The work formed part of the celebrated occult library of Stanislas de Guaïta with his well known ownership inscription as well as his autograph annotations regarding its quality and provenance. Stanislas de Guaïta underscores the importance of the present copy ""Peculiar and very rare book"" and further adds another annotation: ""In this copy the engravings are wanting"". Although lacking its illustrations the work attracted the bibliophile's attention as it is in any case so rare that surviving copies have often suffered the ravages of time: even the BnF's copy is missing several leaves. Guaïta's collection of books and manuscripts on alchemy witchcraft magic astrology magnetism spiritism and other esoteric fields is regarded as one of the most complete and scholarly of its kind. Comprising 2227 volumes both early and contemporary some of them of extreme rarity his library remains a reference for the study of esotericism. Guaïta proved to be a passionate bibliomaniac as well as a genuine specialist in the occult sciences: he also made practical use of his library which he used in the writing his Essai des sciences maudites. Guaïta further notes that the copy came from the sale of the libraries of the celebrated spiritists Baroness Güldenstubbe and the Comte d'Ourches Librairie Adolphe Geering Basel 1890 sales at which he made several acquisitions of major importance. This copy appears under no. 1618 of Guaïta's own posthumous sale. Its catalogue published in 1898 and 1899 by the Librairie Dorbon remains a staple of esoteric bibliography. The copy also bears the engraved ex-libris of the leading authority on Stanislas de Guaïta Guy Bechtel author of Notules sur l'art de distinguer les ouvrages provenant des bibliothèques de Monsieur Stanislas de Guaita 1861-1897 avec plusieurs exemples et les reproductions nécessaires à une juste appréciation 1998.

Minute-Book from the North London Zionist Society 1917/18 SIGNED WITH the Minute-Book from the Council of the British Section of the World Jewish Congress 1936-37 SIGNED

1936ref. 39319London: NP 1936. Manuscript. Hardcover. g to vg. Rare collection of two Minute-Books from the North London Zionist Society 1917/18 and the Council of the British Section of the World Jewish Congress 1936-37: - Minute-Book from the North London Zionist Society 1917/18 SIGNED. Quarto. Unpaginated. 68 leaves. Original half decorative cloth over moire covered boards. This minute-book contains the manuscript notes pertaining to the meetings 34 held by the North London Zionist Society between January 7 1917 and December 31 1918. The notes are written on the first 39 leaves. Affiliated to the English Zionist Federation EZF the North London Zionist Society supported the reestablishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine then an area controlled by the Ottoman Empire. This minute-book is particularly interesting in the sense that it was written at a turning point in the history of Zionism. World War I was in its fourth year and the conflict raised hopes among Zionists that the crumbling Ottoman Empire will eventually break up. They hoped to attain support from one of the Great Powers for increased Jewish immigration and eventual sovereignty in Palestine and they eventually succeeded thanks to their chief spokesman Chaim Weizmann a bright statesman and a scientist highly respected in Great Britain and well versed in European diplomacy. In support of the Zionist cause his skillful negotiations with the Foreign Office were climaxed on November 2 1917 by the letter from the foreign secretary to Lord Rothschild which became known as the Balfour Declaration. This document declared the British government's "sympathy with Jewish Zionist aspirations" viewed with favor "the establishment in Palestine of a National Home for the Jewish People" and announced an intent to facilitate the achievement of this objective. The Balfour Declaration radically changed the status of the Zionist movement. It promised support from a major world power and gave the Zionists international recognition. That day Zionism was transformed by the British pledge from an utopy into a legitimate and achievable undertaking. The minutes of the 34 meetings featured in this manuscript indicate this event see the entry for November 25 1917 and discuss the following projects and resolutions: decision to reorganize the Society and place Zionist propaganda in the North of London on a firmer basis 1/7/1917; the announcement that Mr. Nahum Sokolow Zionist leader author translator and a pioneer of Hebrew journalism has agreed to address the first public meeting of the Society 1/31/1917; the announcement that Dr. Weizmann has agreed to address the next public meeting of the Society 3/28/17. followed by a protest made at the London Council in connection with the non-appearance of Dr. Weizmann 4/25/1917; Proposal to obtain Mr. Israel Zangwill's services as lecturer at a public meeting 4/11/1917; the question of Jewish military action in Palestine 6/13/1917 and the question of raising a Jewish Legion 12/23/1917; the appointment of Nathan Lazarus and Maurice L. Perlzweig as delegates to the special conference of the EZF 10/1918 etc. Each entry is dated and hand-signed by Chairman Nathan Lazarus. By order of appearance the following members' names are mentioned in the minute-book: Nathan Lazarus Chairman; Maurice L. Perlzweig; Miss Cohen; Mr. B. Grad; Mr. Morgenstern; Mr. Kersch; Mr. Scher; Miss P. Slowe; Mr. Ginsburg; Mr. Benson; Mr. L. Wainstein; Mr. Traub; Mr. A. Levine warden of the New Synagogue Stamford Hill; and Mr. Charles Kauffman. Some rubbing and abrasion to moire. Sporadic smudges to endpapers. Minor age-toning throughout. Binding in overall fair to good- interior in very good condition. Notes: After almost two millennia of existence of the Jewish diaspora without a national state the Zionist movement was founded in the late 19th century by secular Jews largely as a response by Ashkenazi Jews to rising antisemitism in Europe exemplified by the Dreyfus affair in France and the anti-Jewish pogroms in the Russian Empire. The political movement was formally established by the Austro-Hungarian journalist Theodor Herzl in 1897 following the publication of his book "Der Judenstaat." At that time the movement sought to encourage Jewish migration to the Ottoman Palestine. Rabbi Maurice Perlzweig 1895-1985 was a founder of the World Jewish Congress and served as the first chairman of the British Section. He was born in Poland and was educated in England where he received acclaim for his oratorical skills and his athletic abilities as a world-class runner at Cambridge. He was founder and chairman of the University Labor Federation of Great Britain and president of the World Union of Jewish Students. After receiving his ordination he officiated at the Liberal Synagogue in London. Joining Nahum Goldmann and Stephen Wise at the founding assembly of the WJC in Geneva in 1936 Perlzweig shortly thereafter was elected chairman of the British Section. During the critical war years Perlzweig was appointed director of the WJC international affairs department in New York. In the post-war years he represented the WJC at the Economic and Social Council of the UN drafting many documents submitted to the Commission on Human Rights. Notably he served as a chief spokesman and negotiator at the UN on behalf of the rights of the North African Jewish communities during the turbulent period in the 1950's when the Maghreb states were achieving independence.

