1733réf. 4995Dublin: Printed by and for George Grierson printer to the King's Most Excellent Majesty at the King's Arms and Two Bibles in Essex-Street 1733. With 52 engraved plates on heavier paper by Elisha Kirkall 1682-1742 printed at London by John Clarke. Hardcover. Fine. An extremely rare Dublin imprint in a contemporary Irish binding. The publisher George Grierson husband of the Irish author Constantia Grierson 1705-1732. ESTC locates only 2 copies British Library National Library of Ireland. Bound in ornately tooled contemporary red goat with onlaid cream paper lozenges against a ground richly decorated in gold with birds feathers crowned thistles stars and fleurs-de-lys divided into compartments with pointillé stipling. Spine with leather onlays in black and citron elaborately tooled in gold. Board edges and turn-ins also with gilt tooling. Corners lightly bumped several areas of the boards abraded. With three tools bird fleru-de-lis star very similar and possibly identical to Craig Irish Bookbindings no. 41 printed by Grierson's successor Boulter in 1765 See also Maggs catalog 1075 "Bookbinding in the British Isles" no. 169. However as Craig notes "It is quite possible that the Dublin die-sinkers were capable of cutting two or more tools so similar as to deceive all but a scrutiny based on physical proximity of two volumes on which different tools were used." "Notwithstanding that white inlays are found in French Swiss and English bindings before the Irish period and that there exist contemporary imitations of Irish binding the popular belief that any binding with a lozenge-shaped white inlay is Irish is broadly true. Though I know of no non-Parliamentary example before 1737 the binding of Lords 1697 Plate 1 seems to have had such an inlay. Yet since Lords 1697 may not have been bound much before 1737 it is possible that the genesis of the style occurred at about that time. The lozenge is one of the few obvious motifs for the decoration of a cover and was of course exploited in the Grolier period. But it is at least possible that the Irish lozenge is in part a development from the harleian centre-piece. The commonest Irish bindings are Prayer-books of the 1750's 1760's and 1770's or almanacks of the 1770's 1780's and 1790's of lozenge-inlay type. "It is convenient to use the term 'inlay' though in fact it seems that no Irish example of a true inlay is known. Strictly they are all 'overlays'. At least three-quarters of the white or cream examples are of paper. There is no correlation whatever between the richness of the binding and the use of leather in preference to paper. The Royal set of the Statutes for example has them in paper while the Rothschild-National Library set done for some inevitably less exalted personage has them in leather. In the very finest of the Parliamentary bindings they are usually of paper as appears from the fact that the wire- and chain-lines emerge clearly in the rubbings. It need hardly be observed that good hand-made paper is in such a position capable of being as durable as leather."Irish Bookbindings 1600-1800 The series of prints by Elisha Kirkall 1682-1742 is numbered 1-52. In addition to Biblical scenes there are three historical prints: "The Gunpowder Plot November 5" "King Charles I. Murthered" and "King Charles II His Return". The first plate shows King George II and bears the publisher's information John Clarke London.

Light general wear. 2006 Soft Cover. 96 pp. Leyte Gulf was a key victory for the United States during World War II 1939-1945: its scale dwarfed previous sea conflicts and its result created an opportunity for the US forces to invade the Philippines. Four different battles - Leyte Samar Cape Engaño and the Surigao Strait - occurred almost simultaneously as part of a Japanese plan to claim a Trafalgar-style victory over US forces. Yet they were defeated in the battles on the surface under the sea and in the air. This highly-accessible book describes the conflict's interweaving battles and the personalities of the commanders involved in what has been called 'the greatest sea battle of all'.

réf. 6917IRELAND IN THE CIVIL WAR. ALS. 4 pg. October 26 1864. Londonderry Ireland. An autograph letter signed Robert P. McGarron written from Ireland to Robert Patterson Kennedy an American fighting in the Civil War. I was happy to hear that you have so far escaped the dangers of the battlefield and not a little proud to know that you occupy such a high position with a good chance of still further promotion. I see that Genl Crook is now operating in Va. and it appears is doing good service there. If you are still on his staff you must have seen some hard fighting in that region. I was rejoiced to hear of Sheridan's victory over Early in which Crook seems to have played an important part. Later accounts represent Sheridan as having been repulsed in an attack on Early. I trust however that this reverse is not serious! Sherman has done well in Georgia. The loss of Atlanta is I believe a serious blow to the Rebels. Grant seems to have hard work before Petersburg. I fear he will not be able to fight his way into Richmond before the winter sets in. However I trust that he will not retrace his steps until the Stars & Stripes shall wave in triumph over the Rebel capital. I am sorry to say that the Rebels have a host of sympathisers in this county The Roman Catholics to a man speak in their favor and to their shame be it spoken a great many calling themselves protestant are likeminded; yet I have no hesitation in saying the salt of the land are truehearted friends of liberty. At the time of this letter Robert Patterson Kennedy was serving as Assistant Adjutant General on the staff of Union General George Crook. He was eventually brevetted to Brigadier General by the end of the war at 25 years old. The letter congratulates Kennedy on the birth of his daughter Carrie Crook who was named in honor of his commanding officer General George Crook. This letter shows how Union supporters frame the war as a defense of democratic liberty. This letter also discusses familial events such as the death of the writer's mother. It is in fair to good condition with some separation at the folds and edge tears. unknown books
