Annals of the war by principal participants North and South-the Times publishing Company, 1878. First edition, I think but they marked books differently back then. There is no ISBN number.. Good. --this is the original book the cover spine are intact there is some separation where the cover meets the front and back of the cover of the book inside there is a stamp inside that says Henry C Gibson, wynnewood Montgomery CO Penna,there is a white bookplate about 2 1/2 by 11 1/4 inch, that has a name written that I cannot read. The cover itself is in very nice shape its cloth and has quite ornate gold embossing the edges the book top of bottom have where I may have a few more small tears from shelving or use - on the top near the spine, bottom the corners have where through the cloth covering the edges the pages are slightly darkened, just a shade darker than the interior pages the top of the pages as you look at the book from the top are significantly more dark whether this is from church or sometimes they actually code the tops books pages differently I do not want to take my Murphy's wood oil soap and start spraying this ...because the cost the book, and concerns about conditions before buying please contact me so I can possibly take a few pictures for you to review before purchasing, so there is no question as to what the condition is in any parts of the book you have specific concerns about. I've done my best describe them here.......Entered, according to the actual Congress, in the year 1878 by the Times publishing company, and the office of the Library of Congress, at Washington DC...Originally commissioned for the Philadelphia Weekly Times and first issued as a single volume in 1878, The Annals of the Civil War contains more than fifty articles and encompasses a variety of important personalities and topics. Within these pages Longstreet evaluates Lee's performance in Pennsylvania and his mistakes at Gettysburg; Kyd Douglas pays tribute to Stonewall Jackson as both general and man; H.V. Redfield examines the circumstances of John Hunt Morgans death; P.G.T. Beauregard discusses his brilliant fortification on Charleston Harbor; Joseph Johnson critiques Sherman's account of the Dalton-Atlanta operations; J.H. Reagan recalls his pursuit and capture that led to the last Confederate surrender; and much more. But the scope of The Annals is not limited to the achievements of the sword. Other articles focus on the political and personal aspects of the war. The exchange of prisoners, the carnival of fraud and profiteering that plagued both sides, Confederate Negro enlistments, the morale of Lee's army, as well as recollections of Generals Grant, Reynolds, Meade, Stuart, and Lee are also included. Today The Annals resides quietly in the highest ranks of Civil War literature.

Vocabulary appendix. James Hingston Tuckey (1776-1816) was an Irish-born explorer and a captain in the Royal Navy...At the age oif 17 he joined the navy and went to sea, was engaged in expeditions to the Red Sea, and in 1802 helped expand the British colony of New South Wales in Australia. As first lieutenant of the ship The CALCUTTA, Tuckey was captured by the French and was imprisoned for 9 years. While a prisoner, he married Miss Margaret Stuart, a fellow prisoner. After his release, Tuckey was promoted to the rank of commander and in February 1816 sailed to explore the River Congo in the schooner CONGO, accompany by the stores ship DOROTHY... "Most of the officers and crew died of fever and Tuckey himself died on 14 October, 1816 at age 40, in Moanda...He was described as tall and had been handsome, but long and arduous service broke down his constitution and by thirty he was grey-haired and nearly bald...He was gentle and kind in his manners, cheerful in conversation, and indulgent to those under his command..."

In fact, it seems that the anonymous revisor mentioned in the title thought very highly of the Commentaries, for he says in a footnote to the last paragraph of the introduction, concerning the objects of the law (p. 11): "Under these four large Heads, the learned Judge has with the greatest Perspicuity arranged his most elegant Commentaries on the Laws of England, which will be read, not only by Lawyers, but Englishmen of every Degree, Rank or Profession, who have any Regard for the Preservation of the Laws and Constitution of the British Empire, with infinite Pleasure and Delight, so long as those Laws and Constitution endure. Faxit DEUS in Secula Seculorum!" A casual perusal shows that a great many references to books published in since the prior edition have been added in the margins in this edition, including Blackstone's Commentaries, Burn's Justice in four volumes, Burrow's Reports, Wilson's Reports, and Vesey's Chancery Reports, as well as to the newly-fashionable seventeenth-century work, Sheppard's Touchstone of Common Assurances. · References: Johnson 207 (8 copies); Bridgman 367; Worrall 84; Marvin 743; S&M 1:38(88); Holdsworth, HEL 12:418-419; ESTC T101118., London: printed by W.

