Hardcover / Original publishers quarter morocco with gilt lettering on spine and Emblemata on cover. Top edge gilt. Only some faint signs of dampstain to the outer margins of the illustrations. Otherwise in splendid condition with only minor signs of external wear. Presentation copy from Master Ernest Woodhame to R. Graham Carritt on the occasion of his admission to the Livery of the Company in June 1927. With a bookplate of Grocer's Hall to the front pastedown. The Worshipful Company of Grocers is one of the 110 Livery Companies of the City of London and ranks second in order of precedence. Established in 1345 the Grocers comprise one of London's Great Twelve City Livery Companies. The company was founded in the 14th century by members of the Guild of Pepperers which dates from 1180. The Company was responsible for maintaining standards for the purity of spices and for the setting of certain weights and measures. Its members included London's pharmacists who separated forming the Worshipful Society of Apothecaries in 1617. The guild was known as the Company of Grossers from 1373 until 1376 when it was renamed the Company of Grocers of London. In 1428 two years after building its first hall in Old Jewry the Company was granted a Royal Charter by King Henry VI of England. One of the Great Twelve City Livery Companies it ranks second in the Companies order of precedence after the Mercers' Company. It is said that the Grocers' Company used to be first in the order until Queen Elizabeth I as Honorary Master of the Mercers' Company found herself in procession after her coronation behind the Grocers' camel which was emitting unfortunate smells; as a result the Mercers were promoted. Today the Grocers' Company exists as a charitable constitutional and ceremonial institution which plays a significant role in the election of and supporting the Lord Mayor and the Sheriffs of the City of London. The Company's motto is "God Grant Grace". The Company also provides banqueting and conference facilities at Grocers' Hall situated in Prince's Street next to the Bank of England. The earliest known Grocers' Hall was in Poultry London then known as Conningshop-lane on account of the three conies or rabbits hanging over a poulterer's stall in the lane. It was built in 1428 on land once owned by Lord Fitzwalter and let out "for dinners funerals county feasts and weddings." The roof and woodwork of the hall were destroyed in the 1666 Great Fire and afterwards a new roof was erected on the old walls while Sir John Cutler 1st Baronet paid for a new parlour and dining room. The hall was again renovated in 1681 by the future Lord Mayor of London Sir John Moore. A new hall was built on the same site between 1798 and 1802 when part of the garden was sold to the Bank of England for the expansion of nearby Prince's Street. However frequent and extensive repairs were required due to defective foundations in the building which was replaced by a fourth hall completed in 1893 on Prince's Street. The hall survived the Blitz with only minor damage to its north wing but was almost completely destroyed by a fire in 1965 apparently caused by a lightbulb left on in the grand staircase beneath an oak lintel which smouldered and eventually caught fire. A fifth and final hall was constructed nearby in 1970 also on Prince's Street which remains the Grocers' home today. The present Master Grocer for 2018-19 is James Whitmore and the Company's Clerk is Brigadier Greville Bibby. The Company is responsible for the maintenance of Oundle School at Oundle Northamptonshire which uses the Grocers' crest of a camel as its school badge and of the Elms School in Colwall Herefordshire. Reed's School's Annual Foundation Appeal has been held at Grocers Hall for over fifty years. Additionally in 1876 the Company founded the Grocers' Company School in Hackney east of the City of London for the education of "sons of the middle classes". This was transferred into London County Council's control after that authority's formation in 1889 and changed its name to Hackney Downs School; it closed in 1995. The school depicted as its school badge a camel for the Lower School and a shield with cloves and the motto of the Grocers' Company for the Upper School; the Camel and Cloves are remembered to this day by old boys of the school through the Clove Club for former pupils. The Grocers' Company now maintains close links with and is the principal sponsor of Hackney's Mossbourne Academy renowned for its excellent educational standards. The Company is also affiliated to HMS Queen Elizabeth the first of the Royal Navy's new Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers and with the Coldstream Guards the British Army's oldest regular regiment. Eglinton Village in County Londonderry Northern Ireland was established by the Grocers' Guild in 1619 under the name of Muff; the local Castle Credit Union adopted the use of the Company's crest as has Eglinton Primary School. The church of St Mary the Virgin at Northill in Bedfordshire shows the Grocers' coat of arms on a stained glass window by John Oliver. The company commissioned the window in 1664. Wikipedia hardcover

