1591 Funeral Rites Torture Human SacrificeIllustrated Funerali Antichi Porcacchi

Tommaso Porcacchi was a 16th-century Italian scholar who is known primarily for his landmark work on funeral customs and practices. First published in 1574, "Funerali Antichi di Diversi Popoli" is often considered the best and certainly the most interesting of books on funeral rituals. Porcacchi covers rituals and practices of several ancient civilizations including the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Jews, Indians, Turks, and Persian tribes.

While the contents of this work are notable and accurate, the mark of this work is the inclusion of 25 fascinating illustrations by Girolamo Porro. These impressive engravings serve as the basis for the dialogue and text of this work and provide a fine, visual insight to the customs of ancient civilizations! Many of these illustrations show the horrors of human sacrifice, torture, and other forms of abuse.

Description:
1880 History of CRUSADES 1st ed Michaud Holy Wars Jerusalem Dore ART Illustrated

A rare, 19th-century printing of Joseph-François Michaud's "History of the Crusades". Michaud's principal work discusses the beginning of the crusades through the Council of Clermont. It covers the departure of crusaders after the Council of Nicee, the Siege of Antioch, Election of Godefroy, Battle of Ascalon, reign of Baudouin II, conquests of Saladin, and the events designed to protect Jerusalem from a fall.

This very rare 1880 first English printing of Michaud's masterpiece is noticeably more desirable that other editions. Not only does this work feature the artwork of Gustave Doré, it is also an impressive set of two enormous tomes!

1723 History of Netherlands 1ed Holland Voyages MAP Dutch MEDALS COINS Utrecht
Jean Le Clerc's "History of the Netherlands" is considered one of the best 18th-century sources on the political and militaristic history of the numerous states of Holland. Le Clerc describes a year-by-year chronology of major events in the Netherlands, complete with impressive folding maps and engravings. Much to be desired, Clerc utilizes a world map that depicts California as a large island off the west coast of the North America.
This set also features a first edition printing of Le Clerc's 'Historical Explanation of the Medals of the Netherlands'. First published in 1723, this work is a detailed account of the origins of the Dutch republic with descriptions of major events and figures from throughout the 16th-century until the Treaty of Utrecht and the end of the Spanish Succession... And while the contents are accurate and thorough, the main draw of this work is the inclusion of over 100 engravings of coins, medals,… Read More

"The art of war is simple enough. Find out where your enemy is. Get at him as soon as you can. Strike him as hard as you can and keep moving on."
– Ulysses S. Grant
An important historical memoir of the Civil War, arguably the most important, and the best thing that Grant ever wrote. General Norman Schwartzkopf has recently called this the finest memoir of war experiences that has ever been penned. As such, it is valuable in its scope, its plain and clear analysis and language, and its broad conclusions about the conduct of the war.

1848 1ed Pieter Harting Microscope DUTCH Biology DARWIN Influence Illustrated 3v
Pieter Harting was 19th-century Dutch scientist who is best remembered for his contributions to the development and use of the microscope and microscopy. He published what proved to be the greatest book on microscopy, titled simple 'The Microscope', which provided lessons on using the microscope as well as covering designs for lens improvements.
It should be noted that Harting was one of the earliest supporters of Charles Darwin's evolutionary theories, many of which were endorsed by Harting's microscope findings. In fact, according to Darwin scholar Eve-Marie Engels, Harting was "one of the most influential" of all 19th-century scientists and philosophers.
This 1848 Dutch edition of 'The Microscope' is illustrated with 18 impressive folding engravings featuring numerous figures depicting microscope parts, lenses, cells, burners, and scalpels.
