France, A Minstrel In Harry Lauder
NY Hearst's International Library Co. 1918 First Edition Cloth Very Good
First edition, (1918) Red cloth board w gold gilt stamp across top and blind stamp thistle bottom right corner. Boards slightly faded with shelf wear and soft spine ends, e. P hinge 1/3 open - unprepared. Back 1/2 open. Back board has a black stain on lower edge. End pages have light tanning, text pages clean and tight, SIR HARRY LAUDER was one of the most popular entertainers in the world before World War I, touring the globe numerous times to great acclaim. But he almost left the stage for good after his only child, Captain John Lauder, was killed in action in France just after Christmas 1916... Until his wife, Nance, and his fans reminded him that his power to bring joy and laughter to the world was too important to be abandoned. Here, in this stirring 1918 book, Lauder (1870-1950) relates how he transformed sorrow to action, honoring his son's last words -Carry on! - by becoming the first performer to entertain troops in the battlefields, a dangerous mission (he regularly came under fire) he carried out in both world wars. Knighted in 1919 for his service to the British Empire, Lauder is an inspiration to this day, and this is a remarkable tale of a father's grief and a legacy that continues to affect soldiers and their families today.; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall

Gan, Xu; Makeham, John; Xu, Gan Balanced Discourses
Cumberland, Rhode Island Yale Univ. Press 2003 0300092016 First American Edition Hardcover New in New dust jacket
New, 366 pages including index, a bilingual edition; No remainder mark, from the flap: Written by the Han philosopher Xu Gan (a. D. 170-217) , Balance Discourses is an inquiry into the courses of political breakdown, It provides a unique contemporary account of the social, intellectual, and cosmological factors that XU Gan identified as having precipitated the demise of the Han Dynasty. This edition of Zhanglun (Balanced Discourses) contains the original Chinese text with annotations and on facing pages, an English translation also with annotation. This Collection of essays spans a range of topics, from Confucian cultivation to calendrical calculation. Xu's perspectives are of not only historical but also philosophical interest, for they reveal his belief in a special correlative bond that should exist between names and actualities and his understanding of what happens when that bond is broken. The translator, Jon Makeham, argues in his introduction that the essays display the same quality of balance that Xu Gan sees as essential to social and political equilibrium.; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
