8vo. 1½ pp. on bifolium. Interesting letter to the economist and statistician Alfred de Foville, concerning a nomination for an unspecified post. Aulard reacts to de Foville's rejection of the nomination as he hadn't been informed of it in advance. Thus, Aulard apologizes for the mistake, explaining his own role in the process: "Votre lettre, qui m'a réussi dans mes voyages, ne m'a rejoint qu'assez tard. Vous pensez bien que votre refus m'a déçu et contrarié. Mais je suis surtout étonné d'apprendre qu'on a fait cette nomination sans vous consulter préalablement. J'avais dit aux bureaux, pur faciliter les choses ici de vous nommer Mr. de Foville. J'en serai enchanté ; mais acceptera-t-il ? Il y avait donc à s'assurer de votre assentiment. Je ne puis comprendre qu'on ne l'ait fait. Mais je tiens beaucoup à ce que vous sachiez, Monsieur et cher collègue, que j'ai été entièrement étranger à ce procède, et, quelque désir que je puise avoir d'obtenir cette occasion d'entrer en relation personnelle avec vous, je n'y ai mis, comme vous pourrez peut-être le croire d'après ce qui s'est passé, aucune insistance indiscrète. Cela dit, permettez-moi de vous exprimer tous les regrets de votre refus, que quelques minutes d'explications [.] auraient peut-être prévenir." - The nomination was probably in connection with Aulard's engagement for the Ligue des droits de l'homme or the Mission laïque française. - Minimally toned.

No Binding. Zustand: Very Good. Original manuscript on freemasonry. 28x21 cm. In Ottoman script (Turkish with Arabic letters). 3 p. Chipped on margins, folded. Otherwise a very good manuscript. Written on a paper watermarked "Labor: Extra Strong Bank". It includes "How should a Mason be and act?", it gives some hints on the last Ottoman Freemasonry. The history of Freemasonry in Turkey stretches back to the 18th century under Ottoman imperial rule. The first lodge in Turkey was probably established around 1721 in Istanbul by Levantines. Although Freemasonry in Turkey can be traced into the 18th century, for much of that time it was limited to lodges under the jurisdiction of foreign grand lodges, and there was no independent Turkish Grand Lodge. This changed in 1856 when the first Turkish Grand Lodge was established. Sultan Murad V was a member of the lodge, becoming the first and only Ottoman sultan to join. This first Grand Lodge was banned in 1876 by Murad's successor Sultan Abdulhamit Han. The Grand Lodge came back in 1909 in Istanbul under a new administration. Because the Grand Lodge was used to operate in secret, it was closed again in 1922, only to be opened in the year 1925 again. In 1935 the Grand Lodge has closed again. As a result of the repeated closures, the former Grand Lodge and its members were reluctant to support Kemal Atatürk's reformist policies. (Source: Wikipedia). No information about Dr. Nami.

Including 7 autograph documents on large Folio sheets signed, partly with initials, and partly in the third person within the text, varying between "Mlle la ch're D'Eon," "La ch're D'Eon," and "D.". Ledger pages or receipts, listing prices paid or owed for firewood, lumber, food, clothing and other items, documenting the daily life of an 18th century crossdresser. - Éon de Beaumont was a French transsexual political adventurer, secret agent of Louis XV in Russia (1755), then minister to England. The term "eonism" denoting the tendency to adopt the costume and manners of the opposite sex, is derived from his name. Despite d'Éon's wearing a dragoon's uniform all the time, there were rumors that he was actually a woman, and a betting pool was started on the London Stock Exchange about his true sex. D'Éon finally claimed to be physically not a man, but a woman, and demanded recognition by the government as such. King Louis XVI and his court complied, but demanded that d'Éon dress appropriately and wear women's clothing. D'Éon agreed, especially when the king granted him funds for a new wardrobe. Overall, Charles d Éon spent his first 49 years as a man, and his last 33 years as a woman. Upon death, a council of physicians discovered that d'Éon's body was anatomically male.

