Authors presentation inscription "With the author's compliments / HK" to top of front wrapper. A very fine and clean copy. Pp. 37-56. Scarce offprint, with author's presentation inscription to front wrapper, of Kissinger's reflections of American foreign policy. The essay was written 14 years before he was elected US National Security Advisor and 18 years before he was elected the 56th United States Secretary of State and it anticipates many of his actions toward China and Soviet during the early 70ies. Kissinger states that: "There can be little doubt that the foreign policy of the United States has reached an impasse. For several years we have been groping for a concept to deal with the transformation of the cold war from an effort to build defensive barriers into a contest for the allegiance of humanity. But the new Soviet tactics, coupled with the equally unassimilated increase in the destructive potential of the new weapons technology, have led to a crisis in our system of alliances and to substantial Soviet gains among the uncommitted peoples of the world". (From the introduction). Kissinger played the dominant role in forming the United States foreign policy between 1969 and 1977, which not only led to a significant relaxation in U.S.-Soviet tensions during the Cold War but also reached a rapprochement between the United States and the People's Republic of China. He was awarded the 1973 Nobel Peace Prize for helping to establish a ceasefire and U.S. withdrawal from Vietnam.

Printed on good paper. A nice copy. (40), 352, 16 pp. Wanting the frontispiece. Rare funeral sermon for Danish Knud Thott (1639 - 1702), Danish Geheimrat, son of Otte Thott. Worm here praises Thott for his sense of duty and untiring diligence, as it is repeatedly emphasized how much he, unlike many of his contemporaries, detested anything related to gifts and favors in official positions. As a landowner, he was exceptionally active, and he increased and improved Gavnø in many ways. Previous owner Christian Georg von Møsting was a Danish-Norwegian Officer who was married to Cathrine Marie Juel, sister to the generals Gregers and Christian Juel, owner of Valdemar's Castle. During the 17th century, the aristocracy commissioned publications dedicated to commemorating their departed spouses and celebrating their virtuous lives. These publications likely served both as a means to instill moral conduct in society, conduct profitable transactions and last but not least fuel the circles of gossip. Funeral sermons emerged as romanticized portrayals of the nobility and the upper classes of society. Between the late 16th century and the mid-18th century, funeral sermons became a sought-after commodity in the Danish book market. Primarily intended for the deceased's family, these sermons allowed them to reflect on their own lineage. Provenance: Valdemar's Castle.

Having the titlepage (2) pp. to the entire volume. First printing of this major paper in the founding of mathematical logic and pure mathematics. The paper offered here is a continuation of Boole's "The Mathematical Analysis of Logic"(1847), pioneering the assimilation of logic to mathematics.Boole showed that how mathematical techniques could be applied to the study of logic, and as such he laid the foundations for the axiomatic and deductive treatment og logic, the Boolean algebra, which find imortent applications in both probability theory and computing. This mathematication of logic was undertaken by Frege and brought to a climax by Whitehead and Russell. Boolean algebra was used for this purpose.Boole's work contains what Bertrand Russell called the greatest discovery of the nineteenth century: the nature of pure mathematics.

First edition of these papers, in which Cartan intruced the concept of "Torsion", the main inspiration for Einstein in his searce for a unified field theory. The ECT of gravity is a modification of the General relativity Theory"The Einstein-Cartan theory, also known as the Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Kibble theory, is a classical theory of gravitation similar to general relativity but relaxing the assumption that the affine connection has vanishing antisymmetric part (torsion tensor), so that the torsion can be coupled to the intrinsic angular momentum (spin) of matter, much in the same way in which the curvature is coupled to the energy and momentum of matter. In fact, the spin of matter in curved spacetime requires that torsion is not constrained to be zero but is a variable in the principle of stationary action. Regarding the metric and torsion tensors as independent variables gives the correct generalization of the conservation law for the total (orbital plus intrinsic) angular momentum to the presence of the gravitational field. The theory was first proposed by Élie Cartan in 1922 and expounded in the following few years. Dennis Sciama and Tom Kibble independently revisited the theory in the 1960s, and an important review was published in 1976. Albert Einstein became affiliated with the theory in 1928 during his unsuccessful attempt to match torsion to the electromagnetic field tensor as part of a unified field theory. This line of thought led him to the related but different theory of teleparallelism." (Wikipedia).
