‎About The Book : The fortune and after-fame of public men, often depend rather upon the spirit of the times in which they live, and the state of political parties, to whose influence they are exposed, than upon their own intrinsic merits or defects. This is an axiom, approaching indeed to a truism, applicable to all times and countries, but more especially to our own; where, for so many generations, government has avowedly been carried on upon the principle of balancing party against party; and where, until quite recently, no public man seems to have thought that we could be governed in any other manner. It was the lot of my father to enter the service of his country, at a period when party heat and violence had attained to their greatest height; and it was his misfortune to excite the personal enmity of a man, who became, in a manner, the oracle and prompter of a faction, the most intemperate, and, at the same time, the most able, persevering, and influential, that ever sate upon the Opposition benches: I allude to Sir Philip Francis. This is not the place to descant upon the character of that gentlemen; it will be fully developed hereafter. But I think it highly important, thus early in this work, to premise, in a summary way, what manner of man he was, who originated these proceedings. About The Author : Elijah Barwell Impey (1780-1849); Parents: Elijah Impey, Educated at Westminster and Christ Church, Oxford, he served briefly in the dragoons and published poetry. In the course of my work, The author have repeatedly announced my intention of depositing the Family MSS. and other papers (upon which this volume is mainly founded), in the Library of the British Museum. The author have now only to announce that those hooks and papers have been so deposited, and that they are now accessible to every man of letters, that may wish to study an important chapter in Indian history, or to test the correctness of my numerous quotations and references. The fortune and after-fame of public men, often depend rather upon the spirit of the times in which they live, and the state of political parties, to whose influence they are exposed.‎

‎Il était grand temps de rendre à un intellectuel d'exception, philosophe et homme politique, la place éminente qui lui revient. Grâce à Elisabeth et Robert Badinter, c'est chose faite. Leur Condorcet répare une injustice trop longtemps perpétrée à l'endroit d'un homme éblouissant qui, justement, a consacré sa vie à combattre toutes les iniquités.Claude Servan-Schreiber, Marie-France.Intellectuel, philosophe, défenseur des Noirs, des Juifs, des femmes, abolitionniste convaincu et militant, et accompagné dans la vie par une femme aussi belle qu'intelligente, la célèbre Sophie à la tête bien faite, Condorcet ne pouvait qu'attirer le ministre de la Justice qui fit voter l'abolition de la peine de mort, et son épouse, philosophe, féministe et passionnée par le Siècle des Lumières.Michèle Gazier, Télérama.Que devient « un intellectuel en politique » selon le sous-titre de ce livre ? Est-ce une pensée qui s'altère ? Le Condorcet des premiers temps, celui d'Elisabeth Badinter, est-il le même que le révolutionnaire de 1789 étudié par l'ancien ministre de la Justice ? La question qui traverse ce livre n'a rien de théorique. Elle est intime, brûlante même. Et la réponse que donne ce Condorcet est lumineuse.Marianne Alphant, Libération.Les auteurs, sans doute parce qu'ils sont deux, se gardent d'intervenir en leur nom. Ils font oeuvre d'historiens, non d'essayistes... Mais quel beau travail, sobre, fouillé, habité de discrets élans, d'évidentes tendresses !Bertrand Poirot-Delpech, Le Monde.

‎ELISE R TYSON for JH BUCKINGHAM J H‎

‎1840 RIVETING ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT SURVIVOR'S ACCOUNT OF THE SINKING BY FIRE AND EVENTUAL RESCUE OF AN AMERICAN PACKET SHIP FILLED WITH COMBUSTIBLES AND PASSENGERS‎

