Zustand: Very good. Very good. - A 4 inch high by 4 inch wide Christmas card with a sienna-toned illustration of Sheila Dorrell's "Harvest Mice", identified in red on the recto with a quote from Gilbert White. "Christmas Greetings and every good wish from" is printed in red on the facing page, signed in black ink by the British…Ambassador to Portugal Nigel Ronald. There are staple holes through the top edge. Very good. A wonderful association, signed by the British ambassador to Portugal, from the estate of the American ambassador to Portugal Lincoln MacVeagh. The British civil servant and diplomat Nigel Ronald (1894-1973) joined the civil service in 1920 after serving with the King's Regiment during the first World War and the Grenadier Guards. Rising through the civil service, he was appointed ambassador to Portugal in 1947. From the estate of Lincoln MacVeagh (1890-1972), a Renaissance man, who graduated from Harvard magna cum laude in 1913. He went on to study languages at the Sorbonne and became fluent in German, French, Spanish, Latin, Greek and Classical Greek. After World War I he became a director of the Henry Holt and Company publishing firm where he became friendly with the poet Robert Frost. In 1923 he left the firm and founded the Dial Press. His name appears on the imprint of many of their publications. In 1933 President Roosevelt appointed him Minister to Greece. He followed presentation of his credentials with a speech in Classical Greek. While in Greece he conducted excavations beneath the Acropolis and made archeological contributions to the National Museum in Athens. He left Greece in 1941 when the German army over ran the country. From there he was appointed the first US Minister to Iceland where he negotiated agreements for the construction of the Keflavik airfield. In late 1942 he became Minister to the Union of South Africa and coordinated American wartime agencies there. In 1943 he was sent to Cairo as Ambassador so that he could assist the governments in exile of Greece and Yugoslavia. He returned to Athens as Ambassador in 1944. MacVeagh gave secret testimony before Congress concerning the Balkans in 1947, testimony that was an important factor in the formation of the Truman Doctrine. In 1948 as Ambassador to Portugal MacVeagh was influential in admitting her into NATO. In 1952 President Truman named him Ambassador to Spain. President Truman wrote to him on March 9, 1948: "On the occasion of your appointment as Ambassador to Portugal, I would like to make some personal expression of appreciation for the high services you have already rendered your country. During the past fifteen critical years you have served with distinction as Chief of the United states Missions to Iceland, the Union of South Africa, Yugoslavia and Greece. In this last post especially - as Minister from 1933 to 1941 and as Ambassador since 1943 - your scholarly statesmanship and diplomatic judgment have been of the utmost value.".

Zustand: Very good. Athens, Greece: 1937., 1937. Very good. - Octavo, 10 inches high by 7-1/4 inches wide. Softcover, bound in cream printed wrappers. The covers are slightly soiled with some foxing and the edges are very slightly creased. 12 pages, including the wrappers, illustrated with 2 diagrams (maps) showing the location…of Amphipolis and 4 photographic illustrations. The corners of a few pages are bumped. Very good. RARE. WorldCat locates only 2 copies. The lecture is for the most part an account of the progress of the restoration of "The Lion of Amphipolis" to date. "While the collaboration of the French and American Schools was thus producing unexpected results, the Greek authorities were also helping, and besides giving the whole enterprise their blessing, kindly accorded the schools the collaboration of Mr. Panayiotakis of the National Museum. This able sculptor spent weeks at Amphipolis, again thanks to the Monks-Ulen Companies, which lent their camp and collected the necessary workmen and tools for his operations. With great effort and patience, far from the conveniences of the city, Mr. Panayiotakis successfully carried through the task of making moulds, some of them of truly gigantic size, of all the existing fragments of the Lion. From these he made casts on the spot, and again with the help of the engineers, fitted these together under an enormous shed, and provided in plaster the missing pieces to complete the whole figure. This year it is planned to put the actual fragments themselves together and make the missing parts out of marble cement of a color agreeable to the rest." Lincoln MacVeagh (1890-1972), a Renaissance man, graduated from Harvard magna cum laude in 1913. He went on to study languages at the Sorbonne and became fluent in German, French, Spanish, Latin, Greek and Classical Greek. He served in the Atois, St. Mihiel and Meuse Argonne campaigns of World War I as an aide to the commanding general of the 80th Division and of the Ninth and Sixth Army Corps. He rose to the rank of Major. After the war he became a director of the Henry Holt and Company publishing firm where he became friendly with the poet Robert Frost. In 1923 he left the firm and founded the Dial Press. His name appears on the imprint of many of their publications. In 1933 President Roosevelt appointed him Minister to Greece.

