This is another paragraph Product Description: Hans Kung is undoubtedly one of the most important theologians of our time but he has always been a controversial figure and as the result of a much-publicized clash over papal infallibility had his permission to teach revoked by the Vatican. Yet he is also something like a senior statesman one of the Group of Eminent Persons convened by the UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and a friend of heads of government like Tony Blair and President Mubarak of Egypt. In this autobiography he gives a frank and outspoken account of the first four decades of his life. He tells of his youth in Switzerland and his decision to become a priest; his doubts and struggles as he studied in Rome and Paris and his experiences as a professor in Tubingen where he received a chair at the amazingly early age of 31. Most importantly as one of the last surviving eye-witnesses he gives an authentic account of the struggles behind the scenes at the Second Vatican Council in which he took part as a theological expert.

‎1860 ORIGINAL HANDWRITTEN 44 PAGE ACCOUNT OF THE MURDER OF THE MOORE FAMILY AND THE CAPTURE OF MARY BY THE INDIANS OF TAZEWELL VIRGINIA DIFFERING FROM THE 'CAPTIVES OF ABB'S VALLEY' AS TOLD BY REVEREND JAMES MOORE BROWN‎

‎ABB'S VALLEY TAZEWELL COUNTY VIRGINIA 1860. On offer is a fascinating significant original 44 page manuscript relic of Western Virginia Americana and the early troubled times between pioneers and Indians. Enclosed within an envelope inscribed: "The Captives of Abb's Valley" not the account as written by "Rev. James Moore Brown". Tad Humphreys for with" is an 1860s previous holders of the article date the item 1830 to 1860 and we holdd with the latter handwritten account of some of the events in the Indian War in Tazewell County Virginia. The 6½ x 3¾ inch pages appears to have been removed from a booklet the text block held barely by string and it also appears incomplete starting mid sentence but the narrative is early so we suggest the cover sheet forming the first page and last page are lost some loose pages. There is also some loss to the front page and the second as the lower right corner is torn away and a loss of a few words. Some chipping and loss too but just a bit. This will not deter historians and researchers from find this retelling of significance as it differs from an account written in 1854 as mentioned previously by the Reverend Brown. This retelling is filled with details and is closely written at times minutely. The story revolves around the Moore family massacre the subsequent kidnapping of the Mary Moore and her two companions by Indians in Tazewell County Virginia in the 1780s and their later escape and even recounts how the young woman was sold to a white man named Stobwell and much more. Some of the account is so intimate we can only speculate the writer this account was incredibly knowledgeable of the details. Here is a snippet from the very start: '….Indians who surrounded it & cut down the door. Providentially however several men had that evening called at Mr. Poag's house & were lodging with him & the Indians finding the house more strongly defended than they expected did not…. The men in the house were well armed but had set their guns all together some of which were double & some single triggered. In the hurry of alarm they all appear to have gotten hold of the wrong guns and though several favourable opportunities were afforded for firing with advantage they were unable to discharge their guns.' Save for the mentioned defects it is very legible in a clear hand the with not a word wasted on describing the specifics of this awful tale and is overall Fair. Fair. 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall.

‎1865 - 1866 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT DIARY OF A YOUNG ANGLO WOMAN LIVING IN THE FRENCH HEART OF LOWER CANADA‎

‎QUEBEC CITY LORETTE BEAUMONT LOWER CANADA 1865. On offer is a fascinating original 1865 - 1866 manuscript diary handwritten by a young early 20s we estimate unidentified woman living in what was the heart of Lower Canada in or very near Quebec City. While the writer is unidentified there are many clues which local historians and researchers should find handy to identify this young pious and Church going but still cheeky enough to admit her flirtations very socially active Anglo woman living undoubtedly in or around Beaumont on the lower shore and Quebec City. She writes of going to the Island likely Ile d'Orleans Levis and many times to Lorette for as long as a week undoubtedly L'Ancienne-Lorette just west of Quebec City. Obviously of some means and at leisure filling her days with short trips visits social activities and of course the ever present Church is always either in the foreground or background. The woman uses a very plain beige paper cover notebook dating entries as written oft times short notes many times when something of particular interest has occurred a couple of lines. The book is dated as 'Journal Continued August 1st 1865' but any other volumes are absent lost to history making this volume all the more unique as a personal expression of a clearly Anglo woman's life pre-Confederation in a decidedly 'New France' locale. The 6 x 7¾ inch soft cover has 32 or so pages and is overall G. Good. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Manuscript. paperback‎

‎1836 ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPT LOG OF A US NAVAL WAR SHIP STILL PATROLLING THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA PROTECTING AMERICAN COMMERCIAL INTERESTS 20 YEARS AFTER THE LAST BARBARY WAR‎

‎ABOARD THE USS SHARK MEDITERRANEAN 1836. On offer is a super original 19th Century manuscript relic of United States post Barbary Wars naval actions in the Mediterranean handwritten by an unidentified naval officer serving on the U.S.S. SHARK which was part of the Mediterranean Squadron protecting American commerce in 1836. The four page tightly written abstract log dated August 12th through September 29th details a trip up the Adriatic Sea to anchor off Trieste wherein they are quarantined for 14 days as there was Cholera ashore. Despite the quarantine the log records that Cholera broke out after they left Trieste and the loss of three crew on the passage from Trieste to Milos Greece where they again were quarantined. From there sailed to Jaffa Israel where they joined the squadron consisting of the ships and frigates: USS CONSTITUTION 'OLD IRONSIDES' USS UNITED STATES USS JOHN ADAMS and USS POTOMAC. The writer goes to Jerusalem during this time while the fleet is quarantined. After the quarantine they made repairs and during that time the log records that guns were fired and her flag was hoisted at half staff in memory President James Madison who had died in June. At Jaffa he and other officers are ordered to the U.S.S CONSTITUTION. Our author loved the SHARK as he writes in conclusion: "Good-bye Shark - After nine months close acquaintance I love thee no better than at the first interview albeit thou hast the Kentuckians mark of diving down deeper and staying under longer than any other craft which I remember to have encountered in my nautical career - then coming up dryer is quite another sort o' thing. Again farewell Shark -- Farewell". The SHARK was built in 1821 as a topsail schooner. It was involved in the suppression of the Slave Trade and in the 1840s was ordered to the Pacific. She was lost at the mouth of the Columbia River in 1846 and today several artefacts from the Shark are preserved in museums on the Northwest coast. Some chipping to the edges a small inconsequential dampstain but overall G. Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Manuscript. unknown‎
