‎LIFE AND SERMONS OF ELDER JAMES QUINTER, Late editor of Gospel Messenger, President of Brethren's Normal College, and author of "Trine Immersion." By his Daughter.‎

‎426 p. + Frontis portrait. 12 mo. Attractive original full cloth binding, lettered in gold gilt. Very good. James Quinter (1816-1888) joined the German Baptist Brethren Church in 1833, was elected to the ministry in 1838, and ordained an elder in 1856. He was educated at the boarding school, West Bradford, PA and taught school in Montgomery County, PA (1833-1842); and in Fayette County, PA (1842-1856). He served as principal of New Vienna (Ohio) Academy (1861-1864); Huntingdon Normal School; Brethren's Normal College; and Juniata College (1879-1888). He was one of the first Brethren to hold protracted evangelistic meetings. In 1856 he moved to Poland, Ohio to become Assistant Editor of the Gospel Visitor. He soon became co-editor and in 1866 purchased a half share in the publication. In 1873 he became sole owner of the Gospel Visitor and purchased the Christian Family Companion and Gospel Visitor. In 1876 it was renamed the Primitive Christian. In 1877 it was merged with the Pilgrim and Quinter moved to Huntingdon, where he continued as editor and became a senior member of the publishing firm, Quinter and Brumbaugh Brothers. Scarce. L20‎

‎Quirico Domenico‎

‎Gli ultimi. La magnifica storia dei vinti‎

‎br. La Storia ha assegnato ad alcuni personaggi il compito, affascinante, crudele e immane, di liquidare o di scuotere dalle fondamenta costruzioni storiche secolari, possenti ideologie, imperi e regni che avevano quasi assorbito il mondo. Un compito tragico nel senso classico del termine: perché la maggioranza tra gli Ultimi si è caricata sulla schiena questo peso essendone pienamente consapevole. Tutti erano in qualche modo certi che, comunque avessero assolto l'impegno, sarebbero rimasti nella Storia con il marchio degli infami, dei vinti, di notai miserabili di una eredità dilapidata, di traditori di fedi che dovevano essere incrollabili. Non c'è riconoscenza per gli Ultimi che sono sempre dei vinti agli occhi dei posteri. Eppure il Mondo Nuovo, che sorge sulle ceneri del Vecchio, spesso è opera loro. Tanti i casi e le storie esemplari: da Dario, il fragile, umanissimo, disperato rivale di Alessandro, a Gorbaciov, tormentato e malaccorto affossatore dell'Impero rosso di Lenin e di Stalin; da Atahualpa, ultimo inca paralizzato dai presagi della fine a Pu Yi, che nacque imperatore nella città proibita e finì guardia rossa; da Romolo Augustolo, l'imperatore per conto di un padre che non voleva la porpora pur avendo il potere, a Benedetto XVI che scoprì all'improvviso che non si può guarire neppure la chiesa dall'ingiustizia e dalla stupida ferocia degli uomini.‎

‎1939 World War II Diary of British Merchant Navy Sailor Serving As an Apprentice on the M/V Willowbank and Sailing to Turkey‎

