(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. 2 [HARLAY-CHANVALLON, Francois de] Archbishop of Paris. The Condemnation of Monsieur Du Pin his History of Ecclesiastical Authors.... As also his own Retraction.

Book label and pencilled signature of the Scots antiquary 'D[avid] Laing' & the 1875 woodcut ex libris of Glaswegian lawyer, antiquary & bibliophile, David Murray; two old bookseller's descriptions pasted to fly-leaf. Sempill's 'clever satirical attack, outrageously partisan in tone, against the church of 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. 5 WILLIAM III.

7 ARISTOTLE. [pseud. William SALMON?] The Works of Aristotle, The Famous Philosopher. In Four Parts... A New and Improved Edition. Printed [by W. Sears] for Miller, Law and Carter, [1820s] £45 12mo., pp.300; frontispiece & several woodcut illustrations; two page corners singed just clipping one letter of text, otherwise a remarkably good copy of a book often read to death; contemporary (publishers'?) 'tree' sheep, ruled in gold on backstrip. Comprises: His Complete Master Piece... to which is added The Family Physician; His Experienced Midwife; His Book of Problems (concerning) Man's Body; His Last Legacy. 8 BECKFORD. STORER, James.

Clarke...[& others] 1812. £350 FIRST 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 marbled boards, rebacked in tan calf. 9 BERKELEY, George.

Printed for William Williamson, Dublin, 1757. £75 Pp.(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. £120 Pp.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. £950 FIRST 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 the Sublime and Beautiful. The Fourth Edition. With an introductory Discourse concerning Taste, and several other Additiona. for R. and J. Dodsley, 1764 £220 Pp.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. £55 FIRST 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 Rules for the Exercise of that Pleasant Art... The Second Edition, Corrected. A. Millar, 1757. £165 Pp.(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. £35 Pp.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 III surnamed Canmore, to the Accession of Robert I. Printed by Balfour & Smellie for J. Murray, Edinburgh, 1776. £65 FIRST 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 two volumes. Henry Colburn, 1829 £320 FIRST EDITION, 2vol., pp.xvi,244; viii,266; large folding engraved map of 'Greece & part of Turkey', aquatint plate of the windmills at Syra by Fred. Catherwood, and several vignettes; slight browning but a nice set in contemporary half rose calf (faded to tan); double morocco labels, 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. 18 FIELDING, John. Fielding's New Peerage of England Scotland & Ireland..

A Collection of Historical and Literary Anecdotes, Memoirs, Poetical Fragments, Bon-Mots, etc. Third Edition. Sold at Galignani's English... Library, Paris, 1817. £55 24mo. (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, Edinburgh, 1823. £85 FIRST EDITION, 3vol., pp.(2)308; (2)324; (2)323; tear in one leaf repaired without loss; a sound set bound without half-titles, neatly re-backed, morocco labels.

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 of Hafez: with an English Translation and Paraphrase. Chiefly from the Specimen Poesos Persicae of Baron Revizky... With historical and grammatical illustrations, and a complete analysis, for the assistance of those who wish to study the Persian Language. A new edition, revised, corrected, and enlarged, by S.

'A jog-trot satire on all kinds of authors and publications: science, politics, art, 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 United Kingdom of Great Britain & Ireland. Designed principally for the use of Artists. Simpkin & Marshall, [c1830] £85 FIRST EDITION, lg.4to., (320 x 260mm); 30 engraved plates including title, each with 12 heraldic figures; rather foxed throughout, first four leaves with water-staining & damage (largely confined to fore-edge), otherwise sound in decorated boards, rebacked in green cloth, morocco label, new endpapers.

An uncommon 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...'

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.

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.
