1869 Confederate Navy Memoirs of Raphael Semmes Service Afloat Civil WAR RARE

Raphael Semmes was a Confederate officer in the American Civil War, commanding ships in the Confederate and the United States Navy. He published a collection of memoirs and war reminiscences describing his service in the navy during the Civil War under the title 'Service Afloat'. However, this work is primarily looked at as a defense of his actions during the Confederacy's inevitable loss, or 'Lost Cause'.

According to Nevins, this work is

"a first-hand, subjective account by the captain of the CSS Sumpter and the Alabama, interestingly written."

Description:
1682 Bible Catechism Whole Duty of Man Richard Allestree Anglican England RARE

'The Whole Duty of Man' is a Protestant devotional work written by Richard Allestree who prescribes various devotional exercises for a healthy Christian life. According to Bickersteth,
"'The Whole Duty of Man' was a practical book to counteract the Antinomians and contains an impressive introduction on the care of the soul, the devotional part is full and useful, and it has a good statement of relative duties, but it does not exhibit prominently the only principles and strength on which man can perform them." (Lowndes 1229)
This 1682 catechism was written as a commentary on Allestree's 'Duty of Man', designed to clarify and simplify his devotional exercises.
