[AVIATION] BELLONTE, Maurice; [COSTES, Dieudonne] [WEISS, Rene]
La Premiére Traversée Aérienne Paris-New York par Costes et Bellonte The First Aerial Crossing from Paris-New York By Costes and Bellonte
Paris: Imprimerie Nationale 1931. First Edition. Small folio. 34cm. Later heavy grain oatmeal cloth with black leather title label to spine. 258pp.; 1. Clean and strong minor bumping to spine ends; internally clean and fresh illustrated throughout with photographs color images and charts all with captioned tissue guards. A near fine copy.<br /> <br /> <br /> From the library of Nathaniel Tarn noted poet translator and anthropologist bearing his bookplate to the front pastedown. A lavish and justifiably celebratory account of the first aerial crossing from Paris to New York performed in 1930 as the second traversal attempt by Costes and Bellonte with the first having to be abandoned in 1929 due to bad weather. The duo successfully made the crossing of 3850 miles in 37 hours and 18 minutes to international fanfare in their Breguet 19 Super Bidon named "Point D'Interrogation" or "Question Mark". Bellonte's rather lush and impressive account is quite scarce in trade and considering the importance of Costes and Bellonte's singular achievement seems sparse in institiutional holdings.

[BLENKINSOP (Adam)]
A Transport Voyage to the Mauritius and back; touching at the Cape of Good Hope and St. Helena. By the Author of "Paddiana;" "A Hot-Water Cure," etc.
First Edition, frontispiece of the ship on the fifteenth morning, vii, [1], 303, [1] pp., original cloth, gilt, hinges a little frayed, all edges gilt, a nice bright copy. The author set sail from Cork to Port Louis in Mauritius. On the homeward journey he sailed for Port Elizabeth in South Africa, and hr gives a short account of what existed in the town at this period. He considered that the old name of Algoa Bat was far more suitable; and depreciated the custom of renaming places in Africa, which was so prevalent at this time. Dr. Blenkinsop made a stay of some duration at Cape Town, and gives a description of the town and its inhabitants, making some facetious remarks on what is termed the "posterial luxuriance" of some of the females of the country. Continuing the journey home he called at St. Helena, describing James Town, and steered for Ascension Island, which he calls "a desolate island". The small British settlement there, "exhibits the striking contrast of a green patch on the burnt soil, with a few neat white houses." Mendelssohn, p.136; Toussaint and Adolphe, Bibliography of Mauritius, D165.

[British Empire – Mauritius – Slavery] Unknown Author
1830 Letter Written from Mauritius Describing Economic and Social Conditions on the “Ebony Isleâ€
Mahébourg Mauritius 1830. Single unsigned fourteen-page letter measuring 8 x 12 ¾ inches. Folded with some stains and pencil marks. Overall near fine. In 1830 Mauritius was a British colony captured from the French in 1810 during the Napoleonic Wars. It was originally a Dutch colony and the Dutch had introduced enslaved labor to the islands. Enslaved people were imported from Madagascar India and Southeast Asia to harvest the valuable ebony trees and later to farm sugarcane. It became a French colony in 1715 and among other provisions the French government awarded upper-class colonists large land grants each with twenty enslaved people to work them. Slavery was abolished in 1835 under British rule after which the planters still farming sugarcane turned to indentured servant labor from India and China alongside illegal slavery.1<br /> <br /> Offered here is a lengthy single letter written by an unknown author to an unknown recipient from Mahébourg in 1830 shortly before this radical change. The letter describes the lives and economic circumstances of the planters and merchants and of the non-white population particularly Malabar people and free and enslaved Black people.