Chaux also played an important role in the barbaric act of sending 132 Nantais to Paris under cruel conditions. On September 3 1794 Carrier was put on trial before the Revolutionary Tribunal. He was found guilty and was executed in December. Pierre Chaux was arrested in July of 1794 for the role he played in the drownings. He appeared before the Tribunal in October 1794 and was convicted. He was the beneficiary of the amnesty of October 26 1795 decided by the Thermidorian Convention. The two pamphlets at hand were published in order to present his case to the convention. The first is signed in print by Chaux at Angers and dated September 19 1795. The second is dated September 26 1795. The pamphlets includes numerous statements by participants in the French revolution including Carrier General Lamberty Foucher and Villers Herault-Sechelles etc. At the head of No. 5 is the statement "L'habitude des bonnes actions exclut l'idee du crime."

1957223h6042London: Macmillan. Fair with no dust jacket. 1957. First Edition. Hardcover. "For a period of three years - from the summer of 1941 to the summer of 1944 - large parts of the Soviet Union were under German occupation. For another year thereafter until the capitulation of the Third Reich several millions of former Soviet citizens were under German control as soldiers prisoners labourers and refugees. For the Soviet Government the German invasion constituted a crucial test of its ability to control its people at a time of crisis. To the Germans the same events represented a unique challenge - militarily politically morally economically. German policy in the invasion occupation and retreat from Russia is the subject of this book." - Preface. "A treasure trove for serious study of crimes by either Hitler or Stalin. A carefully documented scholarly work it is also readable for the general public." - H.S. Cunningham.

In 1959 to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Brown vs. Board of Education decision the NAACP coordinated a group of celebrations in churches throughout the country to celebrate Freedom Sunday. The effort led by Reverend Edward J. Odom Jr. the NAACP church Secretary involved over 100 local chapters across the country. The celebrations on May 17th were a part of a larger coordinated campaign by the NAACP to register voters raise funds and engage in desegregation projects.

1900204981900. African American school and youth education photographs dating from the early twentieth century through the 1940s document the institutional development of Black education during the era of segregation in the United States. The images record students and teachers in grade schools college classrooms and organized youth programs illustrating the growth of African American educational networks after emancipation and during the Jim Crow period. Schools for Black students expanded rapidly in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries through church sponsorship philanthropic support and the establishment of historically Black colleges and secondary schools. These photographs preserve visual evidence of that educational infrastructure showing black children adolescents and college students engaged in academic and community life.<br /> <br /> Archive contains 10 photographs consisting of six real photo postcards and four larger silver gelatin prints dating approximately from the 1910s through 1940. Four postcards depict grade school classes including Jacksonville Colored School circa 1910s Douglass School of Moselle Missouri photographed in 1915 a class labeled "7B Grade School #63" dated June 1929 and another group of Black children assembled outside a wooden schoolhouse. Two additional postcards document older students: one shows high school girls seated on the steps of a brick school building and another depicts a 1922 classroom gathering at Wiley College in Marshall Texas. The Wiley College postcard carries a printed message on the verso describing the institution as "a college 'of the Negroes for the Negroes by the Negroes'" followed by commentary emphasizing the educational development of African Americans in the decades after slavery and inviting viewers to consider the college as evidence of that progress.<br /> <br /> Four silver gelatin prints expand the archive's documentation of African American educational and youth environments. A panoramic photograph records YMCA Camp Osceola in August 1940 a summer camp for predominantly Black boys where counselors wear jerseys from institutions including Seton Hall Princeton High School Somerville High School and West Chester. Another photograph shows a summer school chemistry class credited in blindstamp to "The Photographic Division C. M. Battey Instructor Tuskegee Institute Alabama" accompanied by a caption explaining that teachers seeking certification in Domestic Science were required to take chemistry. Battey was an early twentieth century African American photographer associated with Tuskegee Institute and known for portrait work of figures such as W. E. B. Du Bois and Frederick Douglass. Two additional photographs depict a dining hall serving young African American women likely associated with an Atlanta educational institution during the 1940s. Photographs range from approximately 5.5 × 3.5 inches to a panoramic print measuring about 14 × 5.5 inches with several mounted on cardstock. Minor toning light creasing and some mount wear or small areas of mount loss appear on several prints while the photographic images remain clear. Very good condition overall and a substantial visual record of African American educational life during the segregation era. unknown

"In all the darkest pages of the malign supernatural there is no more terrible tradition than that of the Vampire a pariah even among demons. The tradition is world wide and of dateless antiquity. I have endeavoured to set forth what might be termed 'the philosophy of vampirism' and however ghastly and macabre they may appear I have felt that here one must not tamely shrink from a careful and detailed consideration of the many cognate passions and congruous circumstances which have throughout the ages played a very vital and memorable part in consolidating the vampire legend and in perpetuating the vampire tradition among the darker and more secret mysteries of belief that prevail in the heart of man." - Introduction. Chapters include: Origins of the Vampire; Generation of the Vampire; The Vampire in Assyria the East and some Ancient Contries; The Vampire in Literature. xvi 356 pp. Bibliography. Index. Footnotes.

1960230811960. Ecology U.S. Department of Health Education and Welfare Public Health Service's Advanced Waste Treatment Research series issued 1960-1964 which document the federal government's first sustained research program addressing the inadequacy of conventional sewage treatment in an industrial and chemically complex society. Issued following the 1961 amendments to the Federal Water Pollution Control Act which expanded federal jurisdiction and authorized intensified research into water pollution these reports establish the technical basis for the transition from sanitation-based infrastructure to chemically and technologically advanced water purification. They address a defined policy failure: primary and secondary treatment systems removed solids and reduced biological oxygen demand but left dissolved contaminants including phosphates nitrates synthetic detergents and industrial chemicals in drinking water supplies. Produced as American waterways including the Potomac River Lake Erie and the Cuyahoga River exhibited visible ecological degradation these publications place federal scientific research within the early formation of national environmental policy and the shift toward water reuse chemical treatment and pollution control as federal responsibilities.<br /> <br /> Archive of twelve issues all issued by U.S. Department of Health Education and Welfare.

The inclusion of reverse osmosis ion exchange and adsorption demonstrates early federal investigation into processes that became standard components of municipal and industrial water treatment. Light edge wear minor toning and handling marks consistent with use; overall very good condition. A cohesive federal research archive documenting the point at which water pollution control shifted from a localized sanitation issue to a national technological and regulatory problem. unknown
