Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. 2 +120 full-page diagrams on 60 leaves+14 leaves of solutions with frontispiece. Small octavo (7 1/2" x 5 1/4") bound in original publisher's red cloth with gilt lettering to cover. Autograph letter by Joseph William Abbott, signed and dated March 20, 1888 tipped in. From the librar…y of Lothar Schmid. (Linde - No. 2472; Betts 33-1; Kieler Schachkatalog 6579) First edition. The work is a curated collection of tactical enigmas, primarily focusing on two-move and three-move checkmate problems. Many of the featured compositions were highly regarded entries that previously won prizes in major problem tournaments during the late 19th century. It was written for players who enjoy chess strictly as a puzzle or enigma, omitting dense theoretical explanations in favor of pure tactical study. One of the most famous puzzles from this book is Problem No. 12 (found on page 8), often referred to by chess communities as "The Abbott's Conundrum". It features a "Rex Solis" style scenario where a lone Black King faces a heavy assortment of White pieces. The solution requires White to play the surprising key move 1. Be4! This sacrificial move grants the Black king escape squares but successfully forces a mate on the second move against any defense. Contains 12 two-movers, 72 three-movers, 33 four-movers, and 4 five-movers. Joseph William Abbott was a prominent British chess problemist and composer who created roughly 250 chess puzzles during his lifetime. Born and deceased in London, he specialized in writing complex "mate in two," "mate in three," and multi-move chess problems. : Abbott published his definitive collection of chess compositions in 1887 under the title 121 Chess Problems. Between 1862 and the early 1900s, his work regularly featured in major period publications, including The Illustrated London News, English Chess Problems, and The City of London Chess Magazine. Lothar Maximilian Lorenz Schmid (10 May 1928 - 18 May 2013) was a German chess grandmaster. He was born in Radebeul near Dresden into a family who were the co-owners of the Karl May Press, which published the German Karl May adventure novels. He was best known as the chief arbiter at several World Chess Championship matches, in particular the 1972 encounter between Bobby Fischer and Boris Spassky at Reykjavic. He was also an avid collector of chess books and paraphernalia. It was reputed that he owned the largest known private chess library in the world, as well as a renowned collection of chess art, chess boards and chess pieces from around the globe. Condition: Lothar Schmid's book plate to front endpaper verso. Interior slightly toned. Binding dusty with slightly bumped corners. Tipped in letter is multi-folded, toned, shows scattered spotting, and bears signs of use else very good. Inscribed by Author(s).

'Lady Martin has… done what she is now most reluctant to do - written the name she once bore with a few lines from Cymbeline. I have copied the verse you wish from the little Bon Gaultier Poem'.