<br /> <br /> Noting that “every inch of ground that will produce sugar cane is planted with it†including “the former fine gardens to some of the Habitations†the author reports on the situation for sugar planters:<br /> <br /> “The price of sugar here is not more than 20/per Cwt. for the best quality which does not now remunerate the Planter as his expenses are becoming every day more heavy in consequence of their slaves diminishing . The want of Slaves induced many of the Planters to send for Chinese Labourers and several hundreds were imported at a great expense but unfortunately they did not answer and were obliged to be reshipped for their native Country again at the charge of those who sent for them.â€<br /> <br /> The author later notes that “nearly everyone of the Planters have heavy mortgages on their Estates and are obliged to pay this immense Interest which keeps them poor and will I fear ultimately ruin themâ€. In fact the planters in British Mauritius had extra duties on their sugar exports compared with their Caribbean counterparts. The shopkeepers on the other hand “calculate on retiring with a fortune in five years– therefore you will fancy what must be their prices also their profits.â€<br /> <br /> Though writing from Mahébourg the author describes the capital city of Port Louis at length especially its Malabar Indian and free Black residents—the lives of the latter particularly the free Black women seem especially grim. They write:<br /> <br /> “The Centre of Port Louis is inhabited by all the respectable people and many most excellent houses buildings– the Catholic Chapel the English Church amongst the number. The Suburbs to the West is the part occupied by about 3000 Malabars called ‘Malabar Town.’ – They are dressed mostly in white with Turbans ear rings c c and the females with ornaments in their noses and on their Toes as they generally go bare foot. – Once a year they have what is called a ‘Yamsee’ or a festival in honor of Mehomet which lasts for about a fortnight during which time they seem to get no sleep a continual beating of tom toms – jingling of bells – carrying pagodas which are made of various coloured paper and most richly ornamented followed by all the population of their Caste with their faces daubed with red white c and which has a most ludicrous appearance. The Suburbs to the South is called ‘black Camp’ – the Houses being very small and poor and inhabited by all the free blacks as well as many Mulattoes. – Also a certain class of females of the population of colour – who are visited immediately on the Arrival of a Ship the Crews soon enquiring the way to the ‘Camp.’â€<br /> <br /> As regards relations between the races the author recounts an incident that followed the 1828 abolition of the color bar which would ostensibly give the free non-white population the same rights as the whites:<br /> <br /> “The Theatre is a very good one but has been closed for several months past the Actors Actresses gone to Bourbon in consequence of the promulgation of the act ‘causing all free people of the population of Colour’ to have the same laws – the same privileges as the Whites’ fearing they ought come to the Theatre which they had hitherto been forbidden thereby cause disturbances as the French Whites detest them wd. not sit in the same box it was considered best to shut the Theatre which is a great loss to the Place it being the chief public amusement and indeed the only one we have here.â€<br /> <br /> Overall a detailed letter giving insight into life in a slave colony at a time when significant changes were on the horizon. Of interest to scholars of the colonial history of Mauritius and the second wave of British colonialism.<br /> <br /> 1 Truth and Justice Commission Report of the Truth and Justice Commission Vol. 1 Mauritius: Government Printing 2011. unknown

[Casement, Roger] Singleton-Gates, Peter and Girodias, Maurice
The Black Diaries - An Account of Roger Casement's Life and Times with a Collection of his Diaries and Public Writings With two very interesting newspaper-clippings loosely inserted.
