No. 7. Bankers cause War.
First and only edition. An authentic copy of the Fascist-sponsored newspaper ‘Lower Rates’, a rare survival from the heyday of Oswald Mosley. Under the headline ‘Bankers cause War’ we see bankers accused of creating all the problems of society, including war-mongering and creating artificial credit.

[EXCHANGE.]
Cours de change & d’arbitrage fait par moi Baronne Lara (?) de Narbonne a Montpellier au Pensionnat des peres des Ecoles chretiennes. Le dixhuitieme Mai mil sept cent quatre vingt trois
A lovely manuscript course of exchange and arbitrage, produced for a school run by the Lasalians in Montpellier by an alas unidentified baroness (possibly Françoise de Chaslus (1734–1821), wife of Jean-François, duc de Narbonne-Lara, and lady-in-waiting to Princess Marie Adélaide, although this attribution feels unlikely).
JESUIT LOGIC AND PHYSICS [LALANDE, Fr.]
[Philosophy course.]
Fair manuscript copy of a course of philosophy for the use of clerical students offering a systematic treatment of Aristotelian Logic and Physics. The initial inscription states that this course was given by a Jesuit, Fr. Lalande, to Jacques Becheau of Périgord in 1681. The course is articulated in the disputationes dealing in depth with logics and metaphysics at first, then physics and astrology in the second part. A fair example of Jesuit Aristotelianism with significant departures from Aquinas’s interpretation, this manuscript offers an insight into the Jesuit order’s agility in adapting the received ‘calculations’ of syllogism and deduction to early-modern challenges coming from the emergence of experimental science in the age of Galileo.
