Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. The volume contains: The Atlantic Charter One World, by Wendell L. Willkie — complete The Problems of Lasting Peace, by former President Herbert Hoover and Hugh Gibson — complete The Price of Free World Victory, by Vice President Henry A. Wallace, from The Century of the Common Man Blue-Print for Peace, by Sumner Welles, from The World of the Four Freedoms Of particular historical interest is the publisher's wartime production statement explaining that, pursuant to a 1943 War Production Board ruling curtailing publishers' use of paper, the participating publishers cooperated by using lighter-weight paper and printing with reduced margins and increased words per page in order to conserve paper, plate metal, and labor. Young Family Association / Provenance Association copy from the Young family library, with both a contemporary 1943 presentation inscription and original 1945 handwritten correspondence laid in. The front endpaper bears a handwritten presentation/ownership inscription to C. H. Young, husband of Dr. Young, dated September 7, 1943, the year of publication. The volume comes from the Young family collection, in which inscriptions, correspondence, annotations, and other ephemera preserved in multiple volumes document the family's ownership and personal associations. Also preserved with this volume is an original handwritten postal card addressed to Miss Louise King, Box 2151, West Palm Beach, Florida, postmarked: ANDERSON, S.C. APR 29 1945 The reverse contains a lengthy handwritten personal message filling essentially the entire card. Louise King appears elsewhere in material preserved with books from the Young family library and was a friend of the family, making the postal card particularly relevant as surviving family-associated ephemera rather than simply an unrelated piece used as a bookmark. The April 29, 1945 postmark is noteworthy in its historical context: the correspondence was mailed during the final days of World War II in Europe, only days before Germany's surrender in May 1945. No claim is made that the contents of the correspondence concern the surrender or the political subjects of the book; its significance lies in its contemporary wartime date and its association with the Young family collection. The juxtaposition is nevertheless particularly evocative: a 1943 book devoted to the problems of achieving a lasting postwar peace, retained by its wartime owner, with personal correspondence from the closing days of the European war surviving inside it. The original 1945 postal card is included with the book and will remain with the volume as part of its provenance. Binding appears sound. Interior generally clean and well preserved for an 80-plus-year-old wartime volume, with expected age toning and occasional minor spotting/foxing. Some discoloration/offsetting visible to endpapers/pastedowns. Original handwritten 1945 postal correspondence laid in. Please examine photographs for additional condition details. Historical Interest A particularly appealing copy for collectors interested in World War II, American political history, postwar planning, Herbert Hoover, Wendell Willkie, Henry Wallace, Sumner Welles, wartime publishing, South Carolina history, Florida history, manuscript ephemera, association copies, and family provenance. Unlike an ordinary copy of Prefaces to Peace, this example preserves contemporary evidence of its wartime ownership and subsequent family associations through the dated 1943 inscription and original April 1945 correspondence. A historical association/provenance copy in which the surviving ephemera adds an unusual personal dimension to one of the major American wartime anthologies devoted to the question of what would follow World War II.…

"In 1917, the American people were unprepared for war. In 1918, the American people were unprepared for peace. They did understand that, if there were to be a good and lasting peace, they would have to carry on with their associate nations until some kind of international cooperation was put on a permanent basis. In 1918, they favored the League of Nations and their representatives were active in planning it. They did not understand that, if the peace were to be kept, they would have to step out of isolationism in peace as well as in war, and take some real responsibility for a world order. So, when the inevitable jealousies, fears, and greeds of a peace settlement began to show their ugly heads, they refused to join the League they had helped to make. It was a weak League to begin with, and, when the most powerful nation in the world turned its back and went home, it became too weak an agent to guarantee a durable peace, although it was successful, more successful than is generally recognized, in healing the wounds of war and promoting social, economic, and intellectual cooperation among the nations. But, politically, it became a weak congress, run by pressure groups representing the great European powers, unable to agree upon any action which could stop the slide of Europe toward another war. The American people were unprepared for war in 1939, and still unprepared