The Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle (1748). This is the final version of the treaty. A draft treaty had been agreed upon April 30, 1748. The treaty was finalized October 18, 1748. This is the treaty that ended the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-1748), which was the last of three major Bourbon-Habsburg wars. This war involved complex underpinnings between several European powers, but the main pretext for the war was the prospect of Maria Theresa becoming the new Habsburg monarch following the passing of her father, Emperor Charles VI. France, Prussia, and Bavaria viewed the change of power as an opportunity to challenge Habsburg rule. However, Maria Theresa was backed by Great Britain, the Dutch Republic, and Hanover, known collectively as the Pragmatic Allies. Eventually, other belligerents became involved in the war including Spain, Sardinia, Modena, Genoa, Saxony, Sweden, and Russia. The War of the Austrian Succession ended in a stalemate but with Maria Theresa becoming the Archduchess of Austria and the Queen of Hungary. The Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle was signed first by Britain, France, and the Dutch Republic. Austria, Spain, Sardinia, Modena, and Genoa signed later. While the treaty ended the war, it left many issues that had led to the war unresolved, and most of the signatories were dissatisfied with the terms. Consequently, the Treaty of Aix-la-Chapelle was a significant factor in a shift of European alliances known as the Diplomatic Revolution. The Diplomatic Revolution, in turn, played a key role during the Seven Years' War.. Book. Book Condition: Very Good. Binding: Soft cover Stock number: 024480.

The Hakubun-kwan, Honcho Sanchome, Nihonbashiku, Tokio. Original manuscript handwritten in black ink on six leaves of beige lined paper. No date, circa 1910. 8 1/2" x 13 1/2." Six pages, complete. Manuscript includes original proofreading marks and notations in pencil. It is unclear if or when this article was published. Leaves and handwriting are very clean and intact. There is slight wrinkling at the top of the paper and the occasional light stain. Small pinhole in upper right corner of the leaves. Manuscript is Near Fine. Hakubunkwan (or Hakubunkan) was one of Japan's leading publishing houses. It was founded by Sakei Ohashi (1835-1901) in 1887 and was also representative of the wealth and prosperity associated with the Meiji era. Sakei had a prolific and successful career even prior to being the owner of Hakubunkwan and had served as an official of the Niigata Prefectural Office in 1869, was Chief of the Nagaoka Post Office, and established two newspapers, Hokuetsu Shimbun and Essa Shimbun, in 1880 and 1881, respectively. Hakubunkwan began by publishing ten magazines, but its number of published materials quickly increased partly due to Sakei's commitment to keeping prices low and affordable. In its prime, Hakubunkwan published dozens of magazines and thousands of books. Sakei donated ten thousand yen to the formation of a public library in Bancho, Japan upon his passing in 1901, and his son Shintaro Ohashi (1863-1944), inherited the business. Shintaro also donated thousands of yen to several literary and educational institutions and served in Japan's House of Representatives and House of Peers. Today, Hakubunkwan is known as Hakubunkan Shinsha. This article provides a concise history of Hakubunkwan and its founders. Pages 1-3 discuss the founding of the publishing house, the backgrounds of Sakei and Shintaro Ohashi, the latter of whom was the proprietor at the time the article was written, and some notable magazines and books published by Hakubunkwan. Page 4 includes information on Shintaro's accomplishments and appointed positions. Page 5 focuses on Hakubunkwan's printing shop, its sister company Hakushinsha which was in charge of paper supply, and Hakubunkwan's paper consumption from sources both at home in Japan and abroad. Page 6 concludes with information about the Ohashi Library in Tokyo, which was established in 1902 and built in Shintaro's own residence.. Manuscript. Book Condition: Collectible-Near Fine (Near Fine). Binding: No Binding Stock number: 021154.
