Edward Palmer (c.1555 1624), a curious and diligent Antiquarie . Camden is best remembered for his purchase of Garrett Island in the American colony of Virginia (present day Maryland), which he designated for the establishment of what would have been the first university in the English colonies. In 1622, Palmer received a patent for land from the Virginia Company of London. In his will made 22 November 1624, Palmer bequeathed his lands in Virginia and New England to his sons and nephew and declared that, should their issue fail, the land would be used for the founding of a university to be called, Academia Virginiensis et Oxoniensis, Academy of the Virgin and Oxford. The project died with the embezzlement of Palmer s treasury after his death. In the same year that Palmer received his patent a youth named Christopher Calthorpe came with Lt. Parfrey Virginia. He was cousin to Nathaniel Bacon ( the Rebel ) sometime President of the Virginia Council. Several members of his family were James or Elizabeth (they claimed kindred with the late queen) and we have not been able to identify particularly the ex-libris. Rare edition of this modernised verse paraphrase in six line stanzas, sometimes attributed to Thomas Heywood, of the Troy book of John Lydgate, which exercised an influence on Robert Henryson, Thomas Kyd, and Christopher Marlowe, and was one of Shakespeare s sources for Troilus and Cressida. Lydgate s original verse dedication to Prince Henry the Fift is retained in this modernised version. Troy Book is one of the most ambitious attempts in medieval vernacular poetry to recount the story of the Trojan war. John Lydgate, monk of the great Benedictine abbey of Bury St. Edmunds in Suffolk, began composing the poem in October 1412 on commission from Henry, Prince of Wales, later King Henry V, and he completed it in 1420. Lydgate s poem is a translation and expansion of Guido delle Colonne s Historia destructionis Troiae, a Latin prose account written in 1287 but based, without acknowledgement, on Benoît de Sainte-Maure s Old French Roman de Troie (c. 1160). Troy Book presents the full narrative and mythographic sweep that the Middle Ages expected for the story of Troy s tragic downfall. Though Lydgate wrote the poem some three decades after Chaucer s Troilus and Criseyde, it furnishes the essential background that educated medieval readers would have brought to Chaucer s poem and to Chaucer s source, Boccaccio s Filostrato. . In the late Middle Ages and Renaissance, Troy Book enjoyed considerable reputation and influence. . Robert R. Edwards. Troy Book: Selections. ESTC S119764 STC 5581.5. Lowndes 1419.

Erstausgabe
8vo, pp. [ii], ii, 66, [65]-'242' (mistake for 252); xii, 86; plus an engraved portrait frontispiece and one other plate (see below); bound in contemporary calf, gilt, spine gilt, contrasting red and blue morocco labels (rubbed, corners worn; later printed label '97' on upper cover). First edition. Curll's dedication to this final volume of Pope's letters is 'To my subscribers encore', and it concludes with a threat: 'The Controversy between ME and Mr. POPE will never be ended till the Eyes of one of Us are closed (I mean by Death, not by Dr. Taylor) if Mine are open longest, to the last Volume of Literary Correspondence shall be prefixed A faithful Account of Mr. POPE's Life and Writings, with a true Copy of his Last Will and Testament, if he makes one'. Much of the first and longer portion of this volume consists of letters taken from the recently published 'official' edition of Pope's correspondence; included are letters to and from Swift. The section ends with a splendid two-page poem by Curll, Parodie on the Imitation of the Second Epistle of the Second Book of Horace, whose final quatrain is appropriate: Thus for your Sake Sir, I have play'd the Fool, As Boys make random Verses when at School, And when you offer any thing that's New Wagging must be my Quill, and so adieu. (p. '242') The frontispiece to the volume is an engraving of Vertue's portrait of Swift, and there is also an engraved portrait of Bolingbroke at p. 8. Although the second of these is correct, the first seems to be a substituted plate: in the Bodleian copy the frontispiece is a bust portrait of Pope by Jonathan Richardson. The second part of the volume is devoted to the sheets of Curll's edition of the collected works of William Walsh (1736), with four leaves of preliminaries cancelled; copies are also known in which these leaves are preserved.

FIRST EDITION OF SCORE, engraved title, contents table with small ad for further Arne compositions published by Walsh at foot of page, music with 15 to 18 staves per page, inscribed '2' at title lower margin, pp. [iv], 2-105, folio, modern half calf with marbled boards, spine with gilt-lettered label, very good. Thomas Arne's early years were spent at Eton and under the tutelage and friendship of the composer Michael Festing who introduced him to Italian opera and the oratorios of Handel (and with whom he attended the St. George's, Hanover Square, organist competition, won by Thomas Roseingrave - see no. ?) Arne was notably prolific, writing approximately 90 stage works between 1733 and 1776. Though Eliza (Queen Elizabeth I), a celebration of English character set against the backdrop of the threat of the Spanish Armada, the libretto by Richard Rolt, was suppressed following its first performance in May 1754 at the Haymarket, by the Lord Chamberlain, it was successfully revived at the Smock Alley Theatre, Dublin, 1755, before returning to London at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in 1756. The singers mentioned in the caption titles of this edition are those who performed in these revivals: Mr. Beard, Miss Eliza Young, Mrs Vernon, Signora Frasi, and not least, Miss Brent, Arne's pupil and mistress (following the separation from his wife in 1755). The edition itself was published without recitatives or choruses, the instrumentation is modern for its day, employing drums, horns, trumpets, oboes, bassoons and strings, and the influence of both Handel and Italian baroque opera are to the fore. (Parkinson, 'Eliza', Grove Online, 2007) 'Some of the music is very beautiful, and long remained popular.'