1959. Paris The Olympia Press 1959. Large Octavo 17.2 cm wide x 25.5 cm. 626 pages with numerous photographs throughout. Original Hardcover with original dustjacket in protective collector's mylar. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear. The very rare Olympia Press Edition. Chapters in this monumental publication are: Irish Childhood / Africa / The Congo Report / The 1903 Diary / The Putumayo / The 1910 Diary / The Putumayo Report / The Awakening of Ireland / The Trial / The Aftermath / Appendix: The 1911 Diary Roger David Casement Irish: Ruairí Dáithí Mac Easmainn; 1 September 1864 3 August 1916 known as Sir Roger Casement CMG between 1911 and 1916 was a diplomat and Irish nationalist executed by the United Kingdom for treason during World War I. He worked for the British Foreign Office as a diplomat becoming known as a humanitarian activist and later as a poet and Easter Rising leader. Described as the "father of twentieth-century human rights investigations" he was honoured in 1905 for the Casement Report on the Congo Free State and knighted in 1911 for his important investigations of human rights abuses in the rubber industry in Peru. In Africa as a young man Casement first worked for commercial interests before joining the British Colonial Service. In 1891 he was appointed as a British consul a profession he followed for more than 20 years. Influenced by the Second Boer War and his investigation into colonial atrocities against indigenous peoples Casement grew to mistrust imperialism. After retiring from consular service in 1913 he became more involved with Irish republicanism and other separatist movements. During World War I he made efforts to gain German military aid for the 1916 Easter Rising that sought to gain Irish independence. He was arrested convicted and executed for high treason. He was stripped of his knighthood and other honours. Before during and after the trial British security agents and police showed typescripts prepared by the Metropolitan police to influential persons. These were said to be official copies of his private journals which detailed homosexual activities. Given prevailing views and existing laws on homosexuality this material undermined support for clemency. Disputes have continued about these diaries; a private handwriting comparison study in 2002 concluded that Casement had written the diaries but this was contested by several scholars. Casement worked in the Congo for Henry Morton Stanley and the African International Association from 1884; this association became known as a front for King Leopold II of Belgium in his takeover of what became the so-called Congo Free State. Casement worked on a survey to improve communication and recruited and supervised workmen in building a railroad to bypass the lower 220 miles 350 km of the Congo River which is made unnavigable by cataracts in order to improve transportation and trade to the Upper Congo. During his commercial work he learned African languages. In 1890 Casement met Joseph Conrad who had come to the Congo to pilot a merchant ship Le Roi des Belges 'King of the Belgians'. Both were inspired by the idea that "European colonisation would bring moral and social progress to the continent and free its inhabitants 'from slavery paganism and other barbarities.' Each would soon learn the gravity of his error." Conrad published his short novel Heart of Darkness in 1899 exploring the colonial ills. Casement later exposed the conditions he found in the Congo during an official investigation for the British government. In these formative years he also met Herbert Ward and they became longtime friends. Ward left Africa in 1889 and devoted his time to becoming an artist and his experience there strongly influenced his work. Casement joined the Colonial Service under the authority of the Colonial Office first serving overseas as a clerk in British West Africa. In August 1901 he transferred to the Foreign Office service as British consul in the eastern part of the French Congo. In 1903 the Balfour Government commissioned Casement then its consul at Boma in the Congo Free State to investigate the human rights situation in that colony of the Belgian king Leopold II. Setting up a private army known as the Force Publique Leopold had squeezed revenue out of the people of the territory through a reign of terror in the harvesting and export of rubber and other resources. In trade Belgium shipped guns and other materials to the Congo used chiefly to suppress the local people. 