Two Years Under Arms: A Novel of Life in a Military School

195317344New York: Exposition Press. Very Good in Very Good dj. c.1953. First Edition. Hardcover. NOISBN . moderate shelfwear light fading to cloth at edges light discoloration in gutters; jacket a little edgeworn spine is browned with some minor staining a few tiny nicks here and there. The author a native of Dunlap Kansas and a then-resident of Lyons Kansas about 110 miles to the west in case you were wondering novelizes his experience at military school -- by all accounts the sort of thing you never quite get over although it doesn't necessarily obligate you to write a book about it -- to present a "vivid and authentic account of . the hazing the maneuvers the sports the youthful rebellion and all the other countless facets of cadet life." Like many vanity-romans-a-clef the author effectively anonymizes the actual locations of the action -- his protagonist hails from "Centerville" but the description of the town doesn't match Centerville Kansas and attends "Sterling Military Academy in Longmont Missouri." There never has been either a military school or a Missouri town by those names near as I can tell. The novel is set mostly during 1934 and 1935 and although the locus is primarily the doings at the school itself there are at least some references to what was going in Depression-era America and a visiting lecturer even speaks of the rise of Hitler. There's also a kind of amusing passage in which the protagonist take a girl to see the movie LIMEHOUSE BLUES Paramount 1934 which he dismisses as "a morbid piece with many sordid undesirable scenes." All in all it presents a pretty balmy picture of life in a military academy -- even the "hazing" referenced above doesn't amount to much more than a sergeant who yells a bit and calls the cadets "the sorriest bunch of recruits I've ever seen." It does kind of leave you wondering though if the author -- especially since the book was published smack-dab in the middle of the McCarthy Era -- quite knew what he was doing when he named his protagonist "John Reed." .

Two Portraits: Boy with Hoop and Young Girl in a Landscape

181036285London 1810. Watercolor on card first drawing signed lower right. 1 vols. 10 x 7-1/2 inches images. Framed and glazed. Watercolor on card first drawing signed lower right. 1 vols. 10 x 7-1/2 inches images. "Buck Adam 1758-1833 portrait painter elder son of Jonathan Buck a silversmith of Castle Street Cork was born there in 1759. With a younger brother Frederick he studied art from an early age and acquired some repute in youth in his native city as a painter of miniature portraits in water-colour. Coming to London in 1795 he settled at 174 Piccadilly and soon gained popularity. He not only continued to paint miniature portraits in water-colour but produced many portraits in oil and crayon of larger size. Between 1795 and 1833 the year of his death he exhibited at the academy as many as 171 pictures. He also exhibited ten other works at the British Institution and at the Society of British Artists in Suffolk Street. But the pictures that he exhibited represent a small proportion of his labours. Numerous pictures by him were reproduced in coloured engravings mostly in stipple and had a wide circulation. Of extant coloured engravings after his pictures the originals of as many as forty or fifty are not known to have been exhibited. Among his sitters were the Earl of Cavan the Duke of York Sir Francis Burdett Major Cartwright John Cam Hobhouse and John Burke author of the Peerage' and his family. His portraits were carefully finished although they were stiff in treatment and design. Buck was at the same time busily employed as a teacher of portrait painting and in 1811 he brought out a volume entitled Paintings on Greek Vases' which contained a hundred designs not only drawn but also engraved by himself. This work which was planned to continue a similar compilation by Sir William Hamilton is now extremely scarce. In 1807 he moved from Piccadilly to Frith Street Soho and after several changes of residence died at 15 Upper Seymour Street West in 1833. Buck was married and left two sons Alfred and Sidney; the latter followed his father's profession. A miniature portrait of Buck by himself dated 1804 is in the Sheepshanks gallery of the Victoria and Albert Museum London. " - DNB. unknown books

Two Chimney-pieces in the Great Withdrawing-room and the Countess of Derby's Dressing-room

