Blue Mountain Books & Manuscripts, Ltd.Professionelle VerkäuferInscribed by Paul Desjardins to Lincoln MacVeagh "a mon aimable compagnon de voyage, M. Lincoln MacVeagh / Souvenir de Nevers / 29 dicembre 1913 / Paul Desjardins".
The statement on the title page "Seconde Edition" was convincingly challenged in an article published in Le Bibliomane moderne (June 10, 2022) by the French bookseller Bertrand Hugonnard-Roch, Librairie L'amour qui bouquine. He concludes after a careful side by side study of this edition with the so-called first edition that there is no distinction between the two apart from the title page.
At the end of the "Privilege du Roy" is the statement "Acheue d'imprimer pour la premiere fois, le 1. Avril, 1649". The book was printed by Antoine Vitre (1595–16740.
Paul Desjardins (1859-1940) 1940 was a French philosopher and journalist. For thirty years he hosted annual meetings of intellectuals attached to freedom of opinion, the Decades de Pontigny. For ten days (i.e. a decade) each year many people, famous or less famous, talked and discussed literary, philosophical or religious subjects. Every day, a writer, an academic or a scientist treated a subject such as: the rights of peoples, education and work, a new literary movement, the place of religion in today's life, etc.
From the library of Lincoln MacVeagh and his wife Margaret with their "Arcades ambo" bookplate. Lincoln MacVeagh (1890-1972), a Renaissance man, graduated from Harvard magna cum laude in 1913. He went on to study languages at the Sorbonne and became fluent in German, French, Spanish, Latin, Greek and Classical Greek. He served in the Atois, St. Mihiel and Meuse Argonne campaigns of World War I as an aide to the commanding general of the 80th Division and of the Ninth and Sixth Army Corps. He rose to the rank of Major. After the war he became a director of the Henry Holt and Company publishing firm where he became friendly with the poet Robert Frost. In 1923 he left the firm and founded the Dial Press. His name appears on the imprint of many of their publications. In 1933 President Roosevelt appointed him Minister to Greece. He followed presentation of his credentials with a speech in Classical Greek. While in Greece he conducted excavations beneath the Acropolis and made archeological contributions to the National Museum in Athens. He left Greece in 1941 when the German army over ran the country. From there he was appointed the first US Minister to Iceland where he negotiated agreements for the construction of the Keflavik airfield. In late 1942 he became Minister to the Union of South Africa and coordinated American wartime agencies there. In 1943 he was sent to Cairo as Ambassador so that he could assist the governments in exile of Greece and Yugoslavia. He returned to Athens as Ambassador in 1944. MacVeagh gave secret testimony before Congress concerning the Balkans in 1947, testimony that was an important factor in the formation of the Truman Doctrine. In 1948 as Ambassador to Portugal MacVeagh was influential in admitting her into NATO. In 1952 President Truman named him Ambassador to Spain. President Truman wrote to him on March 9, 1948: "On the occasion of your appointment as Ambassador to Portugal, I would like to make some personal expression of appreciation for the high services you have already rendered your country. During the past fifteen critical years you have served with distinction as Chief of the United states Missions to Iceland, the Union of South Africa, Yugoslavia and Greece. In this last post especially - as Minister from 1933 to 1941 and as Ambassador since 1943 - your scholarly statesmanship and diplomatic judgment have been of the utmost value. Very good .
Blue Mountain Books & Manuscripts, Ltd.Professionelle VerkäuferFrom the library of the Reverend Noble Everett (1747-1819), signed by him along the inner edge of the title page. The Rev. Noble Everett is included in the list of those present at this Council.
Born in Woodbury, CT in 1747, Noble Everett graduated from Yale in 1772 and served as Chaplain in the Revolutionary Army. He was present at the Battle of White Plains. He was ordained in Wareham, Massachusetts in October of 1782. Noble Everett, together with the Reverend Jonathan Burr, organized the South Congregational Church or Third Church of Barnstable.

