Sand-grain grey cloth stamped in gilt and blind on the front cover; cloth flecked and a little stained; endpapers tanned; a couple of trifling marks internally but overall in very good condition. The scarce first edition of this important memoir of European settlement of the northern portions of Western Australia by pastoralist Alexander Robert Richardson 1847-1931. At the age of 18 he was one of a small group including his brother that left Portland in Victoria 'in the "Maria Ross" with 1600 ewes to exploit liberal land regulations in Western Australia. Despite opposition from Aborigines they established Pyramid station on the George River and "peacocked" runs on other North-West watercourses. After four years they divided their flocks; Richardson controlled 4500 sheep on Pyramid. His brother and Jack Edgar stayed with him and they bought out the other partners in 1869-72; A.R. Richardson & Co. spent the next few years improving Pyramid and acquiring runs on the Fortescue River. Finding prime land difficult to obtain Richardson agitated for lease surveys. <p>He continued to amass North-West leases and by 1879 held choice runs round the Yule De Grey and Oakover rivers. Severing his connexion with his brother and Edgar he formed the Murray Squatting Co. with W. and G.P. Paterson and H. Cornish. In 1880 they depastured stock illegally in the Kimberley seeking unsuccessfully to force the government to grant pre-emptive rights. Withstanding Aboriginal resistance the company then established Yeeda. Richardson visited the Kimberley when this was sold in 1883 and the company then paid a handsome price for the Fortescue River station Mardie. Richardson's interest in Mardie spanned three decades; with various partners he also invested in Oakabella Yarra Tallering and Boodarrie stations'. <p>Richardson was an MLC and an MLA from 1887 to 1897 and was appointed commissioner of crown lands in 1894. 'He was expected to succeed his long-standing friend Sir John Forrest as premier in 1897. However deploring his land policy Richardson resigned from parliament' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography' noting only the expanded 1914 edition which contains 122 pages but is more common in our experience.

1940148508Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures 1940. Vintage borderless photograph of Preston Sturges and Muriel Angelus on the set of the 1940 film. Mimeo snipe and "Paramount Photo by G.E. Richardson" stamp on verso. <br/><br/>Sturges had become a very successful Hollywood screenwriter by the late 1930s and with his screenplay for "The Biography of a Bum" wanted so much to direct the film that he offered to do the job for free. With very few exceptions notably Charlie Chaplin the notion of an established studio writer directing a film was nearly unheard of in Hollywood where writers were typically not even allowed on the set. Only the irresistible cheapness of Sturges' offer made it possible for the film to get made. <br/><br/>Over the six year period during which the script remained unproduced the title changed to "The Vagrant" then "Down with McGinty" then finally just prior to production to "The Great McGinty." It was not only a success but won Sturges an Oscar for Best Screenplay. More importantly he was allowed to continue as a writer-director with a magnificent career that included one classic after another including "Sullivan's Travels" "The Lady Eve" "Unfaithfully Yours" "The Palm Beach Story" and "Hail the Conquering Hero."<br/><br/>8 x 10 inches.

1903WRCAM55317N.p. but likely Chicago 1903. Two-color map on thin paper approximately 18 x 31 3/4 inches. Original folds. Slight separations at a few crossfolds few short closed marginal tears. Very good. An interesting promotional map produced by Chicago oil and real estate speculator Charles O. Richardson highlighting the oil- producing areas of Uinta County Wyoming at the dawn of the 20th century. Uinta County is located at the extreme southwestern corner of Wyoming on the border with Utah. At the time this map was produced crude oil was vitally important to both the Standard Oil Company and the Union Pacific Railroad - for the former to refine into gasoline and for the latter to lubricate locomotives. Both entities appear on the present map. <br> <br> The "Index" or key of the map references the first two wells of the Standard Oil Company other oil & gas wells the lands of the Standard Reserve Oil Company the lines for the Chicago Burlington & Quincy Railroad red dashed line the Union Pacific Railroad Main Line solid red line and certain county and other roads. On the far right portion of the sheet is a large schematic cross-section showing "the stratifications of oil sand encountered" in drilling the Union Pacific Oil Well. <br> <br> Oil was known to exist in Wyoming long before the present map since at least the 1830s when Captain Bonneville found an oil spring near Dallas Dome. Uinta County was known to have oil near Hilliard when Fort Bridger was established nearby in 1842 both appear on the present map. Yet this map is one of the earliest depictions of the industry on a promotional piece produced when the railroad the automobile and the motorcycle created explosive demand for oil. Overall the present map is testament to the importance of southwestern Wyoming in the history of the oil industry. Wyoming still ranks in the top ten among oil-producing states in the U.S. <br> <br> A rare map with only four copies reported in OCLC at Yale SMU's DeGolyer Library the University of Utah and the University of Wyoming.

