"The Mohawk Indian chief Joseph Brant served as a spokesman for his people,a Christian missionary of the Anglican church, and a British military officer during the U.S. War of Independence. He is remembered for his efforts in unifying upper New York Indian tribes and leading them in terrorizing raids against patriot communities in support of Great Britian' s efforts to repress the rebellion. He is also credited for the establishment of the Indian reservation on the Grand River in Canada where the neighboring town of Brantford, Ontario, bears his name. Brant was born in 1742 on the banks of the Ohio River and given the Indian name of Thayendanegea, meaning "he places two bets." He inherited the status of Mohawk chief from his father.

Talfourd, Thomas Noon [Charles Lamb] The Life and Letters of Charles Lamb [Five Volume Set]
New York Derby& Jackson 1860 Hardcover Very Good Set
12mo, 1673pp. total, Gilt lettered spine. Offset on title pages from portraits. Contents otherwise clean, Charles Lamb (London, 10 February 1775 - Edmonton, 27 December 1834) was an English essayist with Welsh heritage, best known for his Essays of Elia and for the children's book Tales from Shakespeare, which he produced along with his sister, Mary Lamb (1764–1847). Both he and his sister enjoyed an active and rich social life. Their London quarters became a kind of weekly salon for many of the most outstanding theatrical and literary figures of the day. Charles Lamb, having been to school with Samuel Coleridge, counted Coleridge as perhaps his closest, and certainly his oldest, friend. On his deathbed, Coleridge had a mourning ring sent to Lamb and his sister. Fortuitously, Lamb's first publication was in 1796, when four sonnets by "Mr. Charles Lamb of the India House" appeared in Coleridge's Poems on Various Subjects. In 1797 he contributed additional blank verse to the second edition, and met the Wordsworths, William and Dorothy, on his short summer holiday with Coleridge at Nether Stowey, thereby also striking up a lifelong friendship with William. In London, Lamb became familiar with a group of young writers who favored political reform, including Percy Bysshe Shelley, William Hazlitt, and Leigh Hunt.

Tupper, Martin F. Proverbial Philosophy
London Thomas Hatchard, Piccadilly 1854 Leather Very Good/No Jacket as issued. Illustrated
Octavo, 366pp., Gilt lettered and decorated cover and spine. All edges gilt. Contents clean. Spine edges scuffed. Martin Farquhar Tupper (July 17, 1810 in London - November 1889 in Albury, Surrey) was an English writer, and poet. In 1837 appeared the first series of Proverbial Philosophy, long series of didactic moralisings composed in a lawyer's chambers in Old Square, Lincoln's Inn, during part of the previous year. This work, which spread its author's name far and wide, was met at first with moderate success in England, while in the United States it was almost a total failure. Within thirty years, however, it had passed through forty large editions in England from 1838 to 1867 while nearly a million copies were sold in America. The commonplace character of Tupper's reflections is indubitable, and his blank verse is only prose cut up into suitable lengths; but the Proverbial Philosophy was full of a perfectly genuine moral and religious feeling, and contained many apt and striking expressions. By these qualities it appealed to a large and uncritical section of the public. In 1 845 Tupper was elected a fellow of the Royal Society. He received the gold medal for science and literature from the King of Prussia A genial, warm- hearted man, Tupper's humane instincts prompted him to espouse many reforming movements; he was an early supporter of the Student Volunteer Movement, and did much to promote good relations between Britain and America. He tried to encourage African literature and was also a mechanical inventor in a small way. At the end of his life he vanished into obscurity and nowadays his work is forgotten, despite the words on his grave-stone: "Although he is dead, he will speak."

Upright, Diane, Jean Leymarie Victor Hugo and the Romantic Vision Drawings and Watercolors
New York Jan Krugier Gallery 1990 First Edition Hardcover Fine/No Jacket Photos/Illustrations
Quarto, 97pp., Nice clean crisp book. In November-December 1988, the Jan Krugier Gallery celebrated The Presence of Ingres and the presence of the chief emulators of Ingres-Chasseriau, Degas, Matisse, Picasso, Balthus-by showing a splendid array of their drawings. These pieces, most of them portraits, were devoted exclusively to the human figure. Generally done in pencil or graphite, they were characterized by the classical purity of the line and its modern tension on the flat surface. However, in this new exhibition, which concentrates on Victor Hugo and his Romantic wake, we find not only an opposite tendency and a more complex dynamics, but also a higher number of participating artists, who are all linked by aesthetic and technical affinities. Compared with the earlier exhibition, the themes and the means of expression have changed thoroughly. The portraits have vanished, and if any figures are left, they were conjured up from memory or imagination. Now, the landscapes and other visionary scenes dominate. The overall preference for washes and watercolors disrupts the unity of contours while releasing a dark spot or a radiant color on the white sheet. Many great artists are also excellent theoreticians and sometimes even remarkable writers; the reverse, however, is extremely rare, and aside from William Blake-an absolute union of painter and poet-Victor Hugo remains exceptional. His visual oeuvre, supplementing, yet distinct from, his literary oeuvre, has been preserved chiefly at his house on Place des Vosges and at the Bibliotheque Nationale, Paris.