Titlepage with a small faint stamp. <br/><br/><em>First appearance in English of Fresnel's famous memoir - the memoir of 1827 his so-called second memoir - in which some of his groundbreaking discoveries concerning light is stated. He applies the concept of transverse waves to double refraction and representing the final construction in the form of an equation of the fourth degree.In the paper Fresnel also explained the factthat in some cases of quartz the rotation of polarization is from left to right and in other cases from right to left. He proposed the term 'helical' to denote the property of rotating the plane of polarization exhibited by such bodies as quartz. The term 'natural rotatory polarisation' is however generally used.This memoir contains the first printing of three unpublished memoirs from 1821 and 1822 Mémoire sur la double refraction.Extrait Read 26.

When not editing that journal he created this acclaimed interlinear word by word translation of the New Testament. The Preface tells that this was originally issued in parts during 1863-1864 from his print shop in Geneva Illinois but no copies are known. This is the first New York edition of the completed work. After Wilson's death in 1900 the International Bible Students Association bought the rights to his work and began publishing this text in 1902.

1318Good. Deed dated 1311 England Yorkshire.65 x 130 mm Document on parchment in Anglicana cursiva in Latin. Single side. Concerning lands in Snaith and Cowick Conuryk Yorkshire granted to Alicia wife of Alex son of Juliane of Snaith to hold for the term of her natural life. A typical medieval life grant ensuring the wife’s maintenance and security in landholding.Historical CommentaryThis deed dated 1311 illustrates the way medieval Yorkshire families managed land and inheritance. The named places — Snaith and nearby Cowick — lay within the marshy lowlands of the Ouse an area controlled in part by Selby Abbey and later the Percy family. The arrangement records a life estate: Alicia wife of Alex whose mother Juliane is also identified as well as a Thomas and Jacob was given legal possession of these lands for her lifetime.Such life grants were common as a means of providing for women especially widows since they could enjoy the profits of the land but not alienate it permanently. After Alicia’s death the property would revert to Alexi or his heirs keeping the estate within the family line.The careful genealogical reference “son of Juliane of Snaith†reflects the importance of clear lineage in landholding and suggests this family held some local standing in the 14th century. unknown

Text: "It is delightful to read that August Manns conductor - see Wiki is still remembered. I was born within sight of the Crystal Palace and can even remember the great fire on one Sunday afternoon when part of the 'Tropical End' was burned to the ground. Those Courts with the fine casts of statues of all periods taught me how to look at their originals in many places. I wonder what has become of the two of the Venus de Milo; one with a hidden wedge of wood on her back and the other without that wedge which was only discovered when she was take to pieces & sent into the country for safety before the siege of Paris in 1869-70 It is not realised by the people who crowd orchestral concerts in these days that in the 'seventies there were very few - just the Philharmonic & the Crystal Palace until Richler Presumably Johann Baptist Isidor Richter came to London. At the Crystal Palace we heard many novelties and became familiar with much which is now old-fashioned. Sarasati played Tchaichovsky's sic Violin Concerto there during the life of the composer and we heard scraps of 'Parsifal'. How that choice murdered the Grail Music! Yours sincerely A.E.F. Horniman". Note: Many letters in the same auction lot as this were addressed to Marion Scott Marion Margaret Scott 16 July 1877 – 24 December 1953 was an English violinist musicologist writer music critic editor composer and poet. Perhaps she is the "Madam" of this letter. I [H?] Montagu Mansions, W.1., 12 June,1932. unknown
