An English Officer'
Letters from Barbary & Co. Volume II.
<p>Navy calf spine with red and brown title plates gilt decoration and title. Blue and brown marbled boards and end papers.</p><p>Signed by the author Jardine Alexander this is a stand alone book full of individual historic letters. A First Edition of a second volume from a two volume set.</p><p>First edition. Jardine died. 1799 a Royal Artillery officer was for much of his career stationed in Gibraltar from where he conducted a mission to the sultan of Morocco Muhammad III in 1771; after the end of his active military career in 1776 he became a British agent in Spain. His Letters are "notable for their defence of sexual equality" ODNB which Jardine based on the profitable intermingling of the sexes which he observed on his travels: Jardine was a friend of William Godwin's and his book was read by Mary Wollstonecraft who reviewed it favorably in the fourth volume of the Analytical in 1789 O'Neill The Burke-Wollstonecraft Debate p. 116. It proved a demonstrable influence on her Vindication of the Rights of Women which was published in 1792 Chernock Men and the Making of Modern British Feminism p. 21 A very good copy.</p><p>CONTENTS OF THE SECOND VOLUME.

J.</p><p>Barbaria by Jan Janssonius shows the coast of North Africa an area known in the 17th century as Barbaria c. 1650</p><p>The Barbary pirates Barbary corsairs or Ottoman corsairs were mainly Muslim pirates and privateers who operated from the Barbary states. This area was known in Europe as the Barbary Coast in reference to the Berbers. The main purpose of their attacks was to capture slaves for the Barbary slave trade. Slaves in Barbary could be of many ethnicities and of many different religions such as Christian Jewish or Muslim. Their predation extended throughout the Mediterranean south along West Africa's Atlantic seaboard and into the North Atlantic as far north as Iceland but they primarily operated in the western Mediterranean. In addition to seizing merchant ships they engaged in razzias raids on European coastal towns and villages mainly in Italy France Spain and Portugal but also in the British Isles the Netherlands and Iceland.</p><p>An action between an English ship and vessels of the Barbary Corsairs</p><p>While such raids began after the Muslim conquest of the Iberian Peninsula in the 710s the terms "Barbary pirates" and "Barbary corsairs" are normally applied to the raiders active from the 16th century onwards when the frequency and range of the slavers' attacks increased. In that period Algiers Tunis and Tripoli came under the sovereignty of the Ottoman Empire either as directly administered provinces or as autonomous dependencies known as the Barbary states. Similar raids were undertaken from Salé and other ports in Morocco.</p><p>A Sea Fight with Barbary Corsairs by Laureys a Castro c. 1681</p><p><strong> Background:</strong> The Barbary corsairs were pirates and privateers who operated out of North Africa based primarily in the ports of Tunis Tripoli and Algiers. This area was known in Europe as the Barbary Coast in reference to the Berbers. Their predation extended throughout the Mediterranean south along West Africa's Atlantic seaboard and even to the eastern coast of South America with Brazil and into the North Atlantic Ocean as far north as Iceland but they primarily operated in the western Mediterranean. In addition to seizing ships they engaged in raids on European coastal towns and villages mainly in Italy France Spain and Portugal but also in England Scotland the Netherlands Ireland and as far away as Iceland. The main purpose of their attacks was to capture Europeans for the slave market in North Africa. The Barbary states were nominally part of the Ottoman Empire but in practice they were independent and the Ottoman government in Constantinople was not involved. Attacks:Since the 1600s the Barbary pirates had attacked British shipping along the North Coast of Africa holding captives for ransom or enslaving them. Ransoms were generally raised by families and local church groups. The British became familiar with captivity narratives written by Barbary pirates' prisoners and slaves. During the American Revolutionary War the pirates attacked American ships. On December 20 1777 Morocco's sultan Mohammed III declared that merchant ships of the new American nation would be under the protection of the sultanate and could thus enjoy safe passage into the Mediterranean and along the coast. The Moroccan-American Treaty of Friendship stands as America's oldest unbroken friendship treaty with a foreign power. In 1787 Morocco became one of the first nations to recognize the United States of America. Starting in the 1780s realizing that American vessels were no longer under the protection of the British navy the Barbary pirates had started seizing American ships in the Mediterranean. As the U.S. had disbanded its Continental Navy and had no seagoing military force its