[091053] CARSON, Rachel. Silent Spring. (introd. by Peter Matthiessen) The efforts of the American agricultural chemical industry to suppress the publication of 'Silent Spring' in 1962 told their own story about the credibility of Rachel Carson's evidence. Controversy propelled the book to a mass audience; that it struck such a profound chord is a tribute to Carson's ability for presenting her findings in words which are both lyrical an d direct. She shows how, in controlling a few species of pests, the poison left behind by chemical insecticides began to wipe out huge tracts of countryside, killing wildlife with indiscriminate ease and passing through the food chain to affect humans.

THOMAS CHISHOLM ANSTEY: Lawyer and politician, son of one of the first settlers in Tasmania, b. in London, England, 1816; d. at Bombay, India, 12 August, 1873. Educated at Wellington and the University College, London, he was called to the Bar in 1893. One of the earliest converts of the Oxford movement, he was shortly after appointed professor of law and jurisprudence at Prior Park College near Bath, and became an ardent champion of the rights and interests of the Catholics of England and Ireland. Joining O'Connell's forces, he resigned his professorship and devoted himself entirely to politics. In 1847 he was elected member of Parliament for Youghal, where he was prominent in the opposition to Lord Palmerston's foreign policy and advocated the repeal of the Irish and Scotch unions and the repeal of the currency laws. He retired from parliamentary life in 1852 and in 1854 was nominated Attorney General of Hongkong, but in the course of the radical reforms he inaugurated he came into collision with Sir John Bowring in 1858 and was suspended from office. Anstey's representations were brought to the attention of Parliament in 1859 but he was unable to obtain public redress, whereupon he retired to India and took up the practice of law at Bombay. His success was great; he filled a temporary vacancy on the bench in 1865, but again was compelled to resign his post on account of the opposition excited by his vigorous denunciation of commercial abuses in the Bengal government. He then returned to England in 1866 and in a tract entitled "A Plea for the Unrepresented for the Restitution of the Franchise" he advocated universal suffrage as a panacea for the ills resulting from class legislation. In 1867 he published an attack upon Disraeli's Reform Act of that year. In 1868 he returned to Bombay and resumed his practice and on his death was deeply lamented by the natives, whose causes he had always forwarded. He was accused of lack of moderation in his methods but never of lack of intelligence or honour in his purposes. Among his numerous pamphlets were: "A Guide to the Laws affecting Roman Catholics" (1842), and "The Queen's Supremacy considered in its relation with the Roman Catholics in England" (1850). He also contributed many articles to the Dublin Magazine, just then started under the direction of Newman, O'Connell, and Henry Bagshawe. [ DL 4/2]  £75.00

The notes included in the almanach were collected from 1914 to 1969. Iskusstvo", M., 1979; 448pp., cloth + paper cover, profusely illustrated. drawings, portraits , sketches etc. ¶ To perpetuate something of the collegial spirit of Kuokkola, Kornei Chukovsky began to keep the combination of scrapbook, family album, and autograph book for which Repin found the best name Chukokkala. From the annotated account of this that was published in Moscow in 1979 it is clear that it never lacked for contributors. Though kept up until the end of the 1920s, the book was at its best and strongest until 1923 or thereabouts. Blok, Pasternak, Mayakovsky, Gorky, Remizov, Zoshchenko, and many another wrote for it. Drawings—above all of Chukovsky himself—were everywhere. From a visit to London in 1916, there were cameo appearances by H. G. Wells, John Buchan, Edmund Gosse, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, and Edward Grey, the former foreign secretary, who had composed in August 1914 the still-famous phrase about "the lights going out all over Europe. Chukokkala is an invisible document. We can only be glad that Chukovsky buried it, dug it up, kept it through difficult times, and clung to it as if it in some way validated that admiration in which he had been held. Together with the personal archive—apparently still intact—that he kept from 1900 until his death in 1969, Chukokkala is the record of a long life of concentrated work and what his daughter calls "cheerful, varied and energetic associations." It is remarkable that any such book, and any such archive, should have survived the long period in which to be caught with even a dozen lines of poetry on a sheet of paper could mean certain banishment and quite possibly a horrible death.

