Kirzner on the title page. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Edited and with an introduction by Peter J. Boettke and Frederic Sautet. Written the year of Mises's death this is the book that brought new prominence to the Austrian theory of the entrepreneur.

NEW LEFT / COUNTERCULTURE BRYAN John Tuli Kupferberg and Israel Young et al. contributors
Other Scenes - Vol.1 No.6 September 1968
New York: John Wilcock 1968. First Edition. Tabloid 43cm; photo-illustrated newsprint wrappers; 24pp; illus. Light wear and toning to extremities faint horizontal fold at center with a long neat split to same; Good to Very Good without postal markings. Though never as popular or widely-circulated as its brethren like The East Village Other and The Berkeley Barb nor as political as such radical-left undergrounds as The Black Panther and New Left Notes John Wilcock's Other Scenes probably deserves pride of place as the most daring creative and experimental of the alternative press papers of the late Sixties. It was also - probably a function of Wilcock's comparative maturity he was already in his late thirties in 1967 - far less reliant on the sort of psychedelic mish-mosh that defined the aesthetic of most other underground papers of the period. Described in the masthead as "a revolutionary newsletter concerned with art politics sociology sex and the creation of a more equitable society" Other Scenes was heavily influenced by both the Fluxus and mail-art movements as well as Andy Warhol's avant-pop aesthetic Wilcock was a regular Factory denizen. The paper operated as much as a virtual underground club for its subscribers as it did a vehicle for news distribution; according to the masthead of an early issue Wilcock distributed the paper "twenty times a year from wherever its editor happens to be" and his mailings often included "surprises" including "newsletters newspapers letters brochures and discoveries that I make in all parts of the world." Contents include contributions by John Bryan Clem Gorman Lee Harris Israel Young Tuli Kupferberg Alex Apostolides Gary Snyder LeRoi Jones and others. John Wilcock unknown books

Creation of Israel JEWISH State
Important Documents Chronicle Zionist Movement from 1918 Balfour Declaration to the creation a Jewish national home in Palestine
Three important writings from the first half of the 20th century on Zionism and the founding of the state of Israel. These documents chronicle some of the earliest support for establishing a Jewish state in Palestine and the growing Zionist movement as anti-Semitism spread in Europe between World War I and II. Includes:<br/><br/>"The Jewish Commonwealth" by Louis J. Gribetz a representative for the New York Zionist Organization c. 1918. Gribetz analyzes the earliest statement in support of Zionism from a major international power: the Balfour Declaration in which the British government issued a statement in support of a Jewish homeland. There are no copies of this document at any institutional collection worldwide as per OCLC Worldcat for this very rare publication. <br/><br/>A signed first edition of "The case for the Jews: An interpretation of their rights under the Balfour declaration and the mandate for Palestine" Louis J. Girbetz. New York: Bloch Publishing Co 1930. "The Case for the Jews" is an indictment of British rule in Palestine. This first edition was inscribed by the author to friend and fellow activist Louis Lipsky then-President of the Zionist Organization of America: "To a keen lucid fearless intelect - Louis Lipsky; whose name and will do honor to a great epoch in our history and will forever thrill and instruct - Louis J. Gribetz." Books signed by Gribetz are uncommon; and this copy's provenance is remarkable for its connection to two important leaders.<br/><br/>"The Jewish Problem a Report By the Executive Committee of the League of Nations Union Together with an Appendix Containing Suggestions Concerning Refugees Generally". London: League of Nations 1943. This final piece examines the fate of international Jewish Refugees during World War II; the report covers Jewish persecution and anti-Semitism in Europe a two-state solution in Palestine general recommendations for international refugee crises and details the "best solution" possible: creating a Jewish national home in Palestine. Minor rust to bindings of booklets. Light wear to extremities. All in good to very good condition. A remarkable collection following the earliest support for the state of Israel to the humanitarian crisis which prompted its founding amongst international support. unknown books

DE BRY Johann Theodor and Johann ISRAEL
The Petit Voyages Parts I - X
