1849réf. 93589London: David Bogue 1849. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London David Bogue 1849 first edition in English. Octavo two volumes xvi 338 and vi 378 pages plus a frontispiece in the first volume and 3 small folding maps all with a little hand-colouring. Early half calf and marbled papered boards with all edges marbled and matching marbled endpapers; leather a little rubbed and marked with light tidemarks near the joints of the first volume; tidemark to the frontispiece; scattered foxing; an excellent set. The frontispiece with an image size 188 × 114 mm without any margins has been mounted on thick paper; presumably this was done at the time the book was bound in the nineteenth century. Prince Adalbert 1811-1873 was a Prussian naval theorist and admiral; several journeys led him between 1826 and 1842 to the Netherlands Britain Russia Turkey Greece and Brazil Wikipedia. He spent the last four months on 1842 in Brazil. Alexander von Humboldt makes the following comments in his three-page introduction to this translation: 'this interesting Work . conducts us through Brazil to the mouth of the Amazon River and through this into one of its important tributaries the Xingu the course of which is now explored for the first time. The Journal of Travels printed originally only for the perusal of his friends . is not in the strict sense of the word a scientific book; nevertheless it contains observations and views of nature and customs which reflect a vivid picture of the scenes which the Prince witnessed and passed through. Instruction is imparted in the most pleasing manner when an unaffected simplicity and an absence of all pretension pervade a work like this'. This set was purchased at the dispersal sale of the Hope family's historic property 'Wolta Wolta' at Clare in South Australia; there is some serendipity in this given the Schomburgk family's close connection with the state. Richard Schomburgk accompanied his explorer brother Robert on an expedition in 1840-44 to British Guiana as botanist and historian. He later published the three-volume account of the expedition before emigrating to South Australia where he was a pioneering vigneron and an influential head of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. 2 items.

1915Fine German Original typescript letter signed 'Souchon', addressed to Capitan, lieutenant colonel Vasif (Wassif) Muhiddin Bey [Kasimpasali]. Wassif Bey was a ship commander of Hamidiye cruiser before Rauf Orbay. 27x21 cm. In German. 1 p. "Kommando der Flotte" letterhead with bilingual in German and Ottoman Turkish. 8 lines. Signed 'Souchon'. This letter includes an indication that it honors the Kaiser (Wilhelm II) with the Iron Cross medal for Commander of Haamidiye, Wassif Bey. "Seine Majestät der Kaiser und König haben Euer Hochwohlgeboren in Anbetracht Ihrer tatkraftigen Arbeit im Interesse der Kriegsbereitschaft und Kriegsbereitschaft und Kriegsbedürfnisse der Marine das Eiserne Kreuz 2. Klasse zu verleihen geruht.". [i.e. His Majesty the Emperor and King have deigned your High Wellbeing to give the Iron Cross 2nd Class to the Navy in view of your hard work in the interest of readiness for war needs.]. Wilhelm Anton Souchon was a German admiral in World War I. Souchon commanded the Kaiserliche Marine's Mediterranean squadron in the early days of the war. His initiative played a major part in the entry of the Ottoman Empire into World War I. Wilhelm Anton Souchon was born on 2 June 1864 in Germany to a family of Huguenot ancestry. In July 1914, hostilities erupted between the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Kingdom of Serbia. Rear Admiral Souchon, a native of Leipzig, feared being trapped in the Adriatic Sea in the event of other nations joining in the conflict. Because of this, Souchon took his two ships, the battlecruiser Goeben and the light cruiser Breslau, into the western Mediterranean. When World War I began on 4 August 1914, he bombarded the French-Algerian ports of Bône and Philippeville. He successfully eluded British attempts to corner him (see Pursuit of Goeben and Breslau) and on 10 August 1914, his small squadron arrived at the Dardanelles. After two days of negotiations, he was allowed to take his ships to Istanbul where they were subsequently transferred officially into the Ottoman Navy. Souchon was appointed Commander-in-chief of the Ottoman Navy and served in this position until September 1917. This gesture by Germany had an enormously positive impact with the Turkish population. At the outbreak of the war, Winston Churchill caused outrage when he "requisitioned" without compensation two almost completed Turkish battleships in British shipyards, Sultan Osman I and Reshadieh, that had been financed by public subscription. These ships were commissioned into the Royal Navy as Agincourt and Erin, respectively. On 15 August 1914, in the aftermath of Souchon's daring dash to Constantinople, Turkey cancelled their maritime agreement with Britain and the Royal Navy mission under Admiral Limpus, and left by 15 September. The Dardanelles were fortified with German assistance and the Bosporus was secured by the presence of Goeben (now Yavuz Sultan Selim). On 27 September 1914, the Straits were officially closed to all international shipping. On 29 October 1914, Souchon's fleet launched the Black Sea Raid, a naval attack which brought the Ottoman Empire into World War I. His ships laid several sea minefields and shelled the Russian Black Sea ports of Sevastopol, Odessa, and others, destroying the Russian minesweeper, Prut, in the process. British naval units quickly retaliated on Turkish merchant ships off Izmir (Smyrna). On 2 November 1914, Russia declared war on the Ottoman Empire. On 5 November, Britain followed suit and on 12 November 1914, the Ottoman government officially declared war on the Triple Entente. For the next three years, Souchon attempted to reform the Ottoman Navy while conducting a number of raids on Russian shipping, ports, and coastal installations in the Black Sea. Promoted to vice admiral, Souchon was awarded the Pour le Mérite, Germany's highest military order, on 29 October 1916. In September 1917, Souchon returned to Germany. There he received command of the Fourth Battleship Squadron of the High Seas F

1760réf. 2354175Avignon: Pierre Mortier 1760. Full-Leather. Near Fine/No Jacket. Twentieth century full leather binding. Edges faded but otherwise an excellent copy. Binding tight and square pages clean and unmarked with no toning or foxing. 1760 Full-Leather. 44 pp. 12mo. A12 B10. Navy blue leather gilt titles gilt dentelles on turn-ins marbled endpapers ribbon marker bound in. French text. This work by Frederick II the King of Prussia also known as Frederick the Great presents his political philosophy including thoughts on morality social structure and individuals/citizens and their role in the health of nations. It is perhaps most important for the response it elicited from Voltaire who wrote a satirical letter in response in which he ironically praised the ruler for his ability to simultaneously applaud the humble virtues of the everyman represented here as a cobbler while sending many such men to their deaths in military campaigns specifically the Seven Years War. While Voltaire mocked this particular effort the two corresponded regularly and Voltaire even called Frederick a 'philosopher king.' Frederick published other political works as well including a rebuttal to Machiavelli's The Prince. Pierre Mortier hardcover
