The English Scots and Irish all have fun poked at them with stock characters of English yeomen in smocks Irishmen in rags wielding shillelagh clearly a reference to the famine then raging in Ireland and Scots with tammies and tartan plaid. Each plate is subjoined with a title and humorous descriptive text:=- 'Une femme bien attachée;' 'Le Quaker;' 'Le Recruteur;' 'Visite au Musée;' 'Mariage d'inclination;' 'Les Hauts grades;' 'Philanthropie. Bien entendue' 'Les Boxeurs;' 'l'Écossais;' 'Un Costume national;' 'Baragouin Britannique;' 'In the Stocks;' 'Le Péage du turn-pike;' 'L'Invalide de Chelsea;' and 'Smithfied Market.'.</p><p>The prolific French illustrator Amédée de Noé 1819-1879 produced a number of similar themed works including an idiosyncratic look at the Great Exhibition of 1851 and a series of pamphlets depicting French life dating from the late 1860's. Noé who used the nom de plume Cham i.e Ham the son of Noah was said to have an idea a day contributing much of his best work like Daumier to the <i>Le Charivari</i>. </p><p>OCLC lists copies at the V&A Getty UCLA Texas and the Morgan all curiously mis-dated to 1870 and unascribed to Noé; and a copy at Fribourg.</p> Chez Aubert & Cie.

[Webster, Noah? Van Ness, William Peter?]
A LETTER TO THE SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY ON THE COMMERCE AND CURRENCY OF THE UNITED STATES. BY ARISTIDES
New-York: Printed by C.S. Van Winkle 1819. 39 1 blank pp. Disbound wrapper remnants in inner margins of first and last page. Light soil Good. <br /> <br /> This pamphlet advocates in response to the Panic of 1819 "two restrictions on banks: first they may discount no 'accommodation paper' i.e. simple loans that were not self-liquidating in the course of active trade; and second that they grant no renewals of loans." The absence of such restrictions the author argues encouraged excessive speculations and brought about the depression. See Rothbard 'The Panic of 1819' page 132 1962. As evidence Aristides cites the "wild enthusiasm" which characterized resumption of commerce after the 1815 Treaty of Ghent and the resulting extensions of credit "to the utmost limit." <br /> Authorship has been variously attributed to Webster and Van Ness. Skeel doubts Webster's hand. "Among other reasons she states that the Letter does not seem to be written in his style and that she finds no allusion to it in his letters. The pamphlet has also been ascribed to William P. Van Ness another who used the pseudonym 'Aristides.'" <br /> Sabin. <br /> AI 49978 4. Sabin 102364. See Skeel page 563 note 12. Printed by C.S.

THE PROMPTER: OR A COMMENTARY ON COMMON SAYINGS AND SUBJECTS; WHICH ARE FULL OF COMMON SENSE THE BEST SENSE IN THE WORLD
Philadelphia: Printed by Matthew Carey 1796. 165 x 102 mm. 6 1/2 x 4". 95 pp. <br/> Late 19th century brown half roan over marbled boards smooth spine divided into panels by gilt fillets each with gilt daisy red morocco label marbled endpapers. Sabin 102386; Evans 31599; ESTC W28973. Very light rubbing to joints and extremities mild foxing throughout but unusually clean and bright for a book printed on 18th century American paper and in a convincing retrospective binding showing almost no wear.<br/> <br/> This is a very pleasing copy of a work that demonstrates an important early American lexicographer's philosophy toward the impact of language. After graduating from Yale and briefly studying law Noah Webster 1758-1843 established an elementary school and discovered the need for spelling and grammar books in the new country. According to ANB "Webster believed that the new nation needed a feeling of identity a consciousness of self that bound it together and distinguished it from others. Not surprisingly Webster concluded that this revolution of mind and heart should begin with children and with the acquisition of books that would reflect the American language culture and history." He produced textbooks on spelling and grammar as well as his famous dictionary a book PMM tells us "marked a definite advance in modern lexicography." In the present work Webster goes beyond the words themselves into a concern with their usage telling us in the preface that he is attempting "to find the method of writing calculated to do the most general good" in society. The author serves as "prompter" giving lines to "the numerous actors upon the great theatre of life"--that is providing discussion on "common sayings" to help improve writers and by extension the "world at large." "The Prompter" was published anonymously in Hartford Connecticut in 1791 and enjoyed considerable popularity in New England well into the 19th century. Webster revealed his authorship in a 1796 advertisement in the federalist newspaper "American Minerva" which he had helped to found and edited from 1793-98. Our copy in a pleasing replica binding and quite fine condition internally is particularly appealing since many copies that have appeared on the market are in the condition expected of a book meant for the schoolroom.

