Bound to style in eighteenth-century half leather over eighteenth-century comb marbled paper-covered boards and marbled endpapers Deluxe large paper issue of Cavendish's classic 1737 treatise on equestrianism with 43 splendid double-page engravings: "The illustrations are among the most beautiful to ever grace equestrian literature." Ramsay Though considered a country of horse lovers England only produced one early master of classical riding: William Cavendish Duke of Newcastle who was a Royalist living in exile until the restoration of King Charles II. During his exile Cavendish opened a riding school in Belgium and wrote the present work La Méthode et Invention Nouvelle de Dresser les Chevaux. This text was the first of Cavendish's two important books on breeding and training horses and was translated into French from his English manuscript and published in Antwerp in two issues: 1657 and 1658 though many of the 1657 title-pages have been altered by hand to read 1658. The first printing was largely incinerated by a fire in the bookseller's shop and is all but impossible to acquire. Brunet Offered here is the deluxe large paper issue of the second edition of Cavendish's first book a work long cherished by bibliophiles for its typographical excellence and the masterful quality of its illustrations. It is a work that has been esteemed by countless generations of horsemen and revered by such master riders as La Guérinière Comte d'Aure and Steinbrecht. It is a landmark of equestrianism. Steinkraus Cavendish's book has been called the only really outstanding work on the subject written by an Englishman. Toole-Stott In it Cavendish discusses a wide variety of equine subjects including the recognition of the age and disposition of a horse; the characteristics of various types of horses such as the Spanish the Barb the English horse and the Arabian; methods of maintenance; and instructions on proper riding: "You must in all Airs follow the strength spirit and disposition of the horse and do nothing against nature; for art is but to set nature in order and nothing else." Of the 43 wonderful double-page engraved plates after Abraham van Diepenbeke 24 depict the multiple stages Cavendish and his assistant Captain Mazin employed in training horses in complicated maneuvers.

1866réf. 1009808vo one sheet printed on both sides. Even toning and aging small closed tear to the upper margin; otherwise very good. This is a rather scarce government document that informs the military that the "Thirteenth Amendment" has passed and slavery is officially abolished. Article XIII states "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude except as a punishment for a crime whereby the party shall have been duly convicted shall exist within the United States or any place subject to their jurisdiction." This document is signed in type by William H. Seward 1801-1872 as the Secretary of State. Congress would follow with a Civil Rights Act of 1866 to give African Americans the same rights as all citizens but this small printed document presenting the essence of the "Thirteenth Amendment" is an important piece of history.

Still in decent shape overall. This is one of the earliest printings of the Emancipation Proclamation which was issued on September 22 1862. The Emancipation Proclamation declared freedom for all slaves in any Confederate state that didn't return to the Union by January 1 1863. Although this executive order did not actually free a large number of slaves it set the stage for the freedom of all slaves. Coverage of the Emancipation in this newspaper begins in the middle of the first page. This newspaper article represents important coverage of a very significant event in American History. archives government exhibits emancipation website books
