Published soon after his untimely death, this spirited memoir of the artist and illustrator Randolph Caldecott (1846–1886) will appeal as much for its value as a portrait composed by a close acquaintance, as for the many drawings it contains. Written by Henry Blackburn (the editor of the London Society, 'an illustrated magazine of light and amusing literature' to which Caldecott contributed a number of drawings), it uses a style similar to that of Caldecott himself, who often peppered his papers, personal letters to family and friends, and even official documents with small sketches. These would take as their subject some humorous remark, or simply illustrate the content of the text. Beyond illustration (in which he was highly successful) Caldecott had a varied career as a sculptor and oil painter (exhibiting at the Royal Academy) and as a watercolourist, being elected to the Royal Institute of Watercolour Painting in 1872.

Randolph of Roanoke: A Study in Conservative Thought is a book written by Russell Kirk, which explores the life and political philosophy of John Randolph of Roanoke, a prominent American statesman and conservative thinker of the early 19th century. The book delves into Randolph's beliefs on limited government, states' rights, individual liberty, and the importance of tradition and custom in society. Kirk examines Randolph's role in shaping the political landscape of his time, including his opposition to the centralization of power in the federal government and his support for the agrarian way of life. Through a thorough analysis of Randolph's speeches, letters, and other writings, Kirk provides insight into the mind of this influential figure and sheds light on the origins of conservative thought in America. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American conservatism and the ideas that have shaped the country's political landscape.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

Randolph Carter

Randolph Carter

H. P. Lovecraft

Carter is a quiet and melancholy dreamer with a sensitive disposition, prone to fainting during times of emotional stress. But he can also be courageous, with enough strength of mind and character to face and foil the horrific creatures of the Dreamlands. Randolph Carter is an antiquarian and one-time student of the Miskatonic University. Based on clues from various stories, he was probably born around 1874 and grew up in and around Boston. At the age of nine, he underwent a mysterious experience at his great-uncle Christopher's farm and thereafter exhibited a gift of prophecy. He is the descendant of Sir Randolph Carter, who had studied magic during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England. Sir Randolph had then emigrated to America and his son Edmund Carter later had to flee the Salem witch-trials. Carter also had an ancestor involved in one of the Crusades, who was captured by the Muslims and learned "wild secrets" from them. This volume contains all of H P Lovecraft's stories about Randolph Carter.
