London, "Christian Age" Office, 1877. 8vo. Original red pictorial cloth with bevelled edges, all edges gilt; pp. 236, two wood-engraved portraits; apart from light spotting initially, and repair to lower hinge, a beautiful copy. 'Henson used the publication of Stowe’s books to agitate for change in the United States. He re-published his memoir and used the funds to purchase his brother’s freedom. He supported black families whose husbands and fathers went off to fight in the Civil War. He ran businesses in Canada to employ black refugees. In 1876, at age 87, Henson did a 100-plus city speaking tour of the United Kingdom to relieve himself of debts shouldered on behalf of the work at Dawn, and Queen Victoria invited him to Windsor Castle. Sixteen years after the Civil War ended, Rutherford B. Hayes entertained him at the White House' (The Story of Josiah Henson, the Real Inspiration for ‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’, in: Smithsonian Magazine, online). - We have only seen this printing, and…

1894. Boston, C.B. Webster, Publisher, [1894]. Oblong large 4to. Original green cloth with bevelled edges, illustrated and lettered in gilt, all eges gilt; pp. [vi], 237, 41 fine photogravure plates with tissue guards; cloth a little marked, otherwise very good. Very uncommon and beautiful first edition. 'Even at this early date Jones expressed concern at the rapid disappearance of our early houses. The primary value of his book lies in the absolutely superb photographs' (Charles Wood). T he first good photographic study of New England’s historic houses was Alvin Lincoln Jones’ Under Colonial Roofs which appeared in 1894. The pictures, which are of a high quality, show us many buildings that have since disappeared. The picture of the Paul Revere House, when compared to a modern view, gives us some idea of how drastic the 1907 restoration must have been. Jones’ picture leads me to conclude that it is very easy to over-restore a building. I wonder what he/she thought of the coincidental…

London, Cecil Palmer, [1930]. 8vo. Original publisher's cloth; pp. 173; cloth a little rubbed, front fly-leaf renewed, light spotting internally; from the George Goldsmith Memorial Library in Golders Green with their bookplate on front fly-leaf and library rules pasted inside front cover. This is the very rare first edition of this First World War diary kept by a progressive and feminist witer, who had been married to the tennis player and health guru Eustace Miles. 'I kept these personal War Records; otherwise they might never have been known, and certainly have been forgotten … And, if reading of these records of the agony of London during those terrible War days adds to the determination that the Great War shall be the Last War, then these records will not have been written in vain' (p. 11). Hallie Miles' string of atmospheric observations evoke the city and its people in an altered state, full of fear - and hope for a better world.
