Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Good. In Hebrew. 192 pages. 205 x 135 mm. Michal Josef Gusikov (born Yehiel-Michiel, also spelt Guzikow or Gusikow) (2 September 1806 Shklov, Belarus - 21 October 1837 Aachen, Germany) was a Russian-Jewish klezmer who gave the first performances of klezmer music to West European concert audiences on his 'wood and straw instrument'. Gusikow's 'wood and straw instrument', from Lewald's 'Europa' Gusikov was born to a family of klezmer musicians in Shklov (now in Belarus). Originally brought up to play the flute, like his father, a weakness of the lungs forced him to seek a different specialisation. In 1831 he constructed what he called a wood and straw instrument, essentially a xylophone laid out like a cimbalom on a soundboard made from rolls of straw which allowed a loud resonance. There is debate whether this instrument was invented by Gusikov himself, or by his contemporary Samson Jakubowski. On this instrument Gusikov developed an extraordinary virtuosity, and in 1834 gave concerts in Moscow, Kiev and Odessa. He was heard in a concert in Odessa by the Polish violinist Karol Lipinski, and with the support of Lipinski and the poet Lamartine undertook a concert tour of Western Europe, from 1835 onwards. The concerts, at which Gusikov appeared in traditional Jewish gabardine and was generally accompanied by his relatives on bass and violins, were an extraordinary success; in Paris he was so popular that a coiffure was named after him, imitating his payot. Gusikow played improvisations both on traditional Jewish and klezmer melodies and also on the popular opera tunes of the time. Other locations where he played included Prague, Frankfurt and Vienna. Many professional Jewish musicians were highly impressed by Gusikov. Ferdinand Hiller wrote him a recommendation to Giacomo Meyerbeer. Felix Mendelssohn wrote to his family in 1836: 'I am curious to know whether Gusikow pleased you as much as he did me. He is quite a phenomenon; a famous fellow, inferior to no virtuoso in the world, both in execution and feeling; he therefore delights me more with his instrument of wood and straw than many with their pianofortes.' Franz Liszt, on the other hand, was more dismissive, calling Gusikov a 'Paganini of the Boulevards' whose 'gift, one might say his genius' would have been better applied to 'inventing an agricultural instrument' whereas his 'talent, being misguided, has produced nothing but musical inanities.' Gusikov attracted the admiration and friendship of the musicologist François-Joseph Fétis, who wrote a long article about him, based on their discussions in Brussels, in his musical dictionary. Exhausted by his tour, Gusikov died of tuberculosis in Aachen, his last days embittered by the alleged theft of his precious instrument from his lodgings. Only one piece of music written by Gusikov has survived, a setting of the Jewish hymn Shir Hama'alot (Psalm 126). The author, Dov Sadan was an Israeli literary critic and politician who served as a member of the Knesset for the Alignment between 1965 and 1968. received a traditional Jewish education. He joined HeHalutz, and was one of its leaders during World War I. In 1925 he became editor of Atid, the organisation's journal. After making aliyah to Eretz Israel, in 1925, when it was under British rule, he initially worked as an agricultural laborer, before joining the staff of the daily newspaper Davar in 1927. In 1928 he traveled to Germany as an emissary for HeHalutz. Upon his return, he worked as a teacher in Lower Galilee and in Jerusalem. In 1933 Sadan returned to work at Davar; he also edited the paper's literary supplement. After leaving Davar again in 1944 he became a member of the editorial board at the Am Oved publishing house. Academic and political career In 1952 he was appointed head of Yiddish Studies faculty at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, a post he held until 1970, and in 1963 became a professor. In 1965 he was elected to the Knesset on the Alignment list . . .…

Condizione: Very Good. Passed in the seventh year of Queen Anne's reign, the Act assured the English East India Company it had extended privileges in its trade monopoly under the banner of the United Stock, an instrument of commercial consolidation formed in earlier reforms. In exchange, the Company pledged to raise the substantial sum of 1.2 million for the Crown, designated for prosecuting the War of the Spanish Succession and meeting other national exigencies. The legislation exemplifies the entanglement of imperial commerce with state finance: a private enterprise acting as financier to public war, while reaping the benefits of prolonged access to Asian markets. The Act's dual function, granting commercial stability and underwriting military ambition, marks a pivotal moment in the Company's transformation from mercantile venture to quasi-sovereign power. It is emblematic of early eighteenth-century Britain's reliance on its financial and trading elite to sustain expansionist policy abroad. 19 pages. This act is published in a small format (85 x 144mm, 3 3/8 x 5.5 inches) and is extracted from the Acts of Parliament, published by John Watson, Printer to the King's Most Excellent Majesty, Edinburgh, 1718. Rather smaller in size than the folio acts often encountered published in London, these are none the less complete acts, word for word the same as the larger format and published at around the same dates. Disbound from a larger volume, no title pages (as issued), and the title starts at the head of the page. See picture. Overall condition is very good, with bright clean, easily readable pages. Size: 16mo (very small). Category: Parliamentary Acts::Queen Anne; Printed before 1800; Cosmo Books : 29 years on ABE, 47 years taking care of customers. A bookseller you can rely on.
