Engraved title-vignette incorporating portrait of the architect by Grignion after Hayman, 17 engraved plates numbered 1-21, 4 double-page. Folio, modern 3/4 calf over boards. London: For the Author, 1751. Paine was appointed Clerk of Works at Nostell Priory, Yorkshire, in 1737 when he was only nineteen years old and he continued to supervise the building there until 1750, but Doncaster Mansion House was his first major project, from 1745-48. In 1745 Doncaster Corporation appointed him to design a Mansion House to be used for 'civic hospitality and celebrations'. Paine chose, as his inspiration for the facade of the building, Inigo Jones's unexecuted design for a Royal Palace at Whitehall for King James I 'A facade fit for a king'. At the age of 27, Paine's career was launched and over the next 40 years he established himself as one of the great architects of the Palladian Revival and an early exponent of rococo interior decoration in the mid 18th century. In the event, only the central section of Paine's design was constructed as the Corporation did not acquire the adjacent properties until the turn of the century.

"MONTGOMERY, Lucy Maud. Anne of Green Gables. Boston: L.C. Page, 1908. Octavo, original gilt-stamped chocolate brown cloth, mounted cover illustration, uncut. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. $27,000.First edition, first issue, of Montgomery's first novel, illustrated with eight plates by M.A. and W.A.J. Claus.The story of the red-haired orphan Anne Shirley and the elderly brother and sister who adopt her "is the most popular and enduring of a host of girls' stories published in the United States and Canada in the first years of the 20th century" (Carpenter & Pritchard, 25-26). "Montgomery began writing about Anne as a serial for a Sunday school periodical in the spring of 1904. The character became so real that she eventually decided to develop the idea into a full novel. Much as would later with readers, Anne took hold of her creator, developing into a feisty, imaginative little being who demanded to be noticed and loved" (Keeline, 41). The novel was completed in 1905, but was rejected by four major American publishing houses, and it was not until 1907 that Montgomery found a publisher. The best seller that would make the remote Canadian province of Prince Edward Island known around the globe was not to be published in Montgomery's native Canada until 1942, the year Montgomery died. Lucy Maud Montgomery's "mother died when she was two, and she was sent to live with her maternal grandparents in their farmhouse. In character she seems to have much resembled her heroine Anne. She became a teacher, but gave it up to look after her widowed grandmother" (Carpenter & Pritchard, 356). "By age 21 she was earning her living in the thriving periodical market of turn-of-the-century North America. International acclaim came in 1908 with the publication of her first novel, Anne of Green Gables, which instantly becameand remainsa best seller there is energy of another type that animates Montgomery's books, which retain a strong hold on adult readers. It is the energy of social critique, and it operates just below the surface of many of her novels. Anne and Emily, her two best-known and best-developed heroines, may fulfill their womanly duty by marrying the saccharine-sweet boy next door, but not before each voices loud and angry criticisms of the way in which girls, orphans, and other disempowered members of society are ignored and trivialized" (Silvey, 465-66). First issue, dated "April, 1908" on the copyright page, in a variant chocolate brown cloth binding; most copies are found in pale green or buff cloth (L.M. Montgomery Institute).

Folio. (4) pp. Unbound as issued, text in Hebrew, in near perfect condition. Very rare first edition first issue of the Israeli Declaration of Independence printed on the first day of the birth of Israel. This was the first publication rescinding the British White Paper. With the names of all of the signatories, headed by David Ben-Gurion, this document heralded the end of British involvement in Palestine, and the start of unrestricted immigration into the new Jewish state. It publishes for the very first time the full declaration as read out by Ben-Gurion at 4pm on Friday 14 May 1948 in the Tel-Aviv Museum. It announced that the National Council was to become the Provisional Government of Israel until a Constituent Assembly was formed on 1 October 1948. Iton Rishmi records all the decrees, ordinances and notices of the Israeli government, as well as the appointments of all government officials. Scarce first printing of the Israeli Declaration of Independence, the seminal historical document that establishes the first Jewish State in 2000 years. Contained in the first issue of the Official Gazette of the Israeli provisional government, this landmark publication was printed on the first day of the birth of Israel. Formally entitled the Declaration of the Establishment of the State of Israel, the Israeli Declaration of Independence was proclaimed on May 14 1948, by David Ben-Gurion, the executive head of the World Zionist Organization, chairman of the Jewish Agency for Palestine, and, shortly after, the first Prime minister of Israel. It declared the establishment of a Jewish state in Eretz-Israel, to be known as the State of Israel. "The Land of Israel was the birthplace of the Jewish people. Here, their spiritual, religious, and national identity was formed. Here, they achieved independence and created a culture of national and universal significance. Here, they wrote and gave the Bible to the world. Exiled from Palestine, the Jewish people remained faithful to it in all the countries of their dispersion, never ceasing to pray and hope for their return and the restoration of their national freedom." Immediately following the British army withdrawal earlier on May 14, war broke out between Jews and Arabs. Egypt launched an air assault against Israel that same evening. Despite a blackout in Tel Aviv-and the expected Arab invasion-Jews celebrated the birth of their new nation, especially after word was received that the United States had recognized the Jewish state. At midnight, the State of Israel officially came into being upon termination of the British mandate in Palestine. "Using the American Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution as philosophical frameworks, a small group of attorneys and politicians pieced together Israel's Declaration of Independence. On Friday, May 14, the National Council, established to oversee the political needs of the Jewish community in Palestine, voted to accept the final text of the Declaration. That afternoon at 4 pm, David Ben-Gurion, head of the National Council, read the Declaration at the Tel Aviv Museum. The Declaration was divided into four parts: 1) a biblical, historical, and international legal case for the existence of a Jewish state in the Land of Israel" 2) the self-evident right of the Jewish people to claim statehood 3) the actual declaration of statehood" and 4) statements about how the state would operate, including an enumeration of citizen rights. Very rare and sought-after first edition first issue of this seminal historical document that establishes the birth of the Jewish State. Very rare and sought-after.

