Richard Fenton (1747-1821), poet and topographical writer. His friends included Oliver Goldsmith, David Garrick, Samuel Johnson, Sir Richard Colt Hoare, William Owen Pughe, Theophilus Jones and Sir Joshua Reynolds. "He built up a large library of books, manuscripts … and toured Wales extensively to visit prehistoric sites, many of which he excavated, and other features in the landscape. His books and journals, more tour literature than history, are entertaining reading, being an attractive mixture of accurate reporting and recording interspersed with personal descriptions of scenery and accounts of oral history, local legends, and substantial alfresco meals." ODNB
John Fisher (1862-1930), Welsh scholar. FSA.

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.

In the Moluccas, he sold the Ruby and purchased the Nautilus; correspondingly, the test is divided into two sections.

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.

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.