2014 Faroe Islands stamp depicting Casement and Daniel Jacob Danielsen his Faroese boat captain and assistant. Casement travelled for weeks in the upper Congo Basin to interview people throughout the region including workers overseers and mercenaries. He delivered a long detailed eyewitness report to the Crown that exposed abuses: "the enslavement mutilation and torture of natives on the rubber plantations".22 It became known as the Casement Report of 1904. King Leopold had held the Congo Free State since 1885 when the Berlin Conference of European powers and the United States effectively gave him free rein in the area. Leopold had exploited the territory's natural resources mostly rubber as a private entrepreneur not as king of the Belgians. Using violence and murder against men and their families Leopold's private Force Publique had decimated many native villages in the course of forcing the men to gather rubber and abusing them to increase productivity. Casement's report provoked controversy and some companies with a business interest in the Congo rejected its findings as did Casement's former boss Alfred Lewis Jones. When the report was made public opponents of Congolese conditions formed interest groups such as the Congo Reform Association founded by E. D. Morel with Casement's support and demanded action to relieve the situation of the Congolese. Other European nations followed suit as did the United States. The British Parliament demanded a meeting of the 14 signatory powers to review the 1885 Berlin Agreement defining interests in Africa. The Belgian Parliament pushed by Socialist leader Emile Vandervelde and other critics of the king's Congolese policy forced Léopold to set up an independent commission of inquiry. In 1905 despite Leopold's efforts it confirmed the essentials of Casement's report. On 15 November 1908 the parliament of Belgium took over the Congo Free State from Leopold and organised its administration as the Belgian Congo. Wikipedia hardcover

Octavo; original brown cloth. <p><p>One of 500 copies published of this early and influential Cook bibliography by the doyen of Cook collecting Sir Maurice Holmes. One of two standard bibliographical references for the voyages of Captain Cook it is discursive and more attuned to the collector than Beddie's bibliography which by comparison is encyclopaedic. This is the second and best version revised and greatly expanded from Holmes' original 1936 essay which notes Holmes 'contained one shocking howler. and half a dozen more venial errors'.</p> <p>It was put together by a significant collector: Holmes's Cook collection is today in the UCLA library. Like Holmes's earlier and less authoritative "Introduction to the Bibliography of Captain Cook" of 1936 it was published by the English bookseller Francis Edwards at that time well known for its specialisation in books of voyages and travels.</p> </p> .

[Gariel, Marie Maurice]
Catalogue des Appareils et Instruments de Médecine et de Chirurgie en Caoutchouc Vulcanisé Catalog of Vulcanized Rubber Medical and Surgical Apparatus and Instruments Varnout et Galante
Paris: Imprimerie Administrative de Paul Dupont/ Varnout et Galante 1852. First edition second printing. Softcover. g to vg. Small quarto. 49 1pp. Illustrated blue wrappers with black lettering on the covers. String-tied binding for the book block.<br /> <br /> A scarce illustrated catalog of early vulcanized rubber medical devices manufactured by the French company Varnout et Galante. Included here are more than 80 medical surgical and gynecological instruments designed under the supervision of physician and gynecologist Marie Maurice Gariel 1811-1878. The work includes numerous small engraved figures throughout illustrating various products. Each item is numbered for reference with a description some brief and some longer. The products include not only items related to reproductive medicine and women's health such as breast-feeding instruments vaginal douches tampons urethral probes and urinals for incontinence but also more general medical equipment such as crutches braces bandages protective gloves mattress pads for medical beds restraints compression belts and inflatable cushions. <br /> <br /> This publication is notable and intriguing in that it was produced at a time when both the modern medical field of gynecology was in it's infancy and the revolutionary process of vulcanizing rubber was a newly established industry. Only eight years earlier in 1844 American chemist and engineer Charles Goodyear had patented the groundbreaking process for manufacturing this material on an industrial scale and its wide range of potential uses was just starting to be discovered. The introductory pages extoll the virtues of the new technology of vulcanized rubber and include tables comparing vulcanize to un-vulcanized rubber under various metrics. Table of contents at the rear.<br /> <br /> Text in French.<br /> <br /> Wrappers with minor rubbing to extremities and small chips to the bottom right corners of the front cover and at a few points on the spine. Light foxing at the bottom of the back cover. Interior with a very few tiny sporadic stains but otherwise very clean. Wrappers in good interior in very good condition overall. Scarce. Protected in modern mylar. Full title: Catalogue des Appareils et Instruments de Médecine et de Chirurgie en Caoutchouc Vulcanisé Fabriqués sous la Direction Immédiate de M. Le Doctuer Gariel Par Varnout et Galante<br /> <br /> This second printing is the same in every way to the first printing of the previous year save that the printed year at the bottom of the title page has been adjusted to 1852 instead of 1851.<br /> <br /> Marie Maurice Gariel 1811-1878 was a French physician and gynecologist. He was a member of the Société anatomique de Paris Anatomical Society of Paris and a notable figure in the focus of reproductive medicine and women's health at a time when the field of gynecology was in its early stages. His son was noted French physician and medical engineer Charles-Marie Gariel 1841-1924. Imprimerie Administrative de Paul Dupont/ Varnout et Galante unknown

