Martino Publishing, Mansfield Centre, 2005 reprint of the 1892 first edition. Cloth, 8vo,. xxv, 358 pp, 152 pp, 1 large folding genealogical table, folding Map. From the publisher'sdescription: "Yemen was one of the oldest centers of civilization in the Near East. Between the 9th century BC and the 6th century AD, it was part of the Minaean, Sabaean, Himyarite, Qatabanian, Hadhramawtian, and Awsanian kingdoms, which controlled the lucrative spice trade. It was known to the Romans as "Arabia Felix" ("HappyArabia") because of the riches its trade generated; Augustus Caesar attempted to annex it, but the expedition failed. In the 7th century, Islamic caliphs began to exert control over the area. After this caliphate broke up, the former north Yemen came under control of Imams of various dynasties usually of the Zaidi sect, who established a theocratic political structure that survived until modern times.

Thomas Y. Crowell, New York, first edition, 1974. Cloth, 4to, 29 cm,. 466 pp, ills. From the uniquely rich and varied collection of children's literature in the Library of Congress, here is a rich sampling of writings and illustrations created for young readers in America from colonial times to 1900. They are reproduced here - many in facsimile - from the originals, some of which are extremely rare. The authors have provided thoughtful introductions to each section of reading, and an informative caption accompanies each selection of prose or verse. The works also speak for themselves, as generous passages, and even complete books, are included. Taken together, they provide a unique insight into what adults of that era felt most worthy of imparting to young minds, of passing on to the future; they are thus a sort of 'time capsule,' a fascinating segment of social history, as well as a vigorous and varied body of writing for children. Here is The New England Primer of 1773,…

A concise epitome of all matters relating to the arts of painting, sculpture, and architecture, which have occurred during the year. Together with information respecting the events of the year." "The year of the Rembrandt Centenary was celebrated with exhibitions in Amsterdam, Tokyo and Toronto. The year under review was also the anniversary year of Tiepolo and of Matisse. It was the year in which two of the great museums in the United States, the Metropolitan Museum and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, celebrated their centenaries. In many of the other fields covered in this book, 1969-70 could similarly be regarded as a time for looking back and taking stock of the situation. Several of the major collections still in private hands were transferred to public museums, notably the Oscar Reinhart collection to the Swiss State, the Bonacossi collection to the City of Florence and the Robert Lehman…
