    8vo. 2 vols. in one. IV, 320 pp. IV, 288 pp. Modern half calf. First edition, comprising both volumes. Contains Marx's first political pamphlet, the anonymous "Bemerkungen über die neueste preußische Censurinstruction. Von einem Rheinländer" (in vol. I, p. 56-88). Another anonymous essay, "Luther als Schiedsrichter zwischen Strauß und Feuerbach" (II, 206-208), has also been attributed to Marx, though Feuerbach may also have been the author of this brief piece. - Marx had sent Ruge his manuscript of the "Bemerkungen" from Trier on 10 February 1842 as a submission to the "Deutsche Jahrbücher", asking him for the time being not to reveal the author's identity to anyone save the publisher. Indeed, the essay was not published there, but in Ruge's present collection of "Anekdota", printed in Switzerland and comprising such contributions as either had been not admitted by the Saxon censorship or which he had not even bothered to submit. - Published in January 1843, the "Anekdota" appeared at the very moment when the liberal, democratic-leaning German press was particularly vigorously suppressed. The book struck a sensational blow against the pettily bureaucratic, reactionary censorship in the German countries by unmasking specifically the Prussian and Saxon censors' bias against all progressive scholarship and writing (cf. I. Taubert/W. Schuffenhauer, Marx oder Feuerbach?, in: Beiträge zur Marx-Engels-Forschung [1975], p. 37). - Contemporary Viennese ownership stamp to title page. Occasional slight foxing, but a very good copy altogether. - Rubel 27 & 28. Stammhammer II, 10. Friedlaender 35. MEGA I.1, 151-175.

    Rare English edition of Colom's Mediterranean Sea pilot Folio (420 by 375mm), engraved title, nineteen double-page engraved charts, numerous woodcut charts and coastal profiles within text, contemporary English panelled calf, rebacked. Arnold Colom, the son of Jacob Colom, was, like his father, a bookseller, printer, and chartmaker. He would appear to have produced only two maritime atlases throughout his career: a pilot of the Mediterranean, and a sea atlas of the world. The reasons for this are unclear, although, with the market so dominated by the likes of Janssonius, Goos, and Doncker, his work might have struggled to secure a foothold. Both Arnold and his father Jacob, produced pilots of the Mediterranean. However, when Arnold published his pilot in 1660 he chose not to reuse his father's copper plates, instead cutting new plates at the behest of John Tuthill, an English bookseller from Yarmouth. The contract that they signed survives, and states that Colom was to deliver 500 Strait-books unbound to John Tuthill at 45 pennies a piece; one hundred of which were to be sold by Colom. A penalty of 500 guilders was set out for both parties if the contract was breached: Tuthill for commissioning another chartseller to produce a Straitsbook; and Colom for printing more than the agreed amount. The work was to be sold for no less than six guilders for the period of the 12 year contract. A notary act of 1664 goes into some detail regarding the originality of Colom's Mediterranean pilot. Arnold states that his father, Jacob, had previously supplied Tuthill with pilots of the Mediterranean. However, when Jacob was contacted by Tuthill in 1660, he was unable to fulfil the order and referred Tuthill to his son, who agreed to cut new plates and provide a new translation of the text. Rare. Koeman records only three institutional examples of this edition: the Bodleian Library; the National Maritime Museum; and the Admiralty Library, Portsmouth. Koeman, IV, A. Col 4.

From its first issue stating its intent as a Marxist journal of the social sciences and arts, Signals was, like almost all avant-garde activities in Latvia, driven by a social and economic agenda which incorporated the use modernist graphic design of the day.

Artists designing these covers were A. Rentovics, V. Leimans, A. Grigels, L. Sneiders, and A. Segelins, although most were unattributed in many numbers. Signals is very rare and highly collectible.

  • Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. French manuscript written in brown ink in a French cursive hand, pages ruled in red, 21 lines per page. 15.3 cm x 9.5 cm, (58) pp. Bound in contemporary limp vellum with remains of green silk ties. A presentation copy with the dedicatee¿s name left blank. Clean and fresh, an excellent copy. Very rare manuscript user¿s manual for the famous terrestrial and celestial globes by the van Langren cartographic dynasty, notable as the first to employ the highly accurate star observations of the ¿tresfameux¿ Tycho Brahe ¿ whose contribution is duly acknowledged (fol. 9v). Well into the age of print, these manuals were handwritten rather than printed because the globes which they accompanied were luxury articles and relatively few were produced, notwithstanding their importance. The celestial globes of Van Langren (1594), and later Blaeu, soon rendered Mercator¿s great globes obsolete. As early as 1590, the young Arnold van Langren was sent to Hven to take advantage of what was at the time the most advanced celestial observatory in Europe. ¿When Arnold came to Uraniborg, Tycho¿s plan to publish his stellar positions was already formulated, but the observations and calculations that resulted in the catalogue of 777 stars had not been completed. While Tycho could have provided Arnold van Langren with the newly calculated positions of some stars, perhaps even interim locations for most of them, it seems quite likely that he would have advised the Dutchman to await the completion of this work before beginning a globus Tychonicus. He may even have withheld his consent at this stage.¿ (Adam Mosley, Bearing the Heavens, p. 240). Tycho¿s own Progymnasmata also makes reference to the visit: ¿Jacob Floris, citizen of Amsterdam, a great expert in the making of celestial and terrestrial Globes, having sent here his son, skilled in the construction of the same, decided to prepare a certain celestial globe following this rectification of ours of the places of the Fixed Sars, which in its certainty and skillful elaboration is about to greatly surpass those hitherto employed.¿ The present guide directs the user in the workings of both Langren¿s celestial and terrestrial globes, giving both a general introduction and practical working examples in solving geodetic and astronomical problems. According to van der Krogt, the van Langren manuals are based in part on Robert Hues¿ Tractaet ofte Handlinge van het gebruijck der Hemelscher ende Aertscher globe (1st ed Amsterdam, 1597), and are in part original. ¿Among other things, van Langren makes use of a separate ¿gnomon sphareicon¿ (sphaerical angle bar), a small instrument which makes it possible to place a perpendicular line easily on the spherical globe¿. On f4r Langren discusses the astronomical implcations of the recent calendar reform under Gregory XIII, while on 11r he mentions the influential mentor of Tycho, Landgrave Wilhelm of Hesse-Kassel¿s method of observing stars by their almucantar and azimuth ¿ a procedure which would later become adopted as the standard method for determining stellar positions. Langren also here explains his decision to include the 32 winds by which modern navigators divide up the sky, which are apparently noted on the globe in Flemish. Despite other similar references to the recent advances of Pedro Nunes (23v), and Tycho Brahe, the present manuscript is above all a practical rather than theoretical guide to the use of the globes in understanding celestial and terrestrial mechanics. Imperative instructions - ¿tournez vostre Globe ainsi¿¿ ¿Cherchez sur le Globe le degre du Soleil¿¿ ¿ evidently enabled the user to manipulate his globes with or without an instructor present. .

