by: Evelyn Waugh

Hardcover. London, Chapman & Hall, 1st, 1938, Book: Very Good, Dust Jacket: None, Hardcover, publisher's red and black marble-patterned cloth, lettered in gilt to spine.

Boot is mistakenly identified as his novelist cousin and sent to the fictional East African country of Ishmaelia to cover its socialist insurrection. Ironically, Boot's naivete allows him to get the real "scoop" not reported by more experienced journalists. Notably, Scoop is based on Waugh's own experiences working as a journalist for the British Daily Mail during Mussolini's 1935 invasion of Ethiopia. Clean, square copy.

Scriptural Ecclesiastical and Historical View of Slavery from the Days of the Patriarch Abraham to the Nineteenth Century Addressed to The Right Rev. Alonzo Potter
by:

Hardcover. NY, W. I. Pooley & Co., 1st., 1864, Book: Very Good, Hardcover, embossed brown cloth with gilt design on spine, 376 pages. Hopkins was the first Protestant Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese of Vermont. Writing after the Emancipation Proclamation had turned the sectional conflict into a war against slavery, he argues in detail that slavery is not forbidden by scripture and hence is not a sin. Deals with the history of slavery, beginning with the Biblical view and slavery of circumstances, and its comparison to the Southern system at this time during the Civil War. Chapter XXX deals with Man-stealing, of which, the author asserts, the Southern States had nothing to do, with the title of the Southern masters shown to be as good as the titles of the North to their lands taken from the Indians. Following chapters also deal specifically with the Golden Rule, the treatment of slaves, testimonies of the Southern clergy, and ultimately a view from the author in favor of the practice of slaveholding. Crease to front board hardly noticeable from the outside but visible inside front cover. Otherwise a tight, clean copy.
