Description:
1778. Glasgow. A Foulis. 1778. Royal 4to., in contemporary full mottled calf, boards with elaborate gilt panels with corner tools, rebacked preserving original rich gilt spine, contrasting red leather label, all edges gilt. Aquatint portrait frontispiece and 12 aquatint plates engraved by David Allan, pp.18 of engraved music at rear. Corners rubbed, a little light browning to margins of plates, neat ink name dated 1848, generally a very good crisp copy. "Ramsay’s play, The Gentle Shepherd first published in 1725, enjoyed massive success both in his lifetime and for several years after his death. This Scots pastoral drama is an entirely original creation, which develops the pastoral genre and fixes it within a Scottish context. Although the play belongs to the sentimental age, its value remains to this day: Ramsay presents his audience with skilful sections of lyric and song, and daringly attempts to revive the Scottish theatrical tradition under the strict codes of Calvinism.

Description:
Copenhagen, Gyldendal, 1913. 8vo. Original green gloth, lettered in gilt, illustrated in black; pp. [iv], 304, highly illustrated throughout after photographs and drawings, large folding lithographic map (80 x 78 cm), printed in four colours in rear pocket; head and tail of spine a little rubbed, very light toning internally; a very good and clean copy. First edition. This very rare work is a fascinating first-hand account of Eastern Arabia, Basrah and Kuwait in 1912, at a time when Saudi rule was in its infancy. The first edition, in Danish is rare. A first English edition was printed during WWI, in 1916 in Cairo by the Arab Bureau with a print run of only 100 copies and is virtually unobtainable. It was published again in English in 1969 and this edition is becoming rare as well. Gerald de Gaury, who re-translated the book into English in 1968 states in the preface that the original Danish edition is 'now becoming rare' (p. vii).