174436015à Amsterdam: Aux dépens de la Compagnie 1744. Fine. Aux dépens de la Compagnie à Amsterdam 1744 9.50 x 16.20 cm relié New edition illustrated with 32 figures by Punt and a title vignette repeated on all 4 volumes. Title pages in red and black. This appears to be the first edition to be fully illustrated as previous editions presented only four frontispieces however it should be noted that the figures bear the date 1742. The mention of third edition refers only to Dutch editions and is therefore not significant. Translation by Abbé Prévost and Aubert de la Chesnaye des Bois. Contemporary full brown sheep binding. Decorated spine with raised bands. Red morocco title and volume labels. Head of volume I split at head. A lack at head of volume II. A lack to the upper joint at foot of volume I. Tailpiece partly missing on volume III. Corners slightly bumped. Rubbing. Scattered foxing. Pamela was a veritable sensation in the literary world and achieved resounding success throughout Europe. Its principal merit is undoubtedly having given birth not only to the epistolary novel Rousseau but to Fielding who produced two satirical sequels: The Adventures of Joseph Andrews and Tom Jones. We know that Diderot was unstinting in his praise of this novel. Pamela is a novel of manners and a sentimental novel whose impact on 18th-century literature is indelible and enduring. It is often considered the first bourgeois novel of manners and this shift of the action's setting from aristocracy to bourgeoisie had an enormous impact. Aux dépens de la Compagnie hardcover

Although chapters are devoted to the ancient Near East and the Jews its principal concern is with the societies of ancient Greece and Rome. These are often considered as the first examples in world history of genuine slave societies because of the widespread prevalence of chattel slavery which is argued to have been a cultural manifestation of the ubiquitous violence in societies typified by incessant warfare. There was never any sustained opposition to slavery and the new religion of Christianity probably reinforced rather than challenged its existence. In twenty-two chapters leading scholars explore the centrality of slavery in ancient Mediterranean life using a wide range of textual and material evidence. Non-specialist readers in particular will find the volume an accessible account of the early history of this crucial phenomenon.<br /> <br /> This set is heavy and oversize and will require additional postage to ship internationally; please contact us for an international shipping quote.

Shelved above WWI. Samuel Richardson 1689 - 1761 was an English writer and printer known for his epistolary novels. He printed almost 500 works including journals and magazines working periodically with the London bookseller Andrew Millar. Richardson had been apprenticed to a printer whose daughter he eventually married. He lost her along with five sons but remarried and had four daughters who reached adulthood but had no male heirs to continue the print shop. As it ran down he wrote his first novel at the age of 51 and joined the admired authors of his day. via Wikipedia<br> <br /> <br> <br /> Much like the Bertrams in Mansfield Park Jane Austen and her siblings were fond of putting on "theatricals" at home for their friends and neighbors. In 1793 at the age of eighteen Jane Austen began writing and shortly afterwards abandoned a dramatic adaptation of this work entitled Sir Charles Grandison or the happy Man a comedy in 6 acts. She completed it in 1800. 1360646. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. T. Longman; T. Johnson; et. al hardcover
