Corbin, Jacques [George Washington]
Le Code Louis XIII. Roy De France Et De Navarre. From the Library of George Washington.
A Paris: Chez Pierre Billaine 1628. First edition of Corbin's legal compilation of ordinances and judgments issued during the reign of Louis XIII of France from the library of General George Washington. Folio bound in full mottled calf morocco spine label lettered in gilt elaborate gilt tooling to the spine in six compartments within raised gilt bands double gilt ruling and scrolling to the front and rear panels gilt turn-ins and inner denelles marbled endpapers title page printed in red and black engraved vignette to the title page illustrated with numerous wood-engraved initials and headpieces. From the library of General George Washington with a notation to the title page "Formerly the property of Gen. Washington" and subsequently the Library of the New York Law Institute Special Collections early notation on title-page near gutter stamps. According to the Mount Vernon Library George Washington signed many books in his library in the upper corner of the title-page but not all of his books have signatures or bookplates. Upon Washington's death his library was left to his nephew Bushrod Washington. When Bushrod died the books and papers were passed to Bushrod's two nephews George Corbin Washington and John Augustine Washington II. In 1834 George Corbin sold the presidential papers and military focused books to the US government becoming part of the Library of Congress. In 1847 George Corbin sold 359 of Washington's remaining books to the rare book dealer Henry Stevens who sold the collection to the Boston Athenaeum. The other half of the original library inherited by John Augustine passed to his son in 1832 who later sold the nearly 300-volume collection at auction in 1876 scattering it to various private collectors and institutions. Corbin's compilation of the ordinances of Louis XIII of France was significant in the development of French legal literature and served as a valuable resource for understanding the legal context of early 17th-century France. Title page laid down. In very good condition. Rare and desirable. Books from Washington's library rarely come to market. Chez Pierre Billaine unknown

Cornwell, Patricia
The Body Farm
NY: Charles Scribner's Sons. As New in As New dust jacket. 1994. Second Edition. 1. Hard Cover. 0684195976 . Signed by the Patricia Cornwell. Quarter bound in publisher's black cloth of cream cloth boards orange gilt lettering on spine. Cornwell Body of Evidence ; All That Remains casts a wider surer narrative net in the latest case set for her increasingly complex heroine Kay Scarpetta Chief Medical Examiner for the Commonwealth of Virginia. As an FBI consultant Scarpetta investigates the North Carolina murder of 11-year-old Emily Steiner whose mutilation suggests the M.O. of an escaped killer met previously in Cruel and Unusual. Forensic clues from the body's second autopsy prompt Scarpetta to request that certain experiments be made at the University of Tennessee's Decay Research Facility known as the Body Farm. Meanwhile she Pete Marino of the Richmond Va. police and her new love interest FBI Unit Chief Benton Wesley investigate the apparent suicide from autoerotic asphyxiation of the local FBI agent in charge of the case. Then Scarpetta's computer-whiz niece Lucy working at FBI headquarters at Quantico is charged with violating security. During her travels between North Carolina and Virginia Scarpetta worries about both the less-than-forthcoming Lucy and Marino who becomes emotionally entangled with Emily's beautiful stricken mother. Results at the Body Farm lead her to a convincing if abrupt resolution. Deeper characterization and a more intricate plot mark this fifth in a consistently compelling series. . Both the volume and the unclipped dust jacket are in perfect unmarked condition. AS NEW/AS NEW. Kay Scarpetta Mysteries Series. Vol. 5. 8vo 8" - 9" tall. 320 pp. Signed by Author .