‎London England AT Sea. Good with no dust jacket. 1939. Softcover. On offer is a fascinating diary kept by a teenaged British Merchant Navy sailor in WWII who turns 17 while serving aboard the M/V Willowbank. The author of this diary is one R. Bruggey. Our research has not turned up any biographical information about him. The diary covers the year 1939 and the first two days of 1940. This frontline World War II diary opens with an entry from 1938 noting that he was accepted into the Merchant Navy as an apprentice. He was 16 years old at the time. After Christmas at his home he joined a coaster the Dutch vessel SS Westlaan. On Jan 4th he got his orders to report to M/V Willowbank. The Willowbank was a motor merchant ship owned by Andrew Weir & Co. In London. On June 12 1940 it was sunk in an attack by the German submarine U-46. All 51 on board at the time survived our author was likely still on board at this time. This young diarist was so delighted to be joining the war effort. He even draws small diagrams of the ships he is on as well as the ports he stops at. Some excerpts of his writing follows: “On the 14th Oct 1938 I first joined the Shipping Federation. Nov 8th I was accepted for Andrew Weir’s waiting list. 1 week before Christmas I purchased my uniform. On the 23rd Dec I received a letter from the A. W. Co stating I was to fill a vacancy in one of the apprenticeships aboard Willowbank just completing at doseford’s yard Sunderland. Had a very enjoyable Christmas. One of the best” Memoranda 1938. “I joined my ship the Willowbank. Everything very dirty. Signed on about 10: 30 AM. No dinner. Had tea ashore. Mate told us to have bed and breakfast on shore. Back in morning to dinner in ship. Doseford’s Yard filthy. Sunderland is not a very nice place” Jan 7. On January 10th 1939 after workups M/V Willowbank left Tyneside UK bound for Turkey. His entries from this point detail shipboard routines his work and studies and events that he experienced. Excerpts follow: “The ship has nearly a full load! Her first cargo. It now remains to be seen what she’s like at sea when loaded. Worked all day putting a canvas “dodger” round the Monkey Island” Feb 6. “It is exactly 2 month since I first started out from home. Started caulking…Monkey island did about half in one day. Pitch not ready in the evening…Weather very hot. Worse shorts while working got legs terribly sore strong sunburn” March 6. “Sea high. High winds. Heavy spray on deck did not have breakfast lunch in my bunk asleep during dinner felt very ill got a cold” Mar 13. “Weather fair sea very nasty swell and a fair bit of wind…Apparently there has been 1 Canadian ship sunk – the Athenia with Americans on board. Germany has now to face Poland Britain France Australia” Sept 4. “Weather fair choppy sea. 1 British ship sunk to day the Bosnia. Off Portugal getting nearer! All port holes painted black have to shut them at night now. Rooms very hot. Sat in the tire hatch all into evening…life boats cleared away for action. New Zealand and South Africa have declared for Britain. Planes bombed Kiel Canal! ” Sept 5. "My birthday today - 17. Everything just the same. I wonder if anyone is thinking about me today 1 German ship sunk last night. The French have broken through" Sept 10. "At N Guinea this morning. Into Pt Moresby at lunch time a fairly hilly place. Started loading at 2: 00 PM . Went into the Hotel and had a few drinks mostly lemonade beer is too costly" Dec 8. “Started cargo here this morning and got everything finished by 5-0 PM. Waited at anchor all night to get away in the early morning. 4th Engineer pinched a cake out of the store. We all agreed it was very nice! Just going ashore when we were told the launch we’re bound for Raboul so that knocked that on the head” Dec 20. “Had the day off today. Went for crocodile shooting up the little creeks in B. P. 6…got back in time for a lousy Christmas dinner. After dinner the lights went very low then flames started shoot out of the funnel after one terrific blast we heard horrible screams from the engine room. Mich and I ran for the doctor who came in 4 mins. 5 nigs badly burnt from a blow back in the boiler. Went to a lousy Christmas party” Dec 25. For a military or naval historian this is an outstanding record of the day-to-day life of a merchant ship in the early days of WWII. There are references to other ships to current events and descriptions of daily routines. It is one small part of the huge picture of Britain’s effort to survive in the dark days of WWII.

‎1946 - 1947 ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN MIDSHIPMAN JOURNAL OF A SAILOR ON THREE DIFFERENT SHIPS PATROLLING BRITISH WATERS ESCORTING THE ROYAL FAMILY TO SOUTH AFRICA AND EXPERTLY DRAWING PORTRAITS MAPS AND NAVAL DIAGRAMS‎

