He is informed "that a watch measuring externally 61 millimeters in diameter, with a winding mechanism, repeating at will the hours, quarters, and minutes, anchor escapement, compensating balance, etc., enamel dial, with a small second hand and with a large independent chronographic hand in the center, marking 1/5 of a second, stopping at will and returning to XII, extra strong hunter case and gold cuvette, with raised figure F. L. would cost you 2750 francs (exceptional price considering the position you hold, Mr. Commander, in the press and the services you can render us in this regard)." It would take 6 to 9 months "possibly more to deliver this watch to you. We believe it unnecessary to add that it would be of the finest quality, thoroughly inspected, finally adjusted for pocket wear, tested at high and low temperatures, and accompanied by a certificate of origin and warranty. The variation of 2 to 3 minutes per month that you mentioned to us is very reasonable, and we hope that this piece will run even more accurately".

To his brother Robert, in Swedish, explaining that the delayed response is due to his slavish commitment to duty, thanking for sending photographs of his son Hjalmar, remarking that Hjalmar seems happiest of the Nobels, speculating that happiness is the greatest virtue, wondering whether the telegram got through to him because there was no listing for Åby [village in Norrköping, Sweden], explaining that he could not go to Saint Petersburg due to illness and commitments relating to business in Baku [Azerbaijan], considering discontinuing relationship with Berlin banking firm Disconto-Gesellschaft, and remarking that the largest market for selling the shares would be in Russia.". . . I'm too much of a philosopher to consider anything to be really imposing, but you get into a certain circle of influence and if you have a trace of the twisted quality of duty, you slave until you drop. "Thanks for the photographs of [Robert's son] Hjalmar. The sun has not flattered him: his own appearance is, as I remember it, yet another whole degree . . . more beautiful and graceful. He is also, I think, the only one truly happy among the Nobels, and in my eyes, it is the highest among virtues, even though it often leads to vice . . . .

2 pages, 8vo, "United States Lines" stationery, written on a folded sheet; tiny hole at fold intersection (without loss to text), faint scattered soiling. (SFC) Aboard S.S. American Importer. To Senator from NJ A. Harry Moore, praising the NJ State Police and especially Superintendent Norman Schwarzkopf for their help in 1932 [when Lindbergh's son was kidnapped]. "I believe it will interest you to know how highly we have come to regard the officers and personnel of the New Jersey State Police since you appointed them to assist us in 1932. During this time I have learned to have the utmost confidence and respect for Col. Schwarzkopf and his organization. I feel that their work has always been carried on with great perseverence [sic] and efficiency; and with absolute honesty. "Certainly there is nothing more essential to good government than an honest and intelligent police force. I believe that the New Jersey State Police are deserving of the fullest support and cooperation; and that it is essential to the welfare of every community that they receive such support." On May 12, 1932, the lifeless body of Charles and Anne Lindbergh's infant son was found after having been abducted from home 11 days earlier and after a ransom payment had been made. Although the NJ State Police were the first on the scene, the FBI began coordinating the investigation on the following day. By tracing the ransom money, Richard Hauptmann was captured, tried in what was dubbed at the time as the "Trial of the Century," and executed for the murder.Photograph Signed and Inscribed, “To Brian Knight / Alexander Fleming / 1949,”.

