Caspar Jacob Christiaan Reuvens (1793-1835), Dutch Egyptologist. Also known as Caspari Jacobi Christiani Reuvens, Gaspard Jacob Chrétien Reuvens, Casparus Jacobus Christianus Reuvens, and Kaspar Jakob Christian Reuvens. Studied law and classics in Amsterdam and Leiden but became interested in archaeology during a stay in Paris. He was appointed first director of the Leiden Museum of Antiquities and first professor of archaeology in the Netherlands (Leiden University, 1818-1835). It was Reuvens who transformed the mediocre archaeological cabinet of Leiden University to the National Museum of Antiquities of the Netherlands. Backed by King William I, he acquired the successive collections of De Lescluze, Cimba, and Anastasi, as well as numerous classical collections. Among his books are "Epimetrum de quibusdam monumentis cum Pollionis historia conjunctis" (1820); and "Periculum animadversionum archaeologicarum ad cippos Punicos Humbertianos Musei Antiquarii Lugduno-Batavi" (1822). Antoine-Jean Letronne (1787-1848) was a French archaeologist, director of the Ecole des Chartes, and inspector-general of the University of France. In 1831 he became professor of history in the College de France, a chair he exchanged in 1838 for that of archaeology. In 1840 he became the keeper of the national archives. Beinlich-Seeber 16723.

In it Smyth argued that the "Great Pyramid, though in Egypt, is not of Egypt: and though built in the earliest ages of man upon earth, far before all history, was yet prophetically intended to subserve a high purpose for these days in which we live, and the coming days. That is, the Great Pyramid, has never been even remotely understood yet by any race of men, though it has been a standing riddle guessed at by all of them in their successive ages." He, Smyth, "by aid of the mathematical and physical science of modern times", has deciphered the Pyramid's meaning. Includes, for example, the following: Geographical Indications in the Great Pyramid / British Metrology, Past and Present / Pyramid Weight Measure / Heat and Pressure, Angle, Money, Time / The Sacred Cubit of the Hebrews / Moses and the Wsidom of the Egyptians / Sacred and Prophetic, Time / Hierologists and Chronologists etc. Detailed illustrations of pyramid design and structure engraved by Alex Ritchie of Edindurgh. Charles Piazzi Smyth FRSE FRS FRAS FRSSA (3 January 1819 – 21 February 1900) was the Astronomer Royal for Scotland from 1846 to 1888. In 1880 he received the Macdougal-Brisbane Prize after constructing a map of the solar-spectrum. Charles advanced the science of Spectroscopy; started the first time signal from Calton Hill; organised over fifty meteorological stations in Scotland; and made numerous astronomical experiments. He also helped establish the practice of locating telescopes and astronomical observatories at high altitudes in order. The crater Piazzi Smyth on the moon is named after him. In parallel with his mainstream work, Smyth was very interested in the construction, dimensions, and purpose of the Great Pyramid of Giza. It is with the Great Pyramid of Giza that his name will always be remembered. In the early 1860s he became convinced that the dimensions of the Great Pyramid demonstrated that it had been built using a unit of measurement almost equal to the British inch, that it encoded the dimensions of the earth and the solar system, and that consequently, its construction was divinely inspired. John Taylor, an eccentric British publisher, claimed that the architect who had planned and supervised the building of the Great Pyramid was not an Egyptian at all, but none other than the biblical Noah. Smyth believed this, and he and his wife went to Egypt to carry out scientific measurements to proved the 'theory.' In doing so, he made the most accurate measurements of the Great Pyramid that any explorer had made up to that time. He was a pioneer of indoor photography and the photographs he took inside the Great Pyramid, using a magnesium light, are some of the earliest known. Amongst his various publications were, ‘Our Inheritance in the Great Pyramid’ and, later, ‘Life and Work at the Great Pyramid’ (Robert P. Crease 'Pyramid Metrologists,' Physics World website). Smyth claimed that the measurements he obtained from the Great Pyramid of Giza indicated a unit of length, the pyramid inch, equivalent to 1.001 British inches, that could have been the standard of measurement by the pyramid's architects. From this he extrapolated a number of other measurements, including the pyramid pint, the sacred cubit, and the pyramid scale of temperature. Because the pyramid inch was a divine unit of measurement, Smyth, a committed proponent of British Israelism (the pseudo-archaeological/philological belief that the Anglo-Saxon British werd descended from one of the Twelve Tribes of Israel), used his conclusions as an argument against the introduction of the metric system in Britain. For much of his life he was a vocal opponent of the metric system, which he considered a product of the minds of atheistic French radicals, a position advocated in many of his works. (Wikipedia) Smyth returned, his Royal Society colleagues were unimpressed and demolished his numerology, finding errors in his work. In 1874 he resigned his Fellowship of the Royal Society when they refused to publish his papers on pyramid research; but there are still hundreds of entries under his name in the Royal Society’s Catalogue of Scientific Papers ('Piazzi Pyramid Grave, St John's, Sharow website)., 1874, 0, Grove, 1996.

