Amsterdam: Apud Abrahamum à Someren, 1692. 155 x 95 mm. (6 1/8 x 3 3/4"). 16 p.l., 419, [5] pp. VERY ATTRACTIVE 19TH CENTURY RED CRUSHED MOROCCO, GILT, BY ISIDORE SMEERS (stamp-signed on verso of front free endpaper) covers with French fillet frame, oblique fleurons at corners, raised bands, spine compartments with central fleuron, curling cornerpieces, gilt lettering, densely gilt turn-ins, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt over marbling.

Description:
London: Longmans, Green, and Co, 1881. New Edition. 202 x 140 mm. (8 x 5 3/8"). xxxix, [i], 191, [1] pp. HANDSOME BROWN MOROCCO BY RIVIERE (stamp-signed in ink on front free endpaper), gilt in a fanfare design, with a central medallion with gilt lettering, raised bands ruled in gilt, compartments with either a floral motif or gilt lettering, gilt turn-ins, all edges gilt. With 41 illustrations by J. R. Weguelin. Front free endpaper with ink signature of J. M. Bruce-Gardyne (1930-90), journalist and Conservative politician. ◆In very fine condition. In a beautifully gilt binding by Riviere, this is an excellent copy of historian, essayist, and poet Thomas Babington Macaulay's poetic retelling of stories from ancient Roman history. With this "Lays of Ancient Rome," originally published in 1842 and its many subsequent editions, Macaulay (1800-59) acted on the hypothesis that the early books of the ancient Roman historian Livy (64 or 59 B.C.-17 A.D.) were based upon long-lost oral poetry that had been… Read More

Description:
River House, Hammersmith: [Printed at the Chiswick Press for] Hammersmith Publishing Company, 1903. FIRST EDITION. 218 x 152 mm. (8 1/2 x 6"). 34 pp., [2] leaves. Original vellum backed tan paper boards, title printed in black on smooth spine, UNOPENED. With a typed letter laid in, SIGNED by Emery Walker on his firm's stationary (responding to a letter mistakenly delivered to him); front pastedown with remnants of glue from a removed bookplate. ◆Negligible light stain on lower cover, occasional dusting of light foxing internally (a little heavier on rear endpapers), otherwise an excellent copy. Attractively printed with deep impressions of the type on fine quality laid paper, the text here comes from an address delivered at the William Morris Labour Church in 1902, describing Morris' transition from Liberalism to Socialism. It was written by Morris' friend and biographer, John William Mackail (1859-1945), who was also a distinguished classical scholar, a poet, and a literary critic. As the… Read More

London: Printed and sold by T. Sowle, in White-Hart-Court Gracious-street, 1695. Second Edition. 147 x 93 mm. (5 3/4 x 3 5/8"). 8 p.l. (first blank), 299, [1] pp., [2] leaves (ads). 18th century sprinkled sheep, smooth spine divided into panels by gilt rules, red morocco label (repairs to joints and backstrip). Occasional early underlinings in red. Durling 11991 (1st ed,); Wing T-3198; ESTC R204413. ◆Shallow chip to head of spine, negligible loss of leather at tail of rear joint, extremities lightly rubbed, leaves trimmed a little close at head (but never touching text) and with faint browning to edges and other trivial imperfections (an occasional corner crease, a minor marginal smudge, a small rust spot), but a fine copy internally nevertheless, the text clean and fresh, and in a sound early binding that is not at all displeasing. First printed in 1689, this is a rare early attempt to explain the causes of psychosis, and a pioneering critique of the treatment of the mentally disturbed. Tryon… Read More

In a brown cloth chemise and a (slightly rubbed) matching calf-backed slipcase. With a folding frontispiece depicting a conjurer and his assistant onstage before an amazed crowd. Toole-Stott 724. ◆Small stains at top and bottom of spine, covers just slightly grubby, endpapers a bit browned, text with light, inoffensive foxing, but, for what it is, AN UNUSUALLY FINE COPY, the fragile binding entirely sound, and the text remarkably fresh and clean. Given the materials it was made from and the hard use it would have been expected to suffer, this is an exceptionally well-preserved copy of a popular handbook of conjuring tricks, an early American edition of a… Read More

Title page and front flyleaves with light dampstain to gutter and tail margin, a little foxing and faint browning, other imperfections, but the volume still generally clean and surprisingly fresh despite its cheap paper.Written by a Lutheran minister in… Read More
