iii: (1439-1503) pope of the catholic church and ruler of the papal states from 22 nd september to 18 th october 1503. at just twenty-six days, pius iii had one of the shortest pontificates in papal history. an exceptionally rare d.s., f [ranciscus] . c [ardinalis] de piccolomineis , as papal legate to rome and the papal states, one page (vellum), slim oblong folio (32 x 12 cm), st. peter's basilica, rome, 5 th june 1464, in latin. the manuscript document, issued in the name of pope pius ii, and penned in an elegant script, states that the recipient's letters 'in which you have indicated to us certain suspicions cast by you\u2026.and also an account of what has been reported of jacopo piccinino' have been read, commenting 'we, beloved child, think that suspicions of this kind are vain, but we praise you for being cautious' and further continuing 'the care and diligence in averting and rejecting the plans of the malicious should always be praised, and we who are the ones who protect and defend you as we desire\u2026.therefore, concerning the corsicans who are trying to enter into your state, we ordered the governor of our patrimony to seize them and punish them according to their demerits' . the document also states, 'as regards piccinino, although he has received the\u2026.stipend from the king [ferdinand i of naples] and his serenity needs his services for the establishment of his kingdom and his state, and as we have been informed he does not wish to let him go, nevertheless we shall not fail to protect you where necessary\u2026..our beloved son antonio [piccolomini] , duke of amalfi\u2026\u2026will soon arrive, who will station a part of our army in the territory of your country\u2026.' adding that the duke has been commanded to defend and protect their land and subjects if necessary. autographs of pope pius iii, the nephew of pius ii, are of the utmost rarity and the present document is also of historical significance for its references to jacopo piccinino and antonio piccolomini. some light overall damp staining and two very small holes to the body of the document, the text remaining clear and entirely legible. some traces of former mounting to the verso and with the (slightly indistinct) circular red stamp of the college heraldique de france to the verso. about vg \n the recipient of the present document is unclear, however one valid candidate would be marino marzano (1420-1494) italian nobleman, grand admiral of the kingdom of naples, and an ally of pope pius ii.  \n pius ii (1405-1464) pope of the catholic church and ruler of the papal states 1458-64. a renaissance humanist, and member of the house of piccolomini, pius ii had achieved fame as an author in latin before becoming pope.  \n jacopo piccinino (1423-1465) italian condottiero, nobleman and feudal lord. in 1450 piccinino became a general in the venetian army and in 1463 participated in the dynastic wars which tore apart the kingdom of naples. in 1465 he was called to naples to receive the position as viceroy of abruzzi and serve as leader of king ferdinand i of naple's troops, however he was treacherously arrested on the king's orders and condemned to death.  \n antonio piccolomini (1435-1492) duke of amalfi. italian soldier and politician. brother of francesco piccolomini, the future pope, and a nephew of pius ii from whom the duke received numerous favours and investitures. appointed lieutenant general of men-at-arms of the kingdom of naples, at the time of the present document the duke was engaged in eliminating the last resistances of jacopo piccinino and participated in various military campaigns involving the kingdom of naples.  \n ferdinand i (1424-1494) king of naples 1458-94, one of the most influential and feared monarchs in europe at the time and an important figure in the italian renaissance.  \n pius ii had convened the congress of mantua in 1459 in order to plan a war against the ottoman turks, christendom's common enemy, and in january 1460 the pope proclaimed the official crusade. however, by november 1463, little progress had been made and the pope, in an effort to organise the crusade himself, invited all of the christian nobility to join. the venetians immediately agreed, as did george kastriot skanderberg, leader of the albanian resistance, who declared war on the ottomans on 27 th november 1463. the pope did not succeed in securing the support of estranged france; the duke of burgundy breaking his promises; milan was engrossed in an attempt to seize genoa; and florence cynically advised the pope to let the turks and the venetians to wear each other out. pius ii was aware that he was nearing his end, and his malady most likely prompted the feverish impatience with which on 18 th june 1464, less than two weeks after the present document was issued, he assumed the cross and departed for ancona to conduct the crusade in person.  \n provenance: previously contained in the archives of the college heraldique de france, a leading organisation in the studies of noble genealogy that was created in 1841 by claude drigon, marquis of magny (1796-1879). its large collections, estimated to be

charles de: (1858-1916) foucauld was a former cavalry officer in the french army, he would later become an explorer, and finally a catholic priest. foucauld lived as a hermit, among the tuareg in the algerian sahara. in 1916 foucauld was assassinated and is considered by the catholic church a martyr. the little brothers of jesus were found after him. foucauld was beatified by pope benedict xvi in 2005. an excellent and rare lengthy a.l.s., ` p. ch. de jesus ´, four pages, 8vo, tamaraset - par insalah, algeria, 16th july 1910, to abbott caron, in french. to the upper left corner of the letter, foucauld annotates ` jesus + caritas´ adding a sketch of a heart, adding also to each of the heading of the three other pages ` jesus +´ with a heart sketchs on each occasion. foucauld pays homage to father charles guérin, who had passed away only few months earlier in march 1910, at the very early age of 37, being the person who welcomed foucauld on his arrival to alger in 1901, and with whom he started a friendship. a very interestin letter, with foucauld spiritual thoughts, stating in part ` c'est l'excès de travail qui m'a mis si en retard pour vous écrire. j\u2019ai grand hâte d\u2019achever ces lexiques et grammaires dont je vous ai parlé, pour pouvoir me donner uniquement aux âmes ; je travaille de toutes mes forces et le temps se passe sans que les lettres même aux plus chers s'écrivent.  le bien aimé jésus a appelé à lui une des âmes qui me sont les plus chères : le r.p. guérin, préfet apostolique du sahara. il avait 37 ans, je m\u2019appuyais sur lui sans avoir jamais pensé qu\u2019il pût ne pas me survivre ; le bon dieu l\u2019a jugé digne de la récompense : c\u2019était une âme très sainte. il s\u2019était chargé de faire faire à rome les démarches pour l\u2019autorisation de fonder l\u2019association des frères et sœurs du sacré cœur de jésus.´ (translation: \" it is the excess of work that has made me so late in writing to you. i am in great haste to finish these lexicons and grammars of which i spoke to you, so that i can give myself solely to souls; i am working with all my strength and time passes without letters even to the dearest being written. the beloved jesus called to him one of the souls who are dearest to me: rev. fr. guérin, apostolic prefect of the sahara. he was 37 years old, i relied on him without ever having thought that he might not survive me; the good lord judged him worthy of the reward: he was a very holy soul. he had taken it upon himself to have the steps taken in rome for authorization to found the association of the brothers and sisters of the sacred heart of jesus.\") further, foucauld wonders what will happen in future with the sacred heart of jesus missionaries work, and asks his correspondent for help, explaining how important would be to have a new priest appointed to continue with father guerin´s work, adding a mystical thinking `moi, je n´existe pas´ (\" i do not exist\"), saying ` qui s\u2019occupera désormais de cette œuvre ? trouverai-je quelqu\u2019un chez les pères blancs ? je n\u2019ose guère l\u2019espérer, car les missionnaires ont leur travail quotidien de défrichage des

