1863réf. 843421863. Phillipps Charles Spencer March. Jurisprudence. London J.

Corners and spine ends worn. Bookplate to front free endpaper. Property stamp to title page. Worn but a good copy. $250. Phillipps examines the meaning of jurisprudence and distinguishes it from the more intuitive concept of justice. He argues that the fundamental principles of justice are matters of instinct and conscience not science. While some jurists might be led astray by "sophistry" even simple people can grasp true justice. Phillipps compares jurisprudence to a scientific language for expressing thought and suggests it is possible to create a "scientific system" of jurisprudence on the basis of any legal principles whether they are just or arbitrary. unknown books

Opera nuovamente ritrovata utilissima & necessaria à Professori d'Organo. Con Privilegio published in Venetia by Giacomo Vincenti. Diruta an Italian organist teacher and music theorist was a pupil of Zarlino Costanzo Porta and Claudiio Merulo. "He was the author of the first comprehensive treatise on organ playing in the form of a dialogue under the title Il transilvano published in two parts Venice 1593 1609. . His treatise on playing the organ which he praises as the king of instruments was published on the instigation of Merulo who believed that certain rules were necessary for playing his own and similar compositions and the treatise probably sums up Merulo's own teaching. Diruta concerned himself with a multitude of the organist's preoccupations: the position of the player at the instrument fingering diminutions and ornamentation the application of the rules of counterpoint the church modes and the most suitable registration for the character of each transposition the method of intabulating vocal music and the method of accompanying intoning and responding to the choir. The two parts of the work are accompanied by sample intabulations of vocal music and of original compositions for the organ by Diruta and by a number of other composers." Claude V.

Light wear to extremities subtle curling to the edges and a few photos with tiny creases to the corners; overall Very Good. A substantial group of images documenting the April 4 1970 "March For Victory" in Washington DC. This march and the victory marches that followed were organized by the Rev. Carl McIntire 1906-2002 and his wife Fairy who were fundamentalist ministers radio evangelists and founders of the International Council of Christian Churches ICCC and American Council of Christian Churches ACCC. The April 4th march drew close to 50000 protestors - the era's largest pro-war demonstration - and was stridently against the "Vietnamization" of the war which McIntire viewed as a sign of retreat and running away from America's duty to fight communism. The march was to take place from Capitol Hill down Pennsylvania Avenue and conclude at the base of the Washington Monument. "Rather than the usual college-age protesters known for demonstrating against the war the Victory March's attendees were largely middle aged and elderly featuring contingents of World War I World War II and Korean War veterans as well as Cuban exiles and members of the National Socialist White People's Party.The demonstrators carried signs and banners saying "Nixon is a No-Win Swine" "In God We Trust" and "Marxism is Jewish" as well as Confederate and American flags and many wore "Wallace for President" hats.While the war was the main point of contention the masses demonstrated for and against a plethora of other issues including support for prayer in school to stop bussing programs designed to desegregate schools and just generally against "secular universities and hippies and yippies everywhere" Mednick Avi. Blog post: "The Silent Majority Storm The National Mall." Boundary Stones: WETA's Local History Website 03/02/2017. Georgia governor Lester Maddox was present and spoke at the rally at the Washington Monument; by the time he spoke the counter-protesters who had been showing up all day outnumbered the Victory Marchers. The images in this archive capture both sides of the march. Carl and Fairy McIntire appear holding a Bible and an American flag with their followers and their children shown marching carrying flags and signs seated on the Washington Mall and stomping on North Vietnamese flags. Numerous images of the counter-protesters are present carrying signs American and North Vietnamese flags passing out flowers dancing a few covered in decorative paint and seated with instruments with a number of photos showing hippies disrobing or fully naked bathing in the reflecting pool in front of the Lincoln Memorial. We have been able to ascertain little about the photographer aside from his name and that he was a member of the Silver Spring Camera Club. A striking group of images documenting the intersection of the "Silent Majority" and the anti-war movement. 81746. James B. Johnson unknown books

1962réf. 189881962. Hastings March. Rage of Desire and Toward Howard. All Cats Are Grey 1962 pair two lesbian themed novels in a single duplex paperback issued for the early 1960s mass market. The format allowed each novel its own illustrated wrapper and promotional language with women and same sex desire used to market the book from both directions. The All Cats Are Grey wrapper explicitly describes a "sisterhood" within "cinema society" documenting the sensational vocabulary through which publishers advertised lesbian subject matter to paperback readers before Stonewall. Hastings March. Rage of Desire. Toward Howard. All Cats Are Grey. Chicago: Dollar Book Company 1962. Duplex edition containing two novels. 192 pages. Brightly colored pictorial wrappers 6.5 × 4 inches. The Rage of Desire wrapper depicts a reclining blonde woman. The opposing All Cats Are Grey wrapper shows one woman undressing while another woman wearing mod sunglasses observes from the background. Its caption reads: "Prowling through the lush jungle of cinema society is the fraternity of a third theme.that predatory sulky sexy sisterhood ." The two cover treatments make lesbian sexuality an explicit component of the book's commercial presentation rather than leaving its subject to the interior narrative alone. Published in 1962 the duplex preserves the packaging and vocabulary used to sell lesbian themed fiction through inexpensive American paperbacks at a time when publishers commonly presented same sex desire through suggestions of secrecy sexual danger and voyeurism. The unusual two novel construction also places two separately authored treatments of lesbian subject matter within one commercial object with each cover functioning as an advertisement for the novel entered from that side. Bright wrappers with the supplied description noting no substantial defects. Very good condition. unknown books
