1850Best.-Nr. #4258vo. 215 x 160 mm. 8 ½ x 6 ¼ inches. 306 leaves chapters separated by blanks. 19th century leather backed marbled paper boards; inner hinge cracked edges bumped some abrasion to the head of the spine; sound. Beautifully written manuscript volume containing an extensive discussion of library management and practices written by an anonymous Spanish author in the middle of the 19th century. This dissertation organized in 70 chapters begins with a discussion of the library profession and its importance to civil society. His first chapters describe the "Archive" with reference to Spanish monastic governmental and diplomatic collections that have been preserved. He focuses his attention on Aragon Mallorca Navarra and Santiago. He turns to France to furnish some interested information on the archives in Paris before getting into the chapters on classification of materials and the creation of inventories. After nearly 200 leaves of text on the subject of archives the authors turns his attention to libraries. From the beginning he takes a historical approach focusing his attention on both books and manuscripts mentioning the collections at Cambridge University. Paleography is a subject he spends some time describing and then he moves into the history of printing typography Gutenberg and the spread of printing to Spain. The final dozen chapters are devoted to the rules for managing a library lessons in classification and inventory control. He quotes from both DeBure and Brunet in his lessons on cataloguing. A rather remarkable piece of work thought to be unpublished. An examination of both United States and Spanish national collections turned up no reference to this anonymous piece of library scholarship.

1863Best.-Nr. 0010120Eperay France. Good with no dust jacket. 1863. Ephemera. On offer is an excellent example of the administrative process in the operations of the French national insurance and pension scheme of mid-19th century France. The handwritten letter was sent by the ADMINISTRATION DE LA PREVOYANCE to a Monsieur Boban Notaire a Eperay Marne . In fact this was Leon Boban a Notary who practised in the city of Eperay France. Our informal research has not revealed any additional information about him. At the time of this letters writing the French Revolution had replaced the notions of mutual assistance and support that was a function of communities or associations to one based on the nation-state. Society was to be governed by the three great principles of the Revolution: Liberté Egalité Fraternité Liberty Equality Fraternity. At least this was the theory. In practice little was done by the state. Private societies had long existed catering to small groups of mostly middle class families who sought death and burial insurance. Over time though this began to change especially after the introduction of state pensions by Otto Von Bismarck. Fraternal benefit or mutual aide societies emerged and were given legal recognition in the 1830s. The ADMINISTRATION DE LA PREVOYANCE was one such organization. This letter was written as a response to Mr. Bobans earlier inquiry on behalf of clients Monsier and Madam Pansin. Independament des leurs quittances tant de 1857 que des dernies qu'il nous ont remiser nous devez posseder aussi leur polices puis qi'il est etabli qu'ils n'ont pas plus recu leur repartition pas provisions que le dividende final. Translation: Independently of their receipts both from 1857 and from the last that they have remitted to us we must also have their policies since it is established that they have not received their distribution by provisions other than the final dividend . The letter goes on to identify other administrative points that need to be addressed. The development of the modern-day welfare state with a comprehensive social safety net is rooted in these insurance organizations. For a social historian or collector of documents pertaining to the early insurance industry this is an excellent example of that business at work. It would make a fine addition to a collection of such documents. The document is a letter measuring 10.5 inches by 8.5 inches. The letter is on letterhead and is in good condition. The handwriting is legible. The reverse of the page serves once folded as the envelope. ; Letters; 10.5"x8.5"; 1 pages . unknown
