Description
Washington [PA]: Printed for the Author, 1806. 144pp. Disbound with scattered foxing. Dedication [page 3] trimmed closely in the right margin, costing several letters. Good+. Birch writes from "Point-Pleasant, near Washington, Pennsylvania, 3d October, 1805." He bitterly resents the "Inquisition" and "persecution" inflicted upon him by the Presbytery of Ohio, which refused to license him. He accuses the Presbytery of "falsehood, injustice, and the breach of those sacred ties of public faith." Courts and church officials, "from the lowest to the highest," have "shut the door against all legal redress," and left Birch alone to expose the injustice in this public appeal. An Irish immigrant ordained at Belfast, Birch is the more deeply distressed, because America is "destined by Providence to reform the world." He presents numerous biblical and mystical prophecies to that effect. Addressing the Jews, not as "incorrigible infidels" but as still "covenanted people," he urges their conversion to the Christian Church. Beginning at page 31, Birch writes his autobiography and his collision with the Ohio Presbytery in numbing detail. "Presbyterianism in Washington County, Pennsylvania at the beginning of the nineteenth century comprehended revivalists and critics of revivalism... The most acidic criticism flowed from the pen of an exiled Irish minister, Thomas Ledlie Birch, who seemingly could not adapt his particular brand of old-country Presbyterianism to American evangelicalism." Birch "repeatedly sought admission to the Ohio Presbytery; clergy and elders as repeatedly rejected Birch as 'unconverted'," The Birch case was a pivotal event in the "revival and schism in American Presbyterianism" [Gilmore, "A Rebel Amidst Revival: Thomas Ledlie Birch and Western Pennsylvania Presbyterianism." Accessed at Academia website.]. AI 10000 [6]. Sabin 5529.

Description
Paris: Esperantista Centra Librejo, 1931. Reprint. Softcover. g. Octavo. XI, [1], 182, [2]pp. Original printed wrappers. The Fundamento de Esperanto ("Foundation of Esperanto") is a book by L. L. Zamenhof, first published in the spring of 1905. On August 9, 1905 it was made the official source for the language by the fourth article of the Declaration of Boulogne at the first World Congress of Esperanto in Boulogne-sur-Mer, France: "The only basis of the Esperanto language binding on all Esperantists, which no one has the right to change, is the little work Foundation of Esperanto. If anyone deviates from the rules and models given in the said work, he can never justify himself with the words "thus desires or advises the author of Esperanto". Each Esperantist has the right to express any idea, which cannot be conveniently expressed by the material found in the Foundation of Esperanto, in such a manner as he finds most correct, as is done in every other language. However, for the unity of the language for all Esperantists it is recommended to imitate as much as possible the style that is found in the works of the creator of Esperanto, who has worked the most for and in Esperanto and knows best its spirit.” It is considered the only obligatory authority over Esperanto and is thus unchangeable.The Fundamento consists of four parts: a Foreword (Antaûparolo), a Grammar (Gramatiko), a collection of exercises (Ekzercaro) and a "Universal Dictionary" (Universala Vortaro). With the exception of the Foreword, almost everything in the Fundamento comes directly from Zamenhof's earlier works. Some age wear on wrappers with spine and edges of covers age-toned. Spine creased, with closed tears on head and tail. Age-toning along paper margin. Text in Esperanto, French, English, German, Russian and Polish. Wrappers and interior in overall good condition.