[Bound with 15 additional rare pamphlets].
8vo (149 × 222 mm). VI, (2), 191, (1) pp. With 2 marginal marks and 4 manuscript corrections in Marx's distinctive hand written in black ink, very slightly cropped when bound into the volume. Near contemporary half-cloth binding (pebble grained cloth and marbled boards, spine ruled in blind and lettered "Ecrits divers" in gilt). Stored in custom-made red half morocco solander case. First edition of Marx's longest polemical work, which he took the best part of a year away from the writing of "Das Kapital" to complete, this copy containing the author's autograph corrections. Levelled at the polical writer and democrat of 1848, Karl Vogt (1817-95), the book is an answer to the slanders against himself, Engels and their supporters which had appeared in Vogt's 1859 pamphlet, "Mein Prozess gegen die Allgemeine Zeitung". A former member of the German pre-parliament, Vogt had become professor of geology in Geneva in 1852. When in June 1859 the "Augsburger Allgemeine Zeitung" circulated the rumour that he was a paid agent of Napoleon III, Vogt suspected, not without justification, that Marx's circle was behind the report. In fact, only in May had the Baden revolutionary and refugee Karl Blind privately revealed to Marx his knowledge of Vogt's entanglements (as here recounted on p. 58), and since Marx took no pains to be discreet about the matter, the story had quickly found its way into print; the feature in the Allgemeine Zeitung to which Vogt objected had merely reprinted an anonymous leaflet authored by Blind himself. Vogt sued the paper for libel, and the suit was tried at the Augsburg district court on 24 October 1859. No proof of the accusation was produced (against Marx's hopes, Blind - who had been called as a witness - denied all knowledge of the matter), and the charge was ultimately dismissed on technical grounds. Vogt exploited his moral victory by publishing the shorthand report of the court proceedings, bolstered with copious documents, so as to expose the communists as traitors and conspirators. Although Marx was already weary of the affair, he picked up the gauntlet: in this rebuttal of nearly two hundred pages, he answered "Vogt line for line and charge for charge [.] Marx spares neither wit nor invective in demolishing his opponent" (R. A. Archer, in the preface to his 1982 English translation). A fine example of Marx's talent for merciless satire as well as of his often prolix attention to detail, the book had little or no public effect: even when in 1871 the Paris Commune raided the government archives and produced proof that Vogt indeed had been in the pay of the Bonapartists, Marx's vindication escaped general notice. "An important historical document, and a classic example of irreconcilable political controversy" (cf. Sauer & Auvermann V, 2340). - In the present copy, Marx has made reading marks to pages 59 and 60, highlighting the name of Andreas Scherzer, an exiled radical journalist and protagonist of the London-based "German Workers' Educational Association". He further makes two corrections to the date events took place, one on page 155 (correcting "März" to "September"), the other on page 160 (changing "24" to "20"), and further corrects two errors on page 188 ("en exchange" to "en echange" and "du vieux hermite" to "le vieux hermite"). Bound with this famously overlong polemic, clearly once in the personal possession of Marx, are 15 additional brochures and pamphlets. They would appear to have been assembled by a German radical democrat in English exile; indeed, several of them were written by Karl Blind or reflect his known interests and associations, making it plausible that the present volume was made up for him. - Front joint weakened, corners worn, inner joints cracked but cords very firm; front free endpaper a little chipped along fore edge; final leaf of text with small portion torn away and repaired, affecting the last seven lines of text on the recto, with loss of approximately 30 letters (the missing text supplied in photocopy, errata on verso unaffected). Some light soiling, but generally very good. - Marx-Engels Erstdrucke 26. Stammhammer I, 145, 22. Draper ST/M 51. Rubel 567. Sprache: deDer Congreß an den Bund.
8vo. 8 pp. Disbound; Japanese paper spine. Stored in custom-made red half morocco solander case. The only known copy of this founding document of communism, the final stepping stone towards the Communist Manifesto. The eight-page leaflet is a circular addressed to the "Bund der Kommunisten" ("Communist League") by the participants of its second and final congress. The League, a revolutionary, socialist secret society, had been formed but a few months previously as a successor to the "Bund der Gerechten" (the "League of the Just"). The pioneering new name was adopted under the guidance of its new members Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels at the Leagues first congress, held in London from June 2 through 9, 1847. Their ideas re-framed the League as an international organization with a coherent programme. Although the League would be formally disbanded in 1852, it is considered the precursor of the International Workingmens Association, the first Marxist political party, and the nucleus of all later communist parties. - The Leagues second congress was held in Brussels from November 29 to December 8, half a year after the first. On both occasions the respective accounts were published under the heading "Der Congreß an den Bund": the former on June 9 and the present, latter one on December 15 ("1848" being a misprint for 1847). No copies of either of these two publications are recorded in library catalogues or in the usual bibliographical reference works. Only one or two copies of the circular of the First Congress are known: one in the estate of the Hamburg socialist and "Bund" member Joachim Friedrich Martens (SUB Hamburg, acquired in 1912); the other, apparently, in the Stiftung Archiv der Parteien und Massenorganisationen der DDR im Bundesarchiv (formerly in the Institut für Marxismus-Leninismus beim Zentralkomitee der SED, but not currently listed in the SAPMOs catalogues). While this first circular was republished in 1969 (in Bert Andréass collection "Gründungsdokumente des Bundes der Kommunisten"), the present circular of the Second Congress has so far remained unknown to scholarship. As the Bund was still a secret society, the first circular was pseudonymously signed "Heide (Sekretär)" and "Karl Schill (Präsident)", standing for Wilhelm Wolff and Karl Schapper, respectively. While the name of Schapper, the president, is given undisguised in the present second circular, it may therefore be more than a simple typographical error that the secretarys name is here rendered as "J. Engels". - In his article "On the History of the Communist League", written and published in 1885, nearly four decades after the event, Engels provides what has become the received version of the genesis of the Communist Manifesto: "[at the Second Congress Marx] expounded the new theory in a fairly long debate [.] All contradiction and doubt were finally set at rest, the new basic principles were unanimously adopted, and Marx and I were commissioned to draw up the Manifesto". It is reasonable that Engelss account should be a retrospective condensation of a more complicated process, albeit one of which few contemporary documents have survived. Interestingly, the use of the term "Manifest der kommunistischen Partei" is not entirely consistent throughout the circular: it is stated that a work so titled, which was to replace the "Communist Creed" passed at the First Congress, had already been compiled, drafted, translated into various languages, and even enacted (p. 1 f.), but had yet to be published. Also, it was decided at the Congress that such a "Manifesto" should appear annually in various languages (p. 7). The "Manifesto" of 1847 is said to have been drafted by taking into account all suggestions submitted by members of the League (p. 7); it is also said already to have given the Communist movement its proper expression (p. 2). The present circular as here published is referred to as the "organ of the League in its new appearance" (p. 8), and the forthcoming issue thereof is promised to contain the text of the Manifesto, which all subscribers are asked to disseminate as widely as possible, as it is to embody a brief summary of the Partys position and will serve as a guideline to the Partys propaganda, proving to the world that the communists are aware of their own position, as of those of all other proletarian parties (p. 8). - These passages shed new light on the development of the famous text, fleshing out Engelss compressed narrative. And yet his account remains fundamentally accurate: at the Second Congress Marx took on the assignment to develop the Communist Manifesto into a publishable text, working from whatever sources or previous drafts he may have had, and together with Engels completed the task within several weeks. This December 15 publication, giving the final account of the plans and decisions of the League before the publication of the "Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei" two months later, just in time for the February Revolution of 1848, must be regarded as a founding document of Communism, recording the very moment when the great motor of the Manifesto was ignited. - It is very likely that this circular, the only known specimen in the world, was originally in the collection of a revolutionary who was - at least for a time - close to Marx: previously bound up with a collection of pamphlets apparently assembled by a German radical democrat in English exile (arguably Karl Blind, 1826-1907), including a first edition of "Herr Vogt" with Marxs autograph corrections, it was removed from this volume for conservational reasons and is now stored within an acid-free portfolio. - Not in Rubel, Stammhammer, Erstdrucke Marx Engels etc. No copies recorded in OCLC or KVK. Not in the 700-page catalogue of the books owned by Marx and Engels published in MEGA. Sprache: deEigenh. Gedicht m. eigenh. Zeichnung und Unterschrift.