CORPORAL F STANLEY, RAMC R A M C
1909 ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT JOURNAL DETAILING A BRITISH LEGATION MISSION TO MEET THE SULTAN OF MOROCCO
GIBRALTAR TANGIERS FEZ MOROCCO. Very Good. 1909. On offer is a simply sensational seventeen 17 page handwritten original journal detailing a British Legation mission of some importance to meet with the Sultan of Morocco in 1909. This 100 year old coverless folio sized journal is an account of a political mission most likely from April 19 1909 to December 1909. Historians and collectors of the World War I era and the history running up to the 'Great War' and of North Africa will acknowledge this was a critical period of Moroccan history when European countries were trying to influence Morocco. One online source claims: "The first years of the 20th century witnessed a rush of diplomatic maneuvering through which the European powers and France in particular furthered their interests in North Africa. Disputes over Moroccan sovereignty were links in the chain of events that led to World War I." In a strong neat hand our author Corporal Stanley R.A.M.C. Medical Orderly reports just such a mission and he begins with a list of all the members of the mission; the Minister the Hon. R. Lister a Doctor Major C.E.P. Fowler Military Attache Colonel Count Albert Edward Wilfred Gleichen who appears to have published Journal of our Mission to Fez 1909 By the Military Attaché London: Harrison & Sons 1909 and a number of other WWI related books that may very well have come from this manuscript or his own parallel journal wives secretaries attaches valets/grooms etc. This is an absolutely stunning record of the trip with the commentary beginning on Gibraltar then on to Tangiers and then Fez. Along the way Stanley notes many mishaps of early exotic travel; wild camel attack causing multiple injuries and a broken leg insurgent attacks shootings deserters storms visiting royalty . Living in tents and traveling across deserts this is very well written by an intelligent keen observer and in many ways typical British soldier and citizen who has a great handle on the written language of the day. Some of the super commentary includes Corp. Stanley's description of a presentation of gifts to the Sultan wherein the Minister gifted the Sultan a beautiful gold Bulldog statue. In return the Sultan gifts a moth eaten camel blanket a rogue stallion that was returned due to its wildness and further embarrassed the company by not giving the traditional gift of a curved silver knife to all members. The Corporal's disdain for the event drips from the page. This is fascinating relic of British colonial times and the global politics pre World War I.

CORPORAL JOSEPH ENGELHARDT, Anti-Tank Co
1943 PERSONAL HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT BATTLE DIARY OF AN AMERICAN INFANTRYMAN
North Africa Italy Europe. Fair. 1943. Corporal Joseph Engelhardt scrupulously writes over 55 pages in an address book converted into a diary full from A - L of his journey from North Africa to Italy in the late summer of 1943 through to June of 1944. Battles troop movements anectodal observations and much more. Engelhardt is a keen observer and exhibits a fair bit of charm as he shares his thoughts and opinions. This is a down to earth yet cocky and brassy the young man is writing from a grunt's eye view; a soldier of the 34th Infantry Division 168th Infantry Regiment the famed "Red Bull" and "Deset Bull" divisions that helped beat the Germans in North Africa and opened the door for the invasion of Italy that this very same soldier took part in. The regimental motto is 'ATTACK ATTACK ATTACK'. This diary begins with his account of North Africa time in Oran and then onto Italy. He writes of his pals killed in action the wounded and he suffers wounds too. In a very moving passage he makes a note to himself to write 'Nana' but not to tell her he is in the hospital again. He also writes of personal matters; girls back home girls in Europe. In one personal passage he writes of receiving a letter from a girlfriend - "Got a letter from June which I didn't go for. She isn't going to tie me down to unhappiness after what I've been through!!" Stunning to consider this man's placement in World War II history and that he so carefully wrote of his times thoughts and adventures. I'll quote from his last charming entry; June 1944 "Everything set to leave. Still awaiting on furlong papers. Am I on edge!! Damn this waiting!!" Condition wise the book's exterior has been repaired with tape along the spine. The cover is just holding together and though the pages are very clean and legible there are some loose pages but all attached and present.; Manuscript; 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH DIARY JOURNAL LOG KEEPSAKE WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS DIARIES JOURNALS LOGS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL PERSONAL HISTORY AMERICANA WORLD WAR II WW II NORTH AFRICA ITALY ITALIAN CAMPAIGN SALERNO ARTILLERY INFANTRY RED BULL DESERT WARFARE ROMMEL DESERT RATS INFANTRY TANK ARMOR . unknown
