  • Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology
    THE WAR OF 1812 MAGAZINE ISSUE 26 December 2016 Appendix I War of 1812 Chronology Compiled by Ralph Eshelman and Donald Hickey Introduction This War of 1812 Chronology includes all the major events related to the conflict beginning with the 1797 Jay Treaty of amity, commerce, and navigation between the United Kingdom and the United States of America and ending with the United States, Weas and Kickapoos signing of a peace treaty at Fort Harrison, Indiana, June 4, 1816. While the chronology includes items such as treaties, embargos and political events, the focus is on military engagements, both land and sea. It is believed this chronology is the most holistic inventory of War of 1812 military engagements ever assembled into a chronological listing. Don Hickey, in his War of 1812 Chronology, comments that chronologies are marred by errors partly because they draw on faulty sources and because secondary and even primary sources are not always dependable.1 For example, opposing commanders might give different dates for a military action, and occasionally the same commander might even present conflicting data. Jerry Roberts in his book on the British raid on Essex, Connecticut, points out that in a copy of Captain Coot’s report in the Admiralty and Secretariat Papers the date given for the raid is off by one day.2 Similarly, during the bombardment of Fort McHenry a British bomb vessel's log entry date is off by one day.3 Hickey points out that reports compiled by officers at sea or in remote parts of the theaters of war seem to be especially prone to ambiguity and error.

To All Who Love and Seek the Truth This Work is Dedicated BY The Author. EDITOR'S Preface. It were an error to suppose that prejudice is always the off- spring of ignorance, inasmuch as the reverse is very frequently true. Not seldom is ignorance the result of prejudice, through a willful refusal to recognize such facts as run counter to the latter. A more accurate simile would, therefore, be the liken- ing of prejudice and ignorance to twins, of whom either may be the precursor of the other, and either one the stronger of the two. The prejudices which follow ordinary ignorance give way readily before increasing knowledge of the truth, but where prejudice is the elder of the twin vices, it is usually the most obstinate as well.

    LODGE hero tales from american history ROOSEVELT henry cabot lodge and theodore roosevelt hero tales from american history Courage under Fire. Self-Sacrifice. Battles that Changed America. American history is full of men and women who have acted courageously when their families, communities and country needed them most. Henry Cabot Lodge and Theodore Roosevelt discovered they both loved telling the stories of these outstanding individuals who helped make America. They pared down their favorite stories to 26 and gave them as a gift to the young people of America in 1895. The McConnell Center is pleased to make this volume available again to America’s youth in hopes that it inspires them to learn more of our history and encourages them to new acts of heroism. Henry Cabot Lodge (1850-1924) served in the United States Senate from 1893 until his death in 1924. He was one of the most important American statesmen of the early 20th century and was leader of the Republican Party in the Senate. Among the books he authored were important biographies of George Washington, Daniel Webster and Alexander Hamilton. Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) was the 26th president of the United States. He authored more than 18 books, won the Nobel Peace Prize and accomplished enough to earn his place alongside George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson on Mount Rushmore, our most recognized monument to American political heroes.

  • Melbourne Rare Book Fair 2019: the Highlights Including Russian Australiana & Avant-Garde Classics
    Melbourne Rare Book Fair 2019: The Highlights Including Russian Australiana & Avant-Garde Classics BOOKVICA 1 F O R E W O R D Dear all, We are glad to present to you the catalogue for the Melbourne fair - fair we wanted to participate in for a long time. The preface is that the international bookselling career of Bookvica founder, Pavel Chepyzhov, has started in Australia 8 years ago, with the ILAB internship done with the Cornstalk Bookshop and Hordern House. Now, we are coming back to show the work that has been done in these last years. The selection that we bring to Melbourne is as diverse and representative of our work as possible: from the illuminated gems of the 17th century in the shape of special coloured copy of Paterik Pecherskiy (1661) and the 13-meter long Armenian prayer scroll manuscript, to the classical Rodchenko and Lebedev’s works in book avant-garde. The special section is dedicated to what we have called Russian Australiana. Here one can find books that show connection between two countries which existed steadily through the last 200 years, especially if you include the numerous Russian travels in the Pacific and the influence of Russian culture on the Pacific Rim. We are glad to bring to Melbourne the signed copy of the travel account of one of the greatest Russian circumnavigators, Yuri Lisiansky, as well as the Russian translation of the James Cook’s biography by Kippis (1790), to underline the common ground. The Chinese section offers a glimpse into the Russian travel exploration of China, to the imprints of the exiled Russians in China in the 1920s-1930s, while in USSR at the same time the albums and books praising Mao were printed.