177717125London 1777. Engraving by J. Zucchi. In excellent condition. An elegant engraving depicting two chimneys in Lord Derby's celebrated house in Grosvenor Square London. Robert and his brother James Adam forever changed the face of British architecture by introducing innovative Classical design ideas. From 1754-57 Robert lived in Italy where he had a long productive friendship with Piranesi which was inspirational for both men. Adam's first book on Diocletian's palace in Dalmatia is clearly very like the archaeological investigations Piranesi was making at the same time of similar ruins. Piranesi's friendship and passion for Roman Classicism were seminal influences on Adam and the greatest single factor other than his own talent in the work Adam produced on his return to England. Upon his return the brothers launched their career by building the Adelphi from the Thames to the Strand in London which although not a commercial success at the time included one of London's most cherished buildings the Adlephi Theatre. Together the Adam brothers designed and built some of the most famous buildings in England including such bastions of English architecture as Kenwood House Keddlestone Manor and Syon House. To the interiors of their English country houses the Adams brought wonderful ornamental elements in niches lunettes festoons and reliefs. Their classically designed buildings were so numerous in London that they changed the prevailing feel of the city and established their brand of neo-Classicism as the model of elegance and importance. It is asserted that the brothers originated the concept of the uniform facade attached to the typical English row house an architectural device that distinguishes London buildings. This monumental contribution is evidenced in the Adams' designs for Portland Place and Fitzroy Square and these were used as architectural models for the whole city. The brothers brought their talents into other areas by designing furniture to complement their beautiful interiors and by creating and publishing a treatise of design entitled 'Works in Architecture'. The work was published in three volumes over an extended span of time beginning in 1773 with the final volume being published posthumously in 1822. Cf. Brunet I.47; cf.

Sedgwick AdamABAA

Two autograph letters signed to James Marshall

1857408581857. Sedgwick Adam 1785-1873. Two autograph letters signed to James Marshall. Dent Yorkshire Oct. 7 1857; Trinity College Cambridge Oct. 31 1857. 8pp. total. 186 x 113 mm. Light soiling along folds but very good. Letters with excellent scientific content from one of the founders of modern geology. Sedgwick was responsible for defining the Devonian and Cambrian ages in the geological time scale and his immensely popular lecture courses on geology delivered annually at Cambridge between 1819 and 1870 had an enormous influence on succeeding generations of English geologists. One of his students was Charles Darwin who began attending Sedgwick's lectures in January 1831 and accompanied Sedgwick on a geological field tour of Wales the following summer. The two men remained friends until Sedgwick's death even though Sedgwick was never able to accept Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. IIn his Oct. 7 letter to Marshall Sedgwick discusses the geological researches he was then undertaking in England's Lake District: "I mean D.V. to work my way to Ulverston; & on Saturday or possibly Monday to transfer my head quarters to Broughton. I want to connect our work in all quarries on the east side of the road with the great open quarries in the Ireleth country; which we failed to do. The beds in the great open quarries strike very differently from those you & I saw; yet the strike of the cleavage is unchanged in direction & from end to end almost perpendicular--I think it highly probable that the bed between the Ireleth slate & the Ulverston estuary are nearly all from the flag or flag & grit--And I suspect that some hard gritty ridges I remember to have seen in a part of Cartmell Fell are but a repetition by enormous fault of the Comiston grits. . . ." Sedgwick also notes his intention to "hear Dr. Livingstone's evening lecture"; this is a reference to David Livingstone 1813-73 famous for his exploration of Africa. Sedgwick later provided a preface to Dr. Livingstone's Cambridge Lectures 1858. In his Oct. 31 letter Sedgwick touches on his precarious health--"On Monday I ought to have begun my course of lectures but on that day I had a severe relapse of vertigo & was obliged to put off my lectures until Friday yesterday"--and continues his discussion of his work: "All the rocks from the Ireleth country to the Comiston Ulverston sands are Comiston flag--But in our final traverse we found the hard Comiston grits in the hills S. W. of Penny Bridge--just where they ought to be--I think there is an enormous break down the valley meeting the complicated faults which come down from the hill a little North of Seathwaite at an angle.--In short the country from Ireleth Moor inclusive to the Sand of Ulverston has had a shove southwards of about five miles!" The recipient of these letters James Marshall was an amateur geologist and Fellow of the Geological Society. A friend of both Sedgwick and John Herschel Marshall was "a keen advocate of scientific education" Briggs Victorian Cities 1993 p. 161. Olroyd Earth Water Ice and Fire 2002 p. 20.
