Buch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - On June 3, 1920, Brigadier General Mott Hooton was laid to rest in a quiet corner of Oaklands Cemetery, a leafy burial ground on the outskirts of the small south eastern Pennsylvania town of West Chester. A singular man with a singular name, Mott's subsequent fall into historical obscurity belies an adventurous life inextricably linked to a nation in turmoil and transformation. Educated in the 1840s and 1850s by a militaristic French schoolmaster and forged in the crucible of war as commander of a local unit of volunteer soldiers during the Civil War, Mott became a career soldier who bore witness to the westward expansion of settlers onto lands still occupied by indigenous people; revolutions in industry advanced at the expense of American labor; post-Civil War reconstruction of the American south where racial and ideological divisions remained galvanized long after the cannons fell silent; and the evolution of an insular nation into an imperialist power. All the while encountering some of the most notable men of his age: Meade, Custer, Sitting Bull, Miles, Otis, Chaffee, and Theodore Roosevelt.Complex and enigmatic, the story of Mott Hooton reveals a man dedicated to honor and integrity as an officer of the United States Army, yet often conflicted about the role his Government played in subjugating and displacing the indigenous people of the American west. Possessed of a restless spirit and fascinated by humanity, Mott travelled the world. From the great concert halls of Europe and the shores of the Nile to the immensity of Siberia and the royal court of the King of Siam, the story of Mott Hooton reminds us that greatness can be found in the unlikeliest of places.…

Hardcover. Etat : Fine. Bound in contemporary English paneled calf, rebacked. Very fine condition. Two plates lightly browned, marginal foxing to a few leaves. Illustrated with 9 engraved plates of glass-making furnaces, tools, crucibles, and other apparatus. The core of Blancourt's text is Christopher Merret's annotated Latin edition (1668) of Antonio Neri's "L'Arte Vetraria"(1612). Merret had produced his own English (unillustrated) translation of Neri's work in 1662. Among Blancourt's notable contributions to the text are a chapter on crystal, glass and metal mirrors; and an appendix on a secret technique for making glass eyes look "Very Natural". "Antonio Neri's'L'Arte Vetraria'as the first printed book solely devoted to the art of glass formulation. It is a work committed to the subject of refining raw materials and combining them into a range of glasses and a rainbow of colors. The book divides into seven parts, each devoted to a different aspect of the glassmaker's art. He starts with the basics: preparing the fundamental ingredients of glass. Next, he combines those materials into "cristallo." Named after its mineral cousin, rock crystal,cristallowas a sophisticated Venetian specialty renowned for its delicate clarity. Neri details its traditional composition as brought to the Medici court by Venetian masters and then innovates with variations of his own. "At the other end of the spectrum is his "common" glass used for daily utilitarian purposes. He shows the standard formulas used in shops throughout the region and then proceeds to improve upon them. He presents a gamut of colors as well as advice for the glass "to emerge in full beauty and perfection." He shows the way to decolorize glass, to take away even a slight tinge of hue that may be present and bring the melt to perfect crystal clarity. He walks us through numerous recipes in preparation for making an iconic Renaissance glass, including the exquisite chalcedony-engineered to replicate the swirling colors of its namesake mineral. Beautiful to behold and thought by many to engender mystical properties, Neri describes it as "adorned with so many graceful and beautiful areas of undulations and enhanced with the play of diverse, lively, flaming colors." He goes on to describe leaded glasses, artificial gems, enamels and glass paints. Each time he innovates, each time he guides us with encouragement, admonition and painstaking clarity. "That Neri's book was the first of its kind in print is a notable distinction, but one that his deeper accomplishment easily surpasses;'L'Arte Vetraria'preserves a rare glimpse of skilled practical knowledge. In his era, prized techniques were frequently lost to subsequent generations, lost because artisans so often spared the pen. Their precious knowledge went purposely unrecorded, passing in strict confidence from master to apprentice working side by side. In 1612, Neri published his expertise to the world, preserving the techniques and science of glass practices, but also its art. Just as a great painter relies on the quality of pigments at hand, so must a master glass artisan depend upon the materials of the melt. For the glassblowers and furnace workers who shaped hot glass, a superior batch was crucial to superior results. A great piece of glasswork owes its form to the talent of the artist, but its substance is the province of the craftsmen who make the glass. "Neri wrote'L'Arte Vetraria'shortly before his death at the age of thirty-eight. Soon after, Galileo sent it to a friend in Rome, who was anxious for a copy."(Paul Engle, "Antonio Neri, Alchemist, Glassmaker, Priest", Corning Museum of Glass). FIRST ENGLISH EDITION of Jean Haudicquer de Blancourt's "De l?artde la verrerie".…