‎ABOARD THE H.M.S. NELSON VANGUARD AND ANSON. Good. 1946. On offer is the exceptional post WW2 “Journal For The Use Of Midshipman” kept by a man in the Royal Navy named R.H. Cobb. The journal was kept from 1946 to 1947 and includes his time on three different ships the ‘H.M.S. Nelson’ the ‘H.M.S. Vanguard’ and the ‘H.M.S. Anson’. The journal contains detailed entries for most days beginning on October 2 1946 with Cobb’s time on the ‘Nelson’ and going until May 31 1947 when he is on the ‘Anson’. Each entry is roughly a page long though many go longer and a small few are short and concise. Unlike many other log books the entries are not divided much by specific times. They have a very narrative feel to them describing drills races activities and unusual observations at length. Cobb is an excellent writer describing his life in an adept and interesting way throughout the book. However on one entry December 15th his commanding officer seems to have written: “Your freehand version of a journal is poor. Your descriptions of Gibraltar would be excellent if you took more care and trouble to write and to punctuate”. As Cobb explains in the beginning entry the H.M.S. Nelson was the flagship of the Royal Navy’s Training Battleship Squadron stationed in Portland England so the ship takes part in numerous training exercises with other ships such as the H.M.S. Howe Anson Saintes King George V and many more. At the end of November Cobb joins the H.M.S. Vanguard as it sails to South Africa. The ship was to serve as part of the squadron of ships that accompanied King George VI for the first visit by a reigning monarch to South Africa. The ship leaves its port in Portsmouth sails to Gibraltar then on to South Africa. There are tremendous entries of descriptions of sailing with a huge squadron of ships accompanying the monarch on this symbolic trip. As well the Royal Family is on the ship though they are do not interact with Cobb. The ship returns to Portland England and in July Cobb joins the H.M.S. Anson. The ship remains in British waters doing many training drills repairs and peacetime upkeep. Cobb still writes very well and a number of important things occur: a tragic death soon after he joins the ship and the changing of the Rear Admiral of the ship are probably the most significant. At the very end of the book there is a section entitled “Winding up of Journal: In Retrospect” which retells the major points of Cobb’s last year on all three ships. What makes this book so very special besides Cobb being an excellent witness to the post WW2 life on a Naval ship are the beautiful and elegantly drawn diagrams portraits maps schematics and more that Cobb seems to have drawn himself and inserted into the book. Included are: excellent pencil drawings of important political figures Vyacheslav Molotov Winston Churchill General Jan Smuts and King George VI with a quote or description included; Drawings of ships and their internal mechanisms titled things such as “H.M.S. Vanguard off Eldorado Bay” “; Schematics maps training maneuvers and diagrams such as “Various Radar Serials” “Voyage from Cape Town to Simon's Bay and Away” “The Arrangement of Main and Auxiliary Machinery in H.M.S. Vanguard” “Main Wire in ‘Anson’” “The Royal Procession through Lines of the Fleet” one of only in colour and many more. There are probably two dozen of these drawings diagrams and portraits. The skill involved in them in exceptional and a true treat for the buyer of an already exceptional midshipman journal. One photograph of the H.M.S. Nelson is also included. The book is in very good condition showing little wear on either the inside pages or outside cover. There are 191 pages of writing in the book always on the recto side never on the verso as the pen used bleeds through a good bit on the other side. Cobb’s handwriting is easy to comprehend and his style is a joy to read. This is a fantastic document of post-war Royal Navy life as well as a first hand account of the first Royal trip to South Africa. There is so much more included in these pages as well. the size of the book is 34 x 21 cm. Sample Entries: “H.M.S. Nelson. At Portland. October 3 1946. Repaired on board my first ship H.M.S. Nelson under the Command of Captain. C. Caston. Nelson has taken up her peacetime role of flagship of the Trainer’s Battleships H.M.S. Nelson Howe and Anson and flies the flag of Rear Admiral H. Hickling. H.M.S. Nelson was built by Wicker Armstrong and designed by Sir. E Tennyson D'Eyncourt; it is interesting that more attention was paid to constructing than tactical principles.In the 1939-45 War Nelson was twice severely damaged. The first occasion was in Loch Ewe in 1940 when she detonated a magnetic mine putting her out of action for several months; the second in 1941 when a torpedo from an italian aeroplane hit her and prevented her from resuming her duties with the fleet until the N. African Landings in 1943.”; “October 6th. On Saturday we were occupied till 11 with drill and flag duties. That afternoon I was invited to take a whaler away for a sailing race with the Howe. This allowed me about two hours in which to collect a crew from the Special Service Seaman under training and to ____ all the gear needed for the race.Before we set out I noticed we had no trails but we had delayed long enough and could not afford to spend another half hour searching for the trails. We devised another most unorthodox system for trailing up for which three hands were required. They gathered up the foot of the sail the wind having been previously split and after we had warned we set mainsail with due reverence.and so ended what should have been a most instructive afternoon for the crew especially as weather conditions were far from admirable.”; “Nov. 19. The Training Battleship Squadron went to Sea today with the Home Fleet and rehearsed the maneuvers that will be done at the Beginning of February with H.M.S. Vanguard on settling out for the Royal Town of South Africa. It was a most impressive sight when you could see the ships but there was a rather low lying and thick fog and ships were partly obscured.King George V left us after the maneuvers and went to Plymouth for an extensive refit. The Duke of York is coming here in her place and will fly the admiral flag.”; “February 17 1947. We brought the Royal Family to Cape Town after having enjoyed their companionship one might almost say so friendly and hospitable were they during the seventeen day voyage to the Cape. .In the foreground there must have been ten thousand people sitting on the tiers of benches which ___ the route which the King it had been planned would take. Apparently many of the spectators had waited there all night so as to make sure of their seats. Despite their long wait they all looked cheerful and very gay in their wildly colored costumes which provided as much variety as did the flags.We manned ship from 0940 till the Royal Family drove away. After the King had inspected the guard of honor on the quarterdeck the Royal Family said goodbye to the Captain and a few more officers before they walked slowly down the Royal bow at the bottom o f which they were met by the Governor General and Field Marshall.After some important people had been presented to the King and Queen the Royal Family departed driving down the streets of Cape Town which cried with cheering crowds thrilled and conscious of the importance of the event.”; “As midshipmen we have all learned a good deal and when I say that I do not mean technical knowledge so much but experience. All of us agree we have been luckier than most midshipmen and certainly more fortunate than ____ are likely to be for the next few years.”; Manuscript; Folio - over 12" - 15" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF R.

