Condition: Sehr gut. 243 p.: ill. Aus der Bibliothek von Prof. Wolfgang Haase, langjährigem Herausgeber der ANRW und des International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT) / From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Schutzumschlag etwas abgenutzt, sonst sehr guter Zustand / Dust jacket somewhat worn, otherwise in very good condition. - Nicholas Biddle (1786-1844) was a noted politician and financier in early nineteenthcentury America. At eighteen, he went to Europe as the secretary of the American minister to France. He also made the acquaintance of James Monroe when Monroe was the American ambassador to London. He was later elected to the state legislature and senate of Pennsylvania. Ultimately he became a director and then the president of the Bank of the United States. In the course of a sojourn to Europe, Biddle sailed to Greece, then a part of the Ottoman Empire. Half of the journal he kept on the trip has only recently been discovered, and the other half is known to only a few people because it is still in private hands. Taken together, these two journals (plus the four extant letters that Biddle wrote to his family in Philadelphia) are a mine of information about the formative influences on his career, about the politics and personalities of Napoleons Europe, about the condition of Greece and its ancient monuments under the Turkocratia, and even about the American naval war against the Barbary pirates. Despite being written by a twenty-year-old, these journals are remarkable for their literary quality and their general liveliness. Perhaps because they were not written to be published, they have a freshness and honesty lacking in more formal works of travel. McNeals extensive introduction illuminates the early nineteenth-century background of Biddles journals.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. LEWIS, Meriwether & William CLARK (ed. Nicholas Biddle; intro. John Bakeless). The Journals of the Expedition Under the Command of Capts. Lewis and Clark to the Source of the Missouri, Thence Across the Rocky Mountains and Down the River Columbia to the Pacific Ocean, Performed During the Years 1804-5-6 by Order of the Government of the United States.

Part of the Easton Press Library of Military History. In the summer of 1803 President Thomas Jefferson concluded the Louisiana Purchase, doubling the size of the United States at a stroke and acquiring for the nation an enormous territory about which almost nothing was known. Jefferson had already been planning an expedition. He now had his reason, and he gave the commission to his private secretary, Captain Meriwether Lewis, who invited his friend Lieutenant William Clark to share the command. The Corps of Discovery, thirty-three strong, set out from Camp Dubois near St. Louis in May 1804 and returned there in September 1806. In the intervening two years and four months they had travelled eight thousand miles, crossed the Continental Divide, reached the Pacific Ocean, described hundreds of plant and animal species previously unknown to science, made contact with dozens of Native nations, and produced the most consequential geographical survey in American history. The journals Lewis and Clark kept throughout the journey are among the foundational documents of American literature and natural history. Contained are richly detailed records of the landscape, flora, fauna, weather, and peoples encountered from the Missouri River to the mouth of the Columbia, written in a plain, direct style that carries the immediacy of daily observation. The natural history sections alone — descriptions of the grizzly bear, the pronghorn, the prairie dog, the western meadowlark, and dozens of other species — constitute a primary scientific document of the first order. The accounts of the expedition's human encounters, including the crucial assistance rendered by Sacagawea, the Shoshone woman who joined the Corps at Fort Mandan in present-day North Dakota, are irreplaceable records of a world on the threshold of permanent transformation. Nicholas Biddle (1786-1844), the Philadelphia lawyer and financier who edited the journals for their first publication in 1814, produced a remarkably readable narrative from the raw material of the captains' notes. The introduction to this Easton Press edition was written by John Bakeless (1894-1978), the American biographer and historian whose work on the American frontier remains a standard reference. Very good to near fine. Some loss to gilt at upper corner of cover of Volume II. Some mild foxing along gilt edges of both volumes. Contents of both volumes fine throughout. Please note: This item is a two-volume set and may require additional postage costs. If so, we will contact you after purchase.…
