Illustrated. “...Such was Christmas morning at Holly Hill in the old times before the war -- those times of Memory and Romance. Thus it was that at Christmas, 1863, when the blockading lines were drawn close and there were no new toys to be had for love or money, there were much disappointment and some murmurs at Holly Hills. The children had never really felt the war until then, though their father, Major Stafford, had been off, first with his company and then with his regiment, since April, 1861. War was on the whole a pleasant experience to the boys -- so many strangers came by. Battles were so interesting, and there was a bare chance of their seeing one, in which Bob was to lead a charge and capture the commanding General. But when Christmas came and there were no presents... war was realized. It… Ler mais

From Fullerton’s Selective Bibliography of American Literature, 1775-1900: Paine, widely acclaimed in New England as the leading American poet of his day, chiefly, perhaps, because he had no notable competitor -- was born in Taunton, Mass., was graduated at Harvard, and practiced law in a sort of desultory way, while devoting himself to poetry and the stage. Though estranged from his family because of his marriage to an actress, and thereafter something of a social vagabond, he was called upon as poet for all sorts of public occasions. Paine first became a celebrity with the appearance of his “Adams and Liberty,” a patriotic song which in its original boradside form is rarely found. His odes and heroic verses, though in reality essentially labored, pompous and quite… Ler mais

Boston: Little, Brown and Company, (1959). Octavo, green cloth (hardcover), xvii, 435 pp. Very Good, with slight sunning to edges; in a Very Good dust jacket with light edgewear. From dust jacket: “..Mr. Painter has identified all the places, people and facts, the encounters, friendships and loves in Marcel Proust’s life that went into the making of his great book and into his earlier novel, Jean Santeuil. He has succeeded in relating the man and his work as no other biographer has before him -- the man and his work and his society, for Mr. Painter’s book is both a critique of Proust and a social history of his time. This masterpiece of research is therefore a biography with all the excitement of a detective novel. We read of Proust’s split background, half Jewish, half Catholic, in the upper bourgeoisie; of his tender, complicated relationship with his mother; of his schoolboy essays, his early symptoms of asthma, the scenes in the salons where he is “cultivated.” Mr. Painter… Ler mais

Washington, D.C.: Regnery Publishing Inc., (2006). First Edition. Octavo, blue boards (hardcover), gilt letters, marbled endpapers, 424 pp.Fine in a Fine, mylar protected dust jacket. From dust jacket: Two great patriots. Two giants of the battlefield. Yet one became our greatest hero, and one became our most notorious traitor. In this enthralling new dual biography -- one of the very few to deal with Benedict Arnold -- military historian and former superintendent of West Point Dave R. Palmer shows how and why George Washington became the father of our country while Benedict Arnold became a man without a country. It was a surprising turn of events. No man was more ardent for the patriot cause and more recklessly brave on the battlefield than Benedict Arnold. After the first three years of the Revolutionary War, every patriot recognized as our two greatest warriors George Washington, commander of the Continental Army, and twice battle-wounded Benedict Arnold, captor of Fort Ticonderoga,… Ler mais
