As Alexis Leger he was a professional French diplomat of impressive suavity and limited accomplishment. As himself he was a gracious aristocrat who preferred his own company to the glitter of the salon. As St.‐John Perse pronounced SIN‐jin he was a major poet of candescent belief in the indestructibility of humanity. The Nobel Prize only confirmed the rapturous regard Mr. Perse's peers expressed for him as one of the most original of contemporary poets. His audacious use of pungent imagery and arcane symbolism set him apart as did his celebration of the inexhaustible power of life to triumph over disaster His language was ambiguous lyric and cadenced studded with subtle metaphors and sprinkled with delicate melodies more discernible by the ear than the eye. Among poets writing in English Archibald MacLeish T. S. Eliot and Louise Varese were drawn to Mr. Perse and influenced by him." NY Times Obit. "Felix M. Morley 1894=1982 was an educator and journalist who won the Pulitzer Prize. Mr. Morley won the Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing in 1936 three years after he was named editorial page editor of The Washington Post. In his career he was president of Haverford College and the first correspondent in China for The Baltimore Sun. He was a brother of the author and poet Christopher Morley who died in 1957. Felix Morley who held a doctorate in political science and was the author of seven books on economics and politics was born in Haverford Pa. His family moved to Baltimore in 1900. He was graduated in 1915 from Haverford College. In 1915 Mr. Morley went to Europe and became an ambulance driver for the British Red Cross. He returned to the United States a year later to become a reporter for The Philadelphia Ledger. In 1917 he became a Washington correspondent for the United Press news agency. Two years later he won a Rhodes scholarship and studied for two years at Oxford after which he studied at the London School of Economics on a Hutchinson Research Fellowship. Several years later he won a Guggenheim Fellowship to study the organization of the League of Nations. In 1922 Mr. Morley joined The Baltimore Sun working in several Far East bureaus and in 1925 becoming the newspaper's first correspondent in China. He left The Sun in 1929 complaining that H.L. Mencken was exercising 'excessive influence' on editorial policy. From 1929 to 1931 he was director of the Geneva office of the League of Nations Association of the United States. After serving as president of Haverford College from 1940 to 1945 Mr. Morley returned to journalism working as a Washington correspondent for Barron's Weekly a position that he held until retiring from full-time newspaper or magazine work in 1954." - NY Times Obit.

Around 1958 Ukrainian emigres in the US came up with the idea of building a memorial to "Ukraine's Favorite Son" author Taras Shevchenko as a way of making a statement about their community and of the situation in their homeland. The campaign gained momentum and in 1960 Congress passed a bill which allocated land in Washington DC for the Ukrainians to build a statue. Platon Stasiuk a prominent Ukrainian-American businessman and treasurer of the Shevchenko Memorial Committee went to Ukraine in 1961 intent on taking back a container of soil from Shevchenko's grave to be placed under the monument in Washington. Expecting an appreciative committee he was instead met with rejection as his bringing the soil was viewed as a Soviet ploy. Disappointed Stasiuk published a book describing his experience and the Soviet media denounced the dismissal as hostility towards a friendly gesture. Stasiuk returned the soil to Ukraine and wrote a second account the current one in which he included numerous letters of support he had received for his initiative. By the Author paperback

rif. ABAA7Paris chez Sebastien Nyuelle libraire demeurant à l'enseigne des Cicognes rue Sainct Iacques. Avec privilège du Roy pour dix ans 1553. 4to 219 x 153 mm of 4 ll. 350 pp. and 1 l. of privilege. Overlapping vellum flat spine. Seventeenth century binding. First edition in French of the Phaedo an essential work by Plato setting out the main points of his doctrine. It is here translated from Greek into French by Louis Le Roy 1510-1577 'the greatest French Hellenist'. Brunet IV 701 ; Graesse V 324. Louis Le Roy is one of the most unknown figures of a group of 'second generation humanists'. Le Roy known as Regius had a difficult existence so materially miserable that it led him to make pleas to the great ones in the form of unoriginal circumstantial works. This bland character who seems to have lived on the edge of fame especially in his relations with Du Bellay and the Pléiade happens to be in retrospect the greatest French Hellenist and as the one who made the political works of Antiquity known to a wide public. An excellent translator in many ways superior to modern translators he chose essentially the intermediate field between morality Isocrates and his speeches to the young princes philosophy Plato: Timaeus Phaedo Banquet and politics Demosthenes Plato and Aristotle. In this work the main characters taking part in the dialogue are: Socrates Phaedo Simmias and Cebes. Here they are in the cell where Socrates victim of the reaction of the sophists he was fighting and condemned to death as a corrupter of youth is waiting for his jailer to bring him the hemlock. His disciples and