‎25 MILES SOUTH OF NANTUCKET SHOALS. Good. 1840. On offer is a sensational original 38 page manuscript account dated Boston 1840 of the ill-fated voyage of the packet ship 'Poland' which caught fire on May 16 en route from New York to Le Havre in France her passengers being rescued two days later by Captain J.B. Ingersoll with the Clifton. The narrator and survivor was Mr. J.H. Buckingham a descendent of Thomas Tinker one of the Pilgrim Fathers on the Mayflower his father being Hon. Joseph Tinker Buckingham 1771-1861 politician journalist and founder of the Boston Courier in 1824. J.H. Buckingham is also associated with the Boston Courier for many years serving his father's enterprise as editor publisher and reporter. Before this voyage he had just resigned as publisher of the Boston Courier in 1939 but would return as a reporter shortly thereafter. In July 1847 he made a stage-coach trip to Chicago and throughout Illinois as a delegate to the River and Harbor Convention and as a reporter for his father's paper accompanying none other than later President Abraham Lincoln. The actual writer appears to be Elizabeth Elise Russell Tyson daughter of George Tyson a railroad official and former merchant in the China trade and Sarah Anthony Tyson. She lived with her family at 314 Dartmouth Street in Boston and in 1915 married attorney and fox hunting aficionado George D. Vaughan. The detailed account of Poland's final voyage interrupted and ended by a lightning induced fire about 25 miles south of Nantucket Shoals leaves little to the imagination as Buckingham describes all: the beginning of the journey the devastating storm and subsequent fire to the cotton and flour in the cargo hold measures taken by crew and passengers for survival the struggles and the collaborative efforts the slowly passing and uncertain hours are recounted in detail until the final rescue. Luckily for historians and researchers the witness to these events was one of the few who remained on the vessel after most were placed on longboats. Not knowing if he would survive at all his observations are recalled in a calm stoic manner his recollections vivid and clear. We quote from the Sydney Gazette: "No language" says the writer of narrative. "can tell of the sufferings of that night which was far more dreadful than the previous night." After a variety of the most agonizing apprehensions and sufferings during which the mothers who had been compelled to hold their youngest children in their arms were well nigh exhausted the ship was put before the wind in the hope of falling in with some sail and as the vessel leaked the men were put to the pump and the water first pumped up was hot. At two o'clock on the afternoon of Monday a sail was discovered from the mast-head. It proved to be the Clifton Captain J. B. Ingersoll bound from Liverpool to New York with two hundred and fifty steerage passengers. The transfer of the crew and passengers of the Poland to the Clifton was effected. At the time the last boat's load left the former her decks had become too hot to stand upon and as she rolled in the sea the water ran from her reeking sides as from hot iron. On board the Clifton every attention was paid to these who had escaped such extreme danger and in due time they were landed safely in New York." Overall G. HISTORICAL NOTES: On 11 May 1840 she left New York with a total of 63 persons on board 24 being cabin passengers. On the 16th she was struck by lightning a disastrous event which resulted in a fire being sparked onboard creating a desperate situation which just in time ended in a rescue. On the 18th the Boston built 'Clifton' commanded by Captain J. B. Ingersoll bound from Liverpool to New York with two hundred and fifty steerage passengers came upon the Poland with her passengers sequestered to the vessel's bow. She took all persons onboard along with any salvageable provisions until the Captain deemed it unsafe to continue. At the time of the last load being removed Poland's decks had become too hot to stand upon. The deeply grateful group watched the Poland burned into the sea knowing that they had so narrowly escaped the same end. The loss of property to the Poland was estimated at $150000. The captain crew and all passengers were saved - within only hours of the ship's sinking. ; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF ELISE R.