someone among the white fathers? i hardly dare hope so, for the missionaries have their daily work of clearing souls, just as the monks clear land. what a great service you would render me\u2014i do not exist\u2014what a service you would render to the beloved, how much you would help me in my task, if you could find a priest, a man of piety and zeal, willing to make this work his own and take the initiative...\") further again and before concluding, father foucauld refers to his work, his mission and what it needs, adding ` cherchez, je vous en prie. moi il n'est pas de mon devoir de quitter cette pauvre mission où je suis toujours seul, pour cette œuvre si utile soit-elle : puis, je ne serai pas apte à la mener à bonne fin : ce n'est pas ma vocation. il faudrait un bon prêtre de

political radical, and one of his associates were brought before the committee on trade and foreign plantations and questioned concerning irish relations, in an effort to secure from them, without their knowledge of the object of the questioning, statements which would commit them to the policy later presented to the public in the form of the irish resolutions. walker and his associate were later repeatedly confronted with quotations from their statements, and cross-examined, and treated in a manner which was characterised by a member of parliament as ´most scandalous´. by such methods the government defeated its own ends with respect to the irish resolutions as well as the cotton tax. manchester manufacturers were needlessly embittered, and were forced to associate the government´s fiscal policy at home with its commercial policy toward ireland. the irish question, ever a thorn in the side, was rendered acutely piercing in the case of william pitt´s government (1783-85). pitt, recognising ireland´s newly acquired legislative independence, was at once confronted with the problem of economic reorganisation. his policy, formulated in the so-called irish resolutions or propositions, came from the irish parliament for consideration in the english house of commons in february 1785. according to pitt´s own interpretation, his policy embraced two ´capital points´, namely, the admission of ireland to participation in england´s colonial and foreign trade (with certain restrictions) and the mutual reduction of tariffs on manufactured goods to the rate in that kingdom where existing duties were the lower. the irish resolutions, like the cotton tax, encountered the fierce hostility of the newer manufacturers. pitt himself, in his private letter of 6th january 1785, to the duke of rutland, lord lieutenant of ireland, quite frankly admitted the probability of the shifting to ireland of certain english industries in consequence of the resolutions. the most important of the various arguments urged against the irish resolutions by the manufacturers was the contrast in the tax policies of the two kingdoms. pitt himself admitted the force of the argument, first in private, and at length in consenting to the modification of the cotton tax. the vital connection between the irish resolutions and the question of taxation, particularly the excise laws, was set forth in the resolutions of manchester manufacturers on 11th april 1785. out of this situation, which gave to the manufacturers a feeling of common interest, arose the general chamber of manufacturers of great britain. this organisation was not limited to the new capitalistic manufacturers, but the initiative and the moving force were with them. the new capitalistic industries consisted in the main of three groups: wedgwood´s staffordshire potteries; the iron foundries and plants about birmingham; and the manufacturing and printing of cotton centering at manchester. the part played by josiah wedgwood seems to have been the result of his hostility to the irish resolutions. on 21st february 1785, he wrote to matthew boulton, saying that he intended to recommend the organisation of ´a committee of delegates from all the manufacturing places of england and scotland to meet and sit in london all the time the irish commercial affairs are pending´ and he was not without hope that such a body would be useful ´upon others as well as the present occasion´. results were soon manifest. on 12th march, it was reported that ´manufacturers are assembling´ at london from various parts of the kingdom. a meeting had already been held in london, at the london tavern, on 7th march. during the succeeding week, a committee was appointed, with wedgwood as chairman. on 12th march this committee met and issued a call for another general meeting for 14th march. at the meeting convened on the 14th, there was organised a definite body to be called the chamber of manufacturers of great britain, and to consist of ´each member of a commercial committee, being a manufacturer´. it was resolved unanimously that the society ´do not cease with the present business´. at the various meetings of the chamber, the chairmanship was held by different men. the chairman of the meeting of 14th march was wedgwood, who, though not a member of the aristocracy, was nevertheless invested with a respectability denied to the more ´vulgar´ and less artistic textile manufacturers. the committee recommended that the chamber promote, by means of circular letters and in other ways, the organisation of local bodies of manufacturers, whose common interests should find expression in the central body. to distinguish the local chambers from the national organisation, it was recommended that the word ´general´ be prefixed to the title of the chamber. the committee´s recommendations were unanimously adopted. it was decided, also, that the body should be a permanent organisation. as a result of the organised activities of the manufacturers in opposition to the irish resolutions and the cotton tax, a flood of more than sixty petitions deluged the house of commons - petitions usually representing large groups of manufacturers, very similar in content, and commonly denouncing the english system of taxation as well as the proposed readjustment of irish relations. the government first yielded on the excise issue. on 10th may a bill was passed repealing the more obnoxious features of the law of 1784. the cotton manufacturers continued, nevertheless, in opposition, in company with the other members of the general chamber, and pitt again yielded by introducing the resolutions in a new form, including many modifications demanded by the manufacturers. immediately thereafter the general chamber held a general meeting and resolved to notify its constituents and ask them to petition for further delay. then followed a second deluge of petitions, conforming closely to the recommendations of the general chamber. although pitt secured the adoption of the revised resolutions, the revision itself was a virtual defeat at home and the cause of the not unexpected rejection of the entire plan in ireland. thus ended in defeat, at the hands of the general chamber of manufacturers, a policy which had engaged the utmost power of the minister, and which had been regarded by him as vital to himself and to the empire.

for us to abandon our former ways and to adopt a new system adapted to our social conditions\". isma'il's policies placed the khedivate of egypt and sudan in severe debt, leading to the sale of the