Frankfurt 1613. 10 parts in three volumes small folio. Collations below. A few plates shaved along the foredge. Contemporary calf the covers ruled and tooled in gilt spines gilt with raised bands and gilt morocco labels some wear to covers. Bookplates on front pastedowns an occasional blindstamp see below<br/> <br/>Provenance: Earls of Macclesfield<br/> <br/>The fine Macclesfield set of De Bry's 'Petit Voyages' in a contemporary binding. This work is essential to any serious collection of travel books.<br/> <br/>A complete set of the first ten parts of the first Latin edition of the Petit Voyages of De Bry one of the grandest collections of voyages published in the Age of Discovery with all of the hundreds of maps and plates as detailed below. This series of voyages devoted mainly but not entirely to the East Indies was issued concurrently with the same publishers' Grand Voyages which are primarily devoted to the Americas. The present set is without Part XI and XII the latter so rare that even Church lacked much of the text and the appendix to Part I also a legendary rarity. Both of these parts were issued by a different publisher in 1625 and 1628 long after the rest of the series. Almost all sets lack some plates and maps and assembling complete copies has been a passion of collectors since the beginning of the collecting of voyages in the early 19th century. A number of the maps and plates are also highly prized individually which has contributed to parts being disassembled. The Petit Voyages comprise probably the greatest single collection of material on early voyages to the East Indies and are unique in their extraordinary wealth of cartographical and visual material on Africa India the Spice Islands and South Asia. The De Brys' intention as publishers to present an illustrated record sets them apart from other textual voyage collections such as Ramusio or Hakluyt. Their works are a cornerstone of any serious library of travels and voyages. The collations of the parts in the present set agree with those given in Church for the first Latin editions of each part with parts III and IX being the second issues of the first edition. Full titles and bibliographical details can be found in Church. A summary of the parts and their contents follow: Part I Vera Descriptio Regni Africani 1598. First edition. Fourteen plates and two maps on three sheets. Fillipo Pigafetta's description of the Congo describing Odoardo Lopez' voyage there in 1578 probably the most important early description of central Africa. Church 205. Part II Pars Indiae Orientalis in qua Johan. Hugonis Linscotani navagatio in Orientem 1599. First edition. Thirty-nine plates three maps and portrait of Linschoten at the head of the preface. Linschoten's famous voyages to the East of 1583-92 were published by De Bry the year after they first appeared as a separate book. Church 207. Part III Tertia Pars Indiae Orientalis. 1601. First edition second issue without the map of Nova Zembla on the verso of plate 58. Sixty plates and three maps. In this copy the plates are bound before the text. The large folding map "Descriptio Hydrographica" shows the eastern hemisphere and the routes to the east around Africa. This is a highly important piece of cartography. The rest of Linschoten Cornelius de Houtman's pioneering voyage to the East Indies of 1595-97 instrumental in opening the spice trade to the Dutch and Gerit de Veer's voyage in search of a northeast passage in 1594-96 are included. The plates show scenes in the East as well as Veer's tragic experiences in Spitzbergen where his expedition was attacked by polar bears. Church 209. Part IV Pars Quarta Indiae Orientalis. 1601. First edition. Twenty-one plates image in plate 20 printed upside down. Linschoten and Houtman's voyages concluded and the voyage of Jacob von Neck and Wybrandt van Warwijck to the East Indies in 1598-99. As in the two previous parts most of the plates are scenes in the East Indies. Church 211. Part V Quinta Pars Indiae Orientalis. 1601. Sole edition first issue.Twenty plates. More material on Von Neck and the establishment of Dutch power in Bantam. Church 212. Part VI Indiae Orientalis Pars VI. 1604. Sole edition first issue. Twenty-six plates. Pieter de Maree's description of Guinea in 1600 and other early voyages to Guinea by the Portuguese Dutch and French. This whole section therefore relates to the Gold and Slave coasts of Africa and the growing European trading presence there which laid the foundation for the trans-Atlantic slave trade. Church 213. Part VII Indiae Orientalis Pars Septima. 1606. Sole edition first issue. Twenty-two plates. Joris von Spilbergen's voyage to Ceylon in 1601-4 and Gasparo Balbi's voyage to Pegu via Syria in 1579-88. This part is mainly devoted to India and Ceylon with excellent plates of the latter. Church 216. Part VIII Indiae Orientalis Pars Octava. 