Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Fine condition navy blue linen boards with gold front cover publisher insignia and gold spine lettering. Includes Publisher's Preface, Christmas 1961; Historical Introduction by Richard Harwell, Brunswick, Maine, August 19, 1961; A Bibliographical Note; Epilogue; Index and List of Other P…ublications by The Lakeside Classics. Also includes gilt upper page edges and the pages are sewn into the binding (not glued). Illustrated with black-and-white drawings and black-and-white portrait frontispiece of General J.E.B. Stuart with a fine tissue-guard overlay. "John Esten Cooke lived and fought among the heroes of the Army of Northern Virginia's grandest adventures. He was that army's most thorough and most romantic reporter, as well as J.E.B. Stuart's ordnance officer. It has often been said - and truly said - that the Amrican Civil War was the last romantic war and the first modern war. It was its romance that Cooke emphasized in his dispatches to Richmond's The Southern Illustrated News and in his postwar novels about the great sectional conflict. Though Cooke asserted again and again a distaste for war, he was incurably romantic; and it is the romance and adventure of Confederate army life that shine through his pages. His career as a soldier was largely with Stuart's dashing cavalry, and the author saw in his leader a new Rupert and in his companions a new breed of knightly cavaliers." - short excerpt from the Preliminary Page entitled: Historical Introduction. "Outlines From The Outpost is neither a reprint of a previously published book nor the publication of a previously unprinted manuscript. It is, as nearly as can new be achieved, however, the book that John Esten Cooke was preparing for publication during the Civil War but which was never published. Cooke described that book in the entry in his diary for March 20, 1863, and added additional information about it in his entries for March 29, March 30, and April 3. At the end of an itemization of his winter's writing to that date, Cooke noted on March 20: "Mr. Ayres [of Ayres & Wade] proposes to make a volume as soon as there is MS enough, and about 700 pages will do. My contract with him is $10 a column - about 6 pages - with the copyright reserved to myself, but he to have the 'refusal of it.' If necessary he is to copyright the sketches in his paper, in his own name, giving me a paper stating that the property remains in me." On March 29 he recorded the writing since his earlier entry of six additional sketches. "This makes about 500 pp written," he noted. It will be a book soon." But the sketches did not become a book during the war. They were reworked after the fall of the Confederacy and provided the basis for many of the chapters in Wearing of the Gray. Usually, however, the version in the postwar book is considerably different from the sketch as first published. No editorial liberties have been taken with the sketches in republishing them. The editorial work on them has been kept to a minimum -the insertion in brackets of the correct version of proper names misspelled by Cooke, the correction of errors obviously typographical, and making as consistent as possible the variant spellings apparently introduced by different typesetters and editors." - short excerpt from the Preliminary Page entitled: A Bibliographical Note.

Couverture rigide. Condition: Très bon. In-8, reliure pleine toile de l'éditeur, XXX-672 pp. America's Greatest Contribution to Political Philosophy By Alexander Hamilton, James Madison and John Jay, Reproduced from the Original Texts. Edited, with introduction and Notes By Jacob E. Cooke. "Série de quatre-vingt-cinq articles si…gnés « Publius » et publiés entre octobre 1787 et août 1788 dans le New York Packer. Leurs auteurs étaient trois des personnalités dont le rôle avait été fondamental dans la rédaction de la Constitution des États-Unis : Alexander Hamilton (1755-1804, qui fut l'âme de l'entreprise et écrivit près des deux tiers des articles), James Madison (1751-1836, futur président des États-Unis) et John Jay (1745-1829, qui devint président de la Cour suprême). Le but des trois hommes était de dissiper les réticences, particulièrement vives dans l'État de New York (dont l'accord était indispensable) à l'égard de la Constitution, en tentant d'en décrire, expliquer et justifier les divers articles. Les Federalist Papers s'articulent autour de quatre thèmes principaux : grandeur et décadence d'un système politique libre et démocratique ; défense et illustration du fédéralisme ; critique sévère de la Constitution précédente, analyse et apologie de la Constitution proposée. Remarquablement écrits, les Federalist Papers sont devenus un texte classique parce qu'ils sont à la fois le meilleur exposé des intentions des constituants américains (la Cour suprême s'y réfère souvent dans ses arrêts) et un exemple stimulant de la pensée politique nord-américaine, particulièrement féconde au xviiie siècle." Marie-France Toinet, art. in Universalis. Reliure et intérieur en très bon état. Très bon exemplaire.(ThHome28) Size: 17 x 23,5.