hopes he has not made a mistake in his calculations and that ´cette lettre mon cher valenciennes doit vous trouver à paris de retour d´un voyage dans lequel vous aurez trouvé bien des objets dignes de votre attention´ (translation: ´this letter, my dear valenciennes, should find you in paris, returning from a trip during which you will have found many things worthy of your attention´ ), further reaffirming the feelings of friendship and affection he holds for his correspondent and their family, and continuing to write of his recent discoveries, a scientific collection he inspected in geneva, and his experiences of travelling with the king, ´ j´ai prié mr kurth de vous donner des nouvelles de mon voyage et des courses très intéressantes que j´ai pu faire dans les carrières de candoglia et de baveno au lac maggiore, dans les monts eugané ceux au sud de padoue et dans la vallée de fassa au tyrol où sont les granites bien certainement postérieurs au coleain (?) coquilles sur lesquels j´ai écrit une longue lettre à mr brochart. je vous supplie de lui dire en mon nom et celui de m. de bach qu´il dépend entièrement de lui de publier ce que cette lettre renferme de scientifique. a genève j´ai vu une collection d´oiseaux assez belle, on y a soigneusement évité d´avoir des oiseaux de suisse. il n´y a pas un poisson du lac de genève, mais on se vante qu´on y aura un jour des collections de tous les lacs de la suisse et de l´italie. la nouvelle collection de poissons pétrifiés que s´est formé le comte gazola à verone ne paroit pour le moins aussi belle que celle que vous avez à paris. depuis les derniers 8 jours que j´ai rejoint mon roi à milan, je vis dans une agitation perpétuelle, ce que vous avez vu à aix la chapelle ne vous en donne qu´une faible image. le nombre d´objets à voir, la necessité de changer de costume 4-5 fois pas jour, les visites des cours et tant d´autres misères bien vaines rendent la vie très agitée. ma santé a été constemment très bonne at le roi par sa bienveillance pour moi, adoucit ce qu´il pourroit avoir quelquefois de sensible. nous partons dans 4 jours pour venise, on reviendra ici, on ira vers le 3 nov. à rome et à naples pour être de retour ici à la fin de décembre. a cette époque le roi quittera l´italie. l´on pense que les négociations ne seroient pas terminées, mais on croit généralement qu´elles seront très courtes et qu´il n´y aura pas plus de guerre à l´est qu´à l´ouest´ (translation: ´ i have asked mr kurth to give you news of my trip and the very interesting excursions i was able to make to the quarries of candoglia and baveno on lake maggiore, to the euganean hills south of padua and to the fassa valley in tyrol, where there are granites that are certainly posterior to the coleain (?) shells about which i wrote a long letter to mr brochart. i beg you to tell him on my behalf and on behalf of mr de bach that it is entirely up to him to publish the scientific contents of this letter. in geneva, i saw a rather fine collection of birds, which carefully avoided including any birds from switzerland. there is not a single fish from lake geneva, but they boast that one day they will have collections from all the lakes of switzerland and italy. the new collection of petrified fish assembled by count gazola in verona does not appear to be as beautiful as the one you have in paris. since i rejoined my king in milan eight days ago, i have been living in a state of constant agitation, which what you saw in aachen gives you only a faint impression of. the number of things to see, the need to change clothes four or five times a day, visits to the courts and so many other vain miseries make life very hectic. my health has been consistently very good and the king, in his kindness towards me, softens what might sometimes be a sensitive condition. we are leaving for venice in four days, we will return here, and then we will go to rome and naples around 3 november, to be back here at the end of december. at that time, the king will leave italy. it is thought that the negotiations will not be concluded, but it is generally believed that they will be very brief and that there will be no more war in the east than in the west´ ). in concluding humboldt adds that he hopes to be with his correspondent in january, and requests ´ donnez moi de vos nouvelles ici (toujours adresse à vérone chez s.m. le roi de prusse)´ (translation: ´ send me news here (always addressed to verona, c/o his majesty the king of prussia)´ ). with integral address leaf in humboldt´s hand and bearing a red wax seal (small area of paper loss caused by the original opening of the letter). one small worm hole to the upper edge, only very slightly affecting one word of text, vg \n achille valenciennes (1794-1865) french zoologist who, early in his career, had been given the task of classifying animals described by humboldt during his travels in the american tropics (1799-1803).  \n giovanni battista gazzola (1757-1834) italian naturalist who assembled a famous collection of fossils.  \n humboldt, who had been in paris working on his monumental account of his expedition to south america, was summoned to attend frederick william at the congress of verona in autumn 1822. he was delighted with the swiss mountains and lakes and evidently also with the zoological and mineralogical discoveries he made

excessive impact during landing. these include hinged surfaces provided on the underside of the wings, which are embedded in the wings when not in use. devices are also known in which a sensing lever, when pivoted upon impact with the ground, acts on the elevator and shuts off the engine. the invention differs from these known devices in that the arresting surface, which is deployed by the rods striking the ground or is operated from the pilot´s seat, is provided at the rear of the aircraft´s fuselage.....the invention provides proper braking in the manner of a parachute, whereby the braking surface can be made considerably large due to the space available at the rear of the fuselage in order to exert a significantly greater braking effect than previously known devices. the drawing shows an embodiment of the invention.....on the rear end of the fuselage (a) an umbrella is mounted so as to be rotatable about the joint (e) in such a way that the umbrella surface either rests on the fuselage body when folded down in position 1 or folded up in position 2. this adjustment is effected by means of a two-armed lever.....´ , further concluding that the \n ´expanded canopy surface tne serves as a braking means and reduces the forward movement of the aircraft, thus shortening the run-out distance during landing and also preventing the aircraft from rolling over´ . with several

que je suis parti de saint-jean de morienne, qu'il était temps de quitter avec une grande famille et l'abort des gens que vous savez qui est chez moi.  après l'homme de du mont, un de mes laquais est mort fort subitement, cela m'a fait séparer de ma famille.  j'en ai envoyé une partie d'un côté vers grenoble ; l'autre par aiguebelette pour demeurer vers le pont de beauvoisin avec défense d'aller à lyon.  j'ai prié toute la noblesse qui était auprès de moi de prendre tous partis, les uns allant en piémont, les autres se retirant chez eux, avec ordre de ne passer point par lyon´ (translation: ´ i

footmen died very suddenly, which forced me to separate from my family.  i sent some of them to grenoble and the others via aiguebelette to stay near the pont de beauvoisin with orders not to go to lyon.  i begged all the nobility who were with me to take all sides, some going to piedmont, others retiring to their homes, with orders not to pass through lyon´ ) and continues ´ mais d'autant que je ne crois pas les français assez sages pour suivre les conseils et les ordres qu'on leur donne, je vous prie de faire que le roi commande, sur la supplication que je lui en fais, que nul ne soit reçu dans lyon, qu'il vienne du piémont, de saint-jean de morienne et de la savoie, y ayant de la peste de tous côté, et étant impossible de conserver lyon autrement ; ce qui se peut facilement avec

allowed into lyon who comes from piedmont, saint-jean de morienne or savoy, as there is plague everywhere and and it is impossible to protect lyon in any other way ; which can easily be done with this order´ ). richelieu further states ´ je m'en vais seul avec 12 ou 15 des miens au plus. m. le cardinal de bagne, mm. de bordeaux, de chasteneuf et d'alluye s'en viennent aussi. notre intention est, quand nous aurons passé grenoble, de changer d'habits et de toutes choses.  nonobstant toutes ces précautions, mon dessein est de m'arrêter en quelque village proche de lyon, pour y faire tel séjour que leurs majestés jugeront à propos ; tant pour montrer l'exemple, que pour être tout à fait exempt de soupçon de mauvais air. je recevrai, s'il vous plaît, par le chemin, des nouvelles sur ce sujet´

set an example and to be completely free from suspicion of bad air. i will receive news on this subject along the way, if you please´ ) and warns that ´ les courriers qui viendront dorénavant de l'armée de piémont et de savoie doivent être arrêtés aux portes de lyon, où l'on prendra leurs lettres, que l'on verra après avoir été parfumées´ (translation: ´ couriers arriving from the armies of piedmont and savoy must be stopped at the gates of lyon, where their letters will be taken and checked after being perfumed´ ). a final paragraph, in another hand, states ´ monsieur d'orléans étant décédé je vous prie de m'envoyer les brevets pour m. de châteauneuf et remercier le roi encore une fois de la grâce qu'il nous a faite. ce pendant je demeure, monsieur, votre très affectionné à vous

