‎Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - sehr guter Zustand / very good condition - Uebersicht des Inhalts -- Während Darius am Euphrat ein Heer sammelte, zog Alexander, der sich bereits die Westküste und den westlichen Theil der Südküste von Kleinasien unterworfen hatte, nach dem Innern desselben, um auch hier seine Herrschaft zu begründen. Demnächst begann der Zug nach dem östlicheren Asien. Alexander verfolgte dabei die gewöhnliche grosse Strasse und gelangte fast ohne Hindernisse nach Tarsus. Hier ward er indess durch einen gefährlichen Krankheitsanfall aufgehalten. Auf die Nachricht davon rückte Darius eiligst heran, um den Feind in dem schwierigen Terrain von Cilicien zu überraschen. Allein er verfehlte seinen Zweck. Denn als er bei Issus in Cilicien eindrang, hatte Alexander, der durch seinen Arzt Philipp schnell wiederhergestellt war, sein Heer bereits durch die schwierigsten Pässe zwischen Cilicien und Syrien hindurchgeführt. So sah sich Darius gezwungen, den Kampf auf einem für ihn höchst ungünstigen Terrain anzunehmen. Als der Ausgang bedenklich zu werden drohte, da floh Darius und vernichtete so selbst jede Hoffnung auf eine glückliche Entscheidung. Alexanders Edelsinn bewährte sich in der Behandlung der Gefangenen, unter denen die nächsten Angehörigen des Darius sich befanden. Eine Folge des Sieges war, dass Damascus mit des Königs Schätzen durch Verrath in Parmenio's Hände fiel. - Curtius verfasste in lateinischer Sprache eine zehn Bücher umfassende ?Geschichte Alexanders des Großen? (Historiae Alexandri Magni Macedonis), von der die ersten beiden Bücher verloren gegangen sind.[11] Teile der Bücher 3, 5, 6 und 10 fehlen ebenfalls. Es ist damit dennoch das einzige umfassendere lateinische Geschichtswerk über Alexander, das mehr oder weniger vollständig überliefert ist. ISBN 9783487060040‎

‎Cusack, Veronica‎

‎The Invisible Soldier: Captain W.A.P. Durie, His Life and Afterlife‎

‎In November, 1915, a shy, cosseted and rather pompous bank clerk left Canada to fight as a lieutenant on the battlefields of Europe. Despite genteel poverty, his mother had raised him to be the heir to both military greatness and aristocratic splendour. She even followed him to Europe in an attempt to manipulate his destiny. But in the awful killing ground of the Ypres Salient, and subsequently at Vimy and Passchendaele, William Arthur Peel Durie came to understand something of the man he was, instead of the man he was supposed to be. Mother was not pleased. When her son died in the trenches of France, Anna Durie could once again control his fate. Despite the dictates of Britain and the Empire stating that soldiers who fell in the Great War must rest with their comrades, she made up her mind to steal his body from its grave in the military cemetery near Lens and smuggle it home to the Toronto family plot. Veronica Cusack has unearthed a treasure trove of letters, memoirs, and war records and used them to brilliantly recreate a soldier finding himself in battle and a woman driven by her maternal obsession.205p. plates Book‎

‎CUSTOMS OFFICERS BARLOW, DAY and HAGNER‎

‎1938 - 1939 ORIGINAL PRE WORLD WAR II MANUSCRIPT JOURNAL OF 3 CUSTOMS OFFICERS SEIZING GOODS AND ARRESTING SMUGGLERS IN THE PORT OF NEW YORK‎

‎NEW YORK CITY NEW YORK. Fair. 1938. On offer is an original 1938 - 1939 manuscript relic of pre World War II policing by three US Customs and Duty officers named Barlow Day and Hagner. The entries list seizures they made the date the name of the ship which pier the items seized and the value of these items. Historians and researchers of such work will be amazed at the breadth of the seized items beyond the assumed liquor tobacco and weapons. The notes detail such sundry items pyjamas perfume sandals table cloths lotion wallets shell boxes cameras tea jewellery coins and more. Included within the pages of the journal are several newspaper clippings. Four of them were obits for a man by the name of Sgt. John E. Day who died during WWII. He was the brother of custom's agent Edward F. Day. There are also a few articles about a narcotics bust mostly opium showing a woman by the name of Madeline Mayling as the suspect. In part: "June 9th 1939. United States Customs agents were set last night to crack down on a huge Broadway drug syndicate as a result of the arrest of a woman head of a gown shop and the seizure of more than $15000 worth of crude gum opium and morphine base on her person. The woman under arrest is Madeline Mayling 38 who operated the Helene Modes Inc. on the 6th floor of the Gayety Gaiety Theatre Building 1547 Broadway……She was captured as she walked off the Italian liner Vulcania last Friday night with 12 1/2 pound slabs of opium under her girdle. "I thought it was imported Roquefort or limburger cheese" she insisted. She is held in default of $25000 bail charged with smuggling. An alleged accomplice whose name is withheld also is under arrest….Other narcotics were found at her home and at her place of business a Broadway dress shop….In her apartment a fully loaded automatic pistol was also found…" Another article notes that a woman was hiding four pounds of pure heroin in the soles of her shoes; several pairs. The handwritten entry in the journal that shows where they arrested Madeline but she was going under the alias name of "Helen Hoffman" as the newspaper article states. There is also a small typed piece of paper which is titled "Enforcement Division Notes." This piece talks about Guard E. F. Day who was "strolling" on board the S. S. Pacific which was docked in Brooklyn at the time. He decided to search the seamen's wash room and found a bottle that ordinarily contained pickles when actually it was "Preserved Marijuana." It was concealed under the iron floor of the wash room. This is really a fascinating 37 pages of intimate details of the unique service these officers performed. There are about 40 different ships mentioned including: the Normandie California Virginia Ile de France New York Champlain Rotterdam Berlin Queen Mary Breman and many more. Some of the piers are; Constable Hook in Bayonne New Jersey Claremont Terminal in New Jersey New Briton Boat Landing in Staten Island Pier 18 North River Brooklyn piers and more. Finally in the back of this journal is two page handwritten entry about a Grand Jury session concerning the seizure of opium on board the ship SS Menclaus. Seems they found opium in the bottom of a bucket hidden under some clothing and belonging to Lee Foo Yung. The diary it's in poor shape with the cover detached but present and the cover is also torn at the spine in places. There are a few torn out pages but the diary itself has over 100 pages of which 37 have entries. Binding still looks good and there is a bit of foxing around the edges of the pages. The journal measures about 4 ¾" x 6 ¾".
