‎History of the early part of the reign of James the Second‎

‎with and introductory chapter bythe right hon. Charles James Fox reliure cartonnée, 30x20, beau papier, bel état intérieur, complet de son frontispice, 273pp + fragments et appendice, dont correspondance entre Louis XIV et Barillon entre 1684 et 1685, etc.. London, printed for William Miller, 1808. Edition Originale. "History of the Early Part of the Reign of James the Second" is a historical work written by Charles James Fox, a prominent British statesman and politician of the late 18th century. The book was published posthumously in 1808 and focuses on the early years of the reign of James II of England, who ruled from 1685 to 1688. In this work, Fox provides a detailed account of the political and religious developments during James II's reign. He examines the policies and actions of the king, including his attempts to strengthen Catholicism in England and his clashes with Protestantism and Parliament. Fox also discusses the controversies surrounding James II's attempts to expand his royal prerogative and his strained relationship with the English nobility and the Church of England. Fox's "History of the Early Part of the Reign of James the Second" offers a critical perspective on the reign of James II and the events leading up to the Glorious Revolution of 1688. It provides insights into the political, religious, and constitutional issues of the time, as well as the broader implications for the balance of power between the monarchy and Parliament. The book is regarded as an important historical account and a valuable source for understanding the political and religious conflicts of 17th-century England.‎

‎Mexico and the Americans ‎

‎New York Frederick A. Praeger 1963 ‎

‎First edition. In original dust jacket. Fascinating, both historically and in the present climate. In James' own words "a provocative analysis of the history of relations between Mexico and the United States on all levels - diplomatic, military, economic, and social - considered in terms of Mexico's developing nationalism and America's attitudes to it". 472 pp. 220 x 150 mm (8Ÿ x 6 inches). Dust jacket has some light bumping and a very small nick to the top edge on the front. Inside the book is in a very good / fine condition. Freelance American journalist, Daniel James (b. 1914), covered Latin America during the Cold War years. His writings reflect two themes: 1) that the region had become a primary target for Soviet aggression against interests of the United States; and 2) that American policies had failed to reflect the importance of the region to the United States. The author of hundreds of columns, articles and at least four books on these topics, including: "Red design for the Americas: Guatemala prelude" (1954), James first went to Latin America in 1953. He described Communist activity in Guatemala and in British Guiana in articles published in that year. James continued to publish articles reflecting his favorite themes in "Harper's," "The Saturday Evening Post," and the "London Observer." Later, he prepared a study of U.S. business activities in Mexico for the United States Embassy and the American Chamber of Commerce in Mexico (1956). From 1955 through 1967 Daniel James was a syndicated columnist for the Hearst Newspapers and SPADEA, publishing his views under the title: "Dateline Latin America." During the 1960s he published: "Cuba: the first Soviet satellite in the Americas" (1961); "Mexico and the Americas" (1963); and, "Che Guevara; A biography" (1969), the last written with the aid of diaries found when their Guevara was killed while trying to start a Communist revolution in Bolivia (1967). Subsequently, James was for four years a tourism director in Mexico City (1974-1978). After 1987 he operated the Mexico-United States Institute in Washington, D.C.‎

‎A letter from the right honourable Charles James Fox, to the worthy and independent electors of the city and liberty of Westminster. ‎

‎London J. Debrett 1793 Deuxième édition. Bel exemplaire de cette lettre ouverte adressée à ses électeurs par le radical Charles James Fox. Il y défend sa position radicale et son opposition à la guerre avec la France. Cette lettre est importante car la France déclara la guerre au Royaume-Uni six jours plus tard. Bien que cet exemplaire semble dépourvu de la moitié du titre et d'un blanc, puisqu'il commence par la page de titre, et que le feuillet suivant porte la signature B, notre exemplaire suit la pagination de l'OCLC 6595972. Nous supposons donc que la deuxième édition n'avait pas de demi-titre. La table des matières est complète. A la fin se trouve un seul feuillet de publicité de Debretts, avec un "the" suspendu indiquant qu'il devrait y avoir un deuxième feuillet (ici manquant). Cousu avec de la ficelle (comme pour tous les autres exemplaires que nous avons vus). Les couvertures ont un peu de marques et d'usure, mais à l'intérieur, le contenu est propre et bien rangé. [ii], 43, [1]. pages. Charles James Fox, un réformateur Whig radical, a été élu pour la première fois pour un borough pourri en 1768 alors qu'il était encore mineur. Il représenta pour la première fois l'important borough de Westminster en 1780, et resta leur membre du parlement jusqu'à sa mort en 1806. 20 cm x 11,5 cm. Conforme à WorldCat / OCLC : 6595972.‎

