Stratford-on-Avon. He is considered the greatest playwright who ever lived. Life His father John Shakespeare was successful in the leather business during Shakespeare's early childhood but later met with financial difficulties. During his prosperous years his father was also involved in municipal affairs holding the offices of alderman and bailiff during the 1560s. While little is known of Shakespeare's boyhood he probably attended the grammar school in Stratford where he would have been educated in the classics particularly Latin grammar and literature. Whatever the veracity of Ben Jonson's famous comment that Shakespeare had "small Latine and less Greeke" much of his work clearly depends on a knowledge of Roman comedy ancient history and classical mythology. In 1582 Shakespeare married Anne Hathaway eight years his senior and pregnant at the time of the marriage.

1879réf. 190151London: The London Printing and Publishing Company Limited 1879-81. An attractive visual record of India First edition thus based on Martin's The Indian Empire 1858-61 but with a new introduction taking in recent developments in the Great Game volume III closing with the conclusion of the Second Afghan War 1878-80 and General Roberts's entry into Kandahar. The Dublin-born writer and civil servant Robert Montgomery Martin c.1802-1868 wrote extensively on colonial matters "his life was dominated by a self-appointed task - the study of the British empire which Martin saw in terms of a vast free-trade area of new territories in allegiance to the British crown" ODNB. He had first-hand experience of India moving to Calcutta in 1828 as a surgeon where for a short time he edited the Bengal Herald. All of his writings were "influenced by his practical Christianity and by his association with leading intellectuals. He opposed duelling suttee and slavery advocated the abolition of flogging and was active in the work of the Aborigines Protection Society. At a time when some questioned the value of the empire Martin was its spokesman" favouring "a reformed colonial policy" ibid. 6 vols quarto. 100 steel-engraved plates with tissue guards of portraits views and battle scenes two double-page colour maps; title pages printed in red and black; letterpress printed in double columns. Original green sand-grain cloth over bevelled boards gilt lettered spines covers with ornamental panel in black to front covers and blind to back covers yellow-coated endpapers.

Signed on the title page in blue ink by the film’s star Henry Silva using his name as well as that of his character Johnny Cool. Accompanying is the screenplay creation archive belonging to the film’s producer Milton Ebbins consisting of 335 pages of drafts and rewrites used in creating the screenplay consisting of original ribbon typescript carbon typescript and typed pasteups. With extensive pencil rewrites corrections and commentary about the direction of the screenplay on many of the pages. Very good condition. Considered one of the classics of neo Film Noir the film was directed by William Asher and starred Henry Silva in the title role Elizabeth Montgomery Richard Anderson Jim Backus Joey Bishop Sammy Davis Jr. and Telly Savalas. The film tells the story of the lives and loves of Italian and American gangsters. A very strange and usual crime film that is even more remarkable in that director William Asher is best remembered for previously directing the largest number of episodes 107 of the great comedy classic - I Love Lucy. Filming Johnny Cool was a 180 degree turn for the director. An amazing archive showing in detail the details and lengths that were taken to craft the screenplay and such a collection is rarely found dealing with a significant film.

