Binding tight and square text clean bright and unmarked. 1910 Hard Cover. 235 pp. Charles Russell Baron Russell born November 10 1832 Newry County Down Ireland - died August 10 1900 London England lord chief justice of England from June 1894 until his death. A formidable courtroom advocate he became widely admired as a strong but moderate judge. Russell practiced law in Ireland from 1854 and in England usually at Liverpool from 1859. In 1872 he was appointed a queen's counsel. A Liberal Party member of the House of Commons from 1880 to 1894 he served as attorney general under Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone in 1886 and again in 1892 - 94. Although he was sympathetic to Irish nationalism he urged the establishment of an Irish Parliament subordinate to England's rather than the granting of Home Rule which would have given the Irish wider power. In 1888 - 90 he gained fame as principal defense counsel before the Parnell Commission by discrediting much of the testimony against the Irish nationalist leader Charles Stewart Parnell especially that based on a letter forged by a journalist Richard Pigott. Created a lord of appeal in May 1894 Russell then was appointed lord chief justice of England on the death of John Duke Baron Coleridge June 14 1894. His reputation as a great judge was secured by his conduct of the trial of L.S. Jameson and other British subjects who had abortively invaded the Boer state of the Transvaal December 1895 - January 1896. In 1899 he participated in the successful arbitration of the Venezuela - British Guiana boundary dispute that had threatened to lead to war between Great Britain and the United States. - Britannica The United States Catholic Historical Society hardcover books

Marbled endpapers. Tissue-guarded engraved frontispiece portrait in first volume. Charles V 1500-1558 was a Fleming royal of the Austrian House of Habsburg and the Castillan House of Trastamara who ruled the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation from 1519 as Emperor Charles V the Spanish Empire from 1516 as King Charles I and the Low Countries from 1506 as Duke Charles II. The Spanish conquest of the Aztecs and Incas and the German colonisation of Venezuela both occurred during his reign. Charles V revitalized the medieval concept of the universal monarchy of Charlemagne and travelled from city to city with no single fixed capital: overall he spent 28 years in the Habsburg Netherlands primarily Bruxelles 18 years in Spain notably Toledo and Extremadura and 9 years in Germany. "After four decades of incessant warfare with the Kingdom of France the Ottoman Empire and the Protestants Charles V abandoned his multi-national project with a series of abdications between 1554 and 1556 in favor of his son Philip II of Spain and his own brother Ferdinand of Austria. The personal union of his European and American territories spanning over nearly 4 million square kilometres 1.545000 square miles was the first collection of realms to be defined as "the empire on which the sun never sets."

The text lavishly illustrated with tipped-on black-and-white plates and color plates charts and diagrams has been divided into several parts. From Roberto Salvini eminent professor of the University of Florence comes the grand account of the whole and its parts; from Ettore Camesasca a distinguished younger scholar comes an exacting study of the literary and critical sources that have accumulated since 1541 when the completed Chapel was unveiled concerning each scene and figure as well as ceremonies architectural aspects and contemporary letters poems and drawings; Professor Carlo Ragghianti of the University of Pisa contributes a summation of the system of decoration. Descriptions historical background documents and literature and great events are covered and there is a full apparatus of notes and bibliography. The second volume is devoted to extraordinary full-page color platesseveral of them multipaged fold-outs. Not only are whole walls and ceilings shown in stunning totality but actual-size details of the frescoes make it possible to examine these with cinematic clarity.
