Cox II, p.479 (citing Dorrington as author). Sabin 66952. Howgego V, L45. Ullrich, pp. 118-122. Charming hand-colored edition of this popular tale relating a fictitious British hermit's escape from apprenticeship and subsequent life on a deserted island off the Pacific coast of Mexico. First published serially in the Public Intelligencer, a weekly newspaper, then in book form in 1727, and eventually "rivalling Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, of which it is possibly the best imitation." (Howgego). The book's author remained anonymous until Arundell Esdaile discovered a rare edition of 1727 in which the dedication is signed Peter Longueville, to whom the work is now attributed. Gove cites a number of literary allusions, attesting to the tale's popularity. Among these are Dickens's Martin Chuzzlewit, in which John Westlock complains that his chambers are "nothing but . . . the sort of impromptu arrangement that might have suggested themselves to Philip Quarll or Robinson Crusoe." See also Gove, quoting Bonner, that the author "transferred many passages unblushingly from Dampier [A New Voyage Round the World]." N. B.

Early printing of this Everyman's Library's compilation of the author's collected non-fiction work. Octavo, original cloth. Boldly signed by Joan Didion on the title page. Near fine in a near fine dust jacket. Introduction by John Leonard. "I have been trying forever to figure out why [Didion's] sentences are better than mine or yours . . . Something about [their] cadence. They come at you, if not from ambush, then in gnomic haikus, ice pick laser beams, or waves. Even the space on the page around these sentences is more interesting than it ought to be, as if to square a sandbox for a Sphinx" (John Leonard).

A great letter linking two of the dominant global figures of the 20th centuryRonald Reagan took office in January 1981 and one of the first congratulatory notes he received was from Queen Elizabeth II. Their correspondence began immediately; both shared a love of horses, ranching, and traditional entertainment (horsemanship, pageantry), helping build rapport.In June 1982, Reagan visited the UK and became the first sitting US President to stay overnight at Windsor Castle. The Queen and Reagan rode horses together and a major banquet was held at Buckingham Palace in his honor.Just months later, the Queen reciprocated and in March 1983 she visited the Reagan Ranch. This was part of the 200th anniversary of the end of the Revolutionary War. It was a great moment in British-American relations.Typed letter signed, on White House letterhead, July 26, 1982, to Mr. FW Perryman of Middlesex, UK. "Thank you very much for sending me the cartoon. I hadn't seen it and am happy to have it."May I say Her Majesty is truly a Queen and a warm, gracious lady I much admire and respect.?This is the only letter of Reagan relating to his admiration of Queen Elizabeth II that we have seen.

On October 23, 1956, a student demonstration against the Soviet-dominated regime in Hungary became the first serious challenge to Communist authority since the Soviet Union drove the Nazis out and occupied Eastern Europe at the end of World War II.? The demonstrators marched to the Parliament building in Budapest, where Hungarian State Security Police detained a group of them who attempted to enter the radio building to broadcast the students_ demands.? The police then fired on a group of demonstrators who demanded their release and killed a student.? When demonstrators wrapped the body in a flag and paraded it in central Budapest, violence erupted, and news of the event provoked unrest throughout the country.? The pro-Soviet government collapsed, and a new government disbanded the State Security Police and announced its intention to withdraw from the Soviet-run Warsaw Pact and to hold free elections.The Hungarian Revolt was one of the crucial events of the Cold WarOn October 31, the Moscow newspaper ?Pravda? stated that the Soviet government was ?prepared to enter into the appropriate negotiations with the government of the Hungarian People?s Republic and other members of the Warsaw Treaty on the question of the presence of Soviet troops on the territory of Hungary.?? That same day, though, unwilling to appear weak to the United States, Soviet leaders reversed course and decided to take military action to crush the rebellion.? In the early morning hours of November 4, Soviet troops invaded Hungary.? The free Hungarian government fled, and by November 7 the Soviets installed J?nos K?d?r as the new Prime Minister.? In six days, the Soviet military completely crushed the revolution.? More than 2,500 Hungarians and 700 Soviet soldiers were killed.? By January, the new Soviet puppet government had suppressed the opposition. However, meanwhile, large numbers of Hungarians were fleeing the country, mostly headed for Austria.This unfolding drama received hour-by-hour press coverage throughout the world, with film footage appearing every evening on the news in the U.S. and elsewhere. The invasion, with its graphic depiction of Soviet tanks on the city streets in Hungary clashing with demonstrators, destroyed the Soviet argument that Eastern Europe was voluntarily within the Soviet sphere. It also confirmed to those in the West that there was a real Cold War at hand, and that the Soviets were the aggressors, as they could only hold their people by force. Strong anti-Communists, like Richard M. Nixon, then Vice President in the Eisenhower Administration, seemed confirmed in their judgments.By the time Hungary?s borders were sealed, 200,000 refugees had fled the country.? Of those, approximately 180,000 went to Austria, and another 20,000 went to Yugoslavia.? The refugees needed care and resettlement, and this required a massive effort, led by the office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. 37 nations on five continents accepted refugees, with the plurality - 40,000 - going to the United States. Llewellyn E. Thompson was U.S. Ambassador to Austria, so to him fell the main responsibility for managing the American effort to care for them and arrange their resettlement.Lewellyn Thompson was one of the most important American diplomats of the 20th Century.? After two years at his post in Vienna, he would become the United States Ambassador to the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War, serving two separate tours in the administrations of Presidents Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Lyndon B. Johnson, and then acting as advisor to Richard M. Nixon.? Few Ambassadors faced as many crises as Thompson did in Moscow - the shooting down of a U.S. U-2 reconnaissance aircraft over Russia, the great confrontation between the U.S. and Soviet Union over Berlin and the building of the Berlin Wall, very difficult summits between Soviet Premier Khruschev and Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy, the August 1968 Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia, and tensions over the Vietnam War. But there were also steps toward better relations. At Thompson's suggestion, Nikita Khrushchev became the first Soviet leader to visit the U.S. in 1959. Thompson helped arrange (and was present for) the 1967 summit in the U.S. between President Johnson and Premier Alexei Kosygin in Glassboro, New Jersey, after the Six-Day War in the Middle East exacerbated tensions. Also in 1967, the Soviet Union and U.S. agreed to begin cooperation in space, with the joint Soyuz-Apollo program. The first treaty on Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons was signed on July 1, 1968.Thompson?s stint as Ambassador to the Soviet Union began in 1957 when President Eisenhower appointed him to the post.? President Kennedy reappointed him in 1961, which was a tribute to Thompson, as new presidents usually name their people to the top diplomatic posts. He ended his first tour in Moscow in 1962, when President Kennedy brought him home to Washington to become his Ambassador-at-Large, as a member of the Executive Committee of the National Security Council, advising the President on Soviet affairs. Shortly after returning to Washington, Thompson provided President Kennedy with advice that was crucial to avoiding nuclear war during the Cuban Missile Crisis. President Johnson reappointed him to the ambassadorship to Moscow in 1967, and he served until 1969.? He came out of retirement to advise President Nixon on the Strategic Arms Limitation Treaty (SALT) negotiations with the Soviet Union and represented the United States in the SALT talks from 1969 until his death in 1972. He thus was able to provide valuable insight into Soviet thought to four American presidents. Secretary of State William P. Rogers called him ?one of the outstanding diplomats of his generation.?From December 18-24, 1956, Nixon traveled to Austria to get first hand accounts from Hungarian refugees, and inspect their conditions and aid requirements. Thompson aided him during that.
