20974Dun Eaglais Kippen Stirlingshire Scotland. 14 February 1947. Dempsey's note dated 10 August 1960. Dempsey's obituary in The Times explains how 'In April 1945 he was appointed Brigadier I/C Administration East Africa Command' holding the position into the following year and retiring in December 1947 on account of ill health. For a full account of Dempsey's military career see his entry in Catholic Who's Who vol.35 1952. In an eight-line Autograph Note Signed at the end of Anderson's letter Dempsey states that Anderson 'had been my personal & immediate superior as G.O.C. in C. East Africa Command when I was his Brigadier I/C Administration. He became Governor of Gibraltar and has been dead some time now having himself got a coronary thrombosis.' The present item is an Air Mail letter. 4pp. 12mo. Bifolium on blue paper. Addressed to 'Brigadier M. C. sic Demspey CBE No 87 General Hospital Nairobi Kenya Colony'. Anderson has confused Dempsey with the more illustrious General Sir Miles Christopher Dempsey 1896-1969.Anderson begins by condoling with Dempsey on 'a return of your thrombosis': 'it is no use going on kicking against the pricks and you must I fear face the need for a quiet life'. He next describes the weather in Scotland 'our 21st day of hard frost & snow'. A report on his wife's trip to the metropolis turns into an attack on the postwar Labour government: 'Kathleen is in London trying to buy clothes by candle & torch light and shivering in her hotel. I fear this country is in for a very severe crisis made worse by the theories & idealisms of the Govt which fiddles while Rome does not burn.' After more domestic news he reports: 'I saw Brown and also Fisher while in London at the end of last month. The War Office continues hopeful about all their grand schemes for Kenya: but it will be a miracle if they get 1/10th of the present estimated cost. And on the same lines I dont see how the country can carry a large Army and 18 months conscription. We are so hard pressed economically that I think it is fanstastic to try & carry such a Burden.' Dun Eaglais, Kippen, Stirlingshire [Scotland]. 14 February 1947. Dempsey's note dated 10 August 1960. hardcover

112681A Paris aux dépens de l'Autheur chez lequel on les vend rue Princesse au Fauxbourg sainct Germain 1643. 3 feuillets. 56 pages. 225x16 Cm. Cartonnage muet de l'époque titre inscrit à la plume sur le plat supérieur. Coins et coiffes émoussés. Dos renforcé. Edition Originale de la plus grande rareté de ce livre imprimé à petit nombre et distribué chez l'auteur. Il est resté pratiquement inconnu au point que les biographes de son auteur le mentionnent la plupart du temps sous un titre erroné celui de "Traité de la Géométrie". Le mot géodésie vient du mot grec geodaisia qui veut dire partage de la Terre. Ce sens remonte a l'antiquité en ancienne Egypte en particulier et s'applique aux travaux d'arpentage correspondant à la délimitation de parcelles cadastrales. Aujourd'hui le sens a évolué et la géodésie est la science de la mesure de la Terre. La géodésie s'intéresse à la forme et aux dimensions de la Terre à l'étude du champ de pesanteur terrestre et aux déformations de la croûte terrestre tectonique des plaques géodynamique. A Paris, aux dépens de l'Autheur chez lequel on les vend, rue Princesse au Fauxbourg sainct Germain, 1643. unknown

The wrapper comes together well though and presents better than it sounds. It is protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. An early work by Coward which sees him at his most frivolous stereotyping a number of characters including Julie de Poopinac Donna Isabella Angelica y Bananas and Sophie uncrowned Queen of Henry VIII . The work reconstructs the multi-coloured lives of those glorious flamboyant figures who flaunted and hurtled their way across the pages of History Coward writes in his introduction : Who are we to criticise these frail lovely yet withal earthly creatures he continues who are we to condemn their occasionally slightly irritating behaviour - who are we anyhow As one Goodreads reviewer writes the book is like listening to my uncle tell bad puns . This early work by Coward is seldom encountered with the wrapper in any condition. Not to be confused with the 'Popular Edition' which was published later in the same year and has a completely different wrapper design. More images available on request.
