Ellis, Norman. MY PARISH IS REVOLTING.
PaperJacks, Don Mills, Ontario, 1974.
159 pp, mass market paperback. "There's a revolution taking place - and it's happening in a church. All Saints' Anglican Church - a lovely old building in downtown Toronto - once was a solid, middle-class Victorian church much like any other. Unt il the Reverend Norman Ellis became its pastor and decided that his congregation - some of the poorest people in Canada - should have a church which would truly serve their needs. Out came the pews to be replaced with chairs and couches. Bright c a rpets scrounged from a hotel were laid. And the people came. Not just on Sundays but all through the week....to the Day-Care Centre, the Coffee-house, for a quiet chat with friends when they were lonely, or just to sit and think in a peaceful ha ve n. (This book) is the heartwarming story of a church 'come alive' to disprove the cynics' theory that religion is dead." Interior - light browning to pages, otherwise clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - two creases at bo ttom corner of front cover - migrates softly into first few pages, very light browning to covers, minor rubbing, faint crease on spine. Very Good-

Ellis, Peter Berresford. THE BOYNE WATER: THE BATTLE OF THE BOYNE, 1690.
Hamish Hamilton, London, 1976, first edition.
163 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. B&w plates, map. "In the year 1690 Ireland was the pivot of the European crisis. Louis XIV had sent over the deposed king James II with French money, troops and generals in order to secure Irelan d and eventually England as allies. William III, together with other members of the League of Augsburg, sought to prevent a Jacobite restoration in England and the consequent domination of Europe by France. On 1 July 1690, the decisive day of the battle of the Boyne, the presence of troops from the continent on both sides of the river emphasized the international issues at stake. But the battle was fought for other reasons which are still remembered today. The Cromwellian landowners and t h e English and Scottish Protestants in Ulster wanted to defend their property and power; the Old English Catholics and the native Irish fought to regain their confiscated lands and to drive out the alien English conquerors. How far, in fact, did W il liam and James represent these respective interests and what happened after such bitter fighting? Peter Berresford Ellis describes the movements of both armies prior to the battle and the scene of the battlefield itself. With his characteristic im partiality he assesses the personalities and strategy of the various leaders - the Earl of Tyrconnell, the young Duke of Berwick and Patrick Sarsfield on the Jacobite side and the old Duke of Shomberg, the Count of Solms-Braunfels and Gustavus H amil ton on the Williamite side. For it was the foresight, skills or mistakes of such men which were to determine the outcome of the battle. Vivid eye-witness accounts of soldiers captured in both camps add feeling to this story of hatred, hope an d cou rage which captured the imagination of the generations to come. But the author does not merely ascertain the military significance of William's victory. He outlines the consequences of Williamite rule for both Catholics and Protestants alike , in b oth Ulster and the South, and in so doing destroys - in surprising ways - some of the myths surrounding the battle of the Boyne." Slight cigarette odor, very light browning to pages, light brownign to fore-edge of textblock, small bump at bo ttom of spine. Dust jacket is price clipped, has light to moderate edge wrinkling and edge browning, light rubbing, light to moderate browning on rear panel, slight delamination at top edge of rear panel.

Elting, John R. Foreword by Anthony Wayne Tommell and Michael Phillips. THE BATTLES OF SARATOGA.
Philip Freneau, Monmouth Beach, NJ, 1977.
96 pp, 4to (12 1/8" H), hard cover (green cloth with gold lettering on spine, gold lettering and image of soldier on front board) - no dust jacket. Errata slip tipped in at rear. B&w maps/battle plans. "Historians and students of the Burgoyne Cam paigns have, for over 125 years, referred to the Battles of Saratoga as the most decisive series of engagements of the American Revolution....Yet, with all its acknowledged importance, the campaign remains one of the least accurately portrayed and m ost poorly researched in American history....To do battle with (the) myriad of myths, inaccuracies, and misinterpretations, Colonel John R. Elting brings an impressive arsenal of professional historical skills and background knowledge....it is no t s urprising that his analysis of the practical problems of campaigning and logistics in the Northern Department is masterful. Supply and transportation problems played a major role in Burgoyne's defeat. By using 'Mad Johnny' M'Alpine's 'Narrati ve ' - extensively yet critically and in balance with a number of other primary sources - these problems are brought into proper perspective...(Colonel Elting dissects) the role of the British artillery on Sugar Loaf Hill (Mount Defiance) in the ev acu atio n of Fort Ticonderoga, the effect of the death of Jane McCrea on the mustering of the American militia against Burgoyne, and the tactical importance of the terrain west of the American fortified lines near the Neilson Farm. (He) brings new pri mary source material to bear upon the investigation of the Burgoyne Campaign. 'A Military Journal' - thought to be written by Richard Pope (an officer of the 47th Regiment of Foot) and the 'Memoirs' of E. Schueler von Senden (a Brunswick offic er of the Regiment von Specht) add fresh and valuable information." From the Foreword. Previous owner's small stamp on front pastedown. Very Good+

