‎Etienne Pourfour-du-Petit, Doctor and Senior Professor of the Faculty of Medicine, Advocate to the Parliament‎

‎1782 HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT 'TESTAMENT' REQUIRING THE FACULTY TO UPHOLD IT'S AGREEMENT TO THIS PROFESSOR OF THE 'ANCIEN REGIME'‎

‎Paris France 1782. On June 13th 1782 'Docteur rege de la Faculte de Medecine en L'Universite de Paris ancien Proffesseur de les Ecoles.' Etienne Pourfour-de-Petit first hired by the University in 1732 writes the Faculty beseeching that the Faculty honor and uphold his 1760 retirement 'edict'. Superbly interesting document that highlights the struggles of the revolutionary period and transition of power. The Professor obviously a monarchist and of the 'ancien regime' is faced with a new board made up of the rebels. Easily read is a certain disdain to the new Faculty members his deep respect for the Monarch but also an embracing of the new revolutionary ideas. Biographical Notes: SIR THOMAS PHILLIPPS 1792-1872. Born in 1792 Sir Thomas Phillipps from childhood was obsessed with the idea of obtaining virtually anything written or printed on paper including cartloads of documents from wastepaper merchants and the entire inventories of booksellers. "I wish to have one copy of every book in the world" he declared to a friend. He very nearly succeeded. His collection ultimately grew to more than 100000 books and at least 60000 manuscripts. As a result of his extravagant purchases Sir Thomas was permanently on the verge of bankruptcy and was constantly pursued by creditors. So many books arrived at his house that it was impossible to unpack his acquisitions much less keep pace with them. Visiting scholars driven to distraction would spend days hunting for an elusive text in the dusty heaps that filled every room. Because Sir Thomas has a morbid dread of fire most of his collection was housed in coffinlike boxes that could be carted away quickly. Visitors to Middle Hill were struck too by the presence of numerous logs a ploy he used to lure beetles away from his books. As Sir Thomas relentlessly pursued his passion the house itself began to crumble and its floors started to sag under the cast weight of hundreds of tons of paper. His neglect of Middle Hill was partly deliberate however. Sir Thomas's chief enemy in life James Halliwell had married his daughter against his wishes. It appears that Halliwell was in Sir Thomas' eyes the worst kind of criminal a book thief who had stolen valuable works from university libraries and even from his father-in-law. Having no sons Sir Thomas was unable to prevent Halliwell from inheriting his estate. To ensure that his detested heir would never receive anything of value Sir Thomas's solution was to allow Middle Hill to fall unto complete disrepair. He even went so far as to chop down and sell for lumber the centuries-old oak trees that lined the majestic mile-long drive to his home. In 1863 Sir Thomas decided to move - in order to accommodate his books. With the aid of 160 men 103 wagonloads of books and papers drawn by 230 horses the books were lumbered from Middle Hill top their new estate in nearby Cheltenham. It is said that for years afterwards the countryside was littered with the remains of carts that had collapsed under the sheer weight of the Phillipps collection. Sir Thomas continues to add to his library until his death in 1872. After Sir Thomas's death his immediate family had no room for his collection. So vast was the library that although individual items and large sections were sold privately or through numerous auction sales the Phillipps collection is still being sold more than a century after the death of its owner. In the course of its sales many treasures have come to light. As late as 1964 part of the long-lost and unique medieval manuscript of the Roman poet Ovid's Metamorphoses appeared and was subsequently reunited with its other half at Magdalen College Oxford. Once destined for destruction as worthless wastepaper this and many other priceless works were saved by the single-minded obsession of the greatest bibliomaniac of all time. Autograph. Manuscript. Very Fine. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. Paperback‎

‎La fallacia del maggioritario. O del perenne attrito tra la forza del potere e la ragione del diritto‎

‎È da tempo invalsa nell'opinione pubblica l'idea che realizzare compiutamente un regime democratico significhi aumentare l'efficienza della sua azione, renderla più incisiva. Di qui il disegno di rafforzare il ruolo dell'esecutivo a spese della rappresentanza parlamentare, la cui attività dialettica è spesso tacciata di verbalismo e di sterile faziosità. Lo strumento più usato per rinvigorire il potere esecutivo è un qualche meccanismo elettorale maggioritario. Un'idea correlata è che il requisito essenziale per l'esistenza di una democrazia consista in libere elezioni. Ambedue i postulati sono errati perché non colgono la ratio di una democrazia, ossia che con libere elezioni si formi un organo sovrano collettivo che annoveri tutte le componenti ideologiche della nazione. Riproducendo esattamente i sentimenti e le convinzioni dell'intero popolo, quell'organo sovrano opererà allo stesso modo dell'intero paese adunato in un'unica assemblea. Solo a questa condizione, ossia in assenza di qualsiasi correzione maggioritaria, ci sarà una crazia del demos e non un semplice trasferimento di potere popolare nelle mani di un soggetto in qualche misura diverso dal popolo.

‎On letterhead of 18 Gower Street W.C. London 10 December 1888. By profession a mining engineer O'Driscoll was the Irish National Federation Anti-Parnellite MP for the South Monaghan constituency between 1892 and 1895. 2pp. 12mo. In good condition lightly aged with slight patch of discoloration at the head of the second page. Despite the author's statement to the contrary an eloquent and moving letter of condolence. Addressing his letter to 'My dear Willie' O'Driscoll sends his sympathies on the death of the recipient's father. 'I feel old man that I have a poor way of expressing myself. I hardly like to write at all and when writing cannot tell you all I would like to say. Such letters only awaken keen feelings of pity. There is no trouble so unanswerable as death. I have felt this myself & know what you must feel.' It was only after the funeral that he 'heard from Dredge' otherwise he would have attended 'for unlike most of your pals my time is not strictly tied by business'. On letterhead of 18 Gower Street, W.C. [London] 10 December 1888. unknown‎