This pamphlet is illustrated with the publisher Samuel Armstrong's attractive pictorial ad, which depicts 3 domed pillars, each supported by a Holy Bible bracing shelves of books between them. Lists of religious figures and authors, including Luther, Calvin, Watts, and Mather, among many others, are printed in rows on the columns. Banners advertising the publisher "Samuel T. Armstrong, Printer and Bookseller" are held aloft by domes topping the pillars. Text advertising the work "The Platform of Church Discipline" is printed below.
The pamphlet begins with the "Results" of its meeting "By letters missive from the Congregational Church of Christ in Sandwich, under the pastoral care of the Rev. Jonathan Burr, and ecclesiastical council was convened, at the house of William Fessenden, Esq. in said town, on Tuesday 20th May, 1817; and continued by adjournments until Friday the 23d.." Listed among those present were the Rev. Joseph Lyman, representing Hatfield; the Rev. Noble Everett and Deacon Barnabus Bates, representing Wareham; the Rev. Thomas Andros and Brother Samuel Toby, representing Berkley; the Rev. Daniel Dana and Brother Benjamin Wyatt, representing Newburyport; the Rev. Samuel Worcester and Brother Thomas Needham, representing Salem; and the Rev. Oliver Cobb and Deacon Jesse Haskell, representing Rochester. The pamphlet makes mention that Reverend Burr (i.e. Jonathan Burr, 1757-1842) had sent the missive offering mutual council to the Church of the Rev. Goodwin (Ezra Shaw Goodwin, 1787-1833). The offer, rebuffed by Rev. Goodwin, concerns the council as there seems to be a conflict over who is the legitimate first or ancient Congregational Church in Sandwich. Good .
Blue Mountain Books & Manuscripts, Ltd.Professionelle VerkäuferSecond edition, with additional notes by Baluze.
Baluze dedicates this 1669 edition of the works of Salvian and Vincent of Lerins to Jacques-Nicholas Colbert, the archbishop of Rouen and the son of Jean-Baptiste Colbert, a statesman who served under Louis XIV. The contents include a Preface by Baluze followed by P.1-192 : "Salviani Massii. de Gubernatione Dei Lib. I - [VIII]", p. 193-216 : "Salviani Massii. Epistolae", p.217-312 : "Salviani Liber I. [-IV.] Adversus Avaritiam". Following a half title is the work of Vincent, p. 315-371: "Vincentii Lirinensis commonitorium."
The works of Salvian of Marseilles and Vincent of Lerins in this edition by Etienne Baluze was first published in Paris in 1663. Salvian's works were based on what is referred to as "Manuscript A". Manuscript A came from the abbey of St. Peter at Corbie in Northern France and is now housed in the Bibliotheque Nationale Francais in Paris. Baluze issued this Second Edition in 1669 with a voluminous section of notes (P. 373-442), and an appendix (p. 443-452). The volume concludes with a detailed index consisting of 32 pages (f. Ff3-Hh2).
Salvian of Marseilles (circa a.d.400- after 480) was a priest of Marseilles, an instructor of bishops and an ecclesiastical writer. His chief work is DE GUBERNATIONE DEI (On the Governance of God). He theorizes that God creates calamities in order to execute judgment upon the unfaithful.
Saint Vincent of Lerins (d. before 450) was an ecclesiastical writer whose Feast day is celebrated on May 24. He was a Semipelagian who opposed the doctrine of St. Augustine. His only known authentic work is the "Commonitorium". Written under the pseudonym Peregrinus it is best known for Vincent's maxim: "Moreover, in the Catholic Church itself, all possible care must be taken that we hold that faith which has been believed everywhere, always, by all."
Etienne Baluze (1630-1718), also known as Stephanus Baluzius, was secretary to the archbishop of Toulouse, Pierre de Marca and inherited all of the archbishop's papers upon his death. Based on these, he produced the first complete edition of Marca's "Treatise De libertatibus Ecclesiae Gallicanae" in 1663 and the "Marca hispanica" in 1688. Entering the service of Jean-Baptiste Colbert in 1667, Baluze was in charge of the minister's significant library. He was appointed to the post of king's almoner and then professor of Canon Law at the College de France. Taking up the history of the House of Auvergne just as the cardinal de Bouillon was seeking to prove that the La Tour family descended in a direct line from the 9th Century counts of Auvergne, he was inundated with false and forged documents and spurious genealogies such as that which had already been published by Christophe Justel. Its not surprising that Baluze was duped, as even Chorier, the historian of the Dauphiny, had included a forged deed in the second volume of his history. The cardinal the Bouillon had many enemies and a war of pamphlets began which eventually resulted in an inquiry which led to the arrest and conviction of Jean de Bar and other forgers. Despite this, Baluze was obstinate and was convinced that the documents were genuine and published two works based on, and including, all of these spurious deeds. Engulfed in disgrace, he was exiled to Tours until 1713.
From the library of geologist and mining engineer James Douglas, after whom Douglas, Arizona was named, with his bookplate on the front pastedown. Douglas, who was born in Quebec, spent much of his early life in Scotland. For many years, as a metallurgist and mining engineer, he was involved in several important Western American enterprises.

Blue Mountain Books & Manuscripts, Ltd.Professionelle Verkäufer"In the mid-1800s, some citizens of New York became alarmed at the neglect of the 'Sabbath Day' believing that with the increased number of immigrants to the city, it was being outstripped in its capacity to meet the needs of a moral and religious culture. They believed that the government and its laws were also not working towards the continued reverence of the Sabbath. The first meeting of the New York Sabbath Committee took place on April 1, 1857. The group consisted of about twenty members, including a number of leading Christians connected with eight denominations. The group did not have plans to undertake extreme measures in society; their primary goal was to remind the citizens of the importance of the Sabbath Day. They would do this via the pulpit, the press, and personal influence." - [Quoted from an article published by Columbia University Libraries].

