Hard Cover. Condición: Good. No Jacket. Former church library copy (St. Bernard's Seminary Library) - usual marks. Binding tight and square, text clean, bright, and unmarked. 1910 Hard Cover. 235 pp. Charles Russell, Baron Russell, (born November 10, 1832, Newry, County Down, Ireland - died August 10, 1900, London, England), lord chief justice of England from June 1894 until his death. A formidable courtroom advocate, he became widely admired as a strong but moderate judge. Russell practiced law in Ireland from 1854 and in England (usually at Liverpool) from 1859. In 1872 he was appointed a queen's counsel. A Liberal Party member of the House of Commons from 1880 to 1894, he served as attorney general under Prime Minister William Ewart Gladstone in 1886 and again in 1892 - 94. Although he was sympathetic to Irish nationalism, he urged the establishment of an Irish Parliament subordinate to England's, rather than the granting of Home Rule, which would have given the Irish wider power. In 1888 - 90 he gained fame as principal defense counsel before the Parnell Commission by discrediting much of the testimony against the Irish nationalist leader Charles Stewart Parnell, especially that based on a letter forged by a journalist, Richard Pigott. Created a lord of appeal in May 1894, Russell then was appointed lord chief justice of England on the death of John Duke, Baron Coleridge (June 14, 1894). His reputation as a great judge was secured by his conduct of the trial of L.S. Jameson and other British subjects who had abortively invaded the Boer state of the Transvaal (December 1895 - January 1896). In 1899 he participated in the successful arbitration of the Venezuela - British Guiana boundary dispute that had threatened to lead to war between Great Britain and the United States. - Britannica.…

Minor edge and corner wear; no dj; lightly scuffed and scratched; corners are gently bumped and rubbed; some light shelf wear; ex-library with the usual library markings; overall a nice used copy! Green boards with silver lettering on the spine. 166 historical and magical pages! "If you study a poem down to its last elusive essence you come to what is still a mystery. Nobody knows - at least nobody has been able to tell - the difference between a perfect poem and a poem that barely misses perfection. The difference seems to be, somehow, a matter of magic, beyond reason or definition. Only taste can distinguish, and there are many tastes of various degrees of sensitiveness or maturity. When young or uncertain poets or lovers of poetry ask me about such things I usually suggest that they try their taste on A Shropshire Lad, reading it intently line by line and noting how hard it would be to change even a syllable without damage." ---- from the Introduction.…

See the entries for Baines and Reynolds in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded twice. Addressed to 'The Rev. H. R. Reynolds, D.D.', and signed 'Edw. Baines.' The letter dates from between 1861, when Lord John Russell was created Earl Russell, and his death in 1878. Begins: 'My very dear Friend, / I have just been shaking hands with Earl Russell. I was standing with the mob of M. P.s at the bar of the House of Lords, when he recognised me, and shook hands as he passed out, saying, "I am very glad to see you."' Baines was 'so surprised' that he 'could only tell him how glad I was to see that he was well enough to have returned to his duties'. He informs Reynolds that 'before going to Pembroke Lodge' he may 'inquire [sic] if he is in town - at 37, Chesham Place', explaining that he does not 'know how to obtain the information' before writing to Reynolds, 'or I would do it for you'. …

Condición: NEAR FINE. First printing. "The Vice President Speaks Out About Peach and War!" Selected speeches and articles of Wallace for the period 1933-1944, including when he was serving as the 33rd Vice President of the United States under Franklin D. Roosevelt, chosen and arranged by Lord to illustrate Wallace's political credo. Wallace was a strong supportor of the New Deal and presided over a major shift in federal agricultural policy, implementing measures designed to curtail agricultural surpluses and to address rural poverty. After Roosevelt died in 1945 and Truman succeeded him as president, "Wallace continued to serve as Secretary of Commerce until September 1946, when he was fired by Truman for delivering a speech urging conciliatory policies toward the Soviet Union. Wallace and his supporters then established the nationwide Progressive Party and launched a third-party campaign for president which called for conciliatory policies toward the USSR, desegregation of public schools, racial and gender equality, a national health-insurance program, and other left-wing policies." (Wikipedia) Among the topics covered in this book are the farm crisis, soil and the general welfare, the power of books, the price of free world victory , the danger of American fascism and much more.
