The Workers in American History
234 pages. Footnotes. "Few histories today give the reader any adequate idea of how the toilers lived, struggled and died in America...

Chapters include: The European Background; Land Conquests in America; White Slavery in the Colonies; The White Slave Trade; Rebellions of the Poor; General Status of the Workers; Causes of the American Revolution; The Constitutional Convention, a Conspiracy; The Period of Struggle. Prior owner's details inside front board and on back free endpaper along with contemporary bookseller's ink stamp. Moderate quantity of pencil markings and red pencil underlining to contents.

The Library Atlas; Consisting of One Hundred and Ten [110] Maps Modern, Historical, and Classical Geography, &c.; With Descriptive Letterpress
214, [110 maps], 142 [index] pages. "The continual extension of commerce into new channels, the rapid growth of the colonial possessions of the British Empire, the recent territorial changes in several kingdoms, both of Europe and Asia, and the many discoveries of late years in various parts of the world, have created a demand for a new treatise in Descriptive and Political Geography." - Preface. "A capital atlas of maps clearly printed in colours, and at the very low price of one guinea. The maps are not only ancient, modern and historical, out of the Northern and Southern Constellations, and of the Planetary System - indeed, all that can be wanted in an ordinary library. This excellent book meets with our hearty approval." - The Publishers' Circular, August 3, 1875, p.526. All maps in colour with with many hinged to fold out. Includes indices with upwards of 50,000 names. Pattern of tanning marks upon endpapers suggests boards once bore a protective cover, which would account for their still brilliant gilt lettering. Narrow opening along front hinge. Dark maroon cloth decorated in black over bevelled boards is worn through along bottom edges, corners and, in spots, along backstrip. Most maps numbered in light pencil. Fold of World Map [#2] mostly open with two-inch opening affecting northern Europe. G.P.

MOHAMMED PASHA, (The eldest son of Amir Abd al-Qadir), (19th century).
[MODERN JUGURTHA VS THE FRENCH COLONIZATION IN NORTH AFRICA] Abd-el-Kader: Emir de l'Afrique du Nord, défenseur de la nationalité Arabe, protecteur des Christiens opprimes. Sa biographie. Offerte au profit de la souscription nationale de la Flotte Ottomane par le fils aîne de l'Emir Abd-el-Kader, le général de division Mohammed Pacha. [i.e. Abd-el-Kader: Emir of North Africa, defender of Arab nationality, protector of oppressed Christians. His biography. Offered for the benefit of the national subscription of the Ottoman Fleet by the eldest son of the Emir Abd-el-Kader, Major General Mohammed Pasha].
Fine French Original wrappers. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In French. 10 p., 2 unnumbered b/w plates. Extremely rare early brief French edition of "Kitâb tu?fat al-zâ'ir fî târîkh al-Jazâ'ir wa-al-Amir 'Abd al-Qâdir" by Amir Abd al-Qadir's eldest son Mohammad Pasha, originally in Arabic in 1903 in 2 volumes, published for "the benefit of the national subscription of the Ottoman Fleet", including a brief biography of Abd al-Qadir, was an Algerian religious and military leader who led a struggle against the French colonial invasion of Algiers in the early 19th century. This pamphlet including Amir Abd al-Qadir's biography written by his eldest son Mohammad Pasha has two b/w plates showing a photograph of al-Qadir and his medal that the municipality of Paris had struck in 1862, in memory of the banquet offered on behalf of the Parisian population to the Emir Abd-el-Kader. Abd al-Qadir al-Jazairi (1808-1883), known as the Emir Abdelkader, Abdelkader ibn Muhieddine or Abdelkader El Hassani El Djazairi, was an Algerian religious and military leader who led a struggle against the French colonial invasion of Algiers in the early 19th century. As an Islamic scholar and Sufi who unexpectedly found himself leading a military campaign, he built up a collection of Algerian tribesmen that for many years successfully held out against one of the most advanced armies in Europe. His consistent regard for what would now be called "human rights", especially as regards his Christian opponents, drew widespread admiration, and a crucial intervention to save the Christian community of Damascus from a massacre in 1860 brought honors and awards from around the world. Within Algeria, his efforts to unite the country against French invaders saw him hailed as the "modern Jugurtha", and his ability to combine religious and political authority has led to his being acclaimed as the "Saint among the Princes, the Prince among the Saints". Amir Abd al-Qadir (Emir Abdelkader or Abdelkader El Hassani El Djazairi), (1808-1883), was a venerated Algerian Islamic scholar and a military leader who led a collective resistance against the mid-nineteenth century French colonial invasion of Algeria. He is remembered today as one of the nineteenth century's most inspiring leaders for his humane treatment of Christian opponents during Algeria's anti-colonial struggle and for leading an intervention to rescue the Christian community in Damascus from certain massacres in the midst of sectarian riots in 1860. Raised in his father's zawiya, he excelled as a student, memorizing the Qur'an by the age of 14, and studying the Islamic religious sciences as well as subjects such as philosophy, medicine, and mathematics. He was especially known as a gifted orator who outshone his peers in the recitation of poetry and in delivering religious talks. His father, a notable spiritual leader affiliated with the Qadiriyya order, recognized his son's precociousness and cast a leadership role upon him shortly after the invasion of Algeria by France in 1830. After his father, citing his old age, declined to lead a tribal campaign against the French in 1832, Abd al-Qadir found himself elected Emir, or Commander of the Faithful, to organize a resistance that, within a year under his leadership, would unite Algeria's western tribes. Emir Abd al-Qadir commenced a fifteen-year military struggle during which he often kept the French forces-which boasted one of the world's most advanced armies-at bay through skillful guerilla tactics, strategic negotiation and treaties, and visionary state-building. All the while, he demonstrated chivalry and compassion toward his opponents and allies alike, taking care, for instance, to respect the individual religious beliefs of his prisoners of war and also purposefully integrating Jews and Christians into his new state. At one point, he released his French prisoners because he did not have the means to feed them adequately. But, by 1847, partly due to ruthless scor
