Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nature of power and government through an allegorical account of a widespread flood. It opens with a vision of England descended into chaos, its institutions overwhelmed by factions and self-interest. The author uses this allegory to critique the political landscape of the period, arguing that the country's decline is born not of external threats, but of internal divisions and a failure of leadership. In exploring these themes, the author draws on examples from history and literature, contrasting the virtues of strong and wise leadership with the dangers of demagoguery and tyranny. Ultimately, the book argues that the key to Britain's salvation lies in a return to traditional values of integrity, unity, and national purpose.

The long poem celebrates the life and achievements of the Algerian Arab and Sufi leader who fought French colonialism and ther scorched-earth policy they used to suppress the Muslim population. Abd-el-Kader became a cause celebre declaring jihad against the French and in his exile in Damascus protecting the Christian population against the Druze. Abraham Lincoln presented him with a pair of revolvers."Abdelkader ibn Muhieddine (6 September 1808 ¿ 26 May 1883)), known as the Emir Abdelkader or Abdelkader El Djezairi, was an Algerian religious and military leader who led a struggle against the French colonial invasion in the mid-19th century. An Islamic scholar and Sufi who unexpectedly found himself leading a military campaign, he built up a collection of Algerian tribesmen that for many years successfully held out against one of the most advanced armies in Europe. His consistent regard for what would now be called human rights, especially as regards his Christian opponents, drew widespread admiration, and a crucial intervention to save the Christian community of Damascus from a massacre in 1860 brought honours and awards from around the world. Within Algeria, his efforts to unite the country against foreign invaders saw him hailed as the "modern Jugurtha", and his ability to combine religious and political authority has led to his being acclaimed as the "Saint among the Princes, the Prince among the Saints".The town of Elkader in Iowa in the United States is named after Abdelkader. The town's founders Timothy Davis, John Thompson and Chester Sage were impressed by his fight against French colonial power and decided to pick his name as the name for their new settlement in 1846" wiki 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾". …

Narcissus bloom pressed at pp. 210-11, with attendant offsetting. Else, clean and tight. Good+ A handsomely bound, if well-handled, copy of the scarce first edition of George William Finch-Hatton, 10th Earl of Winchilsea's epic poem and "experiment" in long-form ballad metre about his near contemporary, the Algerian warrior and Sufi spiritual leader Emir Abd el-Kader, fondly inscribed in the year of publication to his sister-in-law, Marianne Sophia Rice, the great-niece of Jane Austen; decades earlier Austen had described the poet- and peer-to-be as "very handsome and agreeable, [he] danced very well, and flirted famously [] all the young ladies were in love with George Hatton". It was Finch-Hatton's third marriage, to Fanny Margaretta Rice (1820-1909), that later knit him into the Austen family: the sister of Finch-Hatton's inscribee, they were both daughters of Elizabeth Austen and granddaughters of Jane Austen's most fortunate brother, Edward Austen Knight. George William Finch-Hatton, 10th Earl of Winchilsea, 5th Earl of Nottingham (17911858) was an English peer and Tory politician, a vociferous opponent of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill 1829 and the Reform Act. His public critique of the former led to his infamous duel with the Prime Minister, Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington that same year. Both survived. A near contemporary of Finch-Hatton (who, indeed, acknowledged himself as "singularly fortunate" in finding "such a hero as the Numidian Emir as yet unappropriated by others"), Emir Abd el-Kader (1807/8-1883) was a scholar, diplomat, religious and military leader who headed the resistance against French colonial forces in Algeria. In 1847 he was forced to surrender and by 1851, and the publication of Finch-Hatton's poem, Abd el-Kader was being held in France; his fate became a cause célèbre in certain circles. Louis-Napoleon Bonaparte would release him the following year and provide him with a pension. Abd el-Kader moved to the Levant, eventually settling in Damascus, where he protected Christians during the pogrom of 1860. This copy was handed down another generation in the Rice family (of Rice Portrait fame), with the armorial ex libris belonging to Henry Edward Harcourt Rice (1864-1943), the only son of Fanny and Marianne's eldest brother, Admiral Sir Edward Bridges Rice and his wife Cecilia Caroline Harcourt.…
