Contemporary calf. neatly rebacked flyleaves removed some light browning or spotting mostly marginal ink date 1759 at foot of title page a few pen or pencil marks on title and in margins. Fifth edition. 6 149 1 ad pp. 1 vols. 12mo. First published in two editions in 1696 and reprinted in 1697 1721 and the present edition ca. 1750 with changing subtitles. Variously attributed to Mary Astell Judith Drake and H. Wyatt. The present edition includes an ad for The Universal Library kept by Newcastle bookseller R. Akenhead jun. The date is conjectured from the R. Akenhead junior imprint which surfaces briefly in two other works dated 1750. A curious note on the verso of the dedication explains the lack of a subscriber's list. Apparently most of the "generous Encouragers" did not want to have their names included so "no List is printed lest Offence might be given." The author observes: "we are taught only our Mother-Tongue or perhaps French which is now very fashionable and almost as familiar amongst Women of Quality as Men; whereas the other Sex by means of a more extensive Education to the Knowledge of the Roman and Greek Languages have a vaster Field for their Imaginations to rove in and their Capacities thereby enlarged."

1938réf. 426j2818USA: Publisher Unstated. Good No dust jacket as issued. First Edition. Paperback. "I hope and believe that in writing this brief history of the 'New Deal' I am not inspired by any motive other than to render a public service. I hope also that this booklet will not be construed as a criticism or a reflection upon the Jewish religion or the Jewish people as such. There are millions of them who have nothing whatever to do with the designs of their political leaders herein revealed. It is however intended as a frank discussion of the program of these leaders and their ambitious project. If the revelations of this book will not cause the Gentile American to think and investigate nothing more would likely do so. This brief story of the 'Learned Elders of Zion' is intended to supplement the more comprehsive discussion of the Jewish problem as set out in detail in Henry Ford's 'The International Jew' in the light of events that have occurred since their publication." - Preface. Chapters include: The Protocols; The Rothschild Dynasty; League of Nations; Brussels Financial Conference; World Empire; Roosevelt Campaign Fund; Franklin D. Roosevelt; The 'Jew Deal'; Packing the Supreme Court; Federal Reserve System; Delfation of 1920 and 1930; Bonds and Still More Bonds; Treachery; Collapse of the 'Jew Deal'; The Remedy.

1944réf. 214h1991New York: Poland Fights. Fair. 1944. First American Edition. Paperback. "The moving and almost incredible story of Oswiecim Auschwitz concentration camp. Written under the tension of the vibrant poignancy that is an inseparable part of the miseries Poland has endured. Written by a Polish Underground Labor 'historian' experienced in the underground struggle who drew his material from actual contact with persons who underwent and saw others suffer the things that he describes. A compilation of the viciousness of Nazism as seen at Oswiecim so that all who read might understand and make a just evaluation of that which Poland faces of the problem of ridding all Europe of a scourge that gives rise to such things as Oswiecim." - Foreword. 48 page stapled booklet. Includes a one-page facsimile of the cover of the 1942 Polish first edition published underground. Full-page map shows locations of major concentration camps in Poland.

1938réf. 566j1985London: Frederick Muller Ltd. Good with no dust jacket. 1938. First English Edition. Hardcover. "There is no question of the depth or of the luminous quality of the reasoning with which the author combats the deification of the State and demolishes the Hegelian conception of the State as 'an end in itself'. I welcome this book as a contribution of outstanding value to the clarification of thought at a moment of supreme crisis in the political history of the world. Its author believes that against the 'totalitarian State' the ideal and the faith of "totalitarian man' will arise and prevail and that 'the blackest cloud which has overshadowed the history of humanity is beginning to pass away." - Introduction. "The object of this book is to introduce clarity into the confusion of demagogy and lying which to-day so obscures the grave problems of our time that even politicians can only with difficulty recognise the forces and ideas which underlie the events and changes of our day. Further it attempts to indicate to all men of good will a way into a better and clearer future out of the labyrinth of unsolved problems which vex our age." - Preface. "Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi 1894-1972 was a politician and philosopher. A pioneer of European integration he served as the founding president of the Paneuropean Union for 49 years. His Pan-Europeanism earned vivid loathing from Adolf Hitler who excoriated its pacifism and mechanical economism and belittled its founder as 'a bastard.' Nazi criticism and propaganda against Coudenhove-Kalergi and his European worldview would decades later form the basis of the Kalergi Plan conspiracy theory which claims he conceived of a plot to mix and replace white Europeans with other races via immigration." - Wikipedia. 4-196 pp. Translated from the German.

