See his entry in the Oxford DNB. ONE: Autograph draft of conclusion of description of his meeting with Mehmet Ali ('Mehemet Ali'). The ODNB states that in July 1836 Cobden produced a pamphlet 'which analysed the Russo-Turkish dispute [.] attempting to play down the Turcophilia that was rife in Britain in the 1830s. In October Cobden embarked on a long tour, sailing via Lisbon, Gibraltar, and Malta to the eastern end of the Mediterranean, as far as Constantinople, meeting Mehmet Ali in Egypt, before returning via Greece in April 1837.' The present text is the conclusion of the draft manuscript of the account he gave of that meeting and had published in Tait's Edinburgh Magazine in November 1838. 1p, foolscap 8vo. The page is headed '20' and carries ten lines of text, one and a half lines of which are deleted. Lightly aged, worn and creased. On reverse, in pencil, in a contemporary hand: 'Cobden / M. S. S His work in Turkey'. The text reads (with deleted passage in square brackets): 'Often in recurring to my interview with this extraordinary man, [- the spring-like elasticity of whose mind evinces its power in proportion as it is pressed -] and recollecting the eagerness of his enquiries upon practical subjects, - as well as the vehemence of manner with which he sustained his opinions - evincing the spring-like elasticity of mind which manifests its power in proportion as it is pressed - I think with pleasure of the refreshing & animating scene, not unmixed with regret that I shall probably never again have the opportunity of chatting with old Mehemet Ali'. TWO: Slip of paper cut from the beginning of a letter in the third person, with reverse blank. In fair condition, lightly aged. Reads: 'Mr Cobden presents his compliments to Mr Cornwall Lewis, & begs to forward for presentation to the Lords of the Treasury, a memorial'. THREE: Printed form response with thick black border. 1p, 32mo. In fair condition, on discoloured paper. Reads (with manuscript text in square brackets): '[Mr & Mrs Cobden] return thanks for the favor of [Mr Smiths] kind enquiries. / [Midhurst 20 June 1856]'.

1st edition. Original Paper Wrappers, 8vo, 39 pages. 21 cm. In Yiddish. Title translates as, "Is it Necessary to have a Jewish Army?" A leading Bundist journalist's call for a Jewish Brigade in WW II to fight the Nazis. "Our answers are based on the firm conviction that Jewish misery and Jewish pain are part of the evil that prevails in the world today; that in a world of slavery and chains, this misfortune will follow and follow the path of the Jewish masses, where they will not escape from it; That in such a world, Palestinian's [i.e. the Jews in Palestine] and everyone else's own 'territory' can be the bitterest exile; and that, on the other hand, in a liberated world, the earth under their feet will become the most beautiful and safest home, where the Jewish masses will enjoy full civil and national rights as people and as Jews. The answers are filled with steel certainty, that today the world stands on the threshold of liberation, that the terrible sufferings will not be in vain, that in pain, misery and suffering, a new better world is born; A world of exploiters and exploited, a world of true equality and freedom.Today, the eyes and hearts of the Jewish masses in the ghettos are turned to this world. To this world will turn their eyes all those who are able to take the voice of the ghetto. For this world, today, in the ghettos and on all the battlefields of the earth, proud hosts of Jewish fighters are bleeding, as Jewish parts of the great freedom army of humanity, which is marching towards the new tomorrow" (from the conclusion). Contents include: ? The commotion around the Jewish army ? Behind the ghetto walls ? Death diagnoses instead of help ? The crooked mirror ? Where did "unity" come from? ?

Cloth. Zustand: Very good. Limited Edition. Octavo, [4], 288pp. Red paper boards over black cloth. Title on label affixed to spine. Complete with frontispiece portrait and 11 illustrated plates. Dampstain affecting pages 282-284. Red dye from boards affecting endpapers. Solid text block, generally clean throughout. Lacking the publisher's original black cardboard slipcase. From a limited edition of 500 copies signed by Gene Tunney, this being number 190. Gene Tunney (1897-1978) was an American professional boxer who gained fame in the 1920s as one of the greatest heavyweights of his era. Born in New York City, Tunney became known for his scientific approach to boxing, combining his tactical intelligence with outstanding footwork and defensive skills. He is most famous for his two victories over Jack Dempsey, the reigning heavyweight champion at the time, particularly their 1927 rematch known as "The Long Count Fight." Tunney's disciplined style and emphasis on strategy over sheer aggression set him apart from many of his contemporaries, earning him the nickname "The Fighting Marine" due to his service in the United States Marine Corps during World War I. After retiring with an impressive record of 65 wins, 1 loss, and 1 draw, Tunney left an indelible mark on the sport and was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990, celebrated for his intelligence, sportsmanship, and contributions to the art of boxing.

Not in the NMM Catalogue, although ESTC records NMM as a location. The catalogue does list a group of works 'concerned with the indecisive and unsatisfactory action fought between the English and Franco-Spanish fleets off Toulon on 11 February, 1744. Also concerned with the court-martial and bitter controversy which subsequently arose between the British commander-in-chief, Admiral Thomas Mathews, his deputy, Vice-Admiral Richard Lestock and their subordinates. The dispute gave rise to a remarkable series of pamphlets.' ODNB (entry for Lestock) characterises the action more brutally as 'a monumental naval failure.'