Un acteur de la Fronde. Cadet de la maison de Bourdeilles, conseiller écouté de Gaston d'Orléans, le frère de Louis XIII, il joua dans l'opposition nobiliaire à Richelieu, puis à Mazarin, un rôle central. "Dans ses Mémoires, [il] apparaît comme le symbole du gentilhomme de cette époque. Il évoque notamment la nécessité de respecter "les formes", indiquant par là que, pour lui, la politique réside dans le maintien de la tradition et dans la primauté du droit." (Jean-Marie Constant dans Fr. Bluche (Dir.) Dictionnaire du Grand Siècle, Fayard, 1990. Dans ses Mémoires, La Rochefoucauld parle de lui à plusieurs reprise. Quant au cardinal de Retz, à qui il fut pourtant fort utile lors de la Fronde, il note (en août 1648) que Montrésor est "d'autant plus dangereux pour conseiller les grandes choses, qu'il les avait beaucoup plus dans l'esprit que dans le coeur." A la fin de sa vie, il se réconcilia avec la cour et passa ses dernières années dans la retraite, tout entier à son amour pour Mademoiselle de Guise, dont il avait eu 3 enfants naturels. Il a laissé, dit le dictionnaire biographique de Michaud, > C'est dire que comme écrivain autant que comme acteur de la Fronde, on ne mettra pas les Mémoires Montrésor, qui s'arrêtent à la veille de la Fronde, sur le même plan que celles de Retz ou de La Rochefoucauld. "Ce que l'on doit donc chercher et ce que l'on peut espérer [y] trouver, notait en 1838 l'éditeur des Mémoires de Montrésor dans la Collection Michaud et Poujoulat, ce sont de petites données sur de petites conjurations, racontées en détail par des témoins oculaires, et dont l'authenticité paraît suffisamment établie au moyen de nombreux documents contemporains." . this copy has the library stamp of the Royal House of Hannover on the title and the same embossed on the front board, on the reverse title there is a red stamp with the text : ex bibliotheca Ernesti Aug.

Au reste, les six romans publiés entre 1919 et 1940 forment-ils une œuvre, avec ce que ce terme suppose de cohérence ? On s’est plu à insister sur leur brièveté, sur la discontinuité des épisodes, sur la désinvolture de l’auteur à l’égard des détails censés donner au récit l’épaisseur du vécu et entraîner l’adhésion du lecteur. En somme, on a utilisé les critères d’évaluation du roman traditionnel pour estimer la valeur d'une œuvre (car cette édition le montre bien, c’en est une) qui est d’une autre nature. Elle s’écrit dans un temps où les formes romanesques classiques sont contestées. Contre le roman, les surréalistes utilisent l’artillerie lourde : tir de barrage, puis de destruction. Les armes de Cocteau sont plus subtiles. Souvent, il paraît jouer le jeu du roman, mais il en modifie les règles. Le but n’est plus de donner aux personnages une illusion de vie. La manière prend le pas sur la matière, l’écriture sur l’histoire, la cohérence poétique sur la logique narrative. Cocteau range son œuvre romanesque sous l’intitulé « poésie de roman ». « Nos maîtres cachèrent l’objet sous la poésie. […] Notre rôle sera dorénavant de cacher la poésie sous l’objet. » Conséquence : il faut aller au fond des choses pour percevoir l’unité indéniable de l’œuvre. « Des critiques ont consacré d’aimables études au Potomak, sans voir son noyau. Noyau amer, à partir de quoi, jusqu’à sa surface, le livre se trouve fait par couches. » Dans la quête nécessaire du centre de gravité des romans, la poésie des images peut servir de guide. « Images » : réseaux de métaphores, mais aussi suites d’illustrations. Jamais Cocteau ne dissociera sa poésie de roman de la poésie parallèle des dessins. C’est d’un album que naît l’étrange Potomak, et les textes suivants seront presque tous accompagnés d’images. Non par souci d’ornement : les dessins font partie des livres. Et lorsqu’ils apparaissent « hors texte », ils proposent une relecture de l’oeuvre par son auteur, et permettent, à qui sait voir, d’en discerner le « noyau ». Aussi ce volume leur fait-il une large place. [ WB-3]  £59.40

Germany as a Culture of Remembrance: Promises and Limits of Writing History. 2006, XVII,306pp., 10 colour and 46 b/w illustrations, notes, index. new paperback ¶ *** An acknowledged authority on German history and memory, Alon Confino presents in this volume an original critique of the relations between nationhood, memory, and history, applied to the specific case of Germany. In ten essays (three never before published and one published only in German), Confino offers a distinct view of German nationhood in particular and of nationhood in general as a product of collective negotiation and exchange between the many memories that exist in the nation. The first group of essays centers on the period from 1871 to 1990 and explores how Germans used conceptions of the local, or Heimat, to identify what it meant to be German in a century of ideological upheavals. The second group of essays comprehensively critiques and analyzes the ways laypersons and scholars use the notion of memory as a tool to understand the past. Arguing that the case of Germany contains particular characteristics with broader implications for the way historians practice their trade, Germany as a Culture of Remembrance examines the limits and possibilities of writing history.