IV, 320 + IV, 288 pp. [Marx' paper: Vol. I, pp. 56-88]. Extremely scarce first edition of this two-volume periodical, which contains the first printing of Marx' first newspaper article, being the first political article written by Marx for publication, namely his "Comments on the Latest Prussian Censorship Instruction". This important debut work, which constitutes the foundation of Marxian dialectic and his formulation of Critical Hegelianism, was written between January 15 and February 10, 1842, but due to censorship restrictions, it first appeared here, in Ruge's "Anekdota", in Switzerland in 1843, to avoid German censorship. "The young Marx and the young Engels ridiculed the Prussian Censorship Law of 1841. The attack of the young Mark, "Comments on the Latest Prussian Censorship Instruction," was written in 1842 but published a year later in Ruge's "Anekdota"."Comments on the Latest Prussian Censorship Instruction" is an early exercise by the young Marx in the application of the categories of Hegelian critique. In this essay, the young Marx employed the Hegelian modalities of substance and essence to demonstrate the authoritarian nature of the Prussian Censorship Instruction. The young Marx utilized the concepts of substance and essence in the defence of free press. "Comments on the Latest Prussian Censorship Instruction" defines the essence of a free press as free mind, or the essence of reason as freedom. The young Marx argues that it was impossible for reason to act in accordance with its essence unless it was totally free, because without absolute freedom, reason cannot follow its own insights to their logical conclusion. Consequently, when the Prussian Censorship Instruction limits the freedom of reason, when it sets boundaries beyond which reason cannot go, the Prussian Government annihilates the essence of reason. The strategy of the young Marx is his essay is to adopt Hegelian logic in the cause of liberalism. He wished to show how Hegelian categories could be adjusted, could be transformed into weapons in the cause of political reform. In this essay, the young Marx proved two things, that he interpreted Hegel as a critical Hegelian and that he himself continued this Critical Hegelian tradition. In 1842, the young Marx explored, experimented with the use of Hegelian categories, essence, and appearance as devices by which to advance the cause of political progressivism, and this was the meaning of Critical Hegelianism in the generation of Gans." (Norman Levine: Divergent Paths: Hegel in Marxism and Engelsism, pp. 142-43)."Karl's [i.e. Marx] politics had closely followed those of Ruge ever since the end of the 1830s. In 1842 and 1843, their responses to immediate events, not least the "frivolous diatribes of the "Free", had remained very close. An established author, and in the possession of independent means, "Papa Ruge" - as Jenny called him - was clearly the senior partner in this collaboration. The banning of the "Deutsche Jahrbücher" in January 1843 as the result of Prussian pressure, together with the suppression of the "Rheinische Zeitung", meant the effective silencing of Young Hegelianism within Germany. The aim of the criticism, as it was applied among Young Hegelians, was to highlight the gap between the demands of reason and the behavior of the government, but its failure to make any significant headway against the Prussia of Friedrich Wilhelm IV had also pushed them both towards an open criticism of Hegel's political philosophy. (Gareth Steadman Jones: Karl Marx, Greatness and Illusion, p. 142).Although another anonymous essay "Luther als Schiedsrichter zwischen Strauß und Feuerbach" (Vol. II, pp. 206-208) has long been attributed to Marx, the preface to MECW I now states that "recent research has proved that it was not written by Marx (Draper, register, p. 58). The piece might be by Feuerbach himself.