1927réf. 169H4514Garden City New York: Doubleday Page & Company. Good. 1927. First Edition. Hardcover. "There is no man living who from the beginning or in the progress or at the ending of federal reserve legislation was more closely or constantly than I privy to and identified with the consideration and enactment of the law under which the federal reserve banking system was set up. Ever since the enactment of the federal reserve law it has been my intention to write some day a story of the many inside events word of which never reached beyond a closely restricted circle and had no such thing as current newspaper attention. Very likely my desire to tell the dramatic story would have abated if not for the recent publication of the 'Intimate Papers' in which the paternity of the Federal Reserve Act and its particular management are placidly ascribed to Colonel E.M. House." - Introduction. Accordingly Chapter III of this book is devoted to a scathing critique of the veracity of 'The Intimate Papers of Colonel House' first published in 1926. Colonel House was an intimate confidant of Woodrow Wilson President when the Federal Reserve Act was passed. Latter day conspiracy researchers argue House successfully advocated for the interests of the House of Rothschild during the development and passage of the Federal Reserve Act. In response to Glass's book Paul Warburg also instrumental in the founding of the Federal Reserve was "impelled to lay down in black and white my recollections of certain events in the history of banking reform." - Preface to his two-volume work The Federal Reserve System Its Origins and Growth - Reflections and Recollections published in 1930. Commenting on Glass's book James Grant of Interest Rate Observer fame notes "the story of the creation of the Fed by its chief progenitor Carter Glass makes you doubt he would recognize today's Federal Reserve were he brought back to life to inspect it. He explodes in indignation at any who would impugn the proposed Federal Reserve note as mere fiat money. In fact he considered the currency to be as good as gold - or better." Clearly Glass's recollections herein represent a profoundly important chronicle of the origins and founding of the Federal Reserve System.

1903réf. 443j2092London: C.W. Daniel. Fair with no dust jacket. 1903. First British Edition. Hardcover. "It is a deplorable fact and one to which is accountable the continuance of a system which has been a failure many times during the last century that not one person in ten thousand has any really intelligent idea of the science of money - a subject which is usually treated as one of profound mystery and which only a banker is capable of understanding. To one not blinded by custom and prejudice the money question is quite comprehensible. But because of the prevalence of false and contradictory theories students find the subject hopelessly involved in ambiguities and intricacies. It is with the hope that it my evoke a spirit of inquiry leading to a clearer understanding of this most important subject that this work is published." - Preface to the British Edition. First published in the U.S. in 1894. xxvi 231 p. "Arthur Kitson 1859-1937 was a British monetary theorist and inventor. He formed the Economic Freedom League with Frederick Soddy and was active in this venture through the 1920s. He became convinced Jewish bankers were the cause of his bankruptcy and most of the world's miseries. He sent Ezra Pound a copy of The Protocols of the Elders of Zion even before Pound changed from a money radical to a notorious anti-Semite. By the time of his death Arthur Kitson was the second most influential fascist in Britain the first being Oswald Mosley. In his late years he was brought to Germany to consult with Nazi Party economists." - Wikipedia. Binding intact. Prior owner's name inside front board.

