Along the way he visited the ruins of Babylon and the court of Teheran Persia and passed through numerous little-known areas of Turkey and Russia. / Note: The first edition also appeared in 1827 though its pagination is 338 pp. with 1 colored map and 1 colored plate.

A third and revised edition appeared in London 1877. / "George Thomas Keppel sixth Earl of Albemarle second son of William Charles fourth earl by his first wife the Hon. Elizabeth Southwell daughter of Lord de Clifford and grandson of George Keppel third earl of Albemarle was born 13 June 1799. His childhood was passed with his grandmother the Dowager Lady De Clifford who at the time was governess to the Princess Charlotte of Wales. The princess three years his senior often 'tipped' him liberally. He idled at Westminster School from the age of nine until nearly sixteen. When Dr. Page the headmaster had pronounced him unfit for any learned profession an ensigncy was obtained for him in the old third battalion of 14th foot now West Yorkshire regiment. The battalion consisting chiefly of raw recruits was in Belgium and young Keppel whose commission was dated 4 April 1815 joined it in time to be present with it at the battle of Waterloo. Footsore and ragged he marched with the victorious troops to Paris. He returned home with the battalion at the end of the year and when it was disbanded served with the second battalion of the regiment in the Ionian Islands. This battalion was disbanded at Chichester in 1818 when Keppel was appointed to the 22nd Cheshire foot with which he was in Mauritius and at the Cape returning home with the regiment in 1819. / For a time he was equerry to the Duke of Sussex. In 1821 he was promoted to a lieutenancy in the 24th foot was transferred to the 20th and ordered to India. There he served as aide-de-camp to the governor-general the Marquis of Hastings but upon Hastings's resignation in 1823 he obtained leave to return home overland. Relying on a scanty stock of Persian acquired during the long and weary passage out he visited the ruins of Babylon and the court of Teheran thence journeying to England by way of Baku Astrakan Moscow and St. Petersburg a rare feat in those days. His published narrative is an interesting volume. He next served as aide-de-camp to the Marquis Wellesley when lord-lieutenant of Ireland; obtained a company in the 62nd foot in 1825 and after studying at the senior department of the Royal Military College Sandhurst obtained a majority on half-pay unattached 20 March 1827. / He was not on full pay again but he rose step by step finally attaining the honorary rank of full general on half-pay of his former commission 7 February 1874. In 1829 he paid a visit to the seat of war between the Russians and Turks was with the English fleet in Turkish waters visited Constantinople and Adrianople and crossed the Balkans. In 1832 he was returned in the whig interest for East Norfolk in the first reformed parliament and sat until 1835. In 1846 he became one of the private secretaries to Lord John Russell the new premier and in 1847 was returned for Lymington for which he sat until 1849 the year of his father's death. / On the death of his brother Augustus Frederick the fifth earl 15 March 1851 he succeeded to the title. He was appointed a trustee of Westminster School in 1854 in succession to the first Marquis of Anglesey and was long the 'father of the trust.' Few men have been longer known or more generally popular in London society. He retained his faculties to the end of his life during the latter part of which he held receptions on each anniversary of Waterloo at his daughter's house in Portman Square. / Albemarle died at his London residence in Portman Square 21 February 1891 in his ninety-second year and was buried at Quiddenham Norfolk. He married in 1831 Susan third daughter of Sir Coutts Trotter bart. and by her had a son the seventh earl best known as Viscount Bury who died in 1891. Of the sixth earl's four daughters two predeceased their parents.

World War One15th Infantry Known as the "Harlem Hellfighters"International Film Service / Underwood and Underwood PhotographerABAA

