Jonathan Richardson: Art Theorist of the English Enlightenment
USA: Yale University Press. Good with no dust jacket. 2000. First Edition. Hardcover. 0300081278 . The wealth of his father "enabled Richardson to live as a leisured gentleman of independent means. In both his career as a painter and his published writings he asserted his independence from authority whether in the form of court patronage or attributional judgements about pictures. Despite being neither a man of letters nor university educated he considered his practical experiences rational mind and extensive literary and intellectual acquaintance to be sufficient qualifications for the publication of three original volumes on art theory and one on Milton's Paradise Lost. He thereby epitomized the egalitarian implications of Lockean philosophy which with its emphasis on the roughly equal natural abilities of people and the role of industry and education in achieving merit provided an epistemological basis for bourgeouis individualism." - Introduction.

The accompanying text recounts her life before and after her two and a half year stay in Fredericton but deals primarily with her experiences in New Brunswick. Her letters and pictures demonstrate an intelligent understanding of the daily concerns of the people she met and offer a rare glimpse of everyday life in Canada over a hundred years ago." - dust jacket. 92 pages.

Early Huron Houses - Book No. 1 - Three on the Huron Road
Goderich Ontario: Self-Published. Very Good. 1965. First Edition. Paperback. Describes the histories of "three homes found in a group about one and a half miles east of Goderich Ontario on number 8 Highway. They have long been of local interest and the cause of road stops by admiring passers-by. Few inland Ontario farm homes can count as a long-time occupant the grandson of an English Earl and reflect the gracious manner in which he lived as does the Curzon house. Few can rival the stateliness of the stone Rundle residence with its winding drive and its magnificent setting high on the banks of the Maitland River. Few too match the eye-catching appeal of the Laithwaite farm with its pleasing one hundred and thirty year old farmhouse and its five lawns adorned with statuary. This book presents these homes not so much for their architectural quality or impressiveness but for the eloquent record they furnish of the work aspirations and everyday life of their builders and other occupants in the early years of the twentieth century." - Foreword. p. 4 22. Black and white reproductions of archival photos. Clean and unmarked with light wear. A quality copy. Bishop p.1084.; 8vo . Self-Published paperback

"Arthur Oliver Wheeler was not the first surveyor or alpinist to enter the Canadian Rockies but his work in both areas was more important and far-reaching than that of most of the earlier pioneers. He was the first surveyor to provide a complete map of the icefields and peaks of the Rogers Pass region. His report on the area helped to establish Glacier National Park as one of the foremost alpine recreation areas in western Canada. In 1913 he initiated a survey of the interprovincial boundary between Alberta and British Columbia - the crest of the Great Divide. Ten years later he completed his work having surveyed and mapped the backbone of the continent from the American border north to Mount Robson. When he died in Banff at the age of 83 he was referred to as 'The Grand Old Man of the Mountains.'". - dust jacket. 6164 pages. Index. Black and white reproductions of archival photos.

"I attempt in the following pages to give some account of my experiences among the Bolsheviks from January to April of the year 1920. My story is neither Propaganda for Bolshevism nor Propaganda against it.

Alexander, Michael
The Reluctant Legionnaire
<p>New York: Dutton 1956 1st Am. ed. 189pp. hardback 8vo: Very Good in a Good dj hint of shelf rubbing; else VG A marvelous true story of the rescue of an eccentric Englishman West de Wend Fenton 1927-2002 from the clutches of the French Foreign Legion in Algeria in 1955. "Beau West" had impulsively and foolishly joined the Legion only a few months earlier with the classic rationale of forgetting a spurned proposal of marriage. Several days of drowning his sorrows in drink had set him on his impetuous course. He saw a moment of battle action against Arab tribesmen but spent most of his time in various Legion stockades for attempted desertion. The author of this "escapade" helped to rescue Fenton and this story is as much about Michael Alexander 1920-2004 a relation of Field Marshal Alexander and a prisoner at Colditz during World War II as it is about his subject. Once safely back on English soil Fenton married the woman for whom he had joined the Legion. An entertaining improbable quintessentially English story. The moral of this tale which is the moral of all memoirs about joining the Foreign Legion is "don't do it!"</p> New York: Dutton hardcover