for war in 1941. The American people must not be unprepared for peace with it comes. There have been sinister forces at work for the last twenty years, and before they can be checked, the Axis and Japan, which have become their armored divisions, must be unconditionally defeated. Why not then in this year of 1943 forget about peace and concentrate on winning the war! The answer has already been given. If no unity in peace aims is reached, we may begin to lose the war on the day we win it. That happened before. It must not happen again. This book, which is really an assemblage of books and important speeches, by men who have been, or are, or are likely to be in positions of great responsibility in the conduct of American foreign affairs, is an attempt to bring together what might be called blueprints for peace. Wendell Wilkie reports on a world transformed by rapid communication and economic interdependence, as he sees it after his now famous global trip. Sumner Welles, in a survey made from the heart of his important addresses, sets down simply and clearly the minumum essentials for a better world order and a safer and more prosperous America after the war. Vice President Wallace, follwing a somewhat different line, does the same in a series of statements which represent the essence of his ideas on what can be made to happen after the war. Ex-President Hoover, working with one of the albest and most far-sighted of our diplomats, Ex-Ambassador Hugh Gibson, makes a more detailed and elaborate study of principles, ways, and means, arranged like a textbook for easy and satisfactory study. Even those readers of this Prefaces to Peace who have been following the controversies in the magazines and the newspapers over what shall be done after the war, will find many surprises in the book." - excerpt from the Introduction by Henry Seidel Canby.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. No Jacket. lxvii, 760 pages : illustrations ; 29 cm OCLC 52073501 This reprint of the first edition of Sweet's Catalog commemorates the 90th anniversary of the Sweet's business."--Foreword ; "In offering to the public, and especially to the architects of the United States, the first edition of Sweet's Indexed Catalogue of Building Construction, the publishers have realized at the very outset the importance of stating clearly, first, what the book is, and secondly, the reasons for commending it to the architectural profession for their use and support. .to explain in a few words the character and purpose of the work, . a embodied in these first successful efforts toward a really scientific standard catalogue and index of building materials and construction. Let the matter be looked at entirely from the point of view of the architect. For a period of a dozen years, every possible method of collecting, sorting, classifying, filing and indexing all the catalogues and circulars of building materials was conscientiously given a fair trial, and after a thorough test, every method was just as conscientiously abandoned. They were abandoned because they did not work well in the specification room. They were not practicable. Everything was tried, arrangements of shelves, bookcases, pasteboard boxes, filing cases, patent binders, filing cabinets, cases of drawers, indexing schemes and " index- rerums. " At first, all the big books were put together in one place and all the little books in another place; and then all the big and little books were mixed up together, and indexed according to subject. Some had four pages, and some had four hundred pages. Barely two were of the same shape or superficies. The little ones would not stand up, and could not be gotten at when laid flat. Another elaborate system was introduced, and a voluminous cross-index started, but the big books contained too much useless matter, and the little books got lost or mislaid or could not be found just when wanted. Then the writer decided, after much time and expense, that the present system of publishing and distributing catalogues, as far as the architect is concerned, might be rightly termed " The Catalogue Delusion, " and that the only solution of the problem must lie in a scientific standard catalogue and index of building materials and construction, gradually developed toward an ideal result by the co-operation of manufacturer and architect. Briefly, then, what is Sweet's Indexed Catalogue of Building Construction? It is a scientific catalogue book system ( a volume or series of volumes) , as easy to refer to as a dictionary, consisting of groups of catalogues from which as much unnecessary matter as possible has been eliminated, carefully indexed and cross- indexed, and sent out gratuitously by the publishers to every architect of good standing. Each catalogue in the work is organically arranged in its parts. It proceeds in a regular order from fact " A " to fact " Z " . Illustrations of a certain class are all grouped and arranged according to some obvious plan. " Literature " and " mere writing " are omitted, as an architect has no time in his office for either."; authors and compilers include Wm. Martin Aiken, Claire Allen, J. M. Baillie, Charles I.
