<p>This book was written in 1770, and might thus plausibly claim the distinction of being the first American novel. It is an early work of two men who later came to rank among the most important literary figures of the American Revolution and early Republic. Hugh Henry Brackenridge (1748-1816) was a distinguished Pennsylvania jurist and politician. Philip Freneau (1752-1832) was the author of anti-British satires during the Revolution, and an anti-Federalist editor working for Jefferson in the early 1790s. This is a humorous work which contrasts East and West, Bombo's exotic mission and the mundane world in which he travels. It was actually written to mock members of the Cliosophic Society at Princeton Univ. and the tradition of oriental romance. Illus.</p>

Leonard L. Milberg Collection of American Poetry

WOOLMER, J. Howard

Poetry

This catalog is a companion volume to The Leonard L. Milberg Collection of American Poetry, published by Princeton Univ. Library in 1994. The Milberg Collection of Irish Poetry started with eight or ten poets and has since grown to the point where the Library now collects all of the printed works of 50 poets from both the Irish Republic and the North. Each entry in this catalog lists the title, place, and date of publication, and publication price, when known. Some poets include: Samuel Beckett, Sara Berkeley, Padraic Colum, Seamus Heaney, Thomas Kinsella, Paul Muldoon, Denis O Driscoll, Sean O Riordain, and Matthew Sweeney. Includes an Introduction by Wes Davis. Photos.

Catalogue of the Cotsen Children's Library: The Twentieth Century, M-Z. VOLUME 2 ONLY

This catalogue, which accompanies the eponymous exhibition in Princeton University Library s Special Collections Gallery, January 28-July 10, 2011, provides an overview of many of the works contained in the still-growing Leonard L. Milberg Collection of Irish Prose Writers, but it is by no means comprehensive. It is hoped that this exhibition will be a springboard to further investigation of the library s Irish holdings and a guide to the multiplicity of ways an expanded history of Irish prose can be read. Full-color illustrations. Beautifully designed.

<p>This volume, issued for the 350th anniversary (1664-2014) of the naming of New Jersey, reproduces historic maps that both memorialize the past and orient the future. Supporting the maps are illustrations from atlases and, where possible, recent photographs of the same structures and areas for the purpose of historical contrast. An important source has been utilized: Thomas F. Gordon s Gazetteer of the State of New Jersey, the state s first gazetteer, published in 1834. Gordon s notes on every village, hamlet, and creek provide interesting textual references to the visual features of the maps. Includes an 1828 map of New Jersey in a pocket inside the back cover. There is also a special edition available of 350 volumes bound in cloth, numbered and signed by author and designer, including a separate folder of large facsimiles of the first wall maps of New Jersey s 21 counties, with both book and folder housed in a custom slipcase.</p>
