        Astrolabes of the World Based upon the Series of Instruments in the Lewis Evans Collection in the Old Ashmolean Museum at Oxford, with Notes on Astrolabes in the Collections of the British Museum, Science Museum, Sir J. Findlay, Mr. S. V. Hoffman, The Mensing Collection, and in Other Public and Private Collections

      Oxford: At the University Press, 1932. First Edition. Cloth. Near Fine. First Edition. Vol 1: xvii, [1 blank], [2], iii, [1 blank], 304 [2] pages plus LXVIII plates. Vol 2: viii, [305]-609 pages plus plates. 9 1/4 x 11 3/4 inches. Original tan cloth with gilt embossed decoration of instrument on front cover. Volumes sound, noting outer hinge paper is starting in Volume 1, and is cracked in Volume 2 showing the webbing. Spines sun darkened, corners bumped. Generally bright and clean internally, noting occasional foxing (mostly to first and last few pages). Cloth. "Robert William Theodore Gunther (23 August 1869 - 9 March 1940) was a historian of science, zoologist, and founder of the Museum of the History of Science, Oxford." John Farquhar Fulton (the previous owner) was also a Historian of Science, and President of the History of Science Society from 1947-50. (wikipedia) Vol 1 has a review from the journal Nature tipped in (June 10, 1933, p 819) signed in print with initials JKF, noting various errors in the book and wishing more research had been done before publication. Folded page laid in with a few manuscript notations (probably the reviewer's notes given the similarities). Previous owner bookplate John Farquhar Fulton (Historian of Science) on pastedown in each volume. We suspect that "JKF"in the review was a thinly disguised attempt to avoid using Fulton's initials - the review although very detailed doesn't recognize the text's strengths(beyond binding and photography) but rather resorts to scholarly attempts to discredit the author. Even given the review, the text is still a standard reference in the field, essential for astrolabe collectors and institutional collections, covering a prodigious amount of material. Only 250 sets were produced. Illustrations in this first edition set are superior to the 1976 single volume reprint done by Holland Press. From Nature review: "The Oxford University Press has produced for Dr. Gunther two sumptuous volumes. The binding is elegant, the paper is good, the print, except in the facsimile of Morley's description of a planispheric astrolabe, is clear, and the numerous photographic plates are exceedingly beautiful; these number no less than 153 in addition to 217 figures...

        The Strangest Friendship in History: Woodrow Wilson and Colonel House

      Liveright Inc., New York 1932 - 375 pages. Index. "When I began my study I looked upon Woodrow Wilson as the villain of the ensuing drama. As I proceeded to delve into the debris of reminiscences and unwritten history, he gradually assumed some aspects of a martyr and a saint. There was a time when there was no one in the world whom I distrusted more than Edward Mandell House. Today he seems to me a genuine philosopher and a gifted statesman. Even if his good intentions, like Wilson's, have helped to pave mankind's way to hell, they gave us a glimpse of the Promised Land where peace abides and a new sanction governs the fate of nations." - from page xiv. It is commonly believed that Colonel House was in fact a Rothschild agent, assigned the task of seeing the Federal Reserve Act brought into law, thus privatizing the issuance of American money (again). If so, this book is of major importance to every American. Gift greetings, dated 1932, upon front free endpaper else unmarked. Hinges and binding intact. Above-average wear and soiling to tan cloth-covered boards. Lengthy but narrow openings in cloth between back strip and back board. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

      New York: Harper. 1932. First. First edition. Illustrated by Gluyas Williams. Modest age-toning on the spine and edge of the rear board, tiny tears at the crown, very good without the dustwrapper. Inscribed by the author: "Dear Adele: This is for you. Bobby. November 15, 1932." Adele Lovett was a glamorous socialite, a B player in the Algonquin Round Table, a friend of Dorothy Parker's, and reportedly the lover of Robert Benchley. The intimacy of the inscription is telling; we've never before seen Benchley inscribe a book as "Bobby." .

