Russia - 1819 Journey From Moscow to Constantinople Book first edition With 6 most attractive aquatint plates, minor foxing, modern calf, 4to. This rare travel account of Russia, Turkey, and the surrounding region includes wonderful images drawn by the author himself. He arrived in Russia during a frozen winter; the frontispiece even shows women in Kiev washing clothes in a hole made in the ice. His descriptions of Moscow are particularly interesting for his observations of the great reconstruction following the fire of 1812 (coinciding with Napoleon's arrival), which decimated most of the city. Many of the iconic neoclassical buildings that come to mind - the Kremlin and the Bolshoi to name a few - were built during this period. MacMichael (1784-1839) was an English physician and scholar. He was elected a Radcliffe traveling fellow in 1811 and made several journeys to the same areas. In fine rebound leather board cover and gold tooled spine, size 21 x 27cm

1815 The Waterloo Medal in Silver Issued by The Waterloo Committee this medal was engraved by Benedetto Pistrucci to commemorate the victory of the Allies at the battle of Waterloo in 1815. The obverse shows the conjoined busts of the Prince Regent (later George IV), Francis II of Austria, Alexander I of Russia and Frederick William III of Prussia; around allegorical and mythological allusions to the Treaty of Peace which resulted from the battle. The reverse shows the two equestrian figures of Wellington and Blucher being guided to the conflict by Victory; around are figures symbolizing the battle of the giants. This is a framed reproduction of the full-sized medal in silver, taken from the original dies, made by the authority of the Waterloo Committee in 1975. It is number 228 of a limited edition, the silver mark is LH (probably Stuart Devlin silversmith).The diameter is 133 mm and dimensions of the frame are 39 cm x 24.5 cm. Note: The Waterloo medal was commissioned in 1815 by the Duke of Wellington to mark the end of the Napoleonic wars, but was never produced, its mammoth dimensions and the complexity and intricacy of its design meant it took 30 years to finalize the dies needed to make it. By the time Pistrucci had completed the work, all the sovereigns of Britain, Austria, Russia and Prussia, most notables and Generals who had been due to receive the medal had died, only the Duke of Wellington remained alive. Britain has belatedly honoured the nations in 2015 which defeated Napoleon at Waterloo with these huge commemorative silver medals, nearly 200 years after the awards were first commissioned. Ambassadors from Austria, Russia and Germany were given the medal at a ceremony at Apsley House, Wellington's London home at Hyde Park Corner. The Queen received one later

Pro Populu Anglicano Defensio by John Milton 1651 First Edition "Pro Populo Anglicano contra Claudii Anonymi, alias Salmasii, defensionem regiam", first Elzevir edition, title with simple woodcut coat-of-arms, old ink note on front fly-leaf relating to Milton's eyesight, bookseller's catalogue description on pastedown, contemporary vellum, [Coleridge 50; Willems 1134], 12mo, Londini, Typis Du Gardianis , 1651. (The full title in English is John Milton an Englishman His Defense of the People of England. It was a piece of propaganda, and made political argument in support of what was at the time the government of England. This work was commissioned by Parliament during Oliver Cromwell's protectorship of England, as a response to a work by Claudius Salmasius entitled Defensio Regia pro Carolo I ("Royal Defense on behalf of Charles I"). Salmasius argued that the rebels led by Cromwell were guilty of regicide for executing King Charles. Milton responded with a detailed justification of the parliamentary party. Milton refused the payment of £100 offered by the Council as its official thanks for his commission to write a defense of the new republic in Latin even as he was losing his eyesight, Milton later wrote, "I resolved therefore that I must employ this brief use of my eyes while yet I could for the greatest possible benefit to the state.").