‎Second edition. A nice copy of this open letter to his constituents, from the political radical Charles James Fox. It argued his radical position and opposition to war with France. Significant here, as France declared war on the United Kingdom six days later. Although this copy seems to lack the half title and a blank, as it begins with the title page, and the next leaf has the signature B, our copy follows the pagination of OCLC 6595972. So we assume that the second edition had no half title. Contents themselves are complete. To the end is a single leaf of advertisements from Debretts, end with a hanging "the" indicating there should be a second leaf (here lacking). Sewn with twine (as with all other copies we have seen). The covers have a little marking and edgewear, but inside, the contents are clean and tidy throughout. [ii], 43, [1]. pages. Charles James Fox, a radical Whig reformer, was first elected for a rotten borough in 1768 whilst he was still underage. He first represented the significant borough of Westminster in 1780, and remained their member of parliament until his death in 1806. 20cm x 11.5cm. Conforms to WorldCat / OCLC: 6595972. .‎

‎Première édition au format in-16° de cette célèbre relation du voyage de James Bruce (1730-1794) à la recherche des sources du Nil, traduite en français par P. F. Henry et finement illustrée par Tardieu. Ecossais dorigine, James Bruce est nommé ambassadeur à Alger en 1763. Il débute alors son exploration de l'Egypte, du Nil bleu, du désert de la mer Rouge, de l'Arabie heureuse et de l'Abyssinie. Son expédition Sur proposition de Lord Halifax, le but de son voyage était la découverte des Sources du Nil et l'observation du passage de Vénus devant le disque du soleil en 1769. L'importance des explorations de Bruce a été longtemps méconnue, et l'on a même douté de leur entière véracité, tant certaines des aventures qu'il raconte ont paru extraordinaires. Mais plusieurs voyageurs - Combes et Tamisier, Léon Delaborde (Revue française, 1838, VII, 424) ont confirmé par la suite l'exactitude de ses récits. Malgré quelque inexpérience scientifique, les travaux de Bruce ont contribué à faire mieux connaître la géographie et l'histoire naturelle d'une Afrique encore peu connue. Bien quil na atteint que les sources d'un affluent, le Nil bleu, son voyage est considéré comme le premier vraiment scientifique en Afrique qui fait entrer ce continent dans la géographie positive Ses aperçus sur l'Abyssinie, en particulier sur les moeurs esclavagistes et sur les religions de cette partie de l'Afrique sont dune grande richesse. Il rentre en Angleterre en 1773 et publie la relation de ses voyages (Edinburgh, 1790). La présente édition constitue, parue dans la collection de la « Bibliothèque portative des voyages », est la première de ce format. Son iconographie est constituée est constituée d1 portrait frontispice de lauteur, d1carte dépliante placée en tête de latlas et de 21 planches à pleine page dethnologie, de botanique et de zoologie, gravées par Tardieu lainé. Provenance : Bibliothèque de E. & F. Girod (Ex-libris). Très bel exemplaire, parfaitement conservé dans sa reliure dorigine. Gay, Bibliographie des ouvrages relatifs à l'Afrique et à l'Arabie, 1875, p. 5 ; Michaux, Bio universelle, V, pp. 666-667. 8 vols. of text and 1 in-16° atlas (138 x 86 mm) of: I. frontispiece; 237 pp. (including notice, title); II. 225 pp.; III. 244 pp. (including notice, title); IV. 255 pp. (including notice, title); V. 255 pp. (including notice, title); VI. 223 pp. (including notice, title); VII. 213 pp. (including notice, title); VIII. 258 pp. (including notice, title); Atlas. 108 pp. (including notice, title); [1] p. (notice); 1 folding map as frontispiece; 21 plates (numbered from 2 to 22, 1 being the frontispiece of the first volume). Bookplate: Library of E. & F. Girod. Contemporary half sheepskin, covers covered with pink glue paper with green vellum corners, decorated smooth spines, navy blue title and volume number, speckled edges, marbled paper endpapers, signed with blue silk (minor defects of use and discoloration). First edition in 16° format of this famous account of the voyage of James Bruce (1730-1794) in search of the sources of the Nile, translated into French by P. F. Henry and finely illustrated by Tardieu. Scottish by origin, James Bruce was appointed ambassador to Algiers in 1763. He then began his exploration of Egypt, the Blue Nile, the Red Sea desert, Arabia Felix and Abyssinia. His expedition On the proposal of Lord Halifax, the aim of his voyage was to discover the Sources of the Nile and to observe the passage of Venus across the disk of the sun in 1769. The importance of Bruce's explorations was long overlooked, and their entire veracity was even doubted, so extraordinary did some of the adventures he recounted seem. But several travellers - Combes and Tamisier, Léon Delaborde (Revue française, 1838, VII, 424) subsequently confirmed the accuracy of his accounts. Despite some scientific inexperience, Bruce's work contributed to a better understanding of the geography and natural history of a still little-known Africa. Although he only reached the sources of a tributary, the Blue Nile, his voyage is considered the first truly scientific one in Africa that brought this continent into positive geography. His insights into Abyssinia, in particular into the slave customs and religions of this part of Africa are of great richness. He returned to England in 1773 and published the account of his travels (Edinburgh, 1790). This edition, published in the collection of the "Portable Library of Travel", is the first of this format. Its iconography consists of 1 frontispiece portrait of the author, 1 folding map placed at the head of the atlas and 21 full-page plates of ethnology, botany and zoology, engraved by Tardieu the elder. Provenance: Library of E. & F. Girod (Ex-libris). A very fine copy, perfectly preserved in its original binding.
