Los Angeles CA: Christian Defense League 1964. 1964. Fine. - Folio a 22-1/2 inches high by 16 inches wide broadside. The May 13 1964 Volume One Number One issue of the "Christian Defense News" broadside is printed on newspaper stock. Titled below the banner headline proclaiming "Extra! Extra!" the broadside consists of provocative articles and photographic illustrations under bold headings such as "'White Christians' Now a Minority Group' says Editor" "Enemies of Christianity on the March" and "Bible Out Of Schools". Folded several times for mailing else fine.<p>A 2-page mechanically reproduced letter signed by Sherman C. Hamar typed on both sides of legal-sized 14 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide paper is addressed "Dear Friend". Dated September 1966 the letter appears to be intended as a list of talking points for Republican candidates and lists 45 points drawn from the January 10 1963 Congressional Record which the author views as demonstrating that the Communist party intends to take over the United States. He includes "Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities" which in conjunction with Joseph McCarthy's efforts in the Senate had conducted witch hunts and was responsible for the Hollywood black list. Seven numbers are penned in blue ink at the top of the first page no doubt in order to emphasize the corresponding points.</p><p>An additional 8-page mechanically-reproduced letter printed on both sides of 4 sheets of legal-sized 14 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide paper bears the heading "A Republican Christian Congress in '66. Be Informed." Dated May 1966 and signed by Sherman C. Hamar the letter outlines strategies which the party should employ while subtly supporting anti-Communist White Christian and White Supremacist values. "You can & must win" is penned in blue ink at the top of the first page. There are several paper clip stains to the top edges of the first and last pages.</p><p>The broadside and letters were mailed to Spiro Agnew who was then running for Governor of Maryland and includes an original postmarked mailing envelope. </p><p>PROVENANCE: From the estate of Vice President Spiro T. Agnew's Chief-of-Staff Arthur J. Sohmer.</p><p>Spiro T. Agnew 1918-1996 was Governor of Maryland and Vice President of the United States under Nixon. He was indicted for tax fraud and forced to resign.</p><p>The American white supremacist Richard Butler 1918-2004 dedicated himself to the Christian Identity movement and founded the Neo-Nazi group Aryan Nations in the 1970s. After studying aeronautical engineering and science Butler was sent to India by his company to work on aircrafts for the Royal Indian Air Force. Some assert that his experience with the caste system influenced his later beliefs. Though he joined the Army Air Corps at the start of the Second World War Butler never saw action. He became increasingly Anti-Semetic and Anti-Communist during that period. Influenced by William Porter Gale and also the Klansman and pastor of the Anglo-Saxon Christian Congregation Wesley Swift Butler joined the Christian Identity movement. In the 1960's Butler was involved with the California Rangers the paramilitary arm of the Christian Defense League and in 1970 took over from Henry Beach as the leader of Posse Comitatus. Purchasing a large piece of land at Hayden Lake Idaho Butler founded the Aryan Nations group as a political wing of the racist white supremacist Church of Jesus Christ Christian.</p> Los Angeles, CA: Christian Defense League, 1964.

Some Records of Ethiopia 1593-1643: Being Extracts from the History of High Ethopia or Abassia by Manoel de Almeida; together wi
xcviii267 pages with frontispiece maps some folding bibliography and index. Octavo 8 3/4" x 5 3/4"bound in original publisher's blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and pictorial representation of the ship Victoria on the cover. Works issued by the Hakluyt Society Second Series Number 107. First edition. This is a valuable work much enhanced by a detailed and scholarly introduction which gives an admirable impression of the situation of Ethiopia during the first thirty years of the seventeenth century. In addition to setting out the history and background of the manuscripts the translators give a balanced account of the work of the Jesuits and the situation with which they were faced. While there is much in the points brought forward in regards to the Patriarch Afonso Mendes the translators perhaps underestimate the intense devotion of the Ethiopian churchmen to their Coptic heritage. There is little evidence that the Jesuit missionaries realized the rooted self-confidence of the antiquity of Ethiopian Christian life. Condition: Previous owner's name on front end paper some foxing through out and on end pages corners bumped else a very good copy. Hakluyt Society hardcover
