Foerster, F.W. [Friedrich Wilhelm ]

[Als] Brief Note from a German Philosopher & Antifascist Who Fled Germany Before the Rise of the Nazis

[Biarritz], 1926. [1 pp.]. 8 x 5 inches. German academic & philosopher, Friedrich Wilhelm Foerster (1869-1966) spent his early career as a lecturer at a variety of institutions, including the University of Zurich, the University of Vienna, and the University of Munich. However at the onset of World War I, Foerster's open opposition to Germany's ruling class and German militariam had resulted in threats on his life and he resigned his teaching post in Germany in 1922 and fled Germany, settling in France. His books were burned in Germn in 1933 and he fled France around 1940, when the Nazis and Gestapo pursued him during their occupation there. He spent the following two decades in New York City, before returning to Switzerland in 1963. Written in English, and dated 28th July, 1926 from Biarritz, Foerster, while "on journey" through France, writes to a friend in Zurich. In full: "I have a very pleasant memory of our talk at the Zurichberg and I am indeed very sorry I cannot see you this time as I am travelling in France. But I am hoping to meet you another time. There are plenty of questions to discuss between us. Near fine, folded.

[Italian Risorgimento].[Leopardi, Monaldo]

Catechismo Sulle Rivoluzioni

[n.a.], [n.a.], 1832. Stitched self wrappers. 40 pp. 16mo. "Q. Does God's holy law permit rebelliousness against one's temporal Sovereign? R. Never, indeed, condemns it highly; for the sacred writing which, as you know, is the very word of God, declares that the High Official (Podesta) does not come from God, but whoever resists him, resists precisely the ordination of God, and thus proceeds to damnation." Thus begins Count Monaldo Leopardi's (1776-1847) counter-revolutionary Catechism on Revolutions, arguing that Christianity and the French Revolution are incompatible, that the rebellion is an ignominious revolt against the metaphysical and social order established by God, and that tradition is more important that abstract concepts of liberalism. Meant for use in schools, it was one of two essays published by Leopardi in 1832. Two editions were published in 1832 both rather uncommon. This edition without date and publisher (but which Sorbelli's "Opuscoli stampe alla macchia e fogli volanti riflettenti il pensiero politico italiano: [1830-1835" dates as 1832) is held by only two libraries: Univ. Conn. and Biblioteca Casanatense. Very good, lightly browned, a few lower fore edge corners folded, tiny marginal chip at leaf 16, and one closed tear on rear leaf, numeral inked on title, original stitching but perhaps removed from a later volume.