Notes: The World Jewish Congress WJC was founded in Geneva Switzerland in August 1936 as an international federation of Jewish communities and organizations in reaction to the rise of Nazism and the growing wave of European anti-Semitism. The main aims of the organization were "to mobilize the Jewish people and the democratic forces against the Nazi onslaught" to "fight for equal political and economic rights everywhere and particularly for the Jewish minorities in Central and Eastern Europe" to support the establishment of a "Jewish National Home in Palestine" and to create "a worldwide Jewish representative body based on the concept of the unity of the Jewish people democratically organized and able to act on matters of common concern.".

With a woodcut printer's device on the title-page. 68 11 1 blank pp. Early edition of one of the very first children's books ever printed. The work contains a description of textiles and ancient Roman dress and was specifically meant for the entertainment and edification of children. Although the title page states that it is the second edition it is actually the third printed by Estienne. It is nearly identical to the second but uses small caps for the first word of every chapter to make the structure of the text clearer.The work is the first part of a series on Roman antiquities written by Lazare de Baïf 1496-1547 in the late 1520s. It discusses ancient Roman hats and shoes carpets and rugs and the colours of wool and other textiles with French translations of many of the terms. De Baïf's work was edited and abridged by Charles Estienne 1505-1564 scholar physician and younger brother of printer Robert Estienne 1503-1559. It was a huge success with more than a dozen editions recorded for the first ten years and was followed up by the Estiennes with several other similar children's books.De Baïf was a humanist poet and wealthy diplomat. He was the French ambassador in Venice and Germany. He hired Charles Estienne as a Latin tutor for his son Jean-Antoine de Baïf 1532-1589 who later became a poet. Estienne initially abridged De Baïf's works to provide simplified Latin readings for his student but soon published it for the enjoyment of other children as well. He was an elegant writer of Latin verse and is commended by poet Joachim du Bellay as having introduced a few valuable words into the French language.A water stain in the lower outer corner of the leaves and a small hole in the lower margin of page 6-8.

