181745585New York: by D. Longworth at the Dramatic Repository Shakspeare-Gallery 1817. Third edition. 12mo 15cm; modern decorative wrappers; 44pp. Complete and good with minimal aging to text. According to a note by Goodspeed this third edition posthumous was the first to include Samuel Woodworth's "Ode for the Fourth March 1817" on pp.43-44. Burk a transplanted Irishman premiered this work at Boston's Haymarket Theatre in 1798. Though undistinguished as literature the play captured the anti-British zeitgeist and Burk's reputation and fortune were secured by it. Reputation alas failed to save Burk from dying badly: in 1808 while drinking in a Virginia tavern Burk made injudicious remarks at table regarding the character of the French; a nearby citizen of France overhearing challenged Burk to a duel in which the playwright perished the next morning. A brief but diverting account of Burk's career prior to emigration is provided by Wegelin Early American Plays 1904 in his citation for this work. HILL American Plays 35. WEGELIN p.24. by D. Longworth, at the Dramatic Repository, Shakspeare-Gallery unknown books

Giacomo Lauro was a printmaker active in the map and view industry of mid-sixteenth to mid-seventeenth century Rome. The Temple was built in 500BC on the site of an even older shrine dedicated to Saturn. It was reconstructed in 42BC by Lucius Munatius Plancus a Roman Consul who was an officer in Julius Caesars army during the conquest of Gaul. He installed the Treasury of the Roman Republic here where it remained until 28BC. It was destroyed by fire in 283AD but later rebuilt. All that remains today are eight columns and a part of the pediment which bears a Latin inscription. In English it reads: The Senate and the people of Rome restored what fire consumed. Saturn who was the Roman equivalent of the Greek god Kronos was the god of agriculture and the harvest or of life and death. Like Kronos he was represented as a hooded figure bearing a scythe. Because he was afraid of being overthrown he ate his all his children apart from Jupiter Neptune and Pluto whom for some reason he could not swallow. In time his fears became reality; he was overthrown by Jupiter who became the king of the Roman gods. unknown books