In 1943 he was sent to Cairo as Ambassador so that he could assist the governments in exile of Greece and Yugoslavia. He returned to Athens as Ambassador in 1944. MacVeagh gave secret testimony before Congress concerning the Balkans in 1947, testimony that was an important factor in the formation of the Truman Doctrine. In 1948 as Ambassador to Portugal MacVeagh was influential in admitting her into NATO. In 1952 President Truman named him Ambassador to Spain. President Truman wrote to him on March 9, 1948: "On the occasion of your appointment as Ambassador to Portugal, I would like to make some personal expression of appreciation for the high services you have already rendered your country. During the past fifteen critical years you have served with distinction as Chief of the United states Missions to Iceland, the Union of South Africa, Yugoslavia and Greece. In this last post especially - as Minister from 1933 to 1941 and as Ambassador since 1943 - your scholarly statesmanship and diplomatic judgment have been of the utmost value.".

The attack never progressed beyond the line Ft Douaumont (not the village) - Cote du Poivre, which is the most thoroughly destroyed bit of landscape I have seen in France." Lincoln MacVeagh dates his reading and annotations at the end of the text on page 350. ".

There is some minor foxing to the endpapers and pastedowns and the edges of the pastedowns are soiled. Near fine. The RARE FIRST EDITION, from the library of the book's Dedicatee "The Honorable Lincoln MacVeagh".The prospectus "The Lion of Amphipolis - A Plea for its Reconstruction" by Lincoln MacVeagh is a 10 by 7-1/2 inch 4-page pamphlet with a 1934 photograph of the fragments of the lion laid in. It was published in Athens in 1934. ".recently, during the progress of the great work in connection with the drainage of the Serres Plain and the deepening of the Amphipolis Gorge, the engineers of the Monks-Ulen Company of New York became impressed with the majesty and immensity of the all-but-buried and half-forgotten fragments of the Lion of Amphipolis. Enthusiastically, they brought the idea of its reconstruction to me. I visited the site; and the plan herein set forth, in which it is my hope that a sufficient number of lovers of Greece and of Greek Art will join, was born."The lecture by MacVeagh, "The Lion of Amphipolis", was delivered to The French School of Archaeology at Athens in 1937. It is a 10 by 7-1/4 inch 12-page pamphlet illustrated with 4 photographs and 2 maps showing the location of Amphipolis. The lecture is for the most part an account of the restoration work to date. "While the collaboration of the French and American Schools was thus producing unexpected results, the Greek authorities were also helping, and besides giving the whole enterprise their blessing, kindly accorded the schools the collaboration of Mr. Panayiotakis of the National Museum. This able sculptor spent weeks at Amphipolis, again thanks to the Monks-Ulen Companies, which lent their camp and collected the necessary workmen and tools for his operations. With great effort and patience, far from the conveniences of the city, Mr. Panayiotakis successfully carried through the task of making moulds, some of them of truly gigantic size, of all the existing fragments of the Lion. From these he made casts on the spot, and again with the help of the engineers, fitted these together under an enormous shed, and provided in plaster the missing pieces to complete the whole figure. This year it is planned to put the actual fragments themselves together and make the missing parts out of marble cement of a color agreeable to the rest."From the library of Lincoln MacVeagh and his wife Margaret with their "Arcades Ambo" bookplate on the front paste down.

