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.

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.
