Hjalmar Schacht 1877-1970 was "the man upon whom fell the brunt of piloting Germany through the financial dangers of 1923 to 1929. It was the historic German financial collapse of 1923 that first brought Dr. Schacht into prominence. In November of that year he was made the Imperial Currency Commissioner with the specific purpose of stemming the nation's hyperinflation. This book is one of the best contributions yet made to an understanding of post-War difficulties in finance and economics. In particular Chapter XIII on The Socialist 'System' contains a warning for Great Britain which can hardly fail to make a profound impression." - Introduction of the first British Edition.

Carman D.D. This original Progressive Era dental/medical manuscript documenting the three years of courses lectures and quizzes at the New Orleans College of Dentistry together with Dr. Carman’s visual aid Fletcherism National Mouth Hygiene Association glass plate slide lecture course provide an historically essential group documenting the advances in dentistry dental surgery and oral hygiene in the first 15 years of the 20th- Century. The New Orleans College of Dentistry was founded in 1899 by Drs. Andrew Friedrichs 1857-1921 pioneering oral surgeon and dental specialist; Dr. Louis D. Archinard 1869-1911 an excellent New Orleans dentist focused on offering medical care to the indigent and poor in New Orleans and his brother Dr. John J. Archinard 1870-1909 physician and oral surgeon who was a Spanish-American War veteran. By 1903 the New Orelans College of Dentistry had purchased and outfitted their first building at 831 Carondelet Street where they would operate until a 1908 fire gutted the building forcing the New Orleans College to affiliate and move to Tulane University. Carman 1886-1948 had studied in Houston TX and entered the New Orleans College of Dentistry in 1905 intending to study and learn the latest advances in the field of dentistry. The opening decade of the 20th-Century oversaw tremendous advances including the adapting of electric motorized drills for dentists X-Ray machines for patients awareness of the dangers of bacteria and bacteriological infections new methods of anesthesia for extraction and the revolutionary use of Vulcanized Rubber as base for artificial dentures. The “Index” or contents by Carman detail his divisions and lecture courses into Prosthetic Dentistry including extensive details on Vulcanization Vulcanizing Rubber preparing and constructing bridges and more; Pathology taught by Archinard with emphasis on hereditary diseases descriptions of inflammation assorted diseases necrosis and suppuration; followed by Anatomy - featuring anatomical manikin and original drawings by Carman; as well as Materia Medica Operative Dentistry Physiology Histology by Dr. J.J. Archinard “The Man that Cleaned up Havana Cuba 1898” chemistry metallurgy bacteriology clinical dentistry operative dentistry continued and more. He also includes the dittoed notes on histology with dittoed sections on tooth enamel nervous system tissues retina and crystalline lens and the preparation of tissues for examination with a microscope. Also included in the courses were embryology dental pathology and more. Carman has incorporated the very first test questions as well as printed examples of medical board questionnaires of States from Ohio to Oregon California and the rest of the West. Upon graduation Carman moved to Salt Lake City where he married Nina Richardson 1890-1965 daughter of the first physician in Salt Lake City and operated a successful practice for nearly 40 years out of the “Judge Building” in SLC up to his death of a heart attack in Los Angeles while on vacation. The Tulane School of Dentistry over seen by Dr. Friedrichs operated at Tulane until June 1928 emphasizing oral hygiene and continuing the original mission of providing care to the poor. Unfortunately it always teetered on the brink of financial ruin and closed in 1928. Horace Fletcher 1849-1919 was known during the Victorian and Progressive Eras as “The Great Masticator” and was a well known and influential food and health quackery specialist and author self-promoter and fanatic on his doctrine of “Fletcherism” which believed that all food had to be deliberately masticated and chewed until it turned to liquid. These glass plate slides emphasize and promote his four main advisories on chewing and swallowing but also the results of examining school children’s teeth in Andover MA indicating that nearly 60% of the children had poor or rotting teeth. Slides show the teeth of young children X-Rays of the skulls abscesses proper brushing and care of teeth with two specifically showing entire classrooms properly brushing their teeth.

