SHAKESPEARE'S HOME AND RURAL LIFE

1874012516London: Longmans Green Reader and Dyer 1874. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Poor. COPY OWNED BY REV. HENRY WARD BEECHER WITH ALS FROM AUTHOR PRESENTING THE BOOK. First edition large 4to purple cloth elaborately decorated in gilt aeg with numerous full page "illustrations of localities and scenes around Stratford Upon-Avon by the helioytype process". Disbound copy covers worn spine browned. With references in the text to Rev. Beecher's visit with his wife to Stratford on Avon in 1850 with a treatment of his observations thereof. Rev. Beecher's bookplate with his address of 82 Columbia St on the pastedown. The author James Walter a Liverpool shipowner is declared on the title page as Major of the Fourth Lancashire Artillery Volunteers an organization that he founded. The Volunteer Movement in England took hold after an invasion scare in 1859. The volunteer units were composed of part-time soldiers eager to supplement the regular British Army. The Lancashire Artillery that Walter founded was one of the first and the largest in the Volunteer Movement. Walter's ALS dated Chicago February 4 1883 is on letterhead of the Grand Pacific Hotel where both Walter and the famous Rev. Beecher 1813 - 1887 Congregational clergyman orator abolitionist and social reformer were hotel guests. The letter transcribed see below xxxx indicating unreadable reveals what an operator Walter was. Using both flattery of Beecher and feigned self-deprecation he tries to ingratiate himself to Beecher's favor apparently with the purpose of selling Beecher some portraits of George Washington by Shapler that were "owned by his family". He obsequiously points to the section of the book a rather pretentious grand state-of-the-art production for the time which describes Beecher's visit to Stratford on Avon "look to page 77 for your own beautiful paper". Walter also name-drops Rev. David Swing who as the most popular clergyman of Chicago of the time naturally would have been known to and by Beecher. An interesting curio of an artifact.

186137603Sumter County GA 1861. Manuscript document 7-1/2" x 25." Neat ink manuscript listing after the prefatory sentence quoted in our title 57 names in the first column and names 58-64 in the second column. Similar flourishes in the names suggest that at least many were written in an identical hand. The two columns are separated by a rule in manuscript. Old folds Very Good. Allen Sherrod Cutts listed as Captain heads this list of 64 volunteers. Cutts raised this Battery of Artillery at the outbreak of the War. The Battery arrived in Virginia after the First Battle of Bull Run and saw action at the Battle of Dranesville. In 1862 Cutts expanded the Battery to a Battalion the 11th Georgia Artillery Battalion as its commander. Cutts was promoted to Major Lieutenant Colonel both in 1862 and colonel April 1864. The Battalion served in the Artillery Reserve of the Army of Northern Virginia under General Pendleton in the Seven Days Battles; and it fought at Antietam Fredericksburg Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. After the War Cutts entered politics as a Democrat was mayor of Americus-- the County Seat of Sumter County-- and a member of the Georgia General Assembly. Speicher THE SUMTER FLYING ARTILLERY 2009.

Instruction for Heavy Artillery; Prepared by a Board of Officers for Use of the Army of the United States

18631000428vo original brown cloth spine gilt letters illustrated with 39 engraved plates xvi 261 3 blank plus 39 leaves with illustrations. Spine ends chipped top hinge weak edges rubbed endpapers browned light foxing. This work was originally published in 1851 and followed with a second edition in 1862. The third edition contains a seven page addendum on the "Service of a 15-inch gun mounted on a centre-pintle iron carriage" that appears to have been omitted from the previous edition. The 1863 edition also appears to have been published hastily as the added chapter on the 15-inch gun is not listed in the table of contents. Also the spine on the volume is still dated 1862. This work was also reissued by the Confederate States in 1861 and 1862. The illustrations were engraved by D. McClelland after sketches by Lieutenant R.H. Rush of the 2nd Artillery Battalion.
