In-12, plein veau marbré de l'époque, dos à nerfs fleuronnés et cloisonnés, pièce de titre de veau havane, roulette sur les coupes, tranches jaspées, 251, (21) p. dont un faux-titre et deux titres. Edition originale de cette réfutation des 'Pensées philosophiques' de Diderot dans laquelle l'auteur dispose le texte intégral de Diderot et sa propre réfutation en regard, page à page. Le faux-titre: "Pensées philosophiques et pensées chrétiennes, mises en parallèle ou en opposition" est suivi de deux pages de titre: celle des 'Pensées philosophiques', à l'adresse et à la date de l'édition originale (« La Haye, aux dépens de la Compagnie, 1746 »), face à celle des Pensées chrétiennes. Cette réfutation est l'oeuvre du pasteur lausannois Georges P.G. Polier de Bottens (1675-1759). Issu d'une famille renommée de Lausanne, il était docteur en théologie morale et devint professeur et recteur de l'Académie de sa ville. Adversaire résolu des Lumières, il avait pourtant pour neveu Antoine Noé Polier de Bottens, ami et correspondant de Voltaire et auteur de plusieurs articles pour l’Encyclopédie. (Adams, PD16, II, p.286. Tchemerzine-Scheler, II, p. 918-919). Un dernier feuillet de catalogue annoncé par une réclame (« CA ») n'est pas présent. Ce catalogue manque également à l'exemplaire de la BnF, à celui décrit par Tchemerzine, ainsi qu'à l'ensemble des exemplaires recensés par WorldCat. Il n'a probablement jamais été inséré. Bon exemplaire, très frais, bien relié à l'époque.

1970ref. 171823Riyadh: Ministry of Defense and Aviation Army of Saudi Arabia 1970. An otherwise unrecorded manual designed for American personnel helping train the Saudi military during the reorganization of the country's military under King Faisal. In the late 1960s Saudi Arabia engaged the American firm Commonwealth-Tumpane to run on-the-job classroom and counterpart training for military personnel. In the latter trainees studied the duties and responsibilities of positions. The opening sections discuss human relations and managerial strategy. The majority of the manual concerns job proficiency guides for the roles mentored under the scheme ranging from vehicle maintenance inspectors to armaments repair foremen and engineering equipment instructors. "Given enough time confidence courage and spirit of compromise the Program will be a success. The Trainee must do most of the work for which he is being trained and only that work and the Trainer must provide large doses of advice and assistance sharing his professional experience skill and wisdom" pp. 2-3. At around the time this guide was issued a separate force - the Saudi National Guard - was being restructured with British involvement. Quarto. With numerous diagrams in text; contents xerox typescript. Spiral bound in original cream card wrappers front cover lettered in black. Front wrapper with small pencil annotation.

1890Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Extremely rare and first and only edition of this Cairo imprint book that suggested a uniform Hegira calendar for all Muslim nations. It's work on chronology as well, including a fine guide to converting Hijri and Gregorian calendars. Ahmed Muhtar was born on 1 November 1839 to a Turkish family in Bursa in the Ottoman Empire and was educated in the Ottoman Military College in Istanbul. His father was merchant Halil Efendi. He eventually became professor and then governor of the school. In 1856, he served as an adjutant during the Crimean War. In 1862, he was a staff officer in the disastrous Montenegrin campaign. Between 1870 and 1871, he quelled rebellions in Yemen. He gained the titles of Pasha and Marshal and, in 1873, was made commander of the Second Army Corps, holding the position until 1876. During the 1875 uprisings in Bosnia and Herzegovina, he assumed control of the Turkish forces there. On the outbreak of the Russo-Turkish War, 1877-1878, he was sent to take charge of operations in Erzurum. Although the Russians ultimately defeated the Ottomans in the war, Muhtar's victories against them in the eastern front won him the title Gazi ("The Victorious"). In 1879, Ahmed Muhtar Pasha was appointed the commander of the Ottoman Empire's frontier with Greece, before being sent in 1885 to serve as the Ottoman High Commissioner in Egypt.

