‎Institution de l'Aumosne Générale de Lyon. Ensemble l'œconomie et règlemens qui s'observent dans l'Hôpital de Nôtre-Dame de la Charité, où sont les Pauvres renfermez de ladite Aumône.‎

‎Lyon, sans nom, 1699 ; in-4 ; veau havane marbré, dos à nerfs très décoré et doré au fer aux oiseaux, titre doré, roulette sur les coupes, tranches mouchetées (reliure de l'époque) ; (16), 142, (2) pp., au titre grand bois gravé du blason de la Charité, bandeaux et culs-de-lampe gravés sur bois.‎

‎Dernière édition du XVIIe siècle. Une photographie est collée sur le contreplat. Quelques petites rousseurs et traces de manipulation, mors très légèrement fendu mais reliure bien solide ; bon exemplaire dans l'ensemble. L'organisation de la Charité de Lyon se fit lors de la grande famine de 1531 qui vit affluer des milliers d'affamés vers Lyon ; la ville s'organisa si bien, qu'elle réussit à faire face à ce grand malheur et décida plus tard de fonder l'Hôpital de la Charité au début du XVIIe siècle ; accueillir en permanence plus de 1 500 pauvres, les soigner et les assister dans tous les domaines demandait une organisation bien précise dont on trouvera ici toutes les règles.‎

‎[Scotland] [Highland Potato Famine]‎

‎19th Century Scottish Farm Ledger 1845-1848‎

‎1848. Full Leather. Good binding. 5-1/4" x 3-3/8." 108 pp. Full brown leather over flexible boards. Vertical red rules for accounting printed on each page. 1-3/8" strip of leather neatly removed from the fore-edge of the front cover; occasional ink spotting and minor stains throughout; toned leaves with a few creases; faded pencil calculations to pastedowns. <br /> <br /> Interesting mid-19th century farm ledger apparently from eastern Scotland possibly Inverurie or Aberdeen recorded during the great famines in Ireland and the Scottish Highlands. The currency symbols at the top of the expense and income columns appear to be in pounds shilling and pence and various place and personal names which appear repeatedly in the text – i.e. Commercial Co. of Port Elfinston sic Aberdeen Wm. Duncan et al – lead to our deducing this locale. Although the ledger is anonymous the names of Robert Frasier Brach and James Dugard appear possibly as business clients as do the names of the recorder's many temporary workers. These workers usually hired around the planting and harvesting season are both male and female and include Mary Ellice Jas Marr George Dugard Wm. Duncan Alex Burr and many others. <br /> <br /> Extensively detailed and highly readable this ledger document the many expenses and income sources of a working farm showing precise amounts for equipment scythes and carts feature prominently horses bolls of meal barrels of lime whisky and various other sundries. The farm's produce relied heavily on grains especially corn and barley just as the Corn Laws were being heatedly debated in Parliament and its overall diversity demonstrates the crop diversity that allowed eastern Scotland and the Lowlands to evade the ravages of the potato blight; plots and crops for planting the "slack land" are also demarcated. Charts showing daily employee wages are also of special note. <br /> <br /> Overall a unique useful and well-maintained agricultural document concurrent with and standing in stark contrast to the devastation occurring in the western portion of the country and Ireland at that time. unknown‎

‎[United Kingdom – Immigration – Great Famine] Herdman, John‎

‎1845 Advertisement for John Herdman’s Emigrant Passage Office with Letter Offering Commission for Finding Clients‎

‎New York City 1845. Two printed pages measuring 9 ¾ x 11 ½ inches one signed. Folded and slightly wrinkled near fine. A circular advertising passage between Great Britain and Ireland and numerous locations in the United States from Boston to New Orleans by a regular packet ship service managed by John Herdman and Company. The company also offered remittances whereby an individual in the US could send money to a friend or relative back across the Atlantic generally to pay for their passage to the States.<br /> <br /> The second sheet a signed letter offers a commission for finding customers: five percent of the passage fare and one percent of the remittance money. In 1845 the Great Famine in Ireland was just beginning and Ireland would lose a large proportion of its population not just to starvation but also to emigration. Earning commission on remittances could have been quite lucrative: the National Museum of Ireland estimates that the amount sent back to Ireland in remittances between 1845 and 1854—the height of the famine—reached $19 million. unknown‎

‎The Foreign Office and the Famine: British Documents on Ukraine and the Great Famine of 1932-1933 - Robert Conquest's Copy‎

‎Signed and inscribed "For Robert Conquest, with admiration" atop title page, apparently by Luciuk, at Kingston, Ontario in 2008. Conquest [1917-1915] was a renowned author and sovietologist once described by a close adviser to Margaret Thatcher as Britain's greatest living historian. His landmark 1986 treatise 'The Harvest of Sorrow' documented the Ukraine's great terror-famine of 1932-1933. 493 pages. Footnotes, bibliography and index. Fold-out colour map. "The documents reveal that even at the height of the famine the Soviet authorities denied that there was starvation, rejected foreign aid, and exported food, and that senior British officials refused to alert the public and discouraged private relief. This collection thus furnishes evidence about the causes, course and consequences of one of the great politically engineered famines of the twentieth century." - back cover. Unmarked with moderate wear. Binding tight. A sound and special association copy of this important historical record. Book‎

‎Conquest, Robert [Signed]‎

‎The Harvest of Sorrow: Soviet Collectivization and the Terror-Famine‎

‎Signed by Robert Conquest [1917-2015] upon title page. Also signed and inscribed by Bob [Robert Conquest] to Joe [Joseph D. Dwyer, 1942-2017] upon front free endpaper in the year of publication. Dwyer was an invaluable resource to Conquest at the Hoover Institution and succeeded him as curator of its Russian collection in 2002. 412 pages with black and white plates, extensive footnotes, select bibliography and index. "A meticulous and moving account of a momentous, tragic yet neglected chapter of modern history [now known as the Holodomor]. Presents for the first time the full story of Stalin's collectivization program and its consequences. Reconstructs the background of the events and carefully details the fate of villages and individuals, the desperate condition of children left homeless, and the various cruelties and agonies of the man-made famine that followed. Seeks a true accounting of the death toll and shows how the West has long been deceived about what really happened." - dust jacket. "Conquest's excellently and professionally written book investigates the most serious crime of Leninist-Stalinist communism: its war against the peasantry of the U.S.S.R., which, before its destruction, constituted 82 percent of the entire population." - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. Unmarked with light overall wear. Tight and square. Dust jacket preserved in mylar. This stark testament of one of the greatest crimes in human history is a must for the shelf of any serious sovietologist. Book‎
