Description
Mexico City: Imprenta de I. Cumplido, 1873. Good plus.. xi,701,[1]pp., plus frontispiece portrait, engraved dedication leaf, and two plates. Contemporary quarter calf and marbled boards, spine gilt. Spine and edges worn, boards scuffed. Light, even tanning, occasional light dampstaining. Uncommon Mexican edition of this lengthy treatise on the education, conduct, and moral code of military officers by French Legion of Honor member Louis Durat-LaSalle, translated into Spanish by General Rafael Benavides, a prolific Mexican military author. Benavides was highly concerned with the improvement of Mexico's armed forces following its failures in the first half century of Mexican independence, and his many works primarily studied and translated works from the foremost national militaries of his time. In addition to the principal work, there is also section that provides a contemporary account of the French military, and smaller parts that describe the American fortifications at West Point (supplemented by two maps) and Fort Monroe, as well as a general report on the U.S. military academy. OCLC locates six copies.

Description
Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company. Very Good+. 1938. First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [a good sound copy, slight bumping to upper corners, spine cloth slightly faded, vintage bookseller rubber-stamp on front pastedown (Bertrand Smith Acres of Books, Long Beach, Calif.)]. Mid-career novel by this longtime editor at The Nation, the wife of poet/critic Mark Van Doren and the mother of notorious game-show cheater Charles Van Doren. It's a depiction of the subjective worldview of a young girl from ages 6 to 14, which a contemporary reviewer thought "deceptively simple [but with] a good deal more strength than the reader realizes at first." Being as how the author was born in 1896 and the novel's narrative spans the years from 1897 to 1910, it seems a pretty safe bet that she was retroactively channeling her own childhood, more or less. This was the fourth of Mrs. Van Doren's five published novels (her NYT obituary gets the total wrong); she also wrote several non-fiction books, based on her family life, later on. .
