1821Volume in 8º, brossura muta (piatto anteriore staccato), titolo manoscritto al tassello al dorso, bianca, occhiello, frontespizio, XXXI, 456 pp.. Ottima biografia del Cromwell e delle sue Teste Tonde, puritani "integralisti" come si direbbe oggi, ed in contempo ottimo trattato sul periodo più buio della monarchia inglese, con la morte del primo Carlo Stuart, decapitato per ordine del Parlamento. Tragica invero l'epoca, e tragici gli eventi. Nella sua cupa grandezza, la figura del Lord Protettore d'Inghilterra giganteggia ed è protagonista. In ottima lingua, ben scritto e stampato, il volume è presentato in buone condizioni, poche macchiette ed arrossamenti dovuti al tipo di carta, qualche menda d'uso. In barbe, non comune, interessante.

Il fascicolo misura 28,7x19,7 cm. Il fascicolo contiene la vita completa del personaggio trattato. L'opera ripercorre la vita e le gesta di Oliver Cromwell (Huntingdon, 25 aprile 1599 - Londra, 3 settembre 1658) che fu un grande condottiero e politico inglese. Dopo essere stato alla testa delle forze che abbatterono temporaneamente la monarchia inglese, instaurando la repubblica del Commonwealth of England, governò Inghilterra, Scozia e Irlanda con il titolo di Lord Protettore, dal 16 dicembre 1653 fino alla morte, avvenuta probabilmente a causa di malaria. Dopo la sepoltura la sua salma fu riesumata e sottoposta al rituale dell'esecuzione postuma.

From Wikipedia: In 1843, Carlyle published his anti-democratic Past and Present, with its doctrine of ordered work. In it, he influentially called attention to what he termed the "Condition of England" saying "England is full of wealth...supply for human want in every kind; yet England is dying of inanition". Past and Present combines medieval history with criticism of 19th-century British society. Carlyle wrote it in seven weeks as a respite from the harassing labour of writing Cromwell. He was inspired by the recently published Chronicles of the Abbey of Saint Edmund's Bury, which had been written by Jocelin of Brakelond at the close of the 12th century. This account of a medieval monastery had taken Carlyle's fancy, and he drew upon it in order to contrast the monks' reverence for work and heroism with the sham leadership of his own day.

2013Oscuro gentiluomo di campagna e membro del Parlamento senza esperienza militare, Oliver Cromwell ideò quell'esercito di nuova concezione, il New Model Army, che sconfisse re Carlo I, poi giustiziato nel 1649 "per aver dichiarato guerra al suo popolo". Le sue vittorie su Scozia e Irlanda diedero vita a una repubblica unita con un unico Parlamento, a capo del quale c'era lui, in qualità di Lord Protettore, avendo rifiutato la corona offertagli. Fu il più significativo e potente capo di stato della Gran Bretagna: fondò l'esercito, la marina e l'impero, incoraggiò la ricerca scientifica, impose la tolleranza religiosa, richiamò gli ebrei, abolì la Camera dei Lord, i vescovi anglicani e i tribunali feudali, dando al suo Paese gli strumenti per diventare un moderno stato parlamentare e una potenza mondiale.

1907The original individual volumes. Each volume usually consists of: at least a 26 page text; frequently enhanced with woodcut devices and ornaments (many designed by Samuel Warner), and portraits and plates; and often with ads for the products of the Roycroft Shop (furniture, brass, books, bindings, etc.); as well as some commercial ads (like Pears' Soap). Some printing in red and black. 8vo. 15.5 x 20. 5 cm. Uncut. Sewn into original printed wraps, as issued. Fine condition. Hubbard (1856-1915), was a prolific writer and a tireless entrepreneur who is most famous today as the founder and guiding lig h t of the Roycroft printing and craft shops. These were based on the Hammersmith arts and crafts complex of William Morris, but with many American and Hubbard-ian twists and turns. Until his death on t he S.S. Lusitania, he was one of the most dynamic and famous men in the world. On his first trip abroad his letters home were mostly travelogue, and they became the basis for his first magazine eff ort . He sold Putnam's the idea of putting out a brief 'Little Journey' biographical sketch on a monthly basis. Later, when he established his own print shop, he took over the whole project. He also p rint ed and published two national opinion magazines, the 'Fra' and the 'Philistine'. He was also responsible for the famed 'A Message to Garcia'. "The graveyards are full of people the World could no t do without" -- Elbert Hubbard, 'Epigrams' (1911)