Two Press Photographs Relating to the 15th Infantry

1919CAT0119New York: Underwood and Underwood 1919. First Edition. Gelatin silver prints 7 Â¾ x 5 Â½ inches each on 11 Â½ x 7 inch black paper mounts captioned with affixed text. Very Good. Two WWI-era press photographs related to the Negro 15th Infantry Division of the New York National Guard a.k.a. the 369th US Infantry Regiment and their white commander Colonel William Hayward. One photograph shows the division on parade in New York following their return from combat duty in France in 1919 the other is a well-known image of Hayward who organized the all-black unit and served as its leader. Fighting for a record-breaking 191 consecutive days alongside French troops in the trenches the regiment became known as the "Harlem Hellfighters." The opportunity for African-Americans to serve in WWI arose from the Selective Service Act of 1917 which drafted all men between the ages of twenty-one and thirty. Special segregated training camps were established and units were formed. The US National Archives states that 200000 African-Americans served in Europe during WWI but only 42000 saw combat. When the 15th Infantry arrived in France in 1918 Hayward was committed to the idea that his unit would fight on the front lines. After General Pershing refused to integrate them with the full US army Hayward pushed for another assignment under French command. Unlike many other segregated divisions in WWI the 15th aka 369th was eventually sent to the trenches. Its members' distinguished service brought honor and fame. Before leaving the US in 1917 the regiment had not been allowed to participate in the New York National Guard's farewell parade. When they returned victorious Hayward ensured they were publicly honored. Both with various press stamps to versos. Small closed tear of about a half inch to upper edge of parade picture good overall. Hayward portrait with some rippling at edges very good overall. Underwood and Underwood unknown books

Woodcut profile bust of Aristotle on title with dedication Peripateticae Disciplina Principis Vera Aristotelis Stagiritae Effigies. Final leaf with woodcut printers device of Scotus classical muse atop star sphere with motto Fiat pax in virtute tua Let there be peace in your walls. Latin translation by Girolamo Bagolino of Verona c. 1470-1535 professor of philosophy at Padua. Text in double column. Italic and Roman type. 18th-century marbled boards modeled to resemble tree-calf; hole through opening leaves causing some text loss title with minor stains hinges starting p. 135 folded corner repaired clean tear in blank portion of last leaf. The clipped booklabel of Seminarium Mutinense pasted on the title fittingly connects this copy to the Jesuit Seminary library in Modena in the Provincia Veneta which was also a center for study popularly called a Collegium. Sixteenth-century editions of Philoponuss Aristotelian explanations have a major place in the commentarial tradition and philosophy of the Renaissance. 1559 Scotus edition of Philoponuss commentary on the De Generatione et Corruptione of Aristotle; a beautifully produced Venetian work still in good form. John Philoponus also known as John the Grammarian was a Byzantine-era Aristotelian commentator and author of several philosophical treatises. The first Latin translation of Philoponuss commentary on Aristotles treatise De Generatione et Corruptione seems to be the one made by Hieronymus Bagolinus from the Aldine edition of 1527 first published in Venice by Hieronymus Scotus in 1540; the second made by Andrea Silviuis was published by Valgrisius in 1564. This is Scotuss fourth edition of 1559 in which he states errors of the first and the second edition are purged thus repeating the title found in the third. It precedes a fifth and final edition of 1568. Philoponus presents his commentary as notes taken from the seminars of Procluss student Ammonius c. 435-526 AD together with certain remarks of my own; Philoponuss is an elaborate exposition of Aristotelian theory followed by several criticisms which are answered with sophistication. To history this commentary has always been received as a school work but it was an interesting book to early scholars for it was supposed to have been written before 529 terminus post quem - hence before Philoponuss writings became entrenched in Christianity and creationist views. Like most ancient commentaries this one maintains certain importance for the constitution of the text on which it comments. Scotuss publications were widely regarded as elegant productions; wide-format and designed with attractive typeface this refined style was typical on the Venetian marketplace at this time. apud Hieronymus Scotum (Scotus) hardcover books

Commonwealth of the Philippines / pre WWII. Vargas Jorge Bartolome 1890 1980 Executive Secretary. Holbrook Lucius. RoyABAA

ARCHIVE of CORRESPONDENCE Between The COMMONWEALTH Of The PHILIPPINES And OFFICERS Of The U. S. HIGH COMMISSIONER of the Philippines. Primarily Concerning Aerial Photography. 1937 - 1940

