Description
Geneve: Chez Barillot, & Fills, 1748. One of the Most Remarkable Works of the Eighteenth Century" [MONTESQUIEU, Charles de Secondat, Baron de]. De l'Esprit des Loix, ou Du rapport que les loix doivent avoir avec la constitution de chaque gouvernement, les moeurs, le climat, la religion, le commerce, &c. à quoi l'auteur a ajouté. Des recherches nouvelles sur les loix Romaines touchant les Successions, sur les Loix Françoises, & sur les Loix féodales. Geneve: Chez Barillot, & Fils [i.e., Paris: Prault], [n.d., 1748]. Second edition, first issue, (same year as first edition, 1748) with "Barillot" spelled with one "r" on title and with the errata leaf at the end of Volume I. Two quarto volumes. [8], xxiv, 522, [1, errata], [1, blank]; [4], xvi, 564 pp. Contemporary calf, expertly rebacked with original spines laid down, corners and ends of spine renewed. Spines decoratively tooled in gilt in compartments with raised bands and brown and red morocco labels. Gilt board edges, marbled endpapers. All edges stained red. Front joint of volume I just starting. Bookplates. Contemporary ink inscriptions o n titles and front fly-leaves. Occasional light marginal spotting. Still a v e r y good copy of this important work. In 1743, Montesquieu began work on De l'Esprit des Loix, "one of the most remarkable works of the eighteenth century....It took four years to write, and when it was finished almost all his friends advised him not to publish it. Montesquieu paid no attention and it was printed in Geneva in the autumn of 1748. It consists of six main sections, the first dealing with law in general and different forms of government, and the second with the means of government, military matters, taxation and s o on. The third deals with national character and the effect on it of climate; a subject of peculiar originality and the one most discussed at the time. The fourth and fifth deal with economic matters and religion; the last is an appendix on law-Roman, feudal and modern French. The most distinctive aspect of this immense syllabus is its moderation: a quality not designed to achieve official approval in 1748. It is an always original survey which is neither doctrinaire, visionary, eccentric, nor over-systematic...The scheme that emerges of a liberal benevolent monarchy limited by safeguards on individual liberty was to prove immensely influential...his theories underlay the thinking which led up to the American and French revolutions, and the United States Constitution in particular is a lasting tribute to the principles he advocated" (Printing and the Mind of Man).

Description
1970. Interlake Inc. manufacturing plant archive documenting the production of roll-formed steel storage rack systems in Pontiac, Illinois, during the 1970s, when American warehousing, distribution centers, and high-bay industrial storage increasingly depended on standardized pallet rack, cantilever rack, and modular steel handling equipment. The plant appears to have produced industrial storage components as captions identify frame assembly, frame welding fixtures, roll form lines, coil storage, electro-deposition paint line treatment, product handling, and storage of columns produced off a roll form line. The material records a complete manufacturing company, from raw steel coil and roll forming through welding, painting, storage, shipping, engineering, customer service, accounting, purchasing, and production scheduling. Photo archive of 60 color and black-and-white photographs, each 8" x 10", Pontiac, Illinois, circa 1970s. Workers weld steel frames at long fixtures while sparks arc across jig tables; coiled steel stock moves through conveyor-fed roll form equipment; finished columns are stacked in warehouse bays; a hard-hatted worker guides a loaded overhead hoist marked "CAPY 15000"; and yellow material-handling equipment moves rack components through storage areas. Typed captions include "Frame Assembly," "Frame Welding Fixtures," "#1 Roll Form Line," "#5 Roll Form Line Coil Conveyor and Down Ender Entry to Roll Former," "Accessory Department Welding Fixture for Cantilever Arms," "Storage & Product Handling," "Customer Services," "Product Engineering," "Accounting," and "Planning & Scheduling & Computer." Office interiors show partitioned departments, desks, telephones, binders, clerical staff, engineers, and an early computer-related scheduling area, extending the record beyond factory machinery into plant administration. The archive documents 1970s American industrial production at the point where manufacturing and logistics were becoming increasingly linked as factories were not only making goods, but producing the rack systems that allowed warehouses, distributors, and manufacturers to store and move goods at greater scale. This archive showcases the full internal record of one plant's production chain, combining shop-floor labor, coil-fed steel forming, welding, coating, storage, product handling, and office coordination in a single operational record. Photographs appear generally clear with some fading and age wear. Overall in very good condition.
