Item Details

Description

1847 BEAUTIFUL 1ed LIFE OF A NEGRO SLAVE + HISTORY OF THE JEWS Fine Binding

â€œChambers Miscellany of Useful and Entertaining Tracts,” published from 1844-1847, served as the precursor to the renowned â€œChambers Encyclopaedia” developed by Scottish brothers, William and Robert Chambers. Spanning 20 total volumes, the Miscellany offers an intriguing assortment of articles spanning various topics, showcasing the range of scholarly pursuits that would become the hallmark of the Chambers works.

This particular book contains Volumes XVII and XVIII bound together in a single tome. Volume XVII includes an eclectic mix of writings such as a biography of Sir Walter Scott, William H. Prescotts narrative on â€œThe Conquest of Mexico,” Charles Balls tale of his personal journey entitled, â€œLife of a Negro Slave”, and intriguing insights into the â€œWonders of the Microscope”. Volume XVIII continues the trend of diverse content, featuring biographies of eminent personalities like Sir William Jones and Dr. Alexander Murray, a historical account of Jews in England, anecdotes of early painters such as Leonardo Da Vinci and Michealangelo, and thought-provoking pieces on Metallic Treasures of the Earth and Fireside Education.