Two volumes bound in one, 8vo, pp. [ii], vi, 12, ii, [ii], 111; [ii], ii, 112; with errata slip pasted to the verso of the flytitle to the first volume; finely bound in contemporary tree calf, neatly rebacked, new gilt morocco label. A fine author's presentation copy of this rare book, with a lengthy inscription on the upper free endpaper: 'To Miss E. Deakin, as a small Testimony of Friendship & Esteem, these Poems are presented by the Author'. Booker then goes on to inscribe a two-stanza, eight-line poem, signed with his initials and dated 20 March 1787, beginning: 'Sweet is the incense of the vernal Moon, To Nature rising from the lowliest plains; Nor will Eliza's gentle bosom scorn The grateful tribute of these humble strains.' Luke Booker (1762-1835) was lecturer at the church in Wolverhampton, and was ordained the same year this book was published. He was clearly adept at obtaining subscriptions, as the twelve-page subscription list is full of local people, among them a Miss Deakin of Wolverhampton, the Rev. J. Deakin of Edgbaston and Mr J. Deakin of London - it seems fair to assume that Eliza Deakin was a daughter of one of these last two, although because the poem here is dated almost two years after the printed preface, she may well not be the Miss Deakin who subscribed. Later provenance: John Sparrow, with his booklabel, and also with his blue-green slip inserted to remind him that it was an special copy. Sparrow was born in Wolverhampton (he was a lifelong supporter of Wolves), and must have especially treasured this unusual midlands association copy. The binding is quite elaborate and was very likely done in Birmingham or Wolverhampton, perhaps even in the workshop of the publisher, Joseph Smart: he is recorded in Ramsden as having been a binder (p. 150). ESTC locates eight copies of this book in the UK, all of them in England (three in Birmingham alone); and six in America.

"The Frugal Housewife or Complete Woman Cook by Susannah Carter was the only cookbook printed in this country between 1742 and 1796, a period that included both the late Colonial and the early years of these United States.Where history books abound with battles and political maneuvering The Frugal Housewife shows the warm earthiness of home and hearth, family and friends, food and drink in the years when or forefathers established this nation.[During this time] the vast majority of the population was rural and most of them could not read or write. There was little need for cookbooks and very few were printed. In Williamsburg in 1742 a reprint of an English cookbook was printed. It was The Compleat Housewife or Accomplish'd Gentlewoman's Companion by E. (Elizabeth or Eliza) Smith. [Which is unobtainable, only one copy known]. During the following fifty years-from 1742 until 1792 there was only one cookbook printed in this country. This was The Frugal Housewife or Complete Woman Cook by Susannah Carter. In 1772 it was printed and sold by Eads and Gill in Queenstreet, Boston. The date of publication has been fixed by an advertisement in the Boston Gazette for Monday, March 2, 1772. It was a long-lived title, for it appeared again in 1792, Printed for Berry and Rogers, No. 35 Hanover Square, New York." (Jean McKibbin, Introduction to the 1976 reprint of The Frugal Housewife) "In this revised and corrected edition of the Frugal Housewife, several considerable Improvements have been made, which will be obvious upon perusal. -It was also suggested by the Author, that, as the chief excellence of all Cookery consists in a perfect acquaintance with the making of Gravies and Sauces, it would be proper to place these Chapters at the Beginning of the Volume, and to prefix a Number to each; whereby, when the young Cook consults any Receipt she may want, she will not only be informed what Sauce she is to serve it up with, but will be referred to the Number and Page where that Sauce may be found.

A nice artefact, a number of Carlile's celebrated radical journal 'The Republican' (espousing not only republicanism but also atheism, abolitionism and birth control) as it appeared from the press. For information on Carlile - described by E. P. Thompson as a 'Showman of Free Thought' - and his 'moral wife' the suffragist Eliza Sharples, see their entries in the Oxford DNB. For publishing various 'blasphemous' works by Thomas Paine, Carlile was fined £1500 and sentenced to three years in Dorchester Gaol. He refused to pay the fine, and his premises in Fleet Street were raided and his stock confiscated. While in prison he continued to write articles for The Republican which, published by his wife Jane, is said to have outsold pro-government newspapers such as The Times as a result of the publicity. [32]pp, 8vo, paginated 65-96, in original plain blue side-stitched wraps, uncut edges. Internally in fair condition, on lightly aged and worn paper, in worn and chipped wraps. No full title. Drophead title, p.65: 'The Republican. | No. 3. Vol. V.] London, Friday, Jan. 18, 1822. [Price 6d.' At foot of p.65: 'Printed and Published by R. CARLILE, 55, Fleet Street.'

Carlile, 'To the Christian Judge Bailey' (letter dated 'Dorchester Gaol, Jan. 7, 1822'). The first item attacks Cobbett, and features the following representative passage: 'I detest and abhor the slave trade, and view the master as equally degraded with his slave. I am not one of those who think the white man a superior being to the negro. From all that I have read and witnessed, I infer that the inhabitants of Africa have mental capacities equal to the inhabitants of Asia, Europe, or America. There are shades of difference among the inhabitants of each quarter of the globe; but St. Domingo is a case in point that the negroes are a race capable of mental cultivation. Viewing man, as I do, to be nothing more than an animal, existing upon the same principle as every other animal does, and to perish by death as every other animal does, it cannot for a moment be imagined that I am an advocate for any kind of animal slavery. [.] If it ever becomes my lot to be thrown upon the hospitality of the inhabitants of the United States, I promise to attack their traffic in slaves, and two or three other failings in their character as Republicans, with all the power I may possess. I am astonished to think that there is now no writer in America to follow in the steps of Paine and Palmer, and to go on to beat down the horrid idolatry and fanaticism which exists there.' Accompanied by Hypatia Bradlaugh Bonner's article 'Richard Carlile: A Stalwart of Liberty', on loose leaves extracted from a magazine, paginated 53-60.

