Description
Paris: Payot, 1927. Softcover. First French edition; 9 x 5 3/4; pp. [7], 10-298, [4]; beige wraps, printed and ruled in dark blue; closed cuts to tips of spine with small loss of paper; small creases to lower corners of first few leaves; faint, penciled in note to first free leaf; very good condition. Originally published in Russian under the title "Tri stolitsy" (Three Capitals), the book described the secret trip to Russia of politician, member of the White Movement, and notorious anti-Semite Vasilii Shulgin (1878 - 1976). Joining the army during the First World War, Shulgin was appalled by the inefficient organization if the Russian military and in 1915, he banded together with other Right-wing politicians to form the Progressive Bloc - an organization that provided the army with every necessity. He emigrated to Yugoslavia in 1920, but went back to Russia, secretly, in 1925-1926, and on his return, he described his trip and his impressions of the New Economic Policy in his current book. He was known to have said: "I thought I was going to a dead country, but I saw the awakening of a great country... The Communists will give power to the fascists... [Russia] has eliminated the dreadful socialist rubbish in the course of just a few years. Of course, they'll soon liquidate the Yids." (The crisis in Russia and the rise of the right. (1995). INTERNATIONAL SOCIALISM JOURNAL, (66)). Shulgin was captured by the Soviet Army in 1944, brought back to Russia, and sentenced to 25 years for anti-Soviet activities, of which he served 12.

Description
Madison, Lake County, Ohio, 1884. Pre-printed pocket book, 7¼" x 3" inches, titled "The American Diary for 1883," approx. 174 pages, with (mostly) chronological entries January 1884 to January 1886. Handwritten in ink, bright and legible. This closely written pocket diary was kept by a farmer who lived in the small town of Madison, in Lake County, Ohio. The place was determined by names found in the diary. A typical entry: "August 22, 1884. Therm 76/90, clear. A Scovill helped me from 9 OC until night threshing Clawson wheat for seed drawed in 2 loads of oats Mr Parmer stayed over night paid him $2.50 for music book: A Scovill takes my second crop clover: I am to cut it he takes care of it & puts it in the barn for one third of it..." Entry for January 21, 1884: "made bunk to Bob: Henry Bartlett was here, paid Jon Northwood $3 & a note for his father gave uncle Ira for $5 in Feb'y 1857 for any threshing bill for 1883 amount $7.90" The farmer attends services, notes crops sowed and harvested, purchases of supplies, and attends town meetings. Some other names mentioned are Philo Smith, Dr. Curtis, Chester Fulton, Ralph Savage, J. Speer, Charlie and Minnie (possibly his grown children), B.L. Gaylord, Henry Sanborn, George Stafford, and Hiram Lewes. Although the author of this diary is unknown, he mentions some family members; Ira, Irene, Seth, Mary, Alice. Probably either Mary or Alice was his wife. On March 13, 1884, he notes "our silver wedding" anniversary which would have been twenty-five years to the day that he was married. The town of Madison was named after President James Madison, and the first white Americans to settle in the region arrived in the late 1790s. The community grew relatively slowly, having less than eight hundred residents in 1880. For most of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, many residents earned their living as farmers or found employment in harbor communities on nearby Lake Erie.
