1866ref. 54554Mechanicsburg 1866. Large 4to approx. 225 leaves red calf-backed cloth-covered boards; an onion skin holograph letter-book of retained correspondence; some bleed through and browning perhaps a dozen or so letters faint to the point of being unreadable but most are legible. Levi Kauffman whose great grandparents came from Germany in 1717 was born in 1833 in Lancaster County Pennsylvania of Christian and Anna Erb Kauffman members of the Reformed Mennonite Church. Levi Kauffman moved to Mechanicsburg in 1854 and set up a hardware and dry goods store. Between 1859-62 he was a cashier in the Merkel and Mumma Bank which became the First National Bank of Mechanicsburg. Later Kauffman was a Collector of Revenue and cashier at the 2nd National Bank 1864-69. In this capacity his correspondents were various officials in regards to the collection of tax revenues for it appears mainly liquor and cigars. Most of the correspondents are Pennsylvanian: from Carlisle York Newport Mechanicsburg Philadelphia New Bloomfield Shippensburg Harrisburg but also Chicago New York and Washington D.C. A letter to Hon. Hugh McCulloch of the US Treasury deals with a recommendation for the Inspector of Spirits. A letter on June 8 to George Schneider Collector in Chicago deals with a seized shipment of cigars but "the cigars had been shipped long before regulations in circular 40 had been promulgated." Kauffman says Mr. Miller who was selling the cigars was "a poor man but of good character" and his shipment should be released to him without penalty. In July Kauffman writes to Hon. E. A. Rollins the Commissioner of Internal Revenue in an unsuccessful attempt to retire and get a soldier appointed as his successor. There are also a few letters relative to church business such as one addressed to Brother A. Hosletter of Shippensburg and some with political content such as a letter to the Governor of Pennsylvania J. W. Geary concerning an appointment for the Supt. of State Printing. There are two or three other letters written to Geary. Another letter with political content is to Hon. John W. Forney who at the time was Secretary of the Senate in Washington DC concerning appointments made by Gov. Geary. In another letter to Forney Kaufmann writes: "It is very seldom that I taste wine or any liquor but I have some of this "California" in my hand and believing it better than most foreign wines I thought I would send you some. Then too it is American which makes it better." There are also a few personal letters addressed to his brother C. Christian S. Kauffman in Columbia concerning money borrowed. An interesting set of detailed letters from a businessman concerning financial and political events of the time. hardcover books

1968ref. 2305097New York: Vintage 1968. Third Edition. Third Edition. Very Good. Third edition. Spine creased wrappers rubbed ink name on half-title page. 1968 Trade Paperback. xviii 524 pp. "This classic is the benchmark against which all modern books about Nietzsche are measured. When Walter Kaufmann wrote it in the immediate aftermath of World War II most scholars outside Germany viewed Nietzsche as part madman part proto-Nazi and almost wholly unphilosophical. Kaufmann rehabilitated Nietzsche nearly single-handedly presenting his works as one of the great achievements of Western philosophy. Responding to the powerful myths and countermyths that had sprung up around Nietzsche Kaufmann offered a patient evenhanded account of his life and works and of the uses and abuses to which subsequent generations had put his ideas. Without ignoring or downplaying the ugliness of many of Nietzsche's proclamations he set them in the context of his work as a whole and of the counterexamples yielded by a responsible reading of his books. More positively he presented Nietzsche's ideas about power as one of the great accomplishments of modern philosophy arguing that his conception of the "will to power" was not a crude apology for ruthless self-assertion but must be linked to Nietzsche's equally profound ideas about sublimation. He also presented Nietzsche as a pioneer of modern psychology and argued that a key to understanding his overall philosophy is to see it as a reaction against Christianity. Many scholars in the past half century have taken issue with some of Kaufmann's interpretations but the book ranks as one of the most influential accounts ever written of any major Western thinker.
