1867réf. BK0168Philadelphia: J. B. Chandler Printer 1867. 116 pp. 8vo. Original printed wrappers. Ex-library with small Massachusetts State Library stamp to title page; otherwise near fine. Very good. A late defense of the Pennsylvania system of prison discipline written as the model developed at Eastern State Penitentiary was increasingly becoming an exception among American prisons. The system kept inmates separated from one another both at work and at rest in contrast to the Auburn system which brought prisoners together for silent congregate labor during the day. Eastern State maintained the separate system from its opening in 1829 into the 1870s despite sustained criticism of its effects and lessened ability to keep prisoners separate in the first place due to overcrowding.1 Published as a defense of the Pennsylvania system of separate confinement the pamphlet appeared after the model associated with Eastern State Penitentiary had already been the subject of decades of criticism in the United States and abroad. The work is generally attributed to Richard Vaux son of the prominent Philadelphia prison reformer Roberts Vaux and himself a longtime advocate of the Pennsylvania system. By the time this edition appeared in 1867 separate confinement had lost ground nationally to the Auburn system of congregate labor making the pamphlet a late statement in defense of a model of incarceration closely identified with Philadelphia and Eastern State Penitentiary. 1 Ashley Theresa Rubin Institutionalizing the Pennsylvania System: Organizational Exceptionalism Administrative Support and Eastern State Penitentiary 1829-1875 PhD diss.

1856réf. 373747Jules Guillaume Fick Geneva 1856. Full Vellum. Very Good Condition. This rare 1856 edition resurrects a fiery Reformation tract by Franois Bonivard the former Prior of St. Victor in Geneva and a vocal critic of papal authority. Originally penned in the 16th century Bonivard's Advis et Devis is a sweeping denunciation of papal idolatry tyranny and political cunning tracing the rise of the papacy through pratique et finesse craft and manipulation. The title alone is a manifesto: a condemnation not only of Rome's spiritual claims but of its worldly ascent bolstered by false miracles distorted reformers and the machinery of deception. The 1856 printing by Jules Guillaume Fick a Genevan publisher active in theological and polemical works is notable for its typographic austerity and symbolic frontispiece a woodcut archway labeled la porte large & le chemin spacieux qui mene a perdition the wide gate and spacious path that leads to perdition. This visual metaphor sets the tone for the text's moral urgency and rhetorical force. Though the book is printed in French its spirit is unmistakably Calvinist echoing Geneva's role as a bastion of Protestant reform and intellectual dissent. Bonivard's work is more than theological invective it's a window into the political theology of the Reformation where spiritual critique was inseparable from civic resistance. His attacks on les difformes reformateurs distorted reformers suggest a layered critique not just of Rome but of those who claimed reform while perpetuating corruption. The 1856 edition likely served both archival and agitational purposes reasserting Protestant identity in a century grappling with religious revivalism ultramontanism and the legacy of Enlightenment skepticism. For collectors this volume sits at the intersection of Reformation polemic Genevan print culture and 19th-century religious historiography. Its vellum binding untrimmed edges and stark layout reinforce its status as a deliberate revival a book meant to be read debated and remembered. Bound in full vellum yapped edges. Ties now absent. Edges untrimmed. Binding dusty and marked but very firm and sound. Contents very clean and firm. Size: 14.5 x 22 cms. Category: Antiquarian & Rare; Special Interest.

2003réf. 91222Washington DC: U.S. Government Printing Office 2003. Presumed First Edition First Printing. Wraps. Very good. iii 1 83 1 pages. Illustrations. This item includes the statements of Gregory Kutz Alan Lamoreaux Patrick McNamee and Paul Pastorek. This year the status of two agencies deteriorated. One of these agencies is the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. For the last 5 consecutive years NASA had received unqualified or clean audit opinions on its financial statements. Similarly for the last 5 consecutive years NASA received a grade of A on the subcommittee's score card on Federal financial management. For fiscal year 2001 however NASA was unable to provide timely documentation to substantiate the accuracy and classification of its obligations expenses property plant and equipment and materials. These problems were so severe that NASA's new auditor PricewaterhouseCoopers was unable to provide an opinion on whether the amounts on the fiscal year 2001 financial statements were reasonable. The auditors also found that the agency had significant material weaknesses in its system of internal controls. For the first time since fiscal year 1997 auditors reported that NASA's systems were not in compliance with the Federal Financial Management Improvement Act of 1996. The GAO the General Accounting Office had questioned NASA's compliance with the act in two reports last year. In addition the General Accounting Office found that NASA could not provide detailed support for amounts obligated against the space station or the shuttle. In another report the General Accounting Office found that NASA could not provide support for amounts on its fiscal year 1999 statement of budgetary resources. In this same report the General Accounting Office questioned NASA's previous auditor Arthur Andersen's support for an unqualified opinion on this statement. The status of NASA's financial management has been consistently questioned by the General Accounting Office and others yet Arthur Andersen continued for years to give NASA a clean bill of health. Is NASA a Government Enron Did the Agency's financial management problems begin in fiscal year 2001 or were they always present In this hearing we will focus on what went wrong at NASA for fiscal year 2001 and what actions are being taken to resolve the financial management issues.
