[ENGLISH CIVIL WAR]Biblio.com

The late proceedings of The Scottish Army: As also the taking of Cannon Froome. Certified By an Expresse from his Excellencies Quarters the Earle of Leven Lord Generall. Dated at Ludbury the 23. of July 1645. Together with other Letters from the Kings Quarters to the Generall and Lieutenant-Generall and Answers thereunto

1645AQ22725London: Printed by M. B. for Robert Bostock 1645. 2 6pp. Modern navy morocco lettered in gilt to spine T.E.G. Marbled endpapers early alternate manuscript pagination to upper corners. With a loosely inserted letterpress receipt from bookseller Frank Hammond addressed to Lord Cottesloe acknowledging payment of £12 for the book in 1961. The sole edition of a decidedly uncommon news-book account of the actions of the Army of the Solemn League and Covenant - led by veteran Scottish Army officer Alexander Leslie 1st Earl of Leven c.1580-1661 - in the summer of 1645 reporting most particularly on their taking of a royalist garrison within the moated house at Cannon Froome Herefordshire. Following the defeat of a Royalist rebellion against the Covenanting-led Scottish Government in the Spring of 1645 the Scottish army of the Solemn League and Covenant - named after the 1643 treaty between the reforming parliaments in England and Scotland- led by the Earl of Leven marched south to assist their allies. As this news-book reports a 'party of 4500 Horse Foot and Dragoons' en route to Hereford became aware of a Royalist garrison led by 'Governor Colonell Barnold' in the small Herefordshire village of Castle Froome. After the Royalist commander refused to surrender the moated house which had been reinforced with Irish volunteers after the battle of Newark Leven the 'Lieut. Generall.gave order for storming the place'. The heat of the battle is described thus from a purely Roundhead perspective: 'The Grasses were about nine foot deep and as broad and in most places full of water; The Works above the Grasses were so high that all the Ladders we could get were too short; the Enemy behaved themselves valourously but it pleased the Lord to give our Souldiers to much courage that after a hot dispute they were beate from their works after which they fled to the house where they fought desparately till a great part of them were killed. We lost about 16. and 24. are wounded; of the Enemy were killed about 70. Colonell Barnold deadly wounded Captain Briskoe Capt. Houke & thirty others taken Prisoners.'

[MAXIMILIAN I OF BAVARIA] / [THIRTY YEARS WAR] / STENGEL, GeorgBiblio.com

Gloria Bellica Serenissimi et Potentissimi Principis Maximilliani .

16235340Ingolstadii: Ex officina typographica G. Haenlini 1623. Hardcover. Near Fine. 4to 27 x 17.5 cm. 17 ff. 388 pp. recte 386 7 ff. with misnumbered pages at pp. 203-06 243-46 and 260-71 1 full-page engraving 20 x 15.5 the platemark. Bound in contemporary blind-stamped pigskin raised bands boards beveled somewhat scuffed clasps missing. Blue edges small hole repaired on half title and engraving ownership inscription of Andechs Abbey on title page minor browning in some quires. An excellent and unsophisticated copy. First edition of a rare volume of prose and verse glorifying the military exploits of the Prince-Elector Kurfürst of Bavaria Maximilian I 1572-1651 by members of the University of Ingolstadt as compiled by the Jesuit philosopher-theologian Georg Stengel 1584-1651. The Gloria Bellica is an important witness to the intertwining of princely power university politics and religious sectarianism at the onset of the Thirty Years War 1618-48. Published in the year of Maximilian's elevation to Prince-Elector 1623 the book seems to have been an attempt by faculty at Ingolstadt to secure his favor. The increasingly Jesuitical university would be frequently imperiled during the flux of the war and quickly identified Maximilian himself educated by Jesuits as an important military protector. Maximilian's central role in the German Catholic League had been essential in checking the power of the Protestant Union. The volume is especially notable for its full-page prefatory engraving executed by the Augsburg artist Daniel Manasser a highly detailed and elaborate allegory charting Maximilian's martial rise and the praise conferred on him from various secular and sacred sources. Merchants clerics Liberal Arts herself and a throng of lesser citizens crowd together to salute Maximilian as he rides upward on the back of Pegasus toward the Olympian gods reclining in the empyrean; the demigod Hercules mediates between heaven and earth while battling Nessus and the Lernaean Hydra. Flanking Maximilian's ascent are 8 groups from whom he receives "Gloria": his enemies his commanders and soldiers muses and scientists hometown Bavaria the Catholic League the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand I the pope and church and indeed Mary Christ and the saints. The text of the Gloria Bellica is arranged as a fuller version of this scheme with 20 chapters each detailing a source Maximilian's glory.

