Description:
1888 Black Phalanx Negro Soldiers African American Military Civil War Abolition
Joseph T. Wilson was an African-American soldier who served in the 54th Massachusetts during the American Civil War. While his military career was not extensive, it did provide him with an understanding of the role that black men had during the 19th-century. He began writing poems and speeches, most of which were used to push an abolitionist-like agenda – black suffrage, full citizenship, and social reforms. His best book, and to this day most-known, was 'The Black Phalanx' which was the most comprehensive study of African-American military service in the 19th-century.

Description:
1686 GREEK & ROMAN Military Dutch Netherlands Wars Elephants Woodcuts Paffenrode

Jan van Paffenrode was a 17th-century Dutch soldier who was much better known for his poems and writings on military tactics than his military service. After the successes of his poems and his translation portions of Ovid's 'Metamorphoses', Paffenrode wrote a treatise on Greek and Roman military at the onset of the Franco-Dutch War in in the 1670s. This work, "Greek and Roman Military Trade" compared ancient classical battle tactics to modern Dutch techniques.

This 1686 edition includes numerous engravings depicting gear and weaponry used in ancient battles – footwear, helmets, scepters. However, the illustration of the War Elephant is easily the most interesting of all of the engravings found in this work!

1774 William Shakespeare PLAYS Illustrated Theatre Julius Caesar Winters Tale 3v

"The remarkable thing about Shakespeare is that he is really very good - in spite of all the people who say he is very good."
– Robert Graves

A rare set of the plays of William Shakespeare. This three-volume lot includes some of the most famous works of Shakespearean theatre, including A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night, and Julius Caesar. The plays in this collection are 'acting versions' of the staged plays, and according to Ritchie and Sabor,
"this edition offers a valuable record of the ways in which the plays were being altered at the time, with an introductory advertisement justifying this practice." (Ritchie & Sabor, p.397)
John Bell, the publisher of this landmark set, provided a "read-along guide to contemporary theatrical display with direct references to the performance of Shakespeare on the contemporary stage, it had commercial appeal." (R&S, p.232).

This beautiful, charming set includes 26… Read More

1855 San Francisco 1st ed California Gold Rush Illustrated MAPS Soule Indians

First published in 1855, 'The Annals of San Francisco' is oft considered the most important book on the history of the city of San Francisco, California. It was written by three collective authors, Soule, Gihon, and Nisbet, and focuses on all of the events that lead to the boom of the city, most importantly the Gold Rush just a few years prior. 'Annals' is divided into three major sections: a summary of Spanish California, annals of the city, and topographical descriptions of utilities and businesses. There is also information on settlers' interactions with natives.

This book was placed on the Zamorano Eighty in 1945 signifying it as one of the most significant early volumes published on the history of California.

1578 LIVY History of Rome Ab Urbe Condita Caesar Punic WARS Feyerabend Godelevaeus

"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.
