AINSWORTH (William Harrison). The Miser's Daughter: A Tale. 20 engraved plates by George Cruikshank. First Edition. Three volumes. 8vo. [198 x 120 x 66 mm]. vii, [i], 296 pp; iv, 291 pp; iv, 311 pp. Bound c.1900 by L. Broca (signed on the front endleaves) in half red goatskin, marbled paper sides, the spines divided into six panels with gilt compartments, lettered in the second and third and dated at the foot, the others tooled with a rose and leaves on a dotted background, marbled endleaves, top edges gilt. (The paper sides slightly rubbed). [ebc2209]. London: [by T. C. Savill for] Cunningham and Mortimer, 1842. £750 A fine copy in a very handsome binding. Lucien Broca was a Frenchman who came to London to work for Antoine Chatelin, and from 1876 to 1889 he was in partnership with Simon Kaufmann. From 1890 he appears under his own name in Shaftesbury Avenue, and in 1901 he was at Percy Street, calling himself an "Art Binder". He was recognised as a superb trade finisher, and Marianne Tidcombe has confirmed that he actually executed most of Sarah Prideaux's bindings from the mid-1890s. Circular leather bookplate of Alexander Lawson Duncan of Jordanstone House, Perthshire. STENCILLED CALF 2. AKENSIDE (Mark). The Poems. Fine mezzotint frontispiece portrait by Fisher after Pond. First Collected Edition. 4to. [300 x 240 x 42 mm]. xi, [i], 380 pp. Bound in contemporary stained calf, the covers with a border of a single gilt fillet and a decorative pattern created by the application of a stencil during the staining process. The spine divided into six panels, lettered in the second on a red goatskin label, the others tooled in gilt and including a large triple-headed flower tool, edges of the boards tooled with a gilt roll, green edges, comb- marbled endleaves. (Joints cracked at head and foot and rubbed, corners and headcaps worn, the tooling on the spine partly corroded). [ebc668]. London: by W. Bowyer and J. Nichols, and sold by J. Dodsley 1772. £400 With the first blank leaf (with off-setting from the final page of the copy placed on top of it in the printing house). A very good clean copy of this handsome and typographically admirable edition, with the fine mezzotint portrait. A London 8vo edition and a Dublin 12mo edition were published in the same year. The binding is highly unusual, though not unique. The covers have been stained a dark brown, with a stencil applied to the borders to create a contrasting lighter- coloured decorative knot-work pattern. The same method, and apparently the same stencil, was also used on a set of the Baskerville Addison (1761) last seen in the basement of Maggs Bros. Both examples have green edges - a characteristic feature of Irish bindings, though both this volume and the Addison have English provenances. Early Joliffe bookplate, and by descent to Lord Hylton of Ammerdown House, Somerset. BOUND BY W.H. SMITH & SON 3. ARNOLD (Matthew). Poems. The First Volume: Early Poems, Narrative Poems, and Sonnets. [The Second Volume: Lyric, Dramatic, and Elegiac Poems]. New and Complete Edition. Two volumes. 8vo. [192 x 125 x 67 mm]. vii, [i], 272 pp; vii, [i], 312 pp. Bound c.1905 by the W.H. Smith and Son bindery (signed with their blind "WHS" stamp on the rear pastedowns) in half blue goatskin, blue cloth sides. The spines divided into five panels, the bands flanked with blind fillets extending onto the sides, and with gilt dots at the terminating points, lettered in the second and third panels and dated at the foot, blue endleaves, top edges gilt. (Spines slightly faded). [ebc3344]. London: Macmillan and Co, 1877. £200 Endleaves spotted. These two volumes were bound for Anthony Dyke Acland and have his bookplate and his name written in pencil on the verso of the title (probably by the binder). In 1885 he married the Hon. Beatrice Danvers Smith, daughter of W.H. Smith. They lived at Feniton Court, near Honiton in Devon, and the library contained a number of volumes bound by W. H. Smith and Son. The bindery was managed by Douglas Cockerell from 1905 until 1914, and bindings signed with the "WHS" stamp, as here, are said to be specially designed by him. BOUND BY WARE OF BRISTOL 4. ARNOLD (Sir Edwin). The Light of Asia or Great Renunciation (Mahabhinishkramana). Being the Life and Teaching of Gautama Prince of India and Founder of Buddhism (as told in verse by an Indian Buddhist). Etched frontispiece portrait and illustrations in the text. Small 4to. [189 x 145 x 32 mm]. 