        Arabia Felix: Across the Empty Quarter of Arabia

      London: Jonathan Cape,, 1932. With a Foreword by T. E. Lawrence (T.E.S.) and Appendix by Sir Arthur Keith. Octavo. Original sand buckram, title gilt to spine, light brown top-stain. With the typographical dust jacket, printed in red and black on cream hammer-finshed stock. Frontispiece and 47 other plates, illustrations to the text, some full-page, folding coloured map at the rear, 2 full-page charts to the text. Pale differential browning to the free endpapers, otherwise very good indeed in the unclipped jacket which is just slightly tanned at the spine, chafed at the fore-edge, and with a few minor edge-splits. First edition, first impression, same month as the first. Talent-spotted by Sir Arnold Wilson, the British acting civil commissioner in the Persian Gulf. Thomas "held a number of civilian posts under Wilson and distinguished himself as political officer at Shatra during the Iraqi uprising in 1920 … Wilson's successor in the gulf, Sir Percy Cox, retained Thomas in his position as a political adviser to the Arab leaders serving under the provisional British administration. He was appointed OBE and transferred to Transjordan as assistant to the chief British representative at the court of Amir Abdullah. He became in 1924 financial adviser (and later first minister) in the sultanate of Muscat" (ODNB). During the 20s he developed the ambition to cross the "empty quarter" and made preparatory reconnaissance of the region, "On these trips he dressed as a Bedouin, eschewed tobacco and alcohol, and spoke only Arabic." Late in 1930 Thomas left Muscat on a passing British warship, arriving at Dhufar, on the Indian Ocean coast of Arabia "from where he intended to commence his south?-north crossing of the empty quarter. After waiting some months for his guides (who were involved in desert hostilities) he eventually set out with a small camel caravan but no promise of protection from the warring and predatory tribes of the interior. He emerged fifty-eight days later at Doha, on the Persian Gulf. The Royal Geographical Society in London promptly awarded him their founder's medal, and other learned societies around the world followed suit … He was admired by T. E. Lawrence and by his successor Wilfred Thesiger, who found twenty years later that Thomas was remembered by the Bedouin as an honourable, brave, and tolerant man". An unusually well-preserved copy of this important account.

        [Magazine]: Zion's Good News and Palestine (1932-1935)

      Seattle, Washington: Palestine Mission Board. (1932-1935). Magazine. 19 individual issues from January 1932-December 1935 (including supplements), ranging in size from about 6" x 9" to 9" x 12", bound together in one folio volume. Contemporary dark green cloth with the title "Palestine" stamped in gold on the front board. Small nicks to the spine ends and corners, the front free endpaper is detached, a few intermittent issues are toned, very good. A very scarce run of this "Jewish Missionary Magazine" published by the Palestine Mission Board and its affiliated group: the Palestine Prayer Fellowship.The magazine was edited by Armin A. Holzer, the son of a famous Canadian rabbi. He converted to Christianity, became an ordained Baptist minister, and founded both the Board and Fellowship. Headquartered in Seattle and Vancouver, both organizations were interdenominational and attracted the support of several leading American and Canadian Protestant ministers who also contributed to the magazine. Often billed as "Holzer the Hebrew" throughout the 1930s, Holzer spearheaded missionary campaigns and led evangelistic Bible conferences throughout the world. The first issue in the volume, printed at the Syrian Orphanage Press in Palestine, features Holzer's report on the establishment of the Palestine Faith Home "for Jewish converts and inquirers" in Jerusalem. When the magazine's title was shortened to Palestine in 1933, he reaffirmed its dedication "to the cause of Palestine's Evangelization and the evangelization of the Jews."The run is notable not only for its accounts of missionary work and theology, but also for Holzer's articles on anti-Semitism, Hitler, and the Nazi conspiracy. These include early reports on: "Hitler's Storm Troopers" (June, 1933), and the many difficulties faced by missionaries in Germany: "The government is out and out anti-Jewish ... missionaries are exposed to all sorts of embarrassing situations. They are either labeled un-German or more or less traitors for endeavoring to help the Jews" (September, 1934). A list of all 19 issues, issued irregularly, is available. .