[092857] Cureton , W., [Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch, Saint, Martyr, c.35-c.107. ]. Corpus Ignatianum: A Complete Collection of the Ignatian Epistles genuine, interpolated, and spurious; together with numerous extracts from them, as quoted by ecclesiastical writers down to the tenth century; in Syriac, Greek, and Latin :. an English translation of the Syriac text, copious notes, and introduction, by William Cureton. London, Francis and John Rivington, 1849, [4], xvii, lxxxvii, [2], 365, [2] pp.; double-page pl. of Syriac mss. drawn by Harrietta Cureton, lithographed in red & black; size 26 x 17 cm., text in Syriac, Greek, Latin and English. Robust and elegant full dark brown calf leather binding, with some mottled lighter patches and a few scuff marks; front and rear covers each blind-ruled with double lines to form one main central panel, narrower panels along all four sides, and four corner panels, each corner with blind stamped floral ornament; spine with title in gilt on red leather title label , four raised bands with blind stamped floral ornaments between them; the top 5 cm. of the spine has at some time been neatly repaired and strengthened, though the repair material now covers the place where a fifth raised band was originally positioned; lower part of spine has a former library shelfmark in small white numerals on black background ("2.81.3"); head and tail bands; lower rear hinge has a small split, pages edged in red; marbled end papers; pasted on to the front endpapers are bookplates of Thomas Hodgkin (1831-1913, a prominent Quaker and historian) and the Woodbrooke Library (a Quaker institution in Birmingham), with a label indicating that the Woodbrooke Library received the volume from the library of Dr. Hodgkin on 12 November 1913; apart from foxing of a few pages at the beginning and end of the book, and neat pencilled notes in the margins of about ten pages, the text is clean and unmarked. Very scarce. An important date in the Ignatian controversy was the year 1845, when Canon Cureton published a Syriac version of the epistles to St. Polycarp, the Ephesians, and the Romans. The three epistles contained in this version appear in a much shorter form than is found in the Greek text and Latin version. A fragment of the epistle to the Trallians is incorporated in the epistle to the Romans, but none of the other epistles appear in the collection. The text of Cureton's edition was based upon two MSS. in the British Museum. The former of these two MSS. dates from the sixth century. It was purchased by Archdeacon Tattam from the convent of St. Mary Deipara in the Nitrian desert in 1839. The second MS. dates from the seventh or eighth century, and was brought from Egypt by Archdeacon Tattam in 1842. Cureton maintained that these three epistles alone represented the genuine Ignatius, that the Vossian collection contained these three in an interpolated form, and that the remaining four letters of the Vossian collection were forgeries. This rekindled the controversy. Dr. Christopher Wordsworth, afterwards Bishop of Lincoln, declared the newly-discovered version to be an epitome of the genuine letters made by an Eutychian heretic. This led Cureton to a fuller treatment of the question. He had meanwhile discovered an additional MS. of the three epistles, brought, like the first-named, from the convent of St. Mary Deipara, and dating from at least the ninth century. He now published his great work Corpus Ignatianum (London, 1849), which contains a full treatment of the whole question. Cureton's view was supported by Bunsen and several eminent scholars. But it has failed to hold its ground. Apart from the fact that the seven letters of the Vossian collection were plainly known to Eusebius and Theodoret, they exhibit a perfect unity of authorship and style throughout. Cureton's theory requires us to suppose that the interpolator was able to reproduce in his additions to the letters the most subtle characteristics of language and grammar. A similar difficulty occurs when we examine the relation of Cureton's Syriac version to the Syriac version of the seven letters. The one is plainly derived from the other, and it is far more probable that the Curetonian Syriac version is an abridged form of the Syriac version of the seven letters, than that the latter is an expansion of the former. Epistle to Polycarp, to the Ephesians and to the Romans: on the left opening Cureton's restored Greek text at the head with the shorter and longer recensions in parallel, on the right the Syriac from his ms a at the head with the longer and shorter Latin versions. For the epistle to the Magnesians, Trallians, Philadelphians and Smyrnians: the shorter and longer Greek recensions on the left, the longer and shorter Latin on the right. Fragments of `Other Ignatian epistles, not mentioned by Eusebius' include epistles from and to Maria Cassobolita, to the Tarsians, to the Antiochians, to Hero the Deacon and to the Philippians, in parallel Greek and Latin; to John Apostle and Evangelist I-II and to S.