Inscribed by Author(s). 1st Edition. Stuart Palmers immortal crime-solving school teacher Hildegarde Withers came to the screen courtesy of a series of mysteries from RKO Pictures. Memorably played by character great Edna May Oliver in three features, Hildegarde was ably paired with her flirty foil of Inspector Piper in the person of James Gleason. Gleason would go on to anchor the series, appearing in all six, alongside Helen Broderick for one and Zasu Pitts for the final two. Miss Withers "whom the census enumerator had recently listed as 'spinster, born Boston, age thirty-nine, occupation school teacher'" becomes an amateur sleuth in the first book of the series. Her adventures are usually comic but are nevertheless straightforward mysteries. A lean, angular spinster lady, her unusual hats and the black cotton umbrella she carries are her trademark. ... Hildegarde collects tropical fish, abhors alcohol and tobacco, and appears to have an irritable disposition. However, she is a romantic at heart and will extend herself to help young lovers. She collaborates, and frequently butts heads, with Inspector Oscar Piper, a high-ranking homicide detective in the New York Police Department., The M. S.

A scarce jingoistic and virulently Francophobic screed, enumerating in great detail both historical invasions of Britain, from Caesar in 55 BC through to a failed French attempt in 1797, and various and lurid French cruelties, including but not limited to the beheading of pregnant women and the drinking of human blood. ESTC records 3 copies, at Oxford, Cambridge and NYPL, but dates it [1795?] and makes no mention of the plate (in which the public executioner of Paris, having no-one left to guillotine, guillotines himself). It was reviewed in the London periodicals in the autumn of 1798, and while the reviewer for The Critical Review complains that much of it was cribbed from William Cobbett, none venture an attribution. The NYPL copy has an early inscription to its title-page, attributing the work to a Mr Charles Stuart - perhaps meaning Charles Stuart, 1st Baron Stuart de Rothesay (1779-1845), or his father Sir Charles Stuart (1753-1801). The latter was a general who spent 1797-98 commanding a force defending Lisbon and then was sent with 3000 men to attack Menorca, leaving him little time to pen anonymous agitprop, while the former was, by the time of Waterloo, British ambassador to France but was 19 years old in 1798 - possible but by no means unquestionable attributions.

Company E of the 128th New York Regiment (drawn from Kinderhook, Chatham, Valatie, Hillsdale and Austerlitz) was organized at Camp Kelly in Hudson, New York and mustered in September 1862, leaving for Washington D.C. via New York City to Camp Millington, outside of Baltimore, where the regiment practiced drill, was set up just outside of Baltimore. When General J.E.B. Stuart's Confederates approached Gettysburg, the 128th was sent on a rapid jaunt to Gettysburg to engage the enemy but Stuart retreated upon learning of the Union Army's approach and no engagement was to be had. "In Gettysburg we lay that day / All anxious for a brush / But the Rebels did not seem inclined / To gratify our wish./ When they heard that we were coming/ South Mountain they passed o'er." In December 1862 the regiment headed south by ship to join General Nathaniel Banks' Department of the Gulf whose ultimate goal would be to open the Mississippi River to the Union. Sickness and disease devastated the ranks as the ship sailed to New Orleans. Thomas Potts (b.1836?), from Kinderhook, the author of this piece, was discharged shortly after arrival for a disability, on Feb 9 (or 6), 1863.

The first edition of 1908 was based on updated and edited articles which appeared first in the Journal of the Bombay Natural History Society. The popularity of the work resulted in this expanded printing with additions, corrections and material on new species and their geographical distribution. Some of the plates of the first edition have been replaced by better ones in this second edition; indeed, the present work is essentially a new one since it "adds a considerable amount of matter not obtainable by me when writing in India" (Introduction to Vol I). The first volume is devoted to the duck, the second to snipes, bustards and sand-grouse and the third to pheasants and bustard-quail. A unique in-depth insight into these birds' world. Baker (1864-1944), was one of the most eminent exponents of Indian ornithology. After being educated at Trinity College he entered the Indian Police Force in 1883, rising to the rank of Inspector-General. He spent most of his service in Assam, which provided him with the great opportunity of observing the wild life (of interest, he lost an arm while hunting panthers there).

Based on the articles which appeared few years earlier in the Journal (see above), the work represents a unique in-depth insight into the duck world, almost a birdwatcher's guide to the identification, habitat and habits of the member of the duck family in India.