[Girodias, Maurice]
L'Affaire Lolita. Defense de l'Ecrevain
Paris: The Olympia Press 1957. Softcover. First edition numbered and limited to 5000 copies this copy #691; 9 1/4 x 5 3/4; pp. 4 7-105 5; blue and yellow wraps printed in black and white; a few minor nicks to edges of wraps; a bit of age-toning; light wear to tips of spine; very good or better condition. Shortly after its first publication by The Olympia Press Lolita was subjected to censorship banned in France and seized by the French authorities together with 25 other works by the publishing company. Maurice Girodias founder of The Olympia Press and compiler of the current book vehemently opposed the ban and would eventually sue the Government and would win the lawsuit. Publishing the book as a solicitation for support Girodias included his own article "L'Affaire Lolita" a poem by Nabokov excerpts from Lolita letters and others. The title was a play-on-words and reference to "L'Affaire Miller" dubbed so by the French press some 20 years earlier and regarding the release of another banned book - Henry Miller's "The Tropic of Cancer" - published by Girodias' own father Jack Kahane.

Barnard signed on the recto of the last leaf with clasp gilt title on front panel gilt edges gilt turn-ins. Pastedowns and flyleaves are covered with white moiré. <p><br /> A memorial album commemorating the death of the greatest Jewish philanthropist of the nineteenth century Baron Maurice de Hirsch offered by the Jews of Boston to his widow and family.<br /> <p><p><br /> This delicate memorial album signed by twenty-two representatives of Jewish associations of Boston was prepared by the commission of the Boston Jews under the auspices of the American Committee here Society for Ameliorating the Condition of Russian Refugees an umbrella organization of various groups concerned with the welfare of the immigrants co-founded by the Hirsch Fund and was offered to the widow and the family of Baron de Hirsch. The album is a piece of very fine craftsmanship calligraphed by H. C. Kendall an "artist penman" and Principal of the Normal Writing Institute in Boston and bound by Frank J. Barnard the industry leader bookbinder in Massachusetts. The text consists of profound quotes about human greatness from William Dean Howells and Julia C. R. Dorr and the eulogy delivered at Temple Ohabei Shalom.<br /> <p><p><br /> Baron Maurice de Hirsch 1831-1896 was a German Jewish financier and philanthropist born into a wealthy landowner and banker family in Bavaria. In 1855 Hirsch married Clara Bischoffsheim daughter of a Belgian banker and became associated with his father-in-law's banking house. He amassed a large fortune and became one of the top five richest individuals in Europe at the time. Baron de Hirsch set up charitable foundations promoting Jewish education especially in Russia and after an unsuccessful offer of 50000000 francs to the Russian government to be used for purposes of Jewish education in 1891 he founded the Jewish Colonization Association the greatest charitable trust in the world to provide the funds for extensive Jewish immigration to Argentina. In the same year he established the Hirsch Fund to help the Russian Jewish immigrants in the States and provided the finances for agricultural colonies and trades schools in the US. Through his Galician Foundation he realized the establishment of primary and technical schools for Jewish pupils in Galicia and the Bukowina. "It is impossible to form an accurate estimate of the amount of money Baron de Hirsch devoted to benevolent purposes. That including the large legacy amounting to $45000000 left to the Jewish Colonization Association it exceeded $100000000 is an estimate justified by the amounts given by him from time to time to the foundations already referred to. There were besides many gifts to individuals of which there is no record." Jewish Encyclopedia Baron Maurice de Hirsch died suddenly presumably of a heart attack at the age of 64 on 21 April 1896 at the country house of a friend near his own recently purchased estate of Ógyalla in Hungary now part of Slovakia. His widow continued the Baron's charitable work. Clara died in Paris in 1899 and left the remaining family assets to her adopted son Maurice Arnold de Forest. <br /> <p>. unknown
