Einer von 9 Dokumentenbänden für das Genfer Schiedsgericht über finanzielle Ansprüche Englands durch die amerikanischen Beschlagnahmungen während des Nordamerikanischen Bürgerkrieges, den sogenannten "Alabama Claims". - "Am 15.9.1872 verurteilte ein in Genf tagendes Schiedsgericht Grossbritannien zur Zahlung einer hohen Entschädigung an die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, weil es im Sezessionskrieg seinen internat. Verpflichtungen zur Einhaltung strikter Neutralität nicht nachgekommen war. Gemäss Urteil beging die brit. Regierung eine schuldhafte Nachlässigkeit, indem sie zuliess, dass von ihrem Territorium aus zwanzig bewaffnete Schiffe -- darunter die Korvette "Alabama" -- an die aufständ. Südstaatler geliefert wurden. Der Genfer oder (geläufiger) Alabama-Schiedsspruch verdankt seine Bekanntheit einerseits seiner Bedeutung als Beispiel einer friedl. Konfliktregelung zwischen zwei Grossmächten. Zum andern stand bei dieser Affäre, die in den Vereinigten Staaten nach Beendigung des Bürgerkriegs hohe emotionale Wellen warf, für beide Länder polit., rechtl. und hinsichtl. des nationalen Prestiges sehr viel auf dem Spiel. Aus Schweizer Sicht ist erwähnenswert, dass der Schweizer Schiedsrichter, alt Bundesrat Jakob Stämpfli, im Schiedsverfahren eine entscheidende Rolle spielte und dass die Schlichtung dieses heiklen Streitfalls der Entwicklung Genfs zu einem internat. Forum förderl. war." (HLS). - Der vorliegende Band, aufwändig gebunden, vereinigt einen Teil der Korrespondenz zwischen einem Teil der Schiffe und der englischen Admiralität. - Titel mit gelöschtem Stempel des Schweiz. Bundesarchivs. Kanten leicht berieben. One of 9 volumes of documents for the Geneva Arbitration Court on the financial claims of England by the American seizures during the North American Civil War the so-called "Alabama Claims". - On 15.9.1872, an arbitral tribunal meeting in Geneva ordered Great Britain to pay high compensation to the United States of America because it had failed to meet its international obligations during the war of secession. It had failed to comply with its obligations to maintain strict neutrality. According to the judgement, the British government committed culpable negligence by allowing twenty armed ships -- including the "Alabama" corvette -- to rebel from its territory. Southerners were delivered. The Geneva or (common) Alabama arbitral award owes its fame on the one hand to its importance as an example of a peaceful, peaceful and peaceful world. Settlement of conflicts between two major powers. On the other hand, in this affair, which in the United States, after the end of the civil war, caused high emotional waves, a great deal was at stake for both countries politically, legally and in terms of national prestige. From a Swiss perspective, it is worth noting that the Swiss arbitrator, former Federal Councillor Jakob Stämpfli, played a decisive role in the arbitration process and that the arbitration of this delicate dispute has helped Geneva's development into an international centre of excellence. Forum." (HLS). The present volume, lavishly bound, unites part of the correspondence between some of the ships and the English admiralty. - Title with deleted stamp of Switzerland.

Überarbeitete Fassung der Ausgabe von 1837. - Wellcome 2, 138 (dort mit 1836 und only part III) des erfolgreichen populären zoologischen Werkes. - Auf dem fliegenden Vorsatz mit dem handschriftlichen Besitzvermerk "Edward A. Wilson. Oct. 1905", auf dem fliegenden Vorsatz, darunter von anderer Hand in Bleistift "Scott's last expedition. This book was taken to the Antarctic by E.A.Wilson 1910 - 1913". Obwohl die Innenfälze des Vorder- und Hinterdeckels angebrochen sind, das obere Kapital leicht angerissen und der Einbandbezug leicht fleckig, scheint mir persönlich der Zustand des Exemplares zu gut erhalten für einen Artefakten der berühmten Geschichte von Scotts 2. Antarktik Expedition, bei der Edward A. Wilson, zusammenn mit Scott und Henry „Birdie" Bowers am 29. März 1912 verstarb. Wilson (1872-1912), Mediziner und Zoologe, war bereits an der Discovery-Expedition von 1901-1904 als wissenschaftlicher Leiter beteiligt. Zurück von der mehrjährigen Reise erholte er sich im Sommer 1905 in Irland von den Strapazen der unzähligen öffentlichen Auftritten, Vorträgen und Einladungen. Dabei kam er in Kontakt mit dem Naturalisten Barrett-Hamiltonn der ihn als Illustrator für eine neue Monografie der " A History of British Mammals" engagierte. Wilson lebte im Herbst 1905 in Bushey, einem Künstlerort in der Nähe von London. Obwohl er keine akademische Kunstausbildung besass, wurden seine zoologischen Illustrationen zu Standards der Naturgeschichte Grossbritanniens. Über den Verbleib seiner Bibliothek scheint nichts bekannt zu sein. - Revised version of the 1837 edition - Wellcome 2, 138 (there with 1836 and only part III) of the successful popular zoological work. - With the handwritten ownership note 'Edward A. Wilson. Oct. 1905', on the flyleaf, underneath in another