The Worshipful Company of Gold and Silver Wyre Drawers is one of the Livery Companies of the City of London. The Gold and Silver Wyre Drawers were incorporated by Royal Charter in 1693; the City granted it the status of a Livery Company in 1780. The craft originally associated with the Company, namely the making of gold and silver thread for uniforms or ceremonial clothing, has declined but is still practised. Thus nowadays the Company functions mainly as a charitable body. The Gold and Silver Wyre Drawers' Company ranks seventy-fourth in the order of precedence of City Livery Companies. Its motto is Amicitiam Trahit Amor, Latin for Love leads to friendship or, more literally, "love draws friendship," a punning reference to the guild's ancient craft. The Gold and Silver Wyre Drawers' Company also has an associated Masonic Lodge, consecrated on 29 October 1945, membership of which is open only to Liverymen of the Company, its motto being "The Lodge of Love and Friendship", a play on words of the ancient livery company's motto. - Wikipedia; With a preface by H.W.

Westgarth emigrated to Port Phillip (Victoria) in 1840 and resided there until 1857. A prominent figure in the social and political development of Victoria, Westgarth represented Melbourne from 1850 to 1853 in the legislature of New South Wales and in the first legislative Council of Victoria. He was responsible for the passing of the 1852 resolution against the further transportation of convicts to the colony. 'Three modern historians have described Westgarth as 'the John Stuart Mill of Victoria', 'the outstanding sociological thinker of the colonies', and 'the most perceptive of the early Australian historians'. His four major books on Victoria, each of which were fresh treatments, were written primarily to provide accurate information on the colony and also to advertise it.Westgarth is distinctive in his period for his efforts to explain the course of historical events and to seek reasons for change, and for his occasional generalizations about the nature of colonial society.His pioneering statistical work was an aspect of his modern approach to the conduct of business and government. But his practical work as one of the most advanced radical liberals of his day ranks equally with his intellectual and literary achievement.'. (Geoffrey Serle, ADB) Ferguson 18418..

("This is a book of 16th century (Scottish) poems by a mysterious author, believed to have been a poet and musician associated with the court of Mary, Queen of Scots. This work contains all 36 extant poems attributed to Scott (ca. 1520-82/3), including what is considered to be his most historically important work, "Ane New Yeir Gift to Quene Mary" (1562), written in support of the young Scottish queen caught between Catholic and Protestant agendas. His other poems consist largely of lyric verses on love and sexuality, which DNB describes as possessing "exceptional metrical variety and vernacular directness" with "a musician's ear for rhythm and melody." Scott's poems are known to us via the Bannatyne manuscript (now held in the National Library of Scotland), which ranks among the most important documents of Scottish Medieval literature. Written by George Bannatyne in 1568 during a period of confinement due to an outbreak of plague, it contains a mixture of both secular and religious material, including the sole extant copies of several texts. In the preface to the present work, the publisher notes that Scott's poetry has been faithfully reproduced from that manuscript, and thus, "for the first time, accurately printed." Very little is known regarding the life of Alexander Scott, but he seems to have been attached to the court of Mary Stuart through John Erskine, a guardian and counselor to the queen. Given the very limited number of copies made, it is not surprising that this work is extremely rare on the market....."

Salmasius is known in French as Claude de Saumaise. After studying Latin and Greek with his father, he began a law career at Dijon in 1610. He turned to the study of theology, Hebrew, Arabic, and Persian when his Protestantism impeded his advancement in law. In 1631 he was called to the Univ. of Leiden to succeed Joseph Scaliger. There he produced 80 books and became widely known as a scholar of the first rank. Supporting the Stuarts, he wrote Defensio regia pro Carlo I (1649), upholding the divine right of monarchy, which brought a celebrated dissenting reply from John Milton. Salmasius major works include an important commentary on Pliny (1629), and Observationes in jus Atticum et Romanum (1645). In 1629 Salmasius produced his magnum opus as a critic, his commentary on Solinuss Polyhistor, or rather on Pliny, to whom Solinus is indebted for the most important part of his work. Greatly as this commentary may have been overrated by his contemporaries, it is a monument of learning and industry. Bookplate of MP Charles Bathurst.

