1838 1ed Shipwreck of Stirling Castle Australia James Fraser Voyages Illustrated

The Stirling Castle was a Scottish ship who is remembered for its fateful voyage where it wrecked near Queensland, Australia. Commanded by James Fraser, this ship was on an excursion toward Singapore where they ran aground on the reefs. Those that survived the wreck were taken into camps by local Aboriginal people of the Butchulla tribes.

'The Shipwreck of the Stirling Castle' is a rare account of the wreck and the events of the survivors. Written by John Curtis, this book describes the tortures endured by the survivors, including Fraser's wife Eliza. In addition to describing the wreck and the local tribes, Curtis describes the landscape of Australia and Amboyana Islands, account of 'kangaroo dogs' (dingo), influence of the British government and British missionaries in Australia, along with impressive full-page engravings depicting events of the voyage. One notable engraving is an illustration of Captain Fraser being stripped naked and speared.

It was Lowther who first provided many now-familiar details of Superman's birth and early life.

John S. C. Abbott' writing style "did much to popularize the reading of history."
– Dictionary of American Biography

"History of the Civil War in America" is an extremely useful account of the Civil War and was published in a time wherein it would have been read as news rather than history. Though well researched, the author makes use of colorful narrative style giving these more the feel of a popular account than a sober and authoritative text. Features events leading to the cause of the conflict through Lincoln's assassination in April of 1865 and with a final chapter on the results of the conflict as of the date of publication.

Filled with incredible illustrations of maps, portraits, and scenes.

1887 FOLIO Rime of Ancient Mariner Coleridge Gustave Dore & Paton Illustrated

Known as one of the English Lake Poets, Samuel Taylor Coleridge was one of the most notable 19th-century English romance poets. Coleridge's longest poem was 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner'. This poem was one of the most important poems written at the end of the 18th-century, as it was known to begin the shift from the Romantic period into the Modern period of English poetry. It describes the sea voyages of a sailor who experienced dangers, adventures, and even supernatural encounters!

This huge 1887 edition is notable for including the illustrations of Gustave Dore and Joseph Noel Paton. In addition to the highly desirable art, this edition features commentary and critical notes by Alfred Trumble.

Description:
1871 Robert E Lee 1st ed Civil War Military Confederate Army Illustrated CSA Map

"Human virtue should be equal to human calamity."
­­--Robert E. Lee

John Esten Cooke was an American novelist, writer and poet. During the American Civil War, Cooke served as a staff officer in the Confederate States Army cavalry.

After he started writing, he almost immediately became a successful novelist and prolific short story writer, eventually authoring 31 books and almost 200 published articles and poems Even before the end of the war, in 1863, Cooke wrote the first of several popular biographies, that of Stonewall Jackson. His later efforts at biography, such as this biography of Robert E. Lee as well as officers that he had personally known, were considered more accurate that his early Jackson biography.

"A Life of Gen. Robert E. Lee" was published just after Lee's death. It includes 25 illustrations and maps.

"Men of outstanding ability are more likely to lack the power of controlling their own people than of defeating an enemy in battle."
― Livy, The History of Rome

Few works on the history of Rome are as important and impactful as Livy's 'Ab Urbe Condita.' Livy began working on this work at the end of the 1st-century BC and covers the earliest times and the foundation of Rome through the reign of Caesar Augustus.

This extremely rare 16th-century printing of Livy was published in Frankfurt, Germany in 1578 and features the commentary of Wilhelm Godelevaeus and Sigmund Feyerabend.

1680 RARE Franciscan Fortunat Hueber Solemnis Sublimis Bible Devotional Vellum

Fortunatus Hueber was a 17th-century German historian and confessor who was relatively unknown outside of Bavaria. Nevertheless, he wrote many treatises on Franciscan saints and foundations as well as devotionals and church histories. One of his lesser-known works was "Apparatus Solemnis Sublimis" – a devotional describing the character of Christ through signs, anecdotes and sayings of church fathers, and descriptions of ecclesiastical concepts and symbols. Each section or 'apparatus' of this book is based on a verse from scripture.

The decorative vellum binding on this 1680 first edition is particularly desirable, especially with the functioning leather and brass clasps.