For information on Carlile - described by E. P. Thompson as a 'Showman of Free Thought' - and his 'moral wife' the suffragist Eliza Sharples, see their entries in the Oxford DNB. At the time of writing Carlile was in prison for refusal to pay the church rates. The proofs Carlile asks to be allowed to receive in the first letter are presumably those of his journal 'The Gauntlet'. The phrenologist 'Mr. Hohn' referred to in the second of the letters - the 'Mr. Holme' of the accompanying slip - is the German-born physician and phrenologist John Diederick Holm (d.1856). Carlile's relationship with Teague appears to have been unorthodox: see the letter from Carlile to Teague, dated 'Compter, July 3, 1832', published in 'The Isis', 7 July 1832. ONE: 1p, 8vo. Aged and worn, with closed tears and chips to edges. Folded three times. Addressed at foot to 'Mr. Teague'. He begins: 'Sir | To-morrow being Christmas Day and no business day, putting our regular week's business in advance a day; will you be so good to let my son or servant come to me and wait for a proof sheet this evening | respectfully | Richd: Carlile'. TWO: On bifolium. Addressed on reverse of second leaf to 'Mr. Teague'. In poor condition, aged and worn, on brittle discoloured paper with chipping, closed tears, and slight discoloration at head of first page. Folded several times. The letter reads: 'Sir, | I was under engagement with Mr. Hohn the Phrenologist to let him have a cast of my head before I came to this place again. I am the more anxious about it now; because I want to see what improvement I can make in it by three years prison discipline (self imposed.) He wishes to come to day and if you have no objection and if it be required I will take him and his two assistants instead of other visitors. And if you have curiosity you are welcome to see the process. | Respectfully | R. Carlile'. Accompanying the second letter is a 5.5 x 15.5 cm slip of paper cut from a contemporaneous letter, reading: '[.] Please also to let Mr. Carlile Know that a little after One or perhaps about 2 in the afternoon Mr. Holme myself and an Italian Moulderer will go to the Compter to take his Cast and bring his Wigg [.]'.

Rebound, with each volume retaining its original title page.Adorned with a motto from Shakespeare"s Henry V "Familiar in their Mouths as Household Words", Charles Dickens"s two-penny weekly magazine of original short fiction and social journalism was launched to widespread publicity on 30 March 1850, featuring no advertisements or illustrations.The publication contained a mix of short fiction and non-fiction, and serialised some popular works, including 'Cranford' and 'North and South' by Elizabeth Gaskell, and 'The Dead Secret' by Wilkie Collins'. The non-fiction has a focus on social matters; while the paper advertised itself as championing the causes of the working classes and the poor, it actually addressed itself primarily to middle class audiences.Of just under four-hundred contributors, around were women - Elizabeth Gaskell, Harriet Martineau, and Eliza Lynn Linton prominent amongst them - but the majority of the articles were written by a small group of male staff writers - W. H. Wills, Henry Morley, Wilkie Collins, and R. H.

Zustand: Near Fine. A collection of nine letters by members of the Gurdenier family of Nyack, New York, written from 1852-54 to two brothers mining for gold in California. Eight letters were written by Charles (likely the youngest of three brothers) and their mother Eliza. The ninth letter was written by a friend or relative of the two brothers at the "Douglass Flat" mining camp in Calaveras County, California. The earliest letter is very good with a few tiny tears at the original corner folds, else the other eight are near fine overall, neatly written in ink. Both Charles and Eliza write with affection and concern for both brothers, John and Theophilus, and both comment and speculate on their gold mining activities at Mariposa and Calaveras County. As noted in a letter from 1853: "now it is almost 5 years since you [Theophilus] left us and over 3 since John left ." Theophilus struck out at the beginning of the gold rush in 1849. In his first letter to John from September 1852, Charles paints a dire picture of life at home in Nyack: ". oh how many times your mother has weeped for you . I am a clerk in Smith Tallman's Store. I get 4 dollars a month . As for R.H. Felter [a business partner] he has busted up and your father has lost a great deal of money by it, and I think he is a damn shit ass . Your sister Julia is not very well . Your father goes on the steamboat Washington Irving . it is very hard work for him . I wish you would send me a little gold. We have heard nothing from Theo in a great while, I think he is dead ." It is not until nearly a year later (August, 1853), that they find out why Theo was incognito: ". Having received a letter from you we were all glad to hear you was yet alive after having been caved upon by the falling in of a shaft injuring you some considerably which I hope you will be better soon and regain your health . I feel grateful to you for rebuking me . we thought you was dead until you wrote from Mariposa | we haven't had no letter from you before this one in over 2 years . I am sorry to say when mother opened my letter she dropped my Gold out and we could not find it | send me more if you please, 1 little speck ." According to two letters from 1854 written by Eliza, both brothers appear to be doing well, and continue to enclose gold in their letters back home: "My dear children . the gold you sent us has been a great curiosity to all who have seen it. | To think is was dug out of the earth | I have heard it was dangerous work | I hope no accident will befall you again . // . we are all glad to hear . that you were at work in one place together . Theophilus my dear son you wrote you had given John an interest with you which I think is a grateful feeling you have toward him. We received your letters October the 31 and the gold in them all safe | a piece for Julia and a piece for Mary and a piece for Charles ." Also included is a mysterious letter written at "Douglass Flat" with a hard to read date (1855?) that was hand delivered by Theophilus: "Dear Brother . I have been in the Sons of Temperance for the last six months and I have had steady work pretty much all the time although I have not drawed any money for the last 4 months past and I thought I would not draw any till I can send a large sum home to you | Although I don't like to send any at present as the expresses . from here has failed and a great many poor people have lost all they have ever made . / . You will receive this letter from a young man that works the next claim to where I work and he will tell you all the particulars about me | his name is Theophilus Gaudinier . John [?]" A compelling cache of letters that provide a detailed first-hand account of the dangers and rewards experienced by an East Coast family with two brothers mining for gold in California at the height of the gold rush. A detailed list of all nine letters, including extracts, is available.