    Condition: Good. 4to. 30-33 cm. Original wraps and cloth bindings. Few duplicates. See complete list below.OCLC Number: 979695104.Bruno (1872-1941) and Paul (1871-1926) Cassirer were cousins who in 1898 opened an art gallery closely associated with the Berlin Secession. Their opening exhibition featured works of Degas, Meunier, and Liebermann. Later shows included Corinth, Slevogt, Hodler, Bocklin, and Trubner; the emphasis, however, was on French impressionists. Soon after opening their gallery, the Cassirers began publishing. Their ties to Max Liebermann are close; their first publications were a set of prints by Liebermann and his essay on Degas.In 1901, the cousins parted company. Paul Cassirer continued as art dealer, and Bruno took over as publisher; they agreed not to compete directly for a period of seven years. In 1902 Bruno Cassirer began publishing the journal Kunst and Künstler, which soon enjoyed success and influence.The following issues and volumes are included.Jahrgang I, 1902-1903;Jahrgang II, 1903-1904;Jahrgang IV, Heft I, Oktober 1905;Jahrgang IV, Heft II, November 1905;Jahrgang IV, Heft IV, Januar 1906;Jahrgang IV, Heft V, Februar 1906;Jahrgang IV, Heft VI, März 1906;Jahrgang IV, Heft VII, April 1906;Jahrgang IV, Heft VIII, Mai 1906;Jahrgang IV, Heft IX, Juni 1906;Jahrgang IV, Heft X, Juli 1906;Jahrgang IV, Heft XI, August 1906;Jahrgang IV, Heft XII; September 1906;Jahrgang V, 1906-1907;Jahrgang VI, 1907-1908;Jahrgang VII, 1908-1909;Jahrgang VIII, 1909-1910;Jahrgang IX, 1910-1911;Jahrgang IX, Heft V, Februar 1911;Jahrgang IX, Heft VIII, Mai 1911;Jahrgang IX, Heft IX, Juni 1911;Jahrgang IX, Heft X, Juli 1911;Jahrgang IX, Heft XI, August 1911;Jahrgang IX, Heft XII, September 1911;Jahrgang X, 1911-1912;Jahrgang X, Heft I, Oktober 1911;Jahrgang X, Heft III, Dezember 1911;Jahrgang X, Heft V, Februar 1912;Jahrgang XI, Heft I, Oktober 1912;Jahrgang XI, Heft II, November 1912;Jahrgang XI, Heft III, Dezember 1912 (2x);Jahrgang XI, Heft IV, Januar 1913;Jahrgang XI, Heft V, Februar 1913 (2x);Jahrgang XI, Heft VI, März 1913;Jahrgang XI, Heft VII, April 1913 (2x);Jahrgang XI, Heft VIII, Mai 1913;Jahrgang XI, Heft IX, Juni 1913;Jahrgang XI, Heft X, Juli 1913 (2x);Jahrgang XI, Heft XI, August 1913 ;Jahrgang XI, Heft XII, September 1913;Jahrgang XII, 1913-1914;Jahrgang XII, Heft I, Oktober 1913;Jahrgang XII, Heft II, November 1913;Jahrgang XII, Heft IV, Januar 1914;Jahrgang XII, Heft VII, April 1914;Jahrgang XII, Heft VIII, Mai 1914;Jahrgang XII, Heft XI, August 1914;Jahrgang XIII, 1914-1915;Jahrgang XIII, Heft III, Dezember 1914;Jahrgang XIII, Heft IV, Januar 1915;Jahrgang XIII, Heft VI, März 1915;Jahrgang XIII, Heft IX, Juni 1915;Jahrgang XIV, 1915-1916;Jahrgang XIV, Heft II, November 1915;Jahrgang XV, Heft X, Juli 1917;Jahrgang XVI, 1917-1918;Jahrgang XVII, 1918-1919;Jahrgang XVII, Heft IX, Juni 1919;Jahrgang XVIII, 1919-1920;Jahrgang XIX, 1920-1921;Jahrgang XX, 1921-1922;Jahrgang XXI, 1922-1923;Jahrgang XXII, 1923-1924;Jahrgang XXIII, 1924-1925;Jahrgang XXIV, 1925-1926;Jahrgang XXIV, Heft I, Oktober 1925;Jahrgang XXV, 1926-1927;Jahrgang XXVI, 1927-1928;Jahrgang XXVII, 1928-1929;Jahrgang XXVIII, Heft I, Oktober 1929;Jahrgang XXVIII, Heft II, November 1929;Jahrgang XXVIII, Heft III, Dezember 1929;Jahrgang XXVIII, Heft IV, Januar 1930;Jahrgang XXVIII, Heft V Februar 1930;Jahrgang XXVIII, Heft VI, März 1930;Jahrgang XXVIII, Heft VII, April 1930;Jahrgang XXVIII, Heft VIII, Mai 1930;Jahrgang XXVIII, Heft IX, Juni 1930;Jahrgang XXVIII, Heft X, Juli 1930;Jahrgang XXVIII, Heft XI, August 1930;Jahrgang XXVIII, Heft XII, September 1930;Jahrgang XXIX, Heft I, Oktober 1930;Jahrgang XXIX, Heft II, November 1930;Jahrgang XXIX, Heft III, Dezember 1930;Jahrgang XXIX, Heft V, Februar 1931;Jahrgang XXIX, Heft VII, April 1931;Jahrgang XXIX, Heft VIII, Mai 1931;Jahrgang XXIX, Heft IX, Juni 1931;Jahrgang XXIX, Heft X, Juli 1931;Jahrgang XXIX, Heft XI, August 1931;Jahrgang XXX, Heft I, Oktober 1931;Jahrgang XXX, Heft II, November 1931;Jahrgang XXX, Heft III, Dezember 1931;Jahrgang XXXI, Heft I/II, Januar/Februar 1932;Jahrgang XXXI, Heft III, März 1932;Jahrgang XXXI, Heft IV, April 1932;Jahrgang XXXI, Heft V, Mai 1932;Jahrgang XXXI, Heft VI, Juni 1932;Jahrgang XXXI, Heft VII, Juli 1932;Jahrgang XXXI, Heft VII, August 1932;Jahrgang XXXI, Heft IX, September 1932;Jahrgang XXXI, Heft X, Oktober 1932;Jahrgang XXXI, Heft XI, November 1932;Jahrgang XXXI, Heft XII, Dezember 1932;Jahrgang XXXII, Heft I, Januar 1933;Jahrgang XXXII, Heft II, Februar 1933;Jahrgang XXXII, Heft II, Februar 1933;Jahrgang XXXII, Heft III, März 1933;Jahrgang XXXII, Heft IV, April 1933;Jahrgang XXXII, Heft V, Mai1933;Jahrgang XXXII, Heft VI, Juni 1933.