With an ornamental woodcut title-vignette. 35 1 blank pp. Rare pamphlet written by an anonymous author discussing the fascinating Battle of Vågen the main port area of neutral Bergen in Norway in August 1665 during the Second Anglo-Dutch War 1665-1667 including its background and aftermath. The Second Anglo-Dutch war was a war at sea caused by conflicts in colonial territories of the Dutch Republic and England. This naval war consisted mainly of protecting their own merchant ships capturing enemy ships and trying to sink mutual warships. The Battle of Vågen was an important naval battle between a rich treasure fleet of the Dutch East India Company VOC and an English flotilla of warships. The present pamphlet gives an account of the events before and after the Battle of Vågen and also in broad lines of the battle itself including all kinds of correspondence and notes from high-ranking figures.Since Tiele attributes this anonymous edition to Venckel it seems likely to be the first edition which Venckel first published anonymously. In any case the present edition is rare. We find only two records of it at auction in 2005 and 2015 the other copies are all held institutionally. A highly interesting pamphlet on one of the most important and fascinating 17th-century sea battles in Dutch naval history and in the history of the Dutch VOC.A few spots the margins trimmed with no loss of text except that the words "Zee-Journael" on the title-page are slightly shaved.

1665ABC_49489Amsterdam 1665. 4to. Jacob Venckel Modern marbled boards. 2 69 pp. Rare pamphlet written by an anonymous author discussing the fascinating Battle of Vågen the main port area of neutral Bergen in Norway in August 1665 during the Second Anglo-Dutch War 1665-1667 including its background and aftermath. The Second Anglo-Dutch war was a war at sea caused by conflicts in colonial territories of the Dutch Republic and England. This naval war consisted mainly of protecting their own merchant ships capturing enemy ships and trying to sink mutual warships. The Battle of Vågen was an important naval battle between a rich treasure fleet of the Dutch East India Company VOC and an English flotilla of warships. Twice a year the Dutch VOC sent a treasure fleet from the East Indies to the Dutch Republic with money and goods. On 24 December 1664 one of the richest-laden fleets in Dutch history departed from Batavia for the homeland with a cargo estimated to be worth millions. This fleet was intended to support the Dutch Republic financially and therefore should not fall into enemy hands. Since the tensions with England were already high in 1664 an experienced officer the rear admiral Pieter de Bitter ca. 1620-1666 was appointed to command this fleet.The present pamphlet gives an account of the events before and after the Battle of Vågen and also in broad lines of the battle itself including all kinds of correspondence and notes from high-ranking figures. The dating in the title is incorrect as the story took place from August 1 to August 20 which is why the title has been corrected by hand in the present copy. The present edition is one of two both printed in 1665 but with a different imprint the present one with the publisher and place of publication and the other with only the year and the alignment of the text. However they were both likely printed by the same printer. The present edition is very rare. We've not been able to find other copies in sales records and only a few in institutions. A highly interesting pamphlet on one of the most important and fascinating 17th-century sea battles in Dutch naval history and in the history of the Dutch VOC.The date "13. Juny" has been crossed out on the title page and replaced by "1. Augusti" in manuscript. The work is slightly browned throughout a small hole in the lower margin of the title-page and an ink drop in the lower margin of page 65.

WORLD WAR I - ADEN; DYCE, A GBiblio.com

Photograph album of service with the Aden Field Force 1916-1919.