Buck, Pearl S[ydenstricker], American novelist, Nobel Prize Winner (1892-1973). Folio. 2 pp. Printed letterhead. To the famous radio presenter Mary Margaret MacBride (1899-1976): I promised you Id write you about the meeting for the Open Door and how it turned out [ ] When we started the Open Door last Spring, we thought in terms of individual cases primarily - that Open Door would be a place where anybody could go and get help, if he was suffering from discrimination [ ] But the individual cases were slow to come, and yet we know that there must be such cases. We investigated and found that colored people especially - the Open Door exists for all kinds of discrimination - felt it was hopeless to complain individually, that great groups were organized against them, and so complaints came in from organizations [ ] The rabbis were especially fine. One of the rabbis said we should not wait for cases to come to us, but must go out and find out where discrimination is going on and get to work on it [ ] Id like to ask if you would let Ruth Smith, the grand girl at the head of the Open Door, come and meet you and feel your interest [ ]" - Today, Pearl Buck is known for her efforts at welcome House and her career as a bestselling author. But her fight for equal rights is an important example we can all learn from - when Pearl Buck spoke out about injustice at the height of her international popularity.- $2,773

Er widmete sich vorwiegend Kompositionen, die seiner Meinung nach besser sind, als man sie aufführen kann". Dabei spielte er nahezu ausschließlich das alte klassische Repertoire. Arnold Schönberg meinte dazu in einem Brief an Carl Engel: Sein Standpunkt scheint mir nicht nur albern, sondern fast verbrecherisch. Ich meine, es ist die erste Pflicht eines wirklichen Künstlers, zeitgenössische Musik zu spielen. Hätten sich alle Interpreten benommen wie er, so hätten die Werke der größten Meister noch immer nicht das Ohr des Publikums." Schnabels Schwerpunkt lag auf den Werken von Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Schumann und Mozart, die er zum Teil auch edierte. In den 1920er Jahren spielte er den gesamten Zyklus der Beethoven-Sonaten. Er gilt zudem als Entdecker der damals noch unterschätzten Klaviersonaten Schuberts. Kein Komponist, so Schnabel, sei näher an Gott als eben Schubert".- $133