Folio (320 x 204mm). [84] pages = [13 + 3 blank + 51… + 1 blank + 10 + 2 blank + 12]. Introductory 4- page letter in French in roman letters signed by the author at the end; main text in German penned in a neat gothic hand arranged in half-page columns; with tactical sketches in two of the ample blank margins. also some notes. Leaves with vertical folding marks in centre- page; contents inscription on recto of front blank leaf in a contemporary gothic hand: Grundsätze Ueber die Richtung mit mehreren Batallions von dem F[eld]z[eug]m[ei]ster Grafen von Siskowitz 1782. Contemporary sprinkled brown boards; gilt morocco title label in top of backstrip; ends of spine worn; contemporary armorial bookplate pasted inside frontcover. An unpublished Austrian 18th century treatise on linear tactics and function. The present manuscript interprets the principle of officers and non-commissioned officers having to maintain a straight line consisting of several ranks when advancing in battalion strength. (The Prussians mostly used the oblique order in most of their battles). This was based on the author s experiences during the Seven Years War (1756-63), when Prussian infantry advanced in three lines of battalions with three ranks apiece. Movement in the formation was very slow and a breakdown in cohesion likely unless the battalion was well trained. Described in detail are the various manoeuvers involved for directing marching columns, keeping proper distance, and wheeling at the right moment; two illustrations (one half-page) and 15 commentaries are contained in the ample blank margins. Siskowitz, an Hungarian staff officer from Szeged, made a rapid career in the Imperial Austrian army reaching the rank of lieutenant.general . He distinguished himself at the battle of Kolin in 1757, where he successfully carried out an order by Fieldmarshal von Daun to ambush a Prussian column with a force of 7000 men for which he was decorated and ennobled. The author died in Prague on 18th December 1783. The present manuscript was submitted to the attention of an unnamed military superior by way of an introductory letter in French on the subject. The 4-page extract , dated 12th February 1783, signed C[om]te.Siskovics , has been bound to precede the manuscript in this volume. The letter refers to an imperial order by Joseph II to align flags and marching columns of several battalions before advancing on the enemy; Siskowitz states that he considers it necessary to prescribe his method saying that he has no difficulty whatsoever to submit it to the recipient as an old friend if he wishes to make use of it. However, he stresses that his system should be carefully studied before it is put it into practice. Siskovitz insists the relevant maneuvers be carried out by officers and non-commissioned officers, never by other ranks, that they must be properly exercised before applied, and that it was not sufficient to rely on reading his instructions. He states that he demonstrated his method in 1782 with 13 batallions taking 2000 steps in 8 seconds. Both letter and manuscript are written on the same quality Dutch laid paper showing two different watermarks respectively : a larger with the legend PRO PATRIA surrounding a circular composition and a smaller one wih the the crowned initials GR of the paper maker within a round border of intertwined leaves. The Pro Patria or Maid of Dort watermark shows a seated maid, holding a hat on the point of a spear, and a rampant lion brandishing a sword and holding a bundle of arrows; both are surrounded by a palisade, a symbol of Holland maintaining liberty by force of arms.

The recipient Eileen Margaret Cond (1911-1984) of Honiton was an enthusiastic collector of autographs, with the ability of drawing… a more than perfunctory response from her targets. 1p, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded for postage. Signed 'Geoffrey Jenkins'. He explains that the 'inordinate' delay in replying to her letter is due to having been 'up to the ears in finishing my new book, which is entitled A GRUE OF ICE and is to be published in Britain and America in the autumn'. The book is 'now done' and the manuscript is with his publishers. 'On the strength of the synopsis alone I was given the most handsome contracts on both sides of the Atlantic and everyone is predicting that it will be a very big success.

Aggiungi al carrelloBoth items in good condition on aged paper. A dramatic, almost novelistic correspondence, regarding 'the Signora' (named in the second letter as 'Mme Sineo', who is staying at her house in Torquay and is apparently too frail to return to her London house. Letter One: Docketed 'No 1'. 12mo, 4 pp. Peard states that she has not 'wr…itten of late about the Signora. She has got fairly well again, but she does not seem to us fit to return to London, & I hear that her doctor does not think she ever will be fit. This she does not know, & you must not let out!' As her 'best friend', Mrs Cole will know whether 'she would be better off if she had only one home'. 'She is a very difficult person to advise, & is easily offended. I believe she has never been angry with me, but then I am very cautious! [.] One lady here, too (a friend of mine) has always pleased her, & has been very kind.' Letter Two: Docketed 'No 2. Do not return any of these | S C'. 12mo, 3 pp. She thanks her for her 'long & explicit' letter, which puts me fully in possession of the case'. She has written to Madame Sineo's doctor, 'saying I had only heard that he did not think she could ever return to London, & if that was his opinion suggesting it might be better for him to tell her so, on account of her rooms in London.' The doctor's answer 'does not take any responsibility!' Peard then states: 'I do not want it [i.e. responsibility] again.' The kind lady has given Madame Sineo '£5 at Xmas, & £3 last week, & no doubt others have assisted her'. Peard does not think 'we can do anything about her going back to London'. She ends by congratulating Mrs Cole on her son's book. The identity of 'the Signora' is unclear, but the Athenaeum, 11 January 1862, carries an advertisement for Italian teaching by 'Professor and Madame Sineo-Benaducci' of 17 Northumberland Place, Westbourne Grove.

