The address is then crossed out and changed in contemporary hand to "170/3 Piccadilly W.1" and the date "1926" is added by different hand. Hiram Walker started producing spirits in 1858 pioneering numerous distillation and manufacturing processes that are now industry standards. Harry Clifford Hatch 1884-1946 a Canadian businessman acquired Hiram Walker & Sons in 1926. He merged it with Gooderham & Worts of Toronto to form Hiram Walker Gooderham & Worts Ltd. one of the largest whisky distillers in the world. The Scotland subsidiaries distributed spirits to pubs all over England. Almost all of the 4-inch scale maps in this copy were used to meticulously mark the location of every single London establishment that was on the distribution list of the distillery. Each enterprise is identified by unique number in a very neat hand in black or red ink; there are probably more than a thousand such entries. Names of some establishments are added in pencil by a different hand. Extremely rare document of the time mapping London's pub sector and hotel and catering industry of the first half of the 20th Century. Y-1 <br/> <br/> London, Bacon, (1926). hardcover

From the "Golden Treasury" series. 210 x 133 mm. 8 1/4 x 5 1/4". xxiii 1 388 pp.Edited with notes and glossarial index by W. Aldis Wright M. A. Trinity College Cambridge. <br/> HANDSOME NAVY BLUE MOROCCO GILT BY RIVIERE AND SON stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with border composed of five plain rules and incorporating a scalloped corner configuration containing a pentagonal element raised bands spine intricately gilt in compartments outlined by plain and stippled rules enclosing an inner frame repeating the cover design and at the center an elaborate fleuron emanating from a floral tool and punctuated by many tiny dots turn-ins densely gilt maroon glazed endpapers top edge gilt other edges untrimmed. Engraved frontispiece in three states and the title page with the same image in a fourth tissue guard before title page. A Large Paper Copy. Spine just slightly and uniformly sunned toward blue-green title page with faint offsetting from tissue guard another page with a small area of darkening from laid-in piece of paper one leaf with two tiny marginal tears expertly repaired one page with trivial foxing but all of these imperfections insignificant and in general a very fine copy in a most attractive binding the text uniformly fresh bright and clean and the binding lustrous and virtually unworn.<br/> <br/> This is a special luxury copy of a late 19th century edition of Bacon's famous "Essays" first printed in 1597. As Oxford Companion indicates the text here comprises Bacon's "collections of reflections and generalizations and extracts from previous authors woven together . . . into counsels for the successful conduct of life and the management of men." Some of the essays "deal with questions of state policy . . . some with personal conduct . . . some on abstract subjects such as 'Truth' 'Death' and 'Unity' . . . and some reveal Bacon's delight in Nature such as the pleasant essay 'Of Gardens.'" Day says that "in Bacon's hand the essay is an impersonal gem of worldly wisdom" and most of the essays reflect an intention to provide "cold-blooded instruction on how to get ahead in life." In short incisive prose modeled after Tacitus "the aphoristic skill and wise experience of Bacon unite to form some of the most memorable and penetrating phrases in English." DNB indicates that this is an important edition pointing out "the accuracy of Wright's text and the concise learning of its notes." In very fine condition our volume gives special pleasure from the handsomely decorated Riviere binding to the high quality laid paper to the carefully printed text within enormous margins. <br /> <br /> Riviere is one of the foremost names in English binding partly because the firm did consistently fine work and partly because it was so long in business. Robert Riviere began as a bookseller and binder in Bath in 1829 then set up shop as a binder in London in 1840; in 1881 he took his grandson Percival Calkin into partnership at which time the firm became known as Riviere & Son and the bindery continued to do business until 1939.