government agreed in 1786 to pay tribute to stop the attacks. On March 20 1794 at the urging of President George Washington Congress voted to authorize the building of six heavy frigates and establish the United States Navy in order to stop these attacks and demands for more and more money. The United States had signed treaties with all of the Barbary states after its independence was recognized between 1786 and 1794 to pay tribute in exchange for leaving American merchantmen alone and by 1797 the United States had paid out $1.25 million or a fifth of the government's annual budget then in tribute. These demands for tribute had imposed a heavy financial drain and by 1799 the U.S. was in arrears of $140000 to Algiers and some $150000 to Tripoli. Many Americans resented these payments arguing that the money would be better spent on a navy that would protect American ships from the attacks of the Barbary pirates and in the 1800 Presidential Election Thomas Jefferson won against incumbent second President John Adams in part by noting that the United States was "subjected to the spoliations of foreign cruisers" and was humiliated by paying "an enormous tribute to the petty tyrant of Algiers".</p> T Cadell. hardcover

(HERBALS, ENGLISH). HILL, SIR JOHN
THE FAMILY HERBAL
Bungay: C. Brightly and Co. and T. Kinnersley 1812. Sixth Edition. 215 x 133 mm. 8 1/2 x 5 1/4". viii xl 376 pp. <br/> Sympathetic light speckled half calf over marbled paper boards raised bands red and black morocco labels. With 54 hand-colored plates including frontispiece illustrating plants discussed in the text. A couple of ink corrections in a contemporary hand. Johnston 760. Variable foxing with perhaps a fourth of the text noticeably foxed but the plates almost entirely unaffected a few stains to the gutter from pressed flowers now absent other trivial defects but a perfectly readable copy with quite attractive plates in a pleasing virtually unworn retrospective binding.<br/> <br/> First published as "The Useful Family Herbal" in 1764 this popular work provides a description of British plants helpful for at-home remedies. The highlight of the volume is the well-drawn and richly colored plates which Nissen tells us were drawn by the important natural history illustrator Sydenham Edwards 1769-1819 whose work DNB describes as "among the best scientific illustrations of the day." Hill 1716-75 was a perplexingly self-destructive personality who nevertheless managed to produce useful books. He was a surgeon an unsuccessful actor and an apothecary who made considerable money selling quack medicines; he published several books including some botanical works of substantial value like the present one and a steady series of usually abusive periodicals; he was constantly scheming to make money and to raise his reputation above its rightful altitude; and he was always embroiled in controversies because of his ungovernable proclivity toward impertinence and derision as well as his overweening vanity. This last quality together with Hill's direct attacks on Garrick and his friends prompted the latter's memorable epigram reflecting the doctor/actor's reputation among his detractors: "For physic and farces his equal there scarce is:/ His farces are physic his physic a farce is." After publishing some not insignificant scientific writings including a supplement to Chambers' "Dictionary" Hill tried to obtain admission to the Royal Society but his unprincipled character blocked any hope of membership. Despite his reputation "The Family Herbal" offered here in its sixth edition was obviously viewed as serious and significant enough to be reprinted a half century and later after its first appearance.

(BINDINGS - FRANKLIN MOWERY). (GOLDEN COCKEREL PRESS). JONES, DAVID, Illustrator BIBLE IN ENGLISH
BOOK OF JONAH
Waltham St. Lawrence: Golden Cockerel Press 1926. No. 48 OF CLXXV COPIES. 258 x 195 mm. 10 1/4 x 7 3/4". 15 3 pp. <br/> Understated black crushed morocco by J. Franklin Mowery stamp-signed "JFM 94" on rear turn-in wraparound design of blind-stamped L-shaped panels of intersecting lines smooth spine with vertical gilt lettering leather hinges edges untrimmed. Original illustrated upper cover of dust jacket repaired at one corner bound in at rear. In a matching morocco-lipped slipcase. Title page with large woodcut of the risen Christ four large vignettes in the text four pictorial half borders and four full-page woodcuts all by David Jones printer's device in colophon. Front pastedown with bookplate of Jan van der Marck. Chanticleer 40. A pristine copy.