Do 11 de Setembro à crise do Iraque. Colecção Ensaios e Documentos.
8°, original illustrated wrappers. As new. 109 pp. *** FIRST EDITION; this book went through 5 editions between December of 2002 and 2003. Full of offensive, idiotic, and simplistic comparisons and analysis in the guise of being "pro-American but anti-Bush," this is nevertheless an important document, as it illustrates the thinking of one of the founders of a major Portuguese political party, a former Foreign Minister (1980), interim Prime Minister (1980-1981), deputy Prime Minister (1981-1983), Minister of Defense (1981-1983), still a heavyweight in Portuguese political and intellectual life, who was President of the United Nations General Assembly (1995-1996). Freitas do Amaral compares conservative Republicans in the U.S.A. to Italian fascists and German Nazis of the period 1920-1945. He says that they wish to control and dominate the world, spreading the "American way of life," just as Hitler did, with his "Deutschland über alles!" He claims the refusal to grant captured Taliban and Al-Qaeda the status of prisoners of war is equivalent to Hitler's ordering the killing in gas chambers of Jews, gypsies, Poles, homosexuals, and the mentally deficient. There is much more along these lines, including ridiculous comparisons of President George W. Bush to Salazar and Franco. Published December 2002, the original edition went out-of-print the first week in January, 2003. *** Voyages and Travels, into Brasil, and the East-Indies: Containing an Exact Description of the Dutch Brasil, and divers Parts of the East-Indies; Their Provinces, Cities, Living Creatures, and Products: The Manners, Customs, Habits, Religion of the Inhabitants; with a most particular Accunt of all the remarkable Passages that Happened during the Author’s Stay of Nine Years in Brasil

The Mental Capacity of the American Negro.
Pamphlet, 8vo, original wrappers, Illustrated with tables and charts, 71pp. First separate printing. Some edge tears and chipping, a couple of edge pieces missing, not affecting text, normal aging; good overall. First appeared in Archives of Psychology, No. 28. Marion J. Mayo (1871-1948) was an educator with multiple degrees who taught in New York before heading West to tech at a college level in St. Louis. At the time it appeared, Mayo's study was almost entirely ignored, with the notable exception of a critical review by W.E.B. DuBois. Nevertheless, Mayo's long-forgotten thesis, submitted for a doctorate in Philosophy at Columbia University, is generally cited in comprehensive bibliographies as the earliest relevant work. DuBois' scathing review criticized Mayo's methodology of reaching broad conclusions on the basis of a small sample of students (school records of 150 Black students in New York high schools) but he was primarily perturbed by those conclusions âÂÂ" that "as regard the mental heredity of the Negro and white races as represented in our Northern states, the average mental ability of the white race, so far as this ability is exercised in school studies, is higher, but not a great deal higher, than that of the colored race". DuBois was also disturbed by Mayo's premise that the underlying racial distinction was not due to opportunity but rather heredity. Calling this a "monstrous" conclusion, DuBois goes on to enumerate in detail all the ways in which Black children had been deprived by opportunity from overwhelming racial discrimination. Interestingly, while I didn't do a close analysis of Mayo's material, and yes, whites clearly come off better in Mayo's study, some of the differences don't appear that significant, especially when you consider the historical context when this study was taken. This study preceded by eight years Robert Yerkes' famous study of race differences in mental tests of American soldiers during World War I. Work 574 & 625.

Fascinating book by a magician who worked with Alexander Hermann and Prof. Kellar. Robinson had been raised as a spiritualist but no longer acknowledged the truth of its teachings. He was not hostile to spiritualism or those who believed in it, but was determined to expose those who would defraud believers seeking knowledge of deceased loved ones. His background in stage magic made him an ideal debunker of clever tricks. Bound in maroon cloth over boards with spine and upper board titled in gilt, illustration to upper board in black.

Spine richly gilt in floral geometric pattern and bands raised, edges sprinkled red. The second edition of theologian and Protestant reformer John Calvin's (1509-1564) commentary on the gospels and acts of the apostles. He began his career as lay administrator to a local bishop, before pursuing a career in law, studying at Orleans and Bourges. Here, he was introduced to the doctrine of humanism, with particular influence from Erasmus and Jacques Lefevre d'Etaples, which promoted the restructuring of the church and society based on classical and Christian antiquity. It also encouraged the study of the Bible in Greek, Hebrew and Latin. Calvin's work hugely influenced Protestantism in Europe and North America, leading to the creation of multiple Calvinist churches, particularly in the USA; he is 'the most perseveringly followed by his disciples of any Western writer on theology', his other work on the 'Institutes of the Christian religion' becoming a handbook of Protestant belief. Calvin produced a number of in-depth biblical commentaries, covering most of the Old and almost the entire New Testament, except for the Revelation to John. In this edition, he addresses the gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke in tandem, but dedicates entire commentaries to John and the Acts of the Apostles. Lines of Scripture are quoted in chunks, in a larger font, followed by references and detailed comments on various phrases in each text. These include explanations, clarifications, and personal opinions with the aim of identifying examples of Harmony within the passages. 'His manner is classical; he reasons on system, he has little humour; instead of striking with a cudgel he uses the weapon of a deadly logic and persuades by a teacher's authority, not by a demagogue's calling of names.'