[092788] Dante Alighieri,. Il trattato De vulgari eloquentia. Per cura di Pio Rajna. ( Società Dantesca Italiana opere minori di Dante Alighieri - edizione critica ) Firenze, Le Monnier, 1896, CCXV, + 3 plates with facsimiles of the original manuscripts - Codice Trivulziano and Codice Vaticano - + 206pp., De vulgari eloquentia, written probably in 1303-04, by Dante in the early years of the fourteenth century, is the only known work of medieval literary theory to have been produced by a practising poet, and the first to assert the intrinsic superiority of living, vernacular languages over Latin. Dante wrote this to highlight the dignity of vulgar (or the "language of the people"), to uphold the dialect, which he found mature enough to substitute Latin and to become what is now known as the Italian language. His literary work at this epoch centres round his rime, or lyrical poems, more particularly round a series of fourteen canzoni or odes, amatory in form, but partly allegorical and didactic in meaning, a splendid group of poems which connect the "Vita Nuova" with the "Divina Commedia". Early in 1304 he seems to have gone to Bologna. Here he began, but left unfinished, this Latin treatise, in which he attempts to discover the ideal Italian language, the noblest form of the vernacular, and then to show how it should be employed in the composition of lyrical poetry. Even in its unfinished state it is a most illuminating book to all who wish to understand the metrical form of the Italian canzone. The digression on the vernacular in the first treatise of the Convivio was developed into this thoroughly original work and planned to include at least four books and to deal with the origins and history of language and the complete range of styles and forms used in vernacular literature. To convince even the most conservative among the literati of the worth of the vernacular and, at the same time, to pay it the ultimate accolade, the analysis is conducted in Latin. The treatise remained unfinished and unpublished, probably overshadowed, like the Convivio, by the dawning of the Commedia. Nevertheless, it is of fundamental importance both for the history of the 'questione della lingua' and for what it reveals of Dante's perspectives on language and style. The first book begins, astonishingly, by asserting the superiority of the vernacular over Latin (known also as gramatica). To justify his radically unconventional view - the opposite of what he had stated in the Convivio - Dante traces a brief history of human language from the first word ever spoken by Adam (rather than by Eve, as the Bible states) to the building of the Tower of Babel and the ensuing gradual division, subdivision, and, finally, atomisation of idioms which characterise present usage. Dante shows an unprecedented grasp of the historical character of language as a living organism in continuous evolution through time and space. Of the three closely related, Latin-derived languages in Southern Europe (the languages of oc, ool and s"), Italian (the language of s") presents the greatest variety. However, none of its many (at least fourteen) dialects is in itself dignified enough to become the literary language of Italy. Such a language already exists, not as an immanent presence but as a transcendent paradigm to which the best Italian poets strive to conform. It is the 'illustrious vernacular', a literary language free from, and superior to, all municipalisms, and already as fixed as Latin within the ever changing flux of local idioms: effectively, a new gramatica. The second book is Dante's ars poetica. The illustrious vernacular, he writes, is no mere form but the only language capable of reflecting the writer's moral and intellectual personality. Therefore, it is suitable only for the most excellent poets seeking to express the noblest subjects: arms, love, and rectitude. As to metrical forms, the highest and most convenient for such lofty subjects, and especially for rectitude, is the canzone. The illustrious vernacular and the canzone are essential components of the superior 'tragic' style. lge8vo. sized volume in a recent half leather binding marbled paper covered boards and with 2 title labels, 5 raised bands. some marginal annot. in pencil.

Nimphidia is a narrative poem (published in 1627) about fairies, with King Oberon having many adventures when he sets off in pursuit of his queen. ¶ Michael Drayton (1563-1631). was born at Hartshill in Warwickshire in 1563 and as a youth became page to Sir Henry Goodeere of Polesworth. Goodeere is to be credited for Drayton's education. Drayton fell in love with Sir Henry's daughter, Anne, who served as an inspiration for 'Idea'. Drayton's career as a poet was long: from his first published work in 1591 to his last in 1630. He died in comparative poverty, but was buried in Westminster Abbey. He was an extremely prolific writer, producing historical, topographical, and religious verse, as well as odes, sonnets, and satires. His The Ballad of Agincourt opens with the famous lines: "fayre stood the winde for France When we our sailes advaunce ". This, Drayton's most popular work. Nymphidia is a mock-heroic series of fairy poems, or 'Nimphalls'1, much influenced by Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream. Drayton died in London on December 2, 1631. He was buried in Westminster Abbey under a monument with an epitaph by Ben Jonson commissioned by the Countess of Dorset. [ DR - 3 ]  £185.00