richelieu's first secretary, and the last paragraph was written by pierre cherré (1607-1689), another of the cardinal's secretaries from 1629 onwards. a letter of engaging content and historical

particularly richelieu and marie de medici. at the height of his power he was the second most powerful man in france after richelieu himself.  \n  the present letter was written during the black death epidemic that ravaged savoy in the summer of 1630, causing thousands of deaths. in may, king louis xiii, wishing to become master of savoy, had invaded the country. but after being victorious, he had to turn back in july in the face of the epidemic.  on 16th august, the day before writing this letter, the king wrote to richelieu: \u2018my cousin, i am very concerned for you since i heard that dumont's valet had fallen ill with the plague in your lodgings. i beg you to leave this evil place as soon as you can...\u2019 richelieu left to join the king in lyon, where he arrived on 23rd august.  \n the letter demonstrates the vigorous measures richelieu wished to put in place to ensure that no one who might be carrying the bacillus entered lyon, and also provides a concrete sense of the dangers of the black death and the precautions to be taken: changing clothes and \u2018perfuming\u2019 letters before opening them.  \n the black death epidemic that struck france between 1628 and

concerne ceux qui ne professent pas la religion catholique ( ´tariff appended to the edict concerning those who do not profess the catholic religion´ ) and lists the financial costs of the various legal procedures required by the new status of protestants: marriage declarations, birth certificates, death certificates, etc. signed by the king at the conclusion and again also bearing the countersignature of baron de breteuil. the two documents are bound together with the original green and red cords. an important pair of historical documents signed at a pivotal moment in the history of religious freedom in france. some light, uniform age toning and light staining to the first page, as to be expected, and the interior pages generally much cleaner. about vg \n the edict of versailles, signed by king louis xvi on 7 th november 1787, was an official act that gave non-catholics in france the access to civil rights formerly denied to them, which included the right to contract marriages without having to convert to the catholic faith, but it denied them political rights and public worship. the edict was registered in the parlement of paris during the ancien régime on 29 th january 1788. its successful enactment was caused by persuasive arguments by prominent french philosophers and literary personalities of the day, including anne-robert-jacques turgot, the american benjamin franklin, and especially guillaume-chrétien de lamoignen de malesherbes, minister to king louis xvi, in conjunction with jean-paul rabaut saint-étienne, representative of the protestant community in france.  \n in april 1598, king henry iv, through the edict of nantes, established freedom of protestant worship in france. in october 1685, through the edict of fontainebleau, king louis xiv revoked this edict, once again prohibiting protestant worship. enforcement of the revocation relaxed under the reign of king louis xv but remained law for a century.  \n under the edict of versailles, roman catholicism continued as the state religion of the kingdom of france, but relief was offered to non-catholic worshippers including calvinist huguenots, lutherans, and jews.  \n the act aroused fierce opposition in the parliaments, which sent \u2018remonstrances\u2019 to the king on the subject, and among the clergy and the population. the parliament of paris declared \u2018the edict allowing protestants only to engage in commerce, the arts and crafts is not sufficient for parliament. it demands that the edict formally exclude non-catholics from the judiciary, public education and local government.\u2019 but the king stood firm and responded by ordering the registration without modification of the edict of tolerance granting protestants civil status.  \n whilst the edict of versailles did not proclaim freedom of religion across france, which would occur only by the declaration of the rights of man and citizen of 1789, it was however an important step in pacifying religious tensions and officially ended religious persecution in france.  \n  an extremely rare document of historical importance: a vellum copy of the edict was sent to each of the thirteen parliaments of france, with the name of the parliament inserted in manuscript. it was then printed on paper in 1788. the present edict is the one sent to the parliament of libourne, i.e. that of bordeaux. the parliament of bordeaux had been exiled to libourne in august 1787 in retaliation for its protest against the formation of provincial assemblies. these newly established assemblies were endowed with prerogatives that limited the powers of the parliaments. the original manuscript copy of the edict, in a secretarial hand, is housed in the french national archives."},"estimateMax":15000,"lotNumber":"903","title":{"es":"louis xvi: (1754-1793) an extremely rare copy of the edict of tolerance signed by king louis

concern me in terms of the best operation of the société, it is certainly not the automatic transcription of gossip that i am going to echo to you! i therefore find it difficult to accept the wording of the first paragraph of your letter of 25 october, the terms of which, you will agree, are addressed more to one of your employees than to the sovereign prince!! i will attribute this wording to

