Description
Paris, 1868. FIRST EDITION. 6 folding tables, typographic tables in the text. Original yellow printed wrappers. An excellent copy in original condition. First edition of this economic and chemical analysis of tobacco based on years of growing and marketing experience. The text is divided into two parts. The first describes twelve types of tobacco and how to make their leaves into cigarettes. The author breaks down how each species burns, what chemical additives should be included, and proper materials for rolling. The second part provides information on maximizing profits from tobacco cultivation, including land usage, the ideal number of leaves per plant, how many cigarettes a plant should render, and nicotine concentrations. Schloesing (1824-1919) was a French soil chemist and director for l’École d’application des manufactures de l’État. Along with colleague Achille Muntz, Schloesing proved that nitrification is a biological process in soil.

Description
10 Ise Katagami Paper Stencils [型紙]. [Japan]. [Taisho Period]. Set of 10 intricate katagami 型紙 paper stencils that vary in size. 2 large stencils are approx. 41.5 x 41.5cm, 4 medium size stencils are approx. 30 x 40.5cm and 4 small stencils are approx. 15.5 x 22cm. All are in a shade of brown and are Japanese katagami paper stencils in an abstract, floral or botanical design. The stencils are made from layers of washi 和紙 (traditional Japanese handmade paper) and glue (called kakishibu 柿渋) that is extracted from persimmons, which give the stencils their signature brown hue. Katagami is also known as Ise katagami 伊勢型紙, named after the area of Ise (now Mie Prefecture) where they were made and used. Some of them have a very fine lattice made of human hair or the equivalent, that hold the designs together. Stencils were traditionally used on silk or cotton cloth to decorate hand towels, obi or clothing or on paper or objects, such as fans. The main ingredients in the glue are glutinous rice, rice bran and water. Sources attribute the roots of katazome to as early as the late Nara Period (710-794), but certainly by the Kamakura period (1185-1333) it was being used to dye textiles for clothing. It later became an artistic medium in its own right in the Edo (1603-1868) and Meiji periods (1868-1912). One of the stencils was previously used and, interestingly, has metallic silver and gold paint on one side. A few stencils have a round whitish mark at the edge on the back or front of the stencil. A few small cuts and a few tiny missing pieces to the stencils, one has a section of broken screen, making it easier to see how it was constructed.Stencils are otherwise in very good condition. An intricate and fragile art form that has all but disappeared in Japan.

Description
quarto, 1 page, in very good clean condition. No recipient named, but likely sent to Frank Wilson, an upstate New York Assemblyman, urging him to reject repeal of the so-called "Lusk Laws" – remnants of the first American "Red Scare" that followed World War I. In 1919, the Lusk Committee of the New York Legislature – formally the "Joint Legislative Committee to Investigate Seditious Activities" – began investigating Revolutionary Radicalism by raiding New York offices maintained by the Russian Bolshevik Government, determined to show that the I.W.W. and other American left wingers were inspired to promote "seditious" violence against the US government by Soviet Russian agents. This dovetailed with the Palmer Raids of 1919 and 1920, conducted by Attorney General Mitchell Palmer's Justice Department which arrested radicals and anarchists, 500 of whom, being foreign citizens, were deported from the U.S. As further follow-up, in 1921, the New York Legislature passed laws to insure that the public would be educated about the dangers of the Communist and Radical Menace. But the hysteria had faded by the time Democrat Al Smith was elected Governor of New York in 1922. He supported Democrats in the Legislature who proposed repeal of the "Lusk Laws". These included the requirement that public school teachers and even private schools supported by religious denominations swear loyalty "to our form of government" and not advocate its overthrow by force or violence. The Allied Patriotic Societies, supposedly representing 53 "patriotic organizations", opposed the repeal because of the "continued existence of revolutionary and seditious propaganda." Braman, who headed the group, was a Boston and New York banker with extensive Western investments, a confidant of the late President McKinley who had given his yacht to the US Government for military purposes during the Spanish-American War and allowed his 800 acre Maine estate to be used as a hospital for wounded soldiers. Braman's efforts were in vain. With the active support of Governor Smith, the Lusk laws were repealed.

New York: Orbit, 2021. Reprint. Trade Paperback. Fine. 6x1x9. Reprint. Brand new from publisher. An exceptional copy. 2021 Trade Paperback. 535 pp. Peace is just another kind of battlefield... Savine dan Glokta, once Adua's most powerful investor, finds her judgement, fortune and reputation in tatters. But she still has all her ambitions, and no scruple will be permitted to stand in her way. For heroes like Leo dan Brock and Stour Nightfall, only happy with swords drawn, peace is an ordeal to end as soon as possible. But grievances must be nursed, power seized, and allies gathered first, while Rikke must master the power of the Long Eye . . . before it kills her. Unrest worms into every layer of society. The Breakers still lurk in the shadows, plotting to free the common man from his shackles, while noblemen bicker for their own advantage. Orso struggles to find a safe path through the maze of knives that is politics, only for his enemies, and his debts, to multiply. The old ways are swept aside, and the old leaders with them, but those who would seize the reins of power will find no alliance, no friendship, and no peace lasts forever.