From the papers of William Scoresby Routledge (1859-1939), Australian-born British ethnographer, anthropologist and adventurer. Both items in good condition, on lightly-aged paper, but the first with a vertical closed tear at the base of one leaf. ONE: On letterhead of Christ Church, Oxford. 2 July 1920. 3pp., 16mo. Bifolium. Routledge's silence, he begins by stating, led him to think that he was 'somewhere on the High Seas', but he has realised that it was due to a mistaken address 'in the Steward's Office Address Book, where 'Conservative Club' has been written for 'Carlton Club'. 'How the mistake arose I cant imagine: for 2 years ago though the usual Clerk was away at the Wars, the Steward had the services of a most excellent & business-like woman clerk whom I never found to fail in doing anything that I, as Secretary, had to ask her to do.' A description of 'the Gaudy' follows: 'We tried to fill the Hall but though I sent out 561 invitations there were only 198 diners.' He proceeds to tell an amusing anecdote about Venizelos, then reaching the end of a turbulent period as Greek Prime Minister: 'Venizalos [sic] was our principal guest & he had consented to address us for 5 minutes in French (as his English is not of easy flow) when most dramatically a tweed-clothed man entered the Hall by one entrance from Common Room, handed him a slip of paper which seemed to cause him much surprise & made him hurriedly rise, briefly apologize to the Dean, & at once disappear doubtless, as Lord Sumner said in an immediately following speech, to give the Turk "a lesson in compulsory Greek".' He hopes the 'Sti', to which Routledge is 'off', 'will prove to be savoury as well as pleasant and interesting'. TWO: 'Ch. Ch. Oct 30'. 3pp., 16mo. Bifolium. He does not know why 'any London Lodge shd charge you an extra Fee on joining it because you are not a Subscribing Member of any other Lodge at the time of so joining it. I expect Buckmaster has made a mistake.' As a consequence he is returning Routledge's guinea, and has taken his name 'off the Lodge Books'. If Routledge does find that there are fees for having 'ceased membership with us (but this I cant for a moment believe)', he will arrange the matter for him. The letter ends with further talk of joining fees. Postscript: 'Still at bones?'.

(1788) Letter, bifolium, , cr. 8vo, good condition, one page giving assurances as to quality, etc., with list (essentially a quote) of prices/features of "A new Fashionable Chariot with a [?] light coloured cloth, Painted a Green [?] Patent yellow, made of the best materials & season'd timber", followed by a price list of various features (blinds, plated head plates, steps, strong plated harness, packing etc etc). See image. (1799) 1p., 4to, bifolium, very good, on lightly-aged paper. Addressed in another hand on reverse of second leaf to 'Monsieur le Doctor Brown | Medicin de la Majesté la Reine | regnante de Prusse | Berlin', and docketed (presumably by Brown) 'J. Randall Coachmaker | 1789 | London June 30 | recd. July 13 - | with a Receipt in full inclosed -' (the receipt is not present). Brown begins: 'I have sent you enclos'd a receipt in full for what you was Indebted to me'. He would have answered Brown's letter before, but has been 'very Ill for these six weeks past & oblig'd to be by the Sea side'. He returns his 'most sincere thanks' for Brown's 'kind Favor's [sic]', and hopes to have 'any future Commissions which you wish to have executed'. Randall was one of the foremost London coachmakers of the period, serving in 1806 as Master of the Worshipful Company of Coachmakers and Coach Harness Makers of London. He was also a member of Dunckerley's Lodge of Harmony No. 255. There are several references to Brown and his family in 'Berlin and the Prussian Court in 1798: Journal of Thomas Boylston Adams, Secretary to the United States Legation at Berlin' (1916), and there is a disparaging comment on him in 'The Diaries and Letters of Sir George Jackson' (London: Bentley, 1872), vol.1, p.113.
