A propos de cet article

Published: 1909. 1st Edition / 1st Impression. Inscribed and signed by author. Association Copy. First edition inscribed by John D. Rockefeller to the future Archdeacon of Durham, Egbert de Grey Lucas. A fascinating association between the world of Gilded Age American capitalism and the British Anglican establishment. Association copy of John D. Rockefeller, the architect of modern global philanthropy, presenting his memoirs to Egbert de Grey Lucas (later Archdeacon of Durham). This pairing illustrates the intersection of American industrial wealth and the British ecclesiastical establishment through the shared networks of international charitable initiatives in the early 20th century. PROVENANCE: E de G. Lucas. Language: English Book Condition: Fine. DJ Condition: No DJ. PROVENANCE BACKGROUND: Egbert de Grey Lucas (1878-1958) English Anglican clergyman, scholar, and church administrator, Lucas served in various pastoral and ecclesiastical roles throughout his career, culminating in his appointment as Archdeacon of Durham (1939-1953). Ordained in 1903, he was active in parish ministry, chaplaincy, and church governance, contributing to the spiritual and organizational life of the Church of England. Lucass career intersected with international philanthropic and social networks, including correspondence and engagement with prominent figures such as John D. Rockefeller, reflecting his position within transatlantic ecclesiastical and charitable circles. His work emphasized pastoral care, church administration, and support of religious and educational initiatives. BOOK RESUME: Random Reminiscences of Men and Events is a first-person memoir that provides a unique window into the mind of the architect of the Standard Oil monopoly. Through a series of loosely organized reflections, Rockefeller recounts the founding and growth of his empire, sharing his business philosophy and interactions with key figures of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The book moves from factual accounts of market manoeuvres to personal observations on leadership, ethics, and philanthropic responsibility. It is less a systematic history and more a collection of lessons learned, revealing the strategic thinking and personal relationships that influenced decisions that fundamentally shaped the American industrial landscape. AUTHOR: John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937) was an American industrialist, philanthropist, and the founder of the Standard Oil Company, who became one of the wealthiest individuals in history. His ruthless business practices transformed the oil industry and shaped modern American capitalism. Beyond commerce, Rockefeller was a major philanthropist who established foundations supporting education, public health, and scientific research. His writings, including this memoir, offer a personal account of his business dealings, management philosophy, and interactions with contemporaries. Rockefeller's influence extended globally, and he remains a central, albeit controversial, figure in studies of American industry and the development of modern charitable institutions.…
