Narrow 8vo 234 x 105 mm. orig. semi-stiff blue boards some rubbing & wear silver endpapers with floral patterns orig. gilt paper labels on upper covers with manuscript titles several are missing. Japan: dated “August 1660” at end of each volume. An unusually large group of manuscripts collectively known as the “Inatomi ryū hÅjutsu hidensho” 稲富æµç ²è¡“秘ä¼æ›¸ “Secret Information Passed Down of the Inatomi School of Gunnery & Marksmanship.” At the end of all the volumes the “lineage” of this secret information is provided starting with Ichimu Inatomi 稲富一夢 1551-1611 who founded the Inatomi school of gunnery. We have never had such a large group of related manuscripts concerning the Inatomi school. European matchlock muskets hinawaju ç«ç¸„銃” were introduced to the island of Tanegashima Japan in 1543 by Portuguese traders. The Inatomi school of gun manufacturing and gunnery founded in the latter part of that century was also one of the leading marksmanship schools in early Japan employing hinawaju.

As mentioned above the first six manuscripts are beautifully illustrated in rich colors depicting Inatomi muskets methods of handling and aiming the musket and techniques of marksmanship. The first volume provides close-up illustrations of the muskets and methods of hitting bull’s-eyes. The next volume depicts 32 positions of musketeers in a series of 16 scenes; the classic considerations of marksmanship are shown: stance grip aim breath control trigger control and follow-through. The musketeers are finely rendered in black ink and heightened with flesh-colored wash. The muskets are painted in brown gold and silver pigments and rest on richly colored cushion mounts. The musketeers are all depicted nearly naked but wearing the most gorgeous loincloths made of richly colored fabrics including gold and silver in order to reveal correct body positioning. Each scene is well-annotated discussing the six fundamentals of accurate shooting. Included are measurements comments regarding whether the musketeer is short or tall how to hold the gun and squeeze the trigger which part of the body should be tense or relaxed how to place the barrel on a rest or foot to increase accuracy etc. Matters of shooting uphill or downhill are considered. The third volume is concerned with methods of judging accuracy a large target is shown and the fourth with coordinating eyesight trigger-finger control and accuracy. Eyes and fingers are depicted and well-annotated. The fifth volume depicts bullets of various calibers and weights. Vol. Six discusses problems of accuracy related to weather conditions throughout the year. Accuracy charts are given. The remaining five volumes are unillustrated. The seventh gives secret and precious family recipes for various kinds of gunpowder. The remaining volumes discuss technical and psychological matters to increase accuracy.

Yearbook for the private Catholic high school in Washington DC the oldest boys’ school in the District.

Litteri a local Italian grocery store that remains open today. Though Washington DC was designated as a city in 1790 Congress did not hold session in the Capitol building until 1800. Thus 1950 marked the city’s sesquicentennial year as the seat of American government. This Gonzaga yearbook celebrates the growth of Catholic education in the District during that period featuring brief write-ups on Georgetown University Catholic University St. John’s College High School Trinity College and Archbishop Carroll High School which opened its doors the following year. “From a struggling little school in a struggling little city our Gonzaga has matured to its present position as the largest Catholic high school in the Nation’s Capitol” writes Father Gargan President.

CHDS provides the first homeland security master's degree in the United States. Russia can no longer be considered a world superpower but it remains a great power in terms of strategic global security. Russia's importance is based on its nuclear arsenal and permanent seat on the United Nations Security Council. This research analyzed arms control and ballistic missile defense BMD in order to explain the success and failure of cooperation between the United States and the Russian Federation. Utilizing international relations theory realist and constructivist frameworks were applied to two separate case studies: U.S.-Soviet cooperation on the Intermediate Nuclear Forces Treaty and U.S.-Russian failure to cooperate on BMD. Each case was started with material factors that opened the opportunity for the Soviet and Russian Federation elite to be responsive to new ideas. The elite then turned to the state's intellectual entrepreneurs to find new ideas. In the case of the Soviet era the elite chose to cooperate due to the influence of the international organizations they were associated with. In the present day the elite many of whom have a background in the Soviet and Russian Federation secret service have chosen to defect from cooperation due to the socialization received during their time as KGB or FSB officers.