    2 folio albums containing approximately 200 illustrations on 100 leaves: (a) Winsor & Newton artists' drawing book (36 x 26.5cm), between original light green paper covers, with title 'Scrapbook for 1950' on first page, original colour illustration to upper cover, plus 20 leaves of original hand coloured illustrations, some full page, many with more than one to a page, most with handwritten ink joke captions, 7 signed with the artist's monogram. (b) C. Roberson & Co. artists' sketch book with vendor's stamp of Hibbert Bros, Art Dealers, Sheffield to inside front cover, (36 x 24cm), dark grey cloth-covered card boards, black cloth to spine, with title 'This and That' on first page, with illustrations to inside front and rear covers, plus 80 leaves of original hand coloured illustrations and 2 leaves of uncoloured pencil sketches, again many full page, many with more than one to a page, most accompanied by handwritten ink joke captions, 3 signed with the artist's monogram. Some light wear to bindings but contents generally very clean with vibrant colour. The monogram appears to be that of Arnold Taylor, the foremost artist for Bamforth & Co. Although not formatted as postcards these brilliantly executed cartoons are wonderful evocations of the rude saucy seaside culture of the day, the most famous exponent of this genre being of course Donald McGill, whose work they distributed in America. Bamforth & Co. began as a photography business founded by James Bamforth in 1870 in Yorkshire, and became the most prolific publishers of this form. Arnold Taylor joined the firm in 1926 training under Douglas Tempest who had originated the house style. After serving in the Second World War he went back to civilian life as a freelance illustrator and then returned to become a full time artist for Bamforth and a director. Only four illustrators worked for Bamforth: Douglas Tempest, Arnold Taylor, Philip Taylor (no relation) who emigrated to New Zealand after the war and Brian Fitzpatrick (born 1932) who trained under Arnold Taylor. The dating on these albums (1950 to 1957), the distinctive individual style which sets them apart from his protégé, and the monogram in the same style as his printed signature (Taylor) on the cards clearly point towards these being the work of Arnold. After the war, distributors of the cards were subjected to numerous prosecutions under the Obscene Publications Act of 1857 and vast numbers of cards were destroyed. Postcard censorship committees were set up in the major seaside resorts, and Bamforth's artists themselves were often subjected to prosection. Few if any of the illustrations in these albums would seem to have made as far as postcard production, being probably too risqué for the age (if not by the standards of today) but would appear to be the private sketchbooks of the artist providing the vivid background to his commercial output.

From Colom's "Zee-atlas, ofte water-wereldt: In houdende een Korte beschryvinge van alle de bekende zee-Kusten des aardtrycks. Nieuwelijcks uyt-ghegheven" (Sea atlas of the water world: Containing a short description of all the well-known sea coasts of the earth. Newly issued). "One of the most important atlases in the well known category of Dutch sea-atlases" (Koeman). Unlike the sea atlas of his contemporary Joannes Jansson, Colom "assembled a coherent group of 15 charts, later increased to 17 plus a world map. He was also the first to publish a chart of what was called "Nieu Nederland" (Koeman). It is recorded that in 1663 Colom was a tenant of Nicolaas Visscher "He then owed a considerable amount of rent, and as his security for his debt he gave his landlord 18 copper-plates of his sea atlas, plates which he was not able to redeem before he died.

This important Sunni text was first translated into English by Capt. Matthews of the Bengal Artillery. Although some of the original hadith are not included and others incorrectly translated, this attempt to publish a translation from the Arabic was a noted accomplishment for its time. The list of subscribers accounts for 122 copies, with an additional 100 copies noted as being published on order of the Governor General in Council for the Honourable Company. A statement in a 1848 issue of the Journal of Sacred Literature suggests that most copies of the work were destroyed at sea, yet it was still advertised for sale in 1817 in the Literary panorama (at the price of £4.4s).Some browning throughout, more pronounced in endpapers, a short tear in the foot of vol. 1, not affecting the text, but still in good condition.

    Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. "The circumstances under which the wealth, the power, and the numbers of the Jewish race domiciled in this country are likely to be indefinitely increased seem to call for more prescience and thought at the hands of our rulers than have yet been bestowed upon them. To make people think is the object of this book. Should they refuse, they will wake up one morning only to discover that they have parted with the realities of national life, and are dominated by cosmopolitan and materialist influences fatal to the existence of the English nation." - Introduction. Chapters include: What is a Jew?; The Problem in Russia; The Jew in Austria/America/France/England/The Argentine Colonies; The Aloofness of Israel; Money Lenders; The Destitute Alien in Great Britain; Zionism; "Darkest Russia"; The Conversion of the Jews; Jewish Humour. pp xvii, 301, 32 [ads]. 7.5 x 5.3 inches.

Signatures by Pablo Neruda, Ilya Ehrenburg, Arnold Zweig, Wiktor Woroszylski, Helene Weigel, George Ashmore Fitch, Xiao San, and others. In 1950, the World Congress of the Supporters of Peace adopted a permanent constitution for the World Peace Council, which replaced the Committee of Partisans for Peace. The opening congress of the WPC condemned the atom-bomb and the American invasion of Korea. It followed the Cominform line, recommending the creation of national peace committees in every country, and rejected pacifism and the non-aligned peace movement. It was originally scheduled for Sheffield but the British authorities, who wished to undermine the WPC, refused visas to many delegates and the Congress was forced to move to Warsaw. British Prime Minister Clement Attlee denounced the Congress as a "bogus forum of peace with the real aim of sabotaging national defence" and said there would be a "reasonable limit" on foreign delegates. .

First Edition, first (deluxe) issue, limited to 50 signed and numbered copies, this no. 22. Rare. Rufer (Engl.) pp. 38-40. Ringer p. 314. Tetsuo Satoh pp. 13-16. Crawford p. 441. The first issue of the edition, shipped on July 30, 1914, was split: 50 copies were printed on high-quality laid paper, the remaining 200 copies were printed on regular paper. The copies on laid paper carry the printed note "Numerierte Vorzugsausgabe auf Bütten" to title, as in the present copy. Hitherto unrecorded is the fact that all copies of this issue bear the note "Stich und Druck von Breitkopf & Härtel in Leipzig" to the lower right corner of the first page of music. The note "Weag" [Waldheim-Eberle A.G.] to p. 78, mentioned in the Schoenberg Complete Edition (Abteilung VI, Reihe B, Band 24, 1, critical report by Reinhold Brinkmann), is found only in the second issue of 1923. Pierrot Lunaire, Schoenberg's setting of 21 selected poems from Belgian writer Albert Giraud's eponymous cycle, was first performed at the Berlin Choralion-Saal on 16 October 1912 with soprano Albertine Zehme as vocalist. "Schoenberg, who was fascinated by numerology, . makes great use of seven-note motifs throughout the work, while the ensemble (with conductor) comprises seven people. The piece is his opus 21, contains 21 poems, and was begun on March 12, 1912. Other key numbers in the work are 3 and 13: each poem consists of 13 lines (two four-line verses followed by a five-line verse), while the first line of each poem occurs three times (being repeated as lines 7 and 13)." Wikipedia "Pierrot Lunaire is one of the most representative works of the twentieth century, as much as Pablo Picasso's Man with the Guitar or James Joyce's Ulysses. As a creative effort in a single consistent style, as an artistic phenomenon, it stands alone among Schoenberg's compositions. The era of 1912, the sunset of a long epoch of peaceful construction in Central Europe, found an unmistakable expression interest in it." Stuckenschmidt pp. 71-2. "This melodrama is numbered among the unique, unrepeatable creative works which, both positively and negatively, point the way for, and mark the destiny of, the art of music. Seen in this lofty historical perspective, it takes its place in the line of works such as Mozart's Don Giovanni, Beethoven's Missa Solemnis or late quartets, Wagner's Tristan, Mahler's Song of the Earth, and Richard Strauss's Elektra. This is not a matter of drawing comparisons; when I place Pierrot Lunaire alongside the works just mentioned, it is only to point out that, like them, it was, in a sense, created at as crucial moment for music." Reich p. 79.

