A Confederate Memoirs of Joseph Johnston & Jefferson Davis Civil War CSA Two works on important American military and political figures Joseph Johnston and Jefferson Davis Joseph E. Johnston was a 19th-century American Army officer who served as a Confederate States Army general even though he trained at West Point. However his military acumen was wrecked and constantly criticized by Confederate President Jefferson Davis with whom Johnston was very displeased. Following his service time as a military officer Johnston wrote and published his own memoirs memoirs which were mostly attacks on President Davis and other officers as well as defending his own actions and decisions during the Civil War. In Tall Cotton says of this work: A vigorous defense of his own actions and necessarily therefore a hard-hitting attack on others particularly on President Davis against whom he records his objections to excess. According to Nevins this work is one of the earliest Confederate reminiscences; strongly partisan anti-Davis and defensive in tone. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall . R. H. Woodward & Company hardcover

June. 1894' and 'John Sparrow Apr 1949' to verso of front free endpaper and Sparrow's bookplate by Reynold Stone to front pastedown see below.First edition of Bradley's most ambitious work and the central philosophical text of British idealism with a distinguished provenance.Francis Herbert Bradley 1846-1924 was arguably the most renowned and original figure among the British Idealists. In the preface to Appearance and Reality he describes the work as a 'critical discussion of first principles' intended to provoke inquiry and doubt. While his followers had expected a defence of religious truths Bradley instead contended that although reality is spiritual a full demonstration of this concept is beyond human comprehension due to the abstract nature of thought. 'Instead of ideas which could not properly contain reality he recommended feeling the immediacy of which could embrace the harmonious nature of reality' Britannica.T.S. Eliot whose unpresented doctoral thesis at Harvard was concerned with Bradley it was eventually published in 1964 as Knowledge and Experience in the Philosophy of F.H. Bradley cites the philosopher in the notes to The Waste Land.Provenance: This copy belonged to Spenser Farquharson likely Arthur Spencer Loat Farquharson 1871-1942 the British classicist translator and Dean of University College Oxford. By around 1949 the volumes had passed into the library of John Sparrow 1906-1992 the British academic barrister book collector and Warden of All Souls College Oxford. hardcover
