Jacob George Strutt (17841867) painter and etcher, studied in London, and was a contributor to the Royal Academy and British Institution at intervals between 1819 and 1858. For a few years he practiced portrait-painting, but from 1824 to 1831 exhibited studies of forest scenery, and he is now best known by two sets of etchings which he published at this period `Sylva Britannica, or portraits of Forest Trees distinguished for their Antiquity' (1822; reissued, as here, in 1838), and `Delicia Sylvarum, or grand and romantic Forest Scenery in England and Scotland' (1828). About 1831 Strutt went abroad, and, after residing for a time at Lausanne, settled in Rome. In 1851 he returned to England, but was not active after 1858.

Aeschine s (Ca. 390?314 B.C.), Athenian orator and polititian, was a great rival of Demosthenes (384??322 B.C.). He rose from humble circumstances and became powerful in politics because of his oratorical gift s. At first he opposed Philip II of Macedon, then later changed sides, arguing that resistance to Macedonian power was useless. Both he and Demosthenes were members of the embassy to Philip in 348 B.C ., and afterward Demosthenes bitterly and baselessly accused Aeschines of accepting Macedonian bribes. He was to have been joined in his action by Timarchus, but Aeschines prevented this by his oratio n Against Timarchus (345 B.C.). Aeschines defended himself well in his oration On the False Legation (342 B.C.)?a title also used by Demosthenes in his accusatory oration. The trouble between the orat ors grew and culminated in a dispute over a gold crown that the orator Ctesiphon proposed should be given Demosthenes in 330 B.C. Aeschines brought suit with Against Ctesiphon. Demosthenes replied wit h his sturdy defense On the Crown. Aeschines lost and was fined, and retired to Asia Minor where, according to Plutarch, he lived as a professional Sophist. This is offered as much for its manuscript interest as for it being an early printing. W120

1974220 pages. Riis "took pictures to document and expose the everyday misery of the despairing and often unseen poor." - from Introduction. "The remarkable journalist and reformer Jacob Riis was the forerunner in America's great tradition of documentary photography. This book brings together for the first time a full selection of Riis's photographs and a detailed account of his extraordinary years with a camera... To Riis, an immigrant struggling to expose human misery in the slums of New York nearly a century ago, such other possibilities as art and self-expression were of no concern. He was a muckraking journalist, to whom fact was the 'mightiest lever', and he took up the camera only because it offered new firepower in his crusade for social justice. Self-taught, he became America's first true journalist-photographer - a pioneer in the use of flash and in obtaining entry to and photographing previously inaccessible slum dwellings." - from dust jacket. "The photographs are direct and penetrating, as raw as the sordid scenes which they so often represent." - Beaumont Newhall, in "History of Photography". Usual library markings. Average wear. Binding sound. A worthy reference copy of this unforgettable compilation. Book
