1916Best.-Nr. 000139Pomeroy Ohio OH. Fair. 1916. Cloth. On offer is the handwritten manuscript diary of Mrs. J.P. Bradbury Pomeroy Ohio 1916 and as found on genealogical sites Mrs. Bradbury 1853-1918 being Emma L. Woods the widow and second wife of Justice Joseph Perry Bradbury 1838-1915 of the Ohio Supreme Court. Research finds Justice Bradbury and his family in the 1880 census it said that he was then married to his first wife Sarah E. Bradbury who was an invalid and that two other people lived in the house Emma Woods as sister so it seems clear to be his first wifes sister. It also lists Elizabeth Blackwell servant living at the home. The diary itself is written just a few months after the death of Joseph. Her grief as she puts it is too much to bear and almost everyday she writes about him and missing him. She calls him Petty for a nickname too. I thought it was Perry because of his middle name but on closer inspection it is Petty. She starts out her entries on January and writes on almost every available space for everyday see scan but then suddenly stops her entries on July 24th. Entries are extremely interesting probing what it is like for a newly widowed woman who seemed to be deeply in love with her husband as one will see in the following excerpts: How am I to get along without my own dear Petty . I am homesick for my dear Petty. I do not see how I am to go on this way. Petty dear if I could only have kept you how happy I would be as it is I am so depressed Mr. Quincy came in to do some hauling of stuff left from the old house. Mrs. Barbara Wehe mother of Mrs. Frank Hudson of Chicago was brought here for burial Friday of last week. Mrs. Wehe used to live here in Pomeroy and was quite well-known. How I do miss my own dear Petty and when I think I could not do one thing to keep him it almost kills me. Dearest Petty The river is very high. Word came this morning that the steamer Kanawha had struck a part of dam no. 19 just below Parkersburg. In three minutes time the boat capsized. She lay upon her side. The number lost is estimated at from 12 to 25. Mrs. E.C. Atkinson of Racine and a lady whom I knew very well was lost. Her husband saved. I did not know any of the other people. It was a terrible calamity . some days I think I will fly to pieces. I am so very nervous and oh how I do miss my dear dear Petty. I just think I must see his dear sweet face oh; my poor old heart aches all the time for him. How I loved him just six months since my dear Petty left me. Some days I think I can not stand it. I just must see him. No one knows how I miss my dear sweet Petty. How I did love him. He was so sweet and good to me Dorothy and Mary Etta went out for walk into see the doctor. The town is full of sick people. Doctors are just rushed to death just one year ago today my dear Petty fell and hurt his arm. This was the beginning of his going down. Oh how I miss him. It was the 14th of February but it was a Sunday. Oh how I miss Petty . This was my dearest husband 78th birthday. Oh I have missed him . one year ago today my Petty was in bed with a sprained arm and now he has gone from me. Oh how I do miss my dear sweet Petty who was so good to me . I am still so blue and miss Perry so much today. I just feel as if I must see him. I do not see how I am to go on without him. Dear dear Petty and I miss Dorothy so much too . I sincerely hope I may be taken to my heavenly home for I know I never could stand it. I hope my life will not be long. I do not want to live to be a real old woman and not a burden to anyone. If I could have gone with my Petty how much better it would have been perhaps. I get dreadfully blue some days .Bert Millen brought the deed for the farm for me to sign today. I wish Petty could have settled all up with Dale Roberts. I feel a little shaky about the settlement of that . River still rising and there will be between 48 and 50 feet of water here. It will be in my cellar tonight. Took the gas heater out this morning from the furnace. The Creek is up around the Bradford House and water and Mrs. Geyers seller. Mr. A.L. Willock deputy sheriff died this afternoon and leaves a wife and daughter. A year ago this evening my own dear Petty and I walked down to Dr. Henlows Office. Coming home Petty wanted to be weighed so we went to Mr. Stockmores seed store and he weighed only 148 pounds. Oh how I did hate to see that. It made Petty feel badly . Dearest husband how I have missed you this day. How I would love to see you. Oh Petty Petty how am I to go on without you. This has been a very gloomy day . Republican convention is still on in Chicago. Hope Roosevelt will not get the nomination. I miss my Petty so much. He would always tell me about how the conventions were conducted. He usually went to them. Petty how I do miss you . I went up to see Dr. Jane but she was out. So I whet down to see Mrs. Plantz. She is not very well. I talked to her about the lump in my breast. After I came home and went for Dr. Gribble. He made an examination and found a growth but advised me to see how it will be in a few weeks from now. It worries me very much. Now to think I have not my Petty to go to and talked it over. Oh dear Petty maybe it won't be very long until we will be together again . Just one year ago this 17th day of July my dear Petty closed his eyes in death. I will never forget how sweet he looked that morning and how blue his eyes were some days I think I can not stand it I must see him and hear his sweet voice. Dear dear Petty perhaps it won't be long until I will be with my loved ones. I pray that my Father in heaven will only keep me from long-suffering with this dreadful thing that has come to me. Better I could go before I get to be a care and hope I won't have to suffer with it. How my dear Petty would worry if he knew this."

