‎Our Wonderful Progress: The World's Triumphant Knowledge and Works: a Vast Treasury and Compendium of the Achievements of Man and the Works of Nature‎

‎Dark blue cloth boards with gilt titles and decoration to spine. Book shows general wear, marking and scuffing to back cover. Front cover is fairly well preserved with light edge and corner wear. Hinges are both worn to intact binding mesh and loose. Page block still quite solid, with no marking of any kind to interior/text. Title page reads "Five comprehevsive books in one volume": The Industrial Age; The World's Science and Invention; Marvelous Peculiarities and Noteworthy Facts of All Nations and Countries of the World; Amazing Wonders of Nature; and Things We All Should Know. "Nearly" 400 photographic illustrations. A fine example of the boyish exuberance of the beginning of the industrial age, when the triumphant White Man and his Noble God were destined to rule the known world and all its native wonders as toys for the expansion of empire, no mind to the rape of the earth and any non-Christians who happen to live there. Cut the giant forests to build ships! We grow great like a virus!‎

‎* Erste Ausgabe in Deutsch ! Selten ! ----- George John Whyte-Melville (19 June 1821 ? 5 December 1878) was a Scottish novelist much concerned with field sports, and also a poet. He took a break in the mid-1850s to serve as an officer of Turkish irregular cavalry in the Crimean War. George John Whyte-Melville was born in 1821, at Mount Melville near St Andrews, Scotland, as a son of Major John Whyte-Melville and Lady Catherine Anne Sarah Osborne and a grandson on his mother's side of the 5th Duke of Leeds. His father was a well-known sportsman and Captain of The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews. George was tutored privately at home by the young Robert Lee, then educated at Eton, before entering the army with a commission in the 93rd Highlanders in 1839. He exchanged into the Coldstream Guards in 1846,: xiii and retired with the rank of captain in 1849. Whyte-Melville married the Hon. Charlotte Hanbury-Bateman in 1847, and they had one daughter, Florence Elizabeth, who went on to marry Clotworthy Skeffington, 11th Viscount Massereene. His marriage was not a happy one,[6]: xv and this led to the "constantly recurring note of melancholy" that runs through all of his novels, "especially in reference to women".[6]: xiv His wife also was not happy with the marriage. In 1849 Whyte-Melville was the subject of a summons for maintenance by Elizabeth Gibbs, described as "a smartly-dressed and interesting looking young woman", who alleged that he was the father of her son. She stated that she had known Whyte-Melville since December 1846 and that she had given birth to his child on 15 September 1847. The Magistrate read some letters stated by Gibbs to be from Whyte-Melville, in one of which the writer expressed his wish that Gibbs would fix the paternity unto some other person as he did not wish to pay for the pleasure of others. The Magistrate found for the defendant as the written evidence could not be proved to be in Whyte-Melville's hand, but allowed the complainant to apply for a further summons in order to obtain proof.[9] Gibbs testified that since the child was born, she had received £10 from Whyte-Melville, and he had offered her two sums of £5, on condition that she surrender his letters to her, and sign a disclaimer on further claims. The case continued on 25 September 1849. Gibbs' landlady, supported by her servant, testified that Gibbs was in the habit at the time of receiving visits from other gentlemen, particularly two, one of whom had paid for the nurse and supported Gibbs during her confinement. The magistrate said that there had definitely been perjury on one side or the other and dismissed the summons. After translating some Horace in 1850, Whyte-Melville published his first novel, Digby Grand, in 1852, which was a success. He went on to publish 21 other novels and became a popular writer about hunting. Most of his heroes and heroines ? Digby Grand, Tilbury Nogo, the Honourable Crasher, Mr Sawyer, Kate Coventry, Mrs Lascelles ? ride to hounds, or are would-be members of the hunt. Some characters reappear in different novels, such as the supercilious stud groom, the dark and wary steeple-chaser, or the fascinating sporting widow. Bones and I, or The Skeleton at Home, is an anomaly in his work, as it is far from the realms of the hunting field or historical romance. It centres on an urban recluse living in a small, modern villa in a London cul de sac, looking out on "the dead wall at the back of an hospital". His most famous lyric is also unusual in its unexpected melancholy ? the words to Paolo Tosti's song "Good-bye!" Several of his novels are historical, The Gladiators being the best known. Whyte-Melville also wrote Sarchedon, a historical novel set in Ancient Babylon. He also published volumes of poetry, including Songs and Verses (1869) and Legend of the True Cross (1873). However, it is for his portrayal of contemporary sporting society that he is most regarded. Henry Hawley Smart is said to have taken Whyte-Melville as one of his models when he too set out to be a sporting novelist. Mrs. Lovett Cameron (1844?1921) acknowledged that her novel A Grass Country was inspired by Whyte-Melville.[15]: 102 He also served as one of the two models for the writing of Mrs. Robert Jocelyn.[15]: 336 He was the first person to encourage Florence Montgomery (1843?1923) to publish her children's stories,[8]: 282 and persuaded her to do so.: 443 The novelist John Galsworthy admired the "bright things" in Whyte-Melville's novels, and wrote that Digby Grand was Jolyon Forsyte's first idol (in the Forsyte Saga). The catch phrase for which he is best remembered comes from a song about hunting: "Drink, Puppy, Drink". This recurs also in The Flashman Papers by George MacDonald Fraser, as a frequently mentioned favourite song of the anti-hero. In 1876, Whyte-Melville penned the rarely attributed, but widely recognized opening line to the short poem The Object of a Life: "To eat, drink, and be merry, because to-morrow we die." When the Crimean War broke out, Whyte-Melville went out as a volunteer major into the Turkish irregular cavalry,[3] but this was the only break in his literary career. Whyte-Melville lost his life in 1878 while hunting with the Vale of White Horse Hunt, falling as he galloped over a ploughed field at Bradon Pond, Charlton, Wiltshire. The Dublin Evening Mail said that it was "strange that he, so gallant and accomplished a horseman, who had dared danger with a light heart so often, should have perished, not while jumping a difficult fence, but simply while galloping across a ploughed field." He, a skilled horseman, had often boasted that he had only fallen once in the twenty years from 1847 to 1867. He had moved to Tetbury, Gloucestershire, in about 1875, the better to follow the Beaufort and Vale of White Horse hunts. George Whyte-Melville was buried in the churchyard of St Mary's, Tetbury, within a few feet of his property, Barton Abbotts. When he rented the house, a friend criticised the choice because it was so near the graveyard. Whyte-Melville replied that perhaps it was, but that it was a good choice for a hunting man, as his friends would not have to carry him far.[6]: xviii His estate was valued at under £70,000.