"Onkel Toms Hütte (engl. Uncle Tom s Cabin) ist ein 1852 veröffentlichter Roman von Harriet Beecher Stowe, der das Schicksal einer Reihe afroamerikanischer Sklaven und ihrer Eigentümer in den vierziger Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika schildert. Die Titelfigur Onkel Tom ist ein Sklave in Kentucky. Sein Herr Mr. Shelby behandelt ihn gut. Tom ist als Verwalter der Farm tätig. Er ist bekennender Christ und leitet regelmäßig die Gottesdienste der Sklaven. Als Tom jedoch aus Geldmangel verkauft werden muss, wird er von seiner Frau und seinen Kindern getrennt. Sein neuer Eigentümer Herr St. Claire ist ein gutmütiger, nachsichtiger Lebemann. St. Claires Tochter Eva entwickelt eine innige Freundschaft zu Tom, stirbt aber an Schwindsucht. St. Claire hat sich unter dem Einfluss seiner Cousine Ophelia, die ihm den Haushalt führt, zu einem Gegner der Sklavenhalterei entwickelt und will Tom freilassen. Sein plötzlicher gewaltsamer Tod durch einen Messerstich verhindert dies, und seine Witwe Marie denkt nicht daran, auf den Verkaufserlös zu verzichten. So gelangt Tom an Mr. Legree, der mit äußerster Brutalität eine Baumwollplantage betreibt. Als einziger Weißer wohnt er in einem heruntergekommenen Herrschaftshaus. Seinen Sklaven ist jede Menschlichkeit abhandengekommen. Es gelingt Mr. Legree, alle gegeneinander auszuspielen. Tom bekommt er nicht so weit. Tom soll zum Aufseher über die anderen Sklaven werden, weigert sich aber, jemanden zu schlagen. Stattdessen übt Tom durch seine praktizierte christliche Nächstenliebe einen positiven Einfluss auf alle aus, was Mr. Legree besonders zuwider ist. Er will Tom durch körperliche Züchtigung dazu zwingen, seinen christlichen Glauben aufzugeben. Doch Tom widersteht und verzeiht sterbend seinen Peinigern. Mr. Shelbys Sohn, George Shelby, versucht nach dem Tod seines Vaters vergeblich, das Tom gegebene Versprechen einzulösen, ihn zurückzukaufen, kann ihn aber nur begraben und versprechen, gut für seine Familie zu sorgen. Daraufhin lässt er seine Sklaven frei, um sie gegen Bezahlung in seinen Dienst zu nehmen. Parallel dazu wird die Geschichte der Sklavin Eliza, die aus dem gleichen Haushalt wie Tom stammt, ihres Mannes George Harris und ihres Sohnes Harry erzählt, denen mit Hilfe von Quäkern die Flucht nach Kanada gelingt. Dort treffen sie auf Georges Schwester und Elizas Mutter, die beide ebenfalls auf unterschiedlichen Wegen der Sklaverei entronnen sind, und gehen zunächst nach Frankreich, wo George studiert. Danach wandert die ganze Familie nach Liberia aus, um beim Aufbau des afrikanischen Staates, der als Zufluchtsstätte für ehemalige Sklaven gegründet wurde, zu helfen. Toms Hütte bleibt zurück als Mahnmal an die Zurückgebliebenen: Folgt alle im Gedächtnis an ihn seinem Beispiel: Seid ehrlich, treu und christlich, wie er es war, und gedenkt eurer Freiheit jedesmal, wenn ihr Onkel Toms Hütte seht!" Im März 1851 schrieb Stowe an Gamaliel Bailey, den Herausgeber der Zeitschrift The National Era. Bailey schlug sie eine Art Fortsetzungsroman in Form von kurzen Geschichten vor, die das unglückliche Leben in der Sklaverei schildern sollten. In dieser Zeitschrift, einem Organ der Sklavereigegner, erschien der Roman ab dem 5. Juni 1851 unter dem Titel Uncle Tom s Cabin; or, Life Among the Lowly. Getrieben von ihrem Glaubenseifer verfasste die Autorin jede Woche eine Fortsetzung. In der Ausgabe vom 1. April 1852 erschien die letzte Folge. Bailey honorierte die Verfasserin mit dreihundert Dollar. Bereits vor Abschluss dieses Romans hatte sich der Verleger John P. Jewett aus Boston für die Buchrechte interessiert. Am 20. März 1852 wurde der Roman noch vor den beiden letzten Fortsetzungen in einer Auflage von 5.000 Stück als Buch herausgegeben und war innerhalb von 48 Stunden vergriffen. Im selben Jahr erreichten die Verkaufszahlen in den Vereinigten Staaten 300.000 Stück, in England wurden eine Million Exemplare verkauft, außerdem entstanden deutsche, niederländische, flämische, französische, spanische, italienische und schwedische Übersetzungen. Die frühesten deutschen Ausgaben erschienen 1852 gleichzeitig in mehreren renommierten Verlagen. Das Werk erhielt dabei unterschiedliche Untertitel: Onkel Toms Hütte. Eine Negergeschichte (1852), Onkel Toms Hütte; oder Sklaverei im Lande der Freiheit (1852), Onkel Toms Hütte: oder die Geschichte eines christlichen Sklaven (1852). Onkel Tom`s Hütte; oder Negerleben in den Sklavenstaaten von Nordamerika (1853) Harriet Beecher Stowe benutzte als Quelle für ihren Roman die Memoiren von Pfarrer Josiah Henson, eines früheren US-amerikanischen Sklaven. Henson flüchtete 1830 nach Kanada und lebte dort seit 1841 in Dresden, Ontario. In den USA kam es zu einer Reihe von Bearbeitungen für das Theater, auf deren Stil Harriet Beecher Stowe keinen Einfluss nehmen konnte. Dennoch blieb die Bühnenfassung in den nächsten 80 Jahren eines der erfolgreichsten Stücke in der Geschichte des amerikanischen Theaters. Nach Schätzungen waren allein in den 1890er Jahren rund einhundert Ensembles mit dem Stück auf Tournee. 1853 veröffentlichte Beecher Stowe ein zweites Buch: A Key to Uncle Tom s Cabin. Dort brachte sie Belege für ihre Darstellungen und reagierte auf ihre zahlreichen Kritiker, die nach dem Erscheinen von Onkel Toms Hütte auf den Plan traten. In den Jahren bis zum Ausbruch des Bürgerkrieges 1861 erscheinen allein 27 Romane, die sich mehr oder weniger als Anti-Onkel-Tom-Romane" verstehen lassen. Der Abraham Lincoln zugeschriebene Satz, mit dem er Harriet Beecher Stowe während des Bürgerkrieges 1862 empfangen haben soll ( So this is the little lady who started this big war.", übersetzt Das ist also die kleine Dame, die diesen großen Krieg begonnen hat."), ist historisch nicht gesichert. Fest steht jedoch, dass Onkel.