1937. Grey cloth bound scrapbook, with printed lettering laid down on the front cover: "My Book / Estel[la] Orlopp / 1 / Six Weeks in Europe / 1937." The scrapbook measures 12 x 10 inches, with 173 pp., all but a handful of which are covered with copies of Mrs. Orlopp's newspaper articles, photos, postcards, and clipped illustrations from her trip. Her news articles (approx. 33 of them) were published in a column in her local newspaper between July 7, 1937 - April 9, 1938. Mrs. Orlopp's 59 photos (including one photo postcard of her tour group, mostly women and a few men) have typed captions attached along the bottom of the images. They include views on board the ship, SS Laconia; street scenes at Oxford, Marlborough Castle, and Windsor Castle in England, views of people wearing traditional costumes in Holland, a tour on the Rhine River, the Berlin Zoo, San Souci Palace (home of Frederick the Great), Dresden (a distant view), Prague (the clock tower), Budapest (a photo of inhabitants, blurry), Trieste, the Adriatic, Venice (St. Marks, Santa Maria della Salute, Campanile, Bridge of Sighs), Florence (view from the hills), Amalfi (view from the hills), Sorrento (view from the hills), the ruins at Pompeii (6 views), and the Roman Forum (3 views). They vary in size, most being either 4 1/2 x 3 1/2 in., 3 x 4 in.. or 3 1/2 x 2 1/2 in. They are an amateur photographer's snapshots from a steady hand, save for one blurred image. She has further annotated her scrapbook with 85 color and 101 black & white postcards, plus clippings from travel brochures and maps (approx. 150 items). A few items have become detached from the pages, but most are still where she placed them. Estella Orlopp (1878-1965) lived in Atchison, Kansas and was the wife of a well known lawyer and member of the Atchison Bar, Hugo Orlopp (1870-1954). Her summer tour was to take her through eleven countries, from which she engaged to send back regular notes on her adventures. Mrs. Orlopp's column entitled "Mrs. Orlopp's Travel Notes," began publication in July with the following editor's note: "Mrs. Hugo Orlopp of Atchison has begun her trip to Europe, and will write travel notes for The Globe. Herewith are her first notes, and they are very breezy. Mrs. Orlopp has originality, and writes well, and we believe Globe readers will enjoy the series of observations she will indite." Her articles are rich in detail. In Holland, she gives a brief report on the engineering feat accomplished five or six years before, of the erection of a sea wall 20 miles long, with an electrical pump and draining system that protects a large section of land for agricultural use. In Mainz, she visits the home of Johannes Gutenberg, and St. Martin's cathedral which had been restored by Napoleon. She remarks on the numerous types of German wines. At the German border and in Berlin, mention is made of the Nazi presence. In each city the tour group visited, they were accompanied by a local guide. According to her article, Mrs. Orlopp says, "I was told that there are 225,000 Jews and 32 synagogues in Berlin. We were all desirous of learning something of the situation but the subject was glossed over and quickly sidetracked by the guide who stated that the Jews were all continuing on in business as before and that a lot of undue pubicity and propaganda had been printed about the matter. We made no comments but remembered that 3 young Jewish people in our tour had left us before we entered Germany and were to rejoin us in Hungary, conclusive evidence that they feared the Nazis. The German people whom we met evinced no willingness to discuss Reich affairs." She mentions visiting the Reich Sports Grounds where the Olympics were held the previous year. In Potsdam, during her visit to "San Souci," she "silently chuckled over Teutonic shrewdness in having tourists daily polish the floors." She declares Dresden to be one of the loveliest cities in Germany, and says it is "to Zeiss cameras and Ikon films as Rochester is to Eastman's..." In Budapest, she describes Hungarian anger at the Treaty of Trianon (of 1920) , which split parts of Hungary amongst its neighbors. She mentions a