Schmucker held pastorates at Lewistown (1842–45) and Germantown, Pennsylvania (1845–48). Schmucker left the ministry in 1848, studied law, and practiced in Philadelphia (1850–53). After two years in New York, he returned to Philadelphia and devoted his remaining years to writing, mostly popular biographies. According to the National Cyclopaedia of American Biography, Schmucker's works "exhibit diligence in compiling rather than deep research." .

SETH, VIKRAM

Two Lives

NY: Harper Collins, 2005. 0060599669. First Edition Thus. 1. Hard Cover. ISBN: 0060599669. Quarter bound black over blue boards, gilt lettering on spine, blue endpapers, fore-edge deckle. In 1969, Seth, 17, came from Calcutta to London to continue his education and to stay with his Shanti Uncle and Aunty Henny. Their relationship became warm, and it is their stories (as well as his own) that Seth (A Suitable Boy) tells in this wide-ranging, unpredictable and moving account. Shanti was Seth's grandfather's brother, a dentist who studied in Berlin, lodging with Frau Caro, whose daughter, Henny, was in love with someone else. He left for Britain in 1936 because he couldn't practice in Germany, but in 1940, as war broke out, he enlisted, served throughout and lost his right arm in combat, a calamity for a dentist. Meanwhile, Henny, a German Jew, arrived in Britain weeks before war was declared, leaving her beloved mother and sister behind to death camp murder. "Vicky" interviewed his great-uncle at length, and part two of his narrative focuses on Shanti. Part three, Henny's story, even more unusual, is based on a trove of remarkable letters she received and wrote (she often kept carbons), many to friends in Germany during the war. Part four examines their marriage (they didn't marry until seven years after the war), and part five details a family mystery about Shanti's will and Seth's complex but beautifully lucid summation of his research into these lives. This lovely book, "memoir as well as biography," examines great and fearful events seen through extraordinary lives. In clear and elegant writing, Seth explores the macrocosm through the microcosm, resulting in a most unusual, worthwhile book. Head and heel of spine gently bumped, hinge starting, else tight, square and clean. The unclipped dust jacket is slightly worn at edges only. FINE/NEAR FINE. B&W Photographs. Fine in Near Fine dust jacket .

Publisher's full brown cloth, gilt lettering on spine, gilt medallion on cover, t.e.g. Profusely illustrated with Color and B&W maps, photographs and reproductions. These are the experiences of American sailor, minister and professor John Smith Sewall (1830-1911) aboard the warship U.S.Saratoga, later one of the "Black Ships" of Commodore Matthew Perry's Squadron sent to Japan (1853-1854). As a captain's clerk aboard the Saratoga from 1850-1854, Sewall logged the ship's daily activities. This book was written a half century later and includes Sewall's commentaries as well as references to later incidents. These were part of the American expeditions that culminated in the establishment of diplomatic and trade relations with Japan. Commodore Perry accepted the task of opening Japan to the West and succeeded, through meticulous planning, a show of force, and diplomatic skill. With the Treaty of Kanagawa, Perry set in motion the process whereby Western ideas and commerce eventually penetrated Japan..

STEVENS, JUSTICE JOHN PAUL

Five Chiefs: A Supreme Court Memoir

Boston: Little, Brown and Company, 2011. 031619980X. Stated First Edition. First Printing. Hard Cover. ISBN: 031619980X. Justice Stevens was the third longest serving Justice in American history (1975-2010)--only Justice William O. Douglas, whom Stevens succeeded, and Stephen Field have served on the Court for a longer time. In Five Chiefs, Justice Stevens captures the inner workings of the Supreme Court via his personal experiences with the five Chief Justices--Fred Vinson, Earl Warren, Warren Burger, William Rehnquist, and John Roberts--that he interacted with. He reminisces of being a law clerk during Vinson's tenure; a practicing lawyer for Warren; a circuit judge and junior justice for Burger; a contemporary colleague of Rehnquist; and a colleague of current Chief Justice John Roberts. Along the way, he will discuss his views of some the most significant cases that have been decided by the Court from Vinson, who became Chief Justice in 1946 when Truman was President, to Roberts, who became Chief Justice in 2005. Packed with interesting anecdotes and stories about the Court, Five Chiefs is an unprecedented and historically significant look at the highest court in the United States..

The unclipped ($24.99) dust jacket is in perfect, pristine condition. VERY GOOD/AS NEW. Photohgraphs. 12mo 7" - 7½" tall. x, 292 pp. Very Good in As New dust jacket .
