Magnes, J.L. (Judah)
LIKE ALL THE NATIONS?
1st edition. Original Paper Wrappers, 8vo, 77 pages. "'Can we establish our life here,' he asked in his 1930 pamphlet Like All the Nation? 'not upon the basis of force and power, but upon that of human solidarity and understanding?' His tireless pursuit of a cooperative relationship between Jews and Arabs was a manifestation of his philosophy of life; his effort on behalf of the binational plan stands as one in a series of efforts by him to change Jewish public life in both American and Mandatory Palestine" (Kotzin, 2010). In this pamphlet, Magnes includes his essay with the pamphlet's title, as well as his recent New York Times article and Philby's plan. He also republishes his 1921 letter to the editor of the London Jewish Chronicle in which he claims that redemption would come to the Jews only if they stop infringing on Arab national aspirations in Palestine. He placed this article in the pamphlet, he says, "to show that my present attitude is not new, and that it is the result of a view of life and a conception of the ethical function of Judaism and does not just spring from tactical or strategic motives." Finally, he also includes an English translation of Ahad Ha-Am's 1921 Preface to a new edition of his works. Important. Light wear & stains to cover, Very Good Condition. (zion-9-1) xx

MARVELL Andrew
The Works of Andrew Marvell. Poetical, Controversial and Political, containing many Original Letters, Poems, and Tracts, never Before Printed. With a New Life of the Author, by Capt. Edward Thompson.
3 vols., 4to., Sole Edition thus, with an engraved portrait frontispiece and an engraved portrait, some moderate (but largely marginal) damp-marking to first volume; second and third volumes in contemporary full calf, backs with five raised bands, neatly rebacked in calf to style, first volume in modern full calf to style, new leather labels gilt, a very good, crisp, firm set . With the list of subscribers, and additional list of subscribers, together totalling only some 170 names including those of Daines Barrington (friend, correspondent of Gilbert White) Edmund Burke, David Garrick and General Charles Lee. The list of subscribers in interesting; excluding the nobility the list demonstrates a wide coverage of the social and professional classes, and six women are listed which seems a healthy proportion for the period. One subscriber's name, that of 'Estcourt Cheswell' has the surname neatly amended in a contemporary hand to read 'Creswell'. Although there are no other indications as to individual ownership, this may have been his copy. As late as 1791 Creswell was a freeholder of the county of Gloucestershire resident near Cirencester. Marvell's 'Works', containing Poems, Satires and a few Letters, were first edited by Cooke (2 vols., 1726; reprinted 1772). To these are now added the Prose Works, further Letters, including those to the Corporation of Hull (which Marvell represented in Parliament) and the majority of his pamphlets. Thompson's 'Life' appears here for the first time. The most complete early collection of Marvell's poetry and prose, elegantly and clearly printed and with broad margins. CBEL: I, p.460.

MIRACLES et POSSESSIONS] DEUX PAMPHLETS
Lettre à un confesseur, touchant le devoir des Médecins & Chirurgiens : au sujet des miracles et des convulsions [ET] [suivi de] Jugement de Noseigneurs les Archevesques, (...), sur la prétendue possession des filles d'Auxonne
, 1733-1736, in-4, 8-8 p, Demi-toile chagrinée noire postérieure, titre doré en long, Réunion de deux pamphlets démontrant la posture des autorités médicales et religieuses à propos des miracles et des possessions : le premier, relatif aux convulsionnaires, a été produit l'année de l'interdiction des réunions sur la tombe de François de Pâris ; le second copie une pièce produite en 1662 au sujet des possessions des Ursulines d'Auxonne. 1. La Lettre d'un confesseur [...] (sans nom, ni lieu. Datée du 25 mars 1733) pose la question de la responsabilité des médecins face aux miracles et convulsions opérés au cimetière de Saint-Médard de Paris et de leur rôle à déterminer s'il s'agit de réalités ou supercheries. Le médecin Philippe Hecquet (1661-1737) publia la même année une Réponse à cette lettre, plus connue et moins rare. 2. Le Jugement [...] sur la prétendue possessions des filles d'Auxonne (Suivant la copie imprimée à Châlons-sur-Saône, 1736) rapporte l'opinion des médecins et ecclésiastiques (archevêque de Toulouse et évêques de Rennes, Rodez et Châlons-sur-Saône) sur le cas des possessions démoniaques survenues dans le couvent des Ursulines d'Auxonne près de Dijon entre 1658 à 1663. Ce jugement fut fait à la suite de la visite, en 1661, de l'évêque de Chalon-sur-Saône. À l'instar du couvent de Loudun, trente ans auparavant, le couvent d'Auxonne fut le théâtre de retentissantes possessions diaboliques de 1658 à 1663. Avec force tapages, délires et convulsions, les religieuses se disaient habitées par les démons ; l'épidémie se rependit sur la ville, et des femmes laïques, jugées responsables, furent condamnées au bannissement ou massacrées par la population. En octobre 1660, la soeur de Sainte-Colombe, Barbe Buvée, fut accusée de magie, de sortilège et d'infanticide et, reconnue comme la principale coupable, mise aux fers au couvent, avant d'être innocentée quelques mois plus tard par le parlement de Dijon (Calmeil, De la Folie.., 1845, t. 2, p. 132 : cite cette pièce).

MORRISON (John)
The Advantages of an Alliance with the Great Mogul: In which are principally considered Three Points of the highest Importance to the British Nation. I. The immediate Preservation and future Prosperity of the highest Importance to the British Nation. II. The legal Acquisition of an immediate Revenue to Great Britain. III. The promoting of a vast Increase in the Exports of British Manufacture.
First edition, half-title, [4], 99, [1]pp., disbound, half-title detached. A former officer in the East India Company's armies and Commander in Chief of the Great Mogul's Forces, Major John Morrison, returned to Britain in 1772 styled as 'Commander in Chief of the Great Mogul's forces'. Morrison was regarded as a traitor by the East India Company but he did succeed in publishing a pamphlet entitled "The Advantage of an Alliance with the Great Mogul" in 1774. Positioning himself alongside advocates of direct Crown control over Indian territories, Morrison suggested that Shah Alam II would be willing to cede Bengal to George III. The emperor's rough treatment at the hands of the Company, especially the non-payment of tribute, was lambasted as 'a dishonourable blow to the law of nations'. A proper agreement between kings would restore 'the stability and dignity of regal government', and replace 'the fluctuating and unsteady resolve of a Company of private men'.

Seven pamphlets relating to The Battle of Toulon also known as the Battle of Cape Sicié which took place between 21 and 22 February 1744 near the French Mediterranean port of Toulon. Although France was not yet at war with Great Britain ships from their Levant Fleet combined with a Spanish force which had been trapped in Toulon for two years to break the blockade imposed by the British Mediterranean Fleet. The initial engagement on 21 February was largely indecisive and the British continued their pursuit until midday on 22nd before their commander Admiral Thomas Mathews called off the chase. With several of his ships in need of repair he withdrew to Menorca which meant the Royal Navy temporarily lost control of the waters around Italy and allowed the Spanish to take the offensive against Savoy. Admiral Mathews and several others were censured while Rear-Admiral Lestock was acquitted causing scandal and outrage. <br />In his report Mathews blamed his subordinate Richard Lestock for the failure and the issue was hotly debated in Parliament. At the subsequent court-martial Mathews was held responsible and dismissed from the navy in June 1747 while Lestock's political connections meant he was cleared of all charges. Another seven captains were removed from command for failing to engage the enemy and the investigation led to changes that required individual captains to be far more aggressive.
