Best.-Nr. 37662In-8, broché, 7 p. S.l. [Grenoble?], 1788.
In-8, broché, 7 p. Edition originale et unique. La découverture d'une médaille ancienne (vers 1580) dans un jardin près de Grenoble et l'ensemble des symboles qu'elle comportait, renvoyaient prophétiquement, en cette année d'Assemblée des Notables (1788), à la nécessité d'une étroite union entre Clergé, Noblesse et Tiers état. Sur la médaille, les trois ordres (Clergé - Noblesse - Plèbe / Concorde) sont représentés autour d'une colonne qui, s'ils venaient à se séparer serait renversée. Sur la colonne repose un Dauphin couronné, sous la devise "Hominum Amator": l'Ami des Hommes. Les deux faces de la médaille sont reproduites page 7. Parue sans nom d'auteur, la brochure est sans doute due à Letourneau qui avait consacré à cette médaille un article dans les "Affiches du Dauphiné" du 21 nov. 1788, p. 2. (Conlon, 'Siècle des Lumières', 88:3455 qui identifie l'auteur. 'Répertoire des sources de la numismatique française', 1889, II, n°4025. Maignien, 'Bibliographie du Dauphiné pendant la Rév.

1942Best.-Nr. 053306Ankara: TBMM Hususi" Letterhead Dated 11. IV. 1942 Ankara 1942. Soft cover. Very Good. Original manuscript autograph letter signed ALS by Ali Çetinkaya sent to Turkish doctor Ethem Akif Battalgil who was the father of Fahire Battalgil Battalgazi who was the first Turkish zoologist. For Battalgil's brother's death Çetinkaya is conveying his condolences. The letter was written and signed by Ali Çetinkaya but he added his wife and daughter. Dated 11. IV. 1942 Ankara. Ali Çetinkaya also known as "Kel" Ali Bey was an Ottoman-born Turkish army officer and politician who served eight terms in the Grand National Assembly of Turkey including a period in 1939-40 as his country's first Minister of Transport. He was born in Kara Hisâr-i Sâhib present-day Afyonkarahisar in Hüdavendigâr Vilayet as the son of Ahmed Efendi. He studied in the Bursa Military High School Bursa Askerî Idadisi . After graduating from military high school he entered the Ottoman Military Academy Mekteb-i Füsûn-u Harbiyye-i Sâhâne In 1898 he graduated the academy and joined the Ottoman military as a Second Lieutenant Mülâzim-i Sani . During World War I he served for the army in the Caucasus and Galicia fronts. When the Greek forces were landing at Smyrna on May 15 1919 he was a lieutenant colonel and the commander of 172nd Infantry Regiment stationed in the Aegean coastal town of Ayvalik. His regiment was under the command of the 56th Division of Hürrem Bey. Ali played a key role in the first stage of the Greco-Turkish War of 1919-1922 starting with the opening battle. He was briefly able to hold back the advance into the city of Greek occupation forces. His action is considered to mark the first shots fired by regular forces in the 1919-22 Greco-Turkish War although there were earlier confrontations in which irregular militias participated including the battle involving Hasan Tahsin in Izmir as well as actions in Urla and Ödemis. The hill in Ayvalik from where the first shots were fired is now called Ilk Kursun Tepesi First Bullet Hill. Today there is a military rehabilitation center on that hill. After the war Ali Çetinkaya was elected to the Turkish Grand National Assembly for eight successive terms and served until 1942 holding ministerial posts in six different governments including with the formation of a Ministry of Transport becoming Turkey's first Minister of Transport. Ali Çetinkaya is considered a hero in Turkey. Cunda Island of Ayvalik was renamed Alibey Adasi Ali Bey Island after him although the old name remains in common use. TBMM Hususi" Letterhead, Dated 11.

