375 pages. Index. "When I began my study I looked upon Woodrow Wilson as the villain of the ensuing drama. As I proceeded to delve into the debris of reminiscences and unwritten history, he gradually assumed some aspects of a martyr and a saint. There was a time when there was no one in the world whom I distrusted more than Edward Mandell House. Today he seems to me a genuine philosopher and a gifted statesman. Even if his good intentions, like Wilson's, have helped to pave mankind's way to hell, they gave us a glimpse of the Promised Land where peace abides and a new sanction governs the fate of nations." - xiv. It is commonly believed that Colonel House was in fact a Rothschild agent, assigned the task of seeing the Federal Reserve Act brought into law, thus privatizing the issuance of American money (again). If so, this book is of major importance to every American. Gift greetings, dated 1932, upon front free endpaper else unmarked. Binding intact.

Bercovici's gypsy stories were used three times to make motion picture films, including: Revenge, The Volga Boatman, and Law of the Lawless. Born in Romania in 1882, the author's own childhood was spent in the tents of gypsy's. Bercovici is quoted as saying, "There is not a gypsy in the world who cannot tell you who I am.

pp. lxvii, 420, (8) [Publisher's Catalogue]. Illustrated with 140 wood engravings in text, taken from ancient paintings. 8vo. 230 mm. Later full buckram binding. A very good copy of this great classic (First Edition - 1801). "This book is a key source for information on leisure time activities in 'Olde England,' including sports, hunting, games, dancing, gymnastics, music, festivals including Christmas and May Day and customs such as Mumming, The Boy Bishop, and The Lord of Misrule. It answers questions such as "How do you score a joust?," (p. 125) "When did feral wolves become extinct in Britain?," (p. 12) and "How much do you pay the piper?" (p. 164) And what is Shakespeare talking about when he mentions Shove-Groat (p. 242) or Nine Men's Morris (p. 256)? (The modern equivalents are shuffleboard and tic-tac-toe). Included are numerous quotes from original documents and dozens of plates based on period illustrations. Strutt also documents the constant conflict between popular culture and the religious and secular powers." **PRICE JUST REDUCED! GAMES BOX 5
