"Except for the last few chapters, this entire work was written from day to day during the three years of the author's internment in Santo Tomas and is therefore to be considered as a prison document. The writing of any such record as this was forbidden by the Japanese under strong menace. In the end they destroyed their own records and those of the successive internee executive committees, but the author's voluminous typescript, carefully hidden away, was never found by them. Every story is based on interviews with numerous persons who participated in the events they talked about." - Foreword. No dust jacket. Unmarked with somewhat above-average wear to grey boards. Binding intact. Please note that we are offering volume one only of this important two volume chronicle. Book

1834réf. ABC_45429Noordwijk 1834. Folio 23 x 38.5 cm & 26 x 44 cm. 2 autograph letters each written on a single leaf and folded for posting with the address and remnants of a seal. 2 ll. Both letters were written by Abraham Hendrik Verster van Wulverhorst 1797-1882 living in Noordwijk Binnen near Leiden as a forester in the Dutch province of Zuid-Holland he was Inspecteur der Opperhoutvesterij. The present letters contain detailed observations on the Salamander punctata probably the European spotted salamandar now designated Salamandra salamandra. The letters further offer laudatory words regarding Heinrich Boie 1794-1827 who had also worked at the Rijksmuseum but had left for the Dutch East Indies to study the Southeast Asian fauna and sadly had died there in 1827. Also interesting remarks by Verster as a bird watcher on the bird migration: he had observed that the gallingo snipe and the rusticola woodcock were very early that year.The edges of the second letter are frayed. Otherwise in good condition. unknown
1880réf. 2101Amsterdam The Hague Brussels Vienna and other places 1880. Preserved in a contemporary portfolio with red sprinkled boards held together by two olive green ribbons which also serve as closing ties a paper title label on the front together with two other labels. With ca. 100 contemporary notes and letters several with envelopes. Extensive archive of approximately one hundred letters and notes concerning the Vorsterman family assembled by the genealogist and heraldist Anthonie Abraham Vorsterman van Oyen 1845-1912.

1851réf. 193281London: Henry Colburn 1851. Navy life so full of incident as to suggest Marryat Forester or O'Brian First edition scarce this attractive copy in its smart original navy-blue cloth binding is apparently the only one currently on the market. Although "the opening pages are touched by the verbosity of the early Victorians read on. Quickly the veneer is torn away by the vigour of his memories springing from the past like boarders with cutlass pistol and boarding-pike" Pocock p. vii. Born in Lismore County Waterford Crawford 1785-1869 entered the navy in 1800 as a first class volunteer on board HMS Diamond "in which he assisted in the capture of many of the enemy's ships armed and otherwise" O'Byrne. He transferred to the Immortalité and Clyde frigates under Admiral Owen as a midshipman "and appears to have been almost daily in action from June 1802 until Aug. 1806 with detachments of the Boulogne flotilla". With Duckworth on the Royal George at the forcing of the Dardanelles in 1807 Crawford was present at the destruction of a Turkish squadron off Point Pesquies. Promoted lieutenant in the Sultan he was involved in frequent cutting out operations in the Gulf of Genoa taking part in the pursuit of the French ships of the line Robuste and Lion in 1809. In 1810-11 he served under Admiral Carew in the blockade of Toulon and support of the Catalonian insurgents on the coast being present at the siege of Tarragona. Promoted commander in 1815 he was given command of the Grasshopper on the West India Station where he served until invalided home in 1829. Tom Pocock praises the quality of Crawford's descriptions of naval actions the sea and his portraits of fellow officers as in the postprandial face of one lieutenant assuming "the hue of an unripe mulberry". Crawford also talks of Congreve rockets Fulton's torpedoes and the transformation of the quarterdeck of a frigate into a dancefloor for an onboard ball. 2 vols octavo. Tissue-guarded lithographic portrait frontispieces of admirals Sir Edward Owen and Sir Benjamin Hallowell Carew by R. J. Hamerton printed by Metchin; publisher's 24-page catalogue at end of vol. II.

