1831réf. 30282large folio broadsheet circular printed on both sides "Supplement." At upper left corner but no other imprint information. Folded in quarters some minor spotting else a very good copy. The Marquis de Lafayette the president of the committee once again leads a fight for freedom although this time only diplomatically. Lafayette subscribed 2000 francs – the largest subscriber. The presumed first printing of this broadsheet very likely an extra or supplement to the Journal des Debats a Parisian weekly with regular contributions by Victor Hugo one of the committee members and with what would have been a sympathetic political stance. The broadsheet prints the resolutions in favor of the committee in four columns dated in type at end February 12 1831. The committee members are also listed as well as subscribers throughout France and their donations. Victor Hugo and Lafayette's son George were both among the committee members. The November Uprising 1830-1831 Polish-Russian War also known as the Cadet Revolution was an armed rebellion in the heartland of partitioned Poland against the Russian Empire. The uprising began on 29 November 1830 in Warsaw when the young Polish officers from the local Army of the Congress Poland's military academy revolted led by lieutenant Piotr Wysocki. They were soon joined by large segments of Polish Society and the insurrection spread to the territories of Lithuania western Belarus and the right bank of Ukraine. Despite some local successes the uprising was eventually crushed by a numerically superior Imperial Russian Army under Ivan Paskevich. Czar Nicholas I decreed that henceforth Poland was an integral part of Russia with Warsaw little more than a military garrison and its university closed. Sympathetic echoes of Polish aspirations were reverberating throughout Europe. Under Lafayette's chairmanship enthusiastic meetings were held in Paris. James Fenimore Cooper the American author who was in France at that time was also involved in attempts to help the Poles. Money for the Polish cause was also raised and collected in the United States. Although early reprints are available we have been unable to locate a copy of this undoubted first printing.

Minor dampstaining but good to very good. From the library of Alfred Swaine Taylor founder of forensic toxicology an archive relating to the notorious and sensational Charles Bravo poisoning a case that is still unsolved. The Bravo mystery has inspired several works of fiction including Shirley Jackson's We Have Always Lived in the Castle 1962 and a three-part BBC serial titled The Poisoning of Charles Bravo 1975. Bravo 1845-76 a 33-year-old barrister died of tartar emetic antimony poisoning on 21 April 1876 less than five months after his marriage to a wealthy widow; the marriage was reportedly an unhappy one. The inquest on Bravo's death held on 25 and 28 April returned an open verdict but the circumstances of the case were so suspicious that Taylor offered his expert advice to Harry Bodkin Poland one of the attorneys for the Crown. Our archive includes the letter Poland sent thanking Taylor for "your letter about the Bravo Case and for the offer of further advice and assistance" and informing Taylor that he "will show your letter to Mr. Augustus K. Stephenson the Solicitor to the Treasury." Stephenson is represented in the archive by three letters asking for Taylor's expert opinion on the case: "You have read the account of the Post-mortem encl. by Dr. Payne . . . That being so does it enable you to form an opinion as to whether the antimony was taken in solid food . . . letter of 3 June. "Assuming small traces of antimony to have been found in the liver of a deceased person-Can you form any opinion as to length of time before death that the antimony was taken" letter of 5 June. "Can you tell me whether antimony in the form of tartar emetic wd. if taken in small doses at intervals during pregnancy induce a miscarriage letter of 22 July. The last item in our archive is a galley proof corrected in Taylor's hand of the first two-thirds of an article on the Bravo case published on 20 May in the British Medical Journal; although the article is unsigned it was most likely written by Taylor. Based on the medical evidence Taylor concluded that Bravo had ingested the fatal dose of antimony during his last meal. He severely criticized the investigators in the case for not testing the remains of the bottle of wine he had drunk with the meal-"the only article of food not shared in common with the three who sat at the dinner-table . . . If tartar emetic had been found in this wine much of the present mystery hanging about the case would be removed . . . In tracing the further history of this bottle we learn that no one now knows what became of it or its contents." . unknown

