(M K Beddie: 39) First edition of the bound edition.Captain James Cook RN was a British explorer, navigator and cartographer, ultimately rising to the rank of Captain in the Royal Navy. Cook made detailed maps of Newfoundland prior to making three voyages to the Pacific Ocean during which he achieved the first European contact with the eastern coastline of Australia and the Hawaiian Islands as well as the first recorded circumnavigation of New Zealand. Cook joined the British merchant navy as a teenager and joined the Royal Navy in 1755. He saw action in the Seven Years' War, and subsequently surveyed and mapped much of the entrance to the Saint Lawrence River during the siege of Quebec. This helped bring Cook to the attention of the Admiralty and Royal Society. This notice came at a crucial moment both in his personal career and in the direction of British overseas exploration, and led to his commission in 1766 as commander of HM Bark Endeavour for the first of three Pacific voyages. Cook charted many areas and recorded several islands and coastlines on European maps for the first time. His achievements can be attributed to a combination of seamanship, superior surveying and cartographic skills, courage in exploring dangerous locations to confirm the facts (for example dipping into the Antarctic Circle repeatedly and exploring around the Great Barrier Reef), an ability to lead men in adverse conditions, and boldness both with regard to the extent of his explorations and his willingness to exceed the instructions given to him by the Admiralty. Cook was killed in Hawaii in a fight with Hawaiians during his third exploratory voyage in the Pacific in 1779.Condition:Lacks volume II and VI. First signature of volume one loose, inner hinges cracked, some interior soiling, spine ends and corners of leather rubbed, some scuffing to leather else a good set.

Description
216, VII pp. Cyrillic-language reference volume on iconography of the Virgin Mary in Greek and Russian church art and its connection to early Italian Renaissance painting, by the well-known Russian icon scholar. Scholarly notes with bibliographic information. Illustrated profusely throughout with close to 150 text illustrations, primarily reproductions from photographs. Handwritten ink notation "Baron de Baye" to title page and a second ink notation to secondary title page. 4to. Cloth-backed marbled boards, black morocco label with gilt title to spine. Some slight soiling and rubbing, especially to extremities. St. Petersburg (Tovariscestvo R. Golike i A. Vil'borg) 1911. Kondakov was a Russian historian and a specialist in Byzantine and Russian art and Russian Orthodox culture. He created his own methodology for studying Russian icons, authoring a book simply titled "The Russian Icon", which he intended to be the definitive work on the subject. This book was the result of decades of scholarly research as well as a familiarity with icon painting as it was still practiced in late Imperial Russia. When the book was finally published, two years after Kondakov's death, it became the first monograph in English to be printed on the subject.

Description
quarto, one page, in very good clean condition. Jarrett writes from the Baltimore Museum declining the addition of specimens for his Museum. Jarrett writes that the “services of a Juvenali Man have already been secured for next season,” and continues: “We can do nothing for the “Belgian Giant” as he would not draw a dollar at our establishment. We play no star’s at our establishment but those of the 1st Class, by the way, when did Jack Weaver loom up as a star.” Jarrett began his career as an actor in amateur theatricals in his native Baltimore, then in 1851 he purchased the Baltimore Museum and four years later assumed the management of Washington’s National Theatre. In 1861 Jarrett added the new Brooklyn Academy of Music to his roster of theaters and in 1864 the Boston Theater. He brought the “Parisienne Ballet Troupe” to New York for an engagement, but the ballerinas ended up being in The Black Crook (1866), a milestone in the history of the American musical theater. At the same time Jarrett took over the management of Niblo’s Garden, then in 1874 he joined A. M. Palmer to take over the Booth Theater, and to produce plays, including a highly successful revival of Uncle Tom’s Cabin. He retired to England in the mid 1880’s.

Description
Philadelphia:: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2005., 2005. 8vo. xii, 230 pp. Figs., index. Cloth, dust jacket. Near fine. ISBN: 9780812239751 "Hawaiian legends figure greatly in the image of tropical paradise that has come to represent Hawai'i in popular imagination. But what are we buying into when we read these stories as texts in English-language translations? Cristina Bacchilega poses this question in her examination of the way these stories have been adapted to produce a legendary Hawai'i primarily for non-Hawaiian readers or other audiences. / With an understanding of tradition that foregrounds history and change, Bacchilega examines how, following the 1898 annexation of Hawai'i by the United States, the publication of Hawaiian legends in English delegitimized indigenous narratives and traditions and at the same time constructed them as representative of Hawaiian culture. Hawaiian mo'olelo were translated in popular and scholarly English-language publications to market a new cultural product: a space constructed primarily for Euro-Americans as something simultaneously exotic and primitive and beautiful and welcoming. To analyze this representation of Hawaiian traditions, place, and genre, Bacchilega focuses on translation across languages, cultures, and media; on photography, as the technology that contributed to the visual formation of a westernized image of Hawai'i; and on tourism as determining postannexation economic and ideological machinery. / In a book with interdisciplinary appeal, Bacchilega demonstrates both how the myth of legendary Hawai'i emerged and how this vision can be unmade and reimagined." – Publisher. REVIEWS: "Legendary Hawai'i is insightful, provocative, and thought-provoking. It forcefully illuminates the implications of tourism for a culture, and the ways in which seemingly simple transactions, such as a tourist brochure to bring tourists and dollars to the island, can work in insidious ways to actually undermine the very people it seems to be celebrating."—Journal of Folklore Research. "Legendary Hawai'i and the Politics of Place is an examination of cultural change through textual analysis, and within those boundaries it accomplishes quite a bit.. .. Bacchilega's close reading of texts and her nuanced explications of photographs are persuasive and reach important conclusions about cultural changes occurring in Hawaii, which may also apply to other colonized regions."—Journal of American History. "A work of vigilant scholarship and elegant exposition that unsettles long-taken-for-granted genres, modes of representation, narrative codes and ascribed roles."— Hawaiian Journal of History.
