‎Chaucer the Love Poet. Essays by Norman Eliason Edmund Reiss Robert Kaske James Wimsatt.‎

‎Athens: University of Georgia Press 1973. Octavo blue cloth hardcover gilt letters 117 pp. Very Good with foxing age darkened spotting in a Very Good dust jacket with lightly rubbed edges. From jacket: .Presents complementary essays by leading medievalists. Norman Eliason argues that Geoffrey Chaucer is preeminently a love poet and that his characteristic subject is chiefly ordinary or everyday love.In contrast Edmund Reiss believes that the principal thrust of love in the poet’s work is parodic in nature -- and that ordinary love is not directly used to measure other forms of love.Robert Kaske establishes an alternative theory of theme and structure which elaborates and extends George Lyman Kittredge’s famous explanation of the interconnections among these related tales. James Wimsatt explores the allegorical and satiric motifs which Chaucer drew from the Canticle of Canticles giving particular emphasis to the Merchant’s Tale.

‎Amerique septentrionale avec les Routes Distances en miles Villages et Etablissements François et Anglois. Par le Docteur Mitchel Traduit de l'Anglois . Corigee en 1776 par M. Hawkins.‎

‎Paris: Le Rouge 1777. Engraved map hand-coloured in outline on 8 sheets individual sheets: 27 1/4 x 21 inches if joined would form a single large sheet 59 x 79 inches with large allegorical cartouche and inset map of Hudson's Bay and Labrador. Good condition small repaired tear. Housed in a red morocco backed box. A fine example of a French edition of Mitchell's monumental mapping of Colonial America a scarce issue published during the American Revolution.<br/> <br/>"John Mitchell was not a mapmaker by profession rather he was a medical doctor natural philosopher and botanist of considerable merit. Yet his sole cartographic endeavor.was perhaps the greatest produced in the history of America" Degrees of Latitude. Mitchell's Map of the British and French Dominions in North America is widely regarded as the most important map in American History. Prepared on the eve of the French & Indian War it was the second large format map of North America printed by the British and included the best up to date information on the region. Over the next century it would play a significant role in the resolution of every significant boundary dispute involving the northern border of the then British Colonies and later the United States. It was also the map-of-record at the birth of the United States and continued in this role through several decades in the early life of the country. John Mitchell a respected British physician botanist chemist biologist and surveyor lived for a time in Virginia but returned to England in 1746 where he remained. Mitchell initially conceived of his map of North America as the best method of presenting to the British public in a single large format image of all the colonies the extent of the French threat to the British claims in North America. Mitchell completed his first draft of the map in 1750. However because he was limited to publicly available sources of information this initial effort was rather crude even in Mitchell's own opinion. But word of Mitchell's work spread and the Board of Trade and Plantations retained Mitchell to make a new map using the official manuscript and printed maps and reports in the Board's possession including maps by Fry and Jefferson Christopher Gist George Washington John Barnwell and others. The Board also instructed all the colonial governors to send detailed maps and boundary information for Mitchell's use. Mitchell's map was first published by Andrew Millar in 1755 the year before war broke out with the French. The map is decidedly pro-English in its interpretation of the various boundaries and geographical information depicted on the map as would be expected for what amounted to thinly veiled pre-war propaganda. In addition to the geographical detail shown on the map Mitchell included many annotations describing the extent of British and French settlements. He also submitted a report to the Board in 1752 listing the French encroachments and his ideas of ways to encourage British settlement west of the Appalachian Mountains as a means of combating French influence in the region. Mitchell's map shows the British Colonial claims of Virginia both Carolinas and Georgia extending beyond the Mississippi to the Pacific Ocean. In the West Mitchell's treatment of the lower Missouri is a vast improvement over earlier maps. Regarding the source of the Missouri Mitchell noted that the Missouri river was reckoned to run westward to the Mountains of New Mexico as far as the Ohio does eastward reflecting his belief in symmetrical geography. Mitchell correctly shows the northern branch of the Missouri to be the main branch of the river although his estimate of the latitude of the river's source is inaccurate. Nonetheless the information Mitchell's map provided led Meriwether Lewis to explore the Marias River to determine the northern reaches of the Missouri River basin. The present French edition appeared in 1777 within Le Rouge's Atlas Ameriquain Septentrional. Le Rouge had first published an edition of the Mitchell map in 1756. The speed with which Le Rouge produced a full-size copy of Mitchell's original is an indication of how important the 1755 map was considered at the time. War in the region meant that consistent reliable cartographic intelligence was vital. Both the English and French versions went through a number of subsequent editions well into the 1770s. Mitchell's map went on to become the primary political treaty map in American history. Regarded by many authorities as the most important map in the history of American cartography twenty-one variant states and editions of the map appeared between 1755 and 1781.<br/> <br/>McCorkle 777.15; Ristow A La Carte p. 112; Tooley p 124; Moreland & Bannister p. 171-2.; Cf.

‎THE LAST AMERICAN: A FRAGMENT FROM THE JOURNAL OF KHAN-LI PRINCE OF DIMPH-YOO-CHUR AND ADMIRAL IN THE PERSIAN NAVY EDITED BY J. A. MITCHELL‎

‎New York: Frederick A. Stokes & Brother 1889. Octavo pp. 1-7 8-78 79-80: blank note: last leaf is a blank the illustrations uncredited in this edition are by Mitchell original pictorial dark blue cloth front panel stamped in black white and gold. First edition. Mitchell's third book preceded by a work of nonfiction and THE ROMANCE OF THE MOON 1886 a children's fantasy. THE LAST AMERICAN is a short clever inversion of the lost race tale just then gaining popularity the lost race in this case being the Mehrikan people. We see America through the eyes of an admiral in the Persian navy about 1100 years in the future as an exploring party wanders through the ruins of New York City and Washington D. C. where the detachment encounters and kills the three last Americans. Mitchell's point aside from amusement seems to be the danger of unrestricted immigration which he indicates was the basic cause of America's downfall in the late twentieth century. Ultimately American civilization is destroyed by a catastrophic change of climate and this satire is significant as being one of the earliest SF stories to utilize the catastrophe motif.
