The World Crisis by Winston Churchill: A Criticism

London, Hutchinson & Co. 1927. First edition. Cloth. The first edition of this analysis of Winston Churchill's 'The World Crisis', signed by Sir Reginald Bacon. The first edition of this work in the publisher's original cloth binding. Loosely inserted is a small slip stating 'Collection of Steve Forbes', the American publishing executive and politician who is the editor-in-chief of the magazine Forbes. Inscribed by Sir Reginald Bacon to a Major General and Lord Lieutenant, to the verso of the front free end paper. The handwriting is a little difficult to decipher, but it may be addressed to Major-General J. E. B. Seely, Lord Lieutenant of Hampshire. Seely was Secretary of State for War prior to the First World War, and a friend of Winston Churchill. He led one of the great cavalry charges at the Battle of Moreuil Wood in 1918. A critical analysis of this important and highly acclaimed first-hand account of the war, written by Churchill before his fame as the wartime Prime Minister. This work chiefly examines Volume III, in which Churchill provides an analysis of Haig's strategy, but also the Dardanelles campaign. This work was written by a variety of distinguished critics, including Colonel the Lord Sydenham of Combe, Admiral Sir Reginald Bacon, General Sir Frederick Maurice, General Sir W. D. Bird and Sir Charles Oman. In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, smart. Slightly faded to the spine, with a small section of fading to the top of the front board. 6cm tear to the tail of the rear joint. Small tear to the tail of the front joint. Small losses to the head of the spine. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean except for offsetting to the paste downs and end papers. Very Good . Ill.: Not Stated. Very Good .

History of the Indian Tribes of North America, : With Biographical Sketches and Anecdotes of the Principal Chiefs. Embellished with One Hundred and Twenty Portraits, from the Indian Gallery in the Department of War, at Washington. 3 Vols. First Editions

Philadelphia: J.T. Bowen, 1848, 1849, 1850. 3 volumes, 8vo , 16.4 x 25.9cm. Very good.. Hand-colored lithographic dedication and 120 hand-colored lithographic plates , some heightened with gum arabic; Contemporary publisher's red gilt morocco, ruled in blind, all edges gilt. FIRST OCTAVO EDITION, after the folio edition of 1837-1844......."Both authors saw their book as a way of preserving an accurate visual record of a rapidly disappearing culture. The text, which was written by Hall based on information supplied by McKenney, takes the form of a series of biographies of leading figures amongst the Indian nations, followed by a general history of the North American Indians. The work is now famous for its color plate portraits of the chiefs, warriors and squaws of the various tribes, faithful copies of original oils by Charles Bird King painted from life in his studio in Washington (McKenney commissioned him to record the visiting Indian delegates) or worked up by King from the watercolors of the young frontier artist, James Otto Lewis. All but four of the original paintings were destroyed in the disastrous Smithsonian fire of 1865, so their appearance in this work preserves what is probably the best likeness of many of the most prominent Indian leaders of the early 19th century. -- ReeseThomas McKenney assembled portraits of Native Americans by taking visiting Native American dignitaries to the studio of Charles Bird King in Washington, who would paint their portraits in oil. These formed part of a portrait gallery at the Smithsonian, which were all destroyed in the 1865 Smithsonian fire..... McKenney endeavored to recreate the portraits in lithographs, resulting in the work's "long and checkered publication history [which] spanned twelve years and involved multiple lithographers (mainly Peter S. Duval and James T. Bowen) and publishers.. " (Reese, Stamped With A National Character 24). Howes M-129; Field 992; Sabin 43411 (1850 edition)...........OCLC Number / Unique Identifier: 878688064..

In 1857, the Mercantile Library Association of the City of Brooklyn was established, and the Mercantile Library of Brooklyn subsequently opened in a building shared by the Brooklyn Athanaeum and Reading Room. In 1865, the Brooklyn Library Association of the Eastern District was established for the purpose of establishing a library in Brooklyn's Eastern District, and in 1868, the Law Library in Brooklyn was established. .