1936Best.-Nr. 159271936. Committee on Justice for Victims of Nazism. Facts on Nazi Germany 1936 anti-Nazi report documenting early concentration camp discipline and political repression under the Third Reich issued to mobilize American awareness during a period of widespread isolationist sentiment in the United States. Produced three years before the outbreak of World War II the document records one of the earliest organized efforts by an American advocacy group to circulate evidence of Nazi violence specifically targeting the treatment of political prisoners in the initial concentration camp system established after 1933. The report identifies Esterwegen as a site of incarceration for political opponents and includes translated internal regulations that detail punitive discipline forced labor expectations and execution threats directed at prisoners categorized as political dissidents Jews and alleged enemies of the state. Editorial Board of the Committee on Justice for Victims of Nazism. Facts on Nazi Germany. Number Three. New York: Committee on Justice for Victims of Nazism October 15 1936. Mimeographed document. The publication consists of 11 mimeographed pages and includes contemporary marginalia and underlining in pencil indicating close reading by an early owner. The text opens with an editorial statement noting that the committee had obtained the material "a few days ago" followed by an appeal to American audiences: "By publishing this horrendous document we wish to bring to the consciousness of the American public the plight of the German people under barbarian Hitler rule.the vast majority of the German population looks to the world outside particularly America for moral support." The reprinted German directives emphasize coercion and ideological enforcement stating "Tolerance means weakness.ruthlessness will be exercised when the interests of the Fatherland are at stake." Detailed disciplinary measures include confinement on bread and water corporal punishment and execution for acts such as alleged mutiny or resistance. Specific infractions are enumerated including penalties for writing more than two letters monthly speaking disrespectfully to guards or minor breaches of barracks discipline demonstrating the totalizing regulatory system imposed within the camp. Issued during a period when U.S. public opinion remained divided over involvement in European affairs this document contributes to the study of early transnational anti-fascist networks exile politics and information dissemination prior to the consolidation of wartime alliances. Advocacy groups such as the Committee on Justice for Victims of Nazism attempted to counter limited press coverage and official reluctance to confront Nazi Germany by distributing translated materials that documented internal repression. The inclusion of Esterwegen regulations situates the publication within the early development of the concentration camp system before its later expansion and transformation during the war.

Best.-Nr. CZC-11007La Pratiqve de Masver ancien, Ivrisconsvlte et practicien de France, mise en François par Antoine Fontanon Jean Mazuer (ou Masuer), éminent jurisconsulte, serait né en Auvergne vers la fin du XIV° siècle. Les sources divergent quant au lieu et à la date. Toujours est il qu'il rédigea sa Practica forensis Galliæ à Riom, au barreau de la sénéchaussée, au début du XV° siècle. L'intérêt de ce recueil important dépasse le domaine des règles de la Procédure (que l'on appelait alors le Style du Palais), pour aborder aussi le droit et la procédure. Méplain précise que l'ouvrage fut composé au point de vue du droit écrit et des coutumes de la province d'Auvergne, parce que Masuer l'écrivait à Riom où le retenait sa dignité de Chancelier des ducs d'Auvergne. Les usages du Bourbonnais y sont aussi fréquemment rapportés, l'auteur ayant aussi tenu la charge d'avocat à la sénéchaussée de cette province. En constatant aussi les emprunts nombreux que la coutume avait fait au droit romain, le savant élargit la portée de son travail ". qui, bien qu'il semble écrit plus spécialement pour l'utilité de ces deux provinces, il devint bientôt le manuel obligé des jurisconsultes de tout le royaume. C'est un autre auvergnat, Antoine Fontanon, qui traduisit en français la Practica Forensis, en 1581. fort volume relié gd in8, 25x18, relié plein vélin époque, couvertures à lacets, petits manque au dos, bien solide, mouillures sèches en début d'ouvrage, 548pp + 36 pages de tables alphabétiques.