1923réf. 0007012ASEA ABOARD THE S.S. MONGOLIA EUROPE. Good. 1923. On offer is a fascinating original manuscript travel journal of a young woman's ocean cruise from New York to Europe and a month-long tour of the continent. What makes this journal particularly interesting for the reader should they be researchers or historians of America's post World War I ascendancy is the specific regard the author has for America's social construct in the era of the Roaring 20s. The author is Virginia L. Montgomery writes very well though with a certain air of haughtiness or arrogance to her writing as examples below will illustrate. In some respects it is an unabashed cry of American exceptionalism exemplifying the term 'Ugly American'. In the 19th century Mark Twain wrote about The Innocents Abroad and perhaps it is no coincidence that Montgomery refers to herself and her 2 travelling companions as "the Innocents' " p. 8 Montgomery travels with her sister Maude and a girlfriend Vergue Criswell. They are referred to in the journal as M and V but are identified from the passenger manifest included within. From the very limited information available about Criswell we may suppose that they are in their mid-to-late 20's and living in the Providence RI area. In her opening 'Introduction' she maintains that they will have a right to "crow over our less fortunate neighbours". In the 2nd paragraph she states "There is more Tradition behind the rising curtain of civilization in America than in any other country in the world. . Was there not more Tradition in the valiant little band of Pilgrims . than in the mighty efforts of Alexander.' She ends the Introduction with this exclamation: Tradition backed by the principles of right and justice has made America the greatest country in the world. No wonder it will be hard to judge Europe by American eyes and morals. And so the perspective of this journal is cast. She describes in detail their journey across the Atlantic on board S.S. Mongolia. Their descriptions are colourful and include a significant amount of commentary not flattering about crew and other passengers. Our especial cabin steward a little sawed off wizened she-man named Pierre or Harry was most solicitous. p. 6 The Captain appeared today and I wasn't particularly impressed. So did the ship's doctor a broken down rummy effect and the purser a sissy looking fellow as full of conceit as the ocean is swells. Germans and English! Ye Gods What a mixture! Thank God I was born in America! With the American complex p. 13 Although her language gets rather florid in many places her descriptions of countryside in Europe are quite colourful: The fields were a riot of color. Poppies added their crimson splashes to the gold of ripened wheat . p.26 Descriptions of museums palaces cathedrals and other points of interest are well described and can leave the reader with a sense of what conditions were like there 5 years after the WWI. This is especially so when she describes the lingering destruction from that conflict. From mid-July through mid-Aug their travels took them through France Switzerland Germany Belgium The Netherlands and finally England. The exact itinerary is included in the handwritten notes. A historian would find this an excellent first-hand account of sights and scenes in the immediate postwar years. It also gives an insight into one particular aspect of the American character especially vis-avis new or unusual people incidents or experiences. There is a typed transcription secured in a 2-ring binder. The handwritten notes are 8" by 5 inches and secured by a lace. They number 142 handwritten pages. The typed notes are secured in a hard cover 2-ring binder and amount to 85 pages. The journal is in good condition although the spine is cracked. Most pages are completely attached.

1958réf. 23711London: Collins 1958. Montgomery Bernard Law The Memoirs of Field-Marshal Montgomery Collins 1958. First Edition and dual signed by Montgomery of Alamein and Spike Milligan the latter with a lengthy inscription and occasional text annotations. Red cloth boards with gilt lettered spine and the supplied dust wrapper. Minor rubbing to base of spine and chipping to extremities of jacket. Internally occasional minor spotting. A very good copy. A fascinating and unique dual signature example of the biography of the man who won the second world war. Signed 'Montgomery of Alamein FM November 1958' and below 'I wrote- enclosing this book. Saying- I had done his bidding during the war. Would he now do mine and sign this book. Within 48 hours it was signed and returned. S Milligan'. In addition to Milligan's inscription he has also annotated the first photo page opposite p.40 which depicts a young Montgomery his father and his mother. He writes beneath the image of Montgomery's father 'A cnt' his mother 'A monster' and next to an image of a child Montgomery 'Ok->'. Cunt has been drawn over in purple pen possibly by the recipient of the book who didn't enjoy Milligan's use of language. Additionally on page 152 where Montgomery has published a letter written to him by a private attached to 8th army in Libya which is gushing over Montgomery's message to the troops a while before. Milligan has written 'Grovel Grovel'. Milligan had seen significant action during the second world war fighting both in the North Africa Campaign as a signaller and was appointed lance bombardier. He was wounded at the battle of Monte Cassino and saw out the war playing jazz guitar and performing comedy for the troops. He wrote several autobiographies of his time during the war including Monty: His Part in My Victory and the humorous annotations and irreverent inscription regarding Montgomery are very much in keeping with Milligans life. An amazing association Collins hardcover
