Another book that fully meets the criterion for RARE. None offered on the Net in the last ten years. Worldcat shows ony three lbraries in the world holding a copy: UK. USA (Colorado) and Australia. None on Canad and none in Indian libraries although I do not know how thorough Worlfcad is in searching libraries in India. 103 pages Lots of photographs. The book is about the mission to the ladies on India, and in particulare the medical work done by the mission. Nice old photos 19th century India and interesting look at the plight of the poorer class in India.

Kingsley, Charles Limits of Exact Science Cambridge and London: MacMillan 1860. First edition. 72pp plus 24pp ads. No dust jacket. In excellent solid condition with some spine and edge staining. Original beige boards. First edition First print. Kingsley gave this inaugural lecture on the occasion of being made Professor of Modern History at Cambridge, The publisher's list at rear of 24 ads is all there and is dated 23.11.60. Note that not all editions contain that list. Price was two shillings in 1860). To my mind, given that book almost 150 years old, it should be graded "Fine for Age. " But I am not qualified in grading Good in modern terms. In excellent solid condition with some spine and edge staining . Shadow on scan is from scanner

Description:
John D. Cushing (Ed) Laws of the Province of Maryland Wlimington Delaware: Michael Glazier 1978. Would it were the 1718 original, but it ain't. It is a facsimile of the 1718 publication, prelims plus 220 pages Book is like new in fawn-colored cloth, but on the top edges are a few coffee spots. I show the scan. They are not on the pages.
The sheer arrogance of the English kings and queens never ceases to amaze me. Charles 1 granted Lord Baltimore, an Irish peer a vast stretch of country owned by and occupied by a race of people foreign to him. And had the territory named after his queen. Nevertheless, this book is seldom offered for sale. It must exist in quantity, but I suppose nobody wants to sell their copy.
