‎Experiments of Spiritual Life and Health and Their Preservatives‎

‎Providence: Sidney S. Rider 1863. In fragile condition. An 1863 reprint of the 1652 book. Originally printed in London February 1652. Complete Title is: "Experiments of Spiritual Life & Health and their Preservatives in which the weakest child of God may get assurance of his spiritual life and blessednesse and the strongest may find proportionable discoveries of his Christian growth and the means of it. By Roger Williams of Providence in New England." The title page is a reproduction from 1652. This 1863 reproduction is faithful to the original with the typeface of the period substituting the letter "F" for "S" and using what is now less conventional spelling. This was a limited edition reprinting of 500 copies. Roger Williams 1603-1683 was a religious reformer maverick and perhaps the first supporter of Native American rights. He is also credited as being the first in the American colonies to attempt to prohibit slavery. Williams was one of the founders of Providence Plantations in 1636 now known as the state of Rhode Island. Williams emigrated from England to Boston Massachusetts in 1631. After fleeing the Puritan Colony among many religious issues he also disapproved of the Puritans not buying the land in Plymouth from the Native Americans Williams purchased land from the Native American tribes to found the colony of Providence Plantations. Williams is of course well known for promulgating the concept of separation of church and state. He was also the founder of the American Baptist Church. The introduction in this volume is attributed to F.W. believed to be Francis Wayland and dated Providence Rhode Island December 1st 1832. Francis Wayland 1796 - 1865 was president of Brown University in Providence Rhode Island when he wrote this introduction. He served as president of Brown for almost 30 years. He was a Baptist minister and after he resigned the presidency of Brown he was pastor of the First Baptist Church in America also located in Providence. In 1835 town meeting members voted to rename East Sudbury Massachusetts "Wayland" in honor of Francis Wayland. In 1851 Francis Wayland donated money to the town to establish a public library one of the first free public libraries in the United States. Wide 8vo size volume is 59 pages with tanning to pages and foxing on some pages. Disbound covers with some detached pages in the front of the book including the title page and the first page of the introduction; pages i and ii are disbound but joined together page iii is disbound. The binding is fragile. Very thin boards. Penciled prince on cover. Inscription penciled prices or numbers on fep and penciled number and probably original bookseller's sticker on title page. Some minor chipping to page corners and margins. Most lower corners are chipped. Tanned inside covers. Family historians: the name in the book is Henry T. Drowne a gift from H Brown.

‎U.S. General Officer Pistols A Collectors' Guide‎

‎Williamstown New Jersey: Phillips Publications 2015. Signed and dated by co-auhor John W. Brunner directly on the blank page opposite the title his signature and "1/17/15" only NOT personalized to anyone. Fine condition in a Very Good dust jacket only light rubbing to the jacket. The jacket is protected by a removable Brodart clear-plastic sleeve. NOT price clipped $79.95. NO chips tears creases or fading. Sharp corners. NO owner's name or bookplate. NOT a remainder. Red silk ribbon page marker bound in at the head of the spine. Profusely illustrated many in beautiful full color. Bound in the original blue cloth stamped in bright silver. From the dust jacket: "The author's new book on General Officer pistols is a welcome volume to the collector and historian. The traditional badge of rank for officers was a sword. By WW-II the U.S. Army began issuing a small pocket pistol that was considered a 'badge of authority' rather than something they would have to use in combat. Although a .380 pistol may seem rather underpowered for military use General Patton did boast that he shot down a Nazi warplane in North Africa with his .380 pistol. There was a .50 caliber machine gun firing at the same plane at the same time! This issue continued until 1972 when all inventories were exhausted. A special belt gold buckle holster and magazine pouch were issued along with those Colt pistols. In 1972 Rock Island Arsenal began making a modified M1911 pistol which became the Model 15. These were the last .45 ACP caliber pistols issued. Prior to the adoption of the Beretta M9 there were 410 standard M1911A1 pistols issued to General Officers. The U.S. Navy and USMC did not issue special pistols to officers. In 1967 the U.S. Air Force began issuing Smith & Wesson Model 39 pistols to flag rank officers. This volume gathers in one place all the known serial numbers of General Officer pistols. The value of these pistols is worth several times that of its civilian counterpart." Oversize Hardcover. 8.75" wide by 11.25" tall. This large heavy book will require extra postage for International shipments but only the standard charge for priority or media mail. Signed by John W.

