181959962Paris: Chez Arthus Bertrand 1819. First edition in French first published in English London 1816. 8vo. 4 volumes: 4 lxxiv 309; 4 346; 4 432; 4 517 pp. Engraved frontispiece portrait to volume one. This work contains a portion of the king's autobiography the original of which is now lost. Some controversy exists over who actually wrote the book and it is variously attributed to a number of authors; Clarke 1766-1834 the biographer of Lord Nelson was certainly involved in its publication. James 1633-1701 the second surviving son of Charles I served as James II King of England and Ireland and James VII King of Scotland 1685-1688 when he was deposed by the Glorious Revolution.

1915CAT0127New York et al. 1915. Silver gelatin prints roughly 8 x 8 8 x 10 and 5 x 7 inches the last on a larger mount. Very Good. In 1914 Francis Red Fox James now presumed to be related to the Blackfoot tribe rode a horse across the country seeking states' approval for an American Indian national holiday. He delivered endorsements from 24 states to the federal government but a commemoration never materialized. The Washington Herald reported that James rode 4000 miles from a Crow reservation in Montana and was received by President Wilson to discuss the possibility of a "national Indian's Day" in October. Washington Herald 12/16/14 <br /> <br /> Although his mother was probably Blackfoot James claimed Native American heritage only as an adult. He changed his name by adding "Red" and later "Skiuhushu" to Francis Fox James. Two of the images in this collection contain familiar tropes of American Indian portraiture but the third offers an arresting image of James holding the American flag aloft as a kind of offering. This enigmatic gesture could be read as evidence of an optimistic belief in a mutual relationship between the US and American-Indian nations. It is also undoubtedly related to James' interest in legitimizing his Indian heritage as the founder of the Tepee Order a youth organization addressed mainly to white Protestant children. By 1920 the Order had evolved into an adult secret fraternal organization shrouded in mysticism. James was also associated with the Boy Scouts; he is credited with organizing the first All-Indian Boy Scout Troop in 1915. <br /> <br /> In The Search for an American Indian Identity 1970 Hazel Hertzberg writes that James "was deeply troubled by his degree of Indian 'blood.'" In addition to changing his name several times to seem more "Indian" he theorized that his Welsh ancestry was pre-Columbian using the Tepee Order to create a kind of third space a "pan-Indian society" that was neither Indian nor white. <br /> <br /> We find no other examples of these photographs though a US flag does appear on James' saddle in a photo documenting his White House visit. One picture signed by James with "Indian in Prayer "Great Spirit. / Red Fox James. Blackfeet." on recto and the following on verso: "A Gift / To my dear Friend / Eugene Beaton / c/o Burns Studio / Bucyrius sic Ohio. From Red Fox James / Blackfoot Tribe." Generally a very good collection with some fading to images but well preserved overall. unknown books

"Meade's character and leadership made him a power for good throughout not only the Episcopal Church but the entire state." DAB.

The Romanists who blindly take everything from the infallible oracle of their Church think it impossible they can be wrong and therefore disposed most violently to condemn others." FIRST EDITION.
