American Jewish Joint Distribution Committee
EUROPEAN LEGISLATION ON DECLARATIONS OF DEATH: SURVEY CONCLUDED ON JANUARY 1, 1949
1st edition. Original paper wrappers. 8vo, 197 pages. Compiled by the Office of General Counsel European Headquarters American Joint Distribution Committee. "The primary mission of the American (Jewish) Joint Distribution Committee (AJDC) in Europe, has been to rehabilitate and reestablish or resettle the remnants of European Jewry left by Hitler's Germany. In accomplishing this mission, it became very obvious in the days immediately following the war, that one of the most difficult legal problems preventing the reestablishment of European Jewry in their countries of nationality, or in other countries all over the world, was the problem of obtaining declarations of death in the several European countries. The related problem of obtaining recognition and faith and credit from courts of other nations all over the world offered even more difficulties. It was clear that there was no uniform method of issuing cleclarations of death, nor was there any uniform approach by the other nations to recognize declarations of death. " (from foreword by Joel Fisher) . Subjects: Absence and presumption of death. The US Holocaust museum keeps their copy in their Rare Book Collection. Pen note and staples on front cover. Some chipping on cover and spine and blank page before title page. Pages are darkened. Previous owner's stamp on front cover. Good Condition Overall. (HOLO2-145-22+)

American League Against War and Fascism
Women War and Fascism" 1935 Argument Against the Exploitation of Women's Labor "A protest against the use of women as cheap labor in factories and offices in the U.S.
1935. Women War and Fascism. New York: The American League Against War and Fascism 1935. Original paper wrappers. 18 pages. "A protest against the use of women as cheap labor in factories and offices in the U.S. as well as in the fascist states. Munitions plants employ women at dangerous tasks with long hours and low wages. Discriminatory laws against women should be defeated and women's wages made equal with men's for equal work. Published in 1935 this pamphlet was issued by the American League Against War and Fascism a Popular Front organization formed in 1933 at the height of the Depression and global political instability. The League whose membership included communists socialists liberals labor leaders and clergy sought to organize broad resistance to the rise of fascism in Europe and to U.S. military expansion. In the preface to its founding conference at Madison Square Garden the League declared: "We call upon all who would defend peace democracy and the rights of the working people to unite in struggle against the forces of war and fascism." This 1935 publication situates the group within the international anti-fascist movement linking Mussolini's invasion of Ethiopia Hitler's consolidation of power in Germany and Japan's militarism in Asia to domestic threats posed by American reactionary forces.<br /> <br /> Pamphlets of the American League Against War and Fascism are historically significant both for their content and for their role in shaping early U.S. anti-fascist discourse. They illustrate how broad coalitions attempted to mobilize ordinary Americans against authoritarianism years before the United States entered World War II. Such ephemera are now scarce with surviving examples primarily held in institutional collections documenting the American Left peace activism and interwar political culture. For historians it offers a primary source on the rhetoric of Popular Front organizing and the early intersections of anti-war and anti-fascist politics in the United States. Light edgewear and faint toning to wrappers small closed tear at spine fold otherwise well-preserved. Overall Very Good. Buhle 372 Seidman M182. unknown

American League Against War and Fascism.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN FASCISM?
1st edition. Trifold pamphlet. 8vo, [4] pages. Early Nazi-era publication distributed by the American League Against War and Fascism, with warnings primarily for the US. Includes form for membership. "These aspects of Fascism are beginning to develop here [in the US]. Our National Recovery program is concentrating authority in the hands of the executives. But the facts of wages, prices, the administration of the codes and the labor boards show that the real power is being concentrated still more in the hands of the most powerful and repressive monopolistic groups of financiers and industrialists. All the resources of the state are being used in the attempt to restore the broken down capitalist system. Again both labor and capital are being regulated. But increasingly, the right to strike, the only real defense of labor, is being taken away, and the alleged protection of the government substituted for it. But in the agencies of government which are supposed to administer this protection, labor finds the employers and their representatives entrenched in power. This taking away of the resistance power of labor is an infallible sign of Fascism. " Subjects: Fascism -- United States.

AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR
Collection of Papers
New York: Printed by James Rivington 1778. Britain seeks peace with revolutionary America First editions of these six tracts recording efforts at British-American reconciliation during the Revolutionary War. This copy has an excellent provenance: although not marked as such it comes from the family collection of William Eden 1744-1814 a key figure in the negotiations and the author of the latter two works. In 1778 Lord North appointed Eden a member of the Board of Trade and Frederick Howard 5th Earl of Carlisle 1748-1825 to a commission charged with reconciling Britain and America after the British defeat at Saratoga. Although the commissioners were authorized to grant every American demand short of independence the mission was not a success. Mostly this was because the Americans had already formed an alliance with France but Carlisle did not help matters by issuing a manifesto which criticized the French and insisted that Britain would fight to the bitter end. This attracted the attention of the Marquis de Lafayette who challenged Carlisle to a duel which was rejected on diplomatic grounds. The Collection of Papers published in New York by the king's printer includes Carlisle's manifesto along with various other letters and proclamations exchanged between the commissioners and Congress. The second third and fourth tracts comprise Congress's four-page response to the Carlisle manifesto a petition and an address to the commissioners from the loyalist merchants of New York City. These papers are often found with the Collection but are not always present and are listed as separate works in ESTC. In Eden's two tracts he defends his record with the commission and demonstrates his continued engagement with British and Irish politics. He had begun to push for Carlisle's promotion and in 1779 he secured for him the presidency of the Board of Trade. In 1780 Carlisle became Lord Lieutenant of Ireland taking Eden with him as his chief secretary. The other tracts comprise: b SECOND CONTINENTAL CONGRESS.

AMERICAN REVOLUTIONARY WAR - MOLESWORTH, Richard
Manuscript subsistence receipt signed.
Rhode Island: 24 March 1778. Sustaining Burgoyne's Wandering Army Revealing a crucial moment in the aftermath of Saratoga this 1778 receipt documents the transfer of £56000 from New York to support General Burgoyne's imprisoned Convention Army in Boston. The receipt was signed at a delicate point for the British Army. In the summer of 1777 General William Howe succeeded in taking Philadelphia but in October a separate force under John Burgoyne was forced to surrender to Horatio Gates following the two battles of Saratoga in the autumn of 1777. Subsequently the Convention Army named for the treaty of surrender was marched to Boston where they were held prisoner. Burgoyne was permitted to leave for England in April 1778 but his army remained in captivity until the end of the war. This immense sum of £56000 perhaps equivalent to £9500000 today was sent to Burgoyne to feed his starving army. The Battles of Saratoga represented the turning point of the Revolutionary War winning the assistance from France "which was the last element needed for victory" Morgan pp. 82-3. The receipt was signed by Richard Molesworth 1737-1799 a longstanding deputy paymaster in the War Office. Molesworth is briefly mentioned in a letter to Howe on 10 April 1778 where the need for money to support General Burgoyne and his army in Boston is discussed. Richard was the brother of the Robert 5th Viscount Molesworth who inherited the title from his cousin Richard Nassau Molesworth 4th Viscount Molesworth who died without heirs. This document was previously folded and kept in an envelope mounted on the front pastedown of a book from the Molesworth family library a first edition of the English translation of Souligné's The Desolation of France Demonstrated. It was gifted by Souligné to Robert Molesworth 1st viscount Molesworth 1656-1725. Molesworth has inscribed the front blank: "Donum Authoris" Gift from the Author and his note on the title-page reads: "Mons. De Souligny sic Grandson to the famous Du Plessis Mornay". The 1st Viscount Molesworth was an experienced political figure and a prominent member of the Privy Council of Ireland who later held a seat for Dublin County in the Irish House of Commons. The book has a later ownership inscription of Samuel Crompton 1753-1827 on the preliminary blank. Crompton was a pioneer of the spinning industry and was married to Harriet Molesworth the daughter of John Edward Nassau Molesworth. John was the great-grandson of Robert Molesworth 1st Viscount Molesworth. A 20th-century bookplate of another viscount Molesworth is pasted over the white envelope which held the subsistence receipt on the front pastedown. Also present is a manuscript bankers' draft dated 1796 signed by the 5th Viscount Molesworth requesting a payment to his son-in-law John Forster Hill. Single leaf 147 x 187 mm hand-written on both sides in black ink; the book: octavo 186 x 117 mm; also with manuscript bankers' draft dated 1796 and signed by Robert 5th Viscount Molesworth. The book: contemporary black crushed morocco raised bands spine gilt in compartments covers ornamentally gilt marbled endpapers. Ink annotations possibly in Crompton's hand. Rubbed minor loss at spine ends a few marks to covers binding open to the cords after free endpapers but sound occasional minor staining. ESTC R8752; Goldsmiths' 3380. 3380.