1833réf. 46404463Paris, Le Magasin Pittoresque, 1833-1882 ; 50 volumes in-4, demi-basane brune, dos lisses ornés, titre et année en lettre dor. au dos, filets dorés, tranches jaspées. (Reliures de l’époque). RARISSIME COLLECTION COMPLÈTE DE LA PREMIÈRE SÉRIE EN RELIURES UNIFORMES. Edouard Charton (Sens 1807 - Versailles 1890) a commencé sa carrière de publiciste dans les revues saint-simoniennes Le Globe et Le Journal de la doctrine de Saint-Simon. Il rompt avec les Saint-Simoniens en 1831 et fonde Le Magasin Pittoresque en 1833 avec l’imprimeur saint-simonien Lachevardière sur le modèle du Penny magazine anglais. D’abord hebdomadaire, la revue devient mensuelle en 1850 puis bi-mensuelle. Le premier numéro annonce le projet : “Le Magasin pittoresque, revue illustrée bon marché, a pour ambition d’intéresser et d’instruire, tout en les distrayant, ceux qui n’ont ni les moyens financiers ni les loisirs de le faire”. Les articles sont confiés aux plus grands spécialistes, chaque livraison aborde les différents domaines du savoir : Beaux-Arts, sciences et techniques, géographie, archéologie, etc. Charton assumait seul le contenu de la revue, corrigeant chaque article avant publication. Dans cette première série aucun article n’est signé mais les collaborateurs sont connus : Darondeau, Reynaud, Souvestre, Carnot, Cazeaux, Charton, Fortoul, Aicard, V. de Joncières, Pauline Roland, R. Töpffer, Transon, Alby, Urbain, Alexandre de Saint-Chéron, Morville ou encore George Sand, Camille Flammarion ou Eugène Delacroix. Le succès de cette revue fut considérable dès les premiers numéros et suscita de nombreuses vocations, ainsi l’égyptologue François Joseph Chabas (1817-1882), un négociant en vins à Châlons-sur-Saône qui découvre l’égyptologie en 1852 dans le Pittoresque, grâce aux articles de Nestor Lhôte. Sand, Balzac ou encore Zola revendiquent cette revue didactique comme source importante de leur œuvre.Mais c’est en tant que revue illustrée que Le Magasin Pittoresque demeure inégalée, Charton considérait qu’une illustration abondante et de qualité était essentielle à son projet d’éducation populaire. Pour donner une si nombreuse illustration en maintenant un prix modique, Charton fit appel à la gravure sur bois qui avait presque disparu en France à cette époque. Les graveurs français ne pouvant fournir tant de planches à une revue hebdomadaire, il fit appel pour les premiers numéros à des graveurs anglais. Par la suite, grâce au succès de la revue, les ateliers parisiens revinrent à ce genre délaissé. Parmi les illustrateurs Grandville a donné de nombreux dessins (voir à ce sujet Renonciat Grandville p. 295) ou encore G. Doré (v. H. Leblanc Catal. de l'Oeuvre de G. Doré. p. 227)Le Magasin Pittoresque a occupé l’essentiel de la vie d’Edouard Charton. Bien que sa revue n’ait jamais abordé les questions politiques il était un Républicain fervent et fut élu dans l’Yonne à deux reprises en 1848 et 1871. Il fut aussi l’un des fondateurs de la revue d’actualité l’Illustration en 1842.Rare collection complète de cette première série en reliure uniforme de l’époque. Bel exemplaire frais, les reliures sont en bon état.

In a custom-made folding buckram box with book wells for the three books and gilt-stamped marbled paper label inset on spine of the box. Consisting of three bound sets of 50 sequential photographs that when flipped either from back to front or front to back generate a stop motion animation of Bobby Jones demonstrating the proper form for executing a shot with various golf clubs see below. Advertisements on inside wrappers. Donovan & Murdoch 22610. One volume with portions of spine gone at either end with partial loss of imprint wrappers inevitably somewhat soiled corners a bit rounded as expected but still remarkably well preserved especially considering its inevitable hard use being entirely sound and with the photographs in excellent condition. This is a scarce grouping of some of the most charming sports as well as miniature books we've ever offered for sale. In the 1930s the famous London department store Harrods published a series of so-called sports "flicker" books of which these three are perhaps the most famous other sports books involved cricket tennis lacrosse soccer badminton swimming and greyhound racing. Our three "flicker" books when the pages are riffled with one's thumb or fingers show the famous smooth-swinging American golfer Bobby Jones executing shots with various clubs. The first book #11a in the Harrods series features the driver and the mashie. The modern equivalent for this latter piece of equipment is slightly elusive but the "mashie" is an iron club with considerable loft meant to hit a golf ball a relatively short distance with a high trajectory Jones' "driver" has the same meaning today as it did 90 years ago. The second book features shots with a "brassie" roughly equivalent to today's 3- or 4-wood and an "iron" also called a "driving iron" which is like today's 1- or 2-iron. The third book shows Jones putting and escaping from heavy rough with a high-lofted club like today's sand wedge. It is great fun--not to mention still instructive--to riffle through these photographs watching one of the world's most celebrated golf swings come to life complete with Jones' knickers white shirt and flapping tie. It is also a fact of some interest that this English series would feature an American player at a time when British dominance in golf was beginning to erode. Given the physical use to which these items have been subjected it is difficult to believe that they are still intact let alone that they are solid enough to be handled without worry.

The work also known as five books on the art of politics and administration consists of five books on politics and administration each of which is called tantra (the case, right way by which man uses his intelligence). The book was written in Sanskrit language, and it aims to teach wisdom to rulers by means of animal fables. The work was translated into Turkish in the 14th century for the first time. Nasrallah's Persian translation constituted the source text for the translation by Kul Mesut. Kalila and Dimna, titled as Humâyûn-nâme, was presented to the Ottoman Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent and Abdulhamid II. It is understood that the work was presented to sultans during the Ottoman's earliest days. Baydaba's masterpiece 'Kalila and Dimna' also was an important narrative used for education of masses. This Indian-origin work was a common work used in the education of the masses in both Iranian and Turkish literatures. This Edition is the First Printed Edition in the Turkish / Ottoman world printed in Bulaq Printinghouse. Özege 8084.

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."
