190573670Lawrence MA: N.p. ca. 1905. Original manuscript. Quarto. 78 leaves with calligraphic text and many paintings and illuminations on rectos only. Royal part with 10 full page hand-colored illustrations of shields etc and 11 historiated initials and arabesques; all in color. Pilgrim part all in dense cursive and with red borders to the pages. Almost surely created and given as a present to her father Arthur Demerick Marble by Marion Wright Marbles. Excellent.Arthur Demerick Marble was born at Hingham Massachusetts to Deborah Hawkes and Demerick Marble 1819-1898. Arthur became a civil engineer and worked in Lawrence Massachusetts. He married Mary O. Richardson in November 1876 and the couple had a daughter Marion Wright Marble in 1871. Arthur D. Marble became City Engineer in 1879. Arthur was the family historian and Yale has two volumes of genealogical and related materials of the Marble-Richardson family from the Hingham area of Massachusetts. The work was compiled by Arthur Demerick Marble of Lawrence Massachusetts. Included are family charts pictures drawings clippings biographical sketches letters copies of diaries and legal documents. Prominent figures are Gershom and Demerick Marble Thomas Burr represented by diaries from the French and Indian and Revolutionary Wars Abijah Richardson Jr. who travelled to California in 1851 and John Lewis writing from Maine in 1746-1747. This would lead one to believe that Arthur created this album but in no instances do we find mention of illumination and calligraphy in his notebooks. In the illuminated genealogies in this volume all lines end in Marion Wright Marble. The book also bears the bookplate of Arthur D. Marble. If it had been the other way around we would expect the bookplate to be that of Marion. As was probably the custom of the time this genealogy begins with characters from the bible. On the Royal side she traces their ancestors to King Alfred Hugo Capet and Kenneth Macalpin. She traces her pilgrim roots to Jonathan Brewster and Thomas Clarke. Both of whom arrived in America in the 1620s. There are two plates and one newspaper article dated 1901 incorporated as part of the book. Marion was a very skillful artist and calligrapher making this short genealogy a pleasure to read. N.p. unknown

New/New. <p><strong>Author:</strong> Sanders Marble</p><p><strong>Publisher:</strong> Brill</p><p><strong>ISBN:</strong> 9789004305243</p><p><strong>Release Date:</strong> 2016</p><p><strong>Languages:</strong> English</p><p><strong>Binding:</strong> Hardcover</p><p><strong>Number Of Pages:</strong> 396</p><p><strong>Details:</strong> In King of Battle: Artillery in World War I a distinguished array of authors examines the centrepiece of battle in the Great War: artillery. Going beyond the usual tables of calibres and ranges the contributors consider the organization and technology of artillery as well as present aspects of training doctrine and other national idiosyncrasies. Artillery dominated the battlefields of World War I and forever changed the military doctrine of war. No nation that had participated in significant ground combat would blithely assume that morale could ever replace firepower. The essays included in this volume explain how twelve countries including all the major combatants handled artillery and how it affected the Great War.Contributors include Filippo Cappellano Boyd Dastrup Edward J. Erickson Bruce Gudmundsson James Lyon Sanders Marble Janice E. McKenney Dmitre Minchev Andrey Pavlov Kaushik Roy Cornel and Ioan Scafes John Schindler and David Zabecki. Editorial Reviews Review ""The new book King of Battle: Artillery in World War I is an excellent international study of artillery during the war. Whether comparatively smaller cannons or mortars manned by infantrymen or huge railroad guns served by sailors these pieces made themselves known on the battlefield causing death and destruction and driving changes in fortifications and tactics. World War I artillery even “holds the dubious distinction of causing a new diagnosis shellshock†p. vii. While acknowledging that scholars have written about artillery since the war editor Dr. Sanders Marble then states: “Overall there are only a few books examining artillery in World War I on a comparative international basis†p. vii. Marble and his contributors seek to address the gap with this book.""<br>Major Peter L. Belmonte Marine Corps History 3.1 2017.<br><br> ""Bringing together some of the most renowned scholars from their respective national specializations King of Battle provides a skillful and important study of World War I artillery. Alongside trenches and machine guns artillery stands are at the core of the most evocative images of the conflict. As the most lethal category of weapons artillery in many theaters literally dominated the war. In view of the importance of the topic it perhaps seems surprising that more has not previously been done to encapsulate World War I artillery. The immensity of the topic helps explain the earlier absence. This work goes a long way toward filling a significant gap. . Each part of the book is excellent and the work as a whole is even more impressive than the sum of its parts. . In sum King of Battle packs a formidable punch―in keeping with its subject.""
