"The Review holds that the principal hope for humanity is in the progress in knowledge intelligence and character of the less capable portion of mankind; that only through such progress can real advance be made in their fortunes; and that at present the main obstacle to such progress is in the fallacies and false hopes preached by demagogues to attract the crowd." Stated aims of disarming Germany and after that everyone else except for an international police force; securing self-determination for nationalities; making trade free; cleaning up and bracing up literature and art; securing the rights of free labor including both recognition of trade unions and of the Open Shop; modernizing and revivifying religion.

1800E0068viii514 pages with frontispiece map. Quarto 10 1/2" x 8 3/4" housed in a custom slipcase. Translated by Maurice Keatinge. First English edition.<br /><br /> Bernal Dïaz del Castillo was a conquistador who wrote an eyewitness account of the conquest of Mexico by the Spaniards under Hernan Cortes himself serving as a rodelero under Cortes. Born in Medina del Campo Spain he came from a family of little wealth and he himself had received only a minimal education. He sailed to Cuba in 1514 to make his fortune but after two years found few opportunities there. Much of the native population of the island had already been killed by epidemics and forced labor and in 1517 an expedition was sent to the smaller Caribbean islands to find alternative sources of labor. Dïaz joined this group under the command of Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba. It was a difficult venture and although they discovered the Yucatan coast by the time the expedition returned to Cuba they were in disastrous shape. Nevertheless Dïaz returned to the coast of Yucatan the following year on an expedition led by Juan de Grijalva with the intent of exploring the newly discovered lands. Upon returning to Cuba he enlisted in a new expedition this one led by Hernan Cortes. In this third effort Dïaz took part in one of the legendary military campaigns of history bringing an end to the Aztec empire in Mesoamerica. During this campaign Dïaz spoke frequently with his companions in arms about their experiences collecting them into a coherent narration. The book that resulted from this was Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva Espana English: The True History of the Conquest of New Spain. In it he describes many of the 119 battles in which he claims to have participated culminating in the fall of the Aztec Empire in 1521.As a reward for his service Dïaz was appointed governor of Santiago de los Caballeros present-day Antigua Guatemala. He began writing his history in 1568 almost fifty years after the events described in response to an alternative history written by Cortes's chaplain who had not actually participated in the campaign. He called his book the Verdadera Historia True History in response to the claims made in the earlier work. Dïaz died in 1585 without seeing his book published. A manuscript was found in a Madrid library in 1632 and finally published providing an eye-witness account of the events often told from the perspective of a common soldier. Today it is one of the most important sources in understanding the campaign that led to the collapse of the Aztec Empire and the Spanish conquest of Mexico.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b>Spine renewed with new period spine label and original boards which the corners and edges are heavily rubbed some foxing to early pages.

Lucius Apuleius was born about the year A.D. 114 at Madaura a city on the borders of Numidia and Gaetulia.

The story of "The Metamorphoses" tells how a young man is turned by magic into an ass. With the loss of his human form he loses his power of speech but retains his human intelligence. In the course of his adventures he falls into the hands of a band of robbers who also capture a beautiful maiden. When setting out to see further booty the robbers leave the maiden and the ass in the charge of a half-tipsy old woman. This old hag in order to divert the maiden's thoughts from the evils of her situation tells her the following story. 83pp. David Nutt unknown