‎ELIZABETH WILLIAMSON‎

‎1888 - 1929 FASCINATING ORIGINAL GROUP OF 15 MANUSCRIPT DIARIES HANDWRITTEN BY THE WIFE OF AN EDINBURGH MINISTER‎

‎Scotland. Good. 1888. On offer are 15 detailed diaries of a Scottish minister's wife at the turn of the 19th century and extending into the first quarter of the 20th century 1888 through 1929. Comprising about 200 pages each these leather-bound volumes are in very good condition. They measure about 5 inches by 3/34 inches. Most of the annual diary entries are 99% complete. Several are 33-50%. There are additional notes in the Memoranda sections. The entries are brief and her handwriting is very tight but fairly legible. The 1923 volume contains an insurance policy attached to the inside rear cover. It was issued by the Ocean Accident & Guarantee Company Limited. Ocean was incorporated in 1876 and through mergers continued in business until 2005 when it was wound up. The 1929 volume was printed by Letts & Co the firm that invented the world's first commercial diary more than 200 years ago. Under a red-sealed ribbon it contains 2 unique sales offerings. One is an accident insurance policy which notes it is not necessary for the . policy or the diary to be on the person at the time of accident. The 2nd insert offers an anonymous mailing forwarding & redirect service. The firm British Monomark had been established only 4 years previously and remains in business today as one of the UK's largest mail forwarding and virtual business service providers. The other interesting feature of this 1929 volume is a folding memo tablet attached to the rear cover. It can be used as a mini whiteboard as its polished surface can be erased with a damp cloth. The volumes for 1924 1925 1927 and 1928 are Edinburgh Diaries manufactured by George Waterston & Sons. They contain a very extensive information section including the usual lists such as Postal rates MP's and UK and Scottish holidays etc. Additionally there are some unique sections such as an extensive Gardening Kalendar Game Laws Terms Tide Tables for Principal Scottish Ports and a detailed listing of the Members of the Royal Family. The author of the diaries is unknown. From context we can gather that her husband 'A' is a minister possibly Church of England. There are a number of references to locations that lead one to believe they live in Edinburgh. Her entries recount personal events and happenings within her community: "Went into town in the afternoon and accomplished all my errands which were numerous. Called on Mrs. Mrs also on Miss Gibson" April 27 1888. "Stopped at Britismans a cod fishing station. 31 millions caught this year . "July 4 1888. "Lunched with D McGregor and Lady Jane Dundas and Lady Caroline Charteris. Aunt Helen had baptism . " Mar 5 1889. "Left Edinburgh at 10:30 for Abington where the 4-in-hand coach awaited us. The party consists of Mr & Mrs Thomas Leadbetter Miss Thomas Ball P & E and us. Lunched at Leadhills down Menock Pass past Canonbridge to Thornhill. Called at the Rogersons" May3 1889. She notes with a great deal of tenderness: ". Tonight at ten minutes past eleven our little girl came to us - our first born. How strange it all seems! God be praised" Aug 7 1889. "Percy left this morning. Mary at Creigs. A left this morning for Balmoral with P who was going across to Fife ." Sept 21 1889. "Meeting about various messages in the morning Shopping with E in the afternoon. Made calls in connection with the projected mission. Harry Parker came in at night. Called on Mrs. Williamson" June 8 1891. "At Graham Park Mission all day decorating the hall." Dec 23 1892. Many entries note shopping excursions and lunches with friends. She helps out with church events and bazaars. She has a very busy social life as would befit someone who is married to a minister with some standing in his community. The diaries contain a section for noting who visited the date of their visit and when the visit was reciprocated. There are many entries over the time period. Her cash accounts are sporadic but do note costs of various items plus her donations to various causes. Twenty five years on her life is still focused around family her very busy social life and church activities. "A went to 's funeral and took the service. I had no black or dark clothes so I sent flowers. I called upon Mrs . Fresh but cold. ." Aug 13 1924; "Went hunting for carpets for Joppa Home in the morning."Apr 14 1927. Joppa Home was a home for unmarried mothers and their babies. This is a superb resource for a social historian looking at the role of women in a society with a highly defined structure. This would be especially the case for Victorian Scotland. The author is a very literate educated woman who diligently records her daily life over a period of many years. Church historians would find the many notes of churches and church events an excellent research reference.; Manuscript; 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF 19TH CENTURY 20TH CENTURY 1880S 1890S 1900S 1920S CHURCH OF ENGLAND VICTORIAN EDINBURGH ROLE OF WOMEN IN VICTORIAN SCOTLAND CLERGY IN SCOTLAND OCEAN ACCIDENT & GUARANTEE COMPANY LIMITED LETTS & CO DIARY BRITISH MONOMARK INSURANCE POLICIES IN 1920S E GEORGE WATERSTON& SONS EDINBURGH DIARIES; LADY CAROLINE CHARTERIS SOCIAL LIFE OF WOMEN IN VICTORIAN EDINBURGH WOMEN STUDIES CHURCH HISTORY ANGLICAN COMMUNION IN SCOTLAND HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS DIARY DIARIES JOURNALS PERSONAL HISTORY SOCIAL HISTORY HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO D'ANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . hardcover‎

‎Elizabeth Helen Mahon‎

‎1951 Detailed Travel Diary of a Halifax Woman’s Train Tour Across Canada and Into the Western United States‎