ONE: 2pp., 12mo. Bifolium with mourning border. In good condition, on lightly aged paper. He is enclosing a letter from 'Dr Braun in Rome', and suggests that Smyth will be able to correct the translation. 'I am sorry Dr Braun is not more successful, but he has zeal in the Cause, & will not lose an opportunity.' TWO: 3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, on aged paper, with remains of mount on blank page. A letter of condolence on the death of Smyth's tenth child, Caroline Mary Smyth (1834-1859). Northumberland has refrained from writing while the death was 'a fresh wound', 'for I know that no human condolence could give you any solace to your grief'. His wife, who shares in his sentiments, thanks Mrs Smyth [ Eliza Anne Warington, the bluestocking 'Annarella' (1788-1873) ] for sending her a sermon, 'as it was an assurance of a kindly feeling, & of mutual sincere condolence'. The letter ends with news of a visit to Alnwick by Doctor Lee and his wife.

Letter One: 12mo, 4 pp. Bifolium. 75 lines of text. Clear and complete. Good, on lightly-aged paper. Expresses regret at 'Morten Edens melancholy death, so young & so clever as he was'. 'There is great talk of Peace. We hardly know if to believe it - few will be sorry should the news prove to be true, as I think most of us have had enough fighting. Apparently refers to his sweetheart under a cypher. She has not written to him, but 'London gaieties have little time for correspondence'. 'The weather here is something awful - cold & wet, fogs & sleet. The place is a sea of mud up to your knees without exaggeration.' His father has sent him food and clothing. The officers are 'getting up a school for the men as the weather is too bad for drill', but 'there is no scarcity of work', with the roads requiring constant repair and 'the Minie Rifle Instruction' going on daily. 'There was a good deal of firing on Sunday night down by the Tchernaya - and we rather expected an attack however it all ended in Smoke.' The docks, which he considers 'the most splendidly finished' he has ever seen, 'built up of that beautiful red & blue granite', have 'all been blown up'. Letter Two: 12mo, 4 pp. Bifolium. 67 lines of text. Clear and complete. Fair, on aged paper, with 6 cm vertical closed tear through both leaves. Containing an interesting description of 'Spring (horse) races' which took place 'in the Valley of the Tchernaya' as a result of an armistice. The allied armies crowded the banks on one side of the river, and on the other 'the Russians let loose for the occasion'. There was much bartering - 'Knifes [sic], Pipes, Tobacco, Money and various other articles [.] thrown across the river attached to a stone, or enveloped in mud. The river is not more than 2 or 3 yards wide at some places, so that we could have plenty of conversation with our Enemies, without breaking the "General order". The French were allowed by their Chiefs to cross and they appeared to get on capitally with the Russian Officers'. The French fired 101 guns in a general salute to the heir to their emperor, and the British returned the salute with the same number. Regarding the outcome of 'the conferences' hears that 'you people in England are very pugilistic and are determined to have war if you can'. Considers that the British Army 'was never in better condition for a campaign', and thinks it 'a pitty to stop just now'. Gibson was still alive in 1864, when he married Georgina Eliza, daughter of William Clarke. Note: "The 49th was at the battles of Alma, Inkerman and Sevastopol during which three Victoria Crosses were awarded to members of the Regiment.".

