"He is absolutely sincere, extraordinarily fearless, and he is the wielder of one of the most caustic, best-informed and most original pens that is at work on the English press today." - Raymond Blathwayt; "England and Germany: A Talk with Mr Arnold White"; Great Thoughts From Master Minds, page 25.; viii, 419 pages ., Kegan Paul, Trench, Trubner, 1913, Stevens & Sons, London, 1951, first edition. 187 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. B&w plates. Presents "a view over the long and varied history of Gray's Inn from the Middle Ages till to-day. For the lover of London and the social historian, no less than for the lawyers, the f ascination of the Inns of Court is irresistible. But this is more than a story of an Inn of Court and its members, or even of its six centuries of change in the shape of our legal system and the ways of the lawyers at study, at work and at p l a y . H ere Gray's Inn, starting as a manor house in the fields outside London, grows and changes as the city reaches out to enclose it. It feels the impact of religious change and civil war. Tudor, Stuart, Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian L on do n gr ow up around it. The bombs of two wars devastate it. Yet through every transformation its continuity is unbroken. And the Author demonstrates the essential part which that continuity plays in safeguarding the conception of freedom un der th e rul e o f wa r."

Facsimile reprint of the Charles Gilpin, London, 1850 edition. "This 'first volume of Indian history written by an Indian' was published in 1850 by a chief of the Ojibway nation in order to awaken 'a deeper feeling for the race of red men, and induce the pale-face to use greater effort to effect an improvement in their social and political relations'. The author, though a chief, was converted to Christianity, was educated, and became a preacher. He had great love for his people and their culture, and he travelled in England, America, and Canada campaigning for a permanent reservation for them, where they would be taught Christianity, general education, and agriculture. His thorough account of the Ojibways includes the geography of their territory, their origins, their migratory habits, their wars, amusements, legends, language, and picture-writing, as well as their government and religion. The next chapters document the discovery of the New World from the Indian point of view. The author's rendering of the story and its drastic effects upon his people makes fascinating reading. The book exposes one more facet in the extremely complex history of the relationships of the two cultures, providing unprecedented insights into modern Canadian problems from a point of view that is rarely heard."

From dust jacket: The author was a bomber and fighter pilot for Franco from the beginning to the end of the Spanish Civil War, with the absolute conviction that we were fighting to prevent the total destruction of our Catholic faith and national traditions. In his Fiat fighter high over the land he loved, he was involved in nearly every major battle of the lboody war, chalking up 278 missions, with six confirmed and five probable kills. He saw death strike countless friends, and he fuffered while his own sisters were imprisoned. His autobiography of the war years is immensely readable, full of stories of hair-raising combat in the air, and is lightened by grace and humour. He tells the whole story of the war, from the siege of the Alcazar of Toledo to the bittler battle of the Ebro, where the casualties of the 13th Nationalist Division alone included 78 per cent of the officers and 60 per cent of the troops. Combat Over Spain is one of the few first-hand accounts of the Civil War -- and is the only one published in England to be written from the Nationalist point of view. Whatever the political position of the reader, he cannot fail to find it immensely exciting., Neville Spearman Limited nd, London: Robinson and Roberts, 2009. Paperback. Very Good/No Dj. 8vo. Russia is a land of superlatives, it is also a country of extremes. By far the world's largest country, it extends across the whole of northern Asia and the eastern third of Europe, spanning eleven time zones.

First Edition. Hardcover. New/New. Illustrated. New copy. The six essays in this volume testify to the enduring impact of the Civil War on our national consciousness. Covering subjects as diverse as tactics, the uses of autobiography, and the power of myth-making in the southern tradition, they illustrate the rewards of imaginative scholarship--even for the most intensely studied battle in America's history. The Third Day at Gettysburg and Beyond brings current research and interpretation to bear on a range of pivotal issues surrounding the final day of the battle, July 3, 1863. This revisionist approach begins by expanding our knowledge of the engagement itself: individual essays address Confederate general James Longstreet's role in Pickett's Charge and Union general George Meade's failure to pursue Lee after the fighting. Other essays widen the scope of investigation to look at contemporary reactions to the Confederate defeat across the South, the construction of narratives by the participants themselves--from Confederate survivors of Pickett's assault to Union sergeant Ben Hirst--and the reverberations of Pickett's final momentous charge. Combining fresh evidence with the reinterpretation of standard sources, these essays refocus our view of the third day at Gettysburg to take in its diverse stories of combat and memory. The contributors are Gary W. Gallagher, William Garrett Piston, Carol Reardon, Robert K. Krick, Robert L. Bee, and A. Wilson Greene. New copy. Mylar cover. Illustrated. x, 217pp., index.