One photo pictures the procession to the Pardo Palace of MacVeagh in a gilded coach drawn by six horses followed by 50 soldiers of Franco's personal Moorish guard. It was the same coach in which Washington Irving went to present his credentials to the regent during the Carlist wars in 1842. The second photo pictures a handshake between MacVeagh and Franco, MacVeagh having presented his credentials to the Generalissimo. Foreign Minister Alberto Martin-Artajo stands in the background. The photographer's credits are stamped in purple on the verso. Likely once mounted into an album, there are black paper remnants adhering to the verso of each photo.

General Pershing writes to Lincoln MacVeagh, founder and president of The Dial Press, thanking him for sending "a copy of Mr. Mottram's work, 'The Spanish Farm Trilogy'. I appreciate v…ery much your kind thought of me". The letter is signed in full "John J. Pershing". The World War I novel which Pershing mentions centers on a Flemish farm woman around whom the author relates his war experiences. MacVeagh published the work at his Dial Press in 1927, the year of this letter. Folded for mailing with some light creases to the edges and inner corners. Very good. A wonderful association as "With the American Expeditionary Force in World War 1, Mr. MacVeagh served in the Artois, St. Mihiel and Meuse Argonne campaigns as an aide to the commanding general of the 80th Division and of the Ninth and Sixth Army Corps. He rose to major and was cited by General of the Armies John J. Pershing in 1919 for "exceptionally meritorious services". - [Quoted from the New York Times, January 17, 1972 issue].John Joseph Pershing (1860-1948), nicknamed "Black Jack", was a senior United States Army officer. He served most famously as the commander of the American Expeditionary Forces during World War I from 1917 to 1920.

Zustand: Very good. - What is being offered here are the final hand-written manuscript together with a typed copy of a translation into English of the first 6 Satires of Juvenal. The manuscript is on 10-1/8 inch high by 8 inch wide lined sheets; the typed sheets are on 11 inch high by 8-1/2 inch wide sheets. The translation is r…ealized in 4-line stanzas (quatrains) of poetry in the ABCB rhyme scheme. The contents of both the hand-written manuscript and the typed copy are as follows: Book 1: Satire One, 31 pages with 12 lines per page; Satire Two, 30 pages with 12 lines per page except for the last page; Satire Three, 56 pages with 12 lines per page except for the last page; Satire Four, 28 pages with 12 lines per page except for the last page; Satire Five, 31 pages with 12 lines per page. Book 2: Satire Six, 123 pages with 12 lines per page except for the last page.The famous Satire Six begins: "I'll not deny that Chastity/for many years remained/And was long seen upon the earth/in days when Saturn reigned. But that was when some chilly cave/provided hearth and home/For men and herds and household gods/beneath one gloomy dome. The mountain-wife, who made her bed/of forest leaves and grasses/and skins of local animals,/could not compare with lasses/Like Cynthia, or Lesbia/whose grief-bereddened eyes/Lost all their native sparkle through/a sparrow's sad demise,/But suckling mighty babes on milk/that she could well afford,/Was often more unsightly than/her acorn-belching lord. For earth and sky were new, and life/was different to folk/Who fatherless, were formed from clay/or sprang from riven oak."The sheets are housed in two cardboard cases with the title "JUVENAL" and MacVeagh's initials "L.Mac.V." written on the spines. The boxes in which the manuscript and typescript are housed are broken.The title page of the typed copy of "Satire 6" has a tear. Unique. Robert Frost wrote to his friend Lincoln MacVeagh from Amherst on December 11, 1933: "I have been over your Juvenal again by myself. I have consulted no one at all about it; and the conclusion I have arrived at is entirely my own. The translation and the versification are a good job. But they only confirm me in the indifference not to say dislike I have always felt for the subject matter of the original. I believe it gains in harshness said right out in English. You know me: I can stand sorrow better than evil."Lincoln MacVeagh (1890-1972), a Renaissance man, graduated from Harvard magna cum laude in 1913.
