TOTTLEBEN, Gottlob Curt Heinrich von. Memoires de la vie du Comte de Totleben contenant l'histoire de ses deux mairiages & ses autres avantures en Saxe & en Hollande, avec le precis de ses campagnes au service de S. M. Czarienne just jusqu a son emprisonment en 1761. Le tout suivi de son apologie & de ses reflexions politiques &c. Zaltbommel: Jean Guillaume Kanneman. 1762.

Two parts in one volume, small 8vo. Contemporary mottled calf, spine with raised bands, compartments richly decorated in gilt, red morocco lettering-piece; pp. 128; 136, two etched frontispieces in pagination, folding engraved battle plan at the end of the volume; light rubbing to extremities; bookplate of the Hungarian library in Hédervár, designed by the artist Aladar Richter in 1929; a very good copy of a scarce work.

According to the preface a substantially enlarged edition in the year of the first. Usually ascribed to the Dutch lawyer and professional writer Franciscus Lievens Kersteman, this anonymous publication tells the incredible story of the 18th-century German adventurer and soldier Gottlob Curt Heinrich von Tottleben, who when serving in Russia shot to fame for having taken Berlin for the Russian army in 1760 during the Seven Years War. Before that he had served in Saxony which he had to flee because of corruption. He served in various European armies, including with the Russian Army in Georgia. On the way through his tumultuous life are several marriages, a death sentence by Catherine the Great and her pardon.

Bound with at the end: HAREN, Onno Zwier. Memoire De Mr. O.Z. Van Haren, Concernant La Cause Celebre Entre Lui & Mrs. Et Mesmes. De Hogendorp Et Zandyk, Ses Beaux-Fils Et Ses Filles, au sujet de L'Attentat D'Inceste Don’t ils l'ont accusé. Leeuwarden: Aux depens de la compagnie. 1762.

Onno Zwier van Haren, a Frisian noble, writer and politician was accused by his son-in-law and future son-in-law of incestuous relations with two of his daughters. He was forced to sign a confession and leave the province of Holland. The scandal raged on with Van Haren retracting his confession, accusing his daughters of being very unattractive. The Sun would have loved it.

Provenance: In 1755 Hédervár Castle received Baroque additions commissioned by Mihály Viczay and housed a library of 15,000 volumes. His grandchild from his third marriage was Károly Khuen-Héderváry who later served as Prime Minister of Hungary twice. It was he who commissioned the bookplate.

For work or casual wear, this polo is a great choice.
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Port Stripe, Size: X-Large
I really like this polo. I've been wearing it once a week or every other week since November. Its very comfortable and breathable. This polo feels like it should last a while. The fit is good. I typcally wear XL and this XL fits great. I've pruchased it in both burgundy and black so far. I definitely recommend this shirt. For work or casual wear, this will look good.

Great value: These are my go-to work from home shirt
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Blue, Size: X-Large
I’ve been pleasantly surprised by these shirts and wear them weekly for Zoom calls, since I’m still working from home these days. I figured at the price point it was worth trying them out, and now I’ve bought several in different colors. They aren’t super soft, but they are comfy and look nice. I’m 6’1” ~220 pounds, and the XL slim fit still has plenty of room. I imagine the regular cut is incredibly boxy and oversized. The difference between polyester vs recycled polyester is inconsequential. I typically buy expensive golf shirts, and these definitely aren’t as nice. They are a fraction of the cost though and a great “beater” work shirt / hang out shirt. It’s nice wearing something that looks and feels decent, but if something happens to it, you can toss and it and pick up another for the cost of a chipotle burrito.

Great price, not great quality
Material Type: Recycled Polyester, Color: Black, Size: Small
Simple, straight forward all black polo. I am a size medium woman (with some room since I don't like form-fitting) and bought a men's small. Fits perfectly for my frame. Long enough to tuck in for my part-time extra weekend job uniform. Also suitable for the golf course. A little thin, and if you hold it up to light you can sort of see through it. *Not* flowy, soft and smooth fabric like a rash guard/sun shirt - more structured than that. But it's cool and does the job for the price under $10.