Aggiungi al carrelloNone. Condizione: Very Good. Quarto, ca. 27x19,5 cm (10 ½ x 7 ¾ in). Four pages; brown ink on cream laid paper with fleur-de-lis watermark, written in a legible hand. Paper aged and slightly faded, with fold marks, but the text is still bright and easy distinguishable. Beautiful period style crimson elaborately gilt tooled custo…m made full morocco clamshell box with cloth chemise. The letter in very good condition. Remarkable and Very Important Primary Source for Russian-Western European relations in the 17th century. This is a very important anonymous letter: "Curiosissimi Costumi de'Sig.i Ambasciatori Moscoviti, che ora si trovano in Livorno per passare all'Ambasciata di Venezia." According to the historians who worked with two other known copies of the letter (see below: Attribution of "Relatione d'Alcuni Costumi") it was written by a first-hand witness of the embassy, somehow involved with it, most likely between the 19th and 23rd of December, 1656. The written dialect of the letter's language indicates that the author was a common person from Livorno, possibly of Sicilian origin. The letter vividly describes the Muscovite diplomatic delegation, staying in Livorno on its way to Venice in the winter of 1656. It was an official embassy to the Doge of Venice from the Russian Tsar Alexey Mikhailovich (1629-1676) sent in 1656-57 and headed by the Pereyaslavl governor Ivan Ivanovich Chemodanov (before 1618 - after 1657) and Deacon A. Postnikov. The goal of the embassy was to strengthen political and commercial relations with Venice, to negotiate the joint struggle against the Turks, to give Venetians the permission to trade in Archangelsk, and to borrow money from the Doge. A small "side task" was to: "to sell a hundred poods (1600kgs) of rhubarb and some sable furs for a thousand roubles." Overall the embassy didn't achieve its goals as it didn't manage to get the money from the Doge and to successfully sell the stale rhubarb and the sable furs (some of which were damaged during the voyage to Italy and some were sold to feed the embassy itself). The embassy left Venice in March 1657 and went back to Russia through Switzerland, Germany and Holland. In spite of a lack of diplomatic skills, Chemodanov's embassy left its trace in history. Its members became the first Russians to travel to Italy by sea, around northern Europe. They left Archangelsk on the 12th of September, 1656; passed the "Northern Nose" (North Cape), the "land of the Danish king," "Icelant, or Icy island (Iceland)," "the lands of Hamburg and Bremen," Scotland, Holland, "possessions of the English King," French and Spanish lands - "all those countries we passed from the left," and arrived in Livorno on the 24th of November the same year. During the voyage they suffered from storms in the Atlantic, when most of the state goods were damaged. The embassy's appearance in Italy was met with great interest and curiosity; the official relations from both the Russian and Italian sides noted crowds of people accompanying the Muscovites wherever they went. Our letter "Relatione d'Alcuni Costumi" reveals what impression the Russian diplomats made on the Italians, e.g. "they are dressed in cloth of cotton wool as they are afraid of cold, which is very common in their country"; "they beat their servants with their own hands, and so brutally that four of five of them was on the verge of death, and one ran away and is still not found"; "they have sable skins for 100 thousand skudi and also a big amount of rhubarb, caviar and salted fish, and it stinks so much, that people get sick, and where they were for one hour it stinks afterwards for twelve hours. "The Muscovites often seemed barbaric to the inhabitants of Livorno, as they all slept together, "and the Ambassador with them too, as he was afraid to fall off the bed"; they liked wine, but "put it all in one barrel, not distinguishing whether it is white or red or any sort of wine"; when the Governor took them around the city in a carriage, local people we.
