1909 1ed Mark Twain Is Shakespeare Dead? Francis Bacon Authorship Plays English
"The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man who lives fully is prepared to die at any time."
― Mark Twain
Mark Twain and his works were immensely popular all on their own. Such notable characters as Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn stood out about other 19th-century literary characters, and not just in the United States.
One of Twain's lesser-known works was his book 'Is Shakespeare Dead?', a work in which Twain discusses the authenticity of the authorship of the works of Shakespeare. Twain, like many conspiracy theorists, claim that Sir Francis Bacon wrote the famed plays attributed to Shakespeare. In addition to the skepticism on Shakespeare, Twain describes scenes from his own early life in which he explored this controversy with a steamboat captain.
This rare first edition is a fine addition to a Twain collection with controversial content suitable for Shakespearean scholars.

An impressive, folio printing of the music of Franz Joseph Haydn.
Haydn is, without question, one of the most important and recognized figures in the history of classical music. Haydn's only mistake was composing and performing at the same time as Mozart. However, Haydn's music is still highly playable and enjoyed around the world.
This tome is the viola part to Haydn's string quartets and sonatas. These books were published around 1830 in Paris.

"All wizards and witches are the professed and sworn enemies of God. O prince, O King, let not witches live!"
– Jeremias Drexel
Jeremias Drexel was a 17th-century Jesuit writer and preacher, who ultimately gave up preaching to teach and write. His works surround Christian living, truth, and virtues of life. Drexel also wrote several works relating to heaven, Christian zodiac, and the unknowns of eternity. 'Caelum Beatorum Civitas Aeternitatis' is a treatise on heaven, the behaviors and attributes of God, the joys of experiencing God, and the keys to eternal life.
