An Hibernian" [Adam Douglass?]ABAA

The Irish Emigrant. An Historical Tale Founded on Fact 2 vols.

1817ref. 20141Winchester VA: John T Sharrocks J Foster Printer 1817. First Edition. Full contemporary calf. Very good; some overall browning; tide mark diminishing to the first few leaves of both volumes; bindings scuffed; hinges are strained; a small paper flaw in page 5 of volume one touching two letters. 8vo I - iv 5 - 200 pp.; II - 2 3 - 200 pp. Both volumes collate: A - M8 N4. The copyright notice attributes authorship to Adam Douglass. He had emigrated at a young age from Belfast and settled in the US but went back to Ireland in 1812. He returned a few years later and settled in New Market VA writing two books including this one see Wayland A History of Shenandoah County. The last definite appearance of the book in trade that I could locate was in 1959 in a Midland Notes catalog that copy defective with a page chip affecting three lines of text; the copy of record at the AAS is also defective lacking a leaf of text. Foster was a job printer and newspaper publisher in Winchester see Index of Virginia Printing for a detailed biography who left the trade in 1821. The author states in the preface: "The Emigration from Ireland to the United States has been and still is vast. No human being can love his country better than an Irishman. But oppression forces him from his home. And the sons of Columbia grant him an asylum in a land where virtue reigns triumphant and where he can assert those rights as a man which heaven has implanted in his breast." It purports to be the first Irish-American novel. S&S #41151; Wright I #1367. John T Sharrocks, J Foster Printer unknown books

An exceptional copy. 2015 Trade Paperback. xliv 260 pp. In 1936 originally intending merely to report on the Spanish Civil War as a journalist George Orwell found himself embroiled as a participant - as a member of the Workers' Party of Marxist Unity. Fighting against the Fascists he described in painfully vivid and occasionally comic detail life in the trenches - with a "democratic army" composed of men with no ranks no titles and often no weapons - and his near fatal wounding. As the politics became tangled Orwell was pulled into a heartbreaking conflict between his own personal ideals and the complicated realities of political power struggles.

Many of these dissenters were thrown in jail for their opposition to the war from a future Nobel Prize winner to an editor behind bars who distributed a clandestine newspaper on toilet paper. These critics were sometimes intimately connected to their enemy hawks: one of Britain's most prominent women pacifist campaigners had a brother who was commander in chief on the Western Front. Two well-known sisters split so bitterly over the war that they ended up publishing newspapers that attacked each other. Mariner Books paperback books

Mottled staining on front and rear board jacket lightly rubbed with small sticker on jacket spine jacket price clipped. 1936 Hard Cover. 288 pp. A pseudonymous mystery novel by British government official Godfrey Warden James whose fiction often discusses the experiences of British men tasked with the administration of the Protectorate of Sierra Leone. His other works include Crowner's Quest The Island of Death and The Cambridge Murders. From the flap: "Mammy Green whose ostensible trade was that of a dealer in native produce in Edwardsville Old Guinea was in point of fact assumed to be at the bottom of most of the unpunished crimes in the Colony. It was even rumoured that the nefarious activities which had earned her the nickname of 'The Black Mamba' had been so profitable as to enable her to send two sons to Cambridge and a daughter to one of the most fashionable girls' schools in the South of England. In any case Stanley Carruthers on his first appointment to the Coast wasted no time in falling into the trap which she cunningly laid for him for 'The Black Mamba' was something of a specialist in dealing with young men.