    Quarto and small folio, totaling 40 pages (not including address panels), with the exception of the last, all very legible, most with typed transcriptions, and all in very good to fine condition. In 1841 Rhode Island lacked a constitution and was still governed under the colonial charter of 1663, which restricted suffrage to men only who owned at least $134 in land. Urbanites, whose numbers had greatly increased with the growth of industry, and especially Irish Catholics, were disenfranchised. In fact, in 1840, nearly 60% of free adult males in Rhode Island were disenfranchised. Thomas W. Dorr was an idealistic attorney who had studied under Chancellor James Kent in New York. Dorr practiced in Providence, which was much larger than the town of Newport, but Newport had far superior representation in the General Assembly. Dorr pleaded with the General Assembly to call a constitutional convention to address the accumulating grievances, but as the ruling conservatives were deaf to reform, in October 1841 Dorr's own party called a constitutional convention. In response, the General Assembly called a rival convention which drafted a new constitution known as the Freemen's Constitution, making some concessions to democratic demands. Due to the opposition of the Dorrites, the Freemen's Constitution was defeated in a state-wide referendum. The Dorrite convention drafted the People's Constitution which was overwhelmingly approved in a second referendum. Both the conventions and referendums had been extralegal, but the Dorrites claimed that their Constitution had been approved by a majority of those entitled to vote under the old charter. Early in 1842, both Dorr's followers and the charter government forces elected and organized separate governments, Dorr heading one and Samuel H. King the other. The federal government declined to intervene. In May, Dorr resorted to a show of arms. After an abortive assault on the Providence armory, his government collapsed and Dorr fled the state. King declared martial law, many Dorrites were arrested, and Dorr himself was indicted for high treason. Minor armed clashes and demonstrations caused much excitement. The conservatives, finally convinced of the strength of Dorr's cause, called another convention. A new constitution, greatly liberalizing voting requirements, was accepted by both parties. On its approval by the people in 1843, Dorr returned to Rhode Island, was tried and found guilty, and was sentenced in 1844 to solitary confinement and hard labor for life. The harshness of the sentence was widely condemned and, in 1845 Dorr, broken in health and spirit, was released. His civil rights were restored in 1851, and in 1854, the year he died, the court judgment against him was set aside. As the agitation swelled in 1841, Governor Samuel King informed President Tyler that Rhode Island was subjected to revolutionary activity, and asked the federal government for protection. Tyler advised King that the Constitution of the United States did not invest the president with the power to sanction military force in anticipation of domestic violence. Insurrection had to be actual before protection could be furnished. But the federal government did take several precautionary measures. On April 26 the War Department ordered two artillery companies from Fort Monroe, Virginia, to Fort Columbus to replace the two companies he was sending to Fort Adams in Newport. The Dorrites felt, as one of them wrote, that Rhode Island had succumbed to "the will of John Tyler and the force of his standing army." Dorr sought proof that federal troops had taken part in the defeat of the suffragists, but the most he could show was that Fort Adams had become the strongest garrison on the east coast, but he persisted in the belief that only federal power protected the charter government from complete repudiation. This archive offers a remarkable view of a pivotal moment in Rhode Island history as seen through the eyes of well-born Rhode Islanders who were not at all pleased with the turmoil fomented by Dorr. Welcome Arnold Greene's letters to his cousin, Richard Ray Ward are especially valuable, as they offer a narrative of the events of the spring and summer of 1842 as they unfold. Notable is the extent and duration of the fear that Dorr's adherents would rise up again. Ward's letters to General Winfield Scott, as well as W. A. Greene's appeal to fund a militia are the letters of participants who fear for their lives and property. From a scholarly perspective the tone of patrician disdain for the suffrage agitators reinforces Patrick Conley's argument for a strong nativist dimension in the conflict. At issue also is the role of the federal government in the Rhode Island political crisis. At the center of this archive is Welcome Arnold Greene (1795-1870). At an early age he entered the employ of his cousin, Samuel Greene Arnold, a prominent merchant of Providence, and was soon entrusted by him with the responsible position of supercargo. In this capacity he made voyages to South America, Spain, Norway, Russia, and the East. Returning from his voyages, Greene accepted the position of cashier of the Mechanics' National Bank of Providence, which he filled from January 7, 1830, to July 11, 1836, when he resigned and withdrew from active business. He was a member of the Franklin Society for the Encouragement of Domestic Industry, and also of the Rhode Island Historical Society, where he filled several offices and was for years its valued Treasurer. He was also a member of the Society of Friends. His cousin, Richard Ray Ward (1795-1873) was a New York City lawyer. His father was an international merchant who traveled to China and acted as the president of the New York Marine Insurance Company. Ward practiced law in New York City for many years and was also a noted antiquarian. He was an honorary member of the Rhode Island Historical Society from 1823 onwards. Winfield Scott (1786-1866) is the well-kn.

