1863ref. 1000428vo original brown cloth spine gilt letters illustrated with 39 engraved plates xvi 261 3 blank plus 39 leaves with illustrations. Spine ends chipped top hinge weak edges rubbed endpapers browned light foxing. This work was originally published in 1851 and followed with a second edition in 1862. The third edition contains a seven page addendum on the "Service of a 15-inch gun mounted on a centre-pintle iron carriage" that appears to have been omitted from the previous edition. The 1863 edition also appears to have been published hastily as the added chapter on the 15-inch gun is not listed in the table of contents. Also the spine on the volume is still dated 1862. This work was also reissued by the Confederate States in 1861 and 1862. The illustrations were engraved by D. McClelland after sketches by Lieutenant R.H. Rush of the 2nd Artillery Battalion.

George Montagu (1753?1815), English army officer and naturalist. In 1770 he joined the army as an Ensign in the 15th Regiment of Foot and In December 1775 George was promoted to the rank of Captain on the same day that the regiment was ordered to America. He resigned his commission as a Captain in 1777, but eventually rose to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel in the Wiltshire Militia. This, his first publication, is little known and is rare, he is better known for his pioneering two-volume Ornithological Dictionary; or Alphabetical Synopsis of British Birds of 1802, which for the first time accurately defined the status of Britain's birds. He is remembered today for species such as the Montagu's harrier, named for him. ESTC locating 3 UK copies (BL, Cambridge and St. Andrews), with just 1 copy located in North America (Smithsonian).

1861ref. GITj890ENSEMBLE DE 23 LETTRES (format 21cm x 13cm) ENTIEREMENT REDIGEES ET SIGNEES PAR HENRY DUPUY de LOME (1816-1885) ingénieur militaire du Génie Maritime, alors Conseiller d'Etat en charge du budget de la Marine devant les Chambres, TOUTES ADRESSEES A L'AMIRAL LOUIS HENRI de GUEYDON (1809-1886), Préfet Maritime de Brest à cette époque. Elles se composent d'un feuillet double (soit 4pp entièrement ou partiellement rédigées, 4 d'entre elles comptant un double feuillet supplémentaire et 1 avec 2 doubles feuillets supplémentaires. Les marges sont étroites ou absentes, petits interlignes, écriture fine, rapide, dense, bien compréhensible (après une petite adaptation). 4 lettres rédigées en 1861-1862, outre des recherches de capitaux, ont trait à des essais de nouveaux canons inventés par Antoine Treuille de Beaulieu (1809-1886) et leur adaptation à la Marine (essais réalisés à bord de la Junon) et des modifications acceptées pour la "Magenta". 4 lettres datées 1865 annoncent une visite de Dupuy de Lôme à Brest à titre privé, 1 recommandation pour la venue à Brest de Xavier Raymond (1812-1886) Journaliste et Homme de Lettres de la Revue des Deux Mondes et 1 de remerciements pour le bon accueil fait à celui-ci, 1 où il est question du voyage de Napoléon III en Algérie avec son itinéraire au départ de Marseille et d'une rencontre projetée avec le Tsar avant l'embarquement. 2 lettres (1865-1866) évoquent un projet de réunion des escadres française et anglaise à Brest, prodiguent des conseil à l'Amiral de Gueydon pour qu'il obtienne sa nomination de Commandant de l'escadre d'évolution en remplacement de l'Amiral Bouët-Willaumez (ici nommé seulement Bouët), son rival étant l'Amiral de Chabannes, il promet enfin de continuer à soutenir le projet de réaménagement de l'Arsenal de Brest même lorsqu'il n'y sera plus Préfet. En effet, les 13 lettres écrites en 1864-1865 nous éclairent sur les efforts nécessaires et les difficultés rencontrées pour l'aboutissement de ce projet de grande envergure initié par l'Amiral de Gueydon: obtenir l'adhéson des nombreuses commissions et de ministres (finances, travaux publics, guerre, marine), ainsi que le soutien continu de Napoléon III; négocier au plus juste avec les entrepreneurs dont un M. Maublanc dont le nom revient souvent; convaincre le Conseil Municipal de Brest et autres notables de l'intérêt de céder des terrains au détriment du port de commerce; échanges au sujet des nombreuses modifications nécessaires à apporter aux plans initiaux concernant ici saloirs, radiers, balardeaux, profondeur des bassins, installation de l'avant-port ou petite rade, aménagement des quais Jean Bart et de Tourville. Le tout ponctué de mises au point et justifications de Dupuy de Lôme car les courriers officiels et privés se croisent, arrivent en retard, sont oubliés parfois sur le bureau d'un Ministre absorbé par d'autres tâches. BEL ENSEMBLE D'UNE RARE FRAICHEUR (à peine une petite coupure sans manque en tête et au bas d'une lettre, sans manque ni gêne pour la lecture). EXCELLENT TEMOIGNAGE SUR L'UN DES GRANDS CHANTIERS DU SECOND EMPIRE.

1918ref. 57357Fort Sill OK. ca. 1918. Original Photos from the Early Days of the Artillery Training School at Fort Sill A rare commercially produced photo album rendered unique by the addition of thirty original photographs of the U.S. Army Artillery Training School in Fort Sill Oklahoma at the end of World War I. The first section begins with a printed one-page "Short History of the Fort Sill Military Reservation" and consists of mounted photographs in printed frames with printed captions. This printed portion of album is divided into three parts with individual titles: "Fort Sill Oklahoma: The World's Largest Artillery Training Post"; "Medicine Park: Southwest Oklahoma's Pleasure Resort"; and "Some Views of the Comanche and Apache Indians." The second section of the album consists of blank pages for personal photographs here filled with thirty photographs with occasional manuscript captions supplied by an unnamed Army corporal. In addition to photographs of camp buildings artillery emplacements and scenery in and around Fort Sill the album features a number of photographs of the 1918 Victory Day Parade as well as a "pageant" held at the fort where members of the Comanche and Kiowa tribes participated in reenactments of the early frontier days at the fort. Fort Sill was also the birthplace of U.S. combat aviation in 1915 and a few photographs show some of the earliest military planes. The personal photos at the rear of the album include a number of individual soldiers a handful of alternate views of parades and events and the owner's actual cloth uniform stripes pasted to the final page. A rare and interesting look at the early days of a major American military base at the conclusion of World War I. OCLC records two copies of a similar souvenir album which also covers Camp Doniphan but does not locate the present version anywhere. Forty-one mounted photographs with printed captions and an additional thirty original mounted photographs some with manuscript captions most about 2½ x 4½ inches plus pasted-in corporal's stripes on final album leaf. Oblong quarto. Original printed thick wrappers with wrapper title "Souvenir from Fort Sill Oklahoma" tied with string. Spine ends chipped edge wear to wrappers. Photographs lightly faded occasional adhesive residue or paper defects particularly in latter half. Overall very good. hardcover
