She had 11 top 10 hits on the UK Singles Chart between then and 1971 and an additional eight hits that made the top 40. In May 2010, new research published by BBC Radio 2 showed that her version of "Anyone Who Had a Heart" was the UK's biggest-selling single by a female artist in the 1960s.[1] "You're My World" reached No. 14 in Canada[2] and was also a modest hit in the U.S., peaking at No. 26 on the Billboard Hot 100. Along with a successful recording career in the 1960s and early 1970s, Black hosted her own BBC variety show, Cilla (1968-1976).

Wieser (Friedrich von). Über den Ursprung und die Hauptgesetze des wirtschaftlichen Werthes, 1st edition, Vienna: Alfred Hölder, 1884, a few scattered marginal pencil marks, ink library stamp of Dr J. Singer of Vienna to front free endpaper and small (rubbed) label to upper cover, contemporary half cloth over marbled boards, gilt-titled spine, rubbed, joints frayed, 8voQTY: (1)NOTE:Provenance: The Dr J. Singer library stamp is that of Isidor Singer (1857-1927), an Austrian journalist, statistician and newspaper editor. He came from a wealthy Jewish textile merchant family who had lived in Vienna since 1861. After studying law, mathematics and natural sciences in Vienna and Graz, he received his doctorate in law in Vienna in 1881. Carl Menger assisted with Singer’s Habilitation in 1885, then qualifying as a professor at the University of Vienna and becoming a private lecturer in statistics; and from 1892 onwards an extraordinary professor of statistics. Also in 1885, he published Untersuchungen über die socialen zustände in den fabrikbezirken des nordöstlichen Böhmen; ein beitrag zur methodik socialstatistischer beobachtung (‘Investigations into the Social Conditions of Northeastern Bohemia. A Contribution to the Method of Social-Statistical Investigations’). In the 1880s, Singer critically examined the emergence of modern anti-Semitism in Germany and Austria.Friedrich von Wieser (1851-1926) was one of the leading exponents of the Austrian school of economics. Together with his fellow student and brother-in-law Eugen von Böhm-Bawerk, he developed the ideas of Carl Menger and made the Austrian school of marginal utility widely known. This is his first published work, and one in which Wieser introduced the term Grenznutzen (‘marginal utility’). The book, ‘On the Origin and Main Laws of Economic Value’, met with little response outside Vienna, but earned him a professorship in Prague. ‘Here he continued to work on the same problems and also on what he regarded merely as a first step toward a theory of value that was to be fully developed in Der natürliche Werth (1889). He employed the expository device of studying value in a centrally directed economy and suggested possible applications of utility theory to public finance. The book gained him almost immediate acclaim, and it was soon translated into English’ (Friedrich von Hayek, in IESS).

In the 1880s, Singer critically examined the emergence of modern anti-Semitism in Germany and Austria.Einaudi 3881.Rare first edition of Menger's revolutionary work in economics and the foundation of the Austrian School. Having arrived at the marginal utility theory independently of, but at the same time as, William Stanley Jevons and Léon Walras, Menger's Grundsätze extended it to indirect goods and complementary goods, integrating marginal utility theory into value and price theory. According to Joseph Schumpeter, Menger extended ‘the range of the principle of marginal utility over the whole area of production and distribution ... the whole organon of pure economics thus finds itself unified in the light of a single principle — in a sense in which it never had before’ (Schumpeter, History of Economic Analysis, p. 913).‘... In somewhat copious but always clear language, it [Grundsätze] provided a more thorough account of the relations between utility, value, and price than is found in any of the works by Jevons and Walras, who at about the same time laid the foundation of the “marginal revolution” in economics’ (Friedrich von Hayek, in IESS).

A student of Carl Menger, and part of the Austrian School of Economics, this is a good copy of his rare first book, (‘Entrepreneurial Profit. A Contribution to the Theory of the Distribution of Goods in Economics’). According to Mataja, entrepreneurial profit is the income which ‘results entirely from economic exchange and which furthermore accrues to the owner of the business venture absolutely and exclusively’.

VGThe significance of Callas´s signature not only lies in it being appended to a postcard of Christina O, the yacht which she frequented as the guest of her lover, Greek shipping magnate Aristotlle Onassis, but also in the date of the postmark, September 1959. Callas had first been introduced to Onassis in 1957 whilst the singer was married to her husband Giovanni Battista Meneghini. The turbulent affair which followed between Onassis and Callas received much publicity in the popular press and Callas undertook a summer cruise in 1959 on board Christina O in the company of her lover. On 23rd September 1959 Callas made her first operatic recital at London´s Royal Festival Hall, receiving great acclaim for her performance of arias and scenes from Don Carlo, Il Pirata, and selections from Hamlet and Macbeth. The occasion also marked one of her first public appearances following the summer cruise, and the subsequent breakdown of her marriage. Callas left her husband just a couple of months later, in November 1959.