American War of Independence 1782. Manuscript folio leaf from British governmental War Office ledger of payments to 'David Thomas Esq. / Carolina' re General Leslie and the British Army of the South headed ‘Extraordinaries in North America’.
10 and 11 October 1782. London War Office Regarding Carolina North America. With other accounts from 1826 on reverse. A valuable artefact of the American War of Independence: a leaf from a British War or Colonial Office ledger detailing payments to officials in General Leslie’s administration in Carolina in 1782. Among many details are references to the Loyalist units the North Carolina Highlanders and New York Volunteers as well as to Colonel Probart Howarth Governor of Fort Johnson and to Colonel de Benning Friedrich von Benning Commander of James Island where one of the last Battles of the war at which Kosciuszko was nearly killed would take place a few days after the entries those of the entries in this ledger. 1p folio. On one side of a leaf of laid paper with fleur-de-lys armorial watermark. Worn and slightly discoloured with closed tear along central fold line repaired with archival tape. The leaf is evidently part of a ledger. It is numbered 19 and headed ‘99 / Extraordinaries in North America’ with the payments being to ‘David Thomas Esqr / Carolina’. The sums involved are substantial: the opening balance brought forward is for £214908 11s 9 1/2d and the closing balance to be carried forward being £216710 7s 7 1/2d. The leaf has been neatly ruled in red with columns for ‘Warrants’ subdivided into ‘by whom granted’ and ‘Dates’ details of payments and sums paid. The ten payments nine of them dating from 10 October and the last one from 11 October 1782 are all on warrants granted to ‘Lt. Genl. Leslie’. The first six entries are highly detailed and the seventh to the tenth are additions to the sixth. First for £111 5s 0d: ‘Paid Capt. John McKinnon Depy. Quar. Masr. Genl. witht. dedn. being his Pay at 10s/. a day & Pay for Lieutts. Rankin & Bard as actg. Depy. Quar. Masr. Genl. at 5s/. a day from 1st. July to 30th. Septr. 1782. also for Lieutt. Condner from 1st. July to 17th. Septr. 1782 at 5s/ P day’. The second for £39 17s 4d: ‘Paid Lt. John Reeve of 82d Regt. of Foot witht. dedn. being Pay for himself as actg. Quar Masr. at 4s/8d. Pr day. & for Mr. Mc.Pherson as Actg. Adjt. to said Regt. at 4s/- Pr. Day from 1st. July to 30th. Septr. 1782’. Third for £155 13s 8d annotated ‘1 Warrt. at Audrs. Office’: ‘Paid Lieut Edwd.

Probart Howarth Govr. of Fort Johnson from Do. to Do.’ In 1826 advantage was taken of the blank reverse of the leaf which was evidently torn out of the ledger at this point when three sets of itemized commissary accounts were given after ‘Stock taken Sept 1. 1826’ the sums involved in one case hams bacon butter and other items totaling £10000 5s 7d. It was then folded four times into a packet dated ‘Sept 1. 1826’. See Image. 10 and 11 October 1782. [London, War Office?
