Softcover. Condition: Very Good. The proponents of the ?new? military history were just gaining full momentum, when this book was first published in 1982. Their objective was to reach beyond the traditional focus of military studies?the flow of guns, combat, and tactics that influenced the immediate outcome of battles and martial conflicts, often with little reference to broader historical contexts. Believing that one cannot fully appreciate the Revolution without reckoning with the War for Independence and its effects in helping to shape the new American republic, Martin and Lender move beyond the deeply ingrained national mythology about the essence of the war effort, so neatly personified by the imagery of the embattled freehold farmer as the quintessential warrior of the Revolution. Then they integrate, not persist in keeping separate, the fascinating history of the real Continental army into the mainstream of writing about the nation-making experience of the United States. Extensive index and each chapter includes a bibliography.…

The Story of Tilford: From Prehistoric Times to 2000 (Tilford Parish Council, 2000) by Captain John E. Franklin is a locally published, illustrated village history that traces the development of Tilford—from its earliest human presence to the turn of the millennium. It is a first‑edition, parish‑commissioned local history, richly illustrated with photographs and maps, offering a chronological narrative of Tilford's landscape, archaeology, families, buildings, and community life from prehistory to the year 2000. Franklin begins with archaeological evidence from the wider River Wey valley—Neolithic flints, Bronze Age barrows, and early settlement patterns—placing Tilford within a long continuum of human activity. Nearby finds such as Roman tiles from an ancient tile‑making site help anchor the village's earliest documented presence. Medieval Foundations Tilford's first textual appearance is in the Domesday Book (1086) as part of the Hundred of Farnham. The book describes how the medieval landscape was shaped by: the Cistercian Waverley Abbey (12th century), whose agricultural influence extended into Tilford, early farming communities, the establishment of the ford and the two medieval bridges that still define the village. Early Modern Tilford (16th-18th centuries) Franklin covers the emergence of substantial farmhouses (some dating to the 16th century) and the gradual growth of Tilford's rural economy. Hop‑growing in the 17th-18th centuries likely contributed to population expansion and cottage building. The book also touches on notable estate owners such as Elizabeth Abney, whose detailed 18th‑century survey map survives in the British Library. Victorian and Edwardian Tilford The 19th century saw the consolidation of parish institutions: All Saints Church (1867), now Grade II listed, the development of schools and community buildings, the construction of Tilford House (1727) and later its chapel (1776), which continued to shape the village's architectural identity. Franklin's narrative typically includes family histories—such as the long‑standing Munday family—and the evolution of the village green as a social centre. Ref G 4.…

2 volumi in-16°, pp. 238; 189; brossura originale azzurra con titolo entro bordura esagonale. Restauri al dorso del tomo II. In barbe, in ottimo stato. Seconda edizione della prima versione italiana, di Giuseppe Rossi, nell'àmbito della Raccolta di Viaggi (prima edizione torinese, tomi XXIII-XXIV). John Franklin (Spilsby, Lincolnshire, 1786-Point-Victory, King William IV Island, 1847), fra i maggiori navigatori polari, nel 1845 partì da Londra con le navi Erebus e Terror, accompagnato dai capitani Crozier e Fitzjames, nel tentativo di scoprire il Passaggio di Nord-Ovest, morendo in tale impresa per la fame ed il freddo con tutti i 134 uomini della spedizione. La moglie, Jane Griffin, consumò tutti i propri averi nel vano tentativo di avere notizia della sorte del Franklin (per più dettagliate notizie, Umberto Toschi in Enciclopedia Italiana, XVI, 27). William Edward Parry (Bath, 1790-Greenwich, 1855) fu anch'egli, in cinque memorabili viaggi, alla ricerca del Passaggio di Nord-Ovest; l'aver passato il 110° meridiano gli fruttò un premio di 5000 sterline del parlamento inglese.
