Lucjan Paff (edited and translated by), Józef Piłsudski (signed by)
W Walce O Wolnosc / In Fight For Freedom / In Lotta Per La Libertà + three original Polish WW2 pictures, including a photograph of Marshal Jozef Pilsudski signed by himself
This is a set which belonged to Janusz Gluchowski, a high-ranking Polish military officer at the time of the WW2. The set contains three original B&W pictures. First one: undated postcard showing Marshal Jozef Pilsudski, signed by himself in black ink, 8.5 x 13.5 cm, with two embossed mentions above and below. Second picture: undated postcard showing Poland President Gabriel Narutowicz, with a written mention on the back. Third picture: 11 x 15.5 cm photograph. General Tadeusz Bór-Komorowski inspecting a British Cromwell tank, accompanied by Polish officers of the 3rd Armored Regiment (3 puk pancerny). The image was captured during an official ceremony in the city of Kelso, Scotland, in the immediate post-war period, on June 15, 1945. The scene shows the General in an observation position, climbing onto the tank while surrounded by Polish soldiers. The tank corresponds to a British model widely used by Polish forces in exile during the Western European campaign. On the reverse, the following handwritten inscriptions appear: VI 1945, Kelso. N. Wódz gen. Bór-Komorowski dokonuje inspekcji 3 p. panc. N. Wódz w towarzystwie bryg. puku na czogu." / June 15, 1945, Kelso The book is an illustrated three-languages (Polish, English and Italian) set commemorating the struggles of the Polish II Corps. Edited by Wyda Rererat [Referat] Kultury i Prasy Kresowej Dywizji Piechoty in Rome, 1945. Oblong book of 21 x 19 cm, unpaginated (144 pp.). Cover detached. Endpapers and first page show Janusz Gluchowski's stamp. In publisher's photographically illustrated wrappers. Each page contains a photographic image or a photomontage accompanied with a short text in three languages. Front cover shows some wear and tear, the binding is a bit loose - we would advise having this book bound. The Polish II Corps was a major tactical and operational unit recruited from Polish deportees in the Soviet Gulags in 1943. First they fought in the Middle East, and in 1944 February they were transferred to Italy and as independent part of the British Army to fight in the Italian campaign, in the battles of Monte Cassino and Ancona and also the Battle of Bologna during the final offensive in Italy in 1945. The book goes through the story of Poland and the later established Polish II Corps, starting with the German and Soviet occupation in 1939. It shows the deportation of Poles to forced labour to the Gulag and, after the Polish-Russian Military Agreement in 1941, the establishment of the Polish Army on Soviet soil, also their military training and their fights in various battles. Janusz Julian Gluchowski was a Major General in the Polish Army during the Second Polish Republic. He was born on August 6, 1888, in Bukowa. He fought in the Polish Legions in World War I, the Polish-Ukrainian War, the Polish-Soviet War, and the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany, Slovakia, and the Soviet Union in 1939, which culminated in the start of World War II. In his adolescence, he attended high school in Czstochowa. In 1905, he became a member of the Combat Organization of the Polish Socialist Party and was wounded in the hand during an attack near Czstochowa. To avoid arrest by the Russian authorities, he left for Belgium, where he studied at the University of Liège. He returned to divided Poland around 1910 and settled in Austrian Galicia. In 1912 he graduated from the Officers' School of the Riflemen's Association in Stroza, near Krakow. In the early hours of August 1914, he commanded a platoon in Oleandria and was Wadysaw Belina-Pramowski's representative during the legendary attack of the so-called Seven Lancers of Belina (Uaska siódemka). On August 6th, together with the First Cadre Company, he left Krakow and marched to Miechów. In October 1914 he was promoted to Lieutenant (Poruchik) and, in November 1916, to Rittmeister (Cavalry Master). Until 1917 he served in the First Uhlan Regiment of the Polish Legions. After the Oath Crisis (Kryzys przysigowy) he was interned first in Fort Beniaminów and later in Werl. Released in October 1918, he went to Lublin, where, in early November, he formed the Third Ulan Regiment (later renamed the Seventh Ulan Regiment of Lublin). Along with his unit, he fought in the Polish-Soviet War. On May 29, 1920, he was promoted to Polkovnik. He was transferred in July 1920 to Eastern Galicia, taking command of the First Cavalry Brigade, fighting against the Soviets in Galicia and Volhynia. After the war, he remained in this position until 1925, when he was transferred to the Fourth Cavalry Brigade. Promoted to Brigadier General on March 16, 1927. Appointed commander of the Center for Higher Military Studies on June 4, 1930, and three years later, after the death of General Stanislaw Tessaro, he was appointed commander of Military District X in Przemyl. In October 1935, he became Deputy Minister of Military Affairs. In the early days of the 1939 invasion of Poland, Gluchowski ordered General Walerian Czuma to prepare the defense of Warsaw. In mid-September 1939, he fled to Romania. After his escape, he managed to travel to the Middle East and, in January 1941, received orders to go to London. In October 1941, he was appointed Commander of the Training Brigade stationed in Scotland. On September 23, 1943, he was appointed commander of all Polish Army units stationed in Great Britain, except the First Independent Parachute Brigade, which remained under the authority of the Commander-in-Chief. He was promoted to Major General on June 1, 1945. He decided not to return to Soviet-occupied Poland and remained in Great Britain. He frequently criticized the Soviet regime and the Soviet occupation authorities in postwar Poland. Furthermore, he was one of the founders and president of the Jozef Pilsudski Institute in London. He was, therefore, an active member of the Polish community in Great Britain. He was president and honorary member of several Polish veterans' organizations. He died on June 11, 1964, in London, England.

