1 [BRACCESCO, Giovanni] GEBER [Jabir ibn Hayyan] De Alchemia Dialogi II.

Quorum prior, Genuinam, libroru[m] Gebri sententiam, de industria ab authore celatam,

& figurato sermone involutam retegit, & certis argumentis probat. Alter Raimundi Lullii

Maioricani, Mysteria in lucem producit. Norimbergae apud Johan. Petreium, 1548.

£1,650First Latin Edition; 4to. (190 x 150mm), pp.(128), signed A-Q4 (Q4v blank); title lightly soiled,

intermittent light stain in lower gutter throughout, but generally well preserved in lightly crumpled

early vellum; twenty leaves of good writing-paper bound in at end with seven pages of early ms.

notes 'De Natura... Epistola quaedam Bernardi Germani...' & 'Fragmentum Bernardi Comitas [?]',

evidently by 'Francisco Billiod in constancis Vittoria' who has signed pastedown & head of title;

later(?) inscription on title, 'Ex Bibliotheca Joannis Boyum / Sinatoris Dolani 1617'. Later (18thC?)

book label of 'Dervieu, Libraire, rue du Caire... près la rue Saint-Denis; a Paris' with extensive ms

note in French of similar date regarding the authorship of these dialogues. The prefatory

'propositiones' are headed: Expositio librorum Gebri et Raimundi, ex Tuscanico idiomate traducta

... incerto authore. Dialogus primus, pp.(11-112), first appeared in Italian, Venice, 1544, as 'La

espositione di Geber'. Lignum Vitae (pp.113-127) was first published Rome, 1542, as 'Il legno della

vita'. These Latin versions by Guglielmo Grataroli were included in the translator's compilation

'Verae alchemiae ... doctrina certusque methodus', published in Basel, 1561. Whether a true

translation from an Arabic text subsequently lost, or a later summary of Arabic chemistry, 'The

works of Geber were the medieval alchemist's text-book and vade-mecum. They are very clear and

free from mystery... [& may] be truly regarded as the most important means by which Arabic

chemical knowledge became available to the alchemists of medieval Christendom.' F. Sherwood

Taylor, The Alchemists.

Rome', was first published for his son in 1642. Sanders printed a Glasgow edition in 1669 (Wing

S2495) but we can find no record of this later edition.

by Views, drawn and engraved by James Storer. W. Clarke...[& others] 1812. £350FIRST EDITION, Large Paper Copy, folio (330 x 230mm), pp.(2)24; extra-engraved pictorial title,

six engraved plates & vignette at end; faint staining across lower margins but a well preserved copy

of this deluxe edition on heavy wove paper of Storer's pictorial record of Wyatt & Beckford's string

& sealing-wax folly; the letterpress extracted from John Neale's Views of the Seats; contemporary

9 BERKELEY, George. Alciphron: or, The Minute Philosopher. In seven dialogues.Containing, An Apology for the Christian Religion, against those who are called

Free-Thinkers. Printed for William Williamson, Dublin, 1757. £75Pp.(12)370 + 'Just publish'd' advert. leaf at end, title verso, eccentrically, also lists 31 'Books

Published by Wm. Williamson'; woodcut vignette & head-piece; a good copy in contemporary calf

(worn but serviceable), re-backed with morocco label; ms. book-label of John Fricker. Written

during Berkeley's residence in Newport, Rhode Island, 1728-31, and clearly influenced by his

experience of the American scene.

10 BROOME, William. Poems on several occasions. The second edition, with large

alterations and additions. Printed for Henry Lintot, 1750. £120Pp.xiii(3)adverts.,248; engraved frontispiece by Vertue; woodcut initials and decorations; first &

final leaves a little browned, otherwise a good crisp copy in contemporary calf, neatly rebacked.

Despite the claim of the title, this is actually a re-issue with cancel title-page of the first edition of

1727 for which Lintot had paid Broome £35. Confusingly, an augmented second edition had

appeared in 1739. Broome's literary fame rests largely on the eight books of the Odyssey which he

had translated for Pope, earning Johnson's praise for his smooth versification. He fell out with Pope

over the £500 paid for his work & gained a place in the Dunciad for his pains.

11 [BURKE, Edmund.] A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of the

Sublime and Beautiful. for R. and J. Dodsley, 1757. £950FIRST EDITION, pp.viii(8)184; with the half-title; some spotting of first & final leaves and light

soiling of title & half-title but generally well preserved with large margins; contemporary calf,

morocco label & head of backstrip sometime expertly renewed, short split in upper hinge but

reinforced & secure; old ownership signatures of Mary Cecil & Anne Campbell. Burke's first work

of importance winning praise from Johnson, Hume & Reynolds, while Kant describes Burke as 'the

foremost author [in] the empirical exposition of aesthetic judgments'. 'His enduring achievement

was to have tackled a difficult subject in a fashion accessible to any educated reader.' DNB. Todd

5a, 500 copies printed.