Emerson, Everett. CAPTAIN JOHN SMITH. REVISED EDITION. TWAYNE'S UNITED STATES AUTHORS SERIES.
Twayne, New York, (1993), revised edition, Ist printing.
143 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. "Captain John Smith (1580-1631) , famed for saving the young Virginia colony and for his lucky rescue by Pocahontas, was the quintessential Great Elizabethan Adventurer. He traveled throughout the world, including the entire eastern coast of America, writing eloquently and at length about his experiences. With publication of 'A True Relation of such occurences and accidents of noate as hath hapned in virginia since the first planting of t h e Collony' (1608), Smith became author of the first American book in English...Yet few scholars have approached the Captain's many books and pamphlets as literary achievements. In this welcome revision of his successful 1971 study, Everett Emers on d oes this expertly, showing Smith's canon to be thick with infuences, embedded in a well-formed tradition and stylishly self-reflexive. Modernizing Smith's language for contemporary readers, Emerson illuminates his radically secular vision of the me aning of America (expressed as a time when most believed colonization was the work of God); his promotion of Virginia's cause; the objective descriptions of the native peoples and English colonists alike; his unique attempts to define a dist inct ivel y American identity; and especially his self-portrait as an individualist, soldier, and dreamer..." Minor wrinkling at bottom of spine. Dust jacket has minor edge wrinkling, very light rubbing. NF/VG+

In this personal memoir, Priscilla Endicott chronicles the intense year she spent in Germany studying the principles of dressage with master trainer, Walter Christensen....(the book) presents a colorful view of the re m arkable world of international dressage and competition. Of primary importance are the relationships that affected the writer: her connection with her teacher, her horse, the apprentices, the riders, and other folk with whom she came into close c on tact. An inextricable part of the author's education was cultural. Through her eyes, we learn how the teaching of dressage and the German cultural spirit are mirror images, each reflecting the other...."

Engel, Matthew, editor. WISDEN CRICKETERS' ALMANACK 2005. 142nd EDITION.
John Wisden, Alton, Hampshire, 2005.
1744 pp, 6 1/2" H, hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0947766898 B&w and colour illustrations. "Wisden 2005 covers every match of the astonishing sequence that took (England) from Jamaica to Johannesburg - and a dozen test victories - in just ten mo nths. Mike Selvey traces the new dawn of English cricket back to the midnight hours of abject failure. Former team analyst Malcolm Ashton tells the story from inside the camp. And for the first time in 45 yeras, all Five Cricketers of the Year a r e English. There are full reports of all the events of 2004: the world records for Brian Lara, Murali and Shane Warne, and the rows over chucking, Zimbabwe and Sky TV. Wisden gets down to the grassroots as well. Alan Lee explains how the timele ss ritual of village cricket is now splitting in two. But this is also a global book. Wisden explains how the mighty confusion of Indian TV bankrolls the game. One great Australian, Richie Benaud, pays homage to another, Keith Miller. Wisden re por ts on South Africans' lingering love affair with Hansie Cronje and, from Sri Lanka, how cricket rose to the challenge of the Indian Ocean tsumami. Wisden recalls its own greatest editor, Sydney Pardon, the man who said (in 1910) that the Englan d se lectors had 'touched the confines of lunacy'. Wisden has never minced words. See this year's Notes by the Editor. Oh, and there's The Burning Bunny, the brothel that caters soley for professional cricketers, an interview with cricket's most famou s Slovak goalkeeper, the ground where it hasn't rained for 15 years....and Wisden's first-ever pin-up."

Her story, as Carolly Erickson re-creates it, is page-turning drama: from the splendors of the Field of the Cloth of Gold to the gory last years of the outsize King Henry, when heads rolled and England trembled, Catherine bestrode her destiny and survived to marry her true love. Catherine Parr attracted the king's lust and, though much in love with the handsome Thomas Seymour, was thrown into the intrigue-filled snake pit of the royal court. While victims of the king's wrath suffered torture and execution, Catherine persevered until, at last, she came within the orbit of the royal fury. King Henry toyed with her, first ordering her arrested, then granting her clemency. She managed to avoid execution, but she knew that the king had his wandering eye fixed on wife number seven. She was spared by his death and married the attractive but dangeously unbalanced Seymour. Her triumph was shadowed by rivalry with the young Princess Elizabeth, whose lands and influence the lecherous Seymour coveted. Catherine won the contest, but a great cost...."

St. Martin's Press, New York, 2006.
351 pp, large 8vo (9 1/2" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0312316437 Colour and b&w plates. "(This book) replaces the stereotypic images with true multifaceted portraits, bringing each of England's rulers to fully fleshed life. Here is the p uny Charles I, nervous, tense, and socially awkward; the frail, slight Richard II, melancholic and sad; the homosexual James I with his handsome favorites; the stuttering William II and the stammering George VI. Here also is the choleric, violent W illiam I (William the Conqueror), bred among the chaos of constant warfare in his native Normandy, ceaselessly embattled once he became King of England. The unkingly Henry III, mild and charitable, despised by his barons for his weakness. And the well-meaning, deeply affectionate Queen Anne, whose many children all died before they could reach adulthood and who was so heavy and gout-ridden that she had to be carried to her coronation. Each ruler's life has a unique story, and 'Royal Panoply ' tells that story with award-winning historian Carolly Erickson's characteristic blend of scholarly authenticity, engaging prose, and psychological insight. The focus is not merely on the tale of each reign, but on each king's or queen's entire li fe, for some rulers did not come to the throne until middle age, and had already led full lives before their accession. Here they are in full panoply: feudal warriors, Renaissance icons, Regency dandies, and modern constitutional monarchs, fascinat ing characters all." Fine/Fine

255 pp, 8vo (8 3/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0340234334 " 'Schwerttrager!' It is the summer of 1917, Britain is losing the war against the U-boats and Commander David Cochrane Smith listens to the delirious mumbling of a dying U-baot c ommander: 'Swordbearer'. Smith believes it is the code name for an operation, a threat to Britain, but nobody will listen to him. The threat haunts him. He meets a wild, beautiful, tragic girl and she solves a tiny part of the mystery, enough to set a clock ticking, counting down. Smith has come home with a bloody victory to his credit but he is still under suspicion of being reckless, a wild man, at best just lucky. He believes the answer to the U-boat lies in convoys but he is given a f lotilla 'to take offensive action against U-boats and bases'. The flotilla turns out to be one ancient destroyer, a turtle-back 'thirty-knotter' known as 'Bloody Mary'. It is backed up by a 'ship of force', but that is no more than a monitor, near -new and with fifteen-inch guns. Her engines are defective, she is slow and spends more time in the dockyard than at sea. The flotilla is a sick joke; the two ships are the lepers of the Dover Patrol. With them Smith has to take on shore batteries and bigger, faster enemy destroyers. He has to fight the hostility of his commanding officer and is plunged into the world of espionage behind the enemy lines. Through it all the mystery behind 'Schwerttrager' lures him on until he stakes his car eer and his life in a desperate attempt to solve it." Faint cigarette odor.

With 8 years service as an official of the Atomic Energy Commission, Medford Evans speaks from a unique vantage point. The technological equipment and know-how necessary for manufacturin g the A-bomb is so extensive, says Evans, that it seems unlikely the Russians can manufacture their own bombs. In support of this, he refers to repeated observations on the subject made by the highest American and British authorities. Furthermore , he asks, why should the Russians develop their industry when it is so easy to get materials from us. The targets are here and the bomb parts are here. The simple and logical thing is to assemble the bombs at the target...." Tiny speck on front pa stedown, very light edge wear, two tiny corner creases, minor wrinkling at top/bottom of spine.

Scylla begins as a beautiful but lonely orphan raised by wolves. Nisus, the rightful but unlucky king of Egypt, falls in love and weds her - not realizing that it might be impossible to tame the wild ways of the wolf-girl. Betrayal leads to Scylla's transformat ion into a sea monster that is half Nereid and half wolf pack. One half lures; the other devours. Charybdis becomes accursed through her own caprice. Having spent her youth as a spoiled princess, she is transformed into a monster as greedy for s e awater as she had been for the objects of her desire. Twice a day she drinks the tide, and any ships sailing in it. Twice a day she spits it out again, corpses and all. This is the exciting saga of Scylla and Charybdis and the mayhem caused w he n they are brought together in a swirling, narrow passage through which many ships and men must pass. It tells of those who meet their death there and of the perils encountered by the hero Ulysses in that deadly strait." Dust jacket has minor w rin kl ing at top/bottom of spine and flap-folds. F/VG+

338 pp, large 8vo (9 1/4" H), hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 1591142482 B&w photographs, maps. "....offers a memorable account of how Thach devised the plan to give his squadron of F4F Wildcats a fighting chance against Japan's formidable Zeros. Using matchsticks on his kitchen table, he determined that the Wildcats, working in pairs, should weave back and forth as they encountered a Zero, giving the wingman an opportunity to shoot at the enemy on his partner's tail. The use of the weav e against the Zero at Midway cemented its practical application. But, as this colorful portrait of the famous pilot clearly shows, Thach's innovative tactic was far from his sole contribution to the Navy. Throughout a forty-year career, Thach pro vi ded answers to multiple challenges facing the Navy, and his ideas were implemented servicewide. A native of Arkansas and 1927 graduate of the Naval Academy, Thach earned his wings at Pensacola in 1930 and became a highly decorated ace. He was a n e arly test pilot, a creative task force operations officer in the last year of Wordl War II, and an outstanding carrier commander in the Korean War. During the cold war, he helped advance antisubmarine warfare. Contributing to his success was t he f act that Thach was a charismatic leader, interested in everyone around him regardless of rank or status. His dry sense of humor and constant smile attracted people from all walks of life, and he was a popular figure in Hollywood. Today, Thach rema ins a hero among naval aviators, his most famous combat tactic still in use by modern jets." Small bump to top corner of rear board, light wrinkling at top of spine.

Fabb, John. EUROPEAN ROYALTY OF THE VICTORIAN AND EDWARDIAN ERA.
Seaby, London, 1986, first edition.
120 pp, small 4to (10" H), hard cover in dust jacket. B&w photographs, family trees. ISBN 0900652918 "When Queen Victoria came to the throne in 1837, the prospects of the royal houses of Europe had perhaps never looked brighter, yet just 70 years later the power of majesty was on the wane, and some dynasties fell and others were forced to become constitutional monarchies. During this eventful period changes were often violent, as a Tsar of Russia was assassinated, a Crown Prince of Austri a committed suicide and an Empress was stabbed, a King of Portugal and his son were blown up and a King and Queen of Serbia were murdered. At the same time, new kingdoms were created in Greece, Norway and Belgium and the balance of power shifted a s marriage links were forged between old and new. The timely invention of photography captured many of the great names of the times, and helped to dispel the aura of majesty by revealing Kings and Queens to be as human as their subjects. John Fabb h as assembled a remarkable collection of period photographs, many hitherto unpublished, incuding official portraits and formal gatherings as well as domestic scenes of family life. Each chapter focuses on a particular country or group of countrie s ( Austria; The Balkans; France: Royal and Imperial; Great Britain; Italy; Belgium - The Netherlands - Luxembourg; Prussia and the German Empire; Russia; Scandinavia; Spain and Portugal) and begins with a brief historical outline and family tree to exp lain the relationships and intermarriages involved. Household names and lesser-known royals are brought to life by unusually detailed captions, setting the scene, describing and explaining the rich variety of formal dress and uniforms depicted , and providing a fascinating insight into the royal world." Very small bump at top rear corner. Dust jacket is price-clipped, has very small bump at top of rear flap-fold, very minor edge wrinkling. Very Good/Very Good
