rif. 6108JACQUES LOUIS DUPONT 1755-1823. Dupont was a French cleric and lecturer turned revolutionary politician. He served as a member of Parliament between 1791 and 1794. ALS. 3 pg. 8 x 12. February 1798. Indre et Loire. An autographed letter signed Jacob Dupont To the Administrators of the Department of the Seine written in French: I have the honor of letting you know of a request I made of the Executive Directory in order to have free disposal of the Salle de Manage which is occupied right now by the Council of Five Hundred to give there free public courses in agriculture business the art of logic according to Condillac the elements of morals taken from the philosophical elements of Alembert pure Math physical-mathematical science which I have taught successfully at Bordeaux and in Chaumont in Haute Marne and finally Botany natural history chemistry experimental physics anatomy and the progress of the human mind according to the historical table of Condorcet. The Minister of Finances presented my request to the Directoire-Executif and youll see in his answer which I included here that I cant have disposal of the Salle de Manage. In introduced myself to the ministers of the Catholic worship who practice the faith conforming to the law of the church of Notre-Dame. I asked them if I could give my lectures on agriculture business arts and sciences at free hours. They answered that this permission depended on you citizen administrators. So I present myself to you citizens with the utmost confidence in order to get this permission. The good I intend to give to Paris the Republic Europe and perhaps to both worlds is immeasurable. Youll feel citizens all the importance if youre kind enough to glance ay the brochure which I published for this purposeIt is entitled The Opening of a New Instructive Course about the Role of Revolution by Jacob Dupont. Please citizens-administrators take my request into consideration. I will come myself to get your answer as soon as possible. If only I could be lucky enough to have it favorable. This letter not only reveals the language of the late French Revolution citizen-administrators Council of Five Hundred etc. but also the deluded mental state of Jacob Dupont. Once a prominent lecturer and Red Priest a Catholic clerical supporter of the Revolution Dupont was slowly but surely driven insane by his internal conflict between his support for the Revolution and his faith ultimately renouncing the latter. In 1797 he was imprisoned after an arrest for sexual assault making it difficult to believe that just the next year he would have support for resuming his teaching. The letter is written in French but a typed English-language translation is provided. The original letter is in fine shape with some minor stains and folds. unknown books

Rueff was a follower of Martin Luther and although he was "primarily known as a physician surgeon and lithotomist he was also a poet and writer of folk songs. … Much of Rueff's advice stems from that of classical writers or is taken from Rosslin's Rosegarten. A great deal is also very primitive to modern eyes. But it made a start at a time when midwifery had previously been strictly a woman's affair" Dunn p. 222.

1927rif. 30885Brooklyn NY: Physicians and Surgeons Book Co. Near Fine with no dj. First Edition. Hardcover. nice-looking book minor wear to the extremities one-time owner's name at top of front endpaper. B&W photographs and diagrams From the Foreword by John Osborn Polak: "In the following pages the author illustrates describes and correlates the development structures and functions of the human body in such a readable and accurate manner as to be understandable alike by the high-school student and the professonal aspirant who desires to review the fundamentals of the pre-clinical sciences." Per the title page the book contains "190 original illustrations mostly from dissections and animated drawings by the author." If you think some of the small illustrations in the book somewhat resemble motion picture film frames you will not be surprised to learn that Dr. Sarnoff 1886-1961 was a pioneering maker of medical films who between 1920 and 1924 produced a six-reel set of films with this same title which was bundled with this book and a set of slides. The author's Preface explains how the book coordinates with the films and its text in fact is divided into "reels" rather than chapters: "Reel 1 -- the Digestive System" etc. He later produced an even more elaborate set of films: 200 reels depcting 300 opeations released in 1932 under the title "System of General Surgery in Motion Pictures." . c.1927.

rif. 40578FALKE Jacob Von. ART IN THE HOUSE. Boston: L. Prang 1879. 4to. Publisher's full brown morocco elaborately blind and gilt stamped all edges gilt. xxx 356 pages added chromolithographic title page 60 plates. First American edition. Holzenberg # 77. Falke was perhaps the most important German writer on taste in the Aesthetic era. He has written a history of interior decoration--beginning with the Greco-Roman house through the eighteenth century. Critical observations on style and harmony are filtered through aesthetic principles. Successive chapters deal with decorating the house in various stages: the floor wall ornaments ceilings furniture and decorations on the table. His work reflects many of the "artistic" principles in vogue in England and elsewhere: the dependence of Form on function; the importance of good design in everyday living; and the preferred use of historical styles as inspiration rather than strict models for modern decor. This edition was translated by C.C. Perkins from the third German edition. The 60 plates are a combination of five chromolithographs and 55 albertypes and typographic etchings. In addition there are one hundred and sixty-six in-text figures. Front cover with a gilt stamped vignette; interior of front hinge neatly reinforced; some light foxing. Otherwise a very good copy of a heavy book usually found in shaken and worn condition. unknown books

This set has a very distinguished provenance: it came from the estate of Walter Jacob a significant leader in Reform Judaism in America author of 43 books and the chief rabbi at Rodef Shalom in Pittsburgh. His father Ernest Israel Jacob 1899-1974 was district rabbi of Augsburg and was deported to Dachau concentration camp for several months after Kristallnacht in 1938; he eventually emigrated to the US. Walter's grandfather Benno Jacob was considered one of the great biblical commentators of liberal Judaism. Ernest Jacob has written a note on the front pastedown of the first volume: "The textual corrections and marginal annotations in this Vienna edition of the Babylonian Talmud are by the late orientalist Samuel Landauer a great Aramaic scholar formally librarian of the University library at Strasbourg Alsace from whose estate I bought this work. Ernest I. Jacob." A lovely 19th century Hebrew edition of the central text of Rabbinic Judaism and the source of Jewish law and theology compiled in the 3rd to 6th centuries in Mesopotamia.
