1645 Erasmus of Rotterdam On the Writing of Letters Latin Rhetoric Humanism

"When I have a little money, I buy books; and if I have any left, I buy food and clothes."

― Erasmus

Erasmus's 'De Conscribendis Epistolis', or 'On the Writing of Letters', is one of the earliest and best treatises on letter writing. It was a unique work that described the main differences between giving speeches or orations and simply writing a conversational letter. Erasmus was mostly known for his Greek New Testament and works that influenced the Protestant Reformation; however, he wrote other scholarly works that attacked the learned norms of writing such as 'Ciceronianus' and this work on letters.

1867 CIVIL WAR History Abbott Illustrated Slavery Abe Lincoln Battle Maps RARE

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.
