1905Best.-Nr. 6979Salt Lake City 1905. First Edition. 32pp. Sextodecimo 15 cm Printed stapled wrappers. Better than very good. Short land-promotional work for Northern Utah's Bear River Valley touting the area's agricultural possibilities and the ease at which one could take the railroad to the area and coincidentally there is an advertisement for the D.L. & W. and Michigan Central Railroads on the rear panel. Includes a brief section sandbagging Reed Smoot and the author's opposition to the seating of Smoot in the U.S. Senate. The reward $13000 was offered to demonstrate the question of Mormon domination of politics. The majority of Peet's writings were anti-Mormon drivel but in this case Peet was the land agent for Bear River Valley Lands but can't seem to help himself in regards to Smoot. "Of the hundreds of people from other states who are now residing in Bear River Valley and other parts of Utah not one has been interfered with or hindered in any way by the Mormons. Bear River Valley is home of the prosperous contented and happy farmer." - p.8. Flake/Draper 6219. unknown

Best.-Nr. 68243s.l. 1789. 23 pages. 195x125 Cm. Dérelié. En tant que représentant de la sénéchaussée d'Anjou aux Etats-Généraux et membre de l'Assemblée Constituante Volney joua un certain rôle pendant la Révolution Française "comme défenseur résolu des libertés publiques et comme adversaire non moins résolu du clergé et en général de tous les cultes". Dans ce texte adressé aux habitants des campagnes et signé par "les Bourgeois associés pour la défense du droit du Peuple et l'instruction des Paysans" Volney conteste la hiérarchie des classes sociales et réclame notamment une refonte complète du système d'imposition avec la suppression de certaines taxes gabelle aides octrois corvées tailles et une nouvelle constitution. "Volney représente conjugués l'amour du progrès et l'attachement paysan à la terre avec une gravité constante et une sensibilité réelle mais mesurée. D'un courage entier pendant la Révolution et face à Napoléon qu'il aida d'abord il fut toujours partisan du silence philosophique devant toutes les folies individuelles ou collectives" Encyclopedia Universalis.

1807Best.-Nr. 029967Paris: Chez Courcier 1807. Octavo. Fourth edition. In two volumes: Vol. I x 487 pages 1 p. advertisement and Vol. II 492 pages half-titles present in both volumes printed on laid paper with each map and image on very thick paper to enhance the preservation. The French academic philosophers of the late 18th century found that with advances in mathematics geodesy and field mapping previous works were limited for serious work. Comte de Volney 1757-1820 was a French orientalist whose study was impressive though he himself was not considered at the time a geographer. However modern geographers realize his work was closer to modern methods than his contemporaries see Anne Godlewska on Modern French Discipline of Geography p. 192-193. Originally published in 1787 this set produces not only the images of The Spinx the Pyramids of Giza Balbek and the Ruins of Palmyre but also the maps of Syria Egypt and of North Africa and the folding plan of the Temple of Balbet. Bound 1/4 red leather over red paper covered boards spine lettered and decorated in gilt all edges marbled with matching endpapers boards rubbed light wear to corners. A very good set.
