Woodcut frontispiece. 24 pp. 8vo. With the defeat of the French at Waterloo England once again prepared to confine Napoleon. Looking for somewhere more than remote than Elba this time he was bound for St. Helena a tiny windswept island in the South Atlantic that was first discovered by the Portuguese and previously in control of the East India Company. <br /> <br /> In the wake of this decision there was much interest in the island and printers scrambled to meet demand. This little pamphlet commences with a history of the island followed by an account of its inhabitants food live stock climate and the all-important garrison. The woodcut includes a key to landmarks on the island. Of additional interest are the "Remarks on Ascension Island" being another British possession in the Atlantic.<br /> <br /> Not in OCLC not in COPAC. This copy only on ABPC. J. Brown unknown

Some fading to covers some foxing else very good. 1 vols. 8vo. This William Ellery Channing 1782-1842 was the uncle of the more famous American Transcendentalist poet William Ellery Channing II 1817-1901. The elder Channing graduated with distinction from Harvard at the ripe age of 18. His first and only pastoral settlement was a small church on Federal Street in Boston June 1803. Shortly thereafter Channing became closely identified with the intellectual movement that ultimately spawned the North American Review and a number of other journals. Channing gradually grew into a significant opponent of slavery without ever joining forces with the abolitionists or approving of what he deemed their "extremist" tactics. Channing's writings on Bonaparte such as the present title and other political figures earned him a solid literary and critical reputation in Europe as well as America. <br/><br/> Henry Channing hardcover
