Jacket is bright and glossy, with minimal shelf-rubbing and no tears, bumps, or creases. This is NOT an ex-library book and not a remainder. Nice copy! "Colonel the Hon. George Cadogan saw the Crimean War as a participant, and recorded his observations in pictures while on the battlefield. His superb watercolors, carefully arranged in a large album which has been kept and treasured by his family, present the Crimean War from a soldier's point of view, sometimes horrifying, sometimes whimsical, sometimes sentimental, but at all times true to the prevailing atmosphere and events of the period. The text is an abridged version of LETTERS FROM HEADQUARTERS by Lt. Col. S.J.G. Calthorpe, an officer on the Headquarters Staff, which was first published in two volumes in 1856 by John Murray and had two further editions in 1857 and 1858. These brilliant yet delicate watercolors superimposed upon a vivid narrative allow the modern reader a unique view of the Crimean War as experienced by two serving officers. This is art and military history combined to extraordinary effect.".…

Pamphlet. Condition: Good. Removed pamphlet, no wrappers, 66 pp., 4 x 6 1/4 inches, blotchy stains to front. "The Hand of God Revealed in the Life of J. B. Gough." A very early account. The original London edition was published in 1846.John Bartholomew Gough (1817-1886), born in England, Gough immigrated to the United States when he was twelve years old. He learned the bookbinder's trade and later took to the stage. His mother died of a stroke and Gough, despondent, began to drink. He married in 1838. The couple had a daughter but both mother and child died within days of each other. By the age of 25, Gough was unemployed, homeless, and a confirmed drunkard. In 1842 he attended a temperance meeting in Worcester, Massachusetts where he took a pledge to totally abstain from liquor. He began to tell his story to eager audiences and soon embarked on a career of lecturing against the evils of drink. During his career, Gough delivered some 9,600 lectures to more than nine million people in America, Canada, England, Scotland, and Ireland. Gough made three overseas tours and traveled extensively throughout the United States becoming the most sought-after Temperance lecturer in the country. When he died in 1886, the New York Times wrote that he "was probably better known in this country and in Great Britain than any other public speaker.".…
