Description:
1835 Life of Armaciotto Ramazzotti Italian Nobility Papacy Knight of Golden SpurArmaciotto de' Ramazzotti was a 15th-century Italian nobleman who held prestigious positions in high royal courts. He served in the ranks for Giovanni Bentivoglio as well as Pope Julius II and other popes into the 16th-century. However, his life's achievement is best summed up by his knighthood by the Order of the Golden Spur, an impressive feat in the Catholic Church.
An ENORMOUS commentary and sketch of his life was published by Giovanni Gozzadini in 1835 – a huge piece!

Crooked Letter Press: "'Rule of Thumb' is a moveable book about the historical human obsession with ourselves and with approval from others. In the last 10 years, we have become obsessed with living online instead of actual living. We seem to only care about how many thumbs up, likes, or hearts we can accumulate on social media platforms. We practice a psychological social separation. We live virtual lives. Now, with the proliferation of the COVID-19 virus, we are living with the physical reality of social-distancing. How will we make it back? Can we make it back? 'Rule of Thumb' considers the ways in which humans have used our thumbs…

1819 HUDIBRAS English Civil War Samuel Butler Political Satire Color Illustrated"Loyalty is still the same, whether it win or lose the game; true as a dial to the sun, although it be not shined upon."
― Samuel Butler, Hudibras
Samuel Butler, a 17th-century satirist, is mostly remembered only for his work 'Hudibras' which satirizes religious sects, such as Puritans and Presbyterians, during the English Civil War. It became an instant success and was popular throughout Great Britain, but perhaps its most notable publication came through the political satire artwork of William Hogarth.
Voltaire thought highly of Butler's
'Hudibras'
"There is one English poem, the title whereof is 'Hudibras'; it is 'Don Quixote' – it is our Satyre Menippee blended together: I never met with so much wit in one single book as in this." (Lowndes 335)
This 1819 two-volume edition is the first edition with the illustrations of Clarke – 12 highly desirable hand-color engravings.