A Solemn Review of the Custom of War; Showing that War is the Effect of Popular Delusion and Proposing a Remedy…
Pamphlet 8vo removed disbound 35 pp. Mostly disbound a bit soiled folds and creases at edges ink smudge on title aging and toning throughout. Noah Worcester 1758-1837 was born in New Hampshire and would become a noted a clergyman. He published several important tracts on religious subjects and appears to have had some unorthodox views of the holy trinity and published a few articles on the subject. However around the time of the War of 1812 Worcester reflected on the effects of war and became a pacifist. In 1814 he first published his "A Solemn Review of the Custom of War" which would continue in several other editions. In this work he argued that the violence and destruction of war was inconsistent with Christian values. He would found the Massachusetts Peace Society and this group would be in the forefront of a rather popular antiwar movement that emerged in America around the time of the War of 1812. ANB. OCLC. A.

A Wanderer [Johnson, Noah]
Journals of Two Cruises Aboard The American Privateer YANKEE
New York: The Macmillan Company 1967. First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Good. DJ is price clipped. DJ has some wear and soiling. Includes Introduction by Admiral E. M. Eller Director of Naval History. Editor's Note Journal of the First Cruise and Journal of the Second Cruise. Also includes 9 illustrations including two maps. The Journals of Two Cruises Aboard the Privateer Yankee are an exciting historical find. Written by a young ardently romantic ship's clerk who signs himself "A Wanderer" they record the heady adventures of the American privateer Yankee on her first two voyages during the War of 1812. Only recently discovered among the possessions of a New England family they are printed here for the first time. The author was listed on the Yankee manifest as Noah Jones but in all probability his real name was Noah Johnson according to descendants. These historic journals bring vividly to life sea voyages that epitomized Yankee daring and skill dedication to freedom and Christian charity in dealing with conquered enemies. What life was like aboard a privateer and how these warships were manned sailed and deployed against the enemy is nowhere better illustrated than in these superb firsthand accounts. The private fleet of James De Wolf which sailed under the flag of the American government in 1812 was most likely a key factor in the naval campaign of the war. De Wolf's ship the Yankee was possibly the most financially successful ship of the war. Privateers proved to be successful than their US Navy counterparts claiming three-quarters of the 1600 British merchant ships taken during the war although a third of these were recaptured prior to making landfall. A privateer is a private person or ship that engages in maritime warfare under a commission of war. Since robbery under arms was a common aspect of seaborne trade until the early 19th century all merchant ships carried arms. A sovereign or delegated authority issued commissions also referred to as a letter of marque during wartime. The commission empowered the holder to carry on all forms of hostility permissible at sea by the usages of war. This included attacking foreign vessels and taking them as prizes and taking prize crews as prisoners for exchange. Captured ships were subject to condemnation and sale under prize law with the proceeds divided by percentage between the privateer's sponsors shipowners captains and crew. A percentage share usually went to the issuer of the commission i.e. the sovereign. Privateering allowed sovereigns to raise revenue for war by mobilizing privately owned armed ships and sailors to supplement state power. For participants privateering provided the potential for a greater income and profit than obtainable as a merchant seafarer or fisher. However this incentive increased the risk of privateers turning to piracy when war ended. The commission usually protected privateers from accusations of piracy but in practice the historical legality and status of privateers could be vague. It took 150 years for this journal to make it to print but when it did it allowed the world's greatest military power to look back at a time when its European counterparts controlled the seas. The Journals of Two Cruises aboard the American Privateer "Yankee" in the War of 1812 reflects a time when The United States had practically no navy when British outrages on the high seas notably the impressment of American sailors led the two nations to war. The British controlled the seas and America was virtually helpless to defend itself from ocean-based attacks. President Madison turned to America's merchant and other ships for help. Private ships were authorized to engage in "privateering" a polite word for legalized piracy. These privateers were able to harass British shipping in a manner similar to the way the Royal Navy was able to disrupt American shipping. This journal of life on board the "Yankee" sailing out of Bristol Rhode Island gives an inside view of life on a privateering ship during America's first war. The Macmillan Company hardcover

