Codex diplomaticus aevi Saxonici

183921386Londini: sumptibus Societatis i.e. English Historical Society 1839. First edition large paper copy printed for one of the Society's members John Mee Mathew Esq. with his name printed in red on the verso of the half-title; 6 volumes royal 8vo contemporary half green morocco gilt paneled spines t.e.g. with the gilt stamp on the upper covers of the Birmingham Law Society and their gilt supralibros on the back covers rubberstamps on the title pages and occasionally in the text; upper joint of volume I tender several others rubbed; all in all a good sound set. "After his marriage in 1836 Kemble appears to have resided in London for some time employing himself in literary work and specially in transcribing in the British Museum and in various collegiate and cathedral libraries the Anglo-Saxon charters afterwards printed in his Codex Diplomaticus.In his knowledge of Teutonic philology he was far ahead of any of his fellow-countrymen and was the recognised exponent of the investigations of Jacob Grimm and other German writers on the subject. With regard to the study of Anglo-Saxon Kemble had a more scientific as well as a more accurate knowledge of the language than any earlier scholar and a deeper insight into its relations to other branches of Teutonic speech. He used his knowledge chiefly in illustrating Anglo-Saxon literature and history writing in all his original work as a man of letters no less than as a scholar. In commenting on an early fable he notes its significance traces its development and examines the forms under which it appears at different times and in various countries. The publication of his collection of documents belonging to the Anglo-Saxon period may be said to have laid the foundation of our present knowledge of the institutions and customs of the English before the Norman conquest.His Codex Diplomaticus must remain the great original of all such undertakings and the pattern to be followed by all future editors of charters. Besides the exact knowledge of Anglo-Saxon and the skill in deciphering manuscripts displayed by this book it presents though so unobtrusively as to be almost likely to escape notice proofs of an amazing amount of knowledge and critical acumen. Every charter which offers ground for suspicion is marked with an asterisk. Kemble's work was always done with minute care and a charter that he has not marked as spurious may as a rule safely be accepted as genuine. Founded on the Codex Kemble's Saxons in England was until the appearance of Bishop Stubbs's Constitutional History in 1873 the best English treatise on the polity of our ancestors before the coming of the Normans" DNB. sumptibus Societatis [i.e. English Historical Society] unknown

Three Expeditions into the interior of Eastern Australia

1838173536London: T. & W. Boone 1838. The deep tracks of his boat carriage quickly became their ribbon to follow to the south-west First edition of this illustrated account by the explorer who opened up the lush pastures of western Victoria to colonial settlement. His three daring expeditions added extensively to knowledge of Australia's inland waterways. This copy is from the collection of Jonathan Wantrup a leading bibliographer of Australiana with his book label on the front pastedowns. Appointed deputy surveyor-general of New South Wales in 1827 Mitchell 1792-1855 arrived in Sydney in September and began a six-year effort to produce a topographical map of the colony. His "Map of the Colony of New South Wales 1834 otherwise known as the 'map of the nineteen counties' has scarcely been equalled anywhere. It was perhaps Mitchell's greatest achievement. He determined too to extend his surveys outside the nineteen counties and though there are other reasons for his exploratory expeditions this was a major factor" ODNB. Mitchell's first expedition begun in late 1831 while his map was still in progress "explored between the Nammoi and the Gwydir and crossed the latter to strike the Barwon but there was no north-west river; all streams were clearly tributaries of the Darling. The murder by Aborigines of two of his party as they were bringing up provisions made a return to the settled colony imperative" ODNB and his party reached Sydney in February 1832. His second expedition undertaken three years later charted the course of the Darling to the point where it turned south establishing the likely region where it met the Murray. "Mitchell's third and most significant journey was undertaken ostensibly to connect the Murray with the Darling but also to explore the Murray and perhaps the country south of it. The expedition left Sydney in March 1836 and moved down the Lachlan. It was impossible to cross to the Darling so Mitchell proceeded to the Murrumbidgee and into the Murray following it down to what was thought to be the Darling junction. He traced the Darling upstream only sufficiently far to satisfy himself that it was in fact that river. Some 30 miles below the Goulburn river junction he turned off south-west. The region he then opened up he named Australia Felix now the western district of Victoria which certainly forms one of the richest tracts in Australia. At the Murray he found the country on the eve of being taken up by graziers and the deep tracks of his boat carriage quickly became their ribbon to follow to the south-west. This journey which lasted over seven months thus added greatly to the knowledge of a very fertile region of Australia" ODNB.

