Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Trade PB. 8vo. Published by Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers, Wauconda, IL. 2005. 56 pgs. Illustrated. Wrappers lightly worn with some light shelf-wear to the extremities present. Book is free of ownership marks. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. Five selections in Latin from Peter Martyr of Angleria's De Orbe Novo are presented with vocabulary help on the facing page. After each Latin selection, background notes including information from other primary sources (Columbus' own 1493 letter, the abstraction of Columbus' journal by Fray Bartolomé de las Casas, and Oviedo's Natural History of the West Indies) are included along with the pertinent Latin selection from Peter Martyr. When Peter Martyr was writing in the fifteenth century, it was agreed upon by scholars and men of literature at the time that the proper Latin to use was that of Marcus Tullius Cicero. Hence Martyr's Latinity is quite classical and, in fact, the simplicity of his literary style resembles that of Julius Caesar. ; Latin Edition; 6 X 0.13 X 9 inches; 56 pages.

3pp, 4to. Bifolium. Signature ('Edward') in the prince's hand, the rest of the letter by a secretary. In good condition, lightly aged, with slight damage to one corner of first leaf, and thin strip of paper from mount adhering to reverse of second leaf, which is franked 'Kent & Strathearn', with postmark, and addressed to 'Francis Freeling Esquire | &c &c &c | Genl. Post Office | Lombard Street | London'. Folded four times. The letter begins: 'Dear Sir | It being of some consequence that the enclosed should reach Germany in safety, as it contains the notification of a young M an's appointment to a Commission in the British Service, whose unfortunate parents are very little able to maintain him, I shall esteem it a very particular favor if through your good offices, and the medium of our Agent at Toninghen this can be accomplished'. He knows Freeling will do his 'best endeavours to effect the thing if it is possible', and adds, 'that the letter is written as ever if opened not to be of any consequence, and therefore if sent by a private hand not liable to expose the Bearer to anything unpleasant in consequence'. From the distinguished autograph collection of the psychiatrist Richard Alfred Hunter (1923-1981), whose collection of 7000 works relating to psychiatry is now in Cambridge University Library. Hunter and his mother Ida Macalpine had a particular interest in the illness of King George III, and their book 'George III and the Mad Business' (1969) suggested the diagnosis of porphyria popularised by Alan Bennett in his play 'The Madness of George III'.

manuscript titles ('The Abdication of Edward VIII'; 'The Coronation of King George VI.'; 'The War') and manuscript commentary, mostly captions but with some longer passages, all in the hand of Antoinette Brett (née Heckscher), Viscountess Esher (see below), a few later clippings, including relating to VE Day, pp. [80], large folio, quarter white cloth with patterned cloth sides, printed label (blank) to upper board, some minor soiling but in very good condition. An absorbing documentary of turbulent times, the fact of it being largely formed of newspaper clippings available to any belying a significant detail of its provenance: the album was formed by Antoinette Brett, née Heckscher, daughter of the German-born American capitalist August Heckscher and the wife of Oliver Brett, the 3rd Viscount Esher. Not only does her background suggest a possible additional aspect of interest to the Anglo-American union a much less happy version of her own but there is a tangible proximity to events that is represented both in her commentary, which supplements the printed gossip with that of her own circle ('Lord Wigram told O. [i.e., Oliver, her husband]', etc.), and in the presence of such ephemera as the notice to Peers of the forthcoming 'Coronation of His Majesty King Edward VIII' (with her caption: 'The Coronation that never took place'), and both the invitation (addressed to 'Right Trusty and Wellbeloved Cousin' and signed 'Norfolk' on the King's behalf) and the ticket of admission for the Viscount and his wife to attend the eventual 'Coronation of Their Majesties King George VI and Queen Elizabeth' at Westminster Abbey this last faced with the photographic portrait of the Eshers in their robes. Even were it simply the work of an outsider, this would be a wonderful feat of compilation, richly illustrated and with a broad survey opinion including her own but the inside perspective that enters at relevant junctures elevates it beyond everyday examples. Oliver Brett's father, Lord Esher, had been a confidant and adviser to Edward VII and retained his proximity to the royal family during the reign of George V. The fact of Churchill being referred to as 'Winston' in her captions both in the Abdication section ('Winston, fishing in troubled waters') and during the War ('Some of Winston's perorations') is more likely a token of true familiarity rather than false (see, 'Boris'). The quality of the work continues into the section on the War, where her interest in poetry is manifest in the various examples gathered to accompany the accounts of reporters; she notes the entry 'at last' of America into the War and includes a typed copy of an extract from the Duke of Norfolk's account of the Sinking of the Bismarck.

The original gelatin silver photographs are uniformly mounted on 'Rose's Stereoscopic Views' cards (with the pair of images printed as one plate, approximately 94 × 148 mm; card size 100 × 178 mm), with printed captions within each image. All captions commence with the words 'Coronation of King Edward VII'. #4180 has some surface damage to both the card and the photograph; #4424 has a tiny hole in one half of the photograph; six items have inoffensive minor stains or blemishes to the photograph (#4227, #4379, #4420, #4495, #4498, and #4569); and #4395 has a small stain to the card; all other photographs and cards are in excellent condition. After Queen Victoria's death in 1901, her eldest son Edward, the Prince of Wales, 'succeeded to the throne as Edward VII, with the Coronation taking place 9th August 1902. It was originally scheduled for 26th June but a few days before this date, the king came down with an acute attack of appendicitis requiring an operation. George Rose went to London for the Coronation travelling there . via Colombo (Ceylon) and Port Said (Egypt) where he took a number of photographs. Because of the late postponement, George found himself ahead of the new Coronation date. He put his time to good use as he not only witnessed and photographed the brilliant Military Review that took place at Aldershot on the 16th June, but he travelled to Ireland, Germany and Switzerland taking many stereo views on his travels' (Ron Blum: 'George Rose, Australia's Master Stereographer', 2022, fourth edition). There are 225 items listed in this section of his book, ranging from #4151 to #4622 (with #4962 to #4976 in a later section), but probably only half that number relate specifically to the Coronation. This group comprises 60 of them, ranging from #4151 to #4974; full details of the specific reference numbers are available on request. [60 items].
