Whyld Ravillous 1821:4 First edition.<br /><br /> Jacob Henry Sarratt was a London schoolmaster who learned his chess from Verdoni and established himself as Professor of Chess. He was the leading English chess master from the late 18th century to the early 19th century. He was a frequenter of the London Chess Club which met at Toms Coffee House in Cornhill. His fee was a guinea a lesson. Under his influence stalemate was accepted as a draw. He was the first great English author on chess. His reputation was high and a revelation to English players. His works were of a pioneering character as to chess and the English language. His first excellent books were <i>A treatise on the Game of Chess</i> Vol 1 and Vol 2 1808. There is a prefix listing books on chess from Damiano onwards and some friendly criticism of Philidor. Vol 1 contains Different Methods of Opening the Games then follows 75 Critical Variations. Vol 2 is Teaching the Player who does not have the move how to frustrate his adversarys attack. Then there are instructions how to checkmate and a section on endings with pawns only. His next book introduced in translation the works of Damiano Lopez and Salvio. Published in London in 1813 it deals with those old authors extensively. His next book was Vol 1 Gianutio Vol 2 Selenus with a preface giving some details of the authors. In 1821 was published <i>A New Treatise on the Game of Chess</i>. It is a more exhaustive work than the 1808 publication. He was assisted in this work by his pupil W Lewis. Sarratt died in 1821. His widow then went to Paris and taught chess. In 1844 following an article in <i>Le Palamede</i> describing her as aged 85 and destitute an appeal was launched which enabled her to live in comfort for the rest of her life.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br /> Former library copy from the Brooklyn Public Library with perforated stamp to title and some stamps through out.

190021362Boston/New York: Houghton Mifflin and Company. Very Good. 1900. First Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket an ex-library but nice-looking with only minor handling wear and with some interesting annotations on the rear pastedown see Notes for details. B&W photographic plates INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the ffep: "Faithfully yours / Jacob A. Riis." An account of the author's anti-slum crusade during the decade following the publication of his most famous work "How the Other Half Lives." By 1900 this Danish-American social reformer photographer and muckraking journalist was nationally famous and in demand as a speaker -- which is amply documented by the various markings in this copy which was inexplicably withdrawn from the collection of the Nebraska State Historical Society and is stamped as such on the title page and the rear pastedown. Also on the rear pastedown the original librarian's I assume annotation provides both authentication of the signature and provenance of the book: "Bot bought of HW Brown: $1.10 Pd 2-24-1903 Sig. of author same date heard author lecture at Oliver Theater on 'Tony's Hardships.'" An additional ownership signature that of a Mr. and Mrs. Williams of Lincoln Nebraska appears on a second front endpaper also dated 2-24-1903. The referenced lecture in all its particulars is confirmed by an account in the Nebraska State Journal of February 25 1903 with the reporter commenting that "the unconscious naturalness of Riis's pose and gestures the sincerity of the man and the fact that his words were the outcome of years of keen personal observation and experience all combined to make the lecture one of exceptional interest with the unusual charm of being seemingly a spontaneous talk with an audience with whom the speaker was in full confidence and sympathy." And incredibly some idiot librarian chose to deaccession this book. Well that's Nebraska for you. And I'm from there so I can say that.

See also: megalithic sites of Rugen painted by Caspar David Friedrich and others. Some think Rügen island might have been the home of the Greek temple of Apollo in 500 B.C. Apollo was the god of light and the sun-god who loved amber and amber was thus considered sacred. The largest deposits of amber in the world and those exploited the longest were on the shores of the Baltic Sea in northern Europe. Baltic amber has a rich history of ancient trade supported by guilds of amber craftsmen and stunning works of art. Apollo's love of music poetry and all the fine arts made him the perfect god for the craftsmen on the island. Annotation by Margaret Odrowaz-Sypniewska Printed for Richard Phillips by J. G.
