193220336New York: Horace Liveright Inc. Very Good in Very Good dj. c.1932. First American Edition. Hardcover. spine just a bit turned small dent in top edge of front cover minor fraying at spine ends; jacket bright and attractive in spite of a bit of irregular fading along the spine and a touch of creasing at top of spine. The first novel by this English journalist and short-story writer a rather self-consciously "madcap" satire: the jacket blurb promises "amazing swoops of cuckoo fun and general insanities and at the same time grand satire and a healthy if absurd romance." The wackiness centers around the Cadwallows who in addition to being "one of the noblest and nuttiest families in England" also happen to be teetering on the brink of impoverishment. Potential salvation from their financial plight arrives in the person of Miss Wilhelmina Harkaway known as "Bill" a nine-foot-tall giantess who has been brought from Australia by the family's youngest son. She is readily adopted by the Cadwallow clan and with the patronage of a wealthy and even more eccentric friend a scheme is hatched to launch her on a prizefighting career and thereby reap a fortune. This isn't due to any discernible skill on her part in that regard or even to any inherent combativeness in her nature -- she's really quite a nice young lady of nineteen -- but simply because well it's that kind of book. Not surprisingly her enormous size and commensurate strength permits her to defeat all challengers and in no time at all she becomes a somewhat freakish celebrity even at one point going on an American tour. The human-freak-boxing angle is of interest as the author did a little amateur boxing himself as a young man and later garnered praise for a series of short fantasy stories about a "dwarf surrealist boxer" named Engelbrecht.

1757027964London: Printed and Sold By Luke Hinde 1757. Octavo. vi 236 pages. The remarkable story of an English boy raised in a Shepherd's home by a Quaker father who died when he was 12 leaving his mother to manage the farm with its sheep. The boy had an aversion to the Quakers because of their strict religious ways. He became converted to the Quaker faith at age 16 and became a well known preacher. He visited America to expand the faith among the Friends from Virginia to New York. He spent two years in the early 18th century preaching and debating with Baptists Episcopalians and others. He jointed with William Penn as they told the Indians about God the great Father. When asked about taxes that might be used to support the military he argued that in America where already there was more freedom than in England there was more of an obligation to avoid cooperating with anything that involved making war. The names John Richardson and Nathaniel Richardson are on the front pastedown and typical of late 18th century writing but after the death of the author. The front board is nearly detached.