2 ALS. Manuscript in ink on 8vo size bifolium. First letter: 4pp. on 2 loose bifolium, with cover bearing 1854 imperforate orange ?woodblock? Victoria sixpence issue stamp, cancellation stamps, addressed to Mrs Griffin, Maids Morton, Buckinghamshire, England. Melbourne, 16 September 1855. Second letter: 2pp on single bifolium, with cover bearing same stamp, also cancelled, addressed to George Nelson Esq. Solicitor, Buckingham, County of Buckingham, England. Melbourne, 17 April Two emotive letters from an early British émigré to Melbourne, sending news particularly of marital issues back to a friend and later a solicitor in Buckingham. Diana Higgs arrived at Melbourne in January 1853 aboard the Ben Nevis with her husband Joseph (as 'Jas' in Unassisted Passenger Lists, VPRS: 947). Of the other Higgs' on that vessel, it is certain that Eliza Ann and likely that Ann Louisa are her children, although another child William may also be hers. It is uncertain the relationship of another adult passenger, Eliza Higgs. Diana signs off her first letter ?D Higgs, W & E Carter?, suggesting that passenger Will Carter (listed in the Ben Nevis records) is also a family member. It is clear that from the start, he husband was a bad egg. The first letter, addressed to a Ms Griffin in Buckinghamshire sets the scene: ?Mr Higgs was ill for three weeks of the dissentry and has done so very little work since we have been here . [he] has been quite a drawback to us when mother had boarders he would quarrel with them and they would leave? She stressed the employment the rest of the family have found - her mother running a board and lodgings house, herself in ?the millianry and dress making?, their son William with a ?paper hangger?, and that her husband sought none, his excuse being ?that he did not like the collany? It appears that following the disturbance to her lodgers, Diana Higgs' mother was ?compeled to send him to England?, leaving her in debt £224.0 - a sizeable sum. The purpose of this letter therefore is to set straight any ?unfavourable account of us? which friends back home might receive from Joseph Higgs. The second letter, written six month later, shows how Diana Higgs' situation has worsened. Addressed to a solicitor, George Nelson Esq., it is apparent that upon his return to England, Joseph Higgs had continued to menace his wife by requesting that she return the two children to England at her own expense. She goes on to rebuff this request: ?You are not perhaps aware of his treatment to me [.] I had been married to him for seven years previous to his leaving me during which time he neither supported me or the children leading an idle drunken and dissipated life[.] He has beaten me for no reason and I have been compelled to have him bound to the Peace[.] He has cruelly beaten me and the children and his conduct to them was so bad that they have no affection for him [.] He took from me my last sixpence to pay his passage home money that I had earned by my own industry.? The case takes an interesting turn with the revelation that the children in question are not biologically those of Diana Higgs, in spite of which she continues to fight for their welfare as well as her own: ?I have been a mother to them[.] Many stepmothers placed in my situation would have acted far differently [.] My Husband in his letter threatens me that if I do not comply with his wishes He will return to the colony. Let him come.? Aside from the material relating to Diana Higgs' unfortunate marital situation, she also includes in her letter to Ms Griffin an account of her experiences in the new climate and landscape. ?The day we landed it was on the 5 of January it was a very hot day what is called a hot wind bowing from the north clouds of dust and the sun burning the skin off our faces these winds generally last three days at a time and when the wind turnes it is all to gether as could it is considered a healthy country the trees are ever greens the yarrer is a beautifull river which supplies us with water as we have no wells or pumps we pay 5 shillings for a load of water. Melbourne and the roads are very much emproved since came, at the time when you have such fearful cold weather we do not know ware to to put ourselfs to keep cool. I do not think we could live in England after living here four or five years?.

Condition variable but generally good, some portions tightly folded or rolled, some secured with a pin or stitched, many loose.Albert Richard Smith (1816 1860) trained as a surgeon but shortly afterwards turned to the world of letters, becoming a regular contributor to Bentley's Miscellany and Punch; he adapted works by his friend Dickens for the theatre and edited The Man in the Moon (1847 9). 'During the course of his career Smith published nearly thirty books. His novels, more notable for their wit than their plots, enjoyed modest commercial success but little critical acclaim Smith became best known, however, for his entertaining lectures about his travels in the 1850s.' He journeyed to Constantinople and Egypt in 1849 and ascended Mont Blanc in 1851, both of which became the subject of shows. Mont Blanc was a runaway success, running for 6 years (and 2000 performances), and was even performed before the Queen in 1854. It earned Smith a fortune in merchandise; it also established the peak as a major tourist destination at a time it was still infrequently climbed. In between each season he would travel to the Alps, taking a different route, in search of new content and exhibits for his shows. In 1854 for example his route to Chamonix took in Holland and Germany not France, and in 1856 he travelled via Genoa, Naples, Pompei and Capri. Seeking more exotic material, in 1858 Smith went to Hong Kong. The result of this last journey was Mont Blanc to China, which combined all his famous shows into one blockbuster. This series was cut short by his death of bronchitis in May 1860.The present archive is a fascinating one, spanning Smith's whole career, with a few pieces relating to other members of his family. The earliest item is some touching autograph 'Verses written at the time he was in affliction and crying.24 Miles from his dear Mama and home' (c.1826?), when he was sent to board at Merchant Taylor's School at the age of ten. The last are copies of his will and the sale notice for his house North End Lodge in Fulham in 1860; and the printed In Memoriam for his brother and business partner Arthur Smith in 1861.The main body of the archive though comprises more than 45 autograph drafts (or partial drafts) for scenes from Smith shows, some present in multiple versions, and most showing evidence of the extensive process of revision that Smith undertook as he performed then re-used material there are collages of printed cuttings and manuscripts, carbon copies, sections cut out and new portions inserted, and loose scraps of notes. Many contain instructions for staging and for the music to be played at certain points of the action.Contents include:ShowsThe Ascent of Mont Blanc 1857 scripts for new scenes describing his visits Pompei, Naples, Malta and Capri as well as chapter in Chamonix (in total 60+ leaves); an issue of The Mont Blanc Gazette for 1858.Mont Blanc to China: a printed programme, draft manuscripts (with heavy editing) of Part I sections 1 4 (complete), and Part II section, 1 5, some fragmentary, section 1 in two drafts. Also 'China (second season)' (in total 50+ leaves).Other dramatic pieces and prose'Anthony and Cleopatra'. A curious pageant featuring a conversation between Osiris, a mummy, and the comedian Robert Keeley (Smith's father-in-law). With the fantastic line 'The mummies join awkwardly in the dance' .'The Water of Life'. Scenes 1, 3 (fragile and fragmentary) and 4 of an unidentified piece featuring King Pantagruel, Prince Fastiman, Prince Prettyman, and Princess Amy. At one point they travel in a 'steam nautilus'. Carbon copies.'"Tell Truth and shame the !" (A supernatural interlude, in one act)'. 'The Pedigree of a Petticoat'.'The Gentleman who feared he was not believed', two drafts.Several interludes involving a Yankee, and others featuring the travellers Brown Senior and Junior (recurring characters in the shows).Poetry'Verses written at the time he was in affliction and crying.24 Miles from his dear Mama and home' (c.1826?). 'The Table d'Hote'. Written on the blank versos of four copies of The Destruction of Chamouni by Fire 1858, a leaflet printed by Smith soliciting subscription funds in aid of the inhabitants.'The Mediterranean Steamer'.A packet of verse written on cards, mostly political in nature.Personal material Autograph letter to his sister Laura Eady, December 1859, inviting his nephew for a visit 'during the pantomimes'.Letters to Laura Smith (later Eady) from Richard Smith (father, d.1857), c.1820 30; Eliza Frances Smith (sister), 1838; and Harriet Boileau (several, London and India, 1840).Conduct book of Eliza Frances Smith August 1 28, 1832.

