First and only edition of this richly illustrated scarce and uncommon book was printed for the German Emperor Wilhelm II and his wife Augusta Victoria the commemoration of the construction of Alman Çesmesi i.e. German Fountain in Constantinople and the first anniversary of the Wilhelm II's travel to the Ottoman Empire in 1898. The fountain's design was drawn by the architect Spitta and constructed by the architect Schoele with the German architect Carlitzik and Italian architect Joseph Anthony working on the project. The fountain was built in Germany and then transported piece by piece to Istanbul reassembled in its current site and officially opened on January 27 1901 on the birthday of German Emperor Wilhelm II. Wilhelm II's voyage to the Levant in 1898 was a state visit that the German Emperor undertook in the Ottoman Empire between 25 October and 12 November 1898. The Kaiser started his journey to the Ottoman Eyalets with Istanbul on 16 October 1898; then he went by yacht to Haifa on 25 October. After visiting Jerusalem and Bethlehem the Kaiser went back to Jaffa to embark on Beirut where he took the train passing Aley and Zahlé to reach Damascus on 7 November. This book is richly illustrated including many views of the cities of this voyage's destinations like Jerusalem Damascus Beirut Beirut Jafa Baalbek etc. On 10 November Wilhelm went to visit Baalbek before heading to Beirut to board his ship back home on 12 November. His visit spurred interest in the German Templer colonies in Palestine. One of the Kaiser's traveling companions Colonel Joseph von Ellrichshausen initiated the formation of a society for the advancement of the German settlements in Palestine named the Gesellschaft Zur Förderung der Deutschen Ansiedlungen in Palästina in Stuttgart. It enabled the settlers to acquire land for new settlements by offering them low-interest loans. A subsequent second wave of German settlers founded Wilhelma named after the Kaiser now called Bnei Atarot in 1902 near Lod Walhalla 1903 near the original Jaffa colony followed by Bethlehem of Galilee 1906. The German Settlement Society successfully encouraged some of the Templars to return to the official national Protestant Church. The non-Templar colony of Waldheim now Alonei Abba was subsequently founded next to Bethlehem of Galilee in 1907 by proselytized Templers now affiliated with the Old-Prussian State Church. The visit resulted in the highest-profile political event in the life of Theodor Herzl considered the founder of Zionism. Through the efforts of William Hechler via Frederick I Grand Duke of Baden Herzl publicly met Wilhelm II three times during the voyage once in Istanbul on 15 October 1898 and twice in Palestine 29 October and 2 November. The meetings significantly advanced Herzl's and Zionism's legitimacy in Jewish and world opinion. Wikipedia. Only one copy in OCLC Library of Congress. Karl Süssheim Collection no. 1300 900684728.

Binding tight and square pages clean and unmarked with no toning or foxing. 1760 Full-Leather. 44 pp. 12mo. A12 B10. Navy blue leather gilt titles gilt dentelles on turn-ins marbled endpapers ribbon marker bound in. French text. This work by Frederick II the King of Prussia also known as Frederick the Great presents his political philosophy including thoughts on morality social structure and individuals/citizens and their role in the health of nations. It is perhaps most important for the response it elicited from Voltaire who wrote a satirical letter in response in which he ironically praised the ruler for his ability to simultaneously applaud the humble virtues of the everyman represented here as a cobbler while sending many such men to their deaths in military campaigns specifically the Seven Years War. While Voltaire mocked this particular effort the two corresponded regularly and Voltaire even called Frederick a 'philosopher king.' Frederick published other political works as well including a rebuttal to Machiavelli's The Prince. Pierre Mortier hardcover