mes souhaits et mes espoirs dans divers domaines. ce document peut et doit vous server utilement, je l´ai rédigé dans ce souci et je pense que cela ne fera aucun doute dans votre esprit. avant de terminer cette letter, je vous réponds sur certaines questions continues dans votre letter: monte-carlo beach \u2013 il est necessaire de transformer cet ensemble en club, et je crois que la meilleurs formule serait de creer cet ensemble, don\u2019t je parle depuis si longtemps, groupant les tennis et le beach, le tout pouvant s´appeler \u201cmonte-carlo country club\u201d, suivant la formule américains qui connait déjà des succès dans toutes les villes d´amérique\u2026\u2026.collection de galea \u2013 je ne sui spas absolument fixé sur l´implantation de cette collection au rez-de-chaussée des nouveaux locaux du gouvernement; c´était une possibilité. il existe un circuit touristique que vous connaissez don\u2019t les cars et les touristes ne s´écartent pas, c´est pour cela que j´estimais que placer cette collection au rocher risquait de la faire visiter par un nombre plus important de tourists. l´installer à monte-carlo n´est pas une mauvaise formule, à condition qu´elle n´ait aucune association avec les jeux ou les activités du casino. pour ma part, je ne pense pas que cette collection puisse trouver sa place à l´ancien sporting d´hiver avant que le jeu quitte cet établissement pour s´installer dans le nouveau sporting été-hiver du terreplein du larvotto\u2026\u2026.amenagement du terreplein du larvotto \u2013 dans le compte-rendu qui m´a été fait de la réunion de la commission de coopération du 4 novembre, je vois qu´il est question pour le sporting club du larvotto, de l´appeler \u201cpalais d´été et d´hiver\u201d. je n´aime pas du tout cette appellation, et je voudrais que vous la fassiez supprimer d´ores et déjà de tous projets, plans, etc\u2026..il n´existe qu´un seul palais en principauté, et c´est celui du prince, au rocher. une confusion a déjà existé avec le \u201cpalais du gouvernement\u201d, résidence du ministre d´etat, que je m´efforce encore de faire appeler \u201cminstère d´etat\u201d!.........on peut créer sur ce terre plein, autour du sporting club nouveau et de l´hotel, un parc dans lequel des bungalows de haut luxe seraient construits, loués ou vendus et quelques immaubles de 4 à 6 étages maximum, comportant un appartement par étage, de haut standing et de grands clients de la société.........quartier residentiel \u2013 je crois que ceci est très important, car petit à petit la principauté perd des quartiers résidentiels qu´elle avait avant, constitués par des villas dans des zones de verdure; il faut à nouveau reconstituer cette formule........projet d´hotel sur les terrains du sea club \u2013 vous savez l´impérieuse nécessité de plus en plus évidente pour monte-carlo d´augmenter son potentiel hotelier, si nous voulons faire oeuvre utile en matière de tourisme durant toute l´année\u2026\u2026vous savez fort bien que je n´ai pas un gout particulier pour la chaine \u201cholliday inn\u201d et que si j´ai accueilli leur projet avec un certain enthousissme, c´est qu´il représentait pour moi une des premières et des seulés chaines d´hotels ayant vraiment l´intention de financer, de construire et d´exploiter un hotel nouveau en principauté\u2026\u2026..je crois ne pas me tromper en affirmant que l´investissement \u201cpierres et béton\u201d particulièrement en matière de construction hotelière est pour la principauté un excellent investissement, car au moins celui-là reste!.......personnellement, il me parait tout à fait normal que pour un grand hotel nouveau de qualité, qui se construit, la s.b.m. permette, sous une forme qui lui convient le mieux, que des jeux soient exploités dans l´enceinte de l´hotel; je ne crois pas que cela puisse faire du tort au casino, au contraire, cela restimulera parmi une plus large clientèle la relance du jeu´ (translation: \n ´the attached long memo will give you my thoughts and express my wishes and hopes in various areas. this document can and should be useful to you, i have written it with this in mind and i think that there will be no doubt in your mind. before ending this letter, i will answer some of the questions in your letter: monte-carlo beach \u2013 it is necessary to transform this complex into a club, and i believe that the best formula would be to create this complex, which i have been talking about for so long, grouping the tennis and the beach, all of which could be called \u2018monte-carlo country club\u2019, following the american formula which is already successful in all the cities of america\u2026\u2026.de galea collection \u2013 i am not absolutely set on the location of this collection on the ground floor of the new government offices; it was a possibility. there is a tourist circuit that you know, which the coaches and tourists do not deviate from, which is why i thought that placing this collection on the rock would increase the number of tourists visiting it. installing it in monte-carlo is not a bad idea, provided that it has no association with the games or activities of the casino. for my part, i do not think that this collection can find its place in the former winter sporting club before the game leaves this establishment to move to the new summer-winter sporting club on the larvotto esplanade\u2026\u2026.development of the larvotto esplanade - in the report i received of the meeting of the cooperation commission on 4 november, i see that there is talk of calling the sporting club du larvotto the \u2018summer and winter palace\u2019. i don't like this name at all, and i would like you to remove it immediately from all projects, plans, etc. there is only one palace in the principality, and that is the prince's palace on the rock. there has already been some confusion with the \u2018palais du gouvernement\u2019, the residence of the minister of state, which i am still trying to get them to call the \u2018ministry of state\u2019!.......on this open space, around the new sporting club and the hotel, a park could be created in which luxury bungalows would be built, to be rented or sold, and a few buildings of 4 to 6 storeys maximum, with one apartment per floor, for high-standing and important clients of the company........residential district \u2013 i believe this is very important, because little by little the principality is losing the residential districts it had before, made up of villas in green areas; this formula must be recreated.........hotel project on the sea club site - you know the increasingly urgent need for monte-carlo to increase its hotel potential if we want to make a useful contribution to tourism throughout the year... you know very well that i don't have a particular liking for the holiday inn chain and that if i welcomed their project with a certain enthusiasm, it was because it was one of the first and only hotel chains that really intended to finance, build and operate a new hotel in the principality\u2026\u2026..i think i am right in saying that the \u2018bricks and mortar\u2019 investment, particularly in hotel construction, is an excellent investment for the principality, because at least this one will last!.......personally, i think it is quite normal that for a large, new, quality hotel that is being built, the s.b.m. allows, in a form that suits it best, games to be operated within the hotel grounds; i do not believe that this could be detrimental to the casino, on the contrary, it will stimulate the revival of gambling among a wider clientele´ ) and in concluding adds \n ´j´ai moi-meme recu d´amis et de connaissances des critiques concernant la baisse de qualité de service des chambres, des restaurants et meme la baisse de qualité dans la nourriture. cette baisse, je l´ai constaté moi-meme à plusieurs reprises lors de déjeuners ou diners dans les

two pages (separate leaves), 4to, n.p. (switzerland), n.d. ( ´thursday ´; summer 1957), to morgan [hudgins]. the princess states that she has just received her friend´s letter regarding the imperial ball, although politely declines the invitation to attend ( ´conrad hilton asked us to the same affair last year. it is just too far for one evening and november is a very busy time for us in monaco´ ) and continues to write at length in disconcertment about her friend gant gaither and a book he had recently published, ´gant is very amusing and great fun to be around and he was always so sweet and such a good friend to me, that is why i was so hurt and disappointed when he chose the loyaltie (sic) (& royalties) of henry holt instead of considering a friendship. i was a bit embarrassed when gant first asked me if he could write a book (that would be mostly photographs) on the wedding and monaco. it was an odd thing for a friend to want to do, but because he was a friend i said yes. he felt i had doubts and assured me that it would be done with great taste and i would certainly be pleased......you know how i hate personal things printed and gant knows that too. in new york he told me that a few changes were being made and i begged to see any part of it as i was getting anxious......gant always said that it was in such a rough state that he couldn´t show it. finally in march or the end of feb. he sent me the galleys. i nearly collapsed when i saw the cover...the story of grace kelly....i just couldn´t believe it. gant has an amusing way of telling a story but in print it loses the humour, and i found the whole thing so unbearably personal and in bad taste....the few things i asked him to take out from what i have seen quoted in columns were never taken out. i should have learned that lesson long ago but i don´t know why i am such a sucker to go on believing people. no writer yet has ever kept his words about cuts. gant has me saying things that i have never uttered and that is the most infuriating part. anything a person has said that i have been in the same room with is always attributed to me. i should be used to it but i guess i never will.....gant asked me to write him a letter or note saying that i approved of the project. like a fool i did, without mentioning a title or anything. i didn´t fully realise what it was about and what exactly the note was for (as i was not really at my mental best at the time). so i signed this note which will give gant gaither permission to write whatever he likes......about me. i am stuck.´ the princess further reflects ´the fact that the book is boring and full of slop is not the point and with all of the other slop that has been written i am really beyond caring very much, but the principle of the thing annoys [the] hell out of me...that i could have been such a sucker and that a friend took advantage of me.....he considered....everyone else before me. besides a friend´s job above all is discretion. enough about that, it is something i would like to forget´ . the princess concludes her letter by briefly writing on other topics, ´we have had a wonderful summer here in switzerland and i hate the thought of going home. our baby [princess caroline, born in january 1957] has a tooth and oliver is the father of six beautiful puppies. i am not looking forward to the trip to monaco with nine dogs, not to mention baby and equipment.....burt lancaster would

