Description:
Title on spine is "Tisbury's Town and Proprietors' Records." One of 500 copies. Spine tanned, a little age darkening, small scratch and a little scuffing on bottom right of rear board but otherwise volume is complete, tight, unmarked and wholly sound.This unique work was meticulously deciphered, arranged and recorded over many years as a labor of love by William S. Swift (1861-1936), civil engineer and surveyor and longtime town clerk of Vineyard Haven, and Jennie Cleveland, assistant town clerk.The Records provides an extraordinary look into the daily lives of Americans (who were not Americans when these records began) from the 17th to the 19th century. It details the real-life problems, concerns, attitudes, and solutions that concerned America from colonial times to the Revolutionary War ("...the unhappy State of the Province in general and of Said County [Dukes] in Particular." p. 206) through to the Civil War, and provides insights into British colonial and American life unobtainable elsewhere.…

Description:
Book is in good+ condition. Pages tight (some uncut), a little age-darkened, but no foxing. Map in good condition, with slight staining; protective tissue present but detached. Some separation of front hinge. Rebound?Charles Thomas Marvin was the correspondent for the Globe at St. Petersburg and an accomplished writer on Russia. In 1882 the radical liberal member of Parliament for Newcastle upon Tyne, Joseph Cowan, sent him to Russia to interview the generals and statesmen involved in the Russo-Indian/Central Asian Question, a matter of considerable concern to the British in view of their extensive interests in the region. This book is the result, and it is a fascinating account (quite well written) of the apparently very frank views of the Russian military and political leadership regarding Anglo-Russian relations, capabilities, strategic interests and intentions in the area.
