Rootenberg Rare Books & Manuscripts (United States)
Description
London: T. Cadell and W. Davies, 1808. FIRST EDITION. Original boards. An excellent uncut copy. First edition of a significant political pamphlet supporting Wellesley in connection with efforts to impeach him from Parliament for actions taken when he was Governor General of India. The impeachment motion was originally made by James Paull (1770-1808) years before. In his letter, the author addresses three specific charges against Wellesley: his conduct towards two native noblemen and Chief ministers (of the provinces of Oude and Furruck-abad) and the measures taken by the British government against the Zamindars (landowners of two regions). Apparently Wellesley forced both states to surrender numerous cities to the British and usurped the land owned by the Zamindars, imposing astronomical taxes. When they refused to pay, Wellesley declared them “to be in a state of rebellion” and he used military force to establish the British authority. He was ultimately exonerated by Parliament. Richard Wellesley, the first Marquess Wellesley (1760-1842), was a British statesman and government official. He worked to extinguish all French influence in the Indian territories, including waging military campaigns against tribal rulers who had or were in the process of negotiating treaties with France. As a result of his efforts, Britain became the dominant power in India. Dundas was editor of The Asiatic annual register, or, a view of the history of Hindustan, and of the politics, commerce and literature of Asia, as well as a prolific writer on India and Indian affairs. Godsmith’s-Kress, 19665.

Octavo, original orange cloth, original dust jacket. $950.First edition of Burnett's novel about terrorists in a small Midwestern town, inscribed by the author on the verso of the half title: ""For Myrtle Eaton, with sincere best wishes, W.R. Burnett.""W.R. (William Riley) Burnett ""is an important and original writer… he may be the single most successful writer on the notion of the criminal as the emblem of an era. Burnett provides some of the most dynamic and apposite metaphors for the life of America in the 20th century"" (Reilly, 234). ""Throughout the 1940s Burnett continued to write novels and screenplays about gangsters and crime, among them The Quick Brown Fox (1942)"" (ANB). Despite Burnett's burgeoning fame in Hollywood as a screenwriter, ""he claimed that he never wrote novels with movies in mind but that his screenwriting career allowed him to continue doing what he liked best—writing novels… Burnett received the Grand Masters Award in 1980 from the Mystery Writers of America for his contribution to crime writing and the gangster novel"" (ANB). With five illustrations. Book near-fine, dust jacket with shallow wear to spine ends and corners, a few minor rubs. A desirable inscribed copy.

Description
Athens: Melissa Publishing House, 2005. 1st edition. Hardcover. VG (top corners bumped; otherwise clean.). Gray paper boards, white & illus. dust jacket, 280 pp., many BW illus.; weighs 4.5 lbs. "Aspires to enhance the 'beauty' of ancient Greek sculpture, through choice works from museums in Greece, Europe and the United States of America. Brief descriptions and comments bring the reader into contact with the milieu -- geographical, historical, social and religious -- in which this art was created and which contributed to its development. The illustrations adopt a different, a selective approach, which consciously avoids the whole and focuses on details. Details that reveal particular facets of the sculptural creation and reflect the 'eye' of two exceptionally talented Greek photographers, Elias Eliadis and Sokratis Mavrommatis. Thus, this 'history' of ancient Greek sculpture functions as a visual quest whose goal is to breathe life into soulless museum exhibits." (p. 11) You'll notice the refreshing different in approach as soon as you open this book. A terrific and contemplative browser.
