Paris, 19. V, 1891. 3 SS. auf Doppelblatt. Gr.-8vo. An einen Monsieur Granier, wohl der französische Politiker Régis Frédéric Granier (1806-1894), auf dessen Frage, was er über Garibaldi denke: So man Republikaner und Franzose sei, könne man über Garibaldi nur eine Meinung haben: diesem Freiheitskämpfer ein ehrenhaftes Andenken zu bewahren: "[...] peut-on donc avoir des opinions variées sur ce grand patriote latin quand on est républicain et quand on est français? Mon sentiment est qu'on ne peut en avoir qu'une. Républicain on ne peut saluer qu'avec respect la mémoire de ce milicien de la liberté [?]". - Was Francesco Crispi anbelange, so sei dieser genau das Gegenteil von Garibaldi: "[...] Quant à Crispi sur lequel vous m'interrogez aussi c'est l'antipode de Garibaldi [...]". - Dieser habe den Dreibund nicht gemacht, war aber der würdige Erbe der Urheber dieses Paktes, zu dessen Umsetzung er mehr als alle anderen beigetragen habe: "[...] Il n'a pas fait la triple alliance, ce renouvellement de la sainte alliance, cette croisade des rois contre les peuples: elle était faite par d' autres que lui lorsqu'il est arrivé au pouvoir. Mais il a été le digne héritier des auteurs de ce pacte auquel il a plus que tout autre contribué à donner son maximum d'intensité [...]". - Naquet beschließt den Brief mit der Aussage, daß die drei an das Mittelmeer grenzenden Nationen Frankreich, Italien und Spanien Schwestern seien und in Zukunft entgegen jedem reaktionären Kalkül in Europa noch eine wichtige Rolle für die Verteidigung allgemeiner Freiheiten spielen werden: "Les trois nations qui … [Click Below for Full Description]

St. Peterburg 1891 (Memoires de LAcademie Imperiale des Sciences). 4to. 1 Bl., 24 S. mit 1 doppelblattgroße, teils farbigen Tafel mit mehreren Abbildungen und 1 Kartenskizze. Original-Broschur (kl.Randläsuren), unaufgeschnitten, ein gutes Exemplar. Sehr selten! - 1891 wurde Büchner auf eine handschriftliche Beschreibung der zweiten Expedition von Vitus Bering, die in der Kaiserlichen Bibliothek in Zarskoje-Sselo aufgefunden wurde. hingewiesen. Das Manuskript stammte von dem Schweden Swen Waxell (1701-1762), einem Mitglied jener Expedition. Waxell war unter Bering erster Offizier und übernahm nach Bering's Tod die Leitung der Expedition. Dieser überraschende Fund veranlasste Büchner zu sorgfältigen Studien über die zweite Bering'sche Expedition, als auch über die Seekuh anzustellen. Waxells Bericht enthielt nämlich zudem zwei Abbildungen der Seekuh. Als früheste Abbildung der Seekuh galt eine rohe Skizze von Pallas aus dem Jahre 1811. Sie war der Ausgangspunkt für alle späteren Darstellungen. Allerdings wird für die Skizze die Autorenschaft Stellers angenommen. Bekanntlich war der zweiten Bering'schen Expedition im Jahre 1837 der Zoologe Steller nachgesandt. Steller hatte das Glück auf der Beringinsel dieses gewaltige Seesäugetier zu entdecken.

1891. Format in-8° monté sur support cartonné (cf le verso dans le scan) Victor Schoelcher est un journaliste et homme politique français, né à Paris le 22 juillet 18043 et mort à Houilles le 25 décembre 18933. Il est connu pour avoir agi en faveur de l'abolition définitive de l'esclavage en France, via le décret d'abolition, signé par le gouvernement provisoire de la deuxième République4 le 27 avril 1848. Victor Schoelcher naît le 22 juillet 1804 à Paris. Il fait de courtes études au lycée Condorcet, côtoyant les milieux littéraires et artistiques parisiens3, faisant connaissance avec George Sand, Hector Berlioz et Franz Liszt. Son père l'envoie au Mexique, aux États-Unis et à Cuba en 1828-1830 en tant que représentant commercial de l'entreprise familiale. Lorsqu'il est à Cuba, il est révolté par l'esclavage. De retour en France, il devient journaliste et critique artistique, publiant des articles, des ouvrages, multipliant ses déplacements d'information. Il adhère à la franc-maçonnerie, étant initié dans la loge parisienne « Les Amis de la Vérité » (Grand Orient de France). Le discours abolitionniste de Schoelcher évolue au cours de sa vie. En 1830, dans un article de la Revue de Paris, « Des Noirs » après avoir fait une description terrible de la situation des esclaves, et montré comment l'esclavage transforme ces hommes en brutes, il se prononce contre l'abolition immédiate, car pour lui, « les nègres, sortis des mains de leurs maîtres avec l'ignorance et tous les vices de l'esclavage, ne seraient bons à rien, ni pour la société ni pour eux-mêmes » ; « je ne vois pas pl … [Click Below for Full Description]

Imprenta De La Republica Literaria, Guadalajara, 1891. XXIV pgs, 886, XXVII pgs, 23cms x 19cms. Tapa dura en tela con roces, lomo en piel con costillas, pequeños faltantes en la cabeza del lomo. La Cronica de este autor fue la primera historia de la Conquista de la Nueva Galicia. El autor convivió con los conquistadores. Esta obra sirvió de fuente a los cronistas Beaumont y Mota Padilla. Fue editada por José López Portillo y Rojas, quien firma la introducción. Fray Antonio Tello escribió sus crónicas en algún momento de 1650, pero los "cuadernos" languidecieron en manuscrito 250 años en el "Archivo de la Provincia del Santo Evangelio de México", según Beristain de Souza. Este libro es una fuente importante para la historia antigua del Noroeste y del Suroeste de Mexico. El autor tuvo acceso a las fuentes primarias, especialmente conocimiento personal de los conquistadores y los frailes, a cuyas aventuras él se refiere. Abundan las historias de la expedición de Coronado, así como una gran cantidad de información sobre Fray Marcos y Cabeza de Vaca. Tello fue sin duda la fuente de las historias de los Frailes Beaumont y Mota Padilla sobre la región. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]