1619161520Aden: 1916-19. The First World War in south Arabia A fine personal album of unique images of the AFF in the field taken and compiled by Captain A. G. Dyce 1886-1959 deputy assistant director Supply and Transport Corps. It includes photographs of infantry cavalry and artillery units the use of balloons and the signal contribution of ship-launched aircraft under the command of Charles Rumney Samson. On the outbreak of war Ottoman forces advanced into the Western Aden Protectorate from Yemen forcing the British to withdraw from Lahej and part of the Aden settlement. While Turkish encouragement of jihad fell on deaf ears in central Arabia "it found resonance in Yemen. Ali Said Pasha the skilful Turkish commander was so successful in radicalising the tribes for the Ottoman cause that he was able to push British forces into the enclave of Aden. The tactic that defeated Ali Said Pasha was the use of Imam Yahya who argued that Yemen was not for the British or Ottomans but the Arabs. Arab nationalism eroded Said Pasha's influence and saw England supporting a treaty with Imam Yahya as monarch of Yemen which concluded in 1920" Infantry p. 43. Born in India and educated at Wellington College Alan George Dyce 1886-1959 son of Brigadier-General G.H.C. Dyce Indian Staff Corps joined the Indian Army in 1906 serving initially with 22nd Sam Browne's Cavalry. He was a keen photographer appearing in an issue of Amateur Photographer for 1917 and mountaineer being on the committee of the Himalayan Club. Despite being taken in the field while on active service Dyce exhibits a good eye and composes his pictures with care. There are many shots of the combined arms operating with the AFF: No. 13 Kite Balloon Section of the Royal Navy Air Service five images the Mountain Battery of the Malay States Guides lancers of what are presumed to be the 26th King George's Own Light Cavalry and medical facilities including a cavalry field ambulance at Sheikh Othman an advance dressing station a camel ambulance tonga a two-wheel vehicle common in India and camels with cacolets cradle-like structures mounted either side of the camel's hump. One image signed by Dyce in pencil on the verso is captioned: "The GOC Aden F.F. leaving the dais with the Sultan after the installation ceremony" and shows 'Abd al-Karim II ibn al-Fadl al-'Abdali Sultan of Lahej reigned 1915-1947 being handed down from the dais by Brigadier-General William Crawford Walton. There is a sequence of six images covering the "Fight at Jabir" 7 December 1916 described in General Sir Charles Monro's despatch as having had "a demoralising effect on the Turkish Arab auxiliaries and to have produced the intended result viz. preventing the withdrawal towards the Yemen of Turkish troops from Lahej". One panoramic shot shows British officers observing the shelling of Turkish positions and three others the sighting positioning and firing of what appears to be a six-inch naval gun. Three wide-angle shots show the mountain battery and its camel team hauling 15-pounder mountain guns. A trio of crisp sepia-toned prints depict Indian Army troops of the "water column" perhaps the 66th Punjabis who are named elsewhere: "filling water carts with condensed water sent from Aden" "filling canvas tanks" and "water column moving out". Commander Samson 1883-1931 features in one image "Seaplane: Cmdr. Sampson sic" which shows a huddle of figures around the cockpit of what appears to be a Short 184 its wings detached and apparently undergoing repairs. This accompanies "Signalling to plane with lamp and canvas strips" another excellent wide-angle shot taken from a high position that encompasses a rail track steamroller and men laying out a triangular canvas-strip indicator. Most intriguing is a small snapshot of a manned seaplane suspended from a derrick over the side of a ship probably HMS Ben-my-Chree. The pilot may be Samson and the plane a Short 184 that he modified by adjustments to the wings and tail fin and christened the "Short Cut". Captured Turkish prisoners feature in eight images including their commander Said Pasha; two are captioned "Turks marching in to surrender" and "Turks going in by train" while a series of five is titled "Turkish prisoners and guns" including a touching image of two Turkish soldiers under escort their eyes bandaged one holding the other's coat tails. Landscape folio album 240 x 280 mm. 49 ff. some blank. With 92 photographs from 40 x 65 to 170 x 270 mm portrait and landscape format mounted on rectos only on brown leaves including a panorama in two parts joined with tape some images loose one hand-coloured many captioned in pencil on verso or in white on mounts. Commercial Kodak album of black morocco-grain faux leather. Spine ends a little worn many images loose but clean and unfaded: very good. Infantry Volume 97 Number 1 2008. hardcover