hand in pencil 'Scott's last expedition. This book was taken to the Antarctic by E.A.Wilson 1910 - 1913'. Although the inner folds of the front and back cover are cracked, the upper capital slightly torn and the cover slightly stained, the condition of the copy seems to me personally too well preserved for an artefact of the famous history of Scott's 2nd Antarctic expedition, during which Edward A. Wilson, together with Scott and Henry 'Birdie' Bowers, died on 29 March 1912. Wilson (1872-1912), a physician and zoologist, had already been involved in the Discovery Expedition of 1901-1904 as scientific director. After travelling for several years, he returned to Ireland in the summer of 1905 to recover from the strain of countless public appearances, lectures and invitations. He came into contact with the naturalist Barrett-Hamiltonn, who engaged him as an illustrator for a new monograph of 'A History of British Mammals'. In the autumn of 1905, Wilson was living in Bushey, an artists' village near London. Although he had no academic art training, his zoological illustrations became standards in the natural history of Great Britain. Nothing seems to be known about the whereabouts of his library.
The Commentaries of Sir Francis Vere, being diverse pieces of service, wherein he had command, written by himself in way of commentary. Published by William Dillingham, D.D.
1657 veau brun XIXe anglais, tr. dor. in-folio, (6ff.), 209pp., (1f.), 3 portraits, 7 planches doubles, Cambridge, John Field, printer to the famous University, 1657,
Général anglais au service des Pays-Bas.Sir Francis Vere [1560-1609] spent most of his life as a professional soldier and is rightly considered one of Elizabeth I's most able commanders. Volunteering for service at the age of twenty-five in the forces that Elizabeth I was sending to the Netherlands under Leicester, Vere was eventually given command of the English troops in the service of the United Provinces. The Commentaries describe in a "straightforward and soldierlike" [DNB] manner Vere's various campaigns against the Spanish forces that include the battle of Nieuport in 1600 and the siege of Ostend the following year. Vere managed to combine great military skills with shrewd diplomacy and was consulted on a number of key foreign policy issues concerning England's relationship with the Netherlands and Spain. His career culminated with the signing of the Treaty of Utrecht in April of 1609 which guaranteed independence to the Provinces. He died suddenly in August the same year and was buried in Westminster Abbey. Vere's Commentaries in the form of short notices were intended for private circulation only, but found their way into print after Vere's death when Dr. William Dillingham the Cambridge poet and scholar stumbled upon a transcribed copy of the original manuscript. From there Dillingham traced and collated other copies, eventually securing the autographed manuscript then in the possession of the Earl of Clare. Wing V 240.

The Art of Body-Loading and productions.
Bideford, Devon, The Surpreme Magic Compagny. (Nachdruck der Ausgabe von 1950). 4°. 40 Bl. Originalbroschur, geheftet.
Vervielfältigtes Typoskript. "Eddie Joseph (1899-1974) was a full-time professional performer, teacher and writer on things magical. Working under the name Eddie Jason, he played exclusive club and party dates in and around Calcutta and Bombay. He also conducted the School of Magic in Bombay. Eddie Joseph was a Baghdadi Jew from Calcutta where he was born. Most of his life he lived in India. Later he moved to England, working for Max Andrews. Contributions in magazines and internet claim he was born of English parents, which is obviously wrong. His interest in magic was aroused at an early age and at the age of twelve he saw his first big mystery show, Nicola. At eighteen, he became a part-time professional and remained so until 1945 when he became a full-time professional performer, teacher and writer. He was chosen to appear in the Silver Jubillee Show for King George V. He was also the first magician to do magic over the radio in India in 1933, making over 30 broadcasts from the All India Radio stations in Calcutta, Bombay and Lucknow. He had worked out an act in which he used no apparatus except ordinary and borrowed objects. He also did a mental act assisted by his wife, Sarah. For many years, Joseph was the Indian Representative of the I.B.M. and he was active in the Society of Indian Magicians. During World War II, he was drafted to do a turn in a revue for the entertainment of British and American servicemen. He and his wife traveled all over India for the balance of the war. - It's been said that he tried to invent one new trick every day. He wrote over 70 books and pamphlets and contributed many articles to Genii and The New Tops. Joseph's first contribution to The Linking Ring was in the September 1927 issue. The IBM Ring in Bombay, India is known as the Eddie Joseph Ring. Eddie Joseph passed away in England in June of 1974." (Magicpedia).