<br/> <br/> This is a wonderfully--if understatedly--bound copy of one of the most strictly limited Golden Cockerel Press productions. The binding is the work of J. Franklin Mowery retired Head of Conservation at the Folger Shakespeare Library and past president of the Guild of Book Workers. Mowery studied bookbinding under Professor Kurt Londenberg at the Staatliche Hochschule für bildende Künste Academy of Art in Hamburg and trained as a paper conservator under Otto Wächter in Vienna before returning to the U.S. to work at the Huntington Library. According to his article "A Binder's Training" Guild of Book Workers' Journal XX 1981-82 the blind-stamping technique seen here was "particularly favored by Professor Londenberg" and often employed by Mowery for the range of design possibilities it offers. The method uses dies to stamp the patterns: "a photographic process can transfer any black and white image onto zinc plates that are deeply etched and mounted onto type-high metal blocks for heated impressions or onto wood for cold embossing." Mowery stated that lines of the design here represent the driving rain of the storm that struck Jonah's ship. Founded in 1920 with the intention to print fine editions of important well-known books as well as new literary works of merit from young authors the Golden Cockerel Press was purchased in 1924 by the illustrator and wood-engraver Robert Gibbings. "Under his direction" says Cave the Press was "transformed into the principal vehicle for the renaissance of wood-engraved book illustration that took place in the years between the wars." In addition to doing wood engravings himself Gibbings employed a stable of eminent artists including among others Eric Gill Blair Hughes-Stanton John Nash John Farleigh Eric Ravilious and David Jones. The memorable woodcuts are the work of Jones 1895-1974 who had a brief but impressive career as an illustrator before eye strain forced him to abandon engraving in 1930. In his published study of Jones' work Douglas Cleverdon says that in the short time Jones was engraving "he produced a remarkable amount of work of great variety; some witty some mystical; some boldly cut some delicately shaded; some simple to print some virtually impossible. Although he never attained . . . the greatest technical mastery in the conventional sense his prints are nearly always distinguished by their excellence of design personal commitment and absolute individuality." Our binding was commissioned by collector and self-described "radical" museum administrator Jan van der Marck 1929-2010 who championed artists that pushed boundaries--often to the consternation of the museum boards who employed him.

Contemporary English and American Newspapers, 1877-1917; John T Morse, Jr; PJ Bok; Hon John Lothrop Motley (1814 -1877), subjec
An archive of original printings of obituaries. tributes and biographies of Ambassador. author and diplomat John Lothrop Motley 1814 -1877. First editions
New York: Boston London: Major newspapers and reviews 1877-1917. A Collection of original printings of obituaries. tributes and biographies of Ambassador John Lothrop Motley 1814 -1877. Mounted on 14 ledger sheets 31 x 42cm. .Ambassador John Lothrop Motley April 15 1814 – May 29 1877 was an American author and diplomat. As a popular historian he is best known for his works on the Netherlands the three volume work The Rise of the Dutch Republic and four volume History of the United Netherlands. As United States Minister to Austria in the service of the Abraham Lincoln administration Motley helped to prevent European intervention on the side of the Confederates in the American Civil War. He later served as Minister to the United Kingdom Court of St. James during the Ulysses S. Grant administration.In December 1870 Mr. Motley sent a 62-page dispatch to Secretary Fish titled “End of a Mission†in which he protested his recall and recounted the events leading to the dispatch of November 10. The Secretary followed with an even longer rejoinder sent not to Motley who was no longer in an official position and hadn’t been when he had sent the dispatch but to the chargé d’affaires Benjamin Moran. Senator Sumner upbraided Mr. Grant and Mr. Fish on the Senate floor then had the Senate publish all the documents related to the recall. In 1878 Oliver Wendell Holmes a fellow Brahmin wrote a memorial biography which was devoted to a defense of the former minister and a repudiation of his recall. John Jay who had succeeded Mr. Motley in Vienna published his own defense of him in 1877. Mr. Grant after leaving the presidency wrote a letter to the New York Herald reiterating that his reason for dismissing Mr. Motley was solely that he had failed to carry out his duties. Mr. Grant restated this charge a few years later in a Cairo interview while he was on a world tour concluding that he had no ill will toward Mr. Motley who “…like other estimable men made mistakes and Motley made a mistake which made him an improper person to hold office under me.â€.Provenance: Lt.-Col. Herbert Alexander St. John-Mildmay was born on 20 July 1836.1 He was the son of Captain George William St. John-Mildmay and Mary Baillie. He married Susan Margaret Stackpole Motley daughter of the American writere and diplomat the Hon. John Lothrop Motley 1814 -1877 on 7 May 1884.1 He died on 21 October 1922 at age 86.
