Three small nicks at the upper rear jacket edge; the jacket is otherwise in fine condition (see photographs). " "Everyone dies, but no one is dead," goes the Tibetan saying. It is with these words that Advice on Dying teakes flight. Using a seventeenth-century poem written by a prominent scholar-practitioner, His Hiliness the Dalai Lama draws from a wide range of traditions and beliefs to explore the stages we all go through when we die, which are the very same stages we experience in life when we go to sleep, faint, or reach orgasm (Shakespeare's "little death"). The stages are described so vividly that we can imagine the process of traveling deeper into the mind, on the ultimate journey of transformation. In this way, His Holiness shows us how to prepare for that time and, in doing so, how to enrich our time on earth, die without fear or upset, and influence the stage between this life and the next so sthat we may gain the best possible incarnation. As always, the ultimate goal is to advance along the path to enlightenment, Advice on Dying is an essential tool for attaining that enternal bliss." - from the inner front jacket flap.

Single sheet. RARE. The first dispensary to assist the poor was opened in 1778 and this one in Church Street in 1781. By the 1820s there were two dispensaries (the other in St James' Street) with a paid Apothecary, three surgeons, three physicians and a stipendiary house surgeon who attend six days a week providing their services gratuitously to over 26,000 persons in a year.

Single sheet. RARE. The Monks' Well at Wavertree with the cross as it formerly stood. This is a place where charitable contributions were once collected. The base of the cross (added with the cross itself in the late 19th century) bears the inscription Qui non dat quod habet Doemon infra ridet and Anno 1414, roughly meaning The Devil laughs below at he who does not give what he has. The date 1414 may not be an exaggeration. The Pevsner Guide describes the lower stonework including the arch as undoubtedly mediaeval. Moss's Liverpool Guide of 1796 states that a monastic house was once alongside. On the cross itself is the inscription Deus dedit homo bibit or God gives, man drinks. The whole lies on the site of a spring where pure water once bubbled out from the sandstone of Olive Mount. The archway, now bricked up, once led to steps giving access to a stone cistern containing water. 22 x 27 cm.

Single sheet. RARE. St. Peter's Church was erected in 1700. Church Street used to be cut off from Lord Street by salt water and, until the Pool was closed in 1709, Church Street and the country beyond could only be reached by crossing over the Pool by the bridge at the foot of Lord Street. Church Street remained unpaved until 1760, and was not flagged until 1816, although there were constant complaints of its muddy state, whilst one writer depicts it as a quagmire, for there was a cattle market held there once a week. Faint water stain in left margin. Paper watermarked HS 1806. 22 x 27 cm.

Single sheet. RARE. The Royalist Army camped in the area during the English Civil War Siege of Liverpool and the capture of the castle in June 1644.

Meanwhile, Everton had begun rapidly to lose its sylvan beauties. Paper watermarked HS 1804. This plate was engraved by H. Hole. 22 x 27 cm.