12 [BURKE, Edmund.] A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of theSublime and Beautiful. The Fourth Edition. With an introductory Discourse concerning

Taste, and several other Additiona. for R. and J. Dodsley, 1764 £220Pp.ix(7)342; title lightly browned, otherwise a very nice large copy in contemporary full calf, old

inked titling on two sections of backstrip; contemporary inscription from 'John Curling to Captn.

Wm. Curling' at head of title. [Captain William Curling died in 1788 and is buried in the Church of

St. Matthew, Bethnal Green.]

13 BYRON, Lord George Gordon. Werner, a tragedy. John Murray, 1823. £55FIRST EDITION, second issue; pp.viii,188; slight browning but a good copy with the half-title in

later half calf; hinges worn but serviceable. Originally intended to be issued with 'Heaven & Earth, a

drama', this second issue adds 'The End' to the final page.

14 [COLLIER, Jane] An Essay on the Art of ingeniously Tormenting; with Proper Rulesfor the Exercise of that Pleasant Art... The Second Edition, Corrected. A. Millar, 1757.

£165Pp.(2)iv,234; engraved frontispiece; title slightly age-browned but a good copy in contemporary

calf, extremities worn but sound, neatly rebacked with morocco label. Arguably the first extended

prose satire by an English woman, this wicked pastiche of 18thC. courtesy books takes the form of

a mock manual of advice which instructs the reader in the arts of tormenting. Collier offers advice

on tormenting servants, humble companions and spouses, and on the education of one's children to

be a torment to others. Written in the satirical tradition of Swift's Modest Proposal and doubtless an

influence on the young Jane Austen, Collier's Essay first appeared in 1753. Two further editions

appeared fifty years later. The author was the daughter of Arthur Collier, the metaphysician. Heltzel,

Newberry Library Courtesy Books, 391.

15 CRABBE, George. Poems. Third Edition. Printed for J. Hatchard, 1808. £35Pp.xxvii,258 + advert. leaf; 16pp. Longman's catalogue for June 1st, 1808, inserted at end;

occasional browning but a good uncut copy with the half-title in original boards, backstrip

sometime crudely reinforced with paper strip, front free endpaper removed. First published the

previous year, this edition was based on the extensively revised second edition which appeared in

August, 1808. Bareham & Gatrell A9.

16 DALRYMPLE, Sir David. Annals of Scotland from the Accession of Malcolm IIIsurnamed Canmore, to the Accession of Robert I. Printed by Balfour & Smellie for J.

Murray, Edinburgh, 1776. £65FIRST EDITION, 4to., pp.(8)401; some light spotting, worming in boards just invades first & final

leaves, but well preserved in contemporary tan calf, morocco label; hinges cracked but boards

firmly held on cords; ex libris David Murray of Ballymenoch. A second volume appeared in 1779.

17 EMERSON, James [later Sir James Emerson TENNENT] Letters from the Aegean. In

Turkey', aquatint plate of the windmills at Syra by Fred. Catherwood, and several vignettes; slight

marbled sides; extremities rubbed but sound & attractive. An enthusiast for Greek freedom,

Emerson met Byron and saw action in the War of Independence during his travels in 1824. Elected

to the Commons for Belfast in 1832, he supported Grey and then Peel before serving as civil

secretary to the colonial government of Ceylon from 1845-50. He contributed articles on Tarshish,

Trincomalie and Wine-making to the 8th. ed. of Encyclopaedia Britannica.

1898'.

19 GALIGNANI, Giovanni Antonio. A Collection of Historical and Literary Anecdotes,

Memoirs, Poetical Fragments, Bon-Mots, etc. Third Edition. Sold at Galignani's

English... Library, Paris, 1817. £5524mo. (128 x 78mm), pp.(2)2,234; occasional light soiling but a nice copy in contemporary tree

calf, morocco label; neat repair at head of backstrip. An anthology culled from the Galignani's

Monthly Repertory which first appeared in 1810, this 'third edition' is evidently a reissue of the

previous sheets with two new preliminay leaves. We can find no copy of any edition in Copac or the

British Library; Worldcat lists 1810 & 1818 'Fourth Edition' but not this.

