Quatrième volume de l'importante Histoire de la guerre des Pays-Bas, oeuvre du jésuite italien Famien Strada (1572–1649), historien de renom et professeur d'éloquence au Collège romain. Composée à l’origine en latin sous le titre De Bello Belgico, cette histoire de la révolte des Provinces-Unies contre la couronne d'Espagne couvre les principaux épisodes de la guerre de Quatre-Vingts Ans (1568-1648). La traduction française de ce tome, due au P. du Ryer - écrivain et traducteur prolifique du XVIIe siècle - se distingue par un style fluide et oratoire, typique de son époque. Du Ryer, célèbre pour avoir également traduit le Coran et divers auteurs antiques et modernes, propose ici une version élégante, parfois libre, mais fidèle à l'esprit du texte. Ce tome IV poursuit le récit avec une riche galerie de portraits de chefs militaires, des analyses politiques et un souci constant de la mise en scène historique. Bon état des planches et du texte, bon exemplaire.

195420011203Kentfield California: The L-D Allen Press 1954. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Fine/very good. Dean Mallette. One of 175 copies quarto size 146 pp. Marie-Henri Beyle 1783-1842 is likely best remembered today for his novels "Le Rouge et le Noir" and "La Chartreuse de Parme" and is considered one of the earliest authors of realism. Stendhal saw much of the Europe of his day; as part of the Napoleonic army he participated in the 1812 invasion of Russia and the retreat therefrom; served as the French consul in parts of Italy and eventually moved to Paris being buried in Montmarte. <br/><br/>Stendhal's "Journals" provide a fascinating glimpse not only into some of the places to which he travelled but more importantly into his inner thoughts; he was one of the Allens' "esteemed authors" and they were excited at the chance to publish an excerpt of his "Journals" when approached with the idea by Professor Francis Carmody. <br/><br/>As stated in the Allen Press bibliography "this was our fourth edition to be produced entirely by hand with hand-crafted materials throughout. We were now convinced that this method was our proper métier - that the handpress is the most satisfactory instrument in a chimerical attempt at the craftsmanship standards set by Kelmscott Doves and Ashendene presses" p. 39. This book was selected as one of the AIGA fifty books of the year. <br/><br/>___DESCRIPTION: Bound in full Fortuny printed cloth from Venice of antique red on a dull gold background headbands of black and gilt title page in red and black in opposing vertical columns each section with headpieces of one of the two wood engravings by Mallette Dean one of an elaborate quill pen forming the shape of a fleur-de-lis the other of a cluster of grapes and leaves; handset Romanée type Crown & Sceptre paper hand-made in England with the watermark "British Hand Made" quarto size 10.25" by 7.25" pagination: 1-6 7-146. Dust wrapper of plain black Italian laid paper with gilt lettering on the spine. <br/><br/>___CONDITION: Fine with clean boards perfectly straight corners totally without rubbing a strong square text block with solid hinges the interior is clean and bright and entirely free of prior owner markings; clean crisp as new. The paper dust jacket we are grading as very good due to minor overall edgewear and a rectangular chip at the top of the rear joint approx. one inch by one-third inch; as the Allens stated in their bibliography "this paper proved to be too perishable; a clear acetate jacket would have been more durable and would have revealed the handsome Italian cloth." <br/><br/>___CITATION: Allen Press bibliography no. 15; Hawk no. 319.<br/><br/>___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details.<br/><br/>___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.

179946241Philadelphia: Robert Campbell 1799. First American edition. Hardcover. g to vg. Large octavo 8 1/2 x 5 1/2". xxiii 1 297 1pp Vol. 1; 267 1 xxivpp Vol. 2. Modern brown cloth with gold lettered leather title label to spine. Engraved frontispiece to both volumes. Lacking the separately printed atlas as usual.<br /> <br /> First American edition of this official report on the British Macartney Embassy to China that took place between 1792 and 1794. It was written after the return to England by the Secretary to the mission Sir George Leonard Staunton 1st Baronet 1737-1801 based on his own observations and notes from other crewmembers including his twelve-year-old son Sir George Thomas Staunton 2nd Baronet. <br /> <br /> "The account offers rich insights into the beginnings of British Imperialism in China and thus makes it an important primary source for the historiography of Sino-Western relations. There is an academic dispute whether the account marks a sudden turning point in British-Chinese dynamics or reflects a slow and complex divergence. <br /> <br /> While the political and economic ambitions of the embassy failed the account by Staunton brought back detailed descriptions of and observations on the Chinese culture that were received with curiosity in the West and led to the commercial success of the book and the publication of several translations and subsequent writings on the Macartney Mission." From Wikipedia<br /> <br /> This work is splendidly illustrated throughout with eight stunning engravings by Samuel Seymour two in volume one six in volume two including the frontispieces as called for in the directions to the binder. The xxiv page appendix contains detailed tables and charts dealing with population and socio-economic information.<br /> <br /> Previous owner's stamp E. W. Sage at verso of first frontispiece and at upper margin of first title. Moderate and sporadic foxing / age-toning throughout. Binding in very good interior in good to very good condition.
