The Development of International Law. Originally published: London: Longmans Green and Co. 1928. xxxv 566 pp. Reprinted 2003 2010 by The Lawbook Exchange Ltd.

Bullington observes that "the most striking feature about this work is the method of treatment--quite the most effective which has yet been employed in dealing with the subject. Believing that the changes in international law have been the reflection of changes in the political theory and practice of states the author has divided his work into three major periods--the Age of the Prince the Age of the Judge and the Age of the Concert. Based on a wide knowledge of history filtered through an objective and realistic brain this book must take its place as one of the most valuable contributions to the history of international law."

1940ref. 4910New York: Published by and for the benefit of The New York Exchange for Woman's Work; Elert Printing Company Inc. 1940. Octavo-size 23 x 15 cm. 72 pages. Cover title: New York Woman's Exchange Presents Dining for Moderns. Advertisements inside covers and interspersed. FIRST EDITION. A community cookbook of sorts that is one compiled to benefit a cause but one aimed not at cooks but rather at gentlewomen who employ them. "The first rule to remember" instructs Irmgard Hackney Chairman ! of the Woman's Exchange Revue" concerns your cook. Don't make her nervous" preface page 5. The menus and recipes of Dining for Moderns were drawn from the first three years of the Revue 1938-1940; though the serial had begun life under the name Exchange Revue in 1936 an organ of a New York instantiation of the woman's exchange movement incorporated in November 1878. Originally established to benefit "women of cultivation in reduced circumstances" the Exchange prospered long its last store on East 60th Street closed in 2003 and became as well known in the middle decades of the last century for its restaurants as for its promotion of domestic arts and crafts by women. Irmgard Glinicke Mrs. George Edgar Hackney 1892-1976 perceived the need for a kind of manual for women with maids who must fulfill the duties of society hostess but do not particularly relish the role. "You'll be astonished how often you can repeat your dinners with only slight variations to fool your husband" in her case an investment analyst for a firm on the Stock Exchange. Patés canapés consumés Lobster Thermidor Noisette d'Agneau--a snapshot of the cuisine of philanthropic board members not of those in "reduced circumstances."

"This catalogue offers the opportunity to discover the complete oeuvre of one of the most important artists of the second half of the 20th century: Simon Hantaï. From the first paintings after Hantaï's arrival in Paris in 1948 to the pliage paintings this publication which covers sixty years of the painter's life and accompanies the first retrospective of Hantaï's work since 1876 reveals the complexity and extreme diversity of his creation: from the Surrealist paintings to the writing-paintings from the Mariales the first series of works created using the pliage or folding method to the Laissées. Hantaï's approach is analyzed at each stage of its development. Essays accounts by those closest to the artist and a detailed chronology as well as numerous hitherto unpublished illustrations complement this first major reference work on the artist."--Page 4 of cover.

2014ref. 411259Paris: Centre Pompidou 2014. First edition. Corners lightly bumped; internally a clean copy. 11.5 x 9.5 inches. 320 pages. Profusely illustrated in color. Original pictorial boards. "Born in Hungary in 1922 Simon Hantaï moved to Paris at the age of 26 and fell in with André Breton's postwar Surrealist circle where he was quickly acclaimed by Breton himself. But it was not until the early 1960s that Hantaï developed the "pliage" or "folding method" that has made him an influential figure on both sides of the Atlantic. Hantaï began applying paint to folded canvasses which--once the canvasses were unfolded and stretched--resulted in irregular patterns of bold color punctuated by strips of unprimed ground. Throughout the rest of his career Hantaï devoted himself to developing new techniques that slowed down or automated the painterly gesture--a concept that stemmed in part from the early influences of Surrealist automatism Pollock's Abstract Expressionism and Matisse's cut-outs. Hantaï was featured in the Wexner's seminal As Painting exhibition of 2001 and his work is housed in major collections worldwide including The Museum of Modern Art New York. This elegant and comprehensive volume is published for the Centre Pompidou's acclaimed Hantaï retrospective held five years after his death in 2008 and constitutes the first major publication in English on his work" the publisher.
