1876 ENORMOUS Civil War 1ed Forbes Illustrations Great Army Union Camp Life RARE

Following the Civil War, countless histories and accounts of the war were published throughout America. The most popular of these works were illustrated and none were more desirable than Edwin Forbes gigantic printing of 'Life Studies of the Great Army". Published in 1876, this double-folio was a collection of 40 exquisite engravings depicting scenes from the Civil War and American life in the 1860s. Interestingly, Forbes illustrates the mundane monotony the soldiers experienced with camp life, napping, and game play, while also showcasing battle formation and military exploits.

This work is also considered to be one of the most valuable of all Civil War era accounts of the war. In fact, individual engravings are known to sell for hundreds of dollars each! An impressive collection of enormous Civil War era illustrations.

Description:
1856 1ed Narrative of Expedition American Squadron Perry Hawkes JAPAN China MAPS

First and only complete edition of Commodore Perry's Japan Expedition!

Matthew Perry was one of the most important American Naval officers during the 19th-century. While he was notable for his involvement in the War of 1812 and the Mexican-American War, his most famous accomplishment came as the leader of a voyage to Japan beginning in 1852 aboard the East India Squadron. This series of short visits sought to pursue Japanese trade treaties, but Perry and his crew discovered much more – Japanese and Chinese cultures, politics, coal mining and agriculture, as well as attempts at occupation of Formosa. While many events came from this expedition, according to Hill,
"the most important result was that the visit contributed to the collapse of the feudal regime and to the modernization of Japan"

The events of this expedition were recorded by Perry and Francis Hawks in the 1856 account "Narrative of the Expedition of an… Read More

Description:
1683 1ed James Ussher Power of Kings vs Church Ireland Charles II England RARE

"What is it which all men especially desire? Eternal life and happiness?" ¬
– James Ussher

James Ussher was an early 17th-century Archbishop in the Church of Ireland who is most remembered for giving an exact date to the beginning of creation. His full body of work includes letters, sermons, dissertations, and exegesis but this work focuses solely on improving the Christians life and strengthening their faith.

One of Ussher's lesser-known books was his 'Power Communicated by God to the Prince. This work, which was dedicated to Charles II of England, seeks to answer the question 'Where does a magistrates power come from - from Heaven or from Men?'. Ussher notes the church's inherent power over ecclesiastical governments, but also the conflicts that come from a power struggle between church and external governments.

This first 1683 first edition is exceedingly rare and valuable. It was one of the important Ussher… Read More

Description:
1602 HERBAL Castore Durante Herbario Nuovo Plants Medicine Illustrated Mattioli

Castore Durante was a 16th-century Italian scholar who is best-remembered for his major work "Hebrario Nuovo". This work, which was first published in 1585, is a collection of descriptions of plants and their medical uses and healing properties. The plants detailed in this work were from Europe and the East and West Indies with information on how to identify them in their indigenous environment. According to Hunt,
"This was a popular Italian herbal that was reprinted in Italian, and translated and published in several other languages, for a number of years. The plant descriptions are written in the form of poems which Arber describes as 'pleasingly unscientific"

This highly coveted and desirable 1602 second edition is extremely valuable much in part to the hundreds of in-text woodcuts in the style of Mattioli.

Johann Wilhelm Stucki was a 16th-century Swiss historian and theologian who published an important treatise on the development and history of ancient ceremonies and banquets. 'Antiquitatum Convivialium' was a study on the art of banqueting and ultimately stated that ceremonies of all types were a necessary and significant part of all cultures. This work was so ground-breaking, that it was solely responsible for all other accounts written on the subject. Nicolas Popper states that
"Stucki devoted nearly four hundred folio leaves to the feasts of the ancient Hebrews, Greeks, and Latins."

1656 HEALTH 1ed Drinking Water in 1600s England BEER WINE Opium Medicine Short

Richard Short's "Of Drinking Water" is a rare, 17th-century treatise on health and well-being in 1600s England. Published in 1656, Short's popular work was written at a time when the majority of drinking water was not safe for most people and was distrusted as a regular drink (Pope). In fact, one of the chapters found in this treatise was called "That our English beer is better then [sic] water". This chapter was not on the taste and preference of the two beverages, but rather on the safety of consuming one over the other. Other topics considered by Short included:
· Elderly and children are to avoid drinking water
· The virtues of drinking English beer
o "experience that beer is healthful"
· Consuming opium and poppy along with water
· That wine is absolutely better than water
· Effects of water on heart palpitations, gout, and dropsy