240pp. Contemporary binding by Ware of Bristol (signed in gilt on the rear turn-in) of blue goatskin, the front cover tooled in gilt with a fillet border enclosing an all-over design of rambling leafy stems with 17 red and brown goatskin onlaid flower heads, with the title lettered at the centre. The rear cover tooled in gilt with a fillet border enclosing six tall leafy stems with red and brown onlaid flower heads, in a bed of dots. Smooth spine lettered in gilt above an arrangement of stems and five onlaid flower heads, the turn-ins and matching inside joints tooled with gilt fillet and lotus tools, blue silk doublures and endleaves, top edge gilt, the others untrimmed. (Upper joint a little worn, some minor rubbing and fading and one flower head on the lower cover scuffed). [ebc3343]. London: [by Ballantyne, Hanson and Co. for] Trubner & Co, 1889. £600 Ware of Bristol does not feature on The British Library Database of Bookbindings or in Spawn and Kinsella Ticketed Bookbindings from Nineteenth Century Britain, or even in the John Collins collection of Particular Bindings (George Bayntun catalogue 14, available on request). This is quite an ambitious binding for an obscure provincial firm. BOUND IN SIX DIFFERENT WOODS FROM NEW ZEALAND 5. ARNOLD (Sir Edwin). The Light of the World or the Great Consummation. Second Edition. 8vo. [198 x 133 x 37 mm]. Bound in bevelled boards composed of five different woods with the initials "T.K" at the centre of the front cover, leather joints and rounded spine made of a sixth variety of wood, marbled endleaves, gilt edges. [ebc1370]. London: Longman, Green, and Co, 1891. £350 An unusual binding made of six different woods from New Zealand. There is a manuscript note on the front endleaf: "This book is bound as follows: The light coloured frame is Kauri Pine. The Rounded Back is Tartara (N.Z. Oak). The Dark Inlay is Bog Manuka. The Pale Yellow is Kahikatea (White Pine). The narrow Mottled Band is Rewa-Rewa (Honeysuckle). The large piece upon which the letters are placed is Konini (Fuschia Tree)". Large pictorial bookplate on the front pastedown. BOUND BY THE ASHLEY BINDERY 6. AUDEN (W.H.) Poems. First Edition. Small 4to. [205 x 157 x 15 mm]. 79pp. Bound in 1972 by the Ashley Bindery (signed with initials A.B. in blind on the rear turn-in) in reddish-brown goatskin, the covers tooled with a blind fillet to a grid pattern, each compartment containing five lines, alternating between vertical and horizontal. Smooth spine lettered vertically in gilt and with blind horizontal lines, plain endleaves and edges, original wrappers bound in. [ebc3180]. London: Faber & Faber Limited, 1930. £500 Auden's first regularly published work; limited to 1,000 copies. In a neat and attractive binding by Leo Lewis who ran the Ashley Bindery at Croscombe in Somerset. DOUBLE FORE-EDGE PAINTING 7. AUGUSTINE (Saint). The Confessions. Revised from a former Translation, by the Rev. E. B. Pusey, D.D. With Illustrations from S. Augustine himself. 8vo. [221 x 136 x 26 mm]. xl, 363 pp. Contemporary binding of purple goatskin, the covers with a gilt border composed of double and single fillets with circular corners incorporating small arrows and stars. The spine divided into six panels with gilt compartments, lettered in the second and at the foot, the others with a circle at the centre and pointillé surrounds, the edges of the boards and turn-ins tooled with gilt fillets, yellow endleaves, gilt edges, the fore- edge with a double painting of the Quadrant, Regent Street and the west side of Regent Street. [ebc3419]. Oxford: [by Baxter for] John Henry Parker, 1843. £750 The illustrations "from S. Augustine himself" are in the form of words rather than pictures. A very good copy in a neat binding. An entry from a Frank Hammond catalogue of 1956 has been pasted inside the rear cover. The fore-edge paintings are now over 50 years old and are neat examples of their type. I am not sure what Regent Street has to so with Saint Augustine and his Confessions, although shopping may come into it. Bookplate of Charles Arthur Wynne Finch, dated 1878. BOUND BY DOUGLAS COCKERELL IN 1899 8. AURELIUS ANTONINUS (Marcus). The XII Books of Marcus Aurelius Antoninus The Emperor. Translated by George Long. Photographic frontispiece portrait, title printed in black and red. Small 4to. [230 x 166 x 23 mm]. [2]ff, 202, [2] pp. Bound by Douglas Cockerell in 1899 (signed with his monogram and dated in gilt on the rear turn-in) in green goatskin, the covers with a gilt single fillet border and with blind tooled leaves extending from each band. The spine divided into six panels with gilt compartments, lettered in the second and dated at the foot, the others with lozenge shaped centres containing leaves and dots, and with dots in each corner, the edges of the boards, turn-ins and matching inside joints tooled with gilt fillets, blue endleaves, gilt edges.

