Description:
12 mo. (7 x 4 1/2 inches) Glasgow, 1700. First Edition. (viii) 112 pages. Good condition: early nineteenth century half calf, marbled boards, considerable wear to hinges (front hinge split, but holding), title in gilt on spine.

Walter Herries (or Harris) was a pamphleteer who participated in the first Darien "adventure." Upon his return to England, he was offered inducements by English politicians to write a book that would ruin the reputation of the members of the Darien Company. His book was "Declared by a royal proclamation to be a 'false, scandalous, and traitorous libel'."

This book, attributed to Ridpath, is an answer to Herries's book, and an attack on English politicians. Ridpath was a Scottish journalist who wrote and supported Whig interests against the Tories.

Description:
New York: Kaufman & Greenberg, 1996. First Edition. Limited to 1000 copies. When Harper first published Houdini’s A Magician Among the Spirits, in 1924, they dramatically cut his 175,000 word manuscript down to 75,000 words. Very unhappy at the result, Houdini was working on this manuscript for a new expanded and revised edition at the time of his death. This large almost 500 page volume reproduces the full manuscript in facsimile. Fine in full black cloth with matching slipcase which has some rubbing and light wear.