‎R J Double‎

‎1945 Diary of a British Lieutenant Serving in Roorkee India and in Operation Grapeshot in Italy and Later in At the Tail End of World War 2‎

‎Roorke India Italy England Europe. Good with no dust jacket. 1945. Hardcover. On offer is an outstanding journal of an officer who was part of the spring 1945 offensive in Italy codenamed Operation Grapeshot - the final Allied attack during the Italian Campaign in the final stages of WWII. The diary belongs to R. J. Double a 28 year Lieutenant in the Royal Engineers. Our informal research has not been able to find any additional information about him. The Royal Engineers served in every theatre of conflict in WWII. Indeed their motto is “Ubique” Latin for ‘Everywhere’. We know that Double was in India not only from his diary entries but also from a pass that permitted him access to the “Bombay Port Trust Docks”. This pass dated Nov 18th 1943 confirms both his name and his Regiment. He was stationed at Roorkee India on the Burma Front. In January 1945 Double was serving in Roorkee India. He was posted then to the Reinforcement Battalion and prepared to travel to Italy to join the British Eighth Army which was preparing for the massive assault on the German Gothic Line. On January 21st he shipped out beginning a long trip to Italy. An excerpt follows: “.I caught the 10: 45 train on my way to Delhi. The train arrived in Saharanpur at midnight. The train for Delhi arrived at 6: 00 am. I slept in the waiting room” Jan 21. On Mar 14 Double arrived at his destination a camp near Forli Italy south of the Senio River. For the next few weeks he was busy with the engineering work that had to be done before the major assault could begin. Excerpts follow: “Demonstration of flame throwing and building our trestle bridges – everything went ok” Mar 23. “SENIO RIVER ATTACK…I do not intend to write about it I shall never forget what happened It was my first time in action and I now value the experience I was more or less prepared to die or be wounded afterwards. I almost wondered why I received nothing. The attack was a success even though casualties were high…” Apr 9. “I returned to our H. A. About 10 o’clock very hungry and very very tired. I went to bed. I woke up for dinner in the evenings and went to bed again. The guns were firing heavily all night but I hardly noticed them” April 10. For the next several weeks he worked in and around the battle area inspecting bridges clearing mines etc. "I tried to sleep was woken up several times for wireless heard Pollack was killed. I went up to Po to do checking…on other side of River. Found nothing…” Apr 26. He notes the Italian Surrender on May 2nd. He also notes some of the carnage: “.There are many dead German bodies which keep floating down the river. They catch in the wreckage below the bridge and remain there together with the dead horses. It is a very unpleasant sight…” May 11. On leave he takes some time to visit Rome and Assisi before he is ordered to return to India and the front lines there where the war is still raging. On June 20th he ships out. The next 2 weeks of his diary are filled with detailed notes on his journey until he arrives at Roorkee India on July 11th. He notes the detonation of the first nuclear bomb the entry of Russia into the war against Japan and finally in an entry highlighted in red – the end of the war: “FINAL VICTORY The day we have waited for for six long years. The Japanese surrender was accepted and arrangements were made for their complete surrender all over the Pacific. On a day like this I naturally think of Frank and wonder how long it will be before he is free and what he will be like. The day went on as usual. Dave Lang came down to dinner and we went to Cinema. Sa “No sic Voyager” Bette Davis” Aug 15. On August 16 Double and his peers were given a two day “victory holiday”. Double continues to record his time in India even after victory was declared including the signing of the surrender of Singapore on September 12. He leaves Roorkee India on September 21 and records in detail his journey back to Europe and his travels around when he returns. He finally arrives back in England on November 18 at which time he writes “This was really my Victory Day…” He continues to write daily about his life back at home until the end of 1945. For a historian this is a superb first-hand account of a young officer’s life in WWII. Not only was the author present at one of the major campaigns in Europe but he also served on the Burma front in what some have referred to as ‘the Forgotten War’. It would be an outstanding addition to the library of a WWII researcher. Measuring 7.25 inches by 6.75 inches this 1945 diary contains 183 pages and is 98% complete. Tipped into the diary are handwritten notes and newspaper articles. The cover is in good condition although it shows wear marks. The binding is sewn and is in good condition as are the pages. The writing is legible. Overall G. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 183 pages; Signed by Author . hardcover‎