ii: (1712-1786) king of prussia 1740-86, known as frederick the great. a very rare autograph letter with extremely interesting content by the king of prussia to voltaire, a.l.s., ` frederic´, as king, one page, 4to, postdam, 12th december 1770, to françois-marie arouet, voltaire, in french. at the time of this letter, the long and troubled relationship between voltaire and frederick ii was already long-standing, dating back to 1736. after a period of great enthusiasm and mutual admiration, voltaire returned from his two-year stay in berlin disenchanted. once the philosopher had settled in switzerland, their correspondence resumed, with voltaire even serving as an intermediary in the restoration of peace between france and prussia during the seven years' war. the king starts his letter, referring to himself as \" the damned philosopher\", and in an amusing way and in the third person states in part ` le damné de philosophe contre lequel vous êtes en colère ne se contente pas de raisonner à perte de vue ; il se met à rêver, et il veut que je vous envoie ses rêveries. pour me débarrasser de ses importunités, j\u2019ai été obligé de me conformer à ses volontés. voici ses fariboles, que je joins à ma lettre. ne m\u2019accusez pas d\u2019indiscrétion. si ce fatras vous ennuie, rangez-le dans la catégorie de barbe-bleue et des mille et une...´ (translation: \" the damned philosopher you're angry with doesn't just reason endlessly; he starts dreaming, and he wants me to send you his reveries. to get rid of his importunities, i was obliged to comply with his wishes. here are his nonsense, which i enclose with my letter. don't accuse me of indiscretion. if this jumble bores you, put it in the category of bluebeard and the thousand and one. .\") further frederick ii continues with this astonishing philosophical text which constitutes an allegory of the fight of the writers of the enlightenment, led by voltaire, against the \"infamous\", namely religion, saying ` je ne crois pas, comme vous le dites, que moustapha ni bien d\u2019autres s\u2019en inquiètent. il n\u2019y a que ceux qui suivent le sens de la sentence grecque : \"connais-toi toi-même\" qui veulent savoir ce qu\u2019ils sont, et qui, à mesure qu\u2019ils avancent en connaissances, sont obligés d\u2019oublier ce qu\u2019ils avaient cru savoir...´ (translation: \"i do not believe, as you say, that mustafa or many others are concerned about this. only those who follow the meaning of the greek saying: \"know thyself\" want to know what they are, and who, as they advance in knowledge, are obliged to forget what they thought they knew...\") further again, and before concluding, the king refers to the church and religion, and do not forget voltaire's fundamental lesson, which is to approach the most serious subjects with levity, and, consequently, smiles at himself and at what he presents as lucubrations, stating ` le grand cordelier de saint-pierre me paraît un homme qui sait à quoi s\u2019en tenir ; mais il est payé pour ne pas révéler les secrets de l\u2019église, et je parierais qu\u2019il s\u2019embarrasserait beaucoup plus d\u2019avignon que de la jérusalem céleste. pour moi, je m\u2019avertis d\u2019être discret, et de ne pas importuner un homme auquel il faut se faire conscience de dérober un moment. ses moments sont si bien employés que je lui en souhaite beaucoup, et qu\u2019il puisse durer autant que sa statue...´ (translation: \" the grand cordelier of saint-pierre seems to me to be a man who knows what to expect; but he is paid not to reveal the secrets of the church, and i would bet that he would be much more concerned with avignon than with the heavenly jerusalem. as for me, i warn myself to be discreet, and not to bother a man from whom one must be aware of stealing a moment. his moments are so well spent that i wish him many, and that he may last as long as his statue... \") an exceptionally interesting content letter by king

committed on november 12th 1918, and subsequently, and to the will to right the injustice committed against their rulers and their homeland. the south slavic parts of the old dual monarchy have long

to provide independent advice and counsel on the king's constitutional problems. initially the king attempted to convert him into a champion of his cause hoping that hoare would speak up in defence of his right to marry when the matter came up for formal discussion in the cabinet. in the king's memoirs a king's story (1951) he recounted this first meeting, \"but i failed to win him as an advocate. he was sympathetic; but he also was acutely conscious of the political realities. mr. baldwin, he warned me, was in command of the situation: the senior ministers were solidly with him on this issue. if i were to press my marriage project on the cabinet i should meet a stone wall of opposition. i saw mr. duff cooper at the palace later the same day.....he was as encouraging and optimistic as sam hoare had been pessimistic and discouraging.\"  \n  \n hoare's second meeting with the king took place at the end of november, about which the king wrote, \"at this juncture, the scene shifted momentarily to stornoway house where max beaverbrook, ever since his return from america, had worked feverishly to rally support for me in whatever quarters it might be found.....mr. baldwin was aware of what max beaverbrook was up to; and no doubt hoping to check the forces beginning to rally round my cause, he despatched sir samuel hoare on sunday, the 29 th , to explain the attitude of the government towards the king. the message which the first lord of the admiralty bore was ominous indeed. it was that the ministers stood with mr. baldwin---\"no breach exists: there is no light or leaning in the king's direction.\" then the first lord fired his second salvo. \"the publicity, \" he said, \"is about to break.\" many ministers, he added, were restless and dissatisfied over the failure of the press to publish facts of a crisis already the talk of the rest of the world. he stressed mr. baldwin's desire that the press, like the cabinet, should form an unbroken front against the proposed marriage. it was an undisguised invitation for max beaverbrook to change sides. his answer was: \"i have already taken the king's shilling, i am a king's man.\"  \n on 4 th december the king learned of an earlier meeting between beaverbrook and hoare, of which he commented \"so the day had not been all debits as far as i was concerned. from stornoway house max beaverbrook, sensing the favourable upsurge in public opinion, had steadily hammered away on the theme of delay. i must not allow myself, he urged, to be harried and hurried into precipitous action. he had seen sir samuel hoare again, and in conversation with him had formed the impression that many ministers were troubled by the turn the crisis had taken, and would welcome a withdrawal of my request for advice on the morganatic marriage proposal. but i was wearied to the point of exhaustion.\"  \n  \n finally during the morning of 10 th december 1936 (the day hoare wrote the present letter to beaverbrook) the king

versailles, comprising vittorio emanuele orlando (1860-1953) italian prime minister 1917-19, david lloyd george (1863-1945) british prime minister 1916-22, woodrow wilson (1856-1924) american

