18475218San Luis Potosi: Imprenta del Estado a Cargo de V. Carillo 1847. Near fine. 17pp. Original decorative wrappers stitched as issued. Light toning to wraps. Internally clean. A vigorous self defense by General Anastasio Parrodi against attacks on his conduct in his withdrawal from Tampico during the Mexican-American War. Parrodi a Cuban by birth joined the Mexican army in the early years of independence and rose through the ranks due in no small part to his personal friendship with Santa Anna. When the Mexican leader called on Parrodi's garrison to join the forces heading north to confront Taylor at Saltillo his swift exit from Tampico left unguarded the city and a large stockpile of munitions both of which were swiftly captured by the Americans. In this pamphlet Parrodi reprints official orders and documentation in the hopes of demonstrating that he acted correctly rather than treasonously in his abandonment of the city as was being charged in newspaper attacks against his character. OCLC records four copies at Yale SMU Berkeley and UT Arlington. Imprenta del Estado, a Cargo de V. Carillo unknown
1929686New York and London: Harper and Brothers 1929. 8vo. Two volumes. 316 pp. and 338 pp. Green cloth stamped in gold. Both volumes in fine condition. An intimate memoir of a life dedicated to recording heroic effort and suffering in the depths of the many conflicts that arose across Europe and the Middle East Russia and India from Serbia as early as 1876 through the end of the Great War. To those who happen to pick up this volume and do me the honor of reading it I wish to state that they will find no fiction in its pages. Every incident I have set down can be corroborated by comrades "many still living" who have shared my vicissitudes. There is nothing in this book as the old adage goes "to make the dead turn in their graves." - Frederic Villiers August 1919. Harper and Brothers hardcover

18251238721825. First Edition. RAWLE William. A View of the Constitution of the United States of America. Philadelphia: H.C. Carey & I. Lea 1825. Octavo period-style three-quarter brown calf and marbled boards red morocco spine label. $8000.First edition of Rawle's groundbreaking study of the Constitutionthe ""first authoritative interpretation"" of the right of state secessiona powerful influence on ""subsequent leaders and supporters of the Confederacy although in fact Rawle opposed secession.Rawle's early and highly influential study of the U.S. Constitution contains a foundational consideration of the rights of states to secede and offers a major consideration of the several powers in the Constitution including freedom of speech and the scope of the Second Amendment. This is the ""first authoritative interpretation in which was admitted the abstract right of state secession. These views exerted a profound influence on Southern political thought"" Howes. Rawle's View of the Constitution with its crucial views on the right of secession ""was used as a textbook for many years at West Point It is therefore generally considered to have influenced subsequent leaders and supporters of the Confederacy although in fact Rawle opposed secession"" Cohen. ""Elected to the Pennsylvania legislature in 1789 Rawle declined Washington's repeated offers to serve as the first Attorney General. He accepted Washington's appointment as U.S. Attorney for Pennsylvania however and held the post from 1792 to 1800."" Rawle also greatly influenced legal interpretations of the 2nd Amendment in this work. ""Writing a century and a half before the Congressional power 'to regulate commerce among the several States' was construed as a power to ban the simple intrastate possession of firearms Rawle stated that even putting the 2nd Amendment aside Congress would have no power to disarm the people"" Kopel Brigham Young University Law Review. A trustee of the University of Pennsylvania and first president of the Historical Society of Pennsylvania Rawle also founded Rawle and Henderson the law firm with the longest continuous practice in the United States.

197062822Vermont: Charles E. Tuttle Company 1970. First Edition. First Printing. 8vo. 21cm x 15cm. Publisher's orange illustrated card covers lightly faded to the spine clean bright and attractive. A very good copy. 127pp. Internally clean. A follow on publication from Waterhouse's very popular first "Vietnam Sketchbook; Drawings from Delta to DMZ". Colonel Charles H. Waterhouse USMC Ret. who fought and was wounded at Iwo Jima became an official civilian War Combat Artist for the US Navy in Vietnam before going on to become the US marine Corps first Artist in Residence until the 1990's. His candid on the ground and occasionally in the air portraits of of Navy and USMC personnel going about their duties amidst the civilian population were very popular and seem to have partly contributed to a definitive artisitic "Aesthetic of Vietnam" an instantly recognisable style of war art that is all but accompanied by a smell and a soundtrack.

1960210071960. Vietnam War press photographs dating from the 1960s through the 1970s document the impact of prolonged conflict on civilian populations in Vietnam. The war involved sustained military operations by North Vietnamese forces the South Vietnamese government and the United States military producing widespread destruction and displacement throughout the country. Photographs of the period frequently recorded both military activity and the experiences of civilians living amid warfare including refugees religious protest movements and the persistence of daily life within rural communities affected by the conflict.<br /> <br /> Archive contains twenty four silver gelatin photographs measuring approximately 5 × 7 inches to 11 × 14 inches. Many are press photographs retaining original captions or newsprint text printed on the margins or attached to the verso. The images depict a range of wartime scenes including civilians fleeing areas of violence orphaned children and families displaced by fighting. Several photographs document Buddhist religious protests including monks and nuns participating in hunger strikes one image showing a temple interior filled with nuns lying on floor mats during the demonstration. Other images record street confrontations in Saigon with demonstrators throwing stones at South Vietnamese riot police. Military scenes show soldiers from the three principal armed forces involved in the conflict. One photograph depicts a young woman of the People's Army of Vietnam carrying a firearm while dragging wreckage from a United States aircraft along a shoreline. Another image shows a North Vietnamese soldier walking with two women transporting supplies while carrying a sign recruiting volunteers to the People's Army. Additional photographs show American forces arriving in Da Nang and evacuating novice monks from a pagoda near Saigon during nearby air operations.<br /> <br /> Several photographs also record everyday activities in rural regions during wartime. Scenes include a man riding an elephant through a village of thatched houses fishermen casting nets in the Mekong Delta and women wearing rice hats cycling along rural roads. Other images show agricultural or volunteer labor activities associated with wartime mobilization including groups of Vietnamese volunteers working at a military installation while wearing identification badges. Press photographs of this kind circulated widely in newspapers and magazines and played an important role in shaping international public understanding of the Vietnam War and its humanitarian consequences. Minor edge wear and occasional editorial markings appear on some prints while the photographic images remain clear. Very good condition overall and a compelling visual record of civilian and military experiences during the Vietnam War. unknown
