Description:
Small Octavo. Latin manuscript is written in poetic style by C.P.F. Kurrer who was a distinguished member of the famed Latin Society of Jena. 89p. OCLC notes that a 16-page edition was published in Tubingen by Fues in 1786. This much larger version of several thousand lines is entirely handwritten in Latin poetic style. As William Clark as noted in his Charismata and the Origin of Research Universities, p. 158ff., "The Latin Society of Jena (founded 1733) ..required members to submit written dissertations exhibiting eloquence and erudition." This was, of course, in contrast to the universities which like their English counterparts were still under the domain of the Aristotelian dominance through the Middle Ages and into the Early Modern period. These highly literate societies which existed outside the university system of rote memory became (as Clark noted) the predecessor of the modern university system with seminars and original research. The Societas Latina Jenensis according to the Scholarly…

[Welles & Gillette] Broadside. Certificate of Record for the family of Stephen H. Thayer from The Doomsday Book of the State of New York. Founded 1860. Entered According to an Act of Congress, in the Year 1860, by Albert Welles, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the Southern District of New York. Welles & Gillette, No. 20 Cooper Institute, New York. Lithography by George Hayward, 171 Pearl Street, New York. This is a rare surviving full-page Certificate of Record (23 in x 17 ¾ in) from The Doomsday Book of the State of New York for the family of Stephen H. Thayer, signed by him December 24, 1860, official seal still attached, Volume I, No. 51. The Certificate also bears the counter signature of Welles & Gillette.
According to the prospectus published and circulated by Welles & Gilette, the purpose of this latter-day Doomsday book was: "So those who desire to be known and remembered by their posterity; So those whose wealth and position induce them, for the benefit of their descendants, to place on record a correct register of their families; So those rightful heirs unable to establish their claims to estates clearly their own …". The most striking features of this extraordinary document are a lithographed view of New York as an early Dutch settlement at the top and the facsimile signatures of the most illustrious citizens of the State and City of New York, which fill up half the area of the broadside, beginning with Millard Fillmore, Hamilton Fish, Peter Cooper, Edward Everett, John A. Dix, James W. Beekman, I. Van Buren, et alia. Condition is fair, as the broadside is housed in a heavy transparent sleeve, and is in an unrestored state. No other copies of the Certificate of Record for the Family of Stephen H. Thayer, Vol. I, No. 51 has been located.
Only one copy of a blank Certificate of Record was found at the New York Historical Society, which also has a very rare surviving copy of Welles & Gillette's prospectus. See also: The Home Journal, December 1, 1860; The World, December 11, 1860; The Morning Courier and New York Enquirer, November 20, 1860.

1934 1st ed Herbert Hoover SIGNED Challenge to Liberty on Franklin Roosevelt "Children are our greatest natural resource."
― Herbert Hoover
Herbert Hoover was the 31st President of the United States known for his business plans during the Great Depression. Shortly following his presidency and retirement from politics, he published 'The Challenge to Liberty' which was a harsh, critical work of Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal, calling much of Roosevelt's plans 'fascist'! According to Polenberg,
"Hoover raised an important issue when he claimed that big government would attempt to protect itself from criticism by blocking the free flow of information and therefore represented an insidious threat to freedom of speech and the press."
This 1934 first edition is signed by author and former president Herbert Hoover!

Alors que la guerre fait rage et qu'il sent sa fin proche, le psychanalyste expose sa doctrine politique, très nettement maurrassienne : "Au moment où, avec les armées, les flottes et les escadrilles, se heurtent les idées et plus encore les conceptions morales, il n'est pas inutile d'essayer de déceler nettement, sous les nuances variées et les aspects multiformes que lui imposent les circonstances particulières, l'antagonisme foncier qui déchire l'humanité."