  • Views Before That August Body and the Parliament Which Was Back of It, in Hopes That He Might Inñuence the Final Form of the Church Discipline
    1936.] Report of the Librarian 153 REPORT OF THE LIBRARIAN THE USE OF THE LIBRARY TN accepting membership in the American Anti- -•• quarian Society in 1915, the Right Honorable Sir George Otto Trevelyan, distinguished historian of the American Revolution, said: "Recognition from such a body as the American Antiquarian Society has for me a value of a rare character. I shall never see Worcester or enter the Library in which henceforth I should have the privilege of reading but I accept the position of membership with gratitude and pleasure." Many other English and Continental scholars have been more fortunate than Sir George and have spent happy and profitable hours within these walls. This summer as never before our reading room has, at times, been thronged with historical students occupying every available seat. The follower of the curious hobby of license plate hunting would have been richly re- warded by an examination of the cars parked about our building, for he would have found plates from almost every state in the union in the course of a few midsummer visits. As soon as the last college class has been dismissed many a historian packs his travelling bag and the notes for his forthcoming volume and turns the prow of his trusty car toward Worcester. The subjects of their inquiries are of infinite variety and all of their problems are interesting. A scholar from the University of Kansas wished to know when aerial photography began and was delighted when we produced a balloon photograph of Boston taken, believe it or not, in 1860.

His death in that conflict meant that this was a career that lasted barely twenty years; however it comprised a large range of creative endeavours. Although all these facets of Whistler’s career are touched upon, the main focus is on his work in murals and the fields of advertising and commercial design. The thesis goes beyond the remit of a purely biographical stance and places Whistler’s career in context by looking at the contemporary art world in which he worked, and the private, commercial and public commissions he secured. In doing so, it aims to provide a more comprehensive account of Whistler’s achievement than has been afforded in any of the existing literature or biographies. This deeper examination of the artist’s practice has been made possible by considerable amounts of new factual information derived from the Whistler Archive and other archival sources.

Journal May-June 1968 The Conmonw'ealth Aircraft Corporation CA-15« By David Eyre The CA-15 vms the second single seat fighter designed and built in Australia for service in the Pacific Theatre of Operations^ the Boomerang being the firsto During the war^ a liAAF specification was in existence for a long-range^ medium altitude^ high performance fighter^ and the original intention was to develop the Boomerang by fitting a higher powered engine than the 1,200 hp Pratt and Whitney. However it was found that the basic. Boomerang fuselage would not take the extra weight of the larger engine without a considerable amount of redesign, and so this idea was discarded. A number of conferences were held between officials of the R/\iiF and CAC daring 1943 and 1944, and in 1945 the design of the CA=-15 was accepted to fill the above mentioned specificatioiio Work on the prototype coiumenced that year and the aircraft was rolled out earl57' in 1946, taxying tests commencing on February 12tho When seen at a distance, the average spotter might have confused the GA-^15 with the North American Mustang, wiiich was being built under licence by CAC as the CA-17. Compared with the Mustang, the GA-15 had a smaller wing span and increased lengtho One of the most obvious differences was the nine degree dihedral setting of the tailplane, and another being the airscoop for the chest position radiator.

  • Epilogue and Acknowledgments
    Epilogue and Acknowledgments On the afternoon of March 10, 2004, I posted a draft of the Introduction and Chapter 1 of this book on my weblog. I asked readers to let me know, preferably by email, if they noticed any factual errors. I also asked whether I’d missed any crucial top- ics, or whether they knew of some perfect anecdote that abso- lutely had to be included. They responded. One of the first emails alerted me to an incorrect web address, which I fixed immediately. Another pointed out a mistake in a section about open source software. Others suggested I amplify certain points, or asked why I discussed a particular topic, or that I slow down the narrative. The comments section of my weblog became a discussion about the book. The ideas I’ve been discussing in We the Media became inte- gral to the reporting and writing of the book itself. When I started, I didn’t really know what to expect. But I can say now, without any fear of contradiction, that this process has worked. Thank you, all. outline and ideas My version of open source journalism got off to a rocky start. In the early spring of 2003, I posted an outline of the book and invited comments by email. My inbox overflowed. 243 we the media Then a small disaster hit. I’d moved all the suggestions into a separate folder in my mailbox, but several months later, when I looked for them, they were gone. Vanished. Disappeared. I still don’t know if this was my doing or my Internet service pro- vider’s.
