A unique work in its field the book shines with the author's animating spirit. The Count of Saxe reviews all the factors all the elements necessary for successful conduct of battles from uniforms to food to strategy to spies in a simple clear and intelligible style. This is followed by the chapter on the propagation of the human species intended to counterbalance the art of destroying populations; the author shares his thoughts on demographic proliferation and the means of increasing it. The term ""rêveries"" refers not to the modern sense of ramblings but to that of realized hopes and secret thoughts. Marshal de Saxe was one of the most illustrious military men of his century; he develops in his work the quasi-utopian vision of a military art proposing new solutions both tactical and practical a new uniform for running more quickly.

19269895London: William Heinemann Ltd 1926. Typed first draft manuscript of 465 pages offering several thousand manuscript corrections and alterations made during its composition by the author Maurice Baring. Alongside his novel 'C' Adeane was Baring's most popular and influential novel telling the story of a complex and unfaithful marriage between a London barrister and his wife Fanny who resembles the mysterious Daphne Adeane of the title. She is a Catholic Creole woman whose story is revealed in fits and starts and even in ghostly form from the middle of the novel before a final religious conversion by Fanny resolves the novel in a direction that anticipates the conclusion of Evelyn Waugh's Brideshead Revisited. With corrections to almost every line of the book this typed manuscript's end reveals Baring's creative process in one of his major works. DESCRIPTION: Stout and attractive pre-war half crushed olive levant morocco over sage green cloth covered boards handsomely bound by Zaehnsdorf. Raised spine bands and 'Daphne Adeane MS. Maurice Baring' in gilt to spine. Marbled endpapers. Baring has used a variety of papers including headed paper for 3 Gray's Inn Square from the India Office Whitehall his former employer and a Pall Mall gentlemen's club White's. Some of the paper stock doesn't fit the binding and has been systematically folded into the text along the fore edge. This is a first draft typescript typed quite accurately by the author mostly on rectos with occasional notes opposite on the versos. Each chapter is paginated but there is also a pencil system of through pagination. Sequentially the text starts with a manuscript title page followed by the chapters in order. There are elaborate corrections and emendations throughout all made by Baring in a mixture of pen pencil and blue crayon. Additionally there are paste-overs and inserted leaves of additional typescript and manuscript. Long passages of typescript are crossed through to be banished from the finished text though still legible here. Chapters XIII-XV are particularly heavily altered as Baring reconfigured the scenes in which Michael once again falls in love with his wife Fanny. Here Baring has repeatedly interpolated runs of manuscript pages in order to introduce new drafting. A comparison of a few passages suggests that the 'finished' text in the MS is close to the final one but still differs substantively. A first edition in jacket of the published novel for comparative purposes accompanies the MS.

1672041976. The immediacy of a snapshot and the premeditated calm of a formal portrait A relaxed photograph of Sendak gently holding a baby rabbit in his cupped hands inscribed in lower right corner "To Bodley Head - with pleasure! Maurice Sendak. Febr. '76". There is a pencil note on reverse stating name of photographer together with request "for Maurice Sendak to sign for Max Reinhardt" then managing director of the publishing house. It was The Bodley Head that transformed the reputation of Sendak: "for several years Wild Things remained no more than an American picture book. It was only after Judy Taylor The Bodley Head London overcame colleagues' fears regarding the reception of the monsters that a British edition was issued in 1967. and it was thus that Max conquered the world" One Hundred Books Famous in Children's Literature. Max Reinhardt 1915-2002 bought The Bodley Head in 1957 and would publish work by Graham Greene George Bernard Shaw and Muriel Spark. During his time at the company The Bodley Head developed an outstanding list of children's books including work by Sendak. Judy Taylor was the Children's Books Editor for over 15 years and when Sendak suffered a heart attack during a publicity tour for Where the Wild Things Are she was responsible for getting immediate medical aid. Sendak used to claim that Taylor had saved his life. A stuffed toy mouse that Taylor gave Sendak during his hospitalization became a cherished possession of Sendak's and he requested that it be cremated with him upon his death. The photographer Nancy Crampton took a number of photographs of Sendak. One example presumably contemporary with the current photo was reproduced in Crampton's volume entitled Writers 2005 with the location and date provided as "Ridgefield Connecticut 1976". Crampton notes in her "Afterword" to that volume that her vocation was "to depict the artists and writers of my time". "Nancy Crampton's photographs of writers are more varied than the typical head shot. There is a certain guilelessness about them an open responsive interest in the subject whether it is a face at its most opaque and masklike or one at its most vulnerable and inviting. We may be looking at the photo of a face but what we feel is the presence of Crampton's attention. The issue of discovering a connection between the photographs of authors and what we have experienced in one or many of their books is put aside. Certainly Crampton is not burdened with connecting the two. There is more to her photographs than just the face of an author. The positioning of the body the angle of the head the sudden or gradual fall of light - all play a part in creating pictures that magically combine the immediacy of a snapshot and the premeditated calm of a formal portrait. None of this would be possible without the willing participation of the subjects themselves but it is Nancy Crampton's directness - her naturalness and lack of theatricality - that is the foundation of their willingness" Strand.

