Warden, William
Letters written on board his majesty's ship the Northumberland and at Saint Helena in which the conduct and conversations of Napoleon Buonaparte and his suite during the voyage and the first months of his residence on that island are faithfully Described and Related
Philadelphia: M. Thomas. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1817. First Edition Thus. First Printing. Hard Cover. Bound in half red morocco over green marbled boards spine lettered and tooled in gilt with four raised bands. Illustrated with engraved frontispiece and engraved facsimile. Warden was a Surgeon on the Northumberland which conveyed Napoleon to St. Helena. During the voyages and for some time at Saint Helena Warden attended Napoleon. Following Napoleon's final defeat on the fields of Waterloo in 1815 and his surrender to the Royal Navy and eventual exile to St. Helena the public curiosity in England regarding the man who had terrorised Europe for years and dragged on a war that had begun in 1793 was overwhelming. Captain Maitland's perhaps better known account of Napoleon's time in the BELLEROPHON the ship Napoleon had surrendered to was not published until 1826. William Warden surgeon on board the NORTHUMBERLAND the ship that carried the Emperor into exile was on his return to England "in a state of persecution from the curiosity which prevails respecting that extraordinary character." Warden had spent several month on the island and was in a position to observe Napoleon at close quarters. His account is illustrated with an engraved vignette portrait of the prisoner a folding facsimile and a further engraved plate depicting two medals. The subject matter and criticism of the work sold many editions in the first year. The populace did not like the favorable depiction of Napoleon and the military and literary audience determining that Warden could not have been present at some of the things described took exception to his claims. Warden's French not being strong and his translator the Count de la Cases' English being confused in conveying Napoleon's comments apparently created discrepancies in the conversations as Napoleon later said that his conversations with Warden were quite different. . Edges rubbes corners bumped and worn boards rubbed mild foxing throughout; former owner's wood-engraved bookplate Daniel Delehanty Vincent Stuart Jr. on fep some light pencil sketches on ffep pencil signature on half-title "D. LymanWashington D.C.Friday July 18 1879" and in a light pencil of another hand "Red & Blue". VERY GOOD. Engravings. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. ix xi 244 pp . M. Thomas hardcover

This is another paragraph Product Description: John Grisham's first work of non-fiction an exploration of small town justice gone terribly awry in his most extraordinary legal thriller yet. In the major league draft of 1971 the first player chosen from the State of Oklahoma was Ron Williamson. When he signed with the Oakland A's he said goodbye to his hometown of Ada and left to pursue his dreams of big league glory. Six years later he was back his dreams broken by a bad arm and bad habits - drinking drugs and women. He began to show signs of mental illness. Unable to keep a job he moved in with his mother and slept 20 hours a day on her sofa. In 1982 a 21 year-old cocktail waitress in Ada named Debra Sue Carter was raped and murdered and for five years the police could not solve the crime. For reasons that were never clear they suspected Ron Williamson and his friend Dennis Fritz. The two were finally arrested in 1987 and charged with capital murder. With no physical evidence the prosecution's case was built on junk science and the testimony of jaihouse snitches and convicts. Dennis Fritz was found guilty and given a life sentence. Ron Williamson was sent to Death Row. If you believe that in America you are innocent until proven guilty this book will shock you. If you believe in the death penalty this book will disturb you. If you believe the criminal justice system is fair this book will infuriate you.</p> Century hardcover

The Better Angel. Walt Whitman in the Civil War
New York: Oxford University Press 2000. ix 262pp bibliography notes. Or card covers. Whitman's transformative Civil War years and a historically valuable examination of the Union's treatment of the sick and wounded. Whitman rushed south to see his wounded brother. Instead of returning to Brooklyn he spent the remainder of the war visiting wounded soldiers-such was his efect that several soldiers claimed he saved their lives. In witnessing their suffering listening to their understated speech and being always in the presence of death Whitman evolved the new and more direct poetic style that was to culminate in his "When Lilacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom'd". Uncorrected Advance Reading Copy. Trade Paperback. Fine. 8vo. Oxford University Press Paperback