    Small 8vo. (6), 43, (1) pp. Stiff green cloth wrappers titled in black. Extremely rare manual, marked "For Official use only" and prepared for the troops of the Indian Expeditionary Force "D", giving an account of the political and historical context of the British Mesopotamian campaign of World War I. - Expeditionary Force "D" was made up of Indian and British troops and is infamous for its doomed defense of the siege of Kut, where disease and starvation forced a surrender in April 1916. However, the pamphlet does not limit itself to Iraq, but crucially provides an entire chapter on the history of, and British interest in, the Arabian Peninsula, titled "Arabia - Our Left Flank", including an entire section on Abdulaziz Ibn Saud (1875-1953). The author summarizes the history of British presence in the Gulf, noting the sack of Ras-al-Khaimah in retribution for alleged pirate activity, after which "the climate forced [the British] to evacuate that position". The book further refers to the "maritime truce" imposed by Britain upon the Arabian Coast from "Masandam to Kuwait" in 1836 and notes that the suppression of the arms trade in Muscat was successful thanks to the regulations put in place by Faisal bin Turki, Sultan of Muscat and Oman (1864-1913), the direct ancestor of Sultan Haitham. In more general terms the author describes "The rich oases of the Qasim, with their population of enterprizing merchants" and "the Hasa, coveted for its date groves and its ports on the Persian Gulf" which "was finally wrested from the Ottoman Government by Ibn Sa'ud in 1913". The author lists British treaties along the Gulf Coast, including with "the Shaikh of Bahrain" (Abdullah bin Ahmad Al Khalifa, 1769-1849) in 1820 "and in 1798 with the chiefs of the Trucial Coast". - Cloth gently rubbed. Interior shows a hint of foxing, otherwise in very good condition. A single copy is listed in auction records, and that volume included a pencil note attributing authorship to Sir Arnold Talbot Wilson (1884-1940), a captain in the British Indian Army. As then-acting civil commissioner for Mesopotamia who later became known for his strong opinions on the postwar fate of Iraq, he is not an unlikely candidate.

    Rare United States Air Force photograph of legendary aviator Howard Hughes, Major General Oscar Westover, and General of the Air Force Henry H. Arnold. Signed and inscribed by each aviation pioneer, "O. Westover Maj. Gen. A.C. Chief of the Air Corps", "Howard Hughes", and "H. Arnold Brig Gen. A.C." Major General Oscar Westover succeeded Benjamin Foulois as Chief of the Air Corps in 1935 and, on September 21, 1938, perished in an air crash at Burbank, California. Henry H. Arnold succeeded Westover as Chief of Air Corps on September 29, 1938. Arnold rose to command the Army Air Forces immediately prior to the American entry into World War II and directed its hundred-fold expansion from an organization of little more than 20,000 men and 800 first-line combat aircraft into the largest and most powerful air force in the world. He additionally moonlighted as a silent film stunt pilot and was portrayed on film by actor Walter O. Miles in the 1977 American made-for-television biographical film The Amazing Howard Hughes, starring Tommy Lee Jones as Hughes. In 1946, Hughes performed the first flight of the prototype U.S. Army Air Forces reconnaissance aircraft, the XF-11, near Hughes airfield at Culver City, California. The XF-11 crashed in Beverly Hills, destroying three houses. Hughes was rescued by Marine Master Sgt. William L. Durkin, who happened to be in the area visiting friends. It is rumored that Hughes sent a check to the Marine weekly for the remainder of his life as a sign of gratitude. In fine condition. Exceptionally rare, signed three major figures in the history of American aviation. Howard Hughes was an American business magnate, investor, record-setting pilot, engineer, film director, and philanthropist, known during his lifetime as one of the most financially successful individuals in the world. Hughes formed the Hughes Aircraft Company in 1932, hiring numerous engineers and designers. He spent the rest of the 1930s and much of the 1940s setting multiple world air speed records and building the Hughes H-1 Racer and H-4 Hercules (the Spruce Goose). He acquired and expanded Trans World Airlines and later acquired Air West, renaming it Hughes Airwest. Hughes was included in Flying Magazine's list of the 51 Heroes of Aviation, ranked at No. 25. Today, his legacy is maintained through the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and the Howard Hughes Corporation.
