THE YOUNG RIFLEMAN'S COMRADE: A Narrative Of His Military Adventures, Captivity, And Shipwreck.

The Young Rifleman's Comrade may be a translation of the third volume of Maempel's 'Der junger Feldjager.' Edited by Goethe, an edition, says the translator, whose fame is even more extensively European than the adventures of the hero. The hero's adventures take him from Germany through France, Spain, Italy and England. The last part of the volume describes his shipwreck off the African coast near Mauritius, and his adventures before reaching safety. This English translation first appeared in London, 1826. It is attributed to John Kincaid (1787-1862). First American edition. SCARCE. S&S/AI 29614. PAIMP 23

TIMOLEON AND HIS RELATIONS WITH TYRANTS

1952 — Endpapers browned. DJ has 2 tears and is browned with a bit of staining. ; Ix, 63pp. It has long been recognised that the ancient authorities for Timoleon's achievement in suppressing tyranny in fourth-century Sicily are biased in his favour. Examines the origins and effects of this bias and discusses the relations of Timoleon with each of his opponents. ; Publications of the Faculty of Arts of the University of Manchester No. 5; 63 pages

TIMOLEON AND THE REVIVAL OF GREEK SICILY, 344-317 B.C.

1974 — DJ is price-clipped. Light spotting to DJ. Slight sticker remnants to back panel. Very light foxing to textblock. ; 246 pages; Dispatched to Sicily in 344 BC as an elderly man at the head of a small, motley band of mercenaries, Timoleon had no experience of the island. Yet, in less than eight years Timoleon overthrew tyrants, expelled the Carthaginians, and introduced peace, prosperity and constitutional government to an area which for decades had known only disorder. The peace he had brought was broken after his death, and tyranny returned in 317 BC; but the prosperity which he had set in motion continued to increase well into the third century. Dr Talbert has deliberately avoided the temptation to write a biography, and has confined himself to coverage of those aspects of Timeleon's work for which some evidence survives. He examines closely the uneven and frequently eulogistic accounts left by ancient writers. He also discusses fully the light thrown on Timoleon's revival by the discovery of numerous silver coin hoards in Sicily, and by archaeological excavations undertaken there since the Second World War. His studies add up to a most thorough investigation of Timoleon's work.

ATTENZIONE !!: Con il termine estratto (o stralcio) intendiamo riferirci ad un fascicolo contenente un articolo di rivista, sia che esso sia stato stampato a parte utilizzando la stessa composizione sia che provenga direttamente da una rivista. Le pagine sono indicate come "da/a", ad esempio: 229/231 significa che il testo è composto da tre pagine. Quando la rivista di provenienza non viene indicata é perchè ci è sconosciuta. - !! ATTENTION !!: : NOT A BOOK : “estratto” or “stralcio” means simply a few pages, original nonetheless, printed in a magazine. Pages are indicated as in "from” “to", for example: 229/231 means the text comprises three pages (229, 230 and 231). If the magazine that contained the pages is not mentioned, it is because it is unknown to us.