Recently bound in a magnificent pastiche-binding of brown half calf with five raised bands and gilt red leather title-label to elaborately gilt spine. Vellum corners. The frontispiece/engraved half title trimmed with loss to upper and lower part of the plate. Closed tear to outer margin. Title-page closely trimmed with loss to first line of title. A few leaves with marginal repairs. Light occassional browning throughout otherwise internally nice and clean. 14 220 123 5 68 pp. folded frontispiece/engraved half title. 41 woodcut in text depicting various processes of mining and metallurgy. Second edition including Berward’s lexicon of mining terms of Ercker’s seminal and beautifully illustrated work on mining and metallurgy – of immense importance to and influence upon the subject throughout the 16th and 17th centuries. Its detailed approach has made it a key reference in the history of science and technology and its practical focus contributed to the economic development of mining regions. "Ercker's treatise is the most authoritative contemporary work on 16th-century metallurgy and assaying. Ercker gave a systematic review of methods of testing alloys and minerals and of obtaining and refining various metals as well as methods of manufacturing acids salts and other chemical compounds including saltpeter. He described the apparatus and laboratory equipment used in metallurgy and assaying and gave a detailed account of laboratory methods all of which he himself had used." Norman "Erker's Beschreibung may be regarded as the first manual of analytical and metallurgical chemistry. The only one of Ercker’s works to contain many drawings it presents a systematic review of the methods of testing alloys and minerals of silver gold copper antimony mercury bismuth and lead; of obtaining and refining these metals as well as of obtaining acids salts and other compounds. The last chapter is devoted to saltpeter. Ercker's account of the fact that zinc precipitates other metals from solutions is to be found only in the 1684 and later editions" DSB. “Considering the importance of Ercker’s tratise it is remarkable how little is on record about him. He was inspector-general of the mine of Hungary Transylvania and the Tyrol which position he held under three consecutive emperors in the sixteenth century. He book was highly prized at the time for it was a record of practical experiences and was not burdened with theories and hypotheses. Ferguson. Ferguson 1 244.

Early edition of one of the first children's books ever published together with the second and third part of the series. Charles Estienne 1504-1564 served as private tutor to Jan Antoine de Baïf son of the humanist and diplomat Lazare de Baïf ca. 1496-1547. He planned a series of books that were to be instructive but also specially written to entertain children and give them pleasure in learning. This was a radical Renaissance notion at a time when most school books merely contained standard texts often from classical antiquity that children were to memorise and recite. The first two parts of the series were abridged adaptations for children with French glossaries of the popular works on classical antiquity by De Baïf respectively on Roman dress and Roman vessels. The third part of the series was from Estienne's own hand. It gives the names and descriptions of plants and trees with French translations of all botanical terms. First published at Paris by Robert Estienne in 1535 all three children's books were first published at Lyon by the scholarly publisher Sebastian Gryphius in 1536. The present copies are the second Lyon editions.The final work is first edition of a scholarly text book on weights and measures including weights of money based on information drawn from written sources throughout history. It was compiled by Robert Ceneau 1583-1560 who was the bishop of Vence Riets and Avranches respectively.With ink annotations on the front end papers. The vellum is somewhat soiled.

Both volumes are in very good condition with overall rubbing and some scuffing on the spine of vol. II scattered foxing and two early stitched repairs: on the lower corner of one leaf in vol. II pp. 201-202 and diagonally across one leaf in vol. III pp. 399-400. Two well-preserved volumes of George Ripley’s pioneering and important radical magazine. Published and printed at the utopian Brook Farm community in West Roxbury Massachusetts the magazine was well ahead of its time particularly in its advocacy of women's rights and featured in its pages many of the country's best critical and literary figures. As noted in a recent exhibition at Yale University America and the Utopian Dream the Brook Farm community was founded by George and Sophia Ripley in 1841 and “began as a product of the transcendentalist movement and a showplace for Christian socialism. The commune had more than 120 members at its highest point” including a young Nathaniel Hawthorne “and was widely regarded as an intellectual center. After four years of existence however the members changed its purpose to that of a Fourierist phalanx. When the headquarters of Fourierism moved from New York City to Brook Farm in 1845 the Fourierist Magazine the Phalanx was renamed the Harbinger to be published on the Brook Farm printing press.” The Harbinger received the full-time attention of Ripley and his associates Charles A. Dana and John S. Dwight. Dana later achieved celebrity as editor of the New York Sun and Dwight went on to become one of the earliest and foremost music critics in the United States. The magazine offered an alternative to transcendentalists who admired Emerson’s romantic perfectionism but rejected his belief in renovation through individualism and self-culture. The contributors to the Harbinger instead emphasized social reform and cooperation which would elevate the individual while benefiting the entire community; the magazine quickly became the most important "Associationist" journal in America. Also included among the many notable contributors in addition to Ripley Dana and Dwight are Albert Brisbane who first introduced the theories of Charles Fourier in the United States; William H. Channing a key figure in the early years of the woman's rights movement; and M.E. Lazarus an important American individualist anarchist who advocated for free love. The original owner of both volumes “W.B. Brown" was related to John Stillman Brown a Unitarian minister and member of Brook Farm who acted as instructor in Theosophical and Practical Agriculture. J.S. Brown was the husband of Mary Ripley George Ripley's cousin. Volume three has two additional small owner's signatures written in light pencil on the outer margin of p. 70: "Mary G. Brown"; and p. 68: "E.H. Brown". An attractive scarce set of two consecutive volumes in the original bindings. Published by the Brook Farm Phalanx. New York: Burgess, Stringer, and Company.