19380010004<p>On offer is a fine collection of diaries and documents belonging to Maurice S. Hahn CPA a very successful finance and accounting professional in the United States. The diaries detail the life of a young student from rural Indiana at the end of the Depression—a man who would go on to build a very successful career and make a positive impact on his community. For an historian they provide a fascinating look at mid-century student life at a major American university. The card and case are an excellent piece of memorabilia from an exciting university social event while the ration booklets offer sobering insight into life on the home front during WWII. Hahn was born in 1918 in rural Indiana. He received his BA from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor and enlisted in the US Army at the beginning of World War II. He lived his professional life in Michigan and passed away in 2016 at the age of 97. During his war service he rose to the rank of Master Sergeant and was responsible for the payroll of some 40000 soldiers. After the war he earned his CPA designation established his own firm and eventually through a series of mergers became a managing partner of Coopers & Lybrand now PricewaterhouseCoopers – PwC. He was very active in his community. The collection includes four WWII war ration books issued to Hahn's wife and her siblings. These booklets are partially complete with some ration stamps for specific commodities such as coffee or sugar and "spares." Also included is a small case containing a package of playing cards with the University of Michigan's crest. The case is monogrammed "J-Hop 1949." It also contains an eight-page insert card that lists the patrons and committee members of the Class of 1949 J-Hop. J-Hop was the name by which the Junior Ball was known at the University of Michigan. Begun as a formal dinner and dance evening in 1860 by Hahn's time it had grown to a major multi-day social event. Entertainment was provided by some of the biggest name bands in the United States. In 1949 for Hahn's J-Hop the signature performer was the Tommy Dorsey Band. Both the case and the cards are in very good condition. The diaries open with Hahn working in his father's dry goods store in Mishawaka Indiana. The Great Depression still cast its pall over the country and the American Midwest was hard-hit. "Worked at store. . It was the day Relief orders come in. ." May 23 1938 "Got mail from U of Mich saying they accepted my application. . Worked at store. We were pretty busy all day. It was WPA pay day. ." Aug 31 1938 Once he entered university his days were filled with classes assignments and social events. "Got up at 6:45 to fix fire Got up at 7:30 washed ate Got postcards sent one home got job at Wolverine from Vern Bowers Economics quiz Psych Ate with the Boys Came home Math got food permit from Health Services got haircut from Herran at Union shaving cream Studied Slept Swept porch ate with the Boys Pep meeting at Field House rioting was broken up by M Club fellows Bed 13:30." Oct 6 1939 He does not mention any of the larger events that were happening in the world such as the start of WWII the bombing of Pearl Harbor or America's entry into the war. However he does record that he did not want to take part in the conflict: ". Saw Rev Schmale about Consc Obj form Conscientious Objector. Filled it out. Wrote note to Mama to include." June 8 1941 Maurice Hahn graduated with his bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan in 1942. He then enlisted in the United States Army. The four diaries are in good condition and date 1938 1938 1940 and 1941. They are 6.0" x 3.5" 365 pages long and are 100% complete. The ration book covers are fair with worn covers and good-condition binding and pages. </p>

Writing approximately 130 pages somewhat sporadically Maurice seems to have spells when he writes diary entries every day stops and then resumes writing again. Most of his entries are long with plenty of detail giving an insight into his character his duties and the reality of conflict. At first he seems interested only in sleeping eating drinking and watching films but he is promoted to officer rank and seems to take army life more seriously. Many entries include operational and technical details. He was based in or worked in many locations including: Hebron Arathanya Transjordan Saraband Kantara Jaffa Rehoveth and Lydda. Here are some snippets and notes: "From what I saw of it it was a nice place Dover but I may be wrong; Had a lecture on "Walking out" in which we were told about French girls and wines; Better food. That's the main thing and my reason for volunteering for this job serving in the officers and civilians lounge on board The Empire Battleaxe to Port Said; We were troubled by the wogs a lot though as they were following us all over the place trying to sell their goods; I was able to smoke like a chimney as I had received my free issue; At a dance There were only 2 girls there and everyone was fighting for them; Went to Saraband as an escort with the water wagon; Provided a cordon for the 68th Rifles who are going to search an Arab settlement west of Rehoveth; The duty on the docks is OK but the food the cook dishes up is something awful; Bit of a flap on at Haifa. Illegal immigrant ship; We have started on a new type of operation clearing mines from the railway line between Petal Tigus and Lydda; An Arab has thrown a bomb through another Arabs shop window; About 10.30 Sten Gun fire was heard later found out it was a party returning from the pictures and had run towards the sentry and no messing he opened up.
