Good.</p><p>Exceedingly RARE. First only edition.</p><p>On December 11 1854 The Times of London editorialized: "We felt it our duty a few days ago to call attention to the fact that if disease or wounds were to incapacitate Lord Raglan for continuing his labours in the Crimea the command of our army would devolve upon Sir Richard England and we suggested that such a change ought by all means to be provided against." The Times goes on to forcefully attack England for his actions as commander of the Scinde field force during the Afghan wars in 1842. "In the beginning of the year 1842 Sir Richard England commanded the Scinde field force. It was extremely important to reinforce General Nott at Candahar where he was in want of men money and ammunition. Near the village of Hykulzye at the foot of the Bolan Pass General England was encountered by some Asiatic troops and repulsed with the loss of nearly 100 killed and wounded. It was of the utmost importance that he should advance or at any rate not retreat for General Nott had written to him that either halting or retiring would have the worst effect throughout Afghanistan and would be more injurious to his present position than 20000 of the enemy in the field. But General England did retreat. His troops were eager to renew the attack; Colonel Stacy the political agent who accompanied him undertook to storm the position with a hundred or even eighty men - thrice he begged for permission and thrice he was refused. General England retired to Quettah and there began to intrench himself leaving Nott the honour of England and the destinies of India to their fate. The defences before which he retreated were not formidable. They were thrown up in a few hours and when afterwards taken some of our officers rode over them without knowing where they were. General England wrote that the enemy were a hundred to one stronger than any one expected though they were fewer than he was informed that they would be. Finally he strove to throw the blame on the Sepoys whom he would not allow to renew the attack. 'The seeming unwillingness of England' says Mr. Kaye 'to redeem his character by a vigorous movement in advance irritated General Nott more than the disaster itself.'"</p><p>In this letter to his brother-in-law A.F.W. Montagu England describes his actions at that time in great detail and proffers a defense of them. Following his letter of December 28 1854 from Sebastopol are published letters written in 1842 defending him from Major-General Charles Napier the Governor General of India Lord Ellenborough and a letter from his Secretary T.H. Maddock. Finally there is an 1855 letter praising England from General Sir George De Lacy Evans.</p><p>The British army officer General Sir Richard England 1793-1883 was born at Fort Detroit at a time when it was part of Upper Canada. In 1841 he took command of the Bombay Army division and was dispatched to the relief of Colonel Palmer at Ghuznee and General Nott at Kandahar. In 1854 he was placed in command of the 3rd Division in the Crimean war.</p> London, 1855. paperback

FIRST EDITION. 'The work of the poet and novelist Sir Walter Scott 1771–1832 frequently reflected his interest in Scottish history and he is regarded as having written some of the most influential historical fiction of the nineteenth century. His literary works include the poem The Lady of the Lake and the novels Waverley and Ivanhoe. Originally published in these two volumes in 1814–17 is a work of non-fiction that illuminates Border history as revealed through architecture and artefacts. Scott was not the sole author but his substantial introduction sets the historical scene for the entries on various castles churches and other historic structures on both sides of the border. Illustrative extracts of his poetry are also included along with many detailed engravings of the evocative scenes and buildings described.' Cambridge University<br> The Border Antiquities of England and Scotland was initially published in 1814 co-authored by John Greig and William Mudford with contributions from Sir Walter Scott notably in the substantial introductory essay. The book is a survey of “specimens of architecture and sculpture and other vestiges of former ages†from the border regions of Scotland and England with historical descriptions accompanied by Greig’s engravings. The illustrations prioritise the empirical details of the architecture monuments and objects discussed in the text but at the same time in a typically nineteenth-century fashion they contextualise the historical monuments within romanticised landscapes.<br> Capturing the historic buildings and sculptures in as much detail as possible the images present complex three-dimensional structures in all of their depth and detail using only lines and hatching on a two-dimensional frame. Paying minute attention to the damage on the structures the weathering and the differing textures of building materials these engravings are executed with scientific precision but without the flatness and sterility of a diagram.<br> Not only do the engravings present clean and clear renderings of the structures described in the text they also incorporate elements of the same romanticism that infuses Scott’s literature. Almost every one of Greig’s illustrations incorporates staffage which gives a sense of scale and depth whilst also an adding allegorical side notes to each illustration. The figures serve a dual purpose technical and aesthetic directing the viewer’s eye to significant points in the image while also creating a romantic context for the scene. A natural abundance is emphasised in each engraving with lush trees and shrubbery framing the historical monuments within a romantic landscape while also acting as a device to create atmospheric recession. Greig even includes incidental details like birds over water and interactions between figures which also help to create the sense that the scene captures a specific place and time. In contextualising the scenes for the viewer these stylistic elements aid in the struggle towards achieving the illusion of three-dimensional space on the two-dimensional surface.

Very Good. Originally from Lawrenceville New York the Shepard Family Band toured throughout the Northeast in the 1880s and 1890s eventually settling in South Royalton Vermont. All members of the family were apparently musically inclined: “In addition to Minnie mother and matriarch Mary “Minnie†Shepard and her husband patriarch James Monroe Shepard all of the children were pressed into service. Daughter Laura Belle the ‘violiniste’ was getting better all the time under the instruction of a ‘competent master.’ Her fans “will be astonished at the improvement in style tone and expression.†It was said of little Lessie that ‘Among lady cornetists she has no equal.’ The darling little son of the family Master Burtie could not help but please for he was well-known to be ‘The youngest Tuba soloist in the world; only nine years of age; scarcely larger than the instrument he plays.’ He was also a ‘clever comedian singer and character artist.†The baby little Flossie “a sweet little miss of four summers’ was said to be a “wonderful mimic and impersonator…a veritable little fairy.’ Daughters Kittie and Georgia were also part of the troupe.†- Henry Sheldon Museum.

An elegant Jacobean reissue of the Latin Book of Common Prayer: a compact service-book that carries the English Reformation into the language of scholarship. First issued in 1560 for use in colleges schools and universities the Liber offered an authorised Latin form of worship for learned institutions while remaining firmly within the post-Reformation settlement of the Church of England. In this 1604 John Norton reissue it survives as both devotional manual and academic artefact: a book meant to be handled consulted and used. By Church of England Author Bio: The Church of Englands Liber precum publicarum is the authorised Latin version of the reformed prayer book first issued in Elizabeth Is reign for use especially in scholastic settings. Modern catalogues and recent scholarship describe it as a revised Latin translation associated with Walter Haddon the Tudor humanist and civil lawyer long linked with the text. Synopsis: A Latin Book of Common Prayer with the Psalter appended designed for use where Latin remained the working language of devotion and learning. The work stands at the intersection of liturgy pedagogy and confessional statecraft: not a survival of the medieval rite but a consciously Protestant service-book recast in classical dress. The 1604 Norton issue continues the octavo form seen in the 1574 edition and later reissues.
