Description:
Gilbert Henry Wintle was the author of a variety fof books from "Beekeeping" in 1899, History of South Africa 1900, Strange Parters and Gentleman Tramp around 1907-1909. He also wrote books on Ovid and Latin Texts. Apart from the Latin texts, few copies have survived. It was pubblished in Toronto, but only one Canadian Library (British Columbia) has a copy, and I bought mine in B.C. Odd! Is there a connection. Anyway, it is not only collectible, it is highly readable. The tramp was a rascal

Description:
Gallus Or Roman Scenes of the Times of Augustus London: John W. Parker 1844. FIRST ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDITION. Translated from the German of Professor Becker by Frederick Metcalfe, St John's College, Cambridge. lightly-scuffed book in magnificent condition, probably never read as marbled page edges sit perfectly flat. Inside front boards are the bookplate of Dr. Charles Collier F.R.S. and a prize plaque awarding the book (at Harrow School) to Robert Collier for excellence in History and Latin verse, dated 1846. Dr Charles Collier (c1784-1870) was a Fellow of The Royal Society. I assume from the date 1846 that Robert was the son of Charles. Eminently collectible. This is something I have not seen before: the date is on the tirle page in Roman numerals and ALSO at bottom of leather spine in our Arabic numerals. Spine is highly decorative with 7 gilt raised bands, 5 of the spaces between band with decorative incuse blind pattern, and title in 6th panel. Marbled page edges are like new.…