Portfolio of seven large folding maps on on 4 sheets of heavy paper 3 are double sided 1 is singled sided. Primarily black and white with some color. Text in Polish. Title translates to “Nazi camps in Poland 1939 - 1945. An Encyclopaedic Reference Book: Maps." Collection of 7 maps each 84 cm x 60 cm 33 x 24 inches produced by Jan Laskowski at the Main Commission for the Investigation of Nazi Crimes in Poland. The maps comprise Volume II of the work; Volume I is a heavily illustrated 676-page book of the same title which we offer separately. The Seven maps all present are: - Map 1 Single Sided: Hitlerowskie obozy na ziemiach polskich w latach 1939 - 1945. “Nazi camps in Poland in the years 1939 - 1945”. Showing: concentration and extermination camps sub-camps of concentration camps extermination centers POW camps more important sub-camps working divisions commandos and temporary POW camps penal labor camps major labor camps prisons transit camps & ghettos. - Map 2A: Getta na ziemiach polskich w okresie okupacji hitlerowskiej w latach 1939 - 1945 “Ghettos in Poland during the Nazi occupation in 1939 - 1945”. - Map 2B: Hitlerowskie obozy przejsciowe na ziemiach polskich w latach 1939 - 1945 “Nazi transit camps in Poland in 1939-1945”. - Map 3A: Hitlerowskie wiezienia i areszty na ziemiach polskich w latach 1939 - 1945 “Nazi prisons and arrests in Poland in 1939 - 1945”. - Map 3B: Hitlerowskie obozy pracy na ziemiach polskich w latach 1939 - 1945 “Nazi labor camps in Poland in the years 1939 - 1945”. - Map 4A: Hitlerowskie obozy jenieckie na ziemiach polskich w latach 1939 - 1945 “Nazi POW camps in Poland in 1939 - 1945”. - Map 4B: Hitlerowskie obozy koncentracyjne i osrodki zaglady na ziemiach polskich w latach 1939 - 1945 “Nazi concentration camps and extermination centers in Poland in 1939 - 1945”. Maps 2A & 2B have been described as a “Terrifying pair of maps showing the locations of German POW and internment camps in Poland during World War II highlighting the widespread locations of these establishments. In some parts of the map the information becomes so dense that three inset maps are shown. This map was designed by Jan Laskowski and printed in 1979 as part of a work on the Nazi extermination machine produced by PWN Warsaw a state-owned research-focused publishing house in Poland. The map on the front is particularly interesting for its depiction of symbols used to classify internees in German camps. The uppermost of these depictions shows the combinations that can be made for different types of prisoners of different levels of importance. The armbands that would have been worn by these prisoners is shown as well as the prison uniforms. Other details are also shown. The map lists hundreds of sites run by Nazi operators throughout the country. These include concentration camps death camps transitional camps and ghettos. The map is divided according to Poland's voivodeships with a key in the lower left. Names of cities too long to spell are also provided in the lower left. This map was produced during a point in Poland's history during which it was actively revisiting the period during the Second World War. Leading social scientists devoted their time to trying to gather all the living as well as the recorded history of the events of the Holocaust and related atrocities before this information vanished. Leading these efforts particularly during the 1960s and 1970s was the Glówna Komisja Scigania Zbrodni przeciwko Narodowi Polskiemu known as the Chief Commission for the Prosecution of Crimes against the Polish Nation. They were active in publishing maps both for domestic educational purposes and for international remembrance and diplomatic efforts regarding the Holocaust. Jan Laskowski was a leading cartographer who produced a number of maps in this field. These maps were produced as part of a series of maps that purported to combine to form an atlas of all of Hitler's crimes in Poland. Many of the large wall maps produced during this period could only show a fraction of the crimes or only the atrocities committed in one region. Thus a series of maps was needed to show all the points necessary which this present work contributes to. Polish Reinterpretations of the Holocaust: Studying the effects of German occupation in Poland is a delicate subject. While it is certain that Poland suffered at least as badly as any other European nation during the Second World War reinterpretations of the Holocaust in the country have also been used to satisfy nationalistic tendencies. It has become evident to Western observers in the last several years that there is a strong nationalist movement in Poland that seeks to place blame for the Holocaust solely on the shoulders of non-Polish actors a movement originally fostered under Soviet rule. This movement has gone so far as to limit freedom of speech criminalizing with a three-year sentence the suggestion that Poland or its citizens in any form participated in the murders committed by Nazis. As such the term ‘Polish concentration camps’ has been deemed unacceptable with the government-approved term being ‘concentration camps on Polish territory.’ All lines of evidence show that this map 2A & 2B was produced using the most accurate and impartial historical sources. The language on the map is simple naming only ‘Hitler's Atrocities’ and there is no evidence of a clear anti-German bias. However it is impossible to separate this map one of the most important productions of the remembrance movement during this period from the social situation in which it was produced. Maps like these can easily be converted into propaganda instruments and today's Polish leaders most of whom grew up during Soviet occupation will have formed their understanding of the Holocaust through maps like these. Soviet Censorship: While the content of the map appears to have been produced free from bias the map still had to go through Soviet censorship. Mentioning prisoner of war camps in which primarily Soviet troops were interned would have been a prerequisite condition upon which the publication of the map rested. Further the lack of mention of any Soviet killings or camps requires no explanation….The map unlike many later maps makes no differentiation between the populations who suffered at the various camps. This represents the Soviet agenda that all nations suffered fought and won equally which sought to limit divisions in this post-identity state” Ruderman 2022.

1940261 pages. "Nazi theory has evolved the concept of 'Lebensraum' (living space) - Nazi practice has realised the fact of 'Todesraum' (death space)" - subtitle. Author conversed with scores of Polish refugees in Paris. "As I listened to their stories I saw with searing vividness the similarity between what is happening in Poland today and what happened in Belgium 25 years ago; the similarity and the difference, which lies in the fact that the Germans today are even more brutal, more bestial than they were in 1914-1918. I decided to publish these stories, together with an essay comparing German conduct during the last war and during the present one, and showing that if they have changed at all it has been for the worse. Some of the stories are so horrible that they exhaust all ordinary human capacity for horror and indignation. However, some, at least, of the victims of German blood lust have escaped death.

18901st edition. Period boards with gilt lettering. 4to. [272 pages], 33 cm. In Hebrew. Title translates to The Time: A Periodical of Politics, Literature, and Science for All Matters Related to Jews and Judaism. One of the early Haskalah Hebrew literary journals published out of Galicia. Issued a weekly basis (September 1890 - May 1891) . The periodical appeared under the names Ha-Zeman and Ru'a? Ha-Zeman in alternate weeks, to avoid paying the duty levied on a weekly. (EJ, 2007) . As YIVO notes, even after the center of the Hebrew Haskalah movement had passed to Russia, animated literary life persisted in Galicia until the beginning of the twentieth century, though it was mainly local and provincial in character. This activity found expression in a broad spectrum of periodicals including Ha-Zeman.
