Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First Edition ( 'First Printed 1970'). Jacket illustration of Chelsea Reach by Walter Greaves. As you can see from the photos, the blue covers are very clean and in top-notch condition. I don't see any wear on any of the six edges or four corners. The gilt and red lettering and design on the spine is very bright. The book is square, not slanted, and very solidly bound from cover to cover. The pages are in excellent condition. In scrolling through, I didn't see any soiling at all. There is a little toning at some of the margins of the glossy mapped inside covers and end papers, very minor. I didn't see any creasing on any of the pages. No dogeared corners. There aren't any markings. No attachments. On the half-title page a Katharine Steckley or Stickley has neatly penned her name as well as the date, February 1972. One might have expected that she had something to do with the book. She may have, but I didn't find her name in the index or elsewhere. I didn't try very hard so maybe there's a connection. Or maybe she was simply a previous owner. Either way, there is no other writing to be found anywhere in the book. There is a full-page color frontispiece and there are 25 black and white illustrations. They all appear to be in excellent condition. You can see the dust jacket in the first few photos. It is in very good condition. It is very clean. It has a few tiny scuffs at the corners, one a bit larger at the bottom edge of the spine. The flaps are solid and clean. They do have toning at the top and bottom margins, and the top corner of the front flap is price-clipped. The jacket will be fitted with a protective cover after the photos are scanned. 'Chelsea was the artists' quarter of London for a century. In its climate, boys like Walter and Henry Greaves apprenticed in their father's boatyard, began to draw and paint Riverside scenes, primitive and untaught. To its bohemianism, a refugee from 1860's upper-middle-class stuffiness, came Whistler, an astonishing new influence, whose pupil and friend Walter Greaves became. For years the friendship prospered; then came Whistler's resentment, the rejection of Greaves, and enter Oscar Wilde. Later, amazingly, came sudden fame for Walter Greaves, followed by denunciations and a scandal, caused by a muddle, or was it a plot (?) about the origin of certain pictures: who painted which? It is a fascinating story, told out of a deep knowledge of its background.'.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Originally published in 1975, The Machiavellian Moment remains a landmark of historical and political thought. Celebrated historian J.G.A. Pocock looks at the consequences for modern historical and social consciousness arising from the ideal of the classical republic revived by Machiavelli and other thinkers of Renaissance Italy. Pocock shows that Machiavelli's prime emphasis was on the moment in which the republic confronts the problem of its own instability in time, which Pocock calls the "Machiavellian moment." After examining this problem in the works of Machiavelli, Guicciardini, and Giannotti, Pocock turns to the revival of republican ideology in Puritan England and in Revolutionary and Federalist America. He argues that the American Revolution can be considered the last great act of civic humanism of the Renaissance and he relates the origins of modern historicism to the clash between civic, Christian, and commercial values in eighteenth-century thought. This Princeton Classics edition of The Machiavellian Moment features a new introduction by Richard Whatmore.…
