 1500. He developed decided ability as a ruler. Among other actions, he took measures to suppress the robber-knights, and regulated the judicial system by defining and adjusting the jurisdiction of the various law courts. His court was better regulated than that of any other German prince, and he bestowed a paternal care on the University of Leipzig, where a number of reforms were introduced, and Humanism, as opposed to Scholasticism, was encouraged. The most significant era of his life unfolded after the time of this book, during Luther's Reformation. Most of his political measures, stood the test of experience, but in ecclesiastico-political matters he witnessed with sorrow the gradual decline of Catholicism and the spread of Lutheranism within his dominions, in spite of his earnest efforts and forcible prohibition of the new Protestant doctrine.

In 4°, pp. (2), VIII, 263, (1). Legatura alle armi in pieno marocchino, titolo al dorso, tagli rossi. Le dodici tavole di cui si parla sono la prima codificazione scritta del diritto romano, la cui redazione risale alla metà del V secolo a.C. Questo corpus deriva dai “mores”, cioè l’insieme di leggi che avevano fino allora codificazione orale. Secondo Tito Livio e altre fonti antiche, allo scopo di produrre le dodici tavole, il Senato romano inviò in Grecia una delegazione di ambasciatori per studiare le leggi di Atene e di altre città. Le tavole, non si sa di quale materiale, sarebbero state affisse nel Foro e distrutte nel sacco di Roma del 390 a.C. All’epoca della dissertazione di Stramigioli, abate pesarese, sulla scia delle obiezioni di Vico e della riflessione sul diritto romano apertasi nel XVIII secolo, si era aperto un dibattito secondo il quale i Romani non avrebbero fatto questa spedizione: fra i sostenitori di questa ipotesi troviamo Francesco Maria Ganassoni, al quale lo Stramigioli si rivolge direttamente nelle prime tre sue dissertazioni. Curiosa e originale la quarta dissertazione, nella quale si affronta il tema della nautica e della capacità romana di navigare in epoca romana. Alle sette dissertazioni sulle XII tavole se ne aggiunge un’ottava (“sopra le correnti gramatiche della lingua latina”) in cui l’autore contesta il metodo corrente per insegnare “a’ fanciulli detta lingua col mezzo delle medesime”. 2 According to some studies, the XII plates, i.e. the oldest written codification in Roman law, couldn’t have a Greek source. Stramigioli strongly sustains, in this work, that a Roman delegation was on the contrary sent to Athens, to put together this code. In the fourth dissertation the author address the issue to the Roman ability to sail (and so going to Greece).

Extremely rare 29 issues of the second and third years in two volumes of this rare Hamidian period (1876-1908) Ottoman periodical, devoted to the circulation of contemporary prose and poetry, as well as criticism, Mekteb was edited by Ismail Hakki from 1891 to 1894, followed by Ebülfeyyaz Hakki from 1894-1898. The magazine was a particularly important voice for the Servet-i Fünun [i.e. The Wealth of the Sciences] generation of writers. Weekly; 26 Temmuz 1307 [8 August 1891] - 30 Kanun-i Sanî 1313 [12 February 1898]. This periodical was published by Ottoman-Armenian bookseller, publisher, and printer Karabet Kesisyan Efendi (Garabed Keshishian, 1850-1911), who is a prominent Armenian figure in the history of Ottoman printing. As a prolific and enterprising figure, he was one of the most famous printers of the Hamidian Era (1876-1909). His contributions in this field reflect the sociocultural changes that occurred gradually in the Ottoman Empire in the nineteenth century. His printing house published mostly Turkish language textbooks and became the sole provider for the Turkish military and civil schools from 1889 until the beginning of the twentieth century.
