Couverture souple. Condition: Très bon. Edition originale. In-4° broché sous couverture d''attente de l'époque, exemplaire tel que paru en condition exemplaire, (cf la deuxième photographie de la couverture dans le scan) 8 pages. La bataille de Prestonpans, également connue sous le nom de bataille de Gladsmuir, est le premier combat significatif de la seconde rébellion jacobite. Elle a lieu à Prestonpans, dans l'East Lothian, en Écosse, le 21 septembre 1745. L'armée jacobite de Jacques François Stuart, commandée par son fils, Charles Édouard Stuart défait l'armée hanovrienne de George II sous les ordres de Sir John Cope. À l'été 1745, le prince Charles Édouard Stuart, communément appelé Ğ Bonnie Prince Charlie ğ, organise une campagne pour s'emparer de l'Écosse, afin de reprendre ce qu'il considère comme son trône. Avec l'appui de Donald Cameron de Lochiel, le chef du clan Cameron, une armée composée d'environ 2 000 de ses partisans écossais se constitue et marche sur Glenfinnan puis Édimbourg. Sir John Cope, le général commandant les forces gouvernementales en Écosse, reçoit l'ordre de briser la révolte. Il réunit ses troupes, mais la grande majorité de ses recrues n'ont aucune expérience réelle, et il est gêné par une multitude de contretemps, notamment la maladie du commandant de sa cavalerie. Malgré tout, les officiers hanovriens semblent persuadés que les rebelles n'oseront jamais attaquer une armée comptant à la fois de l'infanterie et de la cavalerie. Pendant leur marche, ils affirment aux gens du pays qu'il n'y aura aucune bataille. Le 20 septembre, les forces de Cope rencontrent l'avant-garde jacobite. Cope décide de tenir le terrain et d'attaquer l'armée jacobite. Il dispose son armée derrière un fossé, le mur du parc qui entoure Preston House protégeant son flanc droit. Le lieutenant-général de Charles, Lord George Murray, connaît bien le secteur, et, pendant la nuit, il déplace son armée d'un côté à l'autre du fossé, loin vers la gauche de l'armée de Cope. De son côté, Cope laisse se consumer les feux et déplace ses troupes pendant la nuit, tandis que les Highlanders avancent, protégés par l'obscurité. Dans la crevasse, à l'aube du 21 septembre 1745, les dragons de Cope aperçoivent le spectacle d'une charge de 1 400 Highlanders accompagnés du sauvage cri de guerre des Highlands. Les troupes inexpérimentées de Cope fuient, malgré Cope et ses officiers, qui tentent de les forcer de charger sous la menace du pistolet. L'armée de Cope est débordée à sa gauche par les Jacobites, mais le fossé et le mur du parc bloquent maintenant leur retraite. La bataille est finie en cinq minutes avec des centaines de soldats hanovriens tués ou blessés et 1 500 capturés. Les Highlanders, pour leur part, n'ont à déplorer la perte que d'une centaine de combattants tués ou blessés.

A fascinating and wonderfully-illustrated monograph--with contributions by various scholars--devoted to Georges Bataille's magisterial erotic surrealist novel, Histoire de l'Oeil (first published pseudonymously in 1928). This is ONE OF ONLY 100 COPIES WITH THE UNEXPURGATED COVER, which was "cleaned up" for the trade edition. All of Masson's lithographs executed for the first edition of Histoire de l'Oeil are reproduced, as are the etchings Bellmer made for the second. There are many other related illustrations as well. This is ONE OF FEWER THAN 30 NUMBERED COPIES OF THE DELUXE EDITION, WITH A PORTFOLIO OF 13 ORIGINAL SIGNED AND NUMBERED PRINTS (etchings, aquatints, lithographs, woodcuts, photoengravings, mixed media) by Deborah Cullen, Sophie Sanders & Rudzani Nemasetoni, Edward Fausty, Shigeku Kumabe, Wei Jane Chir, Andrew Davis, Esteban Chavez, Marjorie Van Dyke, Kelly Driscoll, Lance Lumar, Richard Nelson, Peter Mayer, and Scherer & Ouporo. Square 4to. The book is in the original wraps, in the original folding paper envelope. It is housed with the prints in the original luxurious cloth case, with a mounted glass eye (!)--complete with movable eyelid and eyelash--staring out from the cover. FINE AND BRIGHT WITH NO DEFECTS. 75 copies of this deluxe edition were announced, but in the end fewer than 30 were actually assembled. A stylish and impressive tribute to one of the intellectual milestones of the 20th century, the Histoire de l'Oeil, widely considered not only the best surrealist work of fiction but also the most important erotic novel written since 1900.
