Assumed first US edition. Hardback, in a half-leather binding with gilt titling and five raised bands to the spine. Marbled paper covered boards and marbled edges (faint). 20.5 × 14cm, 543pp. This copy was given to American soprano Clara Louise Kellogg in December 1964. The inscription reads ""Miss Kellogg from Fordyce Barker, Xmas 1864"". Kellogg (1842-1916) was the first US-born prima donna, and in the early 1860s was making her name as Marguerite in the New York premiere of Charles Gounod's Faust. Dr Fordyce Barker (1818-1891) was a well-known New York physician who was at the Bellevue Hospitals in New York in the 1860s. First published in England in 1863, this is a study of female opera singers from the early eighteenth century to the (then) present day, including Katherine Tofts and Magarita de L'Epine, Francesca Cuzzoni and Faustina Bordoni, Elizabeth Billington, Rosamunda Pisaroni, Henrietta Sontag, Jenny Lind Goldschmidt and many more. The book is illustrated with ten portraits and ends with a chronological list of operas. Condition: The leather and boards are rubbed to all edges, with some surface abrasion to the marbled boards. The marbling to the page edges is faint. The inner binding is secure, the prelims have light foxing and tanning and the main body of text is in good order. There is some inoffensive pencil annotation in the book (marginalia and at the end of some chapters) which I believe to be later than the inscription but not modern.

PROVENANCE: Harry N Greatorex Theatre Collection. Extract from the Derby Daily Telegraph 11 April 1974. ""Mr Harry Greatorexs collection of historical theatrical effects and literature was so out of hand - so the largest room in his Swanwick home has been enlarged to cope. Mr Greatorex believes he has the finest private collection theatrical effects outside London and he receives several in-quaries authors and student each month. ""Nine times out of ten I can supply the information they are wanting he says. His collection is filed away neatly but there is more work to be done on cross-indexing. He has specialised in collecting items from provincial theatres, but has a collection of every programme of every production on the London stage from about the turn century to around 1950. Mr Greatorex began his collection in 1940 when he went to production the pantomime Red Riding Hood at the Grand Theatre Derby. He is in the entertainments business himself and owns the Ballroom Ripley and Ripley roller-skating rink. Some items from his collection which includes Hairy Lauders walking stick although this is not on show are now on display at Ripley Library in an exhibition called Two Hundred Years of Theatre in Derbyshire"". AUTHOR: The author / editor, John Kemble Chapman [1795-1851] publisher and printer of The Sunday Times (originally published in 1821 as The New Observer only becoming the Sunday Times in 1823 - with no relationship to the Times). Chapman was well known in theatrical and sporting circles and the Royal Dramatic Record appears to be an attempt both at a scholarly history of theatre as played before various British sovereigns and a flattering offering to the young queen and her consort. The opening remarks.the habits of a nation are formed by the pursuits of its rulers. and the example thus set by the sovereign can scarcely fail to be productive of beneficial effects, especially in what relates to the encouragement of the drama. Clearly, Chapman hopes that Victorias patronage of the theatre will help revive the drama. In this sense the work is both a historical record and plea for the stage to be reclaimed as an art form. Chapman especially praises...

University of Pennsylvania Press. Philadelphia. 2005. 269 pages. First edition, first printing with full numberline including 1. Book is fine. Bright, tight and clean. Warmly inscribed by the author to her cousin on the title page. A rich historical account—drawing on years of unpublished Bonaparte family letters, Stroud reveals how Bonaparte's 17 year exile was spent in regal splendor high above the banks of the Delaware River in New Jersey. Upon his escape from France in 1815, Joseph arrived in New Jersey with a fortune in hand and shortly embarked upon building and fitting out the magnificent New Jersey estate he called Point Breeze. The palatial house was filled with paintings and sculpture by such luminaries as David, Canova, Rubens, and Titian. The surrounding park extended to 1,800 acres of luxuriously landscaped gardens, with twelve miles of carriage roads, an artificial lake, and a network of subterranean tunnels that aroused much local speculation. And then came the influx of noble guests, friends and dignitaries. Winner of Second Prize in the 2005 book competition of the International Napoleonic Society and Winner of the 2006 New Jersey Council for the Humanities Annual Book Award.

