Fascinating visual record of relief services for Russian officer refugees in Holland. By the end of the First World War thousands of Russian prisoner-of-war escapees and deserters were scattered in cheap lodging-houses throughout Rotterdam and Schiedam many with very little desire to be repatriated. The images collected here show a well-organized attempt to provide comprehensive assistance for them. Group portraits show two of the committees for the assessment of cases with a number of individuals identified in the captioning; there are also individual portraits of the head of the committee the secretary the heads of the Economic and Accommodation Departments. Other images show the processing of new arrivals undergoing interview and receiving an issue of civilian clothing; there are views of the boot and clothing workshops the dentist's surgery the doctor's office and emergency room the dining room temporary church the classrooms of the secondary school the blacksmith's shop and the carpentry electronics and mechanical engineering facilities.

The first English edition of Livy's Roman History translated by Holland considered one of the greatest translators of the Elizabethan era. "His first published translation The Romane Historie 1600 was the first complete rendering of Livy's Latin history of Rome Ab Urbe Condita into English. According to John Considine: 'It was a work of great importance presented in a grand folio volume of 1458 pages and dedicated to the Queen. The translation set out to be lucid and unpretentious and achieved its aim with marked success. It is accurate and often lively and although it does not attempt to imitate the terseness of Latin it avoids prolixity.' " Livy or Titus Livius gives us the Ab Urbe Condita literally "From the Founding" a history of Rome from its very beginnings. The first 10 books are the most famous celebrated for their grandeur -- "it as a panegyrist of Rome and Italy that Livy finds his most memorable expression." Here we learn of the quasi-mythological history of Rome of Aeneas Romulus and Remus and the battles of the early kings of Rome; the Law of the Twelve Tables the wars against the Gauls the Latins and the Samnites and finally the battle -- complete with elephants --between Hannibal's son Hasdrubal and Nero. Livy was known as a supreme master of the Latin language. "His prose was worthy of Cicero's but more subtle more malleable and more lyrical." Livy probably wrote his history of Rome during the reign of Augustus Caesar; it is a fascinating work that in many cases is our only source of numerous aspects of Roman history; with vivid accounts of Tarquin the Proud the Carthagenian Wars and other events from Rome's tumultuous past. A beautiful and important book in a magnificent binding complete save for the front and rear blanks in quite good condition with a nice provenance. ; Folio 13" - 23" tall . Adam Islip hardcover

First edition of the first complete translation of Livy into English and the earliest major publication of Philemon Holland 1552-1637 in a handsome contemporary binding possibly from the circle of Henry Frederick Prince of Wales 1594-1612. Holland's Livy his first published translation was the first in a series of unabridged translations of canonical Latin authors that established his reputation as the 'translator generall in his age' Pforzheimer 495. The present work gave English readers their first complete Livy and quickly became one of the most influential classical histories available in the vernacular. 'Holland claimed to have written the whole manuscript with the same pen: ""a monumental pen"" says Fuller which ""he solemnly kept"" and which ultimately was enclosed in silver by a lady of his acquaintance' DNB commemorating the scale and ambition of the undertaking. The translation is frequently cited among the intellectual sources of Shakespeare's Coriolanus. While Thomas North's Plutarch supplied the narrative framework Holland's Livy appears to have contributed a broader political temper to the play one sceptical of purely martial heroism and more attentive to negotiation compromise and civic pragmatism. The work's influence continued well into the seventeenth century; during the English Civil War it was read across ideological divisions - by constitutional theorists such as Sir Francis Nethersole by Leveller writers and by Royalist pamphleteers - for its complex treatment of Rome's transition from monarchy to republican government. Provenance: Possibly from the circle of Henry Frederick Prince of Wales 1594-1612 eldest son and heir apparent of James I widely admired by contemporaries for his learning and intellectual seriousness and the founder of a substantial and carefully assembled library said to have contained more than a thousand volumes. Bindings associated with the prince's collection are known to employ crowned fleur-de-lys badge tools of the same decorative type as those found on the present volume see British Armorial Bindings Online stamps 14 15 23 and 29. The large strapwork centrepiece belongs to a recognised group of high-quality London 'centrepiece' bindings produced for patrons at the upper end of the trade. The workshop responsible appears to have had connections with the printing house of John Bill later King's Printer from 1617 Pearson 'English centrepiece bindings ca. 1560-1640 in Manchester libraries' no. 008g.
