Hardcover. Condizione: Fair. No Jacket. 312 pages, 4 unnumbered leaves of plates) : illustrations ; illustrated half-title by Whitney & Jocelyn ; Samuel G. Goodrich was an American bookseller, publisher, and writer well known during his lifetime for his engaging educational works for children. Writing under the pen name Peter Parley, Goodrich crafted fictional stories grounded in the science and knowledge of the time. Goodrich's The Balloon Travels of Robert Merry, published in this format in 1856, appeared serially in his Merry's Magazine in the years prior. Goodrich incorporated geography, aeronautics, and general science into a ballooning adventure tale across Europe with intrepid young travelers, whose ages were around those of Goodrich's intended readers."--Smithsonian ; "Largely self-educated, Goodrich became a bookseller and publisher at Hartford and later in Boston. There, beginning in 1828, he published for 15 years an illustrated annual, the Token, to which he was a frequent contributor both in prose and verse. The Token contained some of the earliest work of Nathaniel Hawthorne and Henry W. Longfellow. Goodrich published Peter Parley's Magazine (1832-44) and then merged it into his Merry's Museum, founded in 1841 and for a time edited by Louisa May Alcott. In 1827 he began, under the name of Peter Parley, his series of books for the young, which embraced geography, biography, history, science, and miscellaneous tales. He was the sole composer of comparatively few of these, but in his Recollections of a Lifetime, 2 vol. (1856), he wrote that he was "the author and editor of about 170 volumes," of which about 7,000,000 copies had been sold, and gave a list both of the works of which he was the author or editor and of the spurious works published under his name. He was widely imitated, especially in England, where seven Peter Parleys held the field. Goodrich was a member of the Massachusetts House of Representatives in 1836 and of the state Senate in 1837. In 1851-53 he was consul at Paris, where he remained until 1855. ' - Britanica ; 5 plates laid in ; slightly knocked blind stamp tooling ; water stain on front ; FAIR only. Book. …

LEICESTER Fitzgerald Charles STANHOPE, (1784-1862) born in Dublin, later Lord Harrington, was a professional military man for most of his career who had previously served in South America, and later in India as deputy quartermaster-general, seeing action in the highly controversial British East India Company's storming of Talneir [Fort Talnar] during the Third Anglo-Maratha War of 1817-18 (DNB and RCT). This volume, however, highlights how Stanhope's professional managerial skills, and grasp of complex international diplomacy made him an an effective representative of the interests of the London Greek Committee's support for Greek independence in the 1820's. Based on the Colonel's correspondence, with many letters being addressed to the Committee's John Bowring (1792-1872), the work is most interesting in Stanhope's description of the the motives behind the various competing international interests, as the Russians and the Italian-occupying Austrians vie to fill the power vacuum pending the foreseen final defeat of the Ottoman despots who had ruled Greece for centuries. Motives of the English government also come in for criticism. Comments on Lord Byron's participation show differences of opinions. As a firsthand account of the democratic ideals which Stanhope and his contemporaries wished for the Greek people, this is also a revealing collection. He corresponds with Jeremy Bentham, who is drafting legislation and a constitution for the new proposed Greek republican monarchy; selections for the new monarch are discussed, with the Prince of Cobourg being deemed "as acceptable as any that could be settled." (p 28); there is discussion Stanhope's consultation with the various regional or national Philhellenic Committees on monetary support, armaments and training of the nascent Greek army; on the leadership qualities of Prince Mavrocordata and contemporaries. More idealistic concerns are for provision of education for the Greek youth, both in Greece and abroad. Provision of presses for the "The Greek Chronicle" and dissemination of letters by Lord Erskine and Lord Byron are planned. In the end, it would take three battles between 1822 and April 10, 1826 at Missolonghi to unseat the Ottomans and their allies from the Greek archipelago.** MUSTAPHA ALI, a ten year old survivor of skirmishes at Argos , is both the subject of the frontis. portrait, and a biographical entry. Capt. Humphries rescued the boy from destitution and later relinquished his care to the Author, Col. Stanhope, who adopted the boy and brought him to be raised in England.**Artist THOMAS CHARLES WAGEMAN (1787-1863), a prolific portraitist and draughtsman whose work is represented in Britain's National Portrait Gallery. He produced a number of illustrations of theater personalities of the early eighteenth century for publishers Sherwood, Jones, & Co. and his work also appeared in various magazines. Engraving by T.L. Busby. (Nat. Portrait Gallery) **PROVENANCE: GRANVILLE HASTINGS WHELER (1701-1770), with his signature to the title page. Perhaps best remembered as a clergyman and amateur scientist who, with his friend Stephen Gray, "conducted experiments with electricity," in imitation of the work of Benjamin Franklin, at his house, Otterden Place, near Charing, Kent. He was later elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1728, publishing his findings on the repulsive power of electricity in "The Philosophical Transactions" of 1729 (DNB). His father, SIR GEORGE WHELER (1650-1723) was yet another (earlier) Enlightenment-era a travel writer on Greece. The elder Wheler, canon of Durham Cathedral, traveled around Greece and the Levant in 1675 and 1676 with fellow travel writer the Frenchman James Spon. Wheler then published "A Journey into Greece" in 1682 (ESTC R9388). It has been said that their seventeenth century travelogues became an important introduction to still relatively unexplored destinations. Wheler's work was translated into French. **Note: the binding is consistent with that of our No. 9678, P. Gamba's " A Narrative of Lord Byron's Last Journey to Greece" (1825), also with Wheler's signature to the title page, but in better condition. Note: This book does not appear in James White's Sale Catalogue of the Rev. Granville Wheler Library of August 1771, and may perhaps have been missed out for some reason, or gone to another relative after Wheler's death. (AMJ). Thomas Charles Wageman; T.L.
