Octavo blue cloth hardcover gilt letters gilt illustration to upper cover xiv vi 175 pp. Very Good with sunning to edges and former-owner bookplate; in a Good dust jacket with edgewear with includes light chipping. From dust jacket: The great story of aviation and the direction in which it is going is the story of our future -- a future which will be written in terms of either winged peace or winged death. It’s a story which few men could tell with the authority and conviction of ‘Billy’ Bishop. Bishop learned aviation the hard way. In the cockpit of a World War I flying crate he became the greatest Allied ace by destroying 72 German aircraft. In the years between the wars he remained actively interested in aviation -- both military and commercial -- and kept a wary eye on the growing air might of Germany which he was sure we would have to fight again. When World War II broke Canada became the heart of Britain’s air-training and air-transport system and ‘Billy’ Bishop has played a vital role in this great program. Now at the climax of his career he has undertaken a new job and rendered what may well be his greatest service to aviation. He has poured into an utterly fascinating book the past the present and -- most of all -- the future of flight. He has told the story of aviation from Kitty Hawk to the B-29 Superfortresses much of it in terms of his personal experiences. He shows us how our world has already been changed geographically socially economically politically; how these changes will be either for great good or for desperate evil. He makes us aware of the new world map with its limitless directions and its textbook-shattering implications. He shows us the new routes over which we will either trade or fight find peace or destruction. Through all of Bishop’s stirring account written with burning urgency runs a zeal to make us understand the realities of world aviation today. The proved possibilities of stratospheric flight rocket and jet-propulsion have already rendered every plane now in the air obsolete. New York to London in three hours is assured. Tomorrow’s air age is here! The Viking Press, 1944. hardcover books

Also signed by Manuel Rodriguez 1697 - 1772 -- military leader on the Coahuila-Texas frontier esteemed explorer and one of the greatest Indian fighters from Texas. After the departure of Jacinto de Barrios y Jaurequi in February of 1768 he became brief interim governor and military commandant of the Province. Rare signature as Commandant and Governor of the Province. According to the Texas State Historical Association "It was not until recently that archivists were aware that Rodriguez was a Governor.a fact scarcely noted by historians. Horizontal fold; two holes; smudges in the left margin. Very good- condition. De Croix 1699 - 1786 was the Viceroy of New Spain Mexico who served during the period of Great Turbulence. The sole purpose of his five-year administration 1766 - 1771 was absolute obedience to the king whom he always referred to as "Mi amo." In 1767 he expelled the Jesuits from the colony removing them from their Monasteries and Colleges allowing them to leave with scarcely the clothes on their backs. These measures provoked a rebellion in which the Viceroy dealt severely with the rebels proclaiming censorship of literary and scientific publications 1768 and hanging the leaders of the uprising. No sooner had opposition been eliminated de Croix turned his attention toward the war-seeking Apache and Comanche Indian tribes financing and authorizing an expedition led by Captain de Galvez into Nueva Vizcaya whereby the Indians were soundly defeated. In March 1768 following the slow-downs boycotts and disturbances in the mines of Guanajuato and Pachuca over the low wages paid to the miners de Croix stunned the Colony by siding with the miners and forcing the mine owners to agree to an increase in wages. His actions were deemed "one of the most significant social reforms in the New World" at that time. unknown books

Fine woodcut printer’s device on title woodcut port. on verso of the dedicatee Henri III & several woodcut illus. in the text. 22 p.l. 558 5 pp. Folio fine 18th-cent. marbled calf joints & ends of spine very carefully repaired arms in gilt on both covers of the great bibliophile. the duc d’Aumont triple gilt fillet round sides spine richly gilt red morocco lettering piece on spine a.e.g. Paris: A. l’Angelier 1584. First edition a fine copy from the library of the great bibliophile the duc d’Aumont 1709-82 one of the outstanding book and art collectors of his age with his arms in gilt on both covers. This is the first French national bibliography a monumental work of fundamental importance for the history of French literature and scholarship. It has remained an indispensable reference and source book to this day as attested by Brunet Petzholdt and Besterman. The roughly 3000 authors are arranged alphabetically by their given names and La Croix du Maine gives succinct bio-bibliographical information for each. Our edition contains a remarkable proposal not reprinted in the 18th-century edition for the formation of a French national royal library housed in about 100 “noble” bookcases of which a most attractive illustration is printed on p. 511. This woodcut appears to be the first illustration of library furniture in a printed book. La Croix du Maine also urges the arrangement of the books by a system that is quite close to a decimal classification. La Croix du Maine 1552-92 began this bibliography at the age of 17 and in the process accumulated a large library. A Protestant sympathizer he was assassinated at 40 and was therefore unable to issue further volumes as he had planned. A fine copy. This copy appeared in the auction lot 2977 of the library of the duc d’Aumont which was sold in January 1783 in Paris by De Bure. ⧠Besterman The Beginnings of Systematic Bibliography pp. 24-25.