‎Daniël Willinks Amsterdamsche Tempe of de Nieuwe Plantagie. Begrepen in twee boeken. Nevens den Amstelstroom. Met kopere platen. De tweede druk.‎

‎Amsterdam Te Amsterdam By Andries van Damme Boekverkoper op 't Rokin bezuyden de Beurs 1721. 8vo. XL1271 blankXII36 p. frontispiece 3 engraved plates and 2 text engravings. Vellum 19 cm Ref: STCN p.p. 171375564 Details: Nice copy; 5 thongs laced through both joints. Frontispiece designed executed and explained by J. Goeree; it shows several allegorical figures in a bucolic landscape de Nieuwe Plantage; in the foreground sits 'Dichtkonst' Poetry listening to 'Zeede-leer' Ethica a woman who holds a bridled lion: 'Die Wyze Leermeestres die Leeuwen fel en wreedt / Door haare lessen temt en zacht te leyden weet / En hunnen woesten aart voorzigtig in kan tomen'; p. A1 verso on a pedestal in the center of the frontispiece rests the rivergod Amstel surrounded by a host of merry putti; in the distance we get a glimpse of the Muiderpoort. The other 3 plates are designed by A. Houbraken. The first shows the personification of wealthy Amsterdam steedemaagd in the background again the Plantage and the Muiderpoort. The second plate depicts 'Dichtkonst' and some putti. The third is an engraving of the rivergod Amstel in a bucolic polder-scene south of the city. After the title page there is a 3 page dedication with the engraved coat of arms of the Mayor of Amsterdam Mr. Jan de Witt. At the beginning of the second work the 'Amstelstroom' one finds the coat of arms of Willem Noltenius. On the title a printer's mark engraved by J. Goeree it depicts putti playing a game of checkers the motto reads: 'Let eerje zet' Condition: Vellum age-toned. Small bookplate on the front pastedown. Paper slightly yellowing Note: The Amsterdam wine merchant Daniël Willink 1676 - 1722 was in his sparetime a local historian and poet. He became a member of the Poetry Society 'Constantia et Labore'. A great poet he was not and he is only remembered for his poetry on the city of Amsterdam in which he praises its beauty. These poems based on his historical investigations are still of interest. His oldest poem is the 'Amstelstroom' which was first published in 1708. Its second revised and augmented 1/3 edition was combined with the first edition of 'Amsterdamsche Tempe of Nieuwe Plantagie' of 1712 of which this book of 1721 is a reissue. Willink's best known poem 'Amsterdamsch Buitensingel' was published posthumely in 1723. His interesting historical investigations appeared under the title 'Amstellandsche Arkadia' only in 1737. The history of Amsterdam and its surroundings is told here as a kind of travel story. NNBW 41463/65 § The 'Amsterdamsche Tempe' sings the praises of a so-called 'locus amoenus' in this case the 'Planatagie' which is presented as an idealized place of safety and comfort. There are trees schoon bosschaadge there is grass lustprieël and water zilvren vliet. It is a place of refuge that highlights the differences between urban and rural life. 'Zo even doet ook de Ambachtsman/ Die hier komt treeden zonder kommer/ Daar ieder 't zweet opdroogen kan/ Gedekt door deeze groene lommer/ Waar onder hy het zuur vergeet/ Der weeken waar in hy moet werken / En troost zich hier in dat men weet/ Dat Godt den arbeid kan versterken'. p. 9 The prose preface to 'Amsterdamsche Tempe' opens thus: 'De Nieuwe Plantagie een wellustige streek lands in den omkring der wydberoemde Stad Amsterdam geleegen in het Jaar 1682. begonnen aangelegt bebouwt bepoot en beplant te worden sedert krachtig toegenoomen in allerlei soorten van in- en uitheemsche boom-bloem-en plantgewassen koomt u hier bescheiden Leezer in twee boeken verdeelt te vooren; waar van het eerste eene beschryvinge der plaatse zelve met haare rondomleggende gezigten bevat en het tweede 't geene nut en sierlyk binnen de hoven gevonden wordt nevens het zoet vermaak en de aangenaame tydkortinge van ieder jaarsaizoen'. p. 5 verso § The 'Plantagebuurt' Plantage-district a polder which came within the walls of Amsterdam with the city expansion of 1682/83 was created a park because it turned out to be impossible to find buyers who wanted to build their houses there. For two centuries this park or 'plantage' served as an entertainment district for the bourgeoisie. It included the city's 'Hortus Botanicus' and from 1838 the Zoo commonly called 'Artis'. From 1860 onward the park was transformed into a housing-area an area which still is green and still popular among the bourgeois. It attracts tourists from all over the world to visit the Hortus and the Zoo Collation: -28 including frontispiece 34; A-H8 leaf H8 verso blank; 2A-C8 Plates before the leaves A1 E1 and 2A1 Photographs on request hardcover‎
