Whenever possible, the new Centennial Edition of Francis Parker Yockey’s Imperium provides citations for all quotes as well as explanatory notes for unfamiliar terms and references. (The other volumes in the set, The World in Flames: The Shorter Writings of Francis Parker Yockey and The Enemy of Europe, are already available.) Unfortunately, ten have eluded us. Anyone who can provide the missing information will receive a copy of the paperback edition of Imperium and thanks in the acknowledgements (if so desired).

In the section on “The War-Politics Symbiosis”:

1.  “. . . during the war [WWII] a member of the English Parliament was able to announce that apparently England was a dependency of America.” Who said this?

In the section on “The Pluralistic State”

2. In the late nineteenth century, some claimed that the state was “dead”: “‘This colossal thing is dead,’ announced the French and Italian syndicalists.” Who said this?

3. Napoleon said, “Intellect runs about the pavements in France.” Source?

In the section on “Democracy”:

4. “The ultimate in this direction was reached by an American writer who branded higher chemistry, physics, technics, and mathematics as ‘undemocratic,’ because they were the possession of a few, and were thus tending to create some sort of aristocracy.” Who?

In the Epigraph for Part III:

5. Napoleon: “I wanted to prepare the fusion of the great interests of Europe, as I had accomplished that of the parties. I concerned myself little with the passing rancor of the peoples, for I was sure that the results would lead them irresistibly back to me.” Source?

In the section on “Subjective Meaning of Race”:

6. “The Tsar [Nicholas II] resisted pleas to leave while there was time with ‘My people will not hurt me.’” Source?

In the section on “Culture-Retardation as a Form of Culture-Distortion”:

7. “During the period of preparation of the Second World War, 1919–1939, it appeared at several moments as though the coming war could take the form of a struggle by certain of the powers of the West — for the West was still divided at that time into a collection of tiny States — against Russia, while others of these petty States would remain neutral, giving economic assistance. Such a moment occurred in June 1936, when the leading four among these petty States signed a protocol embodying a general understanding among themselves. This protocol was never ratified.” What is Yockey talking about here?

In the section on “Culture-Distortion Arising from Parasitic Activity”:

8. “Cromwell brought them [the Jews] back to England when he decided there was ‘not enough money in the land.’” What is the source of this quote?

In the section on “World-Outlook”:

9. Music is seldom heard in America, having been replaced by the cultureless drum-beating of the Negro. As an American “musicologist” put it: “Jazz rhythm, taken from wild tribes, is at the same time refined and elementary and corresponds to the disposition of our modern soul. It incites us without pause, like the primitive drum-beating of the prayer dancer. But it does not stop there. It must at the same time take account of the excitability of the modern psyche. We thirst for quickly exciting, constantly changing, stimuli. Music has an excellent, time-honored means of excitation, syncopation.” Who is the author and what is the source of this quote?

In the section on “The Terror”:

10. “In the attempt at transvaluation of values, an official of the American Forces, himself not a member of the Western Civilization [probably a Jew], went so far as to say officially that if Bismarck were alive, he would be ‘tried’ as a criminal by the American forces.” Who is this?
