195628090New York: Alfred A. Knopf. Very Good in Very Good dj. 1956. One Volume Edition Second Printing. Hardcover. price-clipped bumped at top rear corner otherwise a nice clean copy with just light shelfwear; the jacket is a bit age-toned along the edges with a few tiny nicks along the top and bottom edges one addtional nick at the right edge of the front panel and a 2.5-inch split at the bottom rear foldover. Epic novel set in the Catalonian city of Gerona during the period immediately preceding the Spanish Civil War. "This is the story of a Spanish family and of the people of Gerona caught up in an onrushing historical crisis. Representing in themselves the splitting forces that brought on the Civil War the family is torn and puzzled and even destroyed. But they never cease to assert heart-warmingly the human estate." Originally published in Spain as "Los cipreses creen en Dios" in 1953 and in the U.S. in a 2-volume edition in 1955 it was the first book in a tetralogy about the Spanish conflict. This is the second printing of the subsequent one-volume American edition. Per Wikipedia it was "written from a Roman Catholic viewpoint by its Catholic author who had been educated in a seminary -- but who attempted to approach the many nuances and subtleties among all the factions on the eve of war in a fair even-handed manner."

1715WRCAM39783London 1715. Small folio broadsheet. 1p. plus printed docket title on verso. Ornamental initial. Dbd. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Some foxing. Very good. A rare political leaflet petitioning Parliament for relief of warrant officers who had fought in the recent War of the Spanish Succession. In March 1715 the House of Commons ordered that a list of all the regimental and warrant officers be drawn up but by the time this document was printed numerous warrant officers had not been entered into the list and rumors had begun to circulate that they would therefore not be receiving expected compensation for their service. "Besides the Nature of several of the Warrant Officers Posts was such as they could not be put on a Regimental List viz. Directors of Hospitals Commissaries Officers who have lost their Limbs and many other Officers whose particular Hardships Pretensions and Disappointments are more at large set forth and specify'd in their several Warrants. So that their Condition is very deplorable." This is among the earliest examples of lobbying literature which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons at the time of the accession of King George I and the British general election of 1715.

A petition to Parliament by the officers of Lieut. Gen. George Hamilton's Regiment of Foot seeking pay due for services abroad in the War of Spanish Succession. Lord George Douglas-Hamilton 1666-1737 was a Scottish Williamite officer during the Glorious Revolution who later married William III's mistress Elizabeth Villiers became a confidant of William was created Earl of Orkney in 1696 was appointed Governor of Virginia in 1714 and in 1736 was the first British general promoted to the rank of Field Marshal. In 1701 at the beginning of the War of the Spanish Succession Hamilton led the First Regiment of Foot the Royal Scots to the Netherlands where the regiment fought for the remainder of the war. Despite their long service and the high position of Hamilton the officers suggest in the present petition that having been so long overseas they had been forgotten by the British government and charge that they had not received their pay even after frequent petitions. The document is an early example of lobbying literature which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons at the time of the accession of King George I and the British general election of 1715.