An Archive of Material Belonging to Activist Nina Cornelia Mitchell and Related to Social Reformer and Journalist Paul Underwood Kellogg and Emperor Nicholas II Romanov's Family

1939002577Various: By the authors 1939. First Edition. Very good. Comprised of three letters and a manuscript memoir the archive covered three continents and intertwined the lives of royals reformers and exiles. Nina Cornelia Mitchell 1854 - 1958 was an activist and an ardent relief worker in Europe during and after the First World War. She was also the first cousin of author and artist Miss Violet nee Serena Catherine Dandridge with whom she lived in the historic "Rosebrake" mansion in Shepherdstown West Virginia after her return to the United States. Paul Underwood Kellogg 1879 - 1958 was a social reformer journalist and co-founder of the American Civil Liberties Union. He was the editor of "Survey" magazine which he had managed to turn into the country's leading social work journal in a very short period of time. Mitchell had been visiting her friends - Prince Aleksandr Eristov Georgian Lieutenant-Genaral and his wife who were living in exile in Paris when she met Count Piotr Vassilievich Hendrikov former Governor of the Orel Province and brother of Countess Anastasiia Hendrikova Lady of Honor to Empress Aleksandra Feodorovna. He gave Nina a memoir written first in Russian and then in French to translate and write into English. Through his sister's stories and his personal visits to the Romanov family Hendrikov was intimately familiar with the sovereigns' lives and suffered through their assasinations which included his sister's. The memoir emotional and painful to read revealed some lesser known facts about Nicholas' family. Hendrikov stated that although Aleksandra was thought to be cold and aloof she was in reality just profoundly shy. He also gave examples of the Emperor's love and compassion for his people including an instance when having been presented with new war equipment for the infantry he feared it would be too heavy for his soldiers so he strapped it on and walked 15 kilometers to test it. The narrative followed the family's daily life before and after their arrests their work their devotion to each other the births of the children and their coping with son Aleksei Nikolaevich' terrible disease. Later on Hendrikov described Nicholas' abdication the reaction of the people the exile and the terrible treatment the family received from their guards his meetings with representatives of Duma and finally their murders together with those of the closest to them people court and servants who had followed them through the last year of their lives. In her first letter to Kellogg Mitchell gave the prehistory of the memoir asked him to read it and possibly assist with finding a publisher for it mentioned her better understanding of the situation in Russia and inquired about getting a subscription to the "Survey" for her friend Helen Pendleton. In his response Kellogg promised to read the papers told Mitchell he would love to hear about her work in Europe and confirmed Helen Pendleton's subscription to his magazine. In Nina's second and last letter she stated she would await the editor's criticism of the memoir talked about her friends the Eristovs and invited the Kelloggs to visit her in the "City of the Shepherds in the Valley of the Daugther of the Stars."- Two ALS signed by Nina Cornelia Mitchell dated July 18 1939 and August 14 1939; 6 1/2 x 5 and 7 x 5 1/2; pp. 12 and 4 respectively; off-white textured stock black ink and red pencil; light age-toning; two rust spots from removed paper clips; very good condition.- Typed letter by Paul Kellogg dated July 19 1939; 11 x 8 1/2; single sheet text to recto only; small handwritten note in pencil; a few nicks and chips to edges; good condition.- Manuscript memoir in two parts; 11 1/2 x 8 1/2 and 9 3/4 x 8 1/4; loose sheets pp. 13 and 16 respectively; text to recto only; the first part a bit fragile with several small nicks to corners; overall in very good condition.