20 [GALT, John.] Ringan Gilhaize; or The Covenanters. In three volumes. Oliver & Boyd,

motifs, accompanying text 'extracted from Bewick and Daniel' within engraved tablet & border;

slight edge browning but well preserved in original blue boards (surface-worn) engraved label

(browned), sometime neatly rebacked. A printed label on pastedown recalls the evening spent by

Scott with Gosden when the artist promised, 'if you will be at the expense of a set of silver buttons

for your shooting jacket', to engrave 'representations of the various animals of the chace', to rival the

buttons said to have been worn by Napoleon on St Helena.

22 HAFEZ, Shi ra zi. RICHARDSON, John. A Specimen of Persian Poetry; or Odes ofHafez: with an English Translation and Paraphrase. Chiefly from the Specimen Poesos

Persicae of Baron Revizky... With historical and grammatical illustrations, and a

otherwise a very good copy in later 19th half calf, top edge gilt, others uncut; a little rubbed &

novels, poems, and so forth. Among those mentioned are Coleridge, Wordsworth (who is

respectfully treated), Southey (who is not), [Monk] Lewis, Scott, and Byron.' Chew pp.17/18. The

extensive notes are perhaps more entertaining than the verse of the notorious Shakespeare forger.

His range is sufficient to require a 20pp. index.

25 KNIGHT, Frederick. Fredk. Knight's Crests of the Nobility & Gentry of the UnitedKingdom of Great Britain & Ireland. Designed principally for the use of Artists. Simpkin

& Marshall, [c1830] £85FIRST EDITION, lg.4to., (320 x 260mm); 30 engraved plates including title, each with 12 heraldic

excursion into prose by the Scottish poet whose popularity was well deserved according to Byron.

This second edition appeared in the same year as the first with amendments explained in an

epistolary epilogue...'You have viewed the whole work as a Novel, or modern romance, whereas, the

chief object is to illustrate the improprieties and absurdities of our modern education in this part of

the kingdom...' No copy in B.M.; NSTC lists 1st Edinburgh & New York editions only.

a. Literature & History

CLODD, Edward. Books from the library of Edward Clodd and his descendants ofStrafford House, Cragg Path, Aldeburgh. Including presentation copies of his books and

those of his friends, several with autograph letters and other association material.

Banker, writer and anthropologist, Edward Clodd cultivated a wide circle of literary and scientific

friends who periodically met at Whitsun gatherings at his home in Aldeburgh, Suffolk. An early

disciple of Darwin, Clodd knew Thomas Huxley and Herbert Spencer and wrote biographies of all

three. His 'Childhood of the World' and 'The Story of Creation: A Plain Account of Evolution',

helped to popularise their ideas. A keen folklorist, he was also chairman of the Rationalist Press

Association and a keen member of the Omar Khayyam Club, organising the transplanting of a rose

from Omar's tomb to FitzGerald's grave at Boulge for the Centenary meeting. Prominent among his

literary friends and correspondents were Grant Allen, Meredith, Hardy, Gissing, H.G. Wells,

Edward FitzGerald, Samuel Butler and Andrew Lang, while Edward Whymper, Laurence Gomme

and Holman Hunt would regularly join his literary gatherings at Strafford House.

152 [STRACHEY, Sir Edward?] An Account of Oxford In the Twenty-first Century.

Reprinted from an original m.s. in the possession of the Editor. Shrimpton and Son,

Oxford, 1878. £750FIRST EDITION, pp.12; original printed wrappers a little browned. A gently satirical account of the

university & its procedures with several acute predictions amongst the fantasy elements. Evidently

printed for the author, probably- Sir Edward Strachey, politician & landowner, (now perhaps best

remembered for his 1895 edition of Lear's Nonsense Songs & Stories), from whose library it came.

A second copy, also purchased by us from Strachey's library, is now in California, but we can trace

no other. 'I gave orders over-night to the sleep superintendent of the hotel at which I lodged in

London to have me moved by the noiseless lift into a train that would reach Oxford about 9.30. I

then took a sufficient quantity of compressed food to last me till the following evening, and retired

to rest... I engaged a closed windowless car...called a Ruskin [its] purpose being to enable people to

drive through the town without seeing its streets or buildings until they arrived at a certain bridge,

from whence...a first view of Oxford was best taken.... Looking over Magdalen Bridge the first

building on the right hand side is Magdalen College, with its tower and chapel. The tower is about a

hundred feet high, and well proportioned; but to my mind much injured in appearance by the

sewage arrangement at the top. The sewage from this end of town is by an entirely new process

pumped to the roof of the tower, and then by a series of evaporating pans given off in the form of

vapour...' More fun is had at the expense of University government, diurnal examinations, students'

dependence on alcohol, the luxurious life-style at All Souls, and 'Keble College (derivation of name

unknown), where farmers receive an agricultural education.'