194044229Manila 1940. Letters housed in a file folder attached at top with two prong paper fastener. Age-toning & staining. Fastener rusted. Folder front cover chipped & detached. A VG cache. 52 leaves most with typescript to recto only. ~ 10-1/2" x 8-1/8" A cache of 40 typed letters and TLs exchanged between the Office of the President of the Philippines and various officers of the U.S. High Commissioner of the Philippines many on official letterhead and some marked "confidential." The letters ordered chronologically chart the negotiations defense concerns and sometimes uneasy power sharing between the two administrations in regards to the rules and regulations governing aerial photography of the islands. Issues discussed include the advisability of allowing aerial photography by outside entities the feasiblity of specifying no-fly zones for aerial photography without interferring with commercial flights enforcement efforts and the powers afforded the two administrations. The majority of the letters expressing the Commonwealth's position are from and signed by Jorge B. Vargas then serving as Executive Secretary to President Manuel Quezon. Later Vargas administered Manila as an open city during the Japanese occupation in 1942 and served in the puppet government of the Second Philippine Republic; following the war he chaired the National Planning Committee served on the board of regents of the University of the Philippines and became the first Filipino on the International Olympic Committee. In 1960 he was awarded the Legion of Honor by the Republic of the Philippines. Signed letters from the U.S. High Commission include several from Major General R. L. Holbrook as well as Colonel/Acting Chief of Staff E. H. DeArmond. From the first letter dated May 25 1937: "under the present prohibitive measures regarding aerial photography embodied in Proclamation No. 485 of the Governor-General dated August 12 1932 and in the Bureau of Aeronautics rules and regulations it is believed that the granting of permission to aviation companies particularly to an aerial photographic company to take pictures will be exceedingly difficult and complicated. This office is studying the advisability of altering the present rules and regulations." Jorge B. Vargas Secretary to the President. From November 12 1938: "So long as the Philippine Islands remain United States territory the United States is responsible for their defense and that responsibility at least so far as land operations are concerned devolves upon the Commanding General . . . . To say that the Department Commander is supreme in time of war or grave emergency but that in time of peace his responsibilities are limited to administrative control over United States military personnel and United States military reservations and that in peace time he should not interest himself in control or prevention of activities which may have the gravest consequences in time of war or public emergency is manifestly contradictory." Edward H. DeArmond Colonel FS G.S.C. Acting Chief of Staff. From October 26 1939: "I have the honor to inform you that in an investigation conducted by proper authorities of this Government Mr. B. A. Glover airplane pilot in the emply of Elizalde & Co. was found guilty of violation of the provisions of Proclamation No. 364 of the President of the Philippines in view of which he was suspended as transport pilot for a period of one month from October 18 to November 17 1939 inclusive and warned that repetition of a similar offense in the future will be subject of a more drastic action." Jorge B. Vargas Secretary to the President. An interesting cache of material documenting activities of the transitional government of the Philippines just prior to the outbreak of WWII. unknown books

PRISON ETIQUETTE: The Convict's Compendium of Useful Information

195019794Bearsville NY: Retort Press 1950. First Edition. 8vo. Stiff printed pictorial wraps in original dustjacket. One of 2000 copies "entirely hand-set hand-bound and printed on a footpedal press by the editors." Jacket lightly rubbed with some chipping esp. to lower spine. Faint staining. Unclipped. Mild wear to yapp edge of book. Very good overall. INSCRIBED in pencil by contributor James Peck to verso of front endpaper: "Mildred - You said you wanted to read what I wrote about the jig. Well here is some of it and some of what others wrote. It gives you the feel of jailhouse sic. I think the book will interest you. I think they did a groovy job on the cover. -Jim." Noted but slightly misleadingly-titled "anthology of the Prison Writings of Conscientious Objectors to World War II" front flap inscribed by one of its contributors legendary activist and pacifist James Peck. Peck devoted himself to nonviolent resistance and in addition to serving three years at Danbury for refusing to serve during the war he fought for decades for labor peace and civil rights and was arrested dozens of times during his life. Indeed he was a prominent figure in the 1970s prison reform movement in no small measure because of his numerous incarcerations whose earliest experiences are detailed here. Includes a lengthy jacket blurb by Aldous Huxley Bromer B75 as well as striking illustrations by Lowell Naeve. While the book is not terribly uncommon it is complete and in collectible condition. And scarce when inscribed by a contributor. An interesting inscription even almost certainly a later one given the slang. Retort Press paperback books