FIRST EDITION; hand-coloured title-vignette of a rose, 4 chromolithographed plates, one folding map, woodcut illustrations amongst the text; very light toning; pp. x, [2], 402; 8vo; contemporary quarter tan calf and marbled boards, spine gilt with thistle device in compartments, red label; the binding a little scuffed with some damage to the leather at the head of the backstrip, withal, a very attractive copy. The first English language guide to the mountain range produced by a woman alpinist. The guide documents the adventurer's experiences on the Tour of Monte Rosa, a now legendary 102-mile hike through the Swiss and Italian Alps, with the Monte Rosa massif - the second highest mountain in western Europe, at its centre. Eliza Cole was a pioneer who exhorted other women to follow in her footsteps; she aims 'to give, in the following pages, the benefits of my experience to others, in the hope of inducing them, and especially members of my own sex to follow my example, and visit the valleys which surround this magnificent mountain, some of which have been hitherto but little frequented.' Some of her wisdom: 'Two or three hours in the badly-ventilated rooms of a crowded picture gallery will generally produce a feeling of more thorough fatigue than a journey over an eight-hours' pass in the pure, invigorating mountain air.' A lady should 'have a dress of some light woollen material, such as carmelite or alpaca, which, in case of bad weather, does not look utterly forlorn when it has once been wetted and dried.' The hiker needs: 'a pair of easily-fitting, strong, treble-soled, broad-footed boots.' If the soles are thick enough to screw Lund's glacier nails - 'to be had at Lund's cutlery shop in Fleet Street' - into them when necessary, 'great additional security will be felt in walking over a glacier.' The traveller 'should also have a small waterproof bag, large enough to contain Murray's indispensable 'Handbook', some good maps, a small opera-glass, a few spare straps, and veils for crossing the snow.' Keep 'a flask, with a roll, biscuit, or some trifling thing to eat, and to which one can get access to at the moment it is required.' Cole's book was illustrated by George Barnard (c.1807-90). 'Barnard was one of the first Alpine artists to draw mountains with any degree of accuracy' (Neate). (Meckly 51; Neate C88; Perret 1049).

19 x 13 cm, Leinen. 167 S. Einband berieben und bestoßen. Etwas leimschattig. Innen sauber. Gutes Leseexemplar. "Johannes Jacobus van Oosterzee (* 1. April 1817 in Rotterdam; 27. Juli 1882 in Wiesbaden) war ein niederländischer reformierter Theologe. Oosterzee stammte aus einer gut bürgerlichen Familie. Seine Eltern waren der städtische Steuereinnehmer Mattheus Henrik van Oosterzee (* 13. Januar 1779 in Rotterdam; 17. April 1823 ebenda) und die Pfarrerstochter Debora Jacoba Thomson (get. 16. Januar 1777 in Ritthem; 15. Dezember 1844 in Rotterdam). Anfänglich besuchte er die französische Schule und 1830 das Erasmusgymnasium seiner Geburtsstadt. Am 27. Dezember 1834 immatrikulierte er sich an der Universität Utrecht, wo er ein Studium der Theologie in Angriff nahm. Hier besuchte er anfänglich die Vorlesungen von Philipp Wilhelm van Heusde und Johannes Friedrich Ludwig Schröder. Seine theologischen Lehrer wurden Jodocus Heringa Eliza s zoon, Hermannus Bouman, Herman Johan Royaards und Henricus Egbertus Vinke. Im Oktober 1839 wurde er Pfarramtskandidat und erwarb sich am 23. Juni 1840 mit der theologischen Abhandlung de Jesu, e virgine Maria nato den theologischen Doktorgrad. Am 7. Februar 1841 wurde er Pfarrer in Eemnes-Binnendijks, wechselte in gleicher Eigenschaft 1843 nach Alkmaar und war im November 1844 Pfarrer in Rotterdam geworden. Ab 1845 begann mit seinem Studienfreund Jacobus Isaac Doedes die Herausgabe der Jaarboeken voor wetenschappelijke theologie, welche Arbeit er bis 1854 fortsetzte. Mit seinen konservativen theologischen Vorstellungen, war er ein Vertreter des orthodoxen niederländischen Supranaturalismus. So geriet er 1845/46 in eine Auseinandersetzung über eine apologetische Studie mit Cornelis Willem Opzoomer, 1850 mit Johannes Henricus Scholten über dessen Leer der Hervormde Kerk (deutsch: Lehre der reformierten Kirche) und Abraham Kuyper über dessen Theopneustie (Theopneustie. Brief aan een vriend over de Ingeving der Heilige Schriften. Utrecht 1882). Am 18. Oktober 1862 wurde er zum Professor der Theologie an die Utrechter Hochschule berufen, welches Amt er am 30. Januar 1863 mit der Rede de scepticismo, hodiernis theologis caute vitando übernahm. Er las über Dogmatik, biblische und praktische Theologie, nach dem 1. Oktober 1877 über die Einleitung in das Neue Testament, über Dogmengeschichte und die theologische Philosophie. In seiner Eigenschaft als Utrechter Hochschullehrer, beteiligte er sich auch an den organisatorischen Aufgaben der Hochschule und war 1868/69 Rektor der Alma Mater. Bei der Niederlegung des Amtes hielt er die Rede De Religione Christiana optima verae humanitatis magistra. Als Literat und Poet war er Mitglied der Gesellschaft für niederländische Literatur in Leiden. Auch war er ab 1861 Mitglied der Historisch theologischen Gesellschaft in Leipzig, Mitglied der niederländischen Gustav Adolf Vereinigung in Utrecht, Mitglied der provinziellen Utrechtschen Gesellschaft für Künste und Wissenschaften, Mitglied der Nord-Brabantschen Gesellschaft in s-Hertogenbosch, Mitglied der Königlich Batavischen Gesellschaft der Künste und Wissenschaften und anderer Gelehrtengesellschaften. Er war Ritter des Ordens vom niederländischen Löwen, 1860 Ritter des Nordstern-Ordens, 1869 Ritter des preußischen Kronenordens 3. Klasse und wurde 1869 Kommandeur des Ordens von der Eichenkrone. Während einer Kur in Bad Schwalbach erkrankte er und wurde in ein Krankenhaus nach Wiesbaden gebracht, wo er verstarb. Sein Leichnam wurde nach Utrecht überführt, wo er auf dem Friedhof Soestbergen beigesetzt wurde. " (Wikipedia) Sprache: Deutsch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.