Best.-Nr. 31012folio 3 pages plus stampless address leaf some weakness at folds and hole from seal opening with loss of a few words of text. 1828 Ohio Jacksonian Democratic Legislators fear "conspiracies and plots" by "Blue Light" ex-Federalist supporters of "King John the Second" John Quincy Adams. An important Ohio political letter from the tumultuous months before the presidential election when a new Democratic Party was still forming around the candidacy of Andrew Jackson and supporters of his opponent John Quincy Adams mostly remnants of the defunct Federalist Party simply called themselves "Anti-Jacksonians". The party lines were still so blurred that as this letter from two Jacksonian state legislators makes clear there was a great deal of mutual suspicion approaching paranoia about conspiracies and plots that grew out of confused loyalties. The text is particularly interesting because of the writers' use of two forgotten political slurs – "Blue Lights" referred to former Anglophile Federalists who had been accused for over a decade since the War of 1812 which they had adamantly opposed of having made friendly signals to British ships in order to warn the enemy of American blockade runners putting to sea from Connecticut. The other innuendo as the reference to John Quincy Adams as "King John the Second" reflecting the Jacksonian claim that he and his "Blue Light Federalists" sought to reunite America with England the new nation's former colonial master. Both Hamm the co-author and Cox the recipient were notable Jacksonians. Hamm was a doctor who had served as a Surgeon in the War of 1812 before being elected to the legislature; he became so powerful in the politics of his county as to win a diplomatic appointment through political patronage. After Jackson's election Hamm was appointed the third American envoy to Chile after its independence from Spain. Cox also an uncompromising Jacksonian Democrat was the son of a Revolutionary War General and pioneer publisher of the first newspaper in eastern Ohio which became the most influential Jacksonian paper in the state. His better-known son Samuel "Sunshine" Cox was a US Congressman during the Civil War and was later appointed US Ambassador to Ottoman Turkey by Democratic Grover Cleveland. The text: "Among many of our very best friends among whom we always class you we have neglected to write to you supposing that you would in the common course receive everything going on here worth knowing. You are aware of our great difficulties of getting along here among a pack of as thorough going and rude trained blue-lights as ever were permitted to run at large! However so it is we are yet alive and as much in the bargain! We had expected that among our friends who came on here that you would have been among the number. To those who came here they proved a great consolation; for believe us that you can form and we can describe no conceptions of the conspiracies and plots which are hourly carried on here to put down every body who will not sing hosannas to King John the 2d. As you know we have endeavoured with all our might to pursue a neutral attitude amidst these conflicting elements. How far we have succeeded time must tell. There are very many trials with which we are beset which it is impossible now to give you any thing like a correct understanding. We have written to but very few of our friends. This is no place for pleasure or amusement to representatives who are disposed to do their duty to those who sent them here. Among our difficulties you will know that we have with us one person that there is no harm in keeping a watchful eye over. A word is enough – but how it will yet end is very uncertain. We have made and are daily making sacrifices on your account and that of all our friends. Nothing that human impunity or industry can effect will be withheld on our part until the close but we are not at liberty to promise much on that particular subject for this and the reasons heretofore advanced. For while we keep a sharp look out we in our turns are well watched and perhaps more constantly watched than any two members in both branches of the General Assembly. The friends of John 2 are a majority in both branches and they exercise this authority in accordance with the mandates of Grimble King and Company. As to our local interests – school Lands – Sale of Section 16 – Taylors dam etc. I hope will prove somewhat satisfactory to the public. Write to Mr. J.C.Stockton Representative but not on the subject because he will tell. But write to him that the Blue Lights in Zanesville are boasting that they have got him – and any thing else which you may think will flatter him. We also think that a number of you had better write to him soon and continue it until the very close of the session! You know what we wish it done for and you must not neglect it. Your brother Saml.

We know that Mr. Stilwell can with what is necessary here – that is to unite with us in words missing.a candidate whom we many rely upon when words missing The mischief he does is through the Blue Lights; and at the same time by palming himself upon the credulous of our side.