‎* Wenn man ganz unten angekommen ist, bedarf es manchmal nur noch eines kleinen Tropfens, der das Fass zum Überlaufen bringt. Auch Tom Bishop macht diese Erfahrung: unbeliebt, schlecht in der Schule, tollpatschig und schüchtern. Als er und sein Freund Franklin schließlich von einer Gang zusammengeschlagen werden, beschließt er sein Schicksal selbst in die Hand zu nehmen. Wie er das machen kann, erfährt Tom, als ihm ein etwas in die Jahre gekommener Unbekannter hilft, sich gegen einen weiteren Übergriff der Schlägertypen zur Wehr zu setzen. Der Alte beherrscht nämlich eine außergewöhnliche Kampftechnik, die nur im fernen China gelehrt wird. Matt Davis nimmt Tom als Schüler auf und erkennt wohl schon sehr früh, welche enormen Kräfte in ihm schlummern. Plötzlich taucht ein maskierter Mann in Schwarz - ein alter Bekannter aus Matts Vergangenheit - auf und will ihn töten. Danach werde er alles Gute auf der Welt vernichten, lauten die erschreckenden Worte der dunklen Gestalt. Durch einen Trick verschafft Matt sich und Tom etwas Zeit. Das weltweit größte Kampfsportturnier soll die Entscheidung bringen. Was wird Tom und seinen Sensai dort erwarten? Werden sie der dunklen Bedrohung Einhalt gebieten können? Wer verbirgt sich hinter der Maske?‎