Horizontal crease where once folded, verso is tanned, with thin line of tanning on recto, else a near fine copy. Leaflet promoting passage of the 1915 Pennsylvania resolution providing for a Constitutional Amendment to give women the vote, the text begins: "It is asserted that 'the average good American woman's indifference to woman suffrage' is an unanswerable argument against the movement.". Text closes: "Women Vote in Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, Utah, Washington, California, Oregon, Arizona, Kansas, Nevada, Montana and Alaska. Why Not in Pennsylvania? The Pennsylvania Legislature has passed a resolution providing for a Constitutional Amendment to give women votes. When approved by the next Legislature, this amendment will go to the voters in 1915.".

Farb. Illustr. Originalleinen. Zustand: Gut. 223 S.; Illustr.; 23 cm. Gutes Ex.; leichte Gebrauchsspuren. - Onkel Toms Hütte (engl. Uncle Tom s Cabin) ist ein 1852 veröffentlichter Roman von Harriet Beecher Stowe, der das Schicksal einer Reihe afroamerikanischer Sklaven und ihrer Eigentümer in den vierziger Jahren des 19. Jahrhunderts in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika schildert. . Die Titelfigur Onkel Tom ist ein Sklave in Kentucky. Sein Herr Mr. Shelby behandelt ihn gut. Tom ist als Verwalter der Farm tätig. Er ist bekennender Christ und leitet regelmäßig die Gottesdienste der Sklaven. Als Tom jedoch aus Geldmangel verkauft werden muss, wird er von seiner Frau und seinen Kindern getrennt. Sein neuer Eigentümer Herr St. Claire ist ein gutmütiger, nachsichtiger Lebemann. St. Claires Tochter Eva entwickelt eine innige Freundschaft zu Tom, stirbt aber an Schwindsucht. St. Claire hat sich unter dem Einfluss seiner Cousine Ophelia, die ihm den Haushalt führt, zu einem Gegner der Sklavenhalterei entwickelt und will Tom freilassen. Sein plötzlicher gewaltsamer Tod durch einen Messerstich verhindert dies, und seine Witwe Marie denkt nicht daran, auf den Verkaufserlös zu verzichten. So gelangt Tom an Mr. Legree, der mit äußerster Brutalität eine Baumwollplantage betreibt. Als einziger Weißer wohnt er in einem heruntergekommenen Herrschaftshaus. Seinen Sklaven ist jede Menschlichkeit abhandengekommen. Es gelingt Mr. Legree, alle gegeneinander auszuspielen. Bei Tom gelingt ihm das nicht. Tom soll zum Aufseher über die anderen Sklaven werden, weigert sich aber, jemanden zu schlagen. Stattdessen übt Tom durch seine praktizierte christliche Nächstenliebe einen positiven Einfluss auf alle aus, was Mr. Legree besonders zuwider ist. Er will Tom durch körperliche Züchtigung dazu zwingen, seinen christlichen Glauben aufzugeben. Doch Tom widersteht und verzeiht sterbend seinen Peinigern. Mr. Shelbys Sohn, George Shelby, versucht nach dem Tod seines Vaters vergeblich, das Tom gegebene Versprechen einzulösen, ihn zurückzukaufen, kann ihn aber nur begraben und versprechen, gut für seine Familie zu sorgen. Daraufhin lässt er seine Sklaven frei, um sie gegen Bezahlung in seinen Dienst zu nehmen. Parallel dazu wird die Geschichte der Sklavin Eliza, die aus demselben Haushalt wie Tom stammt, ihres Mannes George Harris und ihres Sohnes Harry erzählt, denen mit Hilfe von Quäkern die Flucht nach Kanada gelingt. Dort treffen sie auf Georges Schwester und Elizas Mutter, die beide ebenfalls auf unterschiedlichen Wegen der Sklaverei entronnen sind, und gehen zunächst nach Frankreich, wo George studiert. Danach wandert die ganze Familie nach Liberia aus, um beim Aufbau des afrikanischen Staates, der als Zufluchtsstätte für ehemalige Sklaven gegründet wurde, zu helfen. .
