Description
1746. First Edition. LE BLOND, Guillaume. A Treatise of Artillery: or, of the Arms and Machines Used in War Since the Invention of Gunpowder. Being the First Part of Le Blond's Elements of War. London: E. Cave, 1746. Quarto, later burgundy and black cloth rebacked and recornered. $950.First edition in English of French military historian Le Blond's respected treatise on military artillery, with 50 copper-engraved artillery-related illustrations on 14 folding plates.Guillaume Le Blond was an 18th-century professor of mathematics, first as part of the grand stable of the King and later for the French royal children, particularly the children of Louis XIV. He was also a talented military historian. This work focuses on the history (and effectiveness) of artillery, from guns to bombs and features informative copper-engraved illustrations depicting specific types of military weapons. As this was one of the major 18th-century military treatises as well as a standard educational text, this work was undoubtedly used by officers in the French and Indian War, Revolutionary War, the Napoleonic Wars, and the War of 1812. The first edition was published in French in 1743. The second part of this work (also translated) was not published until 1748 and is quite rare; the first volume, taken alone, is considered a collectible first edition. With advertisement on final leaf of text. Occasional mispagination as issued. ESTC T133610. Early ink owner signature on title page. Date of publication written under roman numeral date on title page. Evidence of bookplate removal.A few tiny tears to preliminary and concluding pages, very light scattered foxing and a few minor stains to interior, only minor wear to binding. An extremely good copy.

Description
New York: Columbia University Press, 2008. 2nd Printing. Trade Paperback. Near Fine. 8x5x1. Second printing. An excellent copy. 2008 Trade Paperback. viii, 440 pp. Set in post-World War II Shanghai, The Song of Everlasting Sorrow follows the adventures of Wang Qiyao, a girl born of the longtong, the crowded, labyrinthine alleys of Shanghai's working-class neighborhoods. Infatuated with the glitz and glamour of 1940s Hollywood, Wang Qiyao seeks fame in the Miss Shanghai beauty pageant, and this fleeting moment of stardom becomes the pinnacle of her life. During the next four decades, Wang Qiyao indulges in the decadent pleasures of pre-liberation Shanghai, secretly playing mahjong during the anti-rightist Movement and exchanging lovers on the eve of the Cultural Revolution. Surviving the vicissitudes of modern Chinese history, Wang Qiyao emerges in the 1980s as a purveyor of "old Shanghai"―a living incarnation of a new, commodified nostalgia that prizes splendor and sophistication―only to become embroiled in a tragedy that echoes the pulpy Hollywood noirs of her youth. From the violent persecution of communism to the liberalism and openness of the age of reform, this sorrowful tale of old China versus new, of perseverance in the face of adversity, is a timeless rendering of our never-ending quest for transformation and beauty.