His fierce exterior hides a compassionate soul that few- students and soldiers alike- will ever see, and he becomes the greatest commander of the Civil War. We follow (illustratore). 1st Edition. large Size Book, 1st Printing.Here is Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson, a hopelessly by-the-book military instructor and devout Christian. His fierce exterior hides a compassionate soul that few- students and soldiers alike- will ever see, and he becomes the greatest commander of the Civil War. We follow Winfield Scott Hancock, a Captain of Quartermasters who is assigned command of a brigade of infantry, quickly establishing himself as one of the finest leaders in the Union army. Then there is Joshua Chamberlain, who gives up his promising academic career to volunteer for service in the new army, only to become one of the most heroic soldiers in American history. And here too is a brilliant portrait of the complex, aristocratic Robert E. Lee, who is faced with the agonizing decision of resigning from a distinguished thirty-year army career in order to defend his home, never believing until too late that a civil war would ever truly come to pass. As the war gathers momentum, Stonewall Jackson wins his reputation by a series of stinging victories over ineptly led Union forces. Lee, finally given command of the Confederate forces, recognizes that this strange, devout, and dangerous man is his greatest weapon. For a time, it truly seems as if Lee will lead his army to final victory. Nowhere is this plainer than at the Battle of Fredericksburg, where, for the first time, all four men meet on the same field and experience the exhilaration and raw horror of battle. But it is in the next great fight, the Battle of Chancellorsville, that Lee's brilliant strategy, and Jackson's supreme achievement, are overshadowed when Jackson is mortally wounded by his own men. This loss is the true turning point of the war. Lee now realizes that against the ever-growing numbers of Union forces, he can only win by a direct threat to Washington. So the battle-hardened armies of the Confederacy begin their fateful invasion of the North, toward an obscure crossroads in Pennsylvania called Gettysburg.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. Welch, Chris (book design); Amoroso, Lisa (jacket design); Farber, Don (photograph of His Holiness the Dalai Lama; Brandt, David (photograph of Howard C. Cutler, M.D.) (illustratore). New condition yellow boards, beige spine, and gold front cover and spine lettering contained in a new condition non price-clipped color photographic dust jacket. Includes Author Dedication; Author's Note; Introduction; Acknowledgments and Selected Titles By His Holiness The Dalai Lama. "Nearly every time you see him, he's laughing, or at least smiling. And he makes everyone else around him feel like smiling. He's the Dalai Lama, the spiritual and temporal leader of Tibet, a Nobel Prize winner, and an increasingly popular speaker and statesman. Why is he so popular? Even after spending only a few minutes in his presence you can't help feeling happier. If you aks him if he's happy, even though he's suffered the loss of his country, the Dalai Lama will give you an unconditional yes. What's more, he'll tell you that happiness is the purpose of life, and that "the very motion of our life is towards happiness." How to get there has always been the question. He's tried to answer it before but he's never had the help of a psychiatrist to get the message across in a context we can easily understand. Through conversations, stories, and meditations, the Dalai Lama shows us how to defeat day-to-day anxiety, insecurity, anger, and discouragement. Together with Dr. Cutler, he explores many facets of everyday life, including relationships, loss, and the pursuit of wealth, to illustrated how to ride through life's obstacles on a deep and abiding source of inner peace. Based on 2,500 years of Buddhist meditations mixed with a healthy dose of common sense, The Art of Happiness is a book that crosses the boundaries of traditions to help readers with difficulties common to all human beings." -- from the inner front jacket flap.

Single sheet. RARE. Corn Exchange on the south side of Brunswick Street. It was opened in 1808 and had the advantage over the previous exchange in Mark Lane that being completely covered in those who frequent it are secured from the inclemencies of the weather! 22 x 27 cm.

Single sheet. RARE. Custom House at the end of the Old Dock. The old docks were built after an Act of Parliament was passed in 1710. The inhabitants and merchants made a large basin or wet dock, at the east end of the town. The custom house was at the east end and on the quays are shops, houses and warehouses. A guide of 1810 comments: many of which have a very old and a very inelegant appearance. In the vicinity of this dock, the streets are in general low and wet, but the rent of the houses high, and they are numerously inhabited. There was a wet dock - where ships were continuously afloat- and a dry dock-which at low tide drained of water and allowed ships to be accessed easily. Numerous vessels used the old docks such as ships from Ireland, the Mediterranean, West Indies and Africa. Faint water stain in left margin. Paper watermarked HS 1807. 22 x 27 cm.

Single sheet. RARE. The first stone was laid on the thirtieth of June, 1803, and the masonry completed in March, 1807. To give the greatest degree of beauty possible to this noble design, stone of a very fine quality has been obtained from the quarries of the Earl of Sefton, in Toxteth-park, near Liverpool; and a sum of eighty thousand pounds has been raised by subscription, in shares of one hundred pounds each. The area of the Liverpool Exchange-buildings, is more than twice the area of the London Exchange; that of the one is 197 feet, from north to south, and 178 feet from east to west; that of the other is 144 feet by 117; the former contains 35,066 square feet; the latter only 16,848 square feet. 22 x 27 cm.

Single sheet. RARE. The Town Hall is situated near the centre of the town, having the New Exchange Buildings on the north, and Castle-street on the south. The first stone was laid in 1748, and the whole was completed in 1754. In 1795 the interior was consumed by fire, but has since been rebuilt. The expenses, including the furniture and internal decorations, were £110,000. The old cupola being thought too heavy, and not harmonizing with the rest of the structure, was removed, and the present one erected. The east and west fronts remain unchanged; but the part on the north side, which comprises the principal ball-room, has been added; and on the south side, a few years since, was built the portico and pediment; an addition that has contributed much to improve the general appearance of this edifice. 22 x 27 cm.