Blue Mountain Books & Manuscripts, Ltd.Professionelle Verkäufer[Together with]: A one-page mimeo sheet outlining Annie Besant's "Transcontinental Lecture Route - 1926", giving the dates, from September 2 to November 20, 1926, the cities, the lecture halls and the hotels which will serve as the tour headquarters. The edges of that page are soiled with minor corner creases.
A copy of a letter to "Mr. Van Ness Harwood, President Harwood, Incorporated" from a Miss Gail Wilson. "Fulfilling Mr. Rogers' promise to you, I am sending herewith brief biographical notes which I sincerely trust contain the information you will need in connection with publicity for Dr. Annie Besant's coming visit to America." Eleazer Van Ness Harwood was a newspaper reporter for the New York World and he served as a publicist for people such as Marie Curie and Annie Besant. L.W. Rogers was the President of the Theosophical Society of America from 1920-1931. There are rust stains from a paper clip at the top of Gail Wilson's letter.
11 typed pages containing "Condensed Biographical Notes September, 1925", together with "Supplementary Notes" sent to Harwood by Miss Wilson. There are indentations and stains from a paper clip to the tops of several of these pages.
4-pages of mechanically reproduced extracts, pages 148-150, from "The Golden Book of the Theosophical Society 1875-1925". These pages recount "Difficulties in U.S.A. 1906". The top edges of these pages are darkened with a paper clip stain at the top of the last page.
A folding "Preliminary Announcement of Attractions 1926-1927" flyer mentioning Besant. "She will be accompanied by J. Krishnamurti; hailed as the new Messiah. He, however, will not lecture."
A 56-page booklet announcing the attractions to be presented by The Pond Bureau 1926-1927. There is a photo of Annie Besant with the note "Available September to November. All Dates Booked". Bound in printed red wraps, the covers of this 7-1/8 inch high by 5 inch wide booklet are slightly soiled with a vertical crease near the inner edge.
As Van Ness Harwood was an investigative reporter with New York World, a pioneering newspaper in "yellow" journalism, we have come to the conclusion that Margaret Thomas had sent the manuscript to him for his interest and that he passed it along to Pond as part of his promotional package.
There are a few corrections to typos penned throughout the manuscript.
Tightly folded for mailing, the typed carbon manuscript was once stapled twice along the left edge with minor staple holes to all but the first page which was roughly removed resulting in a longer vertical tear along the left edge, not affecting the text. The carbon manuscript is in otherwise bright condition.
"At periodic intervals from the first revelation of trouble in 1906 right up to the present day, there have been certain dark periods in the life of the Theosophical Society connected with the moral character of Mr. C.W. Leadbeater and later with that of some of his protégés in the society and especially the Liberal Catholic Church. They pertain to his sex teachings to boys – there are other sinister inferences. He stands self convicted of onanism teaching practices that are universally condemned. Nor can he take refuge in the statement that he has learned them from his “occult” sources.. Just as the 1906 trouble arose out of incidents in preceding years so did the 1912 which resulted in Mr. Jiddu Narayaniah's suit to recover possession of his two sons, J. Krishnamurti (whose portrait in the latter half of 1925 appeared in newspapers in practically every country of the world as “The Coming Christ”) and J. Nityananda. He desired to set aside the guardianship of Mrs. Besant which placed them in propinquity to Mr. Leadbeater and had recourse to law in the hope of achieving his object..Yet once more in the third cycle of trouble that began in 1921 and has continued practically without remission to the present day, the conflict was the outcome of hidden actions, with sinister appearances, happening again and again in the preceding years until their cumulative effect could not be ignored. As in 1906, so in 1912 and again in 1921.. In view of the great influence which Mrs. Besant exercises over many minds it is necessary to say plainly that she cannot be dissociated from these scandals. She cannot be ignorant of the character of men like Leadbeater and Wedgwood. Very good .

Blue Mountain Books & Manuscripts, Ltd.Professionelle VerkäuferFrom the library of the famous East Hampton, Long Island Presbyterian minister, the Reverend Samuel Buell, signed twice by him in 1753. During the Revolution he was very active in supporting the American cause. He was a close friend of Samson Occom, a native American who was a member of the Mohegan nation, and he preached at Occom's ordination as a Presbyterian cleric. Both Buell and Occom were powerful voices in the teachings of the Great Awakening. While remembered as a friend of the native American community on Long Island, he was also a prolific slaveholder. Buell has signed "Saml Buells Book 1753" on the front endpaper and at the head of the title page. A printed label under his signature on the endpaper records his gift of the book: "[ N 2 ] AARON WOOLWORTH's EX DONO Rev. S. BUELL, D.D." Aaron Woolworth (1763-1821) was Buell's son-in-law, having married Buell's daughter, Mary Buell Woolworth (1768-1849), on August 27, 1788. Aaron Woolworth was also a Presbyterian minister. On the verso of the front cover is a later label with the name "James Brown Thornton" and the pencil date of 1848. An earlier ownership signature dated 1699 has been crossed out by a later owner of the book and is not legible.
First published in 1669, this is the second edition. On the verso of the title page is the Imprimatur, October 12, 1668. The book is much more than a commentary on Psalm 130 and is rather a series of discourses. Owen was particularly moved by verse 4 of the Psalm: "But there is forgiveness with thee: that thou maist be feared". Pages 64 to 350 are devoted to this single verse. Fair .

Punshon writes to a Mr. Frendship: "I am quite unable to take any additional engagements. I am embarrased by the number I have".
