Douglas W. Freshfield.
The Division of the Alps into Regions.
6 pages. Plus a large fold-out color map, measuring approximately 8 x 12 inches (15 x 31cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. This is a fascinating succint report which discusses the very important conclusions arrived at by the italian Commission and compares them with those previously adopted by Continental English geographers and Alpinists. The report makes specific mention of the boundary between the Central and Eastern Alps being a disputable matter and also outlines in detail the various divisions.

Dr. Skevos [Georges] Zervos
Rhodes and the Dodecanese
8vo, 7 pages, plus list of other related publications. Scarce offprint in publisher's original titled wrappers. Near fine, original condition, scarce. Historically significant, this treatise employs an emphatic declaration of the island nation's unequivocal Greek heritage, to present a compelling solicitation for the re-establishment of its authentic connection to Greece. In itself a testament to the stronghold of Greek allegiance, this document is powerful, laconic, and rare. Since the Classical Period, the Dodecanese have been prey to numerous invasions and annexations, "a bitter martyrdom" as described by the author, who recapitulates the tumultuous history, concluding with the declaration on behalf of his people, and the Dodecanese Statesman Eleutherios Venizelos, "We claim our liberty because we are Greeks now, and have been Greeks for three thousand five hundred years. We demand our liberty and our political union with Greece, our mother country..." The author was the president of the Dodecanesian Delegation at the Peace Conference held in Paris, an active executive committee member of the latter, influential Greek aristocrat, prominent medical professor and scientist. The Paris Peace Conference 1919-1920 was the meeting of the Allied victors following the end of World War I to set the peace terms for the defeated Central Powers following the armistices of 1918. It involved diplomats from more than 32 countries and nationalities. Together, Dr. Zervos and Paris J. Roussos wrote the original conference publications, titled "White book. The Dodecanese; resolution and documents concerning the Dodecanese, 1912-1919" Dr. Zervos further wrote and published circa 1919, "The Dodecanese, the history of the Dodecanese through the ages, its services to mankind and its rights".

DRAKE, Cavendish
Addison's Travels through Italy and Switzerland. (Swisserland) With Travels through France, by Sacheverel Stevens, Gent. With the Remarks of Dr. Smollet, and other Travellers.
Folio measuring approximately 8 x 13 inches. Altogether 58 pages, numbered from 587 to 644, plus 1 engraved map and 4 copper engraved plates. From the original volume. Two substantial travel narratives, and two shorter accounts, complete, as issued consecutively in the First Edition of the esteemed and extensive compilation by Edward Cavendish Drake, published in two-volumes, titled "A New Universal Collection of Authentic and Entertaining Voyages and Travels, from the Earliest Accounts to the Present Time..." and which contained other unrelated travel narratives. These are the original pages printed in 1768. Tear to one engraving, repaired to verso, otherwise in very good condition. Attractively bound in recent green cardstock covers with label. Two early travel narratives featuring beautiful copper engravings, including a map of Italy, illustrations of St. Peter's Basilica and the Ponte Rotto bridge in Rome, Ponte di Augusto in Narni, and a view of Paris. The first recounts a sojourn in Italy and Switzerland by English author Joseph Addison, who visited St. Peter's only 75 years after its completion. Recommended for his skills in Latin versification, Addison was introduced in 1699 to the distinguished Lord Somers and Charles Montagu from whom he obtained a pension of £300 a year, to enable him to travel and qualify himself to serve his Majesty. In the summer of 1699 he crossed into France, where, chiefly for the purpose of learning the language, he remained till the end of 1700. After this Addison spent a year in Italy and describes the customs and sights Sienna, Pisa, Lucca, Florence, Bologna, Parma, Turin and Naples amongst others. In Switzerland, on his way home, he was stopped by receiving notice that he was to attend the army under Prince Eugene, then engaged in the war in Italy, as secretary from the king. But his Whig friends were already tottering in their places; and in March 1702 the death of King William at once drove them from power and put an end to Addison's pension. Indeed Addison asserted that he never received but one year’s payment of it, and that all the other expenses of his travels were defrayed by himself. The second travelogue, compiled by several English 'gentleman' travellers, is an description of early 18th century French customs, and clearly demonstrates the rivalry and hostility that frequently manifests between these two countries. For example, of France the author writes: "They have not even the implements of cleanliness in this country. If there is no cleanliness among these, much less shall we find delicacy, which is the cleanliness of the mind. Indeed they are utter strangers to what we call common decency; amd I could mention high-flavoured instances, at which even a native of Edinburgh would stop his nose." Further includes two brief accounts entitled "A Short Account of Scotland, and the Islands Thereunto Belonging" and "A Concise Description of Ireland".

Drake, H A
CONSTANTINE AND THE BISHOPS; The Politics of Intolerance
The Johns Hopkins University Press. 2000. Hardcover. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. Dustjacket has minor shelfwear and rubbing. Light Bumping to bottom of spine.; Ancient Society and History; 1.68 x 8.76 x 8.78 Inches; 632 pages; Historians who viewed imperial Rome in terms of a conflict between pagans and Christians have often regarded the emperor Constantine's conversion as the triumph of Christianity over paganism. But in Constantine and the Bishops historian H. A. Drake offers a fresh and more nuanced understanding of Constantine's rule and especially of his relations with Christians. Constantine Drake suggests was looking not only for a god in whom to believe but also a policy he could adopt. Uncovering the political motivations behind Constantine's policies Drake shows how those policies were constructed to ensure the stability of the empire and fulfill Constantine's imperial duty in securing the favor of heaven. Despite the emperor's conversion to Christianity Drake concludes Rome remained a world filled with gods and with men seeking to depose rivals from power. A book for students and scholars of ancient history and religion Constantine and the Bishops shows how Christian belief motivated and gave shape to imperial rule. . 0801862183 .
