Description:
Edinburgh University Press, Edinburgh, first edition, 1971. Cloth, 4to, 29 cm,. xii, 245 pp, 18 plates. The main part of this book is a catalogue of a private library collected in the first quarter of the seventeenth century, and as such gives not only a picture of William Drummond as a man of cultivation, a good classical scholar and an unusually able linguist, but also a valuable insight into the literary taste of the period of Shakespeare and Jonson ; for Orummond cannot be regarded as eccentric or especially scholarly-indeed it is his position as being representative of the educated man of his day that makes the study of his books particularly valuable. Dr MacDonald has prefaced his catalogue, the result of acute deductive work in respect of the books which no longer exist, with a lengthy and pertinent discussion of Drummond's life and interests, and of the book-reading and book-buying habits of the educated society of the time as revealed in this important collection. Very Good in…

Description:
Macmillan, London, first edition, 1989. Cloth, 8vo, 24 cm,. viii, 239 pp, [16] pp of plates. On 27 May 1942 a Czech agent, part of a team of parachutists trained by SOE, threw a bomb at a passing Mercedes. His intended victim was Reinhard Heydrich, Himmler's deputy and one of the most powerful men in the Third Reich, reckoned to be the most likely eventual successor to Hitler. Eight days later Heydrich died in agony from his wounds. The assassination sent a shock wave through the Nazi leadership and provoked ferocious reprisals against Czechs and Jews. Of these the most notorious was the total obliteration of Lidice, a Czech village, and the massacre of its inhabitants. The parachutists who carried out the assassination hid from the fury of the Nazi search in the cellar of a Prague church. Finally betrayed, they were surrounded by hundreds of Gestapo and Czech police and in the final shoot-out they defended themselves until the end, each committing suicide with his last bullet. Based on…

The Bibliographical Society, London, first edition, 1952. Original holland-backed boards, small 4to,. 84 pp, 6 plates,. 109 entries. Still the standard bibliography of Hobbes. From a contemporary review: "Students and collectors of seventeenth-century Philosophy, long ruefully aware of countless unresolved difficulties concerning the issues and collation of many works of Hobbes, will warmly welcome this volume... [The authors] have aimed..at including all editions of Hobbes's works up to 1725 as well as collected editions since then, and all readily available translations up to 1700; but they have not recorded controversial works written against Hobbes unless he himself wrote an answer to them... All entries are set out with quasi-facsimile transcriptions and full collations, and each separate work is introduced by an excellent, but often tantalizingly short, descriptive note. An ex-library copy with an ink number on the spine, label on front pastedown endpaper, stamps on the title-page…

An unbroken run of the first 16 years of this semi-annual journal, from the first issue in 1989 to 2004. The Journal of the History of Collections is a scholarly journal "dedicated to the investigation and documentation of all aspects of collecting activity". The range of subject-matter treated in the Journal is wide, encompassing everything from the earliest universal collections to highly-specialized ones. Equally collections of all periods are covered from the Renaissance 'cabinets de curiosites' to 20th century collections; there have been occasional articles too on both medieval and Roman period collections. The approach is cross-disciplinary with the object of making papers in what may be specialized subjects accessible to a broad readership of non-specialists : 'it is well known that the mechanisms of…
