Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - All Roads Lead to Rome explores the deep-rooted history of white supremacy and human enslavement, tracing its foundations back to ancient empires. In this comprehensive analysis, Michael J. Henderson delves into the evolution of racial capitalism, the enduring legacy of Roman imperialism, and how these systems of control persist in modern society.Henderson uncovers the ideological roots of racial hierarchies, revealing how empires, particularly Rome, shaped the structures of domination that continue to affect global systems today. Through the study of ancient civilizations, European colonization, and American expansion, the book examines the continuous thread of exploitation, dispossession, and legal manipulation that created and maintained systems of racial inequality.By examining the legal, economic, and social frameworks of empire from ancient Egypt's intellectual dominance to modern America's complex racial structures, All Roads Lead to Rome challenges readers to confront the uncomfortable truths about the origins and persistence of global inequality. It provides a compelling narrative that shows how history, memory, and power intersect to shape the modern world.…

Two works in one volume, 4to, pp. [iv], 28; [iv], 23; engraved vignettes to both titles and tailpieces at end; rebound in modern half morocco over marbled boards. First editions, including the Elegies, Scott's first publication. John Scott (1730-83) came from a poor Quaker family who moved to Amwell, Herts, when he was ten years old. He had little formal education, but became interested in poetry as a teenager and his published poetry, which began to appear in the Gentleman's Magazine in the 1750s, attracted the attention of Elizabeth Carter and Catherine Talbot and, somewhat later, of Samuel Johnson, who visited him at Amwell in 1773. Boswell also records a dinner in April 1775 at which both were present; but Johnson did not think very much of his Elegies, commenting: 'They are very well; but such as twenty people might write' (Hill Powell ii 351). Scott's fame, and his modern suffix, as 'Scott of Amwell', stems from his famous topographical poem about his home town. Provenance. Although in a modern binding, both pieces have clearly been together since an early date, because each has a contemporary inscription 'Bab: Arthington' on the half title. Modern bookplate of John Harris.…

Charles Churchill was born the son of a rector, educated at Westminster School, before himself becoming a Curate. Churchill had already done some work for the booksellers, and his friend Lloyd had had some success with a didactic poem, The Actor. Churchill's knowledge of the theatre was now made use of in the Rosciad, which appeared in March 1761. This reckless and amusing satire described with the most disconcerting accuracy the faults of the various actors and actresses on the London stage; in a competition judged by Shakespeare and Jonson, Garrick is named the greatest English actor. Its immediate popularity was no doubt largely due to its personal character, but its vigour and raciness make it worth reading even now when the objects of Churchill's wit are forgotten. His Epistle to William Hogarth (1763) was in answer to the caricature of Wilkes made during the trial, in it Hogarth's vanity and envy were attacked in an invective which Garrick quoted as shocking and barbarous. Hogarth retaliated with an engraving based on The Painter and his Pug, which caricatures Churchill as a bear in torn clerical bands hugging a pot of porter and a club made of lies and North Britons, while Hogarth's pug Trump urinates on Churchill's Epistle. The Duellist (1763) is a virulent satire on the most active opponents of Wilkes in the House of Lords, especially on Bishop Warburton. He attacked Dr Johnson among others in The Ghost as "Pomposo, insolent and loud, Vain idol of a scribbling crowd". Other poems are The Conference (1763); The Author (1763), highly praised by Churchill's contemporaries; Gotham (1764), a poem on the duties of a king, didactic rather than satiric in tone; The Candidate (1764), a satire on John Montagu, fourth earl of Sandwich, one of Wilkes's bitterest enemies, whom he had already denounced for his treachery in The Duellist (Bk. iii.) as too infamous to have a friend; The Farewell (1764); The Times (1764); Independence, and an unfinished Journey.

Exceptionally rare first edition of the seventh annual report of the African Institution, the influential London society formed in 1807 to suppress the slave trade and promote the improvement of Africa in the wake of British abolition. Octavo, bound in contemporary full calf with gilt tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised bands, morocco spine label lettered in gilt, marbled endpapers. Read at the annual general meeting of the 24th of March, 1813, the report surveys the continuing traffic in enslaved people carried on by other nations, the efforts of the Royal Navy to suppress it, and the affairs of the colony of Sierra Leone, together with an appendix and a list of subscribers. Contemporary bookplate of James Elliott. Some toning and scattered foxing. A handsome copy of an important abolitionist document, with only one example appearing at auction in the last 100 years. The African Institution was founded in London in 1807, immediately after the abolition of the British slave trade, by many of the same reformers who had achieved abolition, among them William Wilberforce, Thomas Clarkson, Henry Brougham, and Zachary Macaulay, with the Duke of Gloucester as its president. Its purpose was to monitor and enforce the abolition of the slave trade, to press other nations to abandon their own participation in it, and to encourage legitimate commerce, education, and agriculture in Africa, particularly in the British settlement of Sierra Leone. The Institution?s annual reports are a principal source for the history of the campaign against the slave trade in the years after 1807, documenting the persistence of the illegal traffic and the efforts of the British government and navy to suppress it.…

4to. 26cm, xvi,448,2p. (Errata and original blank), & 48pp., bound together in recent half-calf, gilt and blind ruled raised bands, gilt tile on leather label, marbled boards, new endpapers, old marble fore edges, some erudite annotations and corrections in a neat, contemporary hand in both works, with a lengthy comment on verso of final blank of the first work, very good to fine (hoL). ~ Both books in the ESTC; the second appears to be scarce, with only six copies cited; Harvard cites the first work but not the second. ~ Lardner (1684-1768) was a biblical and patristic scholar. In 1727, he published the first two volumes of his Credibility of the Gospel History, which at once placed him first among Christian apologists. He continued to publish a vast amount, usually with the intent to instruct and benefit the unlearned. He may also be considered as the founder of the modern school of critical research in the field of early Christian literature, of which these two works may serve as examples. …
