1672 John Selden Titles of Honor Heraldry Genealogy Persia Greek Rome Islam RARE

"Most men's learning is nothing but History duly taken up. If I quote Tho. Aquinas for some Tenet, & believe it, because the school-men say so, that's but History: few men make themselves masters of the things they write or speak."

― John Selden, Table-Talk

John Selden is generally considered England's first legal historian. He questioned all his contemporaries and their definition of 'history.' He spent time trying to discover history by researching the past, more so than that of his colleagues. He claimed, as seen in the quote above, that men of knowledge did not learn from the past, nor did they seek to discover the past. Selden sought to change this.

His book 'Titles of Honor' is a history of world kingdoms and the rise and fall of their rulers, kings, and emperors. Published in 1684, this edition includes impressive in-text engravings of these royal figures along with descriptions of popes, kings of Islamic empires, European gothic counts, and English dukes and kings.

Description:
1878 EXQUISITE William Shakespeare Illustrated Charles Knight Romeo Juliet 2v

A beautiful 19th-century edition of the works of William Shakespeare!

In the mid-19th-century, Charles Knight published an illustrated edition of the works of Shakespeare, a set that proved to be very popular throughout the English-speaking world, into the late 1800s. It included all of the famous works one would expect to be in a collection of Shakespeare, but unlike other editions of the same era, this particular example features the impressive full-page engravings of character portraits.

This 1878 American edition was published in Philadelphia by Amies. An impressive example of Shakespeare.

1829 Botanic Garden by Maund BOTANICAL Flowers Botany Illustrated Gardens 2v

Benjamin Maund was a 19th-century British naturalist who, beginning in 1825, published one of the most important and desirable works on British flowers. 'The Botanic Garden' was a regularly printed periodical that illustrated the flower and plants found in British gardens, particularly the Royal Gardens.

According to Dunthorne in 'Great Flower Books', Maund's "Botanic Garden" is
"A delightful work, not only full of useful and practical information, but illustrated with most charming plates carefully engraved and colored."

These first two volumes of 'The Botanic Garden' includes nearly 150+ hand-colored illustrations of flowers, leaves, plants, and more!

Description:
1854 Opium War Japanese Woodblock Print China Qing Ming Sorcery Taiping Shujin
An interesting 18th century woodblock-print of 'Military Tales of the Qing vs Ming' by Seiei Shujin written as an account of the Opium War and the Taiping rebellion. These accounts are primarily military tales and focus on characters such as Hong Wulong a General for the Ming, or Li Boyu, a courageous female general who can perform sorcery. The book interestingly paints British soldiers as "barbarians" who have to "cower" to the Chinese Ming Warriors. This book offended the governmental authorities, and so, woodcuts were confiscated, and the author was thrown into prison.
This rare 1854 edition is written in a column format with furigana usage for easier reading. This 5-volume woodblock print is bound in the "fukurotoji (variously translated as "bound-pocket," or "pouch" binding)" style with Mino paper!

1836 AFRICA 1ed Lander Niger River Exploration Illustrated Maps Slavery

Richard Lander was an English explorer who made his name for his voyages into Africa. After nearly a decade of African voyages, the British government sent Richard and his brother John in 1830 to explore the Niger River. While at the river delta, they were captured by local tribes for a short time. Their voyage did yield grand results – they discovered the Niger River course and outlets.
The specifics of the journey were written and published under various titles, including 'The Travels of Richard and John Lander'. This work is a fascinating account of African culture, geography, and 19th-century exploration. This 1836 first edition includes nine fine, full-page engravings, including maps and views of local tribes.

Description:
1875 1ed Jules Verne From the Earth to the Moon Astronauts SciFi Space Gun Club
Jules Verne's adventure novels are some of the most popular and famous works of literature of all time. Part of the illustrious 'Voyages Extraordinares' series, his book 'From the Earth to the Moon' is one of the most influential works of science-fiction of the 19th-century. It tells the story of American weapon makers attempting to build an enormous space gun big enough to launch people onto the moon! According to Barron, this book is
"the first interplanetary novel to focus on the technical and organizational preparations for the voyage, using the actual blast-off as a climax…one of the definitive foundation stones of the science fiction genre."
This first Hetzel edition was published in Paris.
