Bilingual English and Russian. This high quality booklet illustrating the biblical foundations of the philosophy of President Roosevelt was presented to delegates of the founding conference of the United Nations in 1945. Passages from the bible cited by the President are presented in biblical order. Bound in cream card wrappers with titles in English within a tissue paper dustjacket with titles in Russian. No marks or inscriptions. The book is in fine condition as it has been protected by a presentation envelope, one page and portrait photograph detached due to weak adhesive. This item comes from the Franklin Delano Roosevelt collection of Frederick Baldwin Adams Jr, 1910 - 2001, the son of Ellen Walters Delano who was a first cousin to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Adams became a passionate bibliophile who served as director of the Pierpont Morgan Library in New York City for two decades and compiled a significant personal collection relating to F.D.R. In 1969 he married his third wife who was a Swedish princess and with whom he shared the final years of his life in France. Adams' move to France explains the presence of his books in the United Kingdom. Fine Please contact Christian White Rare Books Ltd for more information or images of this item.
