Description:
British airship commander, the first to use a British airship on patrol in World War One and the first to make a transatlantic airship flight in 1919. ALS, 2pp (single leaf), 4½" X 7½", Cardington, England, 1930 February 25. Addressed to the librarian of Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. Near fine. Single original mailing fold. Blind-embossed crest. Boldly penned in blue fountain pen from the "Royal Airship Works," Scott transmits "the 'Royal Aeronautical Society' Journal, of November 1929 [not present], which include a copy of the lecture I gave before the Society, on the subject of 'Handling & Mooring of Airships'...." Handsomely signed in full. Scott was killed eight months later in the spectacular crash of the airship R 101 in northern France -- which signaled the end of Britain's interest in dirigibles. Extremely scarce in this form, especially with dirigible content.

HINDEMITH, PAUL. (1895-1963). German composer and one of the outstanding figures in 20th-century music theory and composition. AMusQS. ("Paul Hindemith"). 1p. 8vo. Maehrisch-Ostrau, November, 1931. A three-measure quotation from the solo viola's entrance in the first movement of his Konzertmusik for Viola and Large Chamber Orchestra, Op. 48 inscribed in German "in friendly remembrance."
Hindemith performed frequently as a violist and violinist, but by the mid-1920s he was well-known in the Frankfurt music scene for his compositional skills, well on his way to becoming the leading composer-performer of his generation. Rejecting Arnold Schoenberg's 12-tone system, Hindemith created his own harmonic theory, which employed the principles of traditional tonality. His masterworks include Kammermusik, Symphonic Metamorphoses on a Theme by Weber, Sinfonia Serena, and Die Harmonie der Welt. Composed in 1930, Hindemith's Konzertmusik, dedicated to French composer Darius Milhaud and his wife, was performed on November 6, 1931 in the Czech city of Ostrau, the occasion on which he penned our quotation.
Called "the foremost German composer of his generation," Hindemith promoted his musical theories through various academic posts as well as his compositions, (The New Grove Dictionary). After the Nazis banned his opera Mathis der Maler in the early 1930s, Hindemith left his post as professor of composition at the Berlin Academy of Music and taught at several other European universities. Politics and financial difficulties eventually led him to Yale where he taught from 1940 to 1953.Neatly penned in black ink on an album page. with some age toning and light staining. Irregular left edge caused by the page being removed from an album. Very slight ink offsetting around the quotation; otherwise in fine condition. Accompanied by a reproduction of the program in Ostrau where this piece was performed.

Description:
When France's King Henry II died in 1559 and his sickly 15-year-old heir Francis II followed the next year, the throne went to 10-year-old Charles Maximilian, who became Charles IX; his mother, Catherine de' Medici, dominated his reign, which is noted for the Wars of Religion and for the infamous St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre of 1572. Partial vellum DS, 1p, 11" X 8", n.p., n.y. [September 1570 lightly pencilled in another hand]. Very good. Folds and mild bit of wear evident, but overall handsome and boldly penned. Though penned in difficult early French (which is to modern French what Elizabethan English is to modern English) and not accompanied by a translation, this is a probate approval legal document. Below six lines of finely penned legalese, Charles signs at left with his usual enormous signature in a different and somewhat lighter ink. Below this appears another sentence in a large flamboyant hand (which appears to refer to Provence) and huge ornate signature of an official. This atmospheric…

Description:
Small Octavo. Latin manuscript is written in poetic style by C.P.F. Kurrer who was a distinguished member of the famed Latin Society of Jena. 89p. OCLC notes that a 16-page edition was published in Tubingen by Fues in 1786. This much larger version of several thousand lines is entirely handwritten in Latin poetic style. As William Clark as noted in his Charismata and the Origin of Research Universities, p. 158ff., "The Latin Society of Jena (founded 1733) ..required members to submit written dissertations exhibiting eloquence and erudition." This was, of course, in contrast to the universities which like their English counterparts were still under the domain of the Aristotelian dominance through the Middle Ages and into the Early Modern period. These highly literate societies which existed outside the university system of rote memory became (as Clark noted) the predecessor of the modern university system with seminars and original research. The Societas Latina Jenensis according to the Scholarly…

Alors que la guerre fait rage et qu'il sent sa fin proche, le psychanalyste expose sa doctrine politique, très nettement maurrassienne : "Au moment où, avec les armées, les flottes et les escadrilles, se heurtent les idées et plus encore les conceptions morales, il n'est pas inutile d'essayer de déceler nettement, sous les nuances variées et les aspects multiformes que lui imposent les circonstances particulières, l'antagonisme foncier qui déchire l'humanité." L'opposition est selon lui entre d'une part "l'humanisme" (centré sur la personne) et…

Harry and Virginia Walton were lifelong residents of Covington, Virginia, a small town in the Allegheny Mountains. Harry was a graduate of Lynchburg College, and Virginia was a graduate of the Lynchburg General School of Nursing. Although largely unknown to the general public, the Waltons' reputation as collectors was widely respected in bibliophile and academic circles, and items from their collection were exhibited at numerous colleges, universities and art centers. After their deaths, the original Walton collection was the subject of a series of very successful auctions in New York and London. John Field was an expert…

Description:
Durham, England, 1681; Final concord Latin indenture in highly mannered Gothic style, executed at the court of Durham during the reign of Charles II on the 26th day of May in the year 1681 before three identified justices and the Mayor of the City Of Durham. Plaintiff is John Garstell, deforciants are Mary Hopper and Anthony Craggs and wife Amice. At issue is a tenement comprised of messuage, an orchard, twenty acres of land, twenty acres of meadow, and twenty acres of pasture, together with all goods and appurtenances, at Wiserley, Weardale township, in the parish of Wolsingham, County Durham. A sum of 160 silver marks was paid, suggesting this property was almost certainly a freehold. Indeed the names of John Gastell, Anthony Craggs and John Hopper appear as Wolsingham freeholders for 1685 in H. Conyers Surtees’ "History Of The Parish Of Wolsingham." Freeholds in Wolsingham were scarce, as the vast majority of lands were retained by the See of the Bishop of Durham. Manuscript…

New York: Workers Party, 1940. Mimeographed sheets, stapled at left, 8.5 x 11 inches, 8 pp. Pencil marginalia and minor toning to sheets.. Original mimeograph sheets containing James Burnham's (1905-1987) resignation from the Workers Party together with a response from the Party's Political Committee. The Workers Party was born out of prolonged factional infighting within the Socialist Workers Party (SWP), and was organized in 1940 when Burnham, Max Shachtman, and other Trotskyists (estimated at forty percent of the SWP membership) resigned from the SWP in opposition to the Soviet invasion of Finland and the USSR's direction under Stalin. Although Burnham supported the split, his alliance with Trotsky and Trotskyism, which dated back to the early 1930s, was in its final stage. Throughout his years as a Trotskyist, Burnham had sought to formulate an "American approach" to Marxism capable of addressing American, as opposed to European, causes and concerns. His youthful alignment with the Marxist…