His massive History of England is a neglected masterpiece, which remained a best seller for more than a century" (Cannon, 497). Possessing "a distinct place in the literature of England, Hume's History was the first attempt at a comprehensive treatment of historic facts, the first to introduce the social and literary aspects of a nation's life as only second in importance to its political fortunes, and the first historical writing in an animated yet refined and polished style" (Britannica). Hume decided not to expand his history beyond the Stuarts, partly because he doubted whether he (or his readers) "could maintain partiality concerning recent events" (Jessop, 27). Altogether, Hume's History "promises ever to hold a prominent place in the front rank of English literature" (Allibone, 916)., Printed for Millar & Cadell, 1773, 3, [St. Louis?], 1807. 3pp., plus integral address leaf marked Private. 4to.

Wilkinson (1757-1825) was a general in the American Revolution; he subsequently served in Wayne's Ohio campaign against the Indians, and was successively governor at Detroit, St. Louis, and New Orleans. He was embroiled in Aaron Burr's western schemes, and ultimately became a Texas landowner. James Brown was appointed by President Jefferson as the Secretary of Orleans Territory in 1804, and later accepted an appointment as the U.S. Attorney for the District of New Orleans, from 1805-1808. He later served as a U.S. Senator from Louisiana and as Ambassador to France. Though the first half of this letter is lacking, it would seem to have been written while Wilkinson was Governor of Louisiana Territory, stationed at St. Louis (1805-1807); it is addressed as private mail to Brown as Attorney & Advocate General at New Orleans (1805-1808). The opening line of Wilkinson's letter refers to the squabbles within the Army ranks about the order for short hair. Officers were expected to cut off their queue, or pigtails, in compliance with new Army regulations; this, however, caused a split in the ranks, and many of the old guard - who were primarily Federalists - resigned rather than submit to a trim. Lt. Col. Thomas Butler was, in fact, twice court martialed for refusing to comply. "These are both good officers, & the first is a [fringed?] cat, tho very fond of his hair, yet I doubt not the correctness of their judgment, or the soundness of their principles. I find [Stuart?] resigns & wishes to visit the seat of government; I expect in character of ambassador from Butler & Claiborne, to promote their [illegible] purposes & plat the devil with the Brigadier General; I should be glad to be informed of the standing of this charming trio. My poor Ann is with me accompanied by my son James, who remembers you with respectful attachment. My son Biddle is at Williams Burgh for a year to read law & hear the lectures, after which he will go into the office of Willm. Pinckney of Maryland, the great young man of our country." He goes on to wish Brown well, including what appears to be a reference to resisting the temptations of the colored ladies of New Orleans, followed by a slantwise reference to a new phase of his life: "I hope you have been able to realize all your hopes & expectations in the capital of the West [i.e., New Orleans], and that you may live long to enjoy the wealth you are accumulating. I hope also that your mercurial temperament does not expose or rather subject you to the sinful allurements which encompass you in all the various tints & shades of the human kind, from ebony to alabaster. I hope too that you are well with my friend Livingston, because of his charming disposition & generous soul. I am about to enter upon a new theatre & in a part which I have never before played. The result therefore can but be dubious, yet I despair not of avoiding the filth & dirt, with which my worthy brother near you has besmeared himself. The views of the Executive on my government differ entirely from those applied to every other colony, but I really have not time to say more than that depopulation constitutes a prime object."

John Stuart Mill considered that the arguments adduced by Butler were the turning point in his father's translation to scepticism. Newman marked avery different era in his religious opinions by his study of this work. Gladstone listed as his "four doctors" Butler, Aristotle, Dante and St Augustine'. - 'Butler's was an empirical approach, similar to Hume's, but he held that philosophic scepticism should not entail religious scepticism.

Tear on first page not affecting text, else very good condition. --Written to counter the prevalence of deism, which Butler saw as the consequence of the new universe, constructed after Copernicus, Newton and Descartes had destroyed the old, thisbook is perhaps the one lasting work to come out of the deist controversy. -'Hume, who sent Butler his Essays in 1741, ranked him with Locke and Berkeley as one of the originators of the experimental method in moral science. John Stuart Mill considered that the arguments adduced by Butler were the turning point in his father's translation to scepticism. Newman marked avery different era in his religious opinions by his study of this work. Gladstone listed as his "four doctors" Butler, Aristotle, Dante and St Augustine'. -'Butler's was an empirical approach, similar to Hume's, but he held that philosophic scepticism should not entail religious scepticism. Assuming, as the deists were prepared to, that God is the author of nature, there are no contradictions, obscurities or improbabilities in religious doctrine different in kind from those encountered in science. Thus the religious order and the scientific order are similar in nature, and both show the working of the Supreme Creator' (PMM). --with a bonus offer--<