‎Regina Seattle Vancouver. Good with no dust jacket. 1951. Softcover. On offer is a wonderfully detailed description of a classic train trip across Canada in the middle of the 20th century often reading as a love letter to Canada as it was shortly after the second world war as the baby boom was in full swing. The journal belonged to Elizabeth Helen Mahon 1926-2020. Mahon was born and raised in Halifax Nova Scotia graduating from Dalhousie University with a B. Sc in 1948. She worked in public health and as a registered lab technician. She married Ronald Curtis Lewis who passed away in 1964 and in 1993 she married Ernest Cavanaugh who passed away in 1994. Elizabeth had three children. After leaving Halifax Elizabeth lived in Amherst Dartmouth Toronto Brantford and finally settled in Cornwall Ontario. Elizabeth was devoted to the United Church and an active member of the UCW. She was also a long-term member of the Canadian Federation of University Women CFUW. In 1951 Elizabeth was 25 apparently dating her would-be husband who she calls “Curtis” and working in public health. She embarked on what is often seen as the iconic Canadian experience – travelling across the vast expanse of Canada by train. On this trip she was accompanied by her aunt. She travelled west to British Columbia and then south to the United States stopping in Seattle before heading back east through Montana. Some of the many places Elizabeth stops tours and discusses at length in her diary include Montreal Winnipeg Regina Edmonton Banff and Lake Louise Vancouver Victoria Seattle Yellowstone Montana. She does indicate that she travels to Chicago on her way back to Halifax but her record cuts off after the Montana leg of her journey. Helen’s descriptions are well written and offer an excellent perspective of Canada as it was as well as some nice insight into western USA. Mahon often stopped in cities where she had friends or family and described local tours or excursions she took which adds a richness of detail to her journey. The following examples will illustrate not only the images and impressions of what she wanted to capture but also her descriptive writing. Note that these are just excerpts. Her entries are very long and chatty. : “Soon after leaving Newcastle came to Bathurst and to the Bay Chaleur and saw the Gaspé Peninsula very clearly. High hills looking quite purple with green fields just like squares at the foot and little white dots where there were villages. Some places looked like sheer rock” June 10. “.Returned over the Henri Mercier Bridge in heavy traffic and came through west part of Montreal. Many of the Indians from the Reserve work on bridges because they are surefooted at high altitudes. Many work on bridges in New York and Montreal. Return to their little shacks on weekends in big cars…” June 11. “.There are a great many very tiny homes poor looking but almost no tenements in Regina. Saw many different foreign churches Greek Orthodox Ukranian…Romanian…Saw many of the buildings of the crown corporations such as Saskatchewan Gov’t telephone Insurance power etc…Many wooden sidewalks in Regina” June 18. “. As we climbed higher above Lake Louise the lake became a deeper color. It really is turquoise clear when you are beside it but seems to be a solid color as you get higher. Came to a little lake called Mirror Lake. From there we could see the Little Log House way up above. So we kept climbing…” June 27. “.The bus brought us direct to Banff Springs Hotel. We really felt “ritzy” in our room which is huge. If this is what the cheapest ones are we wonder what the more expensive ones are like…then we went to the Town to get mail at the Cascade and take the chair lift up Mount Norquay. This chair life is really wonderful the way you just float to the top of the mountain. The view was superb. We looked down on the Town of Banff the Banff Springs Hotel and right down the Bow Valley the way it flows toward Calgary. Mt Rundle is really a beautiful mountain and no picture I have seen does it justice…went to look around the hotel and discovered an illustrated lecture on the Rockies being given in Mt. Stephen Hall…” June 28. “One of the first places we noticed was Butte Montana. Rather a barron looking town from the train…Plateau land rolling hills no trees lots of sage brush then all of a sudden this ended and there was flat prairie…we disembarked at Three Forks for Yellowstone…the bus took us to Gallatin Inn…This iss a very nice inn run by the Milwakee railroad…” July 7. Also included with this diary are 20 black and white photographs. The pictures are of individuals and small groups who obviously were important in her life. One has the annotation “Anna”. Anna was with Elizabeth on this trip. For a social historian this diary offers a fine overview of what Canada looked like through the eyes of a a young woman on her first trip across this vast country. For a gender studies program it points to the changing roles of women in Canadian society prompted by the enormous changes in society as a result of WWII.

His "Trout" Quintet his "Unfinished" Symphony the last three piano sonatas and above all his song cycles Die Schone Mullerin and Winterreise have come to be universally regarded as belonging to the very greatest works of music Who was the man who composed this amazing succession of masterpieces so many of which were either entirely ignored or regarded as failures during his lifetime In this new biography Elizabeth McKay paints a vivid portrait of Schubert and his world.