with an acknowledgement that the misery and suffering in russia described by nansen in his letter appeals to the sympathies of all peoples, remarking ´it is shocking to humanity that millions of men, women and children lack the food and the necessities which make life endurable´ , and continuing ´the governments and peoples whom we represent would be glad to cooperate, without thought of political, military or financial advantage, in any proposal which would relieve this situation in russia. it seems to us that such a commission as you propose would offer a practical means of achieving the beneficient results you have in view, and could not, either in its conception or its operation, be considered as having any other aim than the \"humanitarian purpose of saving life\".´ the leaders continue to add that there are great political difficulties to be overcome owing to the exisiting situation in russia, ´but if the existing local governments of russia are as willing as the governments and peoples whom we represent to see succor and relief given to the stricken peoples of russia, no political obstacle will remain´ , and also warn of difficulties with supply, finance and transport, as well as of distribution within russia itself, ´the problem of supply we can ourselves hope to solve, in connection with the advice and cooperation of such a commission as you propose. the problem of finance would seem to us to fall upon the russian authorities. the problem of transport of supplies to russia we can hope to meet with the assistance of you own and other neutral governments whose interest should be as great as our own and whose losses have been far less. the problems of transport in russia and of distribution can be solved only by the people of russia themselves, with the assistance, advice and supervision of your commission´ . the big four further explain ´subject to such supervision, the problem of distribution should be solely under the control of the people of russia themselves. the people in each locality should be given, as under the regime of the belgian relief commission, the fullest opportunity to advise your commission upon the methods and the personnel by which their community is to be relieved. in no other circumstances could it be believed that the purpose of this relief was humanitarian, and not political, under no other conditions could it be certain that the hungry would be fed. that such a course would involve cessation of all hostilities within definitive lines in the territory of russia is obvious. and the cessation of hostilities would, necessarily, involve a complete suspension of the transfer of troops and military material of all sorts to and within russian territory. indeed, relief to russia which did not mean a return to a state of peace would be futile, and would be impossible to consider´, and conclude their letter by informing nansen that ´under such conditions as we have outlined, we believe that your plan could be successfully carried into effect, and we should be prepared to give it our full support´ . loosely contained within a handsome hardcover presentation folder of red cloth and quarter leather and with a gilt stamped title to the spine. letters signed by each of the council of four are extremely rare, and the present example is enhanced by its fine content and

humanitarian and polymath, nobel peace prize winner 1922.   \n in the summer of 1913, nansen had travelled to vladivostok as part of a delegation investigating a possible trade route between western europe and the siberian interior. as a result of his experiences, the life and culture of the russian peoples aroused in nansen an interest and sympathy he would carry through to his later life.  on the outbreak of world war i in 1914, norway declared its neutrality, alongside sweden and denmark, and nansen was appointed as the president of the norwegian union of defence.  within a few months of the war's end in november 1918, a draft agreement had been accepted by the paris peace conference to create a league of nations. as a means of resolving disputes between nations by peaceful means. the foundation of the league at this time was providential as far as nansen was concerned, giving him a new outlet for his restless energy. he became president of the norwegian league of nations society, and although the scandinavian nations with their traditions of neutrality initially held themselves aloof, his advocacy helped to ensure that norway became a full member of the league in 1920, and he became one of its three delegates to the league's general assembly. in april 1920, at the league's request, nansen began organising the repatriation of around half a million prisoners of war, stranded in various parts of the world. of these, 300,000 were in russia which, gripped by revolution and civil war, had little interest in their fate.  nansen continued this work for a further two years until, in his final report to the assembly in 1922, he was able to state that 427,886 prisoners had been repatriated to around 30 different countries. the series of humanitarian initiatives undertaken by the international committee of the red cross, and headed by nansen, became known as the nansen mission.  the mobilisation effort began in august 1921 and the first programmes in russia began soon after, with the signing of an agreement of assistance between nansen and georgy chicherin, which provided aid to mitigate starvation in russia and ukraine.  even before this work was complete, nansen was involved in a further humanitarian effort. on 1st september 1921 he accepted the post of the league's high commissioner for refugees. his main brief was the resettlement of around two million russian refugees displaced by the upheavals of the russian revolution.  at the same time, he tried to tackle the urgent problem of famine in russia; following a widespread failure of crops around 30 million people were threatened with starvation and death. despite nansen's pleas on behalf of the starving, russia's revolutionary government was feared and distrusted internationally, and the league was reluctant to come to its peoples' aid.  \n while attending the conference of lausanne in november 1922, nansen learned that he had been awarded the nobel peace prize for 1922. the citation referred to ´his work for the repatriation of the prisoners of war, his work for the russian refugees, his work to bring succour to the millions of russians afflicted by famine, and finally his present work for the refugees in asia minor and thrace´. nansen donated the prize money to international relief efforts."},"estimateMax":15000,"lotNumber":"990","title":{"es":"[paris peace

reminded the house of commons of america's growing population, its industry and its wealth. north tried to defeat the colonist rebellion by military force, and british and american forces clashed in 1775 (burke was appalled by celebrations in britain of the defeat of the americans in new york and pennsylvania) and, of course, the declaration of american independence came in 1776. on american independence burke wrote: ´i do not know how to wish success to those whose victory is to separate from us a large and noble part of our empire. still less do i wish success to injustice, oppression and absurdity´.  \n king george iii´s touchiness when it came to the subject of his american colonies is well known, and this may well explain burke´s rather hesitant tone in the

risked their careers and their capacity to be in public life of use to their fellows, because they felt that the course my colleagues and i were taking was right and that they must therefore support it. as prime minister i am concerned at this election to see that the nation gets the strong and stable government which it needs; and i can honestly say that your return would add greatly to the strength and stability of the government, for we shall have great need on the government benches of men and women of different views and sympathies. it would not be desirable to give a government such a mandate as we ask for unless it comprehended powerful groups of independent men of different outlook so that every decision may be the result of thorough examination. in addition, i am naturally anxious for the fate of you and the rest of the small band of candidates who are fighting with little organisation a battle of high principle. we cannot allow the movement to which i have given the great part of a lifetime to degenerate into a puppet controlled by a machine. i am appealing as head of the government for a free hand to deal firmly and effectively with the many pressing questions which face the country.......we shall carry on together our old work for peace; we shall strive for international settlements which will put an end to impossible efforts to pay vast sums in war debts and reparations; we shal watch vigilantly the effect of the devalued currency on the standards of life of our people and shall not hesitate to take action regarding it.´ . a letter of stirring

strikes me as being apt to be regarded by our labour opponents as a bit of arm flinging and gesticulation. they would say, for instance, \"why ask your staff to join a trade union? why not make trade union membership a condition of employment?\" as you know, they are very anxious to make all their views compulsory! the last sentence advising employers to concede the right of any employee to join a union is rather weak.....the point about the fourth resolution is that compulsory arbitration has never emerged with added strength from any thorough investigation that has been made into its practical possibilities´ . \n also including a carbon typed copy of titler´s trade union policy resolutions as referred to by macdonald, two carbon typed copies of related letters, one to macdonald in

he's made the gesture - and anyway he'd completely lost interest in getting up now. he lay back and did not remember any more' . \n  \n having been on the brink of death, bader recovered, retook flight training, passed his check flights and then requested reactivation as a pilot, although was retired against his will on medical grounds. after the outbreak of world war ii in 1939, however, bader returned to the raf and was accepted as a pilot. he scored his first victories over dunkirk during the battle of france in 1940 and then participated in the battle of britain."},"estimateMax":600,"lotNumber":"1074","title":{"es":"bader douglas: (1910-1982)"},"url":"https://es.bidspirit.com/ui/lotPage/iaa/source/catalog/auction/60954/lot/139537/view","tags":["escollectibles_autographs","escollectibles_booksmagazinespaper","escollectibles_all","escollectibles"],"directSalePrice":400,"soldPrice":360,"lastUpdate":"2026-07-01T05:50:40.732Z","textCase":"lower","estimate":"\u20ac400 -