Eskridge was a lineal descendant of both General Robert E. Lee and General George Washington. After moving to Southern California he studied at USC, and the Los Angeles College of Fine Arts. He served in the army during WWI and was stationed at Camp Jackson, South Carolina. Later he studied at both the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts. In Chicago he was a member of the Chicago Society of Etchers, and left behind a set of murals depicting Marco Polo's journey in the lobby of the Palmer House Hotel. In 1920, when Eskridge was living on Coronado Island, his prints were shown at the Little Gallery of the San Diego Museum of Art. He then studied in Paris with both George Senseney and the cubist André L'hote. Eskridge travelled extensively and in the 1920s he spent eight months on Manga Reva an island 1,000 miles south east of Tahiti with a population of less than 200 inhabitants. There he executed numerous paintings, drawings and watercolors. After returning to the US, he wrote and illustrated a book titled 'Manga Reva, The Forgotten Islands'. After moving to Honolulu in 1932, Eskridge taught at the University of Hawaii, and worked as a WPA Muralist. He also wrote and illustrated 'UMI, The Hawaiian Boy Who Became a King.' In January and February of 1933 his work was featured in an exhibition at the Honolulu Academy of Arts. In Hawaii, Eskridge was friendly with many other artists including Don Blanding who he had met in art school, and also with Georgia O'Keefe who gave Eskridge her paints and palette after she visited Hawaii in 1939. After the war Eskridge returned to Hawaii, painted watercolors, oils and murals. Among his public works were a series of watercolor paintings for the Kona Inn, and murals for the Ala Moana Sports Pavilion. Robert Eskridge died in Honolulu in 1975."" - Geringer Art Ltd.

This compelling first edition is signed by each of the nine co-authors on their photograph pages, which precede their respective chapters. Condition is fine in a fine dust jacket. The binding and contents are pristine with no reportable wear or flaws. ""First Edition"" is printed on the copyright page. The dust jacket is clean and complete, preserved beneath a clear, removable, archival cover. Spanning over a decade, these stories recall the experience of nine extraordinary women who reported on the Vietnam War: Tad Bartimus, Denby Fawcett, Jurate Kazickas, Edith Lederer, Ann Bryan Mariano, Anne Morrissy Merick, Laura Palmer, Kate Webb, and Tracy Wood. Denby Fawcett, who is currently a Hawaii television and newspaper journalist, recalls at the beginning of her story soldiers saying, ""They must have paid you a fortune to come here."" ‘They’ didn’t. In fact, Fawcett made next to nothing initially, and had to stretch meager finances to cover basic necessities. But, like Fawcett, all the writers were drawn there, some on assignment, one following her husband, others on their own dime, one stuffing her suitcase with sundresses and swimsuits—""how do you pack for war?"" she asks—others arriving jungle-ready, all inexorably drawn to a profoundly fraught, dismal, politically and ethically complex conflict.To encapsulate this book merely as women reporters struggling in the midst of phallocentric conflict would be both reductive and an invitation to allow the sex of these reporters to eclipse their contributions. But being a non-combatant female in a war zone has its obvious disadvantages, the confrontation of which is a noteworthy feat, particularly half a century ago. Of course, the military regularly attempted to curtail their exposure to combat, but the challenges they faced were more than merely institutional; Webb was captured by the Viet Cong and Kazickas was hit in the spine by shrapnel. Both survived to tell their tales here in this book.At times, the theme and tension of gender punches through the war horror in surprising moments of tenderness and longing, such as when Kazickas writes, ""I tried to keep a professional distance, but I could not help being attracted to many of these men, and on nearly every patrol, there would be a soldier with whom I would connect in a special way. Sometimes in the dark we would lie down and watch the distant flashes of artillery, red-and-orange streaks playing havoc with the stars. We'd sneak some cigarettes and sip smuggled Scotch as we whispered stories of our lives through the long night. The sexual tension was intense, delicious, heartbreaking. Yet I was so careful of my reputation, I did not dare allow even our fingers to touch.""War Torn distills and amalgamates the hard-earned perspective of remarkably intrepid women who chose to inhabit a time and place that, for them, presented norms even more hostile than those of mere war. War Torn is charged with stark realities, complicities, courage, and...

Jenkins BTB 124(d) : ""One of the most remarkable accounts of life among hostile Texas Indians, this is also one of the few surviving accounts of life in 19th century Texas from the Indian point of view."" One of the very best Indian-captive narratives, by a boy who spent nine years among the Apache and Comanche and, surprisingly, enjoyed himself. When forced to return to white civilization in 1878, he resisted and never completely reconciled himself to his compulsory return to American civilization. He remained sympathetic to and friendly with the Native tribes with whom he'd lived, and was considered until his death a full member of the Apache nation.
