1942réf. 15626Los Angeles: Plantin Press 1942. Original edition of the first book published by the Pazifische Presse. The Pazifische Presse was the sole representative on the west coast of the United States of those publishers who left Germany and Austria following the rise to power of National Socialists in 1933. Many European refugees came to America and though most settled in New York a large number did go to Los Angeles which became an important center of German-speaking immigration. Artists authors and intellectuals such as Thomas Mann Theodore W. Adorno Bertolt Brecht Fritz Lang and Arnold Schoenberg were but a few who represented the community of Germans exiled from their native land and who produced major works to address the world crisis. The Pazifische Presse was founded by Ernst Gottlieb and Felix Guggenheim both of whom had emigrated to the west coast in around 1939. The publisher “afforded its participants an arena for presenting the best of Weimar culture not only for the emigree community but for their American friends and colleagues” Jaeger p. 9. They announced the initial publication of seven volumes by distinguished authors who themselves had immigrated to the United States. These included Thomas Mann the Nobel Laureate for literature in 1929 Franz Werfel Bruno Frank Leonhard Frank Alfred Neumann Fredrich Toberg Alfred Döblin and Lion Feuchtwanger. Many of these renowned writers continued to publish during their exile; some even went on to screen writing positions in Hollywood. Most of the authors were selected based upon a personal relationship between them and the publishers. Gottlieb and Guggenheim worked with Saul and Lillian Marks of the renowned Plantin Press of Los Angeles to print their material. Founded in 1931 and named after Christopher Plantin the famous sixteenth century printer from Antwerps the Marks built a strong reputation as printers of artistic and beautiful works. Each of the first seven volumes of a total of eleven books ultimately released were printed at the Plantin Press in a run of 250 copies; the first 150 copies were the “Subscriber editions” signed by the author and bound in half-leather. The remaining 100 copies were a more simply bound unsigned trade edition. “The novella Thamar is a partial pre-printing of the fifth section of Joseph der Ernährer Joseph the Provider; consequently the volume is the German first printing of this part of the text. The first edition of the complete text of Joseph der Ernährer Joseph und seine Brüder. Der vierte Roman was later published in December 1943 at the Bermann-Fischer Verlag Stockholm Potempa D8.1 . . . As part of Joseph’s legend this excerpt depicts the story of the young woman Thamar and her education by Jacob” Jaeger p. 25. Thomas Mann 1875-1955 was probably Germany’s most influential author of the twentieth century receiving the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1929. He lived in Munich where he wrote some of his most successful novels like Buddenbrooks 1901 Death in Venice 1912 and The Magic Mountain 1924. After the Nazi takeover his family emigrated to Switzerland then to Princeton before settling in Southern California where he finished his great tetralogy Joseph and His Brothers in 1942. Thomas Thedoe Heine 1867-1948 was recognized as one of Germany’s most talented illustrators. Plantin Press unknown

Five pamphlets on Horace Mann's 1844 annual report to the Board of Education including two presentation copies of different editions of the report itself and three responses. Mann had toured Europe with his new wife Mary Peabody and friend Samuel Gridley Howe and studied schools in eight countries with special interest in the Prussian school system. His 1844 annual report comparing American and European school systems was received with great offense by Boston schoolteachers. "A group of thirty-one schoolmasters. . . published a sharply worded critique of his seventh Annual Report" targeting "Mann's recommendations for teacher training as well as his opposition to corporal punishment." However this group "soon faced Mann's wrath in the form of written rejoinders" and were ultimately vanquished when "Mann's allies were elected to the Boston School Committee." Despite the controversy Mann's efforts to "merge the best that he found in European educational systems with the principles of the growing American common school movement" saw remarkable success. Under his direction the Board of Education spent over $2 million on improved school buildings increased teacher salaries by over 50% opened fifty new high schools commissioned uniform school textbooks from Boston publishers and alotted time for student exercise-shaping the public school system as we know it ANB.

1850réf. 315820Washington D.C. 1850. 1 page. 12mo. Fine condition. 1 page. 12mo. Opposing the Fugitive Slave Act. Horace Man 1796-1859 writes a scathing condemnation of the Fugitive Slave Act which Congress passed on 12 September 1850 in spite of Mann's vote against it: "The intellect of the world must grow stronger and its heart must grow purer before the former can adequately comprehend or the latter appropriately feel the moral turpitude of the Bill which the House of Representatives has this day passed nominally for reclaiming slavery but really for perilling the liberties of freemen." One of the most notorious bills in U.S. history the so called Fugitive Slave Act required the cooperation of law enforcement officials and citizens of free states in returning escaped slaves to their masters. The bill was the most explosive element of the Compromise of 1850 which sought and ultimately failed to preserve the Union. "By placing himself in opposition to Henry Clay's Compromise of 1850 Mann alienated many in the Whig party none more than Senator Daniel Webster whose support of the compromise floored Mann. Forced out of the Whig party by Webster's supporters Mann sought vindication under the banner of the Free Soil party in 1850. Narrowly reelected he was unable to mount an effort to repeal the odious fugitive slave law of 1851; the following year he failed to win the Massachusetts governorship as the Free Soil candidate" ANB. unknown books
