1848réf. 44488New York: Bartlett & Welford 1848. First edition 8vo expanded to small folio xxvii 1 412; the whole interleaved in folio throughout; 20th-century quarter brown morocco over marbled boards; generally fine; judging from the soiling on the page edges this copy was interleaved at an early date much earlier than the relatively modern binding but there are no annotations on the interleaves. This popular and influential work went through four editions the last in 1878 and was translated into Dutch and German. After Pickering's Vocabulary of Words Peculiar to The United States 1815 which treated a mere 500 words no significant work on Americanisms appeared until this work of Bartlett which Mencken calls "the first attempt at a comprehensive dictionary of Americanisms."

Minor general wear. 1995 Soft Cover. 64 pp. The English military ascendancy which lasted from the mid-14th to the early 16th century was founded upon defensive tactics based on the use of the longbow. This weapon distinctive in that it was used by English forces alone was probably the most effective missile weapon of the Late Middle Ages: its arrow had the same penetrative ability as a modern day bullet and the bow's rate of fire was not equalled by any weapon used by English forces until the adoption of the Lee Enfield rifle at the beginning of the 20th century. The English longbowmen's involvement in wars such as the War of the Roses 1455-1485 and One Hundred Years' War 1337-1453 is discussed. Osprey paperback books
