Description:
VIRGINIA. Message of the Governor, Dec. 7, 1863. Richmond, 1863. DOC. No. 1 8° stitched in original wraps. EXTREMELY RARE CONFEDERATE IMPRINT in commerce, with a powerful speech on the righteousness of the Southern Cause. Wraps with minor chipping and toning. In 1863, during the thick of the American Civil War, Virginia stood as a primary battleground and key stronghold of the Confederate States. By December of that year, the state had already witnessed a series of critical confrontations, most notably the Battle of Chancellorsville in early May. Here, Confederate General Robert E. Lee achieved one of his most remarkable victories, overcoming a numerically superior Union force. Amidst this tumultuous backdrop, the "Message of the Governor, Dec. 7, 1863" would have been delivered, reflecting the state's perspective and condition in a war that was tearing the nation apart. Given the significant events of that year in Virginia, the Governor's message would likely address the state's wartime…

This is Panzer 3425.This work is printed in the same year as the first edition but enlarged, as the title indicates. Title page lower margin cut. Else good. German religious reformer and founder of the Lutheranism movement, Martin Luther grew increasingly hostile towards the Jews following their refusal to accept his religious reformations.
In the present work, the most virulent of Luther's anti-Semitic attacks, he subjects the Jews to a torrent of vile abuse. His practical suggestions range from forced labor to outright banishment: "First, their synagogues should be set on fire and what ever does not burn up should be covered over with dirt so that no one may ever be ale to see a cinder or stone of it. Secondly, their homes should likewise be broken down and destroyed..And this ought be done… Read More