1607. Sole edition first issue. Eighteen plates. A collection of five Dutch voyages to the East Indies 1600-6 including trips to China and the Spice Islands all illustrating the rising Dutch power in the East. The plates show various military encounters and a famous double-page plate of Macao. Note that in this copy plate 13 a double-page plate is bound in between plates 11 and 12 i.e. on the verso of plate 11 and on the conjoined leaf. Church 218. Part IX Indiae Orientalis Pars Nona. 1612. First edition second issue. Seventeen plates. A world map appears on the supplementary title to the extra plates section. This part describes the voyage of Admiral Pieter Willemsz to the Spice Islands to seize them from the Portuguese written by one of the officers on the expedition. Church 221. Part X Indiae Orientalis Pars X. 1613. First edition. Three plates and three maps. This part is important on several accounts. The first section gives one of the first published accounts of Hudson Bay describing the explorations of Henry Hudson. The most important of these is the map showing Henry Hudson's explorations which was first published the year before by Hessel Gerritsz in Amsterdam. It is the first map of Hudson Bay and the adjacent country and is present here in a slightly reduced version of Gerritsz's map with the name of the island "Frisland" clearly engraved see Burden. The double-page map shows Hudson's Bay in the west and stretches all the way east to include Ireland and Iceland. Befitting Hudson's extensive explorations the coast line of Hudson Bay is quite detailed and accurate place names are noted and islands in the bay are shown. Hudson did make mistakes however in his charting of the southern part of the bay in a rectangular shape. "This map serves as the foundation piece to Canada's basic economic history. It served as the only functional chart to the northern regions of Canada for several decades and enabled the successful establishment of the Hudson Bay Company which was to dominate trade exploration and the economic development of Canada for a long time" - Kershaw. The second section of Part X of De Bry describes other voyages to the North by Linschoten while the third section relates to De Quiros and his supposed discovery of a new continent "Terra Australis Incognita." The other two maps relate to a search for a Northeast passage. Church 222. A rare opportunity to acquire one of the great monuments of early travel literature.<br/> <br/>Church as cited above. For the Hudson map: Burden 162; Kershaw Early Printed Maps of Canada 53b & pp.55-58; Schwartz & Ehrenberg p.94; Verner & Stuart-Stubbs The Northpart of America 29. unknown books

Nova Alphati Effictio.
1575. DE BRY Johann Theodor and J. I. DE BRY. Nova Alphati Effictio histories ad singulas literas correspondentibus et toreumate Bryanaeo artificiose in aes incises illustrate
. Engraved title-page 24 elaborately engraved plates of letters all with grotesque Mannerist ornamentation. 4to. 325 x 212 mm bound by Rivière in full crushed brown morocco triple gilt fillet on covers floral gilt ornaments in corners spine with intricate floral tooling in compartments a.e.g. Frankfurt: De Bry 1595. First Edition of this celebrated and rare Renaissance Alphabet Book. "Elles représentent un grand Alphabet majuscule dont les lettres sont formées par découpures mouvementées ornées de figures de trophées d'oiseaux de fleurs et de fruits" Guilmard Les Maîtres Ornemanistes p. 368. The letters appear in uppercase and are embedded within elaborate ornamentation consisting of Biblical figures nymphs fauns musical instruments cherubs lovers insects fruits birds trophies fish lobsters flowers splendid entrelacs and luxurious arabesques. These extravagant illustrations are characterized by a disintegration of reality in which the forms have been redistributed in accordance with the fantasy of the De Bry brothers. The mixture of grotesque classical and symbolic imagery executed with supreme artistic bravado elevates this work to the pinnacle of published ornamental alphabet books. Each engraving is accompanied by a letterpress text in German and Latin on the verso where the subject matter is identified. The engravings are individually "signed" with "J.T.B. fe." A second edition of the work appeared at Cologne in 1613. The rarity of this first edition is attested by the recent facsimile of it Ravensburg 1997. No copies sold at auction as listed by ABPC; OCLC lists 7 copies in America at Houghton Morgan Library NYPL Walters Art Gallery RISD Newberry and the University of Virginia. There are also 7 copies listed in European institutions. This copy had the engravings cut out and mounted during the nineteenth century on large papier Hollande in a folio format. However the size of the cut-out sheets 195 x 150 mm remains fully intact; the folio sheets measure 325 x 212 mm. Some insignificant spots to interleaved sheets binding with minor rubbing to extremities. This copy lacks the two dedication leaves which includes the text to the letter A on the verso of the second leaf. A desirable copy nonetheless.