Noah Adams on "All Things Considered"; A Radio Journal
New York: W. W. Norton & Company 1992. First Edition Stated First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. 332 4 pages. Foreword by Susan Stamberg Inscribed on the half-title page by the author. Inscription reads For Lynn Fondly Noah October 1 1992 Washington. Noah Adams is an American broadcast journalist and author known primarily since 1987 from National Public Radio. A former co-host of the daily All Things Considered program Adams has also been a contributing correspondent at the network's National Desk. His books tend to document a full year in his life specifically as that year relates to a particular passion or research project. He wrote and narrated a documentary called Father Cares: The Last of Jonestown in 1981 which earned him the Prix Italia the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award and the Major Armstrong Award. Adams was the host of the nationally syndicated Minnesota Public Radio variety show Good Evening created in 1987 to replace A Prairie Home Companion after that show left the air. The host of National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" provides a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of this landmark radio show; the team of reporters announcers and technicians that work on the show; and anecdotes about key programs. All Things Considered ATC is the flagship news program on the American network National Public Radio NPR. It was the first news program on NPR premiering on May 3 1971. It is broadcast live on NPR affiliated stations in the United States and worldwide through several different outlets formerly including the NPR Berlin station in Germany. All Things Considered and Morning Edition were the highest rated public radio programs in the United States in 2002 and 2005. The show combines news analysis commentary interviews and special features and its segments vary in length and style. ATC airs weekdays from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time live or Pacific Standard Time recorded with some updates; in Hawaii it airs as a fully recorded program or from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. A weekend version of ATC Weekend All Things Considered airs on Saturdays and Sundays. Major awards won by the show include the Ohio State Award the Peabody Award the Overseas Press Club Award the DuPont Award the American Women in Radio and Television Award and the Robert F. Kennedy Award. In 1993 the show was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame the first public radio program to be given that honor. In 2017 the first broadcast episode from 1971 of All Things Considered was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress. Recordings in the collection are considered "culturally historically or artistically significant." Derived from a Kirkus review: The story behind National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" stories. Adams longtime co-host for "All Things Considered" offers his journal for 1989--the year the Berlin Wall came down Communism began crumbling in Eastern Europe Tiananmen Square erupted and the Ayatollah died. To provide a firsthand feel for his job the author who develops many NPR stories on his own intersperses radio interviews with travel notes and entries from his personal diary. The author tells of his background--rock 'n' roll DJ; program director; sales manager--and his worst moment in radio: While announcing for a small station lightning struck the station's antenna putting the broadcast off the air for an hour--and no one called up to complain. Adams relates many interesting stories and his writing is strong and involving. W. W. Norton & Company hardcover

The Flyers In Search Of Wilbur And Orville Wright
New York: Crown Publishers a Division of Random House 2003. First Edition Stated First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. Neenah Ellis Author photograph. The format is approximately 5.75 inches by 8.5 inches. xiv 4 221 1 pages. Illustrations. Author's Note. Bibliography. Index. Signed by the author sticker on the front of the dust jacket. Inscribed by the author on the title page; inscription reads: "For Dick-- Noah Adams". Noah Adams is an American broadcast journalist and author known primarily since 1987 from National Public Radio. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Adams cohost of NPR's All Things Considered sets out to learn about the Wright Brothers their family and why they loved to fly so much. Adams visits all the spots important to the brothers from the Outer Banks of North Carolina where they flew gliders to France; Dayton Ohio; and New York. The most appealing part of the book is the look at the close relationship between Orville Wilbur and their sister Katherine. The three were devoted to one another and planned on living together. In fact when Katherine announced her plans to marry Orville was devastated and ended up not seeing his sister until she was on her deathbed years later. Adams uses letters and diaries to describe the lives of the Wrights; some of these details are not widely included in other books that focus on their inventions and accomplishments. Adams re-creates the travels of the Wrights. In the end he's a personable guide into the Wright Brothers' world offering a refreshing look at these aviation pioneers. "It takes only nineteen seconds to walk the distance of the first powered flight. But when I was there the wind was up and cold on my face and I felt as if I'd entered the black-and-white photograph I'd been seeing all my life. The sand is light gray there's a spill of surf in the distance. Wilbur running at the right of the plane and Orville the pilot are in dark suits. The propellers blur against the sky as the machine rises. . . ." So begins Noah Adams's adventure in search of Wilbur and Orville Wright a journey that takes him across the country as he follows in the footsteps of the famous brothers in an attempt to know them more deeply not just as inventors and pilots but as individuals as well. Adams one of our most distinctive and talented storytellers traveled thousands of miles and interviewed scores of experts and individuals to piece together his story. He finds a local boat captain to ferry him to Kitty Hawk along the same route that Wilbur took in 1900 and spends several days talking with descendants of the families who first welcomed the Wright brothers a century ago and helped them conduct their gliding experiments. To experience first-hand the thrill of being in the air Adams himself goes hang-gliding in the Outer Banks. To understand the aerodynamics of lift and drag and how the famous 1903 plane was constructed he visits Ken Hyde a Virginia pilot and vintage aircraft builder who is creating the world's most accurate reproduction of the 1903 Wright Flyer. Adams goes to the prop shop and handles the tools and materials that the Wrights used to build their gliders and planes and later he visits the wind tunnel at Langley Air Force Base where Hyde's reproduction was tested for the first time. He also travels to France to visit the old racetrack at Le Mans where Wilbur startled the European aviation community with his demonstration flights in 1908 and he spends a few days at Wisconsin's Oshkosh Fly-in where builders of experimental aircraft and owners of vintage planes gather every year to dazzle the crowds. Adams himself takes to the air in a restored Ford Tri-Motor America's first airliner which took its maiden flight seventy years ago. In Adams's book we encounter the Wright brothers in a way that no writer has introduced them before. Through the lens of his own experiences as well as original reporting letters diaries and other primary source material he helps us understand the talent and intensity of the brothers and their family including the fascinating deeply complex and at times tragic bond between Orville and Katharine his younger sister. The Flyers is a wonderfully rich narrative that brings an unprecedented spirit of immediacy to one of history's most dramatic stories. Crown Publishers [a Division of Random House] hardcover
