SUSPENSEFUL: PERCEPTIVE: VIVID: FIRST-HAND: HARROWING: TRAGIC: DRAMATIC: NEW First Edition LOA hardcover (Orig. 2007) First Printing: NEW mylar-protected jacket showing orig. $45.00 price at bottom-right inside-front flyleaf * 5.12" x 8.12" x 1.72", 0.90 kg, xii+1332 (1344) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: One of the truly legendary figures of American history, the soldier, explorer, & colonist Captain John Smith was a vivid & prolific chronicler of the beginnings of English settlement in the New World. This LOA volume brings together 7 of his works, along w/ 16 additional narratives by other writers, that recount firsthand the tragic, harrowing, & dramatic events of the settlement of Roanoke & Jamestown. A founder of Jamestown in 1607, Smith exhibited the courage, determination, & leadership that all proved crucial to its survival. "A True Relation" tells of the colony's perilous first year, while "The Proceedings" & "The Generall Historie" continue the story of its struggle to survive & prosper. "A Description of New England" & "New England's Trials" describes Smith's exploration of the northern coast & the prospects for its settlement. In "The True Travels" Smith recalls his adventures as a soldier in Eastern Europe & his amazing escape from Turkish slavery. Advertisements for the "Unexperienced Planters", his last book, is a critical examination of the successes & failures of the English colonial enterprise. Written in a consistently lively style, Smith's works are filled w/ suspense, astonishment, & keen observations of American Indian cultures & New World landscapes. The 16 additional narratives include accounts of the "Lost Colony" of Roanoke, the horrific "starving time" at Jamestown, & a shipwreck off Bermuda. Amplifying & sometimes challenging Smith's version of events, these narratives capture the fear & fascination of early encounters w/ the Indians; the brutality, desperation, & ingenuity of settlers facing extreme hardship; the complex interplay of feuds & rivalries, both between the English & the Powhatan Indians & within the colony itself; and the enduring story of Pocahontas, who came to occupy a unique place between 2 cultures.

A Young Man Comes to London is a charming promotional book privately published by The Dorchester Hotel in London to celebrate its opening in 1931. It contains a short story by Michael Arlen, illustrated with line drawings by Cecil Beaton. Arlen's story is a satirical romance involving two Bright Young Things on the make. Arlen himself was a figure of London society and his story, complemented by Beaton's illustrations, perfectly captures the mix of flightiness and bravado of the young 1920s set. The second-half of the book is devoted to the building and interiors of the new Dorchester. The Hotel's developers Sir Francis Towle and Sir Malcolm McAlpine provide 'A Brief History of a New Enterprise' and 'Some Facts and Figures about the Dorchester' respectively. Professor C.H. Reilly offers an architect's perspective. The colour plates, which reproduce drawings of the hotel's interior, are a different selection compared to other copies we have seen. Beaux Books specialises in fine and rare books on art and culture in the 20th and 21st centuries. We welcome questions about our books and we are happy to provide any extra images. Buy with confidence from an experienced bookseller. Text illustrations by Cecil Beaton. (illustrator).…
