Description:
Contains 82 stanzas (per the Persian translation) and a closing paragraph by the author. Shoghi Effendi first translated this work into English in 1927 with the help of two others, and the first Russian translation is said to be written in 1933, therefore as this contains a preface by Shogi Effendi, this book was published near or after 1933 (Shoghi Effendi, Range and Power of His Pen, by Nakhjavani, p. 54-56 and Baháʼí News. No. 320. October 1957, p. 4). Half polished black calf with gilt rule over marbled boards. Marbled endpapers. Unpaginated. 4 x 5 1/2 inches.

Description:
1664 1ed Oliver Cromwell Parliament Robert Pugh Attack on George Bate Elenchus George Bate, sometimes known as Bates, was a 17th-century personal physician to Oliver Cromwell. Unfortunately, much controversy and speculation circles Bate and the untimely death of Cromwell. The controversy arises because of Bate's defense of the King's disagreements with the English Parliament, making many historians unsure who Bate sided with politically. Bate published a book entitled 'Elenchus Motuum' defending the King but it also included a thorough description of the execution of Charles I.
Robert Pugh, a Jesuit royalist, published a critical attack on 'Elenchus' – a work discussing many of Bate's medical practices, English politics, and events that would eventually lead to the Popish Plot.

Description:
1868 FASHION English Woman Domestic Magazine Illustrated Dresses Beeton RecipesIn mid-19th-century England, there was a growing demand for literature on home-making and female interests. Numerous magazines and periodicals were published to try to meet this demand. One such work was Sam Beeton's "Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine" – a magazine that, according to Diamond,
"targeted middle-class women and was an immediate commercial success, with its clever mix of French fashion plates, dressmaking paper patterns, designs for fancy-work, excellent recipes (by Mrs Beeton), and serialized novels."
This tome contains 23 full-page engravings illustrating dresses and high fashion.
