Longmans & Green (London), 1893. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Scarce. 209p.+24pp. publisher's catalogue at the rear. "This little book is an account of a few of my recent experiences, illustrating some of the manners and customs of the most ancient, distant, and least known savages surviving in Asia." Howard, who travelled to Siberia and beyond to study the state of medical care in prisons, encountered the Ainu (Ezo) on Sakhalin and Yezo Islands and produced this early and important ethnological study. A surgeon during the American Civil War, Howard was the doctor who treated General Hooker's foot wound at the beginning of the Battle of Antietam. While not marked as such, this book came from the library of the Dutch poets and bibliophile Boudewijn Buch. Minor wear to the spine & corners, with light foxing throughout, otherwise a clean, bright, and tight copy, with no markings. In stock, ready to ship now from Evanston, IL!

While in Cuba, where slavery was still legal, Turnbull was blamed for creating unrest and slave revolts which resulted in his being expelled from Cuba. His experiences spurred him to write his book 'Travels in the West' in which he denounces slavery in Cuba and discussed the 'controversies' he created in the Caribbean slave movement.
Turnbull also describes tobacco, coffee, and sugar plantations and the reliance on slave labor in the commerce and trade markets.

Description:
Indianapolis: Dog Ear Publishing, January 2013. Trade Paperback. Fine. Slight reading wear to corners, otherwise pristine. Not from a library. No remainder mark. Not clipped. Not damaged. Suitable for gifting. 163 pages. The 25 authors of this book were volunteers in the first Peace Corps rural community development project in Africa: Sierra Leone, 1965-67. They are also the first group to tell a collective story of Peace Corps volunteers, anywhere. The Peace Corps was in its infancy then, and memories of John Kennedy were strong among the young volunteers. Sierra Leone was also in its infancy in the first few years after independence, before military coups and tribal warfare became common. The authors forthrightly recount their feelings of loneliness and isolation, and their frightening experiences with secret societies and witchcraft, but their uniquely optimistic "can-do" American attitude brought most through a great life experience.

London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme & Brown, 1823. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. pp: [viii]ix-xii [1]2-544. FIRST EDITION. Bound in brown half-leather over marbled boards, title in gilt within a red title piece. The first edition of the author's first book. William Wilson (1772-1849) inherited a substantial sum from an uncle, and decided to indulge his passion for travel. He travelled throughout Europe and The Middle East and wrote a series of books. This was his first, and it was the most popular, going through several editions. This is a good copy as all plates, including the frontispiece, have been excised. The boards show moderate wear, heavier at the spine ends. The front hinge is cracked. The text block is mainly clean with a few marks of unknown origin.

Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 1/2") issued in blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and gilt sailing ship to front cover. Translated by Anthony Mango. Second Series, volumes 138 and 139. First edition.By the early sixteenth century the loosely knit kingdom of Georgia had disintegrated from the strong monarch of the middle ages to a number of small states and principalities. This internal disunity made the Georgians easy victims of the power politics of the neighboring Ottoman and Safavid empires, and by the end of the century the southward drive of the Russians intensified the struggle for military and diplomatic control over the whole of the Caucasian isthmus.

Octavo (8 3/4" x 5 1/2") issued in blue cloth with gilt lettering to spine and gilt sailing ship to front cover. Translated by Anthony Mango. Second Series, volumes 177 and 181. First edition.The eighteenth century saw a resurgence of hope that a Northwest Passage - that elusive target of European seamen over the centuries - might yet be found. Prompted by the Irish MP Arthur Dobbs, the Admiralty sent the Furnace and Discovery to Hudson Bay in 1741 in search of navigable passage to the Pacific. The expedition was commanded by Christopher Middleton, until his resignation in March 1741 a sea-captain in the service of the Hudson Bay Company. With his actions closely scrutinized by his former…