1818réf. 99422Liverpool June 16 1818. 1818. Fine. - Original vellum document consisting of 2 attached sheets with scalloped top edges. An indenture 24 inches high by 30 inches wide and the assigns 22 inches high by 30 inches wide as usual folded down to 9 inches by 10-1/2 inches. 84 lines of text handsomely calligraphed over the two sheets. Within the initial "T" is the British emblem encircled by the words: "Honi soit qui mal y pense" a motto of the British chivalric Order of the Garter which translated means "Shamed be whoever thinks ill of it". The document has 2 George III embossed revenue stamps with a metal band one for three pounds and the other for one pound. There are also 2 Royal Cyphers. On the rear fold of the document is a sketch of property showing several divisions including "Embleton Street 12 yards wide Dr Solomons land & Cottage". Upper Stanhope Street "20 yards wide" is on the south and Hayton Street "6 yards wide" is on the north. To the west of Solomon's land is land of Bland and another party. Further to the west is a 12 yard plot of land sold to Rowland Owen and "Release dated 23rd & 24th December 1818". This parcel appears to have the signature of Sefton over its description. Another entry on the indenture dated August 11th & 12th 1820 conveys property to Robert Rawlinson and Thomas Hesketh by the trustees of the will of Samuel Solomon. The conveyance is signed by two of Solomon's sons Abraham an oculist in Birmingham and John an amateur boxer and non-practicing lawyer. It is also signed by Ebenezer Daniell the manager of Solomon's Cordial Balm firm. Further in 1828 there is notice of "59 yards including half of Hayton Street" being conveyed to James Watts of Toxteth Park. It was later conveyed to a M J Hicks in October 1832. Both of these later conveyances are accompanied by minimal sketches. The document is signed by the Earl of Sefton a party of the first part Peter Still and Alexander Strong of Lincoln's Inn parties of the second part Joseph Dawson of Liverpool party of the third part John Henderson of Toxteth party of the fourth part John Clare of Liverpool party of the fifth part. The lessees are described as "Samuel Solomon of Gilead House near Liverpool Doctor of Physic" and his Trustees "John Bird of Liverpool aforesaid Architect" and "Thomas Murrow of Liverpool". In addition to the June 16 indenture there are 3 others: 1 A 15 inch high by 24 inch wide indenture on parchment dated June 15 1818 and titled "The Earl of Sefton to Doctor Solomon & Trustee / Lease for a year". The trustee is identified as John Bird of Liverpool Architect and it is signed by Sefton. 2 A 16 inch high by 23-1/2 inch wide indenture on parchment dated June 15 1818 and titled "The Earl of Sefton to Doctor Solomon & Trustee / Lease for a year". The trustee is identified as John Bird of Liverpool Architect and it is signed by Sefton. 3 A 17 inch high by 23 inch wide indenture on parchment dated August 17 1818 and titled "Peter Brown to Dr. Solomon and Trustee / Lease for a year". The trustee is identified as John Bird of Liverpool Architect and it is signed by Peter Brown. The indentures are folded down to approximately 8-1/4 by 6 inches. Each of these 3 indentures on parchment has a George III embossed revenue stamp of one pound fifteen shillings a royal cypher the stamp of James Walker of Bermondsey parchment dealer and the British emblem within the initial "t" encircled by the words: "Honi soit qui mal y pense". The 3 indentures by the Earl of Sefton are of particular interest for this reason - parliamentary elections were being held from June 17 to July 18 1818 and being an Irish peer Sefton was eligible to run for a seat. Dr. Solomon who by this time had become quite wealthy was the chief organizer of the Earl's campaign. Solomon spared no expense on his behalf in Liverpool which was famous for lively electioneering. It was to no avail as Sefton lost his election to George Canning. It seems quite possible that these leases given their dates within 2 days of the campaign served as a kind of reward for Solomon's future efforts. "Doctor" Samuel Solomon c. 1768 - May 21 1819 was born in Cork and moved to Dublin influenced by his uncle Isaac Solomon who worked as a druggist there. Around 1789 he and his uncle went into business in Liverpool's dockland area. In 1796 he began marketing his "Cordial Balm of Gilead" which he claimed would cure one of ulcers of the lung kidneys and liver sexual dysfunction hypochondria female complaints etc. His claim to have been a Doctor of Medicine is suspect. Solomon became very wealthy from the sales of his expensive tincture made from a mixture of brandy and turpentine flavored with herbs as well as from real estate investments.

"I have felt impelled to devote one more book to the Revolution as a whole by going this time further back into the past and attempting to trace its origins from the first century of the Christian era. For it is only by taking a general survey of the movement that it is possible to understand the causes of any particular phase of its existence. The French Revolution did not arise merely out of conditions or ideas peculiar to the eighteenth century nor the Bolshevist Revolution out of political and social conditions in Russia on the teaching of Karl Marx. Both these explosions were produced by forces which making use of popular suffering and discontent had long been gathering strength for an onslaught not only on Christianity but on all social and moral order." - Preface.

1658réf. ST16442s.l.: s.n. Printed Anno Domini 1658. FIRST EDITION. 190 x 135 mm. 7 1/2 x 5 3/8". 3 p.l. 14 pp. complete. 20th century vellum-backed marbled boards flat spine with vertical titling. Front pastedown with bookplate of the Fox Pointe Collection. Wing P-2842B; ESTC R207754. ◆Text lightly washed and pressed but still crisp faint foxing to lower edge of title page otherwise a fine fresh copy in an unworn binding. Written by an opinionated English cleric this is an extraordinarily rare pamphlet proposing an unusual fund to support young 17th century scholars. According to DNB the scheme outlined in the present work was meant "to support the university studies of young men of promise seeking entry into the ministry." The plan "was approved by John Worthington and Anthony Tuckney and had the support also of John Arrowsmith DD Ralph Cudworth William Dillingham DD and Benjamin Whichcote. The fund raised about £900 and it appears that William Sherlock afterwards dean of St Paul's received assistance from this fund during his studies at Peterhouse Cambridge until 1660 when he graduated BA. Those entrusted with administering the fund sent Poole regular reports on students interviewed and the ratings they had received in philosophy logic and languages. The scheme was abandoned at the Restoration." Poole 1624 - 79 was the author of a number of controversialist pamphlets on subjects ranging from Unitarianism to preaching by lay persons before undertaking his major work: a synthesis of critical biblical commentaries "Synopsis criticorum aliorumque sacrae scripturae interpretum." This is one of his scarcest writings: ESTC lists seven copies two in North America while ABPC and RBH record just two copies at auction. s.n. Printed Anno Domini unknown
