Description: Amsterdam: Jan Ten Hoorn, 1688. * Bell, p. 263; Field 168; JCB 1539; Pequot 338; Sabin 31,357; Howes H-415; Alden-Landis 688/120; Streit II.2738; not in Church; Denys: Sabin 19,616, usually found at the end of Hennepins Louisiana; Alden-Landis 688/75.. First Dutch edition of the first and most important of Hennepins writings (Howes), translated from the 1683 French original, Description de la Louisiane, and here augmented by Denys description of New France, BOTH ILLUSTRATED WITH NEW PLATES. This, Hennepins first published work, is notable for being the earliest printed account of La Salles 1678-9 journey to what is now Illinois, and the first book to use the name Louisiane (although Hennepin claimed to have coined this phrase, it was in fact La Salle who had first named the region). The Description also relates Hennepins travels up the Mississippi River north of Wisconsin, and contains the first published description of Niagara Falls. One of the most important volumes in the early history of North America (Lande).The accompanying map, here entitled Kaart van Nieuw Vrankrijk en van Louisania (sic) reproduces the famous map by Guerard that appeared in the 1683 edition. It locates Fort Creve Coeur, Michilimakinac, etc. Lakes Superior, Huron and Erie appear with their modern names, while the Atlantic Ocean appears as the Canadian Sea.Hennepins Description de la Louisiane was immediately popular, with three French editions published within five years, and numerous translationsnotably, the first was Italian in 1686 (12mo.), followed by this Dutch edition. Two German translations appeared in Nuremberg in 1689 (reprinted 1692) and in Bremen in 1690. Four new plates appear in this edition (and the two in Denys Beschrijving are likely by the same engraver). While the original French editions contained only the map and two platesdepicting Niagara Falls and a bisonthese depict scenes of daily aboriginal life, as well as interactions with the Europeans.The Beschryving van Louisania was issued with a second title, Denys geographical and historical description of the coasts of North America. This work, which had first appeared in Paris in 1672 as Description Geographique, was only rarely sold separately. The country over which M. Denys claimed to exercise jurisdiction under the King of France extended from Cape Canso, at the eastern extremity of Nova Scotia to Cape Rosier, at the mouth of Penobscot Bay. The author includes geographic and anthropological descriptions of the French territory, discusses native attire and customs, the lucrative bakkeljauw (codfish) fishery, and a chapter on the cold, snowy winters. One of the two plates illustrates the Strange history of a Sea- or Merman in Canso harbor (p. 44).

Title: Paris Bound: A Comedy
Author: Barry, Philip
Seller: ReadInk (United States)
Condition: Fine in Very Good+ dj
Description: New York: Samuel French. Fine in Very Good+ dj. 1929. 3rd printing. Hardcover. [nice clean book with no discernible wear; the jacket is lightly worn, with a few tiny scrape marks on the front panel, a small tear with just a bit of paper loss at the upper left corner of the rear panel]. Barry's first major hit (immediately preceding the much better-known "Holiday"), this comedy about infidelity had a Broadway run of 234 performances during the 1927/1928 season. It also had the distinction of being the first of the playwright's plays to be adapted for the movies (with Ann Harding and Fredric March, in 1929), and was also produced in numerous theatres around the country, thereby providing its author with royalties for many years. Rather unusual for printed playscripts, this volume includes the musical score for Acts II and III, at the back of the book. (NOTE that the "3rd printing" designation appears only on the jacket spine, not in the book itself, which bears only the 1929 dated; the presence of several later works among the list of Barry's plays on the rear panel, however, dates this reprint -- or at least the jacket -- at circa 1932 or 1933.) .

ISBN: 9781614275961
Condition: Very good
Description: Mansfield Centre: Martino Publishing, 2014. Paperback. Very good. Paperback. 9 1/4" X 6 1/4". xii, 518pp. Very mild shelf wear to covers, corners, and edges of paper wraps. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: This work is C. Vann Woodward's classic biographical study of the Georgia agitator, born of a slave-owning family reduced to poverty after the Civil war, when his family declined from the plantation owner class to the share-cropper status. Always an enemy of industrialism, Watson took the side of the southern farmer. He was elected to Congress in 1890, later became a Populist leader, and in 1904 and 1908 he ran for president on the Populist ticket. Although Thomas E. Watson championed the rising Populist movement at the turn of the 19th century--an interracial alliance of agricultural interests fighting the forces of industrial capitalism--his eventual frustration with politics transformed him from liberalism to racial bigotry, from popular spokesman to mob leader. Pulitzer Prize winning scholar C. Vann Woodward clearly and objectively traces the history of this enigmatic Populist leader.(Publisher).