London, John and Paul Knapton in Ludgate Street, 1748. This is a subscriber copy, so the real first edition of Anson's book. A brick of a book with 215 x 260 mm, 80 mm thick. 33 unpaginated pp. at the beginning, 417 (2) pp. Contemporary thick binding of a deep purple hue, four nerves on the spine, three black title pieces with author's name, book title and year in gold print characters.

The victory of Anson's Centurion launched the age of British dominance over the oceans and paved the way for a Victorian empire where "the sun never sets."

[RICCOBONI (Marie Jeanne Laboras de Mézières, dame)]
Lettres de Mistriss Fanni Butlerd à Milord Charles Alfred de Caitombridge, comte de Plisinte, duc de Raflingth, Écrites en 1735, Traduites de l’Anglais en 1756 par Adélaïde de Varançai.
Paris, Par la Société des Libraires, Paris, Par la Société des Libraires1757 ; in-12, veau fauve marbré, dos à nerfs et ornements dorés, tranches rouges. (Reliure de l’époque) 164 pp.Édition à la date de l’originale. Deux éditions ont paru en 1757, l’une à l’adresse d’Amsterdam et celle-ci, donnée par les Libraires Associés de Paris. Mylne Martin 57.12C’est le premier des dix romans de madame Riccoboni. Avec ce livre, elle met au goût du jour le style épistolaire pratiqué en Angleterre par Richardson que l’abbé Prévost avait traduit avec beaucoup de succès. Ce premier roman est inspiré par une aventure personnelle de l’auteur. Persécutée par un mari violent et débauché, l’acteur Antoine François Riccoboni qu’elle avait épousé en 1734, elle l’avait quitté en 1755. “M. Boissonade a révélé cette particularité connue de peu de personnes, les lettres de Fanny Butler, données sous forme d’un roman, doivent leur origine à une liaison d’amour très réelle, et furent adressées à M. de Maillebois, dont elle était folle, et qui la quitta fort brusquement.” Gay II, 827.À la suite est relié un autre roman épistolaire de madame Riccoboni : Lettres de Milady Juliette Catesby à Milady Henriette Campley, son amie. Seconde édition. Amsterdam, 1759 ; 172 pages. Seconde édition publiée la même année que l’originale. Mylne Martin, 59.22 - Gay II, 827 : “Petit roman sentimental, bien écrit et devenu classique”. Coins inférieurs usés, sinon bel exemplaire.

Eustace Mullins
The Biological Jew
Staunton (VA), Faith and Service Books, 1968. First edition. A slim booklet of 140 x 215 mm, 86 pp. Title and author name written in green on the front cover and spine. A piece of paper with the editor's newer address has been glued over the original editor information on the title page. Three chapters: The Parasite, The Biological Jew, The Shabez Goy. A friend of the poet and political thinker Ezra Pound, author of books such as The Federal Reserve Conspiracy (1971) and The World Order: A Study in the Hegemony of Parasitism (1985), Eustace Mullins (1923-2010) started life as a serious flâneur or self-taught man: he quickly became a renowned painter, a painting restorer, had a stint as a US Air Force pilot and worked as a consultant, researcher and editor. Later on he started to pull the curtain of mainstream narratives and embarked in a life of thoughtcrimes. Many of his titles are still in print today and are considered more relevant than ever.

James Bryce
The American Commonwealth
London and New York, MacMillan, 1888. Three volumes bound in full vellum leather. First edition. Three delicately bound 155 x 220 mm (6" x 8.5") volumes of (xxxii) 592, 683 and 699 pp. Full caramel vellum leather, intricately ornated spines with 5 nerves, gilded frames and boxes containing lush greenery-inspired patterns and fleurons, all gilded, double titlepiece with the book title, author's name and volume Roman number on dark red and anthracite backgrounds, gilded floral frieze on the tails. Covers with double gilded frames and tiny corner flowers. All fore-edges colored in a mostly blue polychromia with marbled red veins. Gilded roulette work on the edges of the covers and pastedowns, colored endpapers. Unidentified ex-libris on the first pastedown bearing the motto "Ab Multis Ad Unum." With an unfolding map of "The Growth of the United States" at the beginning of the first volume. Table of contents at the beginning and index at the end of each volume. First volume: The National Government. Preface. Second volume: The State Government and the Party System. Third volume: Public Opinion, Illustrations and Reflections, Social Institutions. This book is not an encyclopaedia of the institutions of the American Republic, even though it may look like it is. Actually, James Bryce talks about the real workings of the institutions: parties, bosses, the spoil system and the public opinion. It shows an America already different from what the mere Constitution says. He compares the British monarchy with the American federal republic, the democratic versus lord elites and the centralization vs local power dynamics.

An analytical tour de force, worthy of a serious Americana collection.