        The Production of High Speed Protons without the Use of High Voltages" AND "Production of High Speed Light Ions Without the Use of High Voltages II" AND "Hydrogen Isotope of Mass 2 and Its Concentration" in Physical Review Volume 38 No 4, August 15, 1931 and Volume 40 No 1, April 1 1932, pp 834; pp 19-35; pp 1-16

      FIRST EDITION OF THE SUCCESSFUL OPERATION OF THE FIRST CYCLOTRON, parts I and II (in two separate issues, both in original wraps). Also included in the 1932 issue is Urey's Noble Prize winning discovery of what we now call deuterium. In the spring of 1929, Ernest Lawrence read about a new method for accelerating charged particles. Scrounging together shards of glass, metal, wires and wax, Lawrence and his graduate student Stanley Livingston built an ingenious device capable of pushing particles to higher energies by making them travel in circles. "At root, its operation was straightforward. It used magnetic fields to hold charged particles in a narrow, spiraling path. When the particles crossed the gaps, an electric field would accelerate them ahead, from the right side to the left side, then from the left to the right. On each round, the particles picked up speed. They were shot out at high energy and put to work" (Bancroft Berkeley website). In January 1931 Lawrence and Livingston met their first success; their paper published in this Physical Review. "A device about 4.5 inches in diameter used a potential of 1,800 volts to accelerate hydrogen ions up to energies of 80,000 keV. Lawrence immediately started planning for a bigger machine" (American Institute of Physics website). In early 1932, Livingston and Lawrence set to building that bigger machine with a design for a 27-inch (69 cm) cyclotron. With this cyclotron and in the second paper offered here, the authors announced the acceleration of protons to more than 1 MeV. ALSO included is a paper by Urey, Brickwedde, and Murphy. "Since 1913 scientists had accepted the existence of isotopes, but conventional wisdom claimed that isotopes of a given element could not be differentiated or separated by a chemical process. Urey challenged and overturned this thinking in 1932 by showing that deuterium (D 2 ) could be concentrated in the form of deuterium oxide, or heavy water (D 2 O), and then converted back into pure deuterium by electrolysis of the D 2 O. Deuterium and deuterium oxide are convenient sources of deuterium-labeled compounds that today are used routinely in medicine and science" (Chemistry Explained). In his memoirs, Brickwedde's wrote that it was Urey "who proposed, planned, and directed the investigation. Appropriately, the Nobel Prize for finding the heavy isotope of hydrogen went to Urey" (Nat'l Institute of Standards, 45). CONDITION & DETAILS: Two first editions, both in original wraps. Lancaster: American Physical Society. The 1931 issue has light fading on the front wrap and some minor wear to the paper on the spine; the 1932 issue has very light wear at the edges. Very good condition.

      1932 FIRST EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPS OF UREY'S NOBLE PRIZE WINNING DISCOVERY OF WHAT WE NOW CALL DEUTERIUM. Also included in that issue is part II of the successful operation of the first cyclotron. Part I is present in the other issue offered, the 1931 issue, this also in original wraps. "In 1931, Urey studied hydrogen by spectroscopic methods and detected a substance that had the same chemical properties as hydrogen but exhibited a larger mass than hydrogen known at this time. Because the mass was about twice the mass of hydrogen, Urey named it deuterium. "Since 1913 scientists had accepted the existence of isotopes, but conventional wisdom claimed that isotopes of a given element could not be differentiated or separated by a chemical process. Urey challenged and overturned this thinking in 1932 by showing that deuterium (D 2 ) could be concentrated in the form of deuterium oxide, or heavy water (D 2 O), and then converted back into pure deuterium by electrolysis of the D 2 O.

"A device about 4.5 inches in diameter used a potential of 1,800 volts to accelerate hydrogen ions up to energies of 80,000 keV. Lawrence immediately started planning for a bigger machine" (American Institute of Physics website). In early 1932, Livingston and Lawrence set to building that bigger machine with a design for a 27-inch (69 cm) cyclotron. With this cyclotron and in the second paper offered here, the authors announced the acceleration of protons to more than 1 MeV. CONDITION & DETAILS: Two first editions, both in original wraps. Lancaster: American Physical Society. The 1931 issue has light fading on the front wrap and some minor wear to the paper on the spine; the 1932 issue has very light wear at the edges. Very good condition.