postcard, created by the Hungarian Women's National association, which shows a raised map with a lever "which causes to move away parts of the country in each direction, showing exactly what percentage of Hungary was given to Rumania, Austria, Czechoslovakia and Yugoslavia." [A copy of the postcard is laid down on a facing page of the scrapbook]. In Vienna one evening, after a concert in the park, Mrs. Orlopp and some of her tour companions sampled a "peach bowl" at Huebner's, "a marvelous concoction that...made me dizzy mentally and physically...It was what Ben Johnson would refer to as 'Jove's Nectar,' but O.O. Mcintyre would aptly describe as a 'Giddyap.' " Mrs. Orlopp's articles are informative, amusing, urbane, and full of historical and architectural detail. She includes commentary on current events and the mood of the people she meets in a Europe about to undergo major upheaval. Upon her return to the United States, she gave a speech before the local Atchison Kiwanis club in February 1938, a news clipping pasted in the scrapbook reports She stated that she believed that Europe would start a general war that year, and that Hitler's popularity was subsiding in Germany., 1937, 0, Grove, 1996.

At sixteen he began as a private soldier under his uncle, Count Ernest Montecucculi. Four years after active service in Germany and the Low Countries, he became a captain of infantry. He fought in Pomerania, Bohemia and Saxony and in 1639 he was taken prisoner by the Swedish army at Melnik and detained for two and a half years in Stettin and Weimar. In captivity he studied military science, geometry, history and architecture and planned his great work on war. In 1645-46 he served in Hungary against Prince Rákóczy of Transylvania. In 1657 he commanded an expedition against Rákóczy and the Swedes, who had attacked the king of Poland. He became field-marshal in the imperial army, and with the Great Elector of Brandenburg completely defeated Rákóczy and his allies. From 1661 to 1664 Montecucculi with inferior numbers defended Austria against the Turks and at St. Gotthard (Aug. 1, 1664) he defeated an Ottoman army under Wesire Köprülü Fazil Ahmad.Atabey Collection 832; not in the Blackmer Collection., 0, Grove, 1996.

The basic principles of town-building art are shown in the planning, composition, building in, landscape, toponymics, connected with the key historical events of Moscow kingdom, imperial Russia, the USSR and the Russian Federation. This edition is for the general public. This edition is dedicated to the 850th anniversary of Moscow [with financial support of Moscow Government.] Yury Mikhailovich Luzhkov (21 September 1936 - 10 December 2019) was a Russian politician who served as mayor of Moscow from 1992 to 2010. He was the vice-chairman and one of the founders of the ruling United Russia party. During Luzhkov's time, Moscow's economy expanded and he presided over large construction projects in the city, including the building of a new financial district. At the same time, he was accused of corruption, bulldozing historic buildings, and poor handling of traffic, as well as the city's smog crisis during the 2010 Russian wildfires. The Export-Import Bank of the United States (EXIM) is the official export credit agency of the United States. EXIM is an independent Executive Branch agency with a mission of supporting American jobs by facilitating the export of U.S. goods and services. When private sector lenders are unable or unwilling to provide financing, EXIM fills in the gap for American businesses by equipping them with the financing tools necessary to compete for global sales. In doing so, the agency levels the playing field for U.S. goods and services going up against foreign competition in overseas markets, so that American companies can create more good-paying American jobs. Because it is backed by the full faith and credit of the United States, EXIM assumes credit and country risks that the private sector is unable or unwilling to accept. The agency's charter requires that all transactions it authorizes demonstrate a reasonable assurance of repayment., Moscow Textbooks, 1996, 2.75, Grove, 1996. Hardbound.
