Description:
[London?]: [s.n.], [1739?] Single bifolium, separated into two constituent leaves. [4]pp. pp.[2-3] blank. Docket title to p.[4]. Later coloured pencil shelf-mark to head of p.[1]. Three old horizontal folds, chipping to margins. A remarkably rare example of polemical commercial lobbying literature, issued in an attempt to influence opinion in the run up to debates and divisions in the House of Commons, regarding potential harm to curriers and leather dealers if they are prohibited from selling hides and skins in pieces, at a cheaper price, to manufacturers of saddles, and that 'in Case of such Restraint, the Army could not, upon any emergency, be supplied either so Cheap, or with such Expedition as they now can be.' ESTC records copies at two locations in the British Isles (Senate House and NA), and none elsewhere. ESTC N41257..

Description:
Norwich: Printed by C. Berry, Jun., [1811]. viii, 158pp. With a half-title. Uncut in original publisher's drab paper boards, printed paper lettering-piece. Extremities rubbed and marked, some chipping to lettering-piece. Recent bookplate of R. C. Fiske to FEP, internally clean and crisp. The sole edition of a biography of East Anglian scholar, freethinker, and eccentric John Fransham (bap. 1730, d. 1810). Except for one brief period, Fransham lived continuously in or near Norwich, and spent much of his life in a state of extreme penury. He began acting as a preliminary tutor for the universities about 1750. Though he possessed little formal education he had an enquiring mind and devoted much of his time to intellectual pursuits. In philosophy he idolized David Hume, but developed strong Platonic leanings. He was critical of religion, instead taking a psychological interest in the earliest myths and legends which led to champion a polytheistic world- view. He published little, his Essay on the…

Description:
London: William Heinemann, [1939]. [8], 285pp, [1]. Original publisher's navy cloth, lettered in gilt, pictorial dustwrapper. Rubbed, a trifle cocked, dustwrapper chipped, several short tears, loss to lower panel. Decorated endpapers, scattered spotting. The first London edition of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's (1900-1944) highly-regarded memoir. Today predominantly remembered for his novella Le Petit Prince (1943), Saint-Exupéry made his name as an experienced and accomplished pioneer of aviation. The present work is primarily centred on an accident in 1935, in which the Frenchman narrowly escaped death after losing control of his aircraft and crashing in the Sahara Desert between Benghazi and Cairo. Saint-Exupéry and his navigator were left almost completely without sustenance and nearly died of thirst before their salvation came in the form of a wandering Bedouin. . First edition. 8vo.