        KING CHARLES II. Typescript of an Unpublished School Play

      1932. Typescript comprising two sections: first, three pages of carbon copy with Orwell's autograph pencil side-notes recording sound effects, the name 'Geoffrey' written twice in red crayon; second, twelve roneograph pages with some pencil markings probably in the hand of one of the boy actors [Geoffrey Stevens], 15 pages, folio and 4to, spindle holes, some slight wear and creasing, marginal fraying at outer leaves, final leaf torn and reinforced; together with an original photograph of Orwell and his school at this time, mounted and labelled. Provenance: Geoffrey Stevens; sold Sothebys, London Dec. 15th 1988; Private Collection. This short historical play, which is written partly in blank verse, was composed by the twenty-nine-year-old Eric Blair when he was headmaster at the Hawthorns High School for Boys in Hayes, Middlesex, a small private school having little more than a dozen pupils (as the accompanying photograph shows). It was performed as the school's Christmas play at St Mary's Church Hall in Hayes in 1932. This was in a period when Orwell had finished Down and Out in Paris and London (or Days in London and Paris, as it was originally titled) and was looking for a publisher. He was working on Burmese Days and had only sought the job at Hawthorns because he needed an income. Fed up with his job and his lack of disposable income, he then spent the best part of a term writing and rehearsing a school play for the boys to perform. With dramatic speeches, noisy altercations involving stocks and pikes, unlikely coincidences and some very theatrical dialogue, it is little wonder that Geoffrey Stevens, one of the boys who performed in the play, enjoyed the experience considerably more than Orwell himself, who referred to it in a letter to Eleanor Jacques on 19 October as 'a mucky play the boys are to act later'. By 18 November he could record: 'I have had to write & produce a play- am now in the throes of rehearsing it- & what is worst of all, have had to make most of the suits of armour etc. for the boys to act it. For the last few weeks I have been suffering untold agonies with glue & brown paper etc.' (Collected Essays, Journalism and Letters, 1968, I, 102-105). Geoffrey Stevens, whose copy this is, remembers the undertaking more fondly: 'The performance lasted only half an hour, but we spent hours in preparation, finding props, constructing the scenery etc., all of which he [Orwell] supervised closely. It was ambitious... He arranged for plywood doors on either side to have saw cuts made in them so that Cromwell's men could break them open with their pikes. It worked perfectly and made a great crashing noise coming down.' (Orwell, The Authorised Biography, Michael Shelden, 1991, p172.) Orwell was seldom pleased with his work and destroyed the majority of his manuscripts. King Charles II, while it lacks some of the literary merits of his published work, has pastiche, humour and a political message. Aside from Nineteen Eighty-Four, less than half of which survives, this would appear to be the only Orwell typescript in existence. It remains unpublished, and this is the sole known copy.

        Typed Letter Signed with exceptional content

      Albany, NY, 1932. unbound. 1 page on "State of New York, Executive Chamber" letterhead, 10.5 x 8 inches, Albany, New York, April 16, 1932. Written to powerful New York attorney Frederic R. Coudert, whose support was needed in Roosevelt's anticipated run for the Presidency of the United States, just three months before the Democratic National Convention, in part: "...At least I am grateful for one thing - that you do not class me as a mere politician...As for the League of Nations, it is too long a subject for us to discuss on paper, but perhaps it may interest you to know that half a dozen people who have been just as strongly for the League as you, have after talking with me subscribed to the plan I have outlined to them. For instance, Frank Sayre and his wife (Jessie Woodrow Wilson) spent the night at Hyde Park a week ago and after we talked for an hour, completely changed their opinion about my stand. All that I can tell you in this note is that my objective and yours happen to be not merely similar but identical, but if you maintain your method of attaining the objective, you may get there in twenty years at the earliest or not at all; on the other hand I believe that my method for attaining the same objective will get us there in from five to ten years with far greater certainty. Think that over and for heaven's sake, maintain your faith. Remember that it sometimes takes a great courage to hew out a new line. I quote your example: Cleveland, T.R. and Wilson did just that..." Coudert%u2019s support of the League of Nations came about due to the fact that his family law firm had represented the interests of British Government for close to a century, and he wanted to be assured that a Roosevelt administration would maintain a strong alliance with England. However, seven years later he became a strong isolationist, aligning himself with his friend Charles Lindbergh, and barely supported the Lend Lease. On the other hand, F.D.R. coined the term "United Nations" and made contributions to the original drafted charter. Two horizontal folds and small creases at the corners, but still in very good condition.