benito: (1883-1945) italian fascist dictator of world war ii. an interesting d.s., mussolini , five pages (separate leaves), 4to, n.p., n.d. the document, in english, is an orginal typescript of an interview conducted by mussolini with major e. w. polson newman and is entitled mussolini speaks on europe today. the text bears a number of additions and deletions in newman´s hand and states, in part, ´ i admit that the political and economic situation in europe today is bad, but i can assure you that the interests of italy lie in the direction of peace. i want peace for the further development of the fascist regime, so that italy may have suitable conditions in which to carry out further improvements\u2026...in communications\u2026...in the increase of cultivation, and in hydro-electric progress. i want italy to become a still greater country, and to be as self-supporting as possible.......with the heavy burden of world depression, it is all the more necessary that there should exist a peaceful atmosphere in which an economic recovery can take place. i agree with you\u2026...that 'the general policy of european co-operation and the status quo do not harmonize and cannot long continue to exist side by side'. there is a general attempt in europe today to have everything both ways, which is impossible. the nations must choose which course lies in their best interests and follow that course......the question of the polish corridor and that of the hungarian frontiers are serious problems......the conditions imposed upon the hungarians by the treaty of trianon cannot be regarded as justice, and we in italy.....would like to see something done to improve the position of these close neighbours......another question of the greatest importance to europe is that of 'disarmament'. it is at present impossible to express any opinion on the actual prospects\u2026. but it is satisfactory that it has been possible to arrange an international conference on the subject......a considerable reduction in the large sums of money spent on armaments would be a great help to the economic distress through which europe is now passing. but to disarm beyond the margin of safety would be the greatest folly. a nation must be ready and fit to defend itself against attack and to protect its interests when threatened by aggressive neighbours. the subject of 'reparations' has again arisen in an acute form, and something will sooner or later have to be done to set this matter on such a footing that europe is relieved of its evil effects on trade and commerce. the help of the united states will be necessary for a settlement of this question, but europe must settle her own differences herself and uphold her complete independence......you ask me about italy's economic relations with russia, and whether there is any question of these relations being extended to a political understanding......two countries with such entirely different systems of government and such widely divergent social principles could not possibly co-operate politically, but there seems no reason why they should not buy each other's goods.... as far as communism in europe is concerned, i think it is important to realise that the youth of today is usually either communist or fascist. they are seldom socialist. the time has now come when it may be said that socialism has definitely failed......socialism has merely produced unemployment and discontent, and has paved the way for communism......fascism, on the other hand, has much.....to show as results of its labours, and there is no better advertisement for the fascist system than the progress of the last ten years through the length and breadth of italy. if you compare the conditions now prevailing under socialist regimes with the rapid progress and general contentment arising out of hard work and national enterprises well carried out, you will have no difficulty in seeing that socialism is degrading, while fascism raises the moral and physical well-being of mankind. continual accusations are being made against the fascist regime in italy, and they come chiefly from people of the left who worship a false political ideal, and are ready to sacrifice the welfare of a whole nation in order to carry out the political principles to which they have become utter slaves......among the greatest enemies of fascism are the societies of freemasons, whose propaganda is always trying to discredit the present government in italy.......recently the italian troops in libya have been the object of their attacks. these brave men, who have penetrated far into the libyan desert under the most difficult conditions, have been accused of cruelty to the conquered native inhabitants. there is naturally no truth whatever in these accusations......what really is cruel is to bring false charges against these fine soldiers, who have undergone untold hardship and risked their lives for italy. you ask whether i think the communist danger to be a real one for europe. in france it is not a danger, nor do i take too serious a view of the danger in spain; but in germany, it is a very serious

etc. if you will let me know about how much you are willing to offer, i will then know whether it is worth while looking them out from amongst my papers´ , and campion´s letter, dated 3rd july 1962, is addressed to maggs bros., and states, in part, ´further to our conversation today re the interview between mussolini and mr. e. w. polson newman in about 1930, i am sending the original letter in mr. newman´s autograph, which i received in 1948 when he was editor of the oxford university press. the mussolini document was purchased by me, direct from mr. newman......i met him at his office.....and i remember how well he spoke of mussolini, who he knew well as a personal friend. as the letter will help you to authenticate the document......i am giving you permission to photostat the letter´. a single file hole appears in the upper left corner of each page, and some also have a few small pinholes and paperclip rust stains. about vg, 3 \n at the time of this interview, mussolini and his fascist party were beginning to gain momentum after a decade of struggle and organisation for social revolutionary change. in 1919, mussolini had organised the first fascio di combattimento; and by 1921 the violently nationalistic and anti-communist party had become solidified. the following year mussolini led his march on rome, at which time he was summoned by king victor emmanuel iii to form a government in his strife-tom country. assuming dictatorial powers, il duce undertook the rigorous persecution of his opponents, effectively quashing opposition to the fascist regime. until the late 1930s, it seemed that italians as a whole considered fascism a success, and the movement was admired by many throughout europe. through this political channel mussolini had succeeded in restoring italian self-confidence, had stabilized internal social order, and had put an end to the nearly continuous plague of post-war strikes. only later were there signs that a substantial number of people were aware that the fascist dictatorship was synonymous with inefficient government at home and what was quickly becoming a suicidal aggressiveness in political and military matters abroad. this aggressiveness, coupled with an all-out militarism, culminated in the formation of an alliance between italy and germany - the so-called rome-berlin axis - in 1936."},"estimateMax":3000,"lotNumber":"1106","title":{"es":"mussolini benito: (1883-1945) ´ it should never be forgotten that a communist germany in co-operation with soviet russia would constitute a

knew this brave little people knew that they would value their freedom above anything else in the world. the agony of this nation, whose youth, what remains of it, is now being departed to siberia by the soviets, as well, to complete what 10 years of bolshevist education could not achieve, is a shining memorial warning to all those in the western world who until yestarday believed in the possibility of coexistence.....what turned the drama of these events into a full-blown tragedy for the rest of europe was the anglo-french intervention at the suez canal. one will be able to accept everything that has been cited as an excuse for this intervention: the securing of the canal from the effects of the israeli attack, the prevention of powerful russian ´voluntary forces´being sent in support of nasser´s intended attack on israel. the immense arsenals found and seized by the israelis in the sinai prove that powerful russian ´voluntary forces´ destined to be deployed here. there is every indication that the kremlin wanted to use this presumed attack by nasser on israel to tear open the near-eastern flank of nato. the game the kremlin  \n is playing with the arab countries has long included this scheme. here it would strike a blow to the most sensitive point of the atlantic defenses and at the same time the oil supply of europe.....germany could also contribute to removing the canker of arab agitation: the camps of arab refugees from palestine which have become a breeding ground for anarchist propaganda. the arab states have already appealed to bonn to stop the annual payments of 310 million to israel, an aggressor nation. we have made these payments to atone for a terrible crime, but it is beyond doubt that these supplies of goods of all kinds also bolster israel´s war potential.....the outcome of the world crisis is completely uncertain. for us germans only a small measure of involvement is possible, but we should not entrench ourselves behind [the excuse] \n that we can do nothing in our situation. just as we would like to see the experience and wisdom of the spanish statesmen made use of in treating the arab problem, we also wish for our part