friends crowd around him. After having made it clear that a true philosopher cannot be afraid of death Socrates raises the question of the survival of the soul and what will become of it when it is 'gathered into itself and upon itself after having rid itself of its evils'. Socrates is immediately invited by his friends to demonstrate the immortality of the soul and this serious problem will occupy most of the dialogue. Giving a marvelous and symbolic vision of our world placed in the whole Universe Socrates indulges in brilliant cosmological hypotheses in which the physical and metaphysical constitution of our globe tends towards a harmonious unity. Our planet is according to Socrates an enormous sphere placed at the centre of the Cosmos which is much larger than it appears to us. But the time is short: Socrates retires to another room to take his bath then calls the jailer who brings him the hemlock. Having drunk it with perfect serenity Socrates lies down on his bed: but before dying he says to Crito: "We owe a cock to Asclepius: pay him don't forget!" These were his last words. Socrates who had promised to sacrifice a cock to Asclepius Aesculapius if he recovered from a disease he was suffering from was obliged to fulfil his promise since death brought him freedom from his disease with rest. This first edition in French of the Phaedois the work of Louis Le Roy considered "as a highly figure of the humanism of the Renaissance". His teacher was Guillaume Budé of whom he was to write a biography. "A lively and curious mind he was one of the most enthusiastic Hellenists of his time". A friend of Joachim Du Bellay the poet gave him the title of "French Plato". A precious and rare copy pure with wide margins preserved in its seventeenth century overlappingvellum binding. French A Paris chez Sebastien Nyuelle libraire demeurant à l'enseigne des Cicognes rue Sainct Iacques. Avec privilège du Roy pour dix ans 1553. In-4 de 4 ff. 350 pp. et 1 f. de privilège. Plein vélin à recouvrement dos lisse. Reliure du XVIIe siècle. 219 x 153 mm. Edition originale de langue française du Phédon œuvre essentielle de Platon exposant les principaux points de sa doctrine. Elle est ici traduite du Grec en français par Louis Le Roy 1510-1577 " le plus grand helléniste français ". Brunet IV 701 ; Graesse V 324. Louis Le Roy est l'un des personnages les plus méconnus d'un groupe d' " humanistes de la seconde génération ". Le Roy dit Regius traîne une existence difficile matériellement si misérable qu'elle l'amène à adresser des suppliques aux grands sous forme d'œuvres de circonstances sans originalité. Ce personnage falot qui semble avoir vécu sur les bords de la célébrité en particulier dans ses relations avec Du Bellay et la Pléiade apparaît rétrospectivement comme le plus grand helléniste français et comme celui qui a fait connaître auprès d'un large public les œuvres politiques de l'Antiquité. Excellent traducteur à bien des égards supérieur aux traducteurs modernes il a choisi essentiellement le domaine intermédiaire entre la morale Isocrate et ses discours aux jeunes princes la philosophie Platon : Timée Phédon Banquet et la politique Démosthène Platon et Aristote. Dans cette œuvre les principaux personnages prenant part au dialogue sont : Socrate Phédon Simmias et Cébès. Les voici dans la cellule où Socrate victime de la réaction des sophistes qu'il combattait et condamné à mort comme corrupteur de la jeunesse attend que son geôlier lui apporte la ciguë. Autour de lui se pressent ses disciples et ses amis… Après avoir fait admettre qu'un véritable philosophe ne saurait avoir peur de la mort Socrate soulève la question de la survivance de l'âme et de son devenir lorsqu'elle sera " ramassée en elle-même et sur elle-même après s'être débarrassée de ses maux ". Socrate est aussitôt invité par ses amis à démontrer l'immortalité de l'âme et ce grave problème occupera la plus grande partie du dialogue. Donnant de notre monde replacé dans l'ensemble de l'Univers une vision merveilleuse et symbolique Socrate se livre à de brillantes hypothèses cosmologiques dans lesquelles la constitution physique et métaphysique de notre globe tend vers une harmonieuse unité. Notre planète est selon Socrate une énorme sphère placée au centre du Cosmos lequel est beaucoup plus grand qu'il ne nous apparaît. Mais l'heure presse : Socrate se retire dans une autre pièce pour prendre son bain puis fait appeler le geôlier qui lui apporte la ciguë. L'ayant bue avec une parfaite sérénité Socrate s'allonge sur sa couche : mais avant de mourir il dit encore à Criton : " Nous devons un coq à Asclépios : payez‑le ne l'oubliez pas ! ". Telles furent ses dernières paroles. Socrate qui avait promis de sacrifier un coq à Asclépios Esculape s'il guérissait d'une maladie dont il était affligé se devait d'exécuter sa promesse la mort lui apportant avec le repos la libération de sa maladie. Cette première édition de langue française du Phédon est l'œuvre de Louis Le Roy considéré " comme une haute figure de l'humanisme de la Renaissance ". Il eut pour maître Guillaume Budé dont il devait écrire une biographie. " Esprit vif et curieux il compte parmi les hellénistes les plus enthousiastes de son temps ". Lié d'amitié avec Joachim Du Bellay le poète le pare du titre de " Platon Français ". Précieux et rare exemplaire pur et à belles marges conservé dans sa reliure en vélin à recouvrement du XVIIe siècle. hardcover