Scarce first edition of the famous German educators mathematical textbook - his suggestion to how mathematics should be taught in his educational reform. Basedow’s views were based on the writings of men such as John Amos Comenius John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. His practical teaching methods were more expansive in their implications for education than those of any of his immediate predecessors in the field and by the early 19th century they had become a fundamental force in Germany’s public school systems.Basedow blev i 1753 ansat af J.H.E. Bernstorff ved Sorø Akademi som professor i moral og de skønne videnskaber. Her kom han bl.a. i forbindelse med den danske oplysningsforfatter og Sorø-professor Jens Schielderup Sneedorff hvis værker han oversatte til tysk. Sneedorff blev selv inspirereret af Basedows pædagogiske idéer. hardcover

Eddy was a Quaker merchant and reformer who had spent time in prison during the Revolution because of his Tory sympathies. He had befriended Philip Schuyler the father-in-law of Alexander Hamilton and hosted a visit of his to Philadelphia to inspect the Walnut Street Jail in 1796. This visit was the impetus for the first penal reform in New York State. Eddy was thus launched upon a career. In 1801 he published the book offered here that is a description of a new prison. The actual design was the work of the Mangin brothers see DAB who are best known for the design of New York City Hall. Eddy's report however contains all of his stipulations for the building and its appointments as well as a detailed summary of how the inmates were to be treated menu lists clothing etc. A most important book: the first native American work on prisons written by the country's first prison director.

1856ref. 4036Mexico City: Imprenta de Ignacio Cumplido 1856. Still very good. 17pp. Original printed wrappers bound into full calf front board gilt lettered. Some toning and scattered light foxing. This law was promulgated at the end of 1856 by the new liberal government of Mexico following its ascendancy in the mid-1850s and preceded the reform Constitution of 1857 by two months. Its statutes defined "crimes against the independence and security of the nation" including various forms of treason rebellion and foreign military service or assistance and made them punishable by death. The law anticipated conservative resistance and revolt against the new policies of the liberal faction that aimed to strip power and influence from the church and traditional aristocracy of the country. Their efforts indeed led to full-scale civil war in 1858 and the second French intervention in the early 1860s. OCLC locates a small handful of institutional copies and we locate just one in available sales records. Scarce and in attractive original wrappers. Imprenta de Ignacio Cumplido unknown

In-4, demi-veau tabac moderne à coins, dos à nerfs fleuronnés, couverture papier marbré d’origine conservée, (6), 268 p., texte imprimé dans un encadrement rocaille, vignette de titre aux armoiries de la ville de Gand, bandeaux et culs-de-lampe, 4 doubles planches gravées par Bertaud de plans et vues des façades. Très rare édition originale de cet ouvrage pionnier dans l’histoire de la réforme pénitentiaire, cité par M. Foucault dans ‘Surveiller et punir’ (p. 124-125). Edité en vue d’être présenté aux Etats de Flandre, ce mémoire - "le premier jalon du grand système pénitentiaire" - est à l’origine de l’une des toutes premières institutions "modèles" de détention, sur un fondement alors révolutionnaire : la réhabilitation des condamnés par le travail. Il devait constituer une source d’inspiration directe pour plusieurs générations de réformateurs jusqu’au XXe siècle, en Europe et en Amérique. "La maison de force de Gand créée en 1775 par le vicomte J.-J.-P. Vilain XIIII était considérée comme La prison modèle, pour sa classification des détenus et son organisation industrielle. Son fondateur avait cherché à l'insérer dans l'économie régionale, de telle sorte que les délinquants puissent retrouver à leur libération des travaux semblables à ceux qu'ils avaient pratiqués pendant leur détention" (Cf. J.-G. Petit, ‘Les débuts de la manufacture carcérale’, Annales de Bretagne, 1990, vol. 97, n°97-3, p. 329-342). Bourgmestre de Gand, puis grand Bailly, et conseiller d’Etat, le vicomte Jean Jacques Philippe Vilain IIII (1712-1777) était issu d’une ancienne famille belge.