Very good condition with only minor signs of external wear. Tom Taylor 19 October 1817 12 July 1880 was an English dramatist critic biographer public servant and editor of Punch magazine. Taylor had a brief academic career holding the professorship of English literature and language at University College London in the 1840s after which he practised law and became a civil servant. At the same time he became a journalist most prominently as a contributor to and eventually editor of Punch. In addition to these vocations Taylor began a theatre career and became best known as a playwright with up to 100 plays staged during his career. Many were adaptations of French plays but these and his original works cover a range from farce to melodrama. Most fell into neglect after his death but Our American Cousin 1858 which achieved great success in the 19th century remains famous as the piece that was being performed in the presence of US President Abraham Lincoln when he was assassinated in 1865. hardcover
1788réf. 702L27Boston: John Norman 1788. First edition. Disbound. Fair. 7" by 4". None. An extremely scarce American almanac from the eighteenth century containing ephemerides. An early publication following American independence this work contains many astronomical notes. The first edition of this almanac containing many tables of ephemerides for the year 1789. Undated dated using Library Hub as 1788. Very scarce only seen at auction twice in the last forty years. Both times disbound - as issued Abraham Weatherwise was a pseudonym used for many almanacks from the years 1784 to 1788. It is believed that this is a pseudonym for Samuel Bullard. This is because the astronomical notes on the calendar pages parallle those in his 'An almanach for the year of the Christian aera 1789 Boston'. Disbound as issued lacking the half-title and bookseller's advertisement occasionally seen. This astronomical calendar was calculated for the meridian of Bostonm 'but will serve for the adjacent states'. A very scarce work. Disbound. Externally chipped to the extremities with handling marks and a light tidemark to the front wrap. Internally firmly bound. Chipping has affected the bottom seven entries of the tables which are slightly obscured due to a spill burn. Tidemark to the final three leaves not affecting the text. Occasional spots to pages.

1801réf. 3776First Portuguese Translation of Bosse's Engraving Manual BOSSE Abraham. Tratado da Gravura a agua forte e a buril e em maneira negra com o modo de construir as prensas modernas e de imprimir em talho doce. Nova ediçao traduzida do francez. por José Joaquim Viegas Menezes. Lisbon Arco do Cego 1801. Tall 8vo 208 x 152 mm engraved title pp. x ix 1 189 1 errata with 21 engraved plates; plates printed on slightly darker stock; a wide-margined clean copy in recent full calf gilt. First Portuguese translation of Bosse's classic introduction to copperplate etching and engraving Traité des manières de graver en taille douce. This Portuguese translation by José Joaquim Viegas Menezes is clearly taken from the Jombert edition and reproduces the same plates though newly engraved with subtle adaptations; an extensive introduction precedes the text. Bosse's treatise the first manual of copperplate etching and engraving and the printing of intaglio plates was first published in French in 1645. It was aimed both at the professional engraver and at the amateur and is extensively illustrated with detailed engravings based on Bosse's own designs. A second edition of 1701 had contained revisions by LeClerc the third of 1745 those of the engraver Cochin. The Jombert edition added two new plates by Louis-Marin Bonnet the inventor of the Crayon manner of colour printing and a separate chapter on this method of colour printing. In addition to a wealth of technical information the work includes views of the engraving studio and the copperplate press. As adaptations were made to all subsequent editions the work has remained an important introduction to print-making which is of practical use to the printmaker even today.

1860réf. 147733Columbus: Follett Foster and Company 1860. First edition early issue of the most famous debates in American history which cemented Lincoln as a national presidential candidate. Octavo original cloth stamped in blind with rule above the publisher's imprint on the copyright page. In good condition darkening to the edges toning throughout some damp staining inscription to the rear pastedown. Running as a little-known candidate for the Illinois senatorship in 1858 Lincoln challenged incumbent and Democratic leader Stephen Douglas to a series of debates. The result was a memorable chain of lively arguments in front of cheering crowds. Though Lincoln lost the senatorial race “he began collecting a scrapbook of his best speeches particularly those from the just-concluded campaign against Douglas for possible inclusion in a book. Assiduously pasting newspaper accounts of the debates into the scrapbook Lincoln cast about for a publisher. Initial efforts failed mainly because Lincoln wanted the book printed in Springfield which had no local publishing or printing facilities. Eventually however the Columbus Ohio firm of Follett Foster & Company showed interest and he began preparing the first edition… Somewhat surprisingly for an attorney Lincoln did not seek Douglas’ permission to publish a book of their combined speeches although Douglas was later given the last-minute opportunity—he declined—to make corrections to his own remarks” Morris